Are you ready? No rest for the weary! MOAR coffee after a knockout MAGA Rally in PA last night (thank you to all who contributed). Make sure to take your Winnimins this morning. We still have more testimony in the House today and BREXIT votes tomorrow!!!!!!!! How does Flep keep up?
Today is the day Horowitz testifies in the Senate Judiciary Committee with Lindsey Graham presiding. This will be a great chance for us at QTree, and the public in general, to compare and contrast Nadler in the House, with how Senator Graham runs a Judiciary Committee.
We might need to reference the OIG Report during the testimony today, here is the link: https://www.justice.gov/storage/120919-examination.pdf
Let’s take a look at who is on the Judiciary Committee to get an idea of what to expect.
- Republicans
- Lindsey Graham – Ranking Chair
- Chuck Grassley – Pro Tempore member of the Senate- Papa is VERY angry with James Comey.
- John Cornyn-Texas (Beto is NOT running against him)
- Mike Lee-Utah (brilliant, but recent love affair with tech companies)
- Ted Cruz – Texas (can’t wait – he overperforms in this setting)
- Ben Sasse – Nebraska (meh)
- Josh Hawley- Missouri (rising star)
- Thom Tillis – North Carolina (recently had his “Come to Jesus moment”)
- Joni Ernst – Iowa (fickle, concubine for the US Chamber of Commerce)
- Mike Crapo – Idaho (also Chair of Foreign Affairs Comm – watch him)
- John Kennedy (The Oxford Scholar with the razor wit)
- Marsha Blackburn (perennial favorite)
- The Democrats
- Diane Feinstein – Minority Chair (too old but guided by powerful staff)
- Patrick Leahy – Vermont (Fed Judge Beryl Howell, the one who wore Mao uniforms to Congress, was his staffer who helped write the Patriot Act – she was the one who ruled Trump Admin to turn over the Grand Jury testimony to Nadler, immediately overruled)
- Dick Durbin, Illinois
- Sheldon Whitehouse, CT, (TDS is strong with this one, expect fireworks)
- Amy Klobuchar, MN (running for President and lagging in polls)
- Chris Koons, Delaware (loves Biden, misses Jeff Flake)
- Dick Blumenthal, CT (deeply involved in Ukraine fiasco, taken money, watch him for cues)
- Maizo Hirono, Hawaii (hasn’t been in press lately, misses the spotlight)
- Cory Booker, NJ (running for Senator and needs to fundraise, expect drama unrelated to subject matter but for effect)
- Kamala Harris (running for VEEP stakes)
It would be foolish for us to ignore the Bill Barr interviews from yesterday, in the context of Horowitz Testimony today. Seems as though Bill Barr put his thumb on the scale and gave the Republicans a magical blueprint for testimony today. Let’s see if they take heed.
Here are the interviews, one more time:
Note how Barr talks specifically about the timeline, and how the investigations continued into the Presidency of Trump under a false premise. Barr explicitly states these investigations should have never gone forward, and probably should have never started (flimsy, a suggestion of a suggestion from a 28yr old campaign volunteer in a bar – when everyone in the WORLD was talking about who had Hillary’s emails). Barr eviscerates Brennan and Comey. He defends the President and leaves his interviewers ……………. shocked and blubbering.
While Barr and Durham, plot and plan the rollout, grooming their proverbial “staches”……
The Dems are once again………..
They can’t beat this guy……… OUR GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD MORNING Miss Daughn! That was an eye popping, foot stomping, hollering good Rally Thread last night!
Hope you got some sleep!
Thanks Ms. Daughn……I view this hearing in just touch different fashion this morning…..The IG will testify to his report….(Remember……All IG’s only deal with issues within their own department. Horowitz=DOJ. So Horowitz will answer questions today based on his report, and his report only.)
The “measure” if you will of today’s hearing, at least to me, and I realize I’ve been doing this longer than most; but……..will be how each Committee Member handles him-herself…..(Lindsey Graham, is as Guilty of some things to come out in the future, yes I have records/pics/film/etc.) of which while will not be addressed by Judiciary today….because Ms.Nancy has been using “Gotta wait for the IG Report” as his excuse to only bring Judges before the committee, this whole year..
Today’s committee will finally hopefully get this IG Report thing out of the way.
I have read the entire IG Report, w/letter from Barr & Durham….and watched those Barr films yesterday.
Barr has confirmed now in a public forum, what I read in the IG Report, even with the normal bureaucratic-fluff
that I am used to reading from anyone in DC.
AND that dear friends……is the TRUTH, and I have been documenting for 15 years. Now, this is just the beginning of the clean-up….but we must start somewhere….
Thanks for offering your well-researched facts and POV, Big Mama Tea!
Welcome……I was pleasantly surprised…..I wait to verify, before I trust.
Wish I did! Hate it when I get taken in by faux conservative tweets, etc.
Just imagine….you…are President Trump……and you think you know, that you cannot trust anyone or anything….until it can be verified by YOU. That’s how I look at it.
Imma thinking he will have vetted people a long time ago. Also found their strengths and weaknesses and any skeletons. This presidency os no spur of the moment thing and he knew exactly what he was up against
Oh, there’s been some surprises…Hence….personnel changes
Not really, I don’t think. Potus is used to subcontracting.get the right guy for a job and when it’s finished , it’s finished.plus, and this is big, any member of his admin is going to be targeted by the deep state. This means families and friends at risk. But to get close to eavesdrop they have to Aquire adjoining properties, their kids have to go to school with the targets kids etc etc. lots of assets to get into place and then POOF. Weeks or months of hard work down the drain
Big Momma Tea!!!!!!! Glad you joined us, like having the wise sage matriarch along, while we take off our training wheels.
Thank you!
YW….LOL! is that an “old” joke? HA!!!!!
missed your sense of humor.
how have you been, since…???
Most excellent….I’ve missed you too!!!! I wish whatever was, well, you know……
I actually meant Patrick. it’s gotta be hard in your position not to become so attached to people..don’t know how you do it. I hope you found peace and comfort Mama!!!!
Yep. I have….learned that stuff many, many years ago.
you are a special lady Mama!
Hey Mama..hope you are well.
I good….except for this Hearing…LOL! oh well, part of the process.
Just an appetizer. The main course comes later.
Oh you ain’t just whistling dixie there Sir!!! Based on listening to AGBarr last night……he read my research……
Nice to see you here Mama Tea!
DORA!!!!!! I’ve been here all along…..well, haven’t commented much…been at Marica’s seeing phc through to the end.
Howdy friend!!!! I’m on my reader, and I have both blogs connected so I can see youse guise comments to me, and can respond to you at Wolfie’s while also at Maricas.
Wow! You sound like one busy lady. 🙂
Thanks Daughn, will be working in the house today guess I will turn the t.v. on and see if any fireworks go off.
I truly believe this shameful display by the democrats will be there demise. More people are waking up everyday to the realizationt that the majority of the politicians are crooks. Then again we’ve always know that but could never prove it, hopefully that’s about to change. The rats are scurrying !
One more thought, this is truly a battle of good verse evil. Ex. 23:1-3,7-8
There is now a KEY DIFFERENCE….
Americans have ALWAYS thought our politicians were for sale…
January 26, 2012 Rasmussen Reports
35% Say Congressman or Governor Can Be Bought for $10,000 or Less
THAT DIFFERENCE is we are finding out it is OUR TAX MONEY LAUNDERED THROUGH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS that is doing the buying!
Thank you, Daughn! Reporting for duty, in between baking bread and household chores.
I missed the rally last night, but watched some highlights.
It will less of a free for all in the Senate, which may get boring. Getting used to the crazy theatrics in the House. 😁
That will be good. It shows the DemonRats as crazed toddlers vs the Republicans as mature adults.
I agree with the former not sure about the latter. I could do without a bunch of the Rs.
Imma hoping name are being taken
I’m going to keep in mind that the whole show is about deflecting us from the goal of getting PT out of office so the commie-globalists can continue to exploit the taxpayer and destroy our Republic.
It’s that simple.
The impeachment crap is to keep us busy fighting the ungodly amount of lies they are using to obscure their ultimate goal.
Gma-inTX…..I call the M’peach show…..the Treason trap. I do so hope NuttyNan brings her two Articles of M’peach to a vote on the Floor. (If she does, leadership will have just committed treason)
The whole thing is so flipping out there I can hardly believe it is happening. 😬
We are definitely living in historical times!!!! LOL!!!
Ha, ha…GREAT meme!
Will any senator ask IG Horowitz why the word “Comey” was misspelled 140+ times in the searchable text of the report in question?
I’ve thought this over since Monday night, and reconsidered Wolfmoon’s comment about it on the report thread then.
I get his point that the report drafts were probably kept in some editable format, online only, without any ready ability to print them, or to copy-and-paste text to another document format. This was done to make them as leak-proof as possible.
Then, for final publication, an anti-aliased raster image was generated, and the searchable text was created separately. (Perhaps via Wolfmoon’s initial idea, optical character recognition (OCR) from the anti-aliased, visual text.)
