TIME FOR A ‘NOTES” DUMP…. (My mouse is wonky and will not let me highlight without major effort so you get the whole file.  😈

Note the sly push for DeSantis in 2024 instead of Trump.

Townhall – Wikipedia
Townhall is an American politically conservative website, print magazine and radio news service. Previously published by The Heritage Foundation, it is now owned and operated by Salem Communications.

From Sundance:
Transparently Predictable Political Maneuverings Within MSM and Salem Communications…
September 3, 2015 

….Politics as an industry – Salem Communications [radio talk show (Hewitt), Red State (Erickson), now also Twitchy (Malkin), Hot Air (McCain), NRO, Townhall, Human Events, Bearing Arms etc.] has the same general ideological world view as Jeb Bush, George Will, Rupert Murdoch, Wall Street Journal, etc. UPDATE: As if on cue – Salem Communications, Via Hot Air, publishes a “compare and contrast” article pushing the GOPe Carly Fiorina – as savior angle. (SEE HERE) Salem Communications owns both Hot Air and Hugh Hewitt. See how they roll?

Shorter: “the betters”, the “elites”. Or those who feel superior enough to tell others what they should or must think. You’ll note these Salem groups rarely research, present raw data, or offer unfiltered information; it’s almost always Op-Ed.

We, the proud vulgarian team, without financial considerations to skew our perspectives and viewpoints, do not like the “financial media class” and the skewered perspectives that come with financial dependency. We are able to research, watch, describe and discuss through clear-eyed glasses. Hence, we can transmit the warning above.

Insider Reveals Salem Media Was Part of The Coordinated Gang-of-Eight Manipulation…

“…..This week a Salem Communications insider steps forth (via email) to affirm all of the previous reports, and add details specific to the instructions from Salem Broadcasting and Salem Communications group:

In 2014 (sorry, cannot recall the date), Salem Radio hosted a conference call with Senator Marco Rubio to address the Gang of Eight legislation and “set the record straight.” All national and local talk hosts were urged to take part. I am one of their local hosts, and what I heard that day was troubling.

Moderated by Hugh Hewitt, it began with Senator Rubio offering a brief explanation of the measure and why it was so very necessary. Then Hewitt opened the call to questions. There were only a few, and they were exclusively from higher-profile, national Salem personalities, like Mike Gallagher, Katie Pavlich, and Mark Davis. No local host was permitted a question. Following the Q & A, Senator Rubio was cut loose, and that’s when things got weird.

After Rubio departed, Hewitt introduced Salem V.P. Tom Tradup, who began by saying, “Thanks, Hugh. Now, here’s how I would like our talkers to be talking about this…” I exited the call in disgust at that point and have no idea what followed.
The effort by the GOPe to co-opt the so-called “conservative media” is real, and it’s widespread. It also makes me gag.

BEHIND THE ILLUSION; ELLEN DEGENERES

….But, as much as I hate to feed this beast, it’s a good opportunity to educate not just the arrogant, ignorant likes of Lassner and Tapper, but any lost sleeping souls who actually still listen to them. Did they come after me because I’m over the target? Are they trying to make a joke out of this because it’s true? You decide.

JAKE THE PUPPET MAN
I sometimes forget that there are people who still don’t know how Wikileaks revealed that Jake Tapper is a puppet of the power establishment. This is the same power establishment that started all our wars, rigged the election against Bernie Sanders, and still somehow managed to lose the technology to go to the moon. I may not have as much money as you, Tapper, but at least I don’t carry water for those dickheads.
“Tapper and DNC staff discussed in emails:
.
.
.
Hmmm, that doesn’t seem very fair and balanced, and it doesn’t remotely resemble journalism. Jake [Tapper], for his part, didn’t think he did anything wrong when the justifiable outrage ensued following the leaks.

In his defense, it’s been a while since we’ve had real journalism in America. Maybe he doesn’t even know what his job is supposed to be. Journalists aren’t supposed to collude with politicians. They aren’t supposed to get questions from the people they’re interviewing – that’s called PR sweetie.

It’s a matter of public record that since the early 50’s the media as we’ve known it has been a farce. Here are 50 facts every American should know about that. The most important connection to understand is that between the media and the C.I.A. (Jake, this next part’s for you).

