Bringing The CIA To Justice

Hmm.

Justice Dept. Seeks to Question C.I.A. in Its Own Russia Investigation

WASHINGTON — Justice Department officials intend to interview senior C.I.A. officers as they review the Russia investigation, according to people briefed on the matter, indicating they are focused partly on the intelligence agencies’ most explosive conclusion about the 2016 election: that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia intervened to benefit Donald J. Trump.

The interview plans are the latest sign the Justice Department will take a critical look at the C.I.A.’s work on Russia’s election interference. Investigators want to talk with at least one senior counterintelligence official and a senior C.I.A. analyst, the people said. Both officials were involved in the agency’s work on understanding the Russian campaign to sabotage the election in 2016.

While the Justice Department review is not a criminal inquiry, it has provoked anxiety in the ranks of the C.I.A., according to former officials. Senior agency officials have questioned why the C.I.A.’s analytical work should be subjected to a federal prosecutor’s scrutiny. Attorney General William P. Barr, who is overseeing the review, assigned the United States attorney in Connecticut, John H. Durham, to conduct it.

As advertised.

In the future I would appreciate it if you don’t make up shit out of thin air just to try and score a point. I challenge you to find one example on this blog where I have ever applied the Forrest Gump comparison to anyone here at JOM who disagreed with me. Every time I have used it I explicitly made comparisons to leftwingers or independent voters, never fellow JOM posters.

May 16, 2019:

So will just about everyone. It would be the biggest plot twist in the Spygate movie script of them all. The thing is the reality as of today is that the Obama criminal cabal/silent coup members are trying to paint Comey as the ringleader behind the Steele dossier. Today we heard an absurdity from Baker that is akin to McCabe saying Rosenstein was serious about wearing a wire. The absurdity was that Comey was using the Steele dossier to blackmail Trump. How many people with an IQ higher than Forrest Gump believe Comey was trying to blackmail Trump? I beginning to think Comey was not in cahoots with the silent coup conspirators (Brennan, McCabe, Baker, Strzok etc).

I must have overlooked the explicit comparison to leftwingers or independent voters. And, yes, I suspect Comey was attempting to send a message to Trump, that amounted to blackmail.

Maybe I'm retarded or something, but I do not recall the 24.7 FEDERAL SPOOK agencies who all agreed with OBAMA, that our ELECTIONS WERE BEING HACKED, and then they trotted out BRENNAN and CRAPPER to bullshit us, I don't recall them ever showing ANYTHING or SAYING ANYTHING about how this ELECTION HACKING was going on. The shit they HAVE asserted is so chock full of BULLSHIT as to be laughable. They allowed this to happen, then made MT FUCKING EVEREST out of a MOLE HILL in order to JUSTIFY THEIR CRIMES.

It's OBAMA and his CABAL created bullshit hysteria to cover up THEIR CRIMES.

Genuinely sorry to see you bow out. I do thank you for acknowledging in a roundabout way that wise Trump supporters know they can’t take everything Trump says 100% literally. The challenge as you and I and anyone else within an IQ higher than Forrest Gump knows is figuring out what is literal and what is deception. I freely admit that is not an easy task but I trust my judgement to get it right significantly more times than I get it wrong.

Is anyone who disagrees that the challenge is unraveling the 4-D puzzle of Trump's statements a leftwinger or independent voter?

The word Cabal is closely related to Cabala a mysterious Hebrew theosophy dating back into antiquity but which became very active during the 10th and succeeding centuries. Cabala was anounced as "a special rebalation" of the sacred writings. Pear's Cyclopedia 57th edition, page 529 says "Cabalism was later carried to great excess." Cabal list leaders pretending to read signs, and evidence, in letters and forms, and numbers, contained in the Scriptures. The French named this mysterious rite Cabale. The French used the term Cabale to designate any group of political or private intriguers. The English coined the name Cabal because the chief personages concerned with Cabalistic intrigue in England were Clifford Ashley, Buckingham, Arlington and Lauderdale, in that order. The first letter of their names spells Cabal! Cabalists were the instigators of various forms of political and religious unrest during the unhappy reign of Charles II.-William Guy Carr

[Another Bob]

“whether Vettel should have been assessed a penalty”

As much as I can’t stand Ferrari and the games they’ve played in F1 for decades, and that I’m not particularly a fan of Vettel, I thought the penalty was ridiculous.

Vettel didn’t yet regain full control of the car after missing the turn, and the wall was right there. Even if he intentionally played it in a way to screw Hamilton, that’s part of the gamesmanship. It wasn’t “unsafe”.

Auto racing generally is dying a slow death for a lot of reasons. Over officiating and too many rules is one of them.

[jim nj]

Synovus and Wachovia don't sound bad to me. Maybe I just gotten used to the names. Maybe the same will happen with Truist.

Wachovia sounds like a territory or empire. A place name so it doesn't grate on the ears.

Synovus is more of a stretch but I think I can see an origin story. "de novo" is a nanking term that indicates a start-up brand new bank. Add in synergy like you might hope for in a merger. Synergy + de novo - Synovus.

[Narciso79]

Well I was thinking of more creative names, synivis is near by.

