Here are my observations and opinions from my selected news of the day.
NO POLITICAL BIAS – To quote Sen. Lindsay Graham, that’s “crap.” I’m not going to sugar coat it, even though DOJ IG Michael Horowitz did within the content of his report.
Horowitz stated in his report that he “did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the FBI’s decision” to begin surveilling (spying on) the Trump campaign.
I would like to know that if the texts exchanged between Lisa Page and Peter Strozk are not considered documentary evidence of their political bias against Trump while favoring Hillary in 2016 what are they?
And those documents are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to proving bias. Horowitz was lauded for finding an e-mail (a document) from the CIA, doctored by the FBI lawyer Clinesmith that would have cleared Carter Page and the Trump campaign. And how about the three-time renewal of the FISA warrant (documents), knowing the support for it wasn’t credible.
OBAMA KNEW WHAT HIS FBI WAS UP TO – I have reported here before that Lisa Page, in a September 2, 2016 text to Peter Strozk, said. “potus (President of the United States) wants to know everything we’re doing” following a meeting she attended to discuss talking points for FBI Director James Comey to brief the president (Obama) on their investigation.
The previous month, Obama said, “I do not talk to the attorney general … (and the) FBI directors about pending investigations. I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI – not just in this case, but any case. Nobody gets treated differently when comes to the Justice Department.”
Now, with the Horowitz report, we have learned that Comey had, in fact, briefed Obama about the investigation into Trump’s campaign before the 2016 election, and that it was attended by the usual characters now of the Deep State – Susan Rice, James Clapper and John “The Liar” Brennan.
THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME from the investigation of U.S. Attorney John Durham, who revealed that he did not agree with key findings by the Horowitz report. Durham has a broader scope that is not limited to existing DOJ and FBI officials. Durham can subpoena former employees of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSC.
A MUST SEE – Fox News Channel has been carrying clips of an interview Attorney General Bill Barr did with Pete Williams of NBC News. I highly recommend that you CLICK HERE to see the 24-minute interview. About halfway through the piece, Barr reiterates the Trump campaign “was clearly spied upon.”
TIME PICKS A LOSER as its Person of the Year. Are you ready for this? Greta Thunberg. That’s right. On December 8, 2019, I wrote of her appearance at the Madrid UN climate meeting in which she proclaimed her school climate strikes “achieved nothing,” and suggested she was backing off her effort when she said, “we’ll be watching you.”
Meanwhile, the magazine ignored the brave souls of Hong Kong and Tehran who are protesting for causes that are actually achievable.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, who is unfairly referred to as a bigot, has with the help of the Senate, successfully placed an openly gay federal prosecutor – Patrick Bumatay – on the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, making him the highest-ranking openly gay judge in the country. He did it over the opposition of Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris.
MY LAUGH-0F-THE-DAY – Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, known for her salacious text messages with her lover, FBI Agent Peter Strozk, is alleging that the government’s release of those messages constitutes a breach of the Federal Privacy Act. In her 39-page complaint, Page cites a “permanent loss of earning capacity due to reputational damage” and “the cost of therapy to cope with unwanted national media exposure and harassment” at the hands of President Trump. Oh, poor baby.
How about the lives she has affected over the last three years, beginning with the president, and including Carter Page, George Papadopolous, Gen. Mike Flynn, and numerous lesser-known individuals?
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
