I think the way they and CNN are reacting show they are scared SHITLESS that she's going down over this. If they weren't, they'd simply ignore the story altogether.

If you go back and recall some of the staements that Trump made post election, during the transition, and immediately after he took office, the was a distinct "flavor" to them. EspeciLly the way he addressed and referred to Zero. At the time there were some commentators such as Limbaugh who attributed this to Trump being "worried" about Barry's phycological demeanor post election. Looking at it now, it could very well be that Trump had proof he had an active op being run against him. It wouldnt surprise me either if the arrogant fuckstick Hussien told him as much as the reigns of power were exchanged.

I dont think there has ever been a time in this Nations history where a President has so corrupted and weaponized the power of the government against its own citizens. Part and parcel for a two bit Chicago street thug however.

President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.

Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again "regular attendees" of the NSC’s principals committee.

**************
note: Drudge headline says Bannon lost his security clearance. Have not seen that reported anywhere.

This may not be that big a deal. Could just be adjusting to the prior removal of Flynn and establishing the roles of NSA McMaster and DNI Coats


update: Drudge headline changed. No longer says anything about Bannon clearance. Had messaged Drudge twice why they were saying that.

The two lovely ladies on Fox Outnumbered Harris Faulkner and Eboni Williams were visibly pissed off at this statement by Corn today.
Faulkner and Williams are both black ladies that have more on the ball then all the dim wits on MSNBC combined.

Although it has been noted previously, wanted to bring up the issue of the DNC computers one more time to tie down a reference.

With all of the commotion about the Russians hacking the DNC computers, the FBI and NSA have never seen the DNC computers. Think about that.

A recent article identified where that is documented. Here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.36297cdb228a

From the link above:

HURD: Have you been able to -- when did the DNC provide access for -- to the FBI for your technical folks to review what happened?

COMEY: Well we never got direct access to the machines themselves . The DNC in the spring of 2016 hired a firm that ultimately shared with us their forensics from their review of the system.

HURD: Director Rogers, did the NSA ever get access to the DNC hardware?

ROGERS: The NSA didn't ask for access. That's not in our job...

HURD: Good copy. So director FBI notified the DNC early, before any information was put on Wikileaks and when -- you have still been -- never been given access to any of the technical or the physical machines that were -- that were hacked by the Russians.

COMEY: That's correct although we got the forensics from the pros that they hired which -- again, best practice is always to get access to the machines themselves, but this -- my folks tell me was an appropriate substitute.

so for all the claims about Russian hacking and so strong a position from all "17" intelligence agencies, the govt never saw the DNC computers.

An "appropriate substitute" for one of the biggest cases in FBI history where they claim the Russians hacked the 2016 election


HURD: Director Comey, when was the first time the FBI notified the DNC of the hack? Roughly.

COMEY: I think august of 2015.

Aug 2015. FBI notifies DNC of a hack

"The DNC in the spring of 2016 hired a firm that ultimately shared with us their forensics from their review of the system."

Clinton announced her candidacy in April 2015.
The DNC was warned of a problem in Aug 2015, but didn't hire Crowdstrike until spring of 2016. Isn't that amazing ?

Why was the hack successful? Because of astounding incompetence of the DNC and John Podesta

As I read it an earlier post said that Crowdstrike is back peddling on what they reported. So they are not the experts that they claimed to be? And the FBI paid them for their lousy work. Maybe we, the tax payers, should get a refund.

deja vu

from Dec 2015

https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.962e22beadde

Republican lawmakers criticized the Obama administration Wednesday after a report that U.S. eavesdropping on Israeli officials during the Iran nuclear negotiations had picked up communications with members of Congress and Jewish American organizations.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, announced that the panel will look into the findings of the Wall Street Journal report and whether all laws and rules were followed. The House Oversight Committee asked the National Security Agency for copies of its policies on screening intercepted communications from members of Congress.

Several candidates for the GOP presidential nomination also expressed alarm about the report , although it was not immediately clear whether any had participated in the intercepted phone calls with Israeli officials.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said at a campaign event in his home state that he wasn’t surprised because “this administration views Congress, Republicans and even Democratic members of Congress as their enemy,” CBS News reported.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) told Fox News, “I actually think it might be worse than what some people might think, but this is an issue that we’ll keep a close eye on.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), also appearing on Fox News, said he was “appalled” to learn that members of Congress had been caught up in the net cast by the NSA, National Security Agency, and he called for more “targeted surveillance” and more controls on the agency.

According to the Journal, when the White House learned that the NSA eavesdropping had collected communications with U.S. lawmakers, it feared being accused of spying on Congress and left it to the NSA to determine what information to share with the administration. The Journal said the NSA did not pass along the names of lawmakers or any of their personal attacks on White House officials.

The State Department referred all questions about the wiretapping to the National Security Council.

I'm tired of them pussy-footing around this Rice issue. I don't know why they are wasting time and effort with these dog-and-pony show congressional hearings. Neither Clapper, Brennan, nor Rice or going to tell the truth, so why bother?

They need to get the Department of Justice involved and have them do an investigation, be it Special Prosecutor or whatever it is they do.

This is a criminal matter and should be handled like any other criminal matter, not by worthless hearings in front of some BS committee.

I have said it before. There will be no admissions of guilt from any Democrat involved with these issues. They will deny, lie, and take the Fifth. No new information will be obtained from them.

I disagree based only on my hopes and what I have seen so far from the Trump administration.

My thoughts are that, as well run as the propaganda machine is, this group in the White House is as resolute as I have seen in a long time in exposing the truth.

The pattern is now predictable:
Trump make a claim
The media repeats claim only to say there is no proof
The claim by Trump is eventually proven to be accurate.

Well, fortunately for us, we don't NEED an 'admission of guilt.' Rice can lie and evade all she wants; it's not like she is completely untouchable without an admission of guilt. A simple "Guilty" charge will do nicely.

We don't need to be so whipped and cowed by the antics of the leftists that we wring our hands and fret over getting them to 'admit' to anything.

Investigation.
Trial.
Verdict.
Sentence.

Problem solved (and a big warning to the NEXT bunch of leftists that may want to try this crap in the future).

Hard to do an investigation when the agencies that have the info are stonewalling the investigators. There will be no justice for the crimes of the Obama administration in a court of law. The only justice will be by the people at the ballot box.