When we look at the web version, or look at a document converted from it in a reader app, this anti-aliased raster image is what we actually see. In this format, ‘m’ is ‘m’, and “Comey” is “Comey”.
But when we hit the search button, this version is inappropriate for searching, so the search falls back to hitting the simple text version of the document, which by some clever, automatic process is aligned spatially with the raster image, but normally invisible.
In this version of the document, the FBI’s notorious ex-Director’s surname is spelled “Corney” almost 150 times, and correctly nowhere. (That’s “CoRNey”, but with lowercase ‘r’ and ‘n’ together resembling an ‘m’.)
After reading most of Monday’s comments on Daughn’s report thread, I did more research, and found that words like “concern” with the same lowercase “RN” pair are spelled correctly in the searchable text, and perfectly findable.
Names like “McCabe”, “Brennan”, and “Strzok” are spelled correctly, and perfectly findable, whereas nonsense such as “departRNent” (“department”) and “meRNber” or “RNeRNber” (“member”) are nowhere to be found.
The correctly spelled versions of these nonsense words each occur many times in the report. In fact, much more often than does “CoRNey”, without a single confusion of lowercase “RN” for ‘M’.
Words containing “coMe”, like “become”, “income”, and so forth, occur a total of 57 times. But “coRNe” only occurs in the 148 instances of “CoRNey” (i.e. James).
In the other direction, “attoRNey”, with the same “oRNe” letter combination as “CoRNey”, is extremely common, whereas “attoMey” returns “no match”.
I often read optimistic theories, news items, and anecdotes from Wolf, Flep, Brian Cates, Praying Medic, etc., and tend to take them, initially, with a grain of salt, until more evidence is available. In fact, I was aware of Q for about 6 months before I even considered it to be a real source.
But, in the case of Horowitz’s FISA abuse report, I will go out on a branch and say that the 148 CoRNey misspellings in searchable text are deliberate, and, unless I miss my guess, premeditated.
I believe Wolfmoon’s initial “OCR error” hypothesis is sufficiently credible to have provided the true cause with PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.
And I believe that true cause is a person or persons in the DOJ OIG who are familiar with Q tropes and who wanted to send an encouraging word to us — and a discouraging word to one James 8. CoRNey.
Oh, and I almost forgot…
There is one other example with a letter combination of lowercase “RN” that is correctly spelled in the FISA report.
That example is a single instance, that found its way into a footnote on page 340, of the word “popcorn”.
So, as the FISA abuse case plays out, I think we should munch ours, as we enjoy the show…
You’re kidding? Cova, it’s time for us to start looking over our shoulder.
No accident.
Is that an oblique reference to corn pop?
I didn’t intend it as such. 😃
What the OIG meant by it, I am less certain. 🙃
Nice dig! Thanks!
Alright, let’s hope this is less like watching paint dry than the House version.
I’m thinking this is going to be pretty good. Gosh, I hope so.
I’ve been down for the count for two-four days. Laundry already started. So, I’ll try to keep up.
Yeah, are you getting better? Been watching the comments about you being sick. Dep, how is your voice? You’re the quarterback and this is superbowl season!
The voice is fine, thanks. Today, I’m a lot less congested. I just have to keep up with the neti pot and, um, VapoRub. Put it on to go to bed last night and 15 minutes of coughing up crap. It actually works.
It’s on CSPAN3, starting now.
Live streaming on Fox.
Eww, Miss Lindsey’s in a mood!! Where’s CovaD with that armed Bear picture?? 🤪🤪
Yeah, that’s just it. The team that did the coup was hand picked by McCabe, and he landed at CNN.
Any of them employed by CNN…fake news…talk about a den of vipers.
Trump never briefed. Interesting.
Well, not really.
What the heck is Feinstein going to ask? I mean, how in the heck can she open her mouth?
Oh, wait, these people have no shame.
No shame because no conscience.
Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. Puff balls. Actually bringing in Dianne Feintstein to exonerate her right from the start. UGH!!!!
When Lindsey says “defraud the FISA Court” he MEANS it.
J. Edgar Hoover come back to life.
So, how many of the Crossfire Hurricane folks are cross-dressers?
What’s the take away from McChrytstal debacle: don’t go to a bar with a Rolling Stone reporter.
Ha!
Wait, they actually thought this was a rerun of Watergate?
Talk about delusional.
[giggles]
https://twitter.com/M2Madness/status/1204781961950175237
I’m still trying to find it. Gheez.
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!
As if the Rolling Stones wannabes were in on the French Revolution.
Okay I’m in.
“All these smelly people elected him.”
Ha. Every now and then Miss Lindsey puts out a good one.
Lindsey is doing a good job so far
No Carter Page is definitely NOT James Bond.
Foreign policy team of Trump was “picked up off the street”? Gee thanks, Lindsey.
I bet Lindsey is life of the party when he’s had a few drinks….
If he plays piano, absolutely.
I bet you are right on that
AND IT’S A BUNCH OF CRAP (the dossier)
Well, Lindsey, tell us how you really feel. LOL.
Did not know Lindsay got the dossier from McCain and read it!!!
Lindsey is telling a great story here about how absurd it all is.
Carter Page was dragged through the mud, working FOR/WITH our government, and Clinesmith lied about it, said Page had no connection, which was vital to getting the warrant.
Now onto Steele and tearing Steele apart.
New word: SUBSOURCE
Thank you, Senator. Primary subsource who provided info.
NoName lied to Miss Lindsey! His assistant Kramer went and got the dossier months before December 2016. Kramer also gave it to Buzzfeed. BFF’s??? Yeah, right, Missy is either soooo gullible or has devised a nice little cover story to CYA.
Betrayal. Figures.
Graham throwing bombs…one right after another.
Nice story. Compelling.
Miss Lindsay has teeth. I’ve got nothing against gays but they do vengeance that would make the cartels Blanche……over a slight
Imagine that!!
MSNBC was covering it but LEFT PROGRAMMING when Lindsey was going on about how bad it was.
Said they would come back when Horowitz was starting to speak.
Despicable
It’s true, Steele only had ONE SOURCE – page 186-190, Steele misstated or exaggerated what was told to him.
Thing about the pee incident at Ritz Carlton was overheard at a bar, never confirmed by Ritz Carlton employee.
Overheard at a BAR!!!!!!!
Smeared the President of the USA.
This ONE SOURCE was interviewed by FBI in January of 2017, and told the whole dossier was a bunch of crap.
But did the FBI reveal it to the court?
No
FBI said the original source for the dossier was “truthful and cooperative”
OMG – the media has gone on for YEARS saying “unverifiable” dossier when the FBI knew for YEARS the whole thing was crap.
They wanted to protect all of us smelly people from Donald Trump.
Man, Lindsey’s on fire today.
“I have serious concerns about whether the FISA process can continue without major reforms at a time when we have real threats out there that we should be able to monitor” Lindsey Graham 12/11/19
Yes, how was the FISA court supposed to know they were lied to?
Looks Horowitz gave the men a bone just as Mueller did .
Horowitz claiming that there was no political bias is a farce. The system is sick.
Did I has trouble carrying the heavy report around and can’t see the small print….🙄 WTH??
DiFi not Did I
She’s getting old. Oh, wait, she already is…and the medical interventions aren’t working as effectively as they once did.
She’s been under a lot of stress for a while now. In fact ever since the peasants revolted
If the print had been larger, the report would have been even heavier.
Ok Feinstein is talking. I’m going back to reading about the Yankees’ free agent signing.
EFF OFF, Diane!
Why oh why is that woman not in jail?
It’s happening more slowly than with Pelosi, but Madam Feinstein is aging badly. Notice how she labors over her allocution. Those words should just flow with no effort. She’s having to be very careful with her speech.
Maybe she’s being given the words to speak?
Kind of “say this, nudge, nudge, nudge” like what happened with the human carbuncle Nadler yesterday?
She was reading her statement. It should trip off the tongue more quickly and clearly than that.
You wouldn’t speak well if you could see the later dot aimed at you. The one attached to a very big rifle
Russia’s sweeping and systemic attack on our electoral process??????
WTF, Diane?
PROVE IT!
She’s trying to justify the investigation.
FBI had sufficient cause, all unanimous, no official objected to opening the investigation.
OMG – now she is lambasting Bill Barr – I think it’s time to move on.
She says Barr and Trump admin are “politically motivated”
😊😊😊
oops, sorry wrong thread…still yummy tho 😋
had to do something productive while ignoring Commie DiFi
Isn’t there a pic of Bloomie with Ghislaine Maxwell floating about?
Seems he likes young blood too, as it were…
Horwitz now talking.
million documents, 170 interviews, 434 page report.
Read it please.
Pithy exec summary, 19 pages.

