h said...: The far left journal The Nation has an interesting article on the origins of the Russia-Trump fiasco. (I am aware that The Nation bigwig Katrina vanden Heuvel is married to Princeton Prof Stephen F. Cohen who is a respected Russian scholar, but who has been so close to Soviet and Russian officials over the years, that it is impossible to reject a hypothesis that he and Katrina and The Nation are so sympathetic to Russia and Soviets that they’ve lost their objectivity.) Here’s some snippets from the article https://www.thenation.com/article/russiagate-brennan/

“[E]ven with this all-consuming investigation now over, we still do not have a firm understanding of how it began. …Mifsud helped trigger the certifiably false conspiracy theory that the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government. It would be most welcome to find out exactly how that occurred. … We have yet to receive a credible explanation for why intelligence officials thought it was appropriate to take cues from an unverified collection of lurid conspiracy theories about Trump—all paid for by his political opponent. …Then there is the role of the CIA under John Brennan. …The New York Times includes the curious claim that Durham has asked interview subjects “whether C.I.A. officials might have somehow tricked the F.B.I. into opening the Russia investigation. … The unfortunate reality is that under Trump, Democratic leaders and intelligence officials used the Russia investigation as a political weapon against his presidency. Now that it has proven baseless, Trump and his supporters have legitimate grounds to uncover how it began. The fact that Trump will use Russiagate’s failure as a political weapon is exactly why us skeptics on the left warned that its evidentiary holes would help him. Rather than complaining, those who brought us Russiagate should accept responsibility for handing Trump that opportunity, and work to ensure that the national security state does not receive opportunities to intrude again.”; 10/30/19, 5:59 PM

Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: Drudge has lost it. “Spectre of Nixon hangs over Republicans”

Whoever worked so hard to co-opt Drudge is just fighting the last war. There were no alternatives to Drudge on the right in the ‘90s during the Clinton impeachment. Now he is just a way to find out what today's DNC talking points are.; 10/30/19, 6:45 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: History may not repeat itself and it may not stammer, but it is making Republicans nauseous. Despite the span of time between the Nixon and Trump impeachments, two political rules remain unchanged. First, you stick with the president of your party through thick and thin. Turning on him risks depressing your base. Second, you turn on the president of your party when things become too thick. Sticking with him for a day longer energizes the base of the opposing party and loses swing voters.

No one on Capitol Hill wants to end up on the wrong side of history and, perhaps more importantly, on the losing side of an election. That is why today, in private rooms and trusted conversations, the consensus among Republicans in Congress across the board is “who needs this?”. - Steve Israel, The Hill

OK, catching up here. It's an understatement to describe Prof. Cohen the Russian expert as possibly unobjective--he was practically pissing himself on TV back when the institution he had devoted his life to studying (and frequently apologizing for) was undergoing it's overdue collapse. And let's not forget The Nation's coverage of Yugoslavia, whose readers were assured was pointing the way under Tito--Non-alignment (ha) and Socialism were overcoming the old ethnic and sectarian hatreds (haHAha).

OTOH, when you're right you're right, and Cohen could smell the DS-stank all over the Russia Collusion Hoax.

h said...: Replying to Narr at 7:03: In my earlier comment (at 5:59) I did not want to distract attention from what the Nation article actually said by inviting a long side-argument about whether or not the Nation was legitimately pro-left (and by implication anti-Trump). I wanted to recognize honestly the possibility of bias in The Nation. But I think the arguments in the article stand on their own.; 10/30/19, 7:31 PM
h said...: Replying to commenters: Those of us who want to be objective can't avoid the comparisons to Nixon. I've made those comparisons here (on Althouse) in a number of comments.

1. The worst thing that Nixon did -- and what made his Presidency unsupportable -- was his attempt to use the CIA to ask the FBI not to investigate watergate break-in. He wanted CIA to tell FBI that the break-in was part of a national security effort. So step 1: read up about watergate, and see if you disagree with my characterization of Nixon and his role in Watergate scandal and see if you disagree that his role might have justified removal from office and see if you disagree that this is what actually caused Nixon to resign. You can disagree with any of this, but you need to work backwards from the fact that Nixon did resign, and did resign under pressure from both parties of Congress. You can argue, if you wish, that Nixon made a big mistake in resigning, but I think that train has left the station.

2. Lots of people (commenting here and elsewhere) believe that what happened in the OBAMA administration were a lot like what was described in point 1. Use of government resources for political ends. (Nixon: CIA tell the FBI to back off) to achieve political outcomes (Obama administration: CIA tell the FBI to investigate Trump Russia. Or DoJ use FISA court to investigate Trump associates).

