Andrew said...: I live in Ohio. I just went shopping at Kroger, and saw the front page of the Columbus Dispatch. (Does anyone actually buy newspapers anymore?) The entire front page was a photo of a man on a car assembly line, with the main article being about the new US-Mexico trade agreement. The Dispatch is a typically left-wing paper, but this was very positive coverage. While the national news media is focused on McCain and the flag-raising "controversy," along with the typical Russia BS, local news is covering what really matters. That agreement is a very big deal here. I don't know about the rest of the country, but lots of people in Ohio really love the man. I've also noticed that people are becoming more outspoken about supporting Trump, without worrying about who's listening. There is definitely a change in the atmosphere, and I think Trump is already a shoe-in here if he runs in 2020.; 8/28/18, 8:12 PM

Part A

Part B

This series of two articles tells in much detail the RussiaGate events of March and April 2016.

This was the period in which George Papadopoulos met with Joseph Mifsud for the first several times.

I had not known that Robert "The FBI Whitewasher" Mueller and Aaron Zebley (Mueller's former Chief of Staff during their FBI years) came to the White House to meet with Stefanie Osburn, the Executive Director of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB).

During 2016, both Mueller and Zebley were retired from the FBI, but now they are the two top members of the Special Counsel staff.

Osburn phoned Mueller and Zebley on March 22, and the three subsequently met in the White House on April 13.

In regard to the dates March 22 and April 13, here are some other dates.

* March 21 = Papadopoulos and Carter Page publicly named as Trump's advisers.

* March 24 = Papadopoulos meets with Mifsud in London, where Papdopoulos is introduced to "Putin's niece".

* April 18 = Mifsud meets in Moscow with Ivan Timofeev, who subsequently will become Papadopoulos's alleged connection to Putin's government.

April 18 - NSA Director Mike Rogers terminates all access to the NSA databases for FBI contractors. (Rogers had discovered the contractors' abuse of the database on March 9.)

April 19 = Mary Jacoby, wife of Glenn Simpson (co-owners of Fusion GPS), visits the White House for two hours.

April 22 = Timofeev sends Papadopoulos an e-mail thanking him "for an extensive talk" and proposing to meet him personally in Moscow or London. Papadopoulos responds by e-mail that he has arranged a meeting with "the ambassador" in London in order "to discuss a process moving forward".; 8/28/18, 8:36 PM

Mike Sylwester said...: The Strange Case of Adam Lovinger: How Security Clearances of Trump Officials Are Politicized, an article by Jeff Carlson, author of the blog The Markets Work

The article's beginning:
------------

Adam Lovinger was a Strategic Affairs analyst with the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA). Since January 2017 he had been working on loan as a White House National Security Council analyst after being selected for the position by General Michael Flynn.

On May 1, 2017, Lovinger was notified that his Top-Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS-SCI) clearance had been suspended. He was to return to the Pentagon immediately.

How Lovinger arrived at this juncture is both illuminating and frightening. In the end, his story will likely shine a light on a broader series of events — some of which remain not fully known.

In September 2016, Lovinger, who holds a doctorate in law and is a professor at Georgetown University, was working in the Office of Net Assessment as a strategist. His position within the specialized think tank required a top-level security clearance.

According to his Georgetown profile, Lovinger’s responsibilities include “net assessments and competitive strategies developed for the Secretary of Defense on strategic competition in the Indian Ocean region, the Persian Gulf, and sub-Saharan Africa.”

Lovinger had grown increasingly concerned over the ONA’s use of outside contractors, due in part to the “problem of cronyism” and a growing “revolving door policy” that resulted from ONA analysts leaving to join the better-paid ranks of private contractors.

In 2016, Lovinger decided to write the first in a series of emails to ONA’s new director, James H. Baker, who had recently been appointed by Obama’s Defense Secretary.