OMG, we won WW2 in shorter amount of time.
https://twitter.com/X22Report/status/1204792448666480640
Good to know. 😂
And in a new scene, tentatively titled “Driving Ms. Crazy”,
[DS] confirms there is no [DF]…
Interesting question no one has asked.
https://twitter.com/Vitalintegrity/status/1204735575359668225
Here we go, suggestion of a suggestion in a bar, George Popadopoulis to Downer.
FBI takes this as “PROOF of foreknowledge of the Wiki drop on DNC hacking”
Barr thinks that’s just silly.
And
Bill Priestap made the decision to open the investigation.
Where the heck is he?
He’s the one with a wealthy wife.
Decision made after several days
found no bias to open investigation
low threshold to open investigation (there is no threshold, practically speaking)
a discretionary judgement left open to the FBI
Did not notify supervisors until days after the investigation was opened.
Horowitz is covering for the FBI sorry this s a farce and I hope Republicans expos the truth.
I can agree with this.
I’m having trouble listening to this right now. I apologize to the House.
Opening the investigation was allowed because there are practically no rules to open an investigation.
It’s easy, therefore the FBI didn’t do anything legally wrong.
Exactly. Garbage in, garbage out as long as policy is followed.
It’s important that that’s being revealed, then.
that’s a BIG SCARY DEAL!
they can wreck your life over NOTHING
Pat and the FBI has wrecked lives. What is the difference of FBI and KGB ?
the KGB has prettier women?
None if comparing zero’s FIB…
but I bow to Pat’s reply… much better !
If Carter Page was CIA, we need an answer from Brennan.
Was Carter Page “run at” the Trump campaign as the hook to surviel, and then used for the FISA warrant.
Daughn, I have been saying for MONTHS that he was a plant, and why.
Elizabeth Carter pages with sourcing. People need to know.
Look here: http://politicalprognosticator.politics.blog/2019/10/05/paul-sperry-is-right-trump-was-set-up-and-spied-on
and here:http://politicalprognosticator.politics.blog/2019/06/07/spies-lies-and-more-spies
And here http://politicalprognosticator.politics.blog/2019/04/24/i-have-it-figured-out-folks
And MANY more on my blog and in my book.
I encourage everyone to read these. While I might have been wrong on Flynn not having a FISA because of Kislyiak, I was right on the rest, and I even think it will come out that Cohen too DID have some sort of Surveillance, because he was IN the dossier in the first place, and that is THE predicate for this ALL.
I am actually debating taking the “hit” and posting my book…I am THAT determined for people to know. If I do, and it will take some encouragement I only ask that people SHARE it. I am debating…what say you all. It is
That has been my thought for years now. Remember Carter Page “spent five years in the navy and served as a Marine intelligence officer in the western Sahara…. fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations…”
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/02/03/carter-page-nunes-memo-216934
Notice how politico LEAVES OUT the important part and so you are left thinking Page is an Elmer Fudd playing games with the Russians. They mention the FBI bugging of the Russians but they NEGLECT TO SAY WHO DID THE ACTUAL BUGING!
This despite the information being available:
from: https://powderedwigsociety.com/carter-page-fbi/
Trump working with Russia ——– is completely destroyed here
Undoing the damage that narrative produced is going to be an uphill climb, IMO.
Dep, you’re spot on.
Yes, and CNN and MSNBC are conveniently not covering it
The entire chain of command was referred for examination on conduct
WOWWWWw
No one who touched this vindicated………
OMG. WoW!
ZeroHedge just included that in their headline on this matter… see below
‘Although we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence of intentional misconduct, We also did not receive satisfactory explanations for any of the errors we identified.’
Lindsey: “So when Comey speaks, you should listen to Horowitz instead.” In other words, there WERE major problems. This is good.
Yes, use Comey’s own statements against him!!!
No clear record of what Director and Deputy Director were told. I can believe that.
Although…Comey kept detailed notes, so…maybe they were in his office when it was raided?
January 2017 – my GOD, they knew before he was inaugurated.
Can the President sue the FBI? DOJ?
This is awful!!!!!!!!!!!
McCabe handpicked the staffers.
Lindsey: Are these are best and brightest?
Not so.
I’m getting the feeling that deals have been made…Lindsay, Diane…and now we will see who doesn’t have a deal.
Horowitz just blew away Feinstein’s assertions.
Picky point on my part, but what is with the answering questions by starting with a So…… and then the explanation.
Modern cadence. It will disappear a la how valley girl talk did.
Fer shure, fer shure… gack. I-405 and San Ferdu… ‘SC was full of them… until they flunked out…
Grody to the max, cool, awesome, rad….
Moonunit Zappa has a great vid out, “Valley Girl”. Like, gag me with a spoon… etc. VG talk is something I REALLY don’t miss, along with disco… (that’s the way, uh-huh uh-huh I HATE IT uh-huh uh-huh)…
LOL!!!
This is CrAZYYYYY!
They completely smeared Carter Page to make him seem like the CIA didn’t know him at all.
When he was a source for CIA.
Unreal.
Lindsey is doing well.
“Lindsey is doing well.”
Yes. This is devastating.
I believe this is what Jeff at the marketplace and a few other citizen journalists have been saying for a very long time now.
“I hope somebody pays a price for this, whether you like Trump or not”
Foundation for surveillance COLLAPSED. In JANUARY of 2017. INAUGURATION
Horowitz has no real authority here to determine motives or legality.
Horowitz is smiling.
He knows exactly what Lindsey is saying.
Was Carter page treated fairly by the FBI/DOJ FISA process.
H – uses a hundred words to say NO
Well, they have to start somewhere.
In the most nondescript, nonpartisan way, Horowitz is blowing up the DoJ and the FBI and all the people involved in Crossfire Hurricane.
Graham and Horowitz claim Russians screwing around with the DNC, hacking.
No contention.
A mountain of misconduct.
Who are they trying to protect?
You’re supposed to be protecting the election process and the people of the USA
Did they brief the Hillary campaign?
H – does not know
Did they brief the Trump campaign
NO
If they’re opening a counter intel investigation to protect the election process, but they didn’t notify the Trump campaign.
OMG they did a 302, sent a counter intel agent, of Crossfire Hurricane, and did a 302 on TRUMP and FLYNN in the defensive briefing of August of 2016.
This is awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“If this stuff doesn’t bother you, then you hate Trump WAY too much”
Was that agent, sent in to the August briefing, was a pretext,…. was he spying on Trump?
He was sent in to give the briefing but also spying on Trump and Flynn at same time.
With no legal foundation
No legal foundation to keep spying on someone ————- they did it.
L: Is that spying? H:It’s Illegal surveillance
I know, right?
Was Carter Page ever an agent of Russia
H- uses a hundred words to say NO
Lindsey – we have an enormous task at hand, make sure it never happens again, and save the FISA process if we can.
I don’t want to save FISA! It’s flat out un-American…No more secret courts with secret rules and laws…I am not willing to sacrifice my liberty for more gov’t provided security.
I opposed it before it ever was CREATED … fought tooth and nail against passage. Didn’t take a rocket scientist to see where it COULD go… and it DID GO THERE… not just any ordinary citizen, but a citizen THINKING about running for office, then same citizen running for office, becoming the nominee for a political party for the highest office in the land, then the President-Elect of the USA, then the sitting PRESIDENT of the USA…
If they can do that to Donald J. Trump, they can do it to ANYONE and however many they choose!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all his faults, Graham’s questioning of Horowitz is brilliant in its simplicity. Great interview.
In a previous life he was a successful trial attorney. Air Force JAG as a defense attorney and more. Those skills just don’t disappear.
He pulled out an easy-to-understand story from Horowitz.
Feinstein
You determined the FBI had an adequate predicate.
FFG is friendly foreign government —- it’s Australia and it’s Downer.
To say there is an adequate predicate is misleading – there is almost no real requirement for Priestap to open an investigation – he can do it on a whim, effectively.
Feinstein trying to stress, no confidential source installed in the Trump camp
No discovery of Deep State conspiracy
She’s doing everything she can to back up media narrative.
NO bias found, etc.
Incredibly misleading.
Fein(d)stein (Slimestein) has been crooked since the days she was Mayor of San Francisco… maybe all the dope fumes floating around SF back then addled her brain… along with her rich hubby Richard Blum, somewhat notorious himself (follow the spouses)…
Does anyone think Priestap turned right at the start, or perhaps was working with White Hats?
If he wasn’t a plant by the Trump planners, he flipped REALLY early on.
I’m thinking that, too.
I think OT posited that theory back in the “good old days”…
Went over there yesterday and the comments were exceedingly demoralizing, just like controlled opposition.
Don’t know how you can do it; haven’t looked in months… like I said on another thread, it seems like SD is more DS than SD anymore…SaD…
Like Grandpa tells me, “It’s good to know what people are up to.”
He is invisible and untouchable. I’d say well protected
Now, Feinstein is going after Bill Barr.
I was surprised by Barr’s statement
H – met with Durham and advised him
H- – Durham did not agree with opening of investigation
H- is such a bureaucrat he makes our eyes glaze over.