The C.I.A and The Media
History lesson: After leaving the Washington Post, Carl Bernstein spent six months looking at the relationship between the CIA and the media. In his scathing 25,000-word cover story, published in 1977 in Rolling Stone, “The CIA and the Media,” Bernstein wrote that by 1953, CIA Director Allen Dulles already oversaw the vast majority of the American media network….

10 Ways to Protect Yourself From NLP Mind Control

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a method for controlling people’s minds that was invented by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970s, became popular in the psychoanalytic, occult and New Age worlds in the 1980s, and advertising, marketing and politics in the 1990s and 2000s. It’s become so interwoven with how people are communicated to and marketed at that its use is largely invisible

“There is no such a thing in America as an independent press, unless it is out in country towns. You are all slaves. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to express an honest opinion. If you expressed it, you would know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid $150 for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, I would be like Othello before twenty-four hours: my occupation would be gone. The man who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the street hunting for another job. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to villify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same — his salary. You know this, and I know it; and what foolery to be toasting an “Independent Press”! We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the string and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” — Speech made by NYT ex editor James J Swinton,……way back in 1883!

“You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. … You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, — to them — a very, very important statute and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down statutes to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think about Thomas Jefferson? Do you like him? Are we going to take down his statute? Because he was a major slave-owner. Now are we going to take down his statute? You’re changing history. You’re changing culture, and you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally — but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.” — President Trump remarks about Charlottesville, VA riots, August 15, 2017

“Chris loved sharing the stories of Southern California and connecting with our viewers,” said KTLA president-general manager Don Corsini and news director Jason Ball in a statement. “He will be remembered as a great journalist and a wonderful friend to many. He brought a kindness to his work and will be deeply missed by the entire KTLA family.”
“Burrous had been a regular on KTLA’s air since 2011. He was co-anchor of the weekend edition of “KTLA Morning News” and also served as a news correspondent for other KTLA telecasts. Burrous was recently part of the KTLA team that covered the state’s devastating wildfires last month and the mass shooting at Thousand Oaks’ Borderline Bar & Grill.”

I guess you never heard about CIA’s Operation Mockingbird from the 1950’s to 70’s (and still going today based on zero gov’t programs ever cancelled). CIA had over 400 assets in MSM. I guess they own entire media outlets, and put out a few stories here and there to help their cause. For example, NYT’s Maggie Haberman’s article yesterday discrediting Clinton Foundation hearing by Huber.

I seem to recall in my media classes that if a broadcast station knowingly promotes and disseminates false information…that would be considered a breach of the public trust and they could lose their FCC licenses. 

Both Erwin Rommel and Isoroku Yamamoto warned, “Don’t fight the Americans.”
(26) They both said the same thing:

“You think they’re soft and decadent, but you’re wrong. If you go to war against them, they’ll muster power you can’t conceive.”

The plan has morphed to an armed insurgency. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1028856399038570497.html
“We all know that the time is now, and there is no voting, there is no protesting that’s going to get them out. The only thing that’s going to get them out is us.And they need to be snatched and thrown the f*ck out.” — ANTIFA Thug who YOU SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE.

CNN advocating clearly for rioting and violence.
These people are sick.
Just in time for MIDTERMS. Same wuth bikelock ANTIFA getting off.
Something is being planned. Be alert!
Chris Cuomo announced Monday night that CNN will not condemn but instead justify political violence against anyone it defines as “bigots” — which, according to the network’s editorial tone over the past two years, signals open season on all Trump supporters for violent activists like Antifa and the Black Bloc.
To legitimize political violence, Cuomo said, “All punches are not equal morally… Drawing a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it, because they both resort to violence emboldens hate, legitimized hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out.”
This is a dramatic turning point for the far left. Not only is CNN offering moral cover for those who engage in political violence, but — thanks to the ever-widening definition of “hate” — CNN is also calling for the left’s political opponents to be “stamped out.”
This, of course, is anathema to the very heart of Martin Luther King’s civil rights movement, which was never about “stamping out” anything. Rather, it was about using peaceful protest and civil disobedience to change hearts and minds.
Cuomo continued: [emphasis added]
Two wrongs and what is right. The bigots are wrong to hit. Antifa or whomever — anarchists or malcontents or the misguided — they are also wrong to hit. But fighting hate is right. And in a clash between hate and those who oppose it, those who oppose it are on the side of right.”

The back lash from over reach has always been proportionate to how far off center it went before coming back … right now we’re staring at a whole hell of a lot of the country (about 80-90% of the land mass, as well as about 50+% of the population) that is FED UP.

