Russiagate, Russiagate, Rah, Rah, Rah!

Quite a heap this morning. Let's start with some real news. First, we've been wondering what's happened to Michael Flynn; he should have been sentenced and taken his 2 weeks in the pokey like George Papadop long ago. Well, it seems the Mueller team is still squeezing him: Politico, Prosecutors: Person 'connected to' Congress tried to influence Flynn's cooperation with Mueller. That's odd. Also in the Michael Flynn case, Federal judge orders parts of Mueller report unredacted, made public. Will we find out what Peter Strzok was up to when he ambush interviewed Flynn?

WSJ, Mueller Testimony to Congress Stalled by Executive-Privilege Claim, but Barr Says He Isn’t Blocking Mueller’s Testimony to Congress.

At Red State, Hannity: His Sources Say IG Horowitz ‘Is Done And It’s Devastating’, and from Sundance at CTH, Declassification Directive Possible Next Week?… which could explain why all of Obama's intelligence chiefs are running around like mad and pointing fingers at each other. Yahoo!, Top FBI officials were 'quite worried' Comey would appear to be blackmailing Trump. That's Jim Baker using the imperial "we". Twitchy, Well hellooo BOMBSHELL: Ex-top FBI lawyer James Baker’s admissions on the Steele dossier and Comey so DAMNING

Ex-top FBI lawyer James Baker: We took Steele dossier on @realDonaldTrump "seriously" but "not necessarily literally" https://t.co/pTI1lxZFj4

Nice Deb at PJ Media, Washington WhodunIt: Who Pushed the Dossier, Brennan or Comey?, and Liz Shield, The Morning Briefing: SPY vs. SPY as Comey, Brennan Point Fingers. Katie Pavlisch at Town Hall, Blame Game: Clapper, Brennan and Comey Start Turning on Each Other as Barr Turns Up the Heat, and Flopping Aces Dr. John, The panic and finger pointing have begun! You can smell the fear. Rushbo! Coup Collaborators Turn on Each Other. First to confess gets his choice of prison uniform!

Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 05.16.19, Don Surber has J. Edgar Comey Tried To Blackmail Trump and Legal Insurrection's  Who’s Going To Cut A Deal First In Spygate?

Things that make you go hmmm!

The Italian prime minister has suddenly requested resignations from 6 deputy directors of Italian intelligence agencies: DIS, AISI and AISE. This was all after I outed Mifsud in Rome and the president called the Italian prime minister. Italy has flipped and are giving up Brennan.

At Red State, Disturbing Bit Of Trivia: In 2003 Interview, Comey Admitted To Voting Communist In The 70s – Just Like Brennan. It figgers. I voted for a Democrat once in the 70s, I think.  Same thing.

But, Ace, "Republican" Senator Richard Burr, Who Is Fighting Hard to Keep the Collusion Delusion Alive By Demanding Trump, Jr. Testify, Won't Commit To Calling Brennan and Clapper to Testify -- Of Course



Gateway Pundit, REPORT: Special Prosecutor John Durham Targeting CIA in its Role in Origins of Spygate – Brennan’s Actions Will ‘Come Into Sharper Focus’. Julie Kelly at AmGreat, The FISA Footnote that Could Doom Collusion Hoaxsters and at CNS News, Nunes: FBI's FISA Application Was Part Steele Dossier, Part 'Insurance Policy'. Daniel Chaitin at WaEx, Devin Nunes: Peter Strzok's 'insurance policy' was about getting into Trump campaign emails.

 Brian Cates at Epoch Times, And So It Begins … A good review of the status of Spygate investigations. S. Noble at the Independent Sentinel, Barr’s Investigator John Durham Once Probed Mueller in a Shocking Case. While Mueller was US Attorney in Boston, FBI agents under him protected Whitey Bulger, and sent innocent men to jail to protect them. "Bull" Durham put one of the FBI agents in jail for 10 years, but left Mueller unscarred. At Front Page Mag, NO WRAY OF HOPE FOR FBI REFORM - Comey crony Christopher Wray acts as security guard for Clinton coup clan. Trump knows personnel is policy, and does not hesitate to make a change to get his policies in place. Law And Crime, Federal Prosecutors Suggest Robert Mueller’s Grand Jury Is Still Hard at Work

Breitbart, Jim Jordan Urges Democrats to Release Tactics on Attacking Trump. Democrats colluding to attack Trump? Knock me over with a feather!

Jordan wrote in his letter to Cummings:

You have sought to avoid public scrutiny of your quest to obtain the President’s financial information. First, you wrote to Mazars in secret to request the President’s financial information; second, you executed a nonpublic MOU to coordinate with Chairwoman Waters; and finally, you broke your promise to hold a public business meeting to debate a subpoena to Mazars. Your nonpublic MOU has now become a matter of significant public interest due to your unprecedented actions. In the interest of promoting the utmost transparency about the Committee’s business, I encourage you to release publicly your MOU with Chairwoman Waters and any other signed or unsigned MOUs that you have entered into so that the American people can understand the extent to which you and other Democrat chairpersons are engaged in an orchestrated effort to attack the President for political gain.

Rep. Jordan revealed that Cummings did not respond to his letter in April, nor did he consult with Republican members of the committee regarding the terms of the secret MOU.

Ace, The Same Guy Who Claimed There Was a Russian Embassy in Miami is The "Key Source" for Both the Pee-Pee Party Claim and the Whole Claim of an "Extensive Conspiracy" Between Trump and Russia

EXCLUSIVE: The "Steele" dossier source who falsely claimed there was a Russian Consulate in Miami was ALSO was a source for the Moscow “pee tape” AND **the key source** alleging an “extensive conspiracy” between the Trump campaign & Russia involving Manafort and Page 🚨

THREAD

— Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 16, 2019

The thread lays out the documents confirming that "SOURCE E" is responsible for all these claims. The guy who doesn't know where the Russian embassy is, but knows all about Russian KOMPROMAT missions and somehow knows that Trump is conspiring with Russia.

More Ace (in red) Trey Gowdy: Hillary Clinton's Chief Conspiracy Theorist and Cut-Rate Master of Whispers Sydney Blumenthal Was Used to "Corroborate" "Steele" Doissier

Really? Gee, I had no idea!

I put all the conspiratorial quotes in the headline because I think, in the fullness of time, we will find out that Blumenthal wasn't used to corroborate Steele's dossier, but that Steele was used to (fake) corroborate Blumenthal's dossier.

I suspect the dossier was inspired by Blumenthal, and farmed out to FusionGPS. Melissa Mackenzie, AmSpec, Hillary Clinton’s Dossier - Hildabeast strikes again!

All paths lead back to Hillary Clinton. And all paths that lead to her, lead to President Obama who presided over the executive branch that was using FBI, CIA, and DOJ power to use the FISC court to investigate her political rivals.

Twitchy, Swamp status? STILL FULL! Trump critic John Weaver registers as a foreign agent to lobby on behalf of…wait for it…Russia. It ain't illegal, but it sure stinks.