F- Did either Barr or Durham present any evidence to you which altered your opinion
H – no
His reply about Barr or Durham presenting evidence was pretty nuanced I thought. It was like he was avoiding saying he’d been told there was information that could not be discussed because of on going investigations, grand jury, etc.
That is how I interpreted it.
WHY would they present evidence to be used in an indictment? They would NOT.
Of course not.
He can only report on his area of oversight. That excludes cia, other entities
F – H Authored the Whistleblower statute
F – H – should the WB confidentiality be revealed?
H – no
H – any politically motivated investigation undermines the rule of law.
OMG H is cozy with Feinstein. He is clearly a Dem – look at his body language.
and his ease of answering questions
Layup questions
like they have practiced
this testimony
I can’t tolerate her mealy mouthed double speak after watching Lindsey’s direct, clear line of questioning
Wut?????
Concerning the authority to open an investigation
Understand
A line supervisory agent could open an investigation into a Presidential campaign.
They better F’n FIX THAT SHIT!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Horowitz’s response to Feinstein tells us why we should be wary of what twitter stars assert is the truth..when they actually don’t know.
Feinstein trying to attack the President for outside influence in the investigative process.
Feinstein trying to defend Lisa Page here and attack President Trump
Feinstein pushing no political bias no evidence whatsoever.
H – agrees
The political bias in text messages between Strzok and Page did not play a role in Bill Preistep’s decision to open the investigation……….. this is a highly misleading point.
Does not mean there was no bias among Strzok and Page.
It means their bias did not influence Preistep’s decision
He was not in the text message chain.
lack of deductive reasoning in her questions. All inferential.
It looks to me like they are beginning to circle around who they want to go down. Trying to save the FBI and CIA, yet get the bad guys. Priestap chess piece is safe.
The mission stands on the edge of a knife, though. I think unless there is a complete cleanout of the top tier (including prosecutions) then we are toast. We are basically trying to get rid of commies and globalists who have completely infiltrated our government, along with a bunch of just plain greedy jerks. I don’t know how it is going to work.
The commie/globalist infiltration began looong before recent administrations. Its presence has certainly facilitated the evil plots which came to a head in the 2016 election cycle.
Yep!
Remember that Truman said he was sorry he created what became the CIA (mises and zerohedge, among others, have articles on that)… there’s a Garrison cartoon with a progressively larger dog eventually becoming “the owner” and the owner becoming the dog…
Anything built up CAN be taken back down however (no matter what i-Fixit says), even if it takes time, patience, and special techniques…
So that we are all clear
FBI did not install a SPY in the Trump camp
They did run “Confidential Human Sources” who were wired to record members of the trump team.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTT
according to FBI definitions, the CHS are permitted under FBI policy whereas “spies” are not.
They’re doing the same thing
SPYING
This is why the FBI and MSM keep arguing over terminology.
Horowitz proclaims his skepticism about the CHS activity of the FBI.
https://twitter.com/MikayesFiona/status/1204801739683172352?s=20
they can call themselves whatever they want to circumvent the stigma of spying, but it’s still spying.
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” or…a paper mill by any other name would still raise a stink
Leahy
Stresses only 7 pages of the Mueller doc are related to Carter Page.
“but I’m not trying to minimize the mistake of the FBI”
He’s trying to justify the Mueller investigation
He’s also trying to sneak in “no evidence of any meddling from Ukraine”
Unreal.
No evidence of bias in the INITIATION OF THE INVESTIGATION
because Preistep is the one who make the decision and he was not on the text exchange
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than saying there was no bias at FBI.
See the difference?
We do not know WHAT information was fed to Preistep BY Strzok and what type of claims Strzok made about that information.
Preistep could be completely clean, in fact if I recall correctly he was a NEWBIE so actually out of the loop.
SO he was brought in at the beginning of 2016.
Aren’t we supposed to have gavel banging by now?? LOL
Lindsey’s waiting for an actual strike to swing at.
I hope it goes over the fence when he does swing
Why are they trying so hard to discredit the TRUTH of a Deep State?
That horse left the barn several chans ago.
Doing a favor for MSNBC and CNN – I mean…….. that’s the story.
Grassley – gosh all these people are really looking old.
Grassley – Has anyone been prosecutued
No one that I know of
G – Did Obama know
H – not that I know of, only had FBI purview
did he interview Obama to ASK?
not that he’d get the truth, but…
H – was not allowed to interview Obama.
thanks!
That’s because they are getting old. These people have been in politics for decades.
At first, FBI claims Steele was a primary source
Then, they claim he wasn’t
Woods procedure required justification
No justification in the file
THEY LIED
If anyone in legal was doing their job, they would have noticed the change.
FBI never asked if Steele was source of Isikoff news article in yahoo.
They never asked Steele, despite having opportunity.
More censorship “glitches” in play.
grassley – on the defensive briefing to Trump campaign by FBI
Were they treated differently?
Yes – same briefing but intel agent wrote it up as investigative purposes.
G – is this normal?
H- it was documented in one (T) and not the other (Hillary) he deflects and talks about current Director Wray saying this should not have happened
On Flynn – stated purpose for Strzok being present in the Flynn interview was for intel agent to be present and observe Flynn
Clear guidance….how about the CONSTITUION OF THE UNITED STATES?????
Grassley – how many people in FBI knew Fusion was working for DNC
H – page 258 forward many people knew, Dep Director levels knew — at Justice very few people knew, Ohr was passing info to FBI directly
but FBI was NOT passing info back to DOJ
therefore, people at DOJ did not know the source for intel was from their colleague Bruce Ohr.
Sounds like criminal conspiracy to me. With the intent to defraud the FISA courts…
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/horowitz-trips-comeys-victory-lap-nobody-vindicated-who-touched-fisa
“I think the activities we found here don’t vindicate anybody who touched this FISA…”
Leahy…talk about a fossil. He’s been around forever.
Some of these people need to be put out to pasture.
Glue factory for the dems
Horowitz – 797 IG Reports under his purview
How many times has the Atty General disagreed with you
H – none
Leahy – instead, he went to the television cameras
leahy – and you found pro trump text messages
(I’ve seen one that they found)
being stressed
Rudy Giuliani again…connects to Comey reopening the Hillary Clinton email thing in October 2016 via links.
So now twitter is blocking videos from playing…FutherMuckers!! 🤬🤬🤬
https://twitter.com/michaelbeatty3/status/1204803671172603904?s=20
Click it a couple of times, and it plays.
Ooooooooo, this is interesting
Leahy talking about the leak from SDNY to Rudy Giuliani about the Weiner laptop
How interesting
Hmmmmmmmm
Still ongoing investigation
Proving to be very hard to prove the communication between the two
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
This is painful.
Do the Dems realize that not just their performance in the show is destroying them, but the reality that their Senators are so blasted old, they can’t even be clearly understood when speaking into a sound system. These people (Leahy and Feinstein) are simply too old to be there.
And they aren’t up for re-election, either.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/10/politics/senate-2020-map-election-congress/index.html
Good observation.
Like anyone believes Feinstein’s hair color is still black.
I earned my gray streak. And Big T looks handsome now that he has salt and pepper in his hair.
Tell him he needs to point the shakers downwards 🙂
I go see my hair guy to cover up the ones with no pigment. Otherwise, still brown with a tinge of red.
Thank you, Daughn for providing threads, adding great info (loved your rundown on Judiciary Cmte) and working tirelessly to bring us live updates (and all you others willing to watch the bastards).
Stay healthy, everybody!!!! We need you all in Fighting Form 💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a lot of admiration for all of you who can type quickly with composed thoughts.
me too!!!!
I’m giggling.
Mom was fierce on a typewriter – 120wpm easily and always made good money with her skill.
She was convinced I needed to learn to type, cuz that was a woman’s job.
She gave me her old powder blue Smith Corona typewriter, and I learned to type……….. during the Watergate hearings.
No kidding.
I’m a 35 wpm!!! LOL!!!
you’re 34 wpm above me…LOL
You’re awesome MQ!! I can go fairly quickly on iPad with the assist of auto complete, but on a laptop?? Fuhgettaboutit!! 😜
My Mom was so fast she had to slow down or the keys would get tangled. (Well over 120 WPM too)
I resisted learning to type. I sure wish I had listened to Mom and taken typing.
Strange, because I somehow, casually mentioned, I knew how to type, A&P Grocery stores (first cashier job at 15) decided to teach me a 10 key adding machine.
SUPER valuable skill I still use today. Thanks mom!
We send our kids to Junior College in summer before High School to learn how to type. This came handy in College when others struggled to write papers with two fingers. My daughter send her daughter for typing also before High School even though it was a far drive.
Typewriter layout was changed because with the original keys coming up to hit the paper though the ribbon very fast typewriters would jam different letters together. It was redesigned to SLOW them down
Yep. Learning on a manual (those were the days) I think makes for better and faster typists. And the IBM Selectric helped, too… indestructible (although I tried – there wasn’t any intent, though 🙂 )….