Upton SInclair on the control of the media

“The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers… [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.” –Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785.

“Company managers responded by swiftly trying to shut down employees’ access to any documents that contained information about the China censorship project, according to Google insiders who witnessed the backlash.
“Everyone’s access to documents got turned off, and is being turned on [on a] document-by-document basis,” said one source. “There’s been total radio silence from leadership, which is making a lot of people upset and scared. … Our internal meme site and Google Plus are full of talk, and people are a.n.g.r.y.””

Second: build special “Choogle” search engine so that China can more effectively censor unsanctioned content, and oh if we could help keep track of our citizens while we’re at it, that would be gravy.
Congress needs to bring Google in for a chat on live T.V. First question: WTF is going on with Google? Second question: Why do you hate America? Third question: Why do you love China, besides money, of course? Fourth question: do Alphabet and Google executives approve of mass surveillance, extreme censorship measures, countries that perform illegal and unfair trade practices, stealing of intellectual property, and eating of dogs? etc. etc.

Today, tech giants Google / YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Stitcher and Facebook all simultaneously blacklisted Alex Jones and InfoWars. This coordinated, illegal censorship is clear proof of an organized criminal racket being conducted by the tech giants. The RICO Act allows for federal prosecution of such criminal conspiracy.
The internet Dark Ages has now descended upon us, where radical left-wing tech giants run by deranged, mentally ill communists will decide whether your content qualifies as “hate speech.” What is hate speech? It’s anything uttered by a conservative.
No due process, no appeal, no transparency of the evidence against you, no ability to present evidence in your defense, no means of recourse, nothing…
The tech giants alone now decide what speech is allowed on the internet (and what speech is banned).

A Martin Armstrong blog Post entitled, Inside Every Liberal is a Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out” is very apropos. 
Halkides explained like this:
The Progressive believes in precisely two things: his own magnificence and the constructive power of brute force. In combination, they lead him naturally from the role of pestiferous busybody to brutal dictator. Where the productive man dreams of the things he might create if only left alone by his fellows, the Progressive dreams of the world he could create if only the lives and property of his fellows were at his disposal. The roots of his pathology lie in that oldest and most destructive of all human vices, the desire for the power to rule over other men.
To give someone something to help them when they really need it actually makes you feel good inside. To be forced to turnover assets so someone else can claim to be charitable is not charity by any means – it is extortion. Even Hillary on the campaign trail remarked that Trump was worth several billions. “Think what we could do with that!” she exclaimed. It is always violating the Tenth Commandment – Thous shall not covert anything belonging to someone else. It seems God understood the totalitarian hiding inside every leftist and made it a violation of his 10 Commandments.

Beautiful quote from G.K. Chesterton, “The Tyranny of Bad Journalism”
“The point about the Press is that it is not what it is called. It is not the “popular Press”. It is not the public Press. It is not an organ of public opinion. It is a conspiracy of a very few millionaires, all sufficiently similar in type to agree on the limits of what this great nation (to which we belong) may know about itself and its friends and enemies.”
http://www.solemncharge.com/Library/chapter.aspx?key=GK-Chesterton-Utopia-of-Userers-The-Tyranny-of-Bad-Journalism
What is impressive here, at least for me, is that this was written at the beginning of the 20th century. The situation is exactly the same these days. These millionaires succeded in making most of us believe they merely write a mirror of reality. Incidentally, I’ve just realized the double meaning of the english word “press”. Is this a coincidence?
(The previous paragraph of the essay is also very nice, and actually prepares well the message:)
“It always takes a considerable time to see the simple and central fact about anything. All sorts of things have been said about the modern Press, especially the Yellow Press; that it is Jingo or Philistine or sensational or wrongly inquisitive or vulgar or indecent or trivial; but none of these have anything really to do with the point.”

Sorry, forgot CBS “News,” which I want to make sure to mention because it is headed by David Rhodes, the brother of Obama national security advisor and Iran appeasement architect Ben “Rat Face” Rhodes who holds a creative writing degree from NYU…

Media Matters writes the scripts for virtually every “outrage/SJW event” as well. They orchestrated the Dump Rush movement a few years back. It appeared to be 10s of Ks people, all spontaneous, actually was 10 people, all retired, mostly women, two retired teachers, at their computers working social and dirt bag media with Media Matters scripts and tactical guidance. Rush had them tracked down, has their names, addresses, phones and email addresses, all 10 of them.