[Continued in my following comment]; 8/28/18, 8:43 PM
Mike Sylwester said...: Continued from my comment at 8:43 PM
-----

One of the problems noted by Lovinger was the number of “sweet-heart contracts” issued “to a privileged few.” A secondary issue was the quality of work being received from these outside contractors. From Lovinger’s September email:

“On the issue of quality, more than once I have heard our contractor studies labeled ‘derivative,’ ‘college-level’ and based heavily on secondary sources. One of our contractor studies was literally cut and pasted from a World Bank report that I just happened to have read the week before reading the contractor study itself. Even the font was the same.”

The contractor being referenced was Long Term Strategy Group (LTSG), whose president is Jacqueline Newmyer. Chelsea Clinton and Newmyer were at each other’s weddings, and in 2011 Chelsea referred to Newmyer as her “best friend.”

According to USAspending.gov, LTSG has received approximately $14 million in contracts since 2007. In a 2015 article by Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon, it was reported that in 2009, Hillary Clinton had arranged meetings between Newmyer and Pentagon officials that involved contracting discussions.

In October 2016, Lovinger wrote a second email to Baker, this time identifying another individual as a source of contractual concern. Lovinger wrote of “the moral hazard associated with the Washington Headquarters Services contracting with Stefan Halper.”

Lovinger’s lawyer, Sean M. Bigley, said Halper “was being used by Net Assessment to go out essentially and engage with foreign government officials. As a contractor that’s totally illegal.”

According to USAspending.gov, Halper had been awarded $1.06 million in contracts through five payments beginning in 2012.

Halper was revealed earlier this year as the FBI informant who helped surveil the Trump Campaign through directed associations with Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. Halper paid Papadopoulos $3,000 for a policy paper in October 2016.

It appears that Lovinger’s first email to Baker had attracted someone’s attention. ....

Mike Sylwester said...: During the US Senate's trial of President Bill Clinton in January 1999, Senator Dale Bumpers (D, Arkansas) gave a speech that included the following passages.
-----

How did we come to be here? We’re here because of a five-year, relentless, unending investigation of the president. Fifty million dollars, hundreds of FBI agents fanning across the nation examining in detail the microscopic lives of people. Maybe the most intense investigation not only of a president but of anybody ever.

I feel strongly about this, so you’ll have to excuse me, but that investigation has also shown that the judicial system in this country can and does get out of kilter, unless it’s controlled, because there are innocent people innocent people who have been financially and mentally bankrupted.

One woman told me two years ago that her legal fees were 95,000 dollars. She said I don’t have $95,000 and the only asset I have is the equity in my home, which just happens to correspond to my legal fees of 95,000 dollars. And she says the only thing I can think of to do is to deed my home. This woman was innocent; never charged; testified before the grand jury a number of times. And since that time, she has accumulated an additional $200,000 in attorney fees. Javert’s pursuit of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables pales by comparison.

I doubt that there are few people, maybe nobody in this body, who could withstand such scrutiny. And in this case those summoned were terrified not because of their guilt, but because they felt guilt or innocence was not really relevant.

But after all of those years and 50 million dollars of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, you name it, nothing, nothing, the president was found guilty of nothing, official or personal. ...

The rule of law includes presidential elections. That’s a part of the rule of law in this country. We have an event, a quadrennial event in this country which we recall “presidential elections.” And that’s the day when we reach across this aisle and hold hands, Democrats and Republicans. And we say, “Win or lose, we will abide by the decision.” It is a solemn event, presidential elections, and it should not, they should not be undone lightly; or just because one side has the clout and the other one doesn’t. ...

If you vote to convict, in my opinion you’re going to be creating more havoc than he could ever possibly create. After all, he’s only got two years left. So don’t, for God’s sakes heighten people’s alienation that is at an all-time high toward their government. ...; 8/28/18, 9:14 PM

Worse is the sight of an emboldened U.S. President Donald Trump talking like he has a gun pointed at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s head. Buckle under, boy, give us what we want or we’ll slap auto tariffs on you.

...