Some laptop keyboards, though….yuck… no decent feedback at all… oddly enough, gamers are influencing keyswitches in a positive way (as opposed to the games themselves)…
I’ve found I have to retrain a bit every time I get a new keyboard.
Yep. Then again there’s things like French or Dutch or even UK keyboards… I used to travel around Europe, and US keyboards were kinda rare… AZERTY drove me up the wall… (Ironically I have one, because my son needed one for French classes, and “escaping” the various characters or remapping the keyboard just didn’t work)…
Kind of like driving a stick shift or a new/different bike… (worst thing – reverse with no lockout…lookout) looks familiar, but still not the same…
I taught myself. For my business class in HS, parents encouraged everything BUT typing. Now that I’m in the real world 30 years give or take, I think typing and short hand should be freshman level classes and required.
Anybody remember Shorthand??
My Mom was so adept at it that we couldn’t even read her normal handwriting!
There were classes for shorthand and programming BASIC at my HS. I took the BASIC class.
I took BASIC and accounting. I HATE accounting.
My mom, wicked when it came to shorthand.
Wish I would have learned.
I picked up a few words without realizing it and incorporated them into my note-taking.
Fast forward a couple decades.
I got a message from a vendor in China….. who could not understand my handwriting.
I stopped then and thought.
Yeah, those Navajo code talkers had the right idea.
Use a hidden language.
My husband takes mind mapping it is fast and beautiful and I have no clue what the notes are about.
He bought me a book how to do it but I never devoted time to learn t because it never spoke to me.
I used to be a shorthand savant.
Biggest takeaway from this morning.
Horowitz is claiming Preistep did not have bias when he opened CrossFire Hurricane, and there is practically no threshold for him to open an investigation. He could do it on a whim. (being corrected by Wray)
Preistep was NOT in the text message chain with Strzok and Page and their bias.
See the difference?
Horowitz is NOT CLAIMING there was no political bias at FBI.
I get it, but mindless media see your explanation as too wordy–and only uses the last 5 words.
Exactly.
And that’s what half the country hears.
Preistep was brought in Dec 21 2015 so he was NOT ‘In the loop’ This gave him ‘plausible deniability’. He would have been fed the information from below and would NOT be directly involved in gathering or verifying the information.
Timing is interesting.
Fall guy
Miss Chrissy on Fox justifying that NO BIAS 💩💩💩, AS IF the criminals we’re going to admit that to Horrowitz?!?!? SMDH
At least McCarthy’s not buying it…..
And theeey’re back! Cornyn up.
Cornyn ———– Was it spying
H – I’m going to stick to the terms we use at FBI
Cornyn – You don’t like the vernacular
It’s freakin’ spying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can call it a damn mailbox if you want to but it’s spying.
spying..by any other name is….still spying.
Cornyn is talking about the intel briefing in August, to also set up Flynn for further interviews. (Which they did)
Now talking about Mike Flynn
Page 352 — the agent prepared himself going through MOCK BRIEFINGS wit Page Strzok
OMG – total setup
I bet Sydney powell is laying in the middle of the floor.
Complete vindication of Flynn
Flynn was a target, not told he was a target
not told of his Miranda rights.
Nothing
Flynn may not have been told he was a target, but you can bet your best foundation garment he knew he was.
And played the part of a rube to perfection
Cornyn, – why can’t we see this as an attempt to bait the president with providing incriminating evidence against himself
H – Well, I suppose you could see it that way
Are you guys seeing this??????????
Holy smokes.
I believe Horowitz is a disgrace, and at best he’ll enjoy those cocktail party invites, but he’ll never have the respect or regard that upholding and PROTECTING the Constitution would have afforded him.
Dick Durbin
Anyone think it’s odd we have two Dicks on the dems side?
Dick Durbin and Dick Blumenthal.
Of course, I’m not inferring anything…….. no disrespect intended…. no, of course not.
Gort, sniggle, 😂😂😂
Actually a lot more than two, but their ariguments would/will never stand up in court…
I …… no, I can’t say that.
LOL
😁🤗😎
They all dicks , even the “women”
Dick Durbin cautioning the public to be careful what we wish for.
Goes back to recall the Comey announcement of re-opening of Hillary investigation was serious and detrimental to her election.
If we make it public – it becomes a problem.
Durbin is here conflating WARNING THE CAMPAIGN, with a public statement that the campaign is under suspicion of working with a bunch of russians.
It’s two different things.
And if we really wanted to preserve the sanctity of an election process, then the FBI should have said something to the campaign……….. if they REALLLLLLLLLLLLLy expected the Russians were interfering in any significant way.
THAT fact, remains unproven, as far as I am concerned.
Interesting,
Horowitz will not talk about “ongoing Ukraine matters”
Hmmmmm
indicates an investigation.
Typical, Durbin ($h^tH0le Senator) focusing on Rudy.👿👿👿 Rudy had nothing to do with FISA abuse!!
They’re afraid of Rudy. Why is a good question.
Because he’s the Rico dragon slaying nightmare for them. That nice old man would give Hannibal the cannibal the shivers
The dossier had not impact on the initiation of the investigation.
They did not have it at that point
(bull crap – they had parts of it)
MSM will seize on this point and spin it.
WATCH
Graham
Has anyone been charged for working with the Russian who was part of the Trump campaign
H – Not that I know of.
Mike Lee is up
Glorious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those who claim this report exonerates the FBI are crazy.
Yet stunningly, James Comey, takes to the Wa Post for an editorial which claims the report claims he was legal and good.
What report is he reading. Stunning he would come to that conclusion.
Scathing indictment of the FBI and those involved.
Supposed to be utmost professionals
Understood to be good.
The behavior outlined in your report is so negligent and reckless it calls into question the legitimacy of the entire FISA program
Tis REALLY pushes us over the edge.
The report concludes, did not provide documentary or testimonial evidence of bias
yet we have “serious performance failures ” for which “there was no satisfactory explanation”
Which is what Comey seized upon.
This is what comey considers protecting the American people.
The people should be terrified by this report.
Hand picked staff on Crossfire Hurricane.
Presidential campaign
supposed to be the best of the best
highest character and professionalism, committed to protecting American civil liberties.
We cannot be secure unless our privacy is secure.
Why are the Dems trying over and over again to link Comey with Giuliani, and are denigrating him if Comey is one of them?
Just an outlier question, but it happens with Comey from not just Congress, but people like John Podesta.
Two choices
1. The used the powers of government to wage war on a political opponent
or
2. They too incompetent and still waged war on a rival political opponent.
not sure which one is worse.
THEY GOT CAUGHT
They made their bias clear, and went after him.
I believe it’s long standing abuse of FISA
not treemendous surprise
Madison in Federalist 61 – we are not angels and we don’t have angels to govern us.
Need Substantive limitations like the 4th amendment to restrict the government.
FISA teams up with Leahy, believes these programs are prone to abuse.
Surprises me that it took this long for an official to get caught.
Render all other citizens ineligible to review their work.
It will happen
It will never NOT happen.
Scares me to death.
We have a winner!!!
Lee: Your lack of evidence is not evidence that there is no bias?
H: Correct
Lee – Goes to decision to open investigation
Poses the question……….. what about LACK OF EVIDENCE, is that not bias?
H – goes to lack of satisfactory explanation, gross incompetence, I had no ability to reach a conclusion.
Does NOT conclude there is no bias, I only had what I had.
Sheldon Whitehouse —- counters, but Mr. H, you did make a conclusion on the bias, failure of manager and supervisors, you do make a finding, a failure of management and supervision, and line people,
You did make a finding that it was no DeepState conspiracy or bias.
H —- Failure is from top to bottom.
Oh boy!
https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1204828025122099207?s=20
Whitehouse – Did Durham have access to the report as you went
No – did not give it to him, he was not on the list
he got in November, mid November
Are you familiar with what he is undertaking
Durham notes he does not agree
What info do you think he has
H – I have no idea
Wray’s letter – We provided all info to the OIG, timely manner, authorized purpose for the investigation
Whitehouse is trying to imagine……… where does the evidence exist that Durham could have access that we don’t knkow about
HEY WHITEHOUSE ______________ call the CIA!!!!!!!!!!!
They’re sooo scared. All of em trying to get info on what Durham, Rudy/Ukraine are doing.
it’s delicious, isn’t it? what info does Durham have????? giggle…
Whitehouse i struggling to explain that H had enough evidence to reach a conclusion about predication, and that MORE evidence would not change H’ conclusion.
Well, that’s just stupid logic.
Of course new evidence could change a conclusion.
Whitehouse – more like Wet Horse…. just an idiot, as evidenced by his effusions about Gore-Bull warming…
Whitehouse – At the time of the briefing, what info did the FBI have as to how FAR the Russians had penetrated the Trump campaign
OMG – it never penetrated the Trump campaign
WH – did they know about the Trump Tower meeting?