Reporter Admits Most Media Work for CIA, MI6, Mossad 
“I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I’ve been educated to lie, to betray—and not to tell the truth to the public. . . . The German and American media [is trying] to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia. This is a point of no return, and I am going to stand up and say it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda.”
What is insidious, as Ulfkotte confesses, is that typically, intelligence agencies use “unofficial covers”—people working for the agency but not actually on its payroll as agents. It is a broad, loose network of “friends,” doing one another favors. Many are lead journalists from numerous countries. This informality provides plausible deniability for both sides, but it means an “unofficial cover,” as Ulfkotte became, is on his own if captured.

Then he came back and was a totally different Nap. And Rosen was let go, Eric Boling was let go and his son dies from overdose, each of them accused of sexual misconduct. Fox is neck deep in this along with all the other MSMs. Whatever they told Nap it must have been really bad to scare him so much.

Every morning at 4AM the Mocking Bird media receives an email from the deep state giving them all the talking points for that day.
This was intercepted by our white hats and Q directly addressed the msm saying to them ‘Hi msm how are the talking points coming along since you received again your email at 4AM telling you what to report? cali says: February 10, 2018 at 8:50 am 

The Congress doesn’t want to see punishment on leaking because elected officials and their staff members leak too. Schiff is an example. 
The press and the government have been co-mingling. We know or have known about it. It is a problem for National Security and someone needs to clean it up with laws. McCabe should never have happened. People should be excluded from government service if family members are big shots in the media like Ben Rhodes. It should be considered an opportunity to leak. Because that is what it is…..please, no more warm,fuzzy bedtime stories of “integrity” in our government. Integrity is just another ‘subjective’ term in Washington DC. This is what President Trump is dealing with because these people still have relationships with the Obama holdovers.

As Dennis Prager often says, the tactics of the left haven’t changed since the days of Lenin and Marx. Creating false realities, lie about those who oppose those false realities and try to delegitimize and eventually criminalize those who oppose the socialist/communist propoganda has been the lefts trademark for so long now. That it still works among so many is as amazing as it is sad.

There used to be 88 news media now there are six. These 6 all get their news from Reuters and the Associated Press. Reuters owns the AP.
Lists of the 6 http://www.rense.com/general90/media.htm

Notice that our ‘regular conservative media’ like Fox News and News Max are Clinton donors. <b>Controlled opposition anyone? </b>
<blockquote>Clinton Foundation donors include dozens of media organizations, individuals
NBC Universal, News Corporation, Turner Broadcasting and Thomson Reuters are among more than a dozen media organizations that have made charitable contributions to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, the foundation’s records show. 
The donations, which range from the low-thousands to the millions, provide a picture of the media industry’s ties to the Clinton Foundation at a time when one of its most notable personalities, George Stephanopoulos, is under scrutiny for not disclosing his own $75,000 contribution when reporting on the foundation. 
The list also includes mass media groups like Comcast, Time Warner and Viacom, as well a few notable individuals, including Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecom magnate and largest shareholder of The New York Times Company, and James Murdoch, the chief operating officer of 21st Century Fox. Both Slim and Murdoch have given between $1 million to $5 million, respectively.

Ya think there might be a little bias in the news?
Stephanopoulos did not disclose during this interview, and does not disclose during coverage of the 2016 election, that he worked in the White House as Senior Adviser to the President during Bill Clinton’s first term AND a Clinton foundation donor in addition 
Clinton’s close yet questionable ties to media outlets such as Google, CNN, PBS and The New York Times have seemed to pay off. These entities have gone out of their way to censor negative stories about Clinton, particularly ones involving the Clinton Foundation. There’s one common thread though these media outlets suppressing harmful Clinton stories all share: they’ve donated to the Clinton Foundation. http://observer.com/2016/08/media-orgs-donate-to-clinton-foundation-then-downplay-clinton-foundation-scandal/
Google staffers have had at least 427 meetings at the White House over course of Obama presidency. Mark Zuckerberg, (facebook) has also met with Obama. 
There are enough reports of Facebook not allowing certain titles, Twitter and Facebook manipulating ‘trending’ subjects, google putting sceptics to the back of the line in searches and other perception manipulation. 
Even worse with Brietbart supporting Trump, Hillary’s response is ..the website Breitbart News has no “right to exist,” and suggests that if elected, the website will be shut down entirely. 
….”We’ve had a conservative media in this country for a while,” says the email, sent Thursday and signed by deputy communications director Christina Reynolds. “I don’t always like what they have to say, but I respect their role and their right to exist Reynolds’ acknowledgment that the regular conservative media has a “right to exist,” … 
“Breitbart is something different,” she says. “They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. They’re a different breed altogether — not just conservative but radical, bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic conspiracy peddlers who never have been and never should be anywhere near the levers of power in this country.”….. 
There is also a video out there with Hillary saying the government has THE RIGHT to regulate our Enumerated Rights given in the Bill of Rights like the right of free speech, right of assembly, and right to bear arms turning them into government granted privileges. 
We already have ‘free speech zones,’ prosecutions for ‘Hate Speech’ and now the [attempted] shutting down of access to alternate media. 
The flip side is just as ugly. Notice that our ‘regular conservative media’ like Fox News and News Max are Clinton donors. Controlled opposition anyone?