Why did Mr. Trump opt to to seek an agreement with Mexico before Canada? One reason was that after his blow-up with Mr. Trudeau at the G7 Quebec summit in June, relations with the Prime Minister turned ornery. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland’s prickly speeches about Mr. Trump’s approach to internationalism didn’t help either.

...

Essentially it has no choice. Ottawa is backed into a corner. It can’t afford to see NAFTA collapse while Washington and Mexico work to ratify a bilateral package, which is extremely difficult given U.S. trade laws. Such an outcome would constitute one of the biggest negotiating failures in Canadian history.; 8/28/18, 9:14 PM

It’s amazing how you can make somebody seem like a raving maniac if you leave out enough context. What Trump was worried about was the loss of the US steel industry, which Canada has been undermining by using NAFTA loopholes to flood the US market with cheap Chinese steel. No such argument, of course can see the light of day in the Globe and Mail!; 8/28/18, 9:18 PM

Darrell said...: A Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, D.C., area hacked Hillary Clinton's private server throughout her term as secretary of state and obtained nearly all her emails, two sources briefed on the matter told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Chinese firm obtained Clinton's emails in real time as she sent and received communications and documents through her personal server, according to the sources, who said the hacking was conducted as part of an intelligence operation.

The Chinese wrote code that was embedded in the server, which was kept in Clinton's residence in upstate New York. The code generated an instant "courtesy copy" for nearly all of her emails and forwarded them to the Chinese company, according to the sources.

The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) found that virtually all of Clinton's emails were sent to a "foreign entity," Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican, said at a July 12 House Committee on the Judiciary hearing. He did not reveal the entity's identity, but said it was unrelated to Russia.

Two officials with the ICIG, investigator Frank Rucker and attorney Janette McMillan, met repeatedly with FBI officials to warn them of the Chinese intrusion, according to a former intelligence officer with expertise in cybersecurity issues, who was briefed on the matter. He spoke anonymously, as he was not authorized to publicly address the Chinese's role with Clinton's server.

Among those FBI officials was Peter Strzok, who was then the bureau's top counterintelligence official. Strzok was fired this month following the discovery he sent anti-Trump texts to his mistress and co-worker, Lisa Page. Strzok didn't act on the information the ICIG provided him, according to Gohmert.

Gohmert mentioned in the Judiciary Committee hearing that ICIG officials told Strzok and three other top FBI officials that they found an "anomaly" on Clinton's server.

The former intelligence officer The DCNF spoke with said the ICIG "discovered the anomaly pretty early in 2015."

"When [the ICIG] did a very deep dive, they found in the actual metadata -- the data which is at the header and footer of all the emails -- that a copy, a 'courtesy copy,' was being sent to a third party and that third party was a known Chinese public company that was involved in collecting intelligence for China," the former intelligence officer told TheDCNF.

"The [the ICIG] believe that there was some level of phishing. But once they got into the server something was embedded," he said. "The Chinese are notorious for embedding little surprises like this."

The intelligence officer declined to name the Chinese company.

...

The company that penetrated Clinton's server was not a technology firm and it served as a "front group" for the Chinese government, the source told The DC.

This Lanny Davis story and his recanting of blockbuster claims he made about himself and Michael Cohen and the now confirmed lies, admitted lies that Cohen and Lanny Davis said, told that Donald Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting before it happened and that Donald Trump knew about the WikiLeaks emails that they were gonna publish before they published them.

Lanny Davis is the primary source for both of those stories. Michael Cohen is a secondary source. Lanny Davis a primary, unnamed source for CNN. Both of those stories have now been debunked by none other than Lanny Davis.

So the big story is that CNN refuses to rescind the claim that Cohen said Trump knew about the Russian meeting in advance but he didn't know - said last lawyer to the party - Lanny Davis. It appears to me that rationally, Cohen was unlikely to lie under the circumstances.

Unimportant I guess, is the testimony and evidence that Trump violated Tax and Election laws by reimbursing Cohen $280,000 for bribes to Trump's whores and classifying such payments as legal fees.