They had investigations into Carter Page and Flynn
WH is trying to justify the FBI being really scared about the Trump camp and the spying they MIGHT have been doing…….. when they were not doing anything at all.
Was it appropriate for FBI to be there.
Yes
For intel purposes? Led to a big debate among FBI professionals and they did not notify the DOJ.
H – raises serious policy questions.
H – for the purposes of protecting campaigns and allowing transfer of power.
Sheldon’s logic is tortured.
Because there might come a time, hypothetically, where something happens in a defensive briefing with new administration, where a potential FBI official might notice something ………… fishy.
Wet Horse is desperately trying to establish a predicate that just isn’t there. He belongs on a third-rated detective show… maybe he’ll end up in one on NetFlix… hmmm. NetFakes…
Page 341
Mr Baker at FBI told IG, the agent in the investigative briefing was not there to induce anyone to say anything or illicit a response.
Ted Cruz
here we go
Stunning indictment of the FBI/DOJ of abuse of power
have many honorable professionals
Makes me angry
we expect law enforcement to be non-biased.
Press has focused on your finding of non-bias
much more here and we should focus on more
Graham interrupts
G to H – do you agree H?
H – My job is to report and you can debate, I agree. Dear lord, he is a swamp guy.
Cruz
Deeply troubling
17 errors, not typos, big stuff
Steele Dossier – FISC was not informed of bogus nature
January March and May the PRIMARY “subsource” for Steele was interviewed by FBI
Steele misstated and exaggerated, particularly the sexual stuff, were comments made over beers
Dear Heaven, I think about all the crap the media laid on Melania, assuming her husband was in a Ritz Carlton with a bunch of Russian hookers peeing on a bed.
It was all bullshit.
AND THE FBI KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
had to get dinner in the Crock Pot. Will catch up.
Cruz now talking about Klinesmith altering email to fraudulently make it appear that Carter Page was not a friend of the government.
He was a source for CIA
changed email to claim he was unknown and NOT A SOURCE
Was it an intentional effort to deceive the court?
We turned it over to the DOJ for referral.
Cruz, most effective oppo research in history.
Whole thing funded by DNC.
Ohr’s wife worked for Fusion GPS, feeding info into the FBI, without telling a single person at DOJ he was working against Trump.
This is what the fake media is doing right now.
Whole narrative of the past three years just blew up in smoke.
Horowitz is outright lying, IMO.
So they didn’t send spies into the campaign, but they sent confidential human source to go and record people involved in Trump camp, both before and after they were involved in campaign, and recorded high level trump officials who were not subject of the investigation.
And NO ONE AT DOJ knew about it.
Not Jason Bourne, this is Beavis and Butthead.
Not jason Bourne, it’s Beavis and Butthead. Ted Cruz at his finest.
Cruz: THis wasn’t Jason Bourne, this was Beavis and BUtthead!!😂😂
Who is this wet banket?
Klobuchar
Important to tell the men and women of the FBI that there are people up here (on the Hill) that there are people who understand you were merely doing your job.
Unanimous that Russia invaded our democracy
4 girls in Alabama????
WTF?
Quoting Dan Coats – we like him, Russia has been emboldened to do this again
Not Ukraine
It was Russia
Referencing Fiona Hill
Anyone repeating the lie it was Ukraine is peddling Russian propaganda.
Whoa is she way off.
Now she wants to take action.
More money to secure elections – paper ballots (can we have voter ID??????????? )
Honest Ads Act – wants paid political ads to be monitored??????
What?
why do dems think throwing money at issues solves them?
Because after the Dimms rake off their share . . . and then get their kickbacks, too . . . all their concerns just vanish. See? Issue solved!
I keep forgetting about that pre-resolution consulting fee they charge…lol
Yep. The DEMONicRATS create a “problem”, which generates money for them as a side-effect, then yells, lies, and screams for a “solution”, paid for (again) by our ever-dwindling money, which, after the problem is miraculously solved (with ever-growing maintenance fees), mysteriously returns an ever.increasing slush fund to the DEMONicRATS who created the (non) problem in the first place.
Prine example: the Gorel-Bull warming scam, aka CAGW, Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming, which is keeping St. Greta the (greenmail) Greenhearted fed, clothed, warmed, and worshipped by the Sheeple of the Church of GAIA… Snippy Longstocking indeed… (sorry, just frazzled about rates going up yet again, thanks to the likes of her and her ilk)…
OOoooooooooo juicy tidbit
Klobuchar questions whether Russia interfered.
H responds – no, we referenced Mueller’s report
BUT Mueller report blindly accepts the Joint Assessment report which relied upon Crowdstrike, who was forced to retract their foundational premise in May of 2017.
I can’t imagine having to endure four years of Klobuchar’s voice.
Yep. Seems like this guy (H/T Harry Lime) had to listen to her 😮
Alrighty… while we are paused waiting for Horowitz to return, here’s something to think about. (or NOT, as you like)
Full moon tomorrow, the last one of the year… on 12/12 at 12:12 a.m. ET (That’s tonight)

Morning sun brings heat.
Full moon coming.
Undiscovered stars learned.
Missions forward.
Q
Line after “Morning Sun brings heat’
“Full moon coming”
From the Farmer’s Almanac:
” The next full moon will occur on December 12th at 12:12 AM ET, and is known as the Cold Moon or Long Nights Moon. This full moon is distinctive for its high trajectory across the sky, causing it to sit above the horizon for a longer period of time.”
December is 12th month… so we have: 12/12 at 12:12 am ET … that’s 4 12’s. 4×12 = 48 and 4+8 = 12
I don’t know if KEW is pointing to anything, but I’m marking my calendar for 12/12 !
I read indictments are usually unsealed on Thursday in the us. It is Thursday here
Klobuchar asks H a pointed question about Manafort, and gets the answer she wants.
MSM will twist this to validate Manafort conviction but does not absolve Mueller conviction of Manafort.
H – loves Whistleblowers and wants them all protected.
This is a love fest
Looks strange and rehearsed.
Easy give and take, H gives quick and easy answers to Dems and Repubs have to pull his teeth.
Are they looking for auditions at the Hallmark Channel?
Klobuchar is effectively repeating what Biased FBI people have claimed about urgency to open an investigation and commit necessary resources to “run to ground” what was going on.
THEN asks H if he agrees with the statement of Barr?
Shame on her.
Graham interupts
People wearing a wire talked to Popadop
H – freaks out because “wire” requires a warrant, and they could do anything they wanted wit supervisory approval.
Popadop, when questioned, talking to someone wearing a wire, who he DID NOT KNOW was wearing a wire, said the following:
No, we don’t want to work with Russia cuz that would be treason!

Ben Sasse
Going after Bruce Ohr, who basically oversees all the law enforcement agencies in America.
This is good.
Went back after Chris Steele.
Went to original source. learned Steele was lying and exaggerating
Steele was cut off because FBI learned Steele went to Mother Jones (David Corn)
Bruce Ohr, who had no responsibility in this area, decided to insert himself
And who is his wife?????????????????
Nellie!!!!!!
Hmmm. David Corn.
Corney.
Comey + Corn?
Cornfused… interesting how the TLAs are using media for sources to what THEY should be investigating. Mockingbird is making birds, but the canaries are dying left and right… And Swallowell isn’t helping any…
The organizational firewalls are becoming obvious. Preistap has plausible deniability from McCabe, Baker, and the Xfire team, Bruce Ohr provides plausible deniability to the DOJ and higher ups.
Remember Steele asking Ohr if the “firewalls” will hold?
What the hell is all the GREAT DESIRE to keep the FISC going?
Is this signaling to our enemies abroad?
Sasse reveals he has had long standing argument with security hawk Mike Lee,
Sasse admits he has claimed something like this could NEVER happen at the FBI in the FISC
and here we are.
He talks about the high approval rating of FISC 98%
But, as Sasse says, that’s because of the high level of professionalism of the FBI attys
But they were NOT
Sasse says, Russia is clunky in their attempts
China is far more sophisticated
If the FBI is this bad, we have REAL problems.
If this is what happens, probably the second or third most important investigation of the FBI, and this kind of incompetence is so prevalent……. then what the heck happens during a normal FISA process.
Sasse is sounding alarm. He’s right.
So many errors on three separate hand–picked teams, where they KNEW their behavior would be scrutinized.
I was surprisingly impressed with Sasse. He WAS a fool to argue w/Lee that this couldn’t happen. There’s a humongous problem with 97% of DC voting for and contributing to Dems. All those DEM bureaucrats ARE political, it’s their way of life. Everything they do is DEM tainted, how can Repubs ever trust them, especially now in this climate?? How do we resolve this?? Move them? Swap them out??
BIG HEADLINE
OIG has instituted a whole audit of HOW the FBI/DOJ handles FISA warrants and further definition of Woods Procedure.
Because of SYSTEMIC FAILURE of FISA procedure.
And more on the Defensive Briefing – more guidelines and rules – not cool what they did to trump team.