CNN wants to equate Trump to Saddam? Pulease. Eason Jordan bent over backwards averting his eyes when Saddam tossed people in wood chippers. Remember Eason Jordan? He’s the guy that admitted CNN knew about Saddam’s atrocities but looked the other way for access. The closest thing to that in this election is the way the press averts its eyes when Hillary stumble-bums her way to her Ambulance. —- Just carrying on the proud tradition of Walter Duranty. 
“…political reporters, are just stupid rich kids. The parents have done well so they send their smart kid off to law school, while the dull one is sent off to journalism school. The result…is a culture dominated by.. nitwits too dumb to realize they are stupid.
..have fragile psyches so seeing their mistakes highlighted .. is a source of constant distress.
When you live in the snow globe of opinion journalism, the outside world is horrifying. That’s why you went into the snow globe in the first place, to get away from the cold, pitiless world of reality. .. those angry Dirt People.. with their facts and reason just don’t get it. Many of them don’t even have a PhD. They are ruining it for everyone!
..People in the media have long viewed themselves as the fourth estate, part of the ruling class, but policing the ruling class. This was always nonsense. The press has always been staffed by obsequious rumpswabs and toadies…so only the most blinkered and stupid thrive. Suddenly, these dullards are learning that the rest of us have no respect for them.”

On the face of it…it’s Bribery.
But the reality of it, is that they were acting as ‘paid political operatives’.
Then the leftist Networks themselves are acting like Political Action Groups, whose main directive is to spew propaganda through their programming and fake news shows.
So with that in mind…it’s like the payola from outside sources served as ‘bonuses’ for including & pushing the false narratives that fellow travelers had ordered up.
It’s all for the greater good, dontcha know.
And that must be achieved…’by any means necessary’.

Why is Obozo’s 2012/2013 NDAA /Smith Mundt “Modernization” allowed to stand? It legalizes the airing of propaganda within our National borders. 

The fourt estate is OWNED by the Fifth Column that is seeking to destroy personal liberity vorld wide via the destruction of the USA. Look at the EU where discusing or expressing THE TRUTH will land you in jail where you are then killed. — a roundabout death sentence.

Trump is trying to destroy the false meme that the MSM and the Euros keep bleating that the current status quo WRT trade is some sort of tariff free “free trade” nirvana and that Trump is going to mess it all up.
The hard truth is, of course, that ALL TRADE is micro-managed by thousands of tariffs, quotas, set asides, content rules, and other laws and regulations. What Trump is doing is simply reexamining some of these “deals” and calling them out as unfair to the US. The howling is all coming from those globalists who are currently milking the status quo trade cow.

Foreign Policy magazine was founded by Harvard professor Samuel Huntington, a one-time hawk, and his close friend, Warren Demian Manshel, a dove. The purpose and mission was to question commonplace views and groupthink and to give a voice to alternative views about American foreign policy. Huntington hoped it would be “serious but not scholarly, lively but not glib.”
In 2000, under the ownership of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, FP transitioned from a slim, quarterly journal to the glossy magazine it is today — while retaining its independent viewpoint and commitment to rigorous exploration of the world’s biggest issues.
As the world became more complex, its global audience rapidly grew. International editions were launched in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.