3. If you are pro-Trump you are probably with me so far. But the point 3 is the essential question of whether Trump tried to use the Ukrainian phone call (a government resource) for political ends. It does seem to me that the gov't criminal investigation authority allows investigations of any criminal. A criminal cannot avoid investigations by announcing a campaign for President. But if Trump did use gov't resources for his own political ends, I need to work through the questions of whether or not this (a) not just as bad as Nixon (even if Obama was just as bad as Nixon), or (b) different from Nixon.; 10/30/19, 7:55 PM

Big Mike said...: @h, regarding your point #3, does it change your calculations once you realize that in most respects Joe Biden would be the easiest of the leading candidates to take down? Get on YouTube and search for “creepy Joe Biden.” Unless YouTube has taken them down there are literally scores of clips of him inappropriately touching wives and young daughters of men who have their families with them on stage as they are bring honored. I do not think it appropriate for seventy year old men to place their hands on the side of a teenaged girl do that his fingertips brush her breast. I’m a septuagenarian myself, and it’s nothing I would do in private, much less on stage in front of cameras. Add in gaffes where he can to even remember which state he’s in, episodes of him losing his train of thought, and other demonstrations of senility, and he’d be lucky to carry his home state or Delaware. And Ukraine is surely not the only episode of Biden corruption, merely the one where he bragged about it on camera and in front of witnesses.

What I am looking for (or considering) is reasonable arguments that what Trump did (in terms of using executive branch resources for political gain) is (a) not true -- not what Trump did or (b) it is what Trump did but not as bad as Nixon (or Obama). But you won't convince me by saying "Trump did it, but Obama did too." If I had known what the Obama administration did (what I think they did) when he was President, I would have supporting impeachment and removal of Obama. Obama was very clever in keeping these actions under wraps and at third hand removed. l; 10/31/19, 12:15 AM

Bruce Hayden said...: “…Then there is the role of the CIA under John Brennan. …The New York Times includes the curious claim that Durham has asked interview subjects “whether C.I.A. officials might have somehow tricked the F.B.I. into opening the Russia investigation. …”

The interesting thing there is that there is plenty of evidence that the FBI was working with the CIA on this. Joseph Misfyp helped train both CIA and FBI agents at his LINK Campus, so pretty much everyone involved knew that he was western intelligence and not a Russian asset. There have long been rumors that Peter Strzok was dual hatted, working for both agencies at the same time. Regardless, he was well known to Brennan, and was personally selected by him to work on the Intelligence Committee Assessment that (falsely and fraudulently) determined that the Russians had hacked the DNC server. By Strzok’s text messages with Page, it is fairly obvious that he in particular, and the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division in general, knew all about the Steele Dossier, and were waiting with great anticipation to receive it from the CIA through proper channels. This, btw, was a humorous place in the text messages, with him coming back victorious from London, and Page and her boss, McCabe, were maneuvering to get briefed on it before he briefed his immediate boss, Bil Priestrap.

In any case, that statement suggests that USA Durham seems more interested, at least there, in nailing the CIA for the entire SpyGate scandal, pretending, maybe, that the FBI and their DOJ were innocent dupes in the whole matter. This should be sending shivers of fear coursing up and down Brennan’s back right now, knowing that in a bureaucratic fight, people owing allegiance to the DOJ (Barr and Durham) would almost invariably try to put as much blame as possible on other agencies. Making things esp dangerous for the CIA, Barr has full declassification authority, which breaches their primary defense against being held accountable by claiming everything is classified (with the ownership of the classified information owned by the DNI, and thus normally out of reach by the DOJ). And, since this is now a criminal investigation, pretty much anything that the CIA (and ODNI) might do to stymie the investigation can be prosecuted as Obstruction of Justice.

This should be interesting. Making it more so, it is likely to roll out next spring and summer.; 10/31/19, 2:35 AM

Of course, the transcript has been out almost from the first. The Dems are essentially constrained to argue that it felt like pressure from Trump to investigate Biden, despite that fairly obviously not being found in the text of the call. And we are back to where we were with Mueller, arguing for Obstruction, because one of Trump’s motives for the actions laid out in the Mueller Report might not have been legitimate, when the actual standard is just the opposite, that a plausible legitimate reason for an action effectively negates the required specific intent. Mueller’s Lawfare misinterpretation of the Obstrution statute isn’t the law, and likely never will be. Similarly, imputing an improper motive, amongst several legitimate and proper motives doesn’t make a quid pro quo deal with the Ukrainians criminal (or a High Crime or Misdemeanor).; 10/31/19, 3:07 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: I wanted to follow up a bit with my comments on Joseph Misfyp. In the 4 Carter Page FISA warrant applications, he was described as a Russian asset, or working for the Russian government. And that is highly unlikely. If it had been true, then it would have been one of the biggest western intelligence breaches of the last several decades, because of his long experience teaching western intelligence analysts and agents - not just FBI and CIA, but the people for a number of other western intelligence agencies too. And he knew a lot of the higher ups in intelligence agencies throughout Europe, as well as the US.