Audit of all FISAs + + +
Coons is up.
Did you find anything which disagrees with russia hacking the DNC.
They had nothing to do with that investigation
Coons – unprecedented and broad attack……..
“Russia if you’re listening……….. ” back to Trump inferring that “JOKE” was an invitation.
Bill Preistep approved opening the investigation.
Did you find any evidence motivated by bias? NO
He was not part of the email chain.
Did your investigation find any evidence that President Obama ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower
No
He’s wording the question correctly.
Who appointed Director Wray – Trump
And did he agree with everything you wrote – he did.
Coons questioning of H on matters which he did not review at all…….. and H’s response of “NO” is designed to get it on video.
This is the sole purpose of the Media.
To feed the narrative that Trump is crazy to claim his wires were tapped at Trump Tower.
To feed the narrative that Trump is LYING when he claims the FBI was biased.
Etc.
It’s a pure propaganda word game.
On the live stream, Fox is not zeroing in on the Senators on the Repub side. At least not at the moment.
Ari’s tweet is part of a THREAD – click on it

Steele only had one source, who had hearsay stories……………..and Steele exaggerated and lied about that hearsay ——- and the FBI knew it.
And Steeles source was Russian. Russians fed false information to to a political FBI informant, that the FBI ran with. In Jan. 2016, the FBI knew the information was false. When was the counterintelligence in
…investigation opened into the FBI xfire hurricane group?
Sorry Jan 2017 not 2016.
Hawley – congratulates the DNC who pays for the dossier, who then gets FBI to investigate the opposing camp.
That’s who I thought it was. The live feed has yet to put his face on the screen. Young guy in his first year not known to the nation, and they don’t want him to be, either.
And Blumenthal gets a zoom in in real time.
Unbelievable.
Well, he is one of the “Richards”…
STOLEN VALOR Bloomy…. yet…. STILL a SINator?
Guess he is ANOTHER “respect the uniform” plant/
oh Goody, another Dick. 🥴
We have your back, you fellow travelers with us!
Blumenthal is relying on Mueller? Wasn’t that sent to the firepit for kindling some time ago?
Oh pleez pleez agree with me that Barr is a horrible human being and attacking you and your staff!!
More or less.
Blumenthal is all for the media
Any evidence that FBI tapped phones at Trump Tower? No
Any evidence that FBI entrapped anyone on the Trump team? NO
Because the FBI calls it “confidential human sources” and they’re allowed to do it with supervisory approval, whereas a wiretap requires a separate warrant.
And a SPY requires DOJ approval, which they did not seek nor get.
All semantics.
MSM gets to deny and call Trump and his supporters crazy for their assumptions because we don’t use bad words….
We call it “mailbox” or “confidential human source” when we spy on someone……….. ILLEGALLY to get around the 4th amendment.
This was obviously rehearsed somewhere along the line, and I’m telling you, none of the Democrats will ever be mistaken for a Barrymore.

Hmm…a little off topic, but just looked at the list of U.S. Senators. 26 of them are 70 or older. At least five are on this committee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_United_States_senators
Leahy was almost incoherent. Why won’t these people retire? Because they desire power.
Yeah, Fox isn’t showing Republican faces. It’s being noticed in the live feed comments.
FOX is now the enemy of the people, joining the other MSM. Hope we have Paul Ryan on criminal corruption…
If the Page/Strzok text messages weren’t evidence of Political Bias then WTF WOULD BE????? F’n SCREAMING HERE!!!🤬🤬🤬
I mean, seriously, what kind of lovers are these that the sweet nothings whispered are all about a presidential election. Did they turn on C-SPAN when they were alone in a hotel room?
Something is wacko with the idea of those two as lovers.
Thought that for a while, but Page just admitted it last week. They’re both pretty whacko, remember the demon’s testimony?? I wanna know more about the Strzok restraining order POTUS talked about last night.😜
They can be.
Horowitz’s finding only concluded Preistep was not biased in his decision to OPEN the investigation.
Horowitz just said he found no biased in the FISA process.
We could argue that one.
If he wasn’t looking for it, he’s not going to find it. I get the idea he wasn’t looking for it.
Perhaps Horowitz has rec’d death threats?
Technically, it is not his job. He’s just looking for laws being broken and procedures not being followed.
He’s being asked his OPINION over and over, by the DIMs. And he is stating an opinion contrary to not only Barr and Durham, but to POTUS and millions of Americans, including myself … either he is being threatened OR he’s incompetent OR
……….. I can’t think of another reason.
He was only looking for Idiots that would Confess….
No Confessions….. therefore….. it didn’t happen according to the IG.
Why do we have an IG again?
They’re supposed to be non-partisan ombudsman of sorts to investigate internal matters.
He may have “investigated”….
But he is woefully deficient with his “Conclusions”.
I still believe that Horowitz is lying because he references “their” regarding the FISC warrants – and his entire assignment was to investigate the FBI/DOJ and their FISC warrant. It’s not just about Priestap, and his opening the investigation. It’s about those FISC warrants.
Of course not, you coward.
Tillis is good.
NOT a lawyer.
Clear communicator!
Ooh, Maisie. Let’s see if she gets a close-up…. Not yet.
Both she and Heels Up make me 🤮🤢🤮
I don’t like Yoko oh-no……
But I like Her Oh-No even less
Scratch that…. I Do NOT Like Her Oh-No at all!

And since Carrier pigeons are extinct, then . . . ?
Smoke signals?
String and a tin can — it would work!
Definitely not notes folded a la seventh grade “envelopes” to be passed during study hall.
Extinct ???…
The wild stock the domestic stock was bred from is extinct.
Is she done yet? Come on, I need to change the wash.

Easier for the MSM to pick the best answers if they all ask the same question.
Fiona Hill again? Didn’t the House people send her back to her coffin?
“SPYING” – requires DOJ approval. “Confidential Human Source” only requires supervisory permission
“WIRETAP” – requires a warrant, but surveillance does not.
This is all about getting around the 4th amendment in a counter-intel investigation.
Sickening. Just sickening.
Interesting tidbit.
Horowitz is forbidden from examining any attorney in their professional capacity as a lawyer.
WUT???????
Pending legislation to address that point.
WTheck is an Inspector General to do if he cannot examine any lawyer?
The SYSTEM IS RIGGED.
It’s like Shiff-for-brains…..
Can LIE…. CHEAT….. STEAL without repercussions.
Being in CONgress, They Have “Immunity”.
(He appears to me to be Above the Law)
Joni Ernst is up – volume DOWN!!!!!!!!
Time to empty the dishwasher.
Well then, go Joni!
“For God’s sake, What’s going on at the FBI?”
“What’s going on at the FBI?”
They have CRIMES of the DEMONICrats to COVER for…..
And Republitards to FRAME!
Explained better here and in a different way.
Joni is mad because only one criminal referral. Bad actors and no criminal referral.
Horowitz rephrases what he said earlier.
Paraphrasing – “We took the whole report and referred it back to FBI/DOJ for decisions from line agents all the way to the top – the whole chain”
Bad behavior.
We could not determine motive (Bias) because the answers we received were unsatisfactory.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGG
Kamala is back from hell.
She needs to put the Crack Pipe down.
Seems like Horowitz talks out of one side of his mouth to the Dems and the other side to the Reps…..to either placate and/or to not take accountability.
Ahhhh, Kamala goes straight to undermining Trump and Barr.
WHAT did she just say????????
Kamala says Horowitz has the DUTY to investigate the conduct of the Atty General.
Undermining the Intel community
Shame on her.
And look at Harris and Horowitz………. Horowitz is loving the idea.
I’d like to know when does the President fire these IG inspectors?
Kamala says the IG has a duty to investigate AG Barr, intimating rthat Barr has been acting illegally. Despicable!
Kamala is pushing —- ANYTHING from Ukraine is BAD.
Stay away
Giuliani is bad.
If it could be perceived as good for the President, stay away from it.
She’s pushing an investigation into Bill Barr.
This is disgusting.
She is *that* prosecutor who would convict an innocent person to promote her career. Extremely dangerous for her to have power in our government.
I fear you’re right about that one.
Kamala is just spewing Dem talking points about Trump administration “misconduct” regarding Ukraine, etc. She states them as if they are fact.
She’s poking to see if any of the IG’s in other departments are investigating the President’s phone call “which was clearly for the purposes of the President’s reelection effort”.
She’s pushing.
Kamala is now pushing Sheldon Adelson who wanted legal online gambling and Trump liking the idea. Wants another investigation.
Sounds like the Dems have been requesting investigations into every move Barr and Rudy are making, real and imagined. She just said Barr met with Ukrainians. Barr just told us yesterday that he hasn’t touched or even thought about anything Ukraine. SHES A LIAR!!
Didn’t she just open the door for Biden and Ukraine to be bulldozed down!
Excellent cross from Senator Crapo
Not telling us there is no bias in the conduct of the teams.