I sense they are going to go the credit expansion route again. Pile more debt on the existing unmanageable pile they already have.

They're whistling past the graveyard. This might help short-term, but not over the long-term. They are kicking the bad loans into the future when they should be working on reducing them now.

China is a command economy, but individuals and companies may be making capitalist decisions about what to do with their money.

I expect to see more outflows of capital from China which will have an effect on the credit expansion. The credit expansion may even make it easier to move money overseas.

[RattlerGator]

Hmmmmmmmmm, indeed.

"Senior agency officials have questioned why the C.I.A.’s analytical work should be subjected to a federal prosecutor’s scrutiny."

For America, that's not the question. Quite the opposite. Why *shouldn't* their work be subjected to a federal prosecutor'scrutiny is the question.

The likely answer, as most of us know, is plainly simple: there's *no* good reason why it shouldn't REGULARLY be scrutinized.

But I love this piece of the article, down at the very end.

"Ms. Haspel’s willingness to cooperate — shared by Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence — could be influenced by . . . . "

I love how they frame this. Durham has treated the CIA favorably in the past. I'm sure that's it, not the Chief Executive's command to the Executive Branch to quickly and fully cooperate with the Attorney General's investigation.

Hoyden,

It's funny, but back when I ran market data for an investment firm my mind was never off so I could have gotten away with the sleeping/thinking thing.

My boss knew I was an oddball, but I was always thinking of ways to improve things. The more I learned the better I got. When I first started there I relied on my boss for systems I didn't understand. I soon surpassed him and he couldn't micro-manage me any more. And I told him that.

As a smoker I often took the elevator down a few floors to have a smoke. I had a pager, so I was never out of touch.

He'd sometimes come down for a coffee or because he suspected I was down there. We'd talk and accomplish a lot just sitting there. I always carried a pen and paper, and as I sat there I'd think of all the things I had promised to do and hadn't done.

Things were very fast paced the first few years I was there and my boss knew I wasn't just slacking off to have a smoke, but re-grouping, planning out what to do next.

I was lucky to have a boss who came to trust me. In return I went from Market Data Analyst to Jr. VP, VP, to Sr. VP in five years and my salary went from $45K plus bonus to $90K plus bonus.

That kind of rise in an investment firm is unprecedented.

It probably didn't hurt that I interacted with every department head and the COO/CFO, as market data users, so when the promotions went up for approval all of them agreed.

I loved that place. I was a big fish in a small pond and could have gone elsewhere for more money, but I felt appreciated.

I have a weird car issue I've never encountered; simple electronics, I presume. I bought a beautiful Genesis G80 3.3T Sport earlier this year. It's rated by many in the proletariat as the BEST luxury car for the MONEY.

I *love* the car.

Twice now, however, my trunk has unexpectedly opened while the car is parked. Two weeks ago I'm in the Atlanta area celebrating a high school graduation. I like to arise early when headed back home and tip out around 3 or 4 a.m. when everyone is asleep. This time I head out and my trunk is wide open. I know damn well I didn't consciously open it so I presume I mistakenly hit the fob while getting up.

Two days ago, I'm driving back home from Macon County JahJuh, pull in for a fastfood lunch, and while waiting for my order a patron tells me my trunk is wide open. What the hell ???

Is the simple answer I have a fob that, for whatever reason, far too sensitive and *it* needs to be replaced? I'm taking it to the dealer this morning and anticipating an "I don't really have a clue" type of response.

broken sensor or loose latch on the lid.

I think there was a determination to keep the merged name under wraps so there were too few people in the room. If you are going to develop names someone in the room should understand linguistics well enough to recognize the problem with having that multisyllabic vowel switch in the middle of you brand name.

If you are going to be the 6th largest US bank you need a strong name, not a trite one. It's not a winning slogan to say "we will show better judgment in managing your money than we showed in picking our name."

Although there is an old business saying that if you are a borrower that you want your lawyers smart and your bankers sloppy.

[rich]

another guess would be missing shielding on the electronics and wires leading to the deck release or the inside manual release is too tight.

RG, first guess is fob, second guess is maladjusted trunk latch.

Might be able to do an informal test of the fob. Compare press force and distance required on the trunk open button vs. the door lock/unlock button(s). If there’s an LED on the fob that lights when the radio signal is emitted, might make the test easier.

maybe see if there are covers for the fob, sort of like a cell phone case? broken button on the fob itself.

(is it one of those wizbang key/fob combos ... damn thing's so big it jabs into my leg and so annoying to carry i have the bad habit of taking out my keys and leaving them on my desk)

broken button on the fob itself.

Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee belatedly admitted to secretly purchasing an operation, sourced by their own admission to Russian government agents, to affect the 2016 election. They also sought info from Ukrainian govt officials. Nearly no media concern.

Why I've said Milw better be damn sure the DNC is going to pay its bills in 2020:

The Democratic National Committee has a huge money problem. Has spent more than it took.

the obama administration-the gift that keeps on giving (and very odd all of zero's post presidency travels too)... not only was he a disaster domestically he undermined one of the cornerstone defense relationships in the western world (five eyes) ... moving from disastrous to ruinous.

not sure i can square 4-D and an unaccountable government-within-a-government that operates as if obama is still president.