What has long appeared to have been the case, it appears likely that retired British spy, Stephen Halper, on a very lucrative consulting contract with an obscure DOD intelligence agency, was running both Misfyp and Alexander Downer, the Australian ambassador to the UK, as assets. Misfyp sought out Carter Page and told him that the Russians had Crooked Hillary’s 35,000 missing emails. And then later Alexander sought out Page, and got him (Page) to tell him (Alexander) what Misfyp had told him, about the Russians having Clinton’s missing emails. There are a number of photos on the Internet showing the three of them together, in various combinations. Those photos alone are strong indicia that the whole thing was a setup from Day 1.

It was critical for the FBI cabal acquiring the FISA warrants on Carter Page that Misfyp be a Russian, and not western intelligence asset, because that is essentially jurisdictional under FISA. It has to be alleged (and certified) that the foreign contact be working for one of our enemies in order for him to legally be targeted by FISA Title 1 warrant. Showing that the certification was false, because they all knew that Misfyp was a western intelligence asset, collapse the entire Crossfire Hurricane investigation, as well as the justification for the Mueller investigation. And that very much looks like where we are right now - the predicate for the spying on Page, and through him, Trump and his close associates, was falsified. That means that the entire predicate for spying was concocted, most likely by Brennan and the CIA, with full knowledge by the FBI and DOJ.; 10/31/19, 3:45 AM

Did Trump have the right to gather exculpatory evidence since he was under, and still is, investigation for soliciting election Russian interference when Ukraine has officially admitted to being pressured to interfere in the election by the Obama administration.

If you don’t think that Trump had a right to look into election interference coming out of Ukraine in 2016, which I will be happy to document.... again...., as a matter of national security, then I guess you have made up your mind.

Personally, I think that whatever information comes out of wherever as long as it really doesn’t harm national security, is fine, as long as it is true. A test that the stuff Obama’s CIA and FBI came out with fails. The Manafort stuff was apparently true, IDK. But Trump is facing removal(not really) for something that Obama and Hillary are plainly guilty of.

Big Mike said...: But you won't convince me by saying "Trump did it, but Obama did too."

But that’s not “replying to Big Mike” because I wrote nothing of the kind. Go reread what I wrote at 12:15. I made two points, the first being that Joe Biden would be an easy candidate to beat. You may disagree, but you’d be wrong. Trump can blanket the airwaves with ads showing Biden inappropriately touching little girls, with evidence that Biden is senile, and with evidence that Biden is corrupt. Would you vote for a man like that? Well, perhaps you would. At any rate, the first part of my argument is that Trump has no reason at this point to want Biden knocked out of the race.

The second part of my argument is essentially what you wrote to Ken B. at 12:19. How is Trump different from Nixon? Nixon tried to prevent a crime from being investigated. Trump is trying to have a probable case of corruption that was covered up be reopened and investigated by the proper authorities, even though it potentially could be to the detriment of his re-election.; 10/31/19, 6:41 AM

Shit gonna change - overnight
Resistance becomes a fight
Y’all gonna make some brand new plans, Nigga

I ain’t the one who made Oprah a star
Helping every con artist in the world go far

I ain’t the one who’s a Hillary fan
Brought back slavery to Libya, Man

I ain’t the one told Madonna she’s an actor
Put Kabballah water in a nuclear reactor

I ain’t the one that’s backing psychics
Ruining your lives and then act like you like it

I ain’t the one that wore pussy hats
Grown women protest like pussy cats

I ain’t the one go to Whole Paycheck
And then come back, wonder what did I get?

I ain’t the one trying to end the patriarchy
Just so I can start some brand new malarky

I ain’t the one that says intuition
Is something that men must be missing

I ain’t the one that’s into misandry
trying to pretend no one understands me

I ain’t the one conversating about race
As I try to take over a place

I ain’t the one x4

I ain’t the one invented 57 genders
then gets mad when no one remembers

I ain’t the one said “Women on top”
And then had a son before this bullshit stop

I ain’t the one said we’re dead in 10 years
back in ’89, seeing we’re still here

I ain’t the one said “We have to go vegan”
When that shit’s debunked with President Reagan

I ain’t the one said “Quit the vaccines”
Making kids sick, making folks mean

I ain’t the one said we had to “go organic”
Raise the price of food, putting niggas in a panic

I ain’t the one that quit chiropractic
Then had a stroke because your spine ain’t elastic

Skylark, squirrels and chipmunks still excite my little dackel, but what really gets him going is the 'possum that blunders through a few times a year.

Remarkable critters, possums. Their body temperature is lower than most mammals so they don't carry as many harmful-to-humans illnesses as most, especially raccoons. A treed 'possum is one of the few things that can keep the dog out barking for hours, even in the cold.

I hit a possum who was crossing the road at night.
He's been called up, and is now playing possum in the big leagues.; 10/31/19, 3:54 PM