Three teams, hand picked, going to the very top of the leadership in FBI.
Referred the cases, all of them, to the AG for determination
Horowitz minces words and indicates it would be highly improbable for all these mistakes to be made with NO BIAS.
Dem narrative of “no bias at FBI” is false.
I’ve liked this guy’s questions.
I think I saw some other names also in another tweet account..sneaky bastids
https://twitter.com/elenochle/status/1204616704560467969
Sooo Sorry..wrong thread. I’m a maroon today..
Bombshells like this belong everywhere I can find them 🙂
Thanks……………………………………….Corney… Obarna….Slick as cat chit.
Please don’t apologize. Comey versus CoRNey has us all fascinated.
Wasn’t it also David CORN —– who was the “journalist” for Mother Jones?
There is something to this:
Was Q teaching us how the DS cloaks their names from certain documents to possible get around FOIA requests? (Actual names are not “searchable” in the report)
After the Comey/Corney discovery (above) anons have now found:
Podesta/Poclesta and
Obama/Obarna

See Molly’s comment above.
July 5th to September 21 to get the Dossier from Steele to the Crossfire Hurricane Team. Introduced through Andy McCabe.
Who is this guy he thought he dropped acid reading the report regarding the “Misfire Hurricane Team.”
Kennedy? Who just said it’s easier to divorce your spouse than get fired from the FBI.
Kennedy just made me spew! drink on the keyboard!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Sorry, reading first 15% of report made him sick, after 25% of report he felt like he dropped acid…
He is by far THE MOST ENTERTAINING EVAH!!!
I got numbers wrong – you are correct.
Your’e correct, he’s only read 70% so far. He’s finding it really disgusting to get through the whole thing!!
Kennedy – about half way through – I wanted to throw up
about 70% of the way through, I thought I dropped acid.
Horowitz agrees.
Kennedy – how many people involved 6-12 on each team.3 teams.
I’m loving this.
Easier to divorce your spouse than get fired from FBI
Bruce Ohr is still there.
How long has this been knowledge in the FBI, RE: major league screw up
Evolved over time.
By end of August, they knew.
Does your report vindicate Comey, McCabe, Page (she’s a little different) – No
Who sent the agent to surveil Flynn at the meeting with Trump in the room – defensive briefing.
Circus without a tent. Lovin’ it.
How can all the 17 mistakes be made in one direction???
Chances are one in 131,072. I did the math.
Exactly!
“Horowitz just said – Hard to believe this could just be incompetence.”
____________
That was for the win… Horowitz just walked away with the Master of the Obvious career achievement award, lol!
Finally, someone asking “Do you think they would tell you if they were biased?” Of course those criminals would NOT!!
“Finally, someone asking “Do you think they would tell you if they were biased?” Of course those criminals would NOT!!”

Clapper might… he’s just clueless enough that it could happen. 😁
Blackburn: it’s the epitome of the swamp.
[snort]
Marsha Blackburn is using all the conservative buzz phrases. HA!
SWAMP!!!!!!!!!!!
Her line of questions just made a bunch of things go CLICK. She said it plainly. Why did it take this long for someone to PLAINLY say, Steele blew his cover so they went around FBI rules of re-engagement and used Bruce Ohr as a go-between.
Put all the money in and roll ’em again . . . yes son, you’re hot!
At a minimum, somebody’s gotta get fired…
Please God, give us some good news today or tonight. Amen.
you ever see the movie The Mexican with Brad Pitt? they talk about doing “their portions” in that movie…not worrying about the entire job to be done, just their portion of it. Horowitz is just doing his portion…he has no power to indict–only pass along referrals–he’s just doing his portion.
I get it, but it is infuriating. This kind of political manuvering is more than awful.
Aren’t we glad that Horowitz is the DOJ IG & doesn’t have Durham’s job?!
absolutely!
Operation Take Down Trump, and said in a Tennessee accent. Awesome, Mrs. Blackburn.
close my eyes and it’s my neighbor talking.
You know she is originally from Mississippi
I did not know that. Thank you for tidbit.
Her physical appearance is astonishingly similar to my neighbor.
If the two were in a crowded room, you would swear they were sisters……. and they sound identical.
Spooky.
Doppelgangers.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Hey! Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! 👀😵👁
They all WISH that all that was going to happen was for them to be fired…It will be MUCH worse than ONLY fired…I hope they like orange and are not claustrophobic…some had better not be allergic to HEMP or fresh cut wood.
Criminal Conspiracy to defraud the court
deny exculpatory evidence
they should have stopped – when Russian subsource said, everything in the Dossier I disavow
Poor Carter Page
Why they did it, you can make your own conclusion
NOT a counter intel investigation to protect Donald Trump
kept going and going
and not to protect Donald Trump
The reason the investigation was because people wanted to keep it going
They could give a damn about protecting Donald Trump
never briefed him, like they did Diane Feinstein and Hillary Clinton
I think I know what their motivation was but it doesn’t matter
To my Dem friends, i warn, this could happen to you one day
The power to open a counter intel investigation is almost unlimited
The power to abuse it, is exactly what your report tells us about
This is the beginning and not the end of this committees involvement in this matter.
I’m interested in finding out what that last line means.
Me too.
Bull Durham’s investigation
https://twitter.com/thebradfordfile/status/1204868090875564032?s=20
Thank you so much to all who contributed today!!!!!!!!!!!
Great thread!
Wow, I learned so much today. Lot of stuff I did not know.
Surprised and the repetition of Dem questions, and search for media talking points about unrelated matters to the IG report.
Stunned by the media NOT covering certain portions of today’s hearing because of “desire to maintain their narrative”?
Anything involved in Russia colluding with Trump is completely wrong and bogus….. from here on out.
Papadopoulos, “No, we don’t want to work with any Russians, that would be treason.”
Exculpatory information NOT introduced to the FISC – yet Popadop went to JAIL for lying to the FBI.
And finally,
It’s either gross incompetence at the top of the FBI or it’s intentional and a coup against a political opponent.
Thank you MQ!! 😘🥰💕
Yes ! Thank you so much Daughn !
One thing that didn’t get much attention today. Every case that Clinesmith touched is now subject to be reviewed and challenged. Could be a get out of jail free card for some, definitely grounds for many lawsuits.
LAWSUITS. Suits the hell out of FIB and DOJ.
Lots of intentional bad acts by FIB, DOJ, IC… Bastards need to go to jail AND lose whatever wealth they have. IF treason or sedition can be prosecuted, even better.
AND, I believe AG Barr and Durham WILL prosecute the criminals.
Thanks for the afternoon synopsis, especially. I had to be out this afternoon and was only able to hear portions, but man there’s some good stuff in there! This was the best use of “hearing time” we have seen in this whole mess. How much clearer it could all be if the IG didn’t mince words so well. No wonder the Demons are rushing schampeachment……this is damning and they KNOW it. Lindsey ran a good hearing today, can’t wait for the next round!!
I will take the latter for $100 please.
thanks to everyone who took another one for the team so many of us didn’t have to watch this stuff…my tv set and laptop thanks you!!!!
While one side of me is very happy that the FISA abuse is being exposed to a larger portion of America—something else disturbs me.
WHY??? Why did they do it??? Does anybody else see a false narrative being spun here? “Political bias?” my ass!
I know that Durham has a much larger scope, and he is likely to find much more than “political bias”. I am simply saying that we need to be careful to not let our friends and neighbors to become gas-lit—otherwise, the Swamp does not get drained.
We all know why they did it. Hillary even admitted it when she declared that if Trump wins—WE ALL HANG!
Maybe I am being too paranoid. I just do not want us to not see the forest for the trees.
They had to, cause Orange Man Bad!!
Follow the money. They have all been on the greatest gravy train the world has eve4 seen and so long as one of them was driving they were safe
Political bias to try to stay in power so they can maintain and grow their graft, bribery and pay for play so they can feed their unnatural pleasure tendencies.

Fucking brilliant trickery
So very true!
Who is this evil blonde bitch, lying her communist ass off in Orwellian fashion?
BEGONE, WITCH!
Whoops, wrong thread. I’m watching SHAMPEACHMENT.
Just switched over to watch…did I miss anybody good? Are Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz there??
Found them!! And Matt G is up now….
My wife turned it off! But I caught Doug Collins, and he was AWESOME. He was coming down so hard on the Dems, my wife thought he was against Trump, because only “those people” act that angry! 😀
Collins, Jordan, Gaetz, Nunes, Biggs, Stefanik….there are some good ones on our side and they FIGHT
You just described 2/3 of the dem women in Congress…I bet she is U G LY too and her eyes are bulging and her voice sounds like a cat being drug down a mountain gravel road.
Miley K. Cyrus…
Separated at, erm, berth… as in give her a wide berth…
LMAS…EXACTLY!
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DEMONICrat…..
This is interesting:
That’s an interesting definition for the word “treason”.
Agree, but sometimes it’s easier to get people indicted and convicted on “money” crimes than “treason” charges.
