Ms. Tapper goes hysterical, tears off a feather and tries to stab Stephen Miller with it.

She's funny.

Nope, it's not legal...they're doing it to screw over the publisher & author.

Is that even legal? Is WikiLeaks somehow immune to charges of copyright violation?


Interestingly, I thought about downloading it for about a tenth of a second before realizing I’m not going to waste the time to read that tripe, even if it is free.

That's not the point.

Assange is saying, in his typical weird way, that this book is more "Russia Collusion."

Well played Mr. Assange, well played.

Never thought of him in that way, but having read Art of War, I think you are correct.

Interesting that at The Golden Hypocrites Awards, a potential 2020 Oprah run was intimated.

A run for her because her supporters all will get ..........................A NEW CAR!

At what point does the crowd pushing the “Trump is crazy and must be removed through Article 25” get investigated and prosecuted for seditious conspiracy? 18 USC 2384 - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2384

I’m getting more than tired of their blather, and although it is the next step in the “resistance”, it smacks more of a coup. Or how the communists treated some that disagreed (although they were “in” power, not out of it).

Deja Vu all over again:
Section 7 of the APA's Principles of Medical Ethics in 1973 and is still in effect as of 2017,[8] says:

On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.

When has that ever stopped them? Vey few people can resist the lights and cameras to show all they know. Besides everyone knows conservatives, especially fervent ones, are nut cases.

It is probably a mere coincidence that the two people I dealt with in my legal career who seemed the most personality disordered were a husband and wife psychriatrist couple.

If this applies to two bit psychologists, my diagnosis of narcissist of barry the wonder putz may be outside the ethics of two bit psychologist, even though accurate.

For those who missed her speech, here's a summary:

"Women good, men bad. Unless you're a kept man"

There you go.

from Politico:

NSA Director Adm. Mike Rogers has decided he will retire this spring, two former U.S. intelligence officials told POLITICO, ending a near four-year tenure bookended by major leaks that rattled the agency.

It's expected that President Donald Trump will nominate Rogers' successor this month, putting a final Senate confirmation vote two to three months away.

Operation Condor – How NSA Director Mike Rogers Saved The U.S. From a Massive Constitutional Crisis

This is a long, somewhat involved report that walks thru what Nunes of the House Intel Committee has been looking into

So much has been going on the last 2 years that it is hard to keep everything focused. But I remember back in the time after the Nov 2016 election, there were stories that sounded like ADM Rogers of NSA was trying to protect and warn the incoming president.

Just read this related article. Very glad I read it before eating anything.

First, sdy, thanks for posting that. I think you should have Director Of Intelligence for Sigforum as your title.

Damn, I read through that article, puts together the time lines. Obummer apparently made a mistake appointing an honorable person like Mike Rogers as the NSA Director, of course at the same time, Obummer's peoples (or folks ;...cops and Chicago residents will get the reference) were going to make Rogers the fall guy.

I read this the other day, and thought it is a lot of coincidence and conjecture, tied together to promote clicks.

I believe that flag officers generally must be promoted or retire within 3 years. Rogers has been in his current post for 3 years in April, so he would be retiring now in any event. He is also a restricted line officer, not ordinarily eligible for Navy command.

Apparently it is now deleted.

Trump is in Nashville to deliver remarks at the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual convention.

The local news stated he may sign a new Presidential Resolution as well while here. The News covers him so poorly I just wondered that if true, if it was anything significant.

A Justice Department official demoted late last year for concealing his meetings with the men behind the anti-Trump “dossier” has been stripped of yet another title, Fox News has learned.

Bruce Ohr is no longer head of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.

Separately, sources familiar with the discussions tell Fox News that the Justice Department is expected to comply with demands from the House Intelligence Committee to provide Ohr for an interview. He is scheduled to visit the committee on Jan. 17, sources said.

Fox News first reported in December that Ohr had been demoted from the position of associate deputy attorney general, after it was revealed he had conducted undisclosed meetings with dossier author Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that produced the salacious document.


Fox News also reported that his wife Nellie Ohr worked for Fusion GPS, specifically on research related to the dossier.

At the time of his demotion, DOJ officials told Fox News that Bruce Ohr had been "wearing two hats," and would fall back to his other title and portfolio – as head of OCDETF.

Now, Ohr has been stripped of that role as well; former deputy director Thomas Padden is now acting director. It is unclear where Ohr has landed, only that he is still an employee with the Department of Justice.

One DOJ insider joked that Ohr might end up in “one of those offices without a phone.”

Fox News has also confirmed that Bruce Ohr, as the head of OCDETF, was directly involved with Project Cassandra, the interagency investigation spearheaded by the DEA that tracked a massive international drug and money laundering scheme allegedly run by Hezbollah.

The project recently was the subject of a critical and lengthy Politico report looking at how the Obama administration may have hampered the investigation. Those closest to Project Cassandra, including Derek Maltz, the now-retired supervisory DEA agent who was a major player in the operation, claim the project and its potential prosecutions were sidelined by senior Obama administration officials who didn't want to upset Iran in the lead-up to the historic nuclear deal with Tehran in 2015.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has promised to look into what happened with the investigation.

He said in a statement last month: "While I am hopeful that there were no barriers constructed by the last admission to allowing DEA agents to fully bring all appropriate cases under Project Cassandra, this is a significant issue for the protection of Americans. We will review these matters and give full support to investigations of violent drug trafficking organizations."

Sources close to the attorney general told Fox News that he was recently made aware of Ohr's role in Project Cassandra and that Sessions is personally involved in the review and frequently asks for updates.