Whomever now offers to testify before Congress in exchange for use immunity either KNOWS or has EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE that they are among the targets of U.S. Attorney John Huber’s wide-ranging criminal investigation. They also know that arrests and criminal charges are imminent. 
That’s why the arrest last weekend of former Defense Intelligence Agency Ron Rockwell Hansen, as he was trying to flee the country, is so significant. Huber (yes, THAT John Huber) was front and center when the 41-page, 18-count felony complaint against Hansen was announced. Hansen is accused of acting as an unregistered foreign agent (spy) for, and providing classified documents to, the People’s Republic of China. 
This case may or may not be directly related to “Spy-Gate,” but Huber’s conspicuous involvement suggests that the Hansen indictment is the template for the criminal indictment of Hillary Clinton, and others, that we can expect to follow in the next stage this whole sordid affair. 
One need only substitute Hillary Clinton’s name in place of Ron Hansen, and combine all the evidence we’ve already seen to what the FBI must have found on the Abedin/Weiner laptop, to see where this is going. The Obama/Lynch/Comey/McCabe/Strzok/Page Clinton E-mail criminal (“call it a matter” investigation was a sham. The Huber investigation of Hillary Clinton’s criminal negligence and malfeasance in office, and the lengths to which the Obama Administration went to paper it over, is air-tight. 
And neither those charged, nor their sycophantic water carriers in the ene-media, will be able to CREDIBLY claim that these indictments constitute some sort of political vendetta by the Trump Administration against his political opponents in the Clinton and Obama camps. That’s because neither President Trump nor Attorney General Jeff Sessions will have been in any way involved, directly or indirectly, in overseeing and/or pursuing the case. 
Inspector General Michael Horowitz began his investigation in the waning days of the Obama Administration. At the time, Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon, praised the news: 
“This is highly encouraging and to be expected given Director Comey’s drastic deviation from Justice Department protocol,” Fallon said. “A probe of this sort, however long it takes to conduct, is utterly necessary in order to take the first step to restore the FBI’s reputation as a non-partisan institution.” 
Only AFTER IG Horowitz’s investigation began to uncover evidence of wrongdoing did Attorney General Sessions appoint U.S. Attorney Huber to open a CRIMINAL investigation. Huber and his 400+ person team necessarily would revist evidence in the underlying Clinton E-Mail “matter” as well as ALL the facts with respect to how the Obama White House, Justice Department, FBI, and various other individuals and entities handled it. 
President Trump and Attorney General Sessions won’t determine the outcome of the HOROWITZ and HUBER investigations. Only the EVIDENCE, or lack thereof, can do that. 
Meanwhile, Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed by Rod Rosenstein, but that investigation has been a snipe hunt from the get go, deployed to placate (and distract) Congressional Democrats and RINOs. The Mueller team ultimately will be obliged to absolve President Trump of having attempted to rig the 2016 Presidential election, either by “colluding” with the Russians or anyone else. 
President Trump and Attorney General Sessions won’t determine the outcome of the Mueller investigation, either. Only the EVIDENCE, or lack thereof, can do that. 
Game, set, match.
Re: Ron Hansen indictment. Here’s the link to a PDF. Note the section on “Classified Information” that begins on page 4. Identical to those classifications as those Hillary Clinton was excused for “mishandling” because she lacked “intent,” and for which there is now a sh!tload of evidence on the Abedin/Weiner laptop:

“Archived” in the Foggy Bottom Basement, “Never to be Seen Again”
or “What Did FBI Director Comey Know, And When Did He Know It?”
“I’m confident that this process will prove that I never sent nor received any e-mail that was marked classified.”–Hillary Clinton, 09/26/15. 
“We should not think it is fine to find something that ‘should have been classified at the time. Our position is that no such material exists, else it could be said she mishandled classified info.” Clinton Presidential Campaign spokesman Brian Fallon, e-mail to John Podesta, 09/22/15.
No wonder, then, that Patrick F. Kennedy, Under Secretary of State for Management, went to such EXTRAORDINARY LENGTHS, pressuring no fewer than four separate FBI officials, in his monomaniacal effort to change the classification on one of Hillary Clinton’s emails from SECRET/NOFORN to Unclassified (but “privileged, and so not to be made public).
Kennedy’s name just seemed to keep cropping up when the dirt went down during Clinton’s tenure at Foggy Bottom. Indeed, a wide-ranging investigation conducted by the Department of State Inspector General in 2013 makes for very interesting reading.
That year, reports and memos prepared by the Office of Inspector General alleged that Howard Gutman, U.S. Ambassador to Belgium (who had raised $500,000 for President Obama’s campaign), had solicited minors for sex in Brussells. Members of Clinton’s own security detail also were alleged to have hooked up with prostitutes. Kennedy tried to squelch the OIG report, or at the very least kill any mention of the Ambassador Gutman case.
Madam Secretary Clinton had no prior knowledge about any of the investigation, State Department spokesman Nicholas Merrill assured us.
“We learned of it from the media and don’t know anything beyond what’s been reported,” Merrill said in a written statement.
Fast forward to 2015 and the FBI’s CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION to determine if classified information had been mishandled on Hillary Clinton’s private, unsecure, unauthorized, home brew email server while she served as Secretary of State. The following is a chronological narrative compiled from FD-302 summaries of FBI interviews conducted in the course of that investigation, in which then-FBI Director concluded that Madam Secretary Clinton had committed no INTENTIONAL wrong-doing in the “matter.”
“(Redacted) believes that STATE has an agenda which involves minimizing the classified nature of the CLINTON emails in order to protect STATE interests and those of CLINTON.”
“… (redacted) received a call from (redacted) of the International Operations Division (IOD) of the FBI, who “pressured” him to change the classified email to unclassified. (redacted) indicated he had been contacted by PATRICK KENNEDY, Under Secretary of State, who asked his assistance in ALTERING the email’s classification in exchange for a ‘quid pro quo.’ (Emphasis mine.)
“(redacted) advised that, in exchange for marking the email unclassified, STATE would reciprocate by allowing the FBI to place more agents in countries where they are presently forbidden.
“ … the email of KENNEDY’s concern was classified by the FBI Counterterrorism Division and WAS RELATED TO THE ATTACKS ON THE U.S. CONSULATE IN BENGHAZI.” (Emphasis mine.)
“During the conversation, a participant specifically asked whether any of the emails were classified. Making eye contact with (redacted), KENNEDY remarked:
“’Well, we’ll see.’”
“KENNEDY told (redacted) that the FBI’s classification of the email caused problems for KENNEDY and KENNEDY wanted to classify the document as “B(9).” KENNEDY further stated that the B(9) classification would allow him to “achive the document in the basement of the DoS never to be seen again.”
“(redacted) was then present during a conference call involving KENNEDY and MICHAEL STEINBACH (Assistant Director of the FBI Counterterrorism Division) in which KENNEDY continued to pressure to change the classification markings on the email to unclassified. STEINBACH refused to do so …
“STEINBACH advised KENNEDY that the FBI would not comment publicly on the matter. The conference call ended and, according to (redacted), the (Associated Press)” published the story within the hour.”
“Former Secretary of State CLINTON appeared before the press shortly thereafter to deny having sent classified emails on her private email server.”

When I was trained in the handling of classified information (TS +SAC) one fact that was drilled into my head, “Classified information need not be marked to be classified.” It is up to those working in the classified world to recognize classified information and handle it accordingly. 
Being a dumb spacecraft Engineer I followed the training guidelines and “When in doubt contact your local Security Officer.” I became very friendly with every Security Officer on every Program I worked in 32 years. I say every because even “Unclassified” NASA Programs may have classified content. 
Being a pion I attribute my lack of security infractions/jail time over a 32 year career and so far 7 year retirement to obeying the rules. I am also a devout coward of the court/legal system and the “Crossbar Hotel” (jail)! That which I know or can remember I know goes to the hereafter with me.

For all of you that think nothing will happen, you are going to be in for a big surprise. Many of us have run out of patience. I can’t blame you if you have. However, facts are facts and these facts aren’t going to be swept under some damn rug.

Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers. The EU trade surplus with the U.S. is $151 Billion, and Canada keeps our farmers and others out. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow.

For those that think the Awan case goes away with this plea deal, please read this article. It is about to explode!
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/06/06/democrats-it-scandal-set-to-explode-with-possible-plea-deal.html
From the article linked above:
As I’ve dug deep into this case for my book “Spies in Congress” (out later this year), sources have made it clear that the bank fraud charges in this case, though very real, are just a way to hold the defendants.
Sources tell me that the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has been looking into this matter since well before Awan and his crew of Pakistani congressional IT aides were booted off the House computer network in February 2017.
Imran Awan was also going back to Pakistan for long stays and, in fact, at times worked remotely
