[Gateway Pundit] Earlier this month Evelyn Farkas, the former Assistant Defense Secretary under the Obama administration and a top Hillary Clinton campaign advisor, admitted on MSNBC that the Obama administration was spying on the Trump Transition team and sending top secret information to "friends" on "The Hill."
This clip of Evelyn Farkas was ignored by the media until Conservative Treehouse and Gateway Pundit reported on this yesterday. You may wish to give some thought to securing legal counsel, Evelyn.
On Wednesday night junkyard dog Jay Sekulow outlined the legal ramifications for the Obama administration and Evelyn Farkas on Hannity. We are now looking at several felonies committed by the Obama administration.
Junkyard dog Jay Sekulow: At the time that she said that she was made aware of the intelligence she was no longer an employee of the State Department. So what you have to ask the first thing a lawyer would ask if why would a former employee find out about this information if she was gone? Number two, we were concerned about the Obama administration involved in this would be known by the Trump administration. Well, guess what? The Trump administration. Well guess what? The president of the United States is Donald Trump.

At the time that she said that she was made aware of the intelligence (admitted the Obama administration was spying) she was no longer an employee of the State Department. So what you have to ask the first thing a lawyer would ask if why would a former employee find out about this information if she was gone?em>
If she received intelligence after leaving government, the spying has continued too. Hope the investigation does.
BLUF: [LI] A review of federal campaign records reveals that Becerra and his predecessor, now-Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), have received tens of thousands of dollars from Planned Parenthood and other abortion activists over the years.
Harris was the 12th largest recipient of contributions from pro-choice groups, receiving $39,855 from the abortion industry as her office was investigating Daleiden, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Becerra served in the House of Representatives for six terms before being appointed to Harris’ seat. He received more than $7,600 from Planned Parenthood and NARAL, which also gives him a 100 percent rating on pro-choice positions.
Planned Parenthood Orange and San Bernardino Counties and Planned Parenthood Northern California each ranked among the top 10 of all pro-abortion campaign contributors in 2016.
The Attorney General’s office did not return a request for comment about the donations.

Correction: Democrats give them hundreds of millions in tax payer money each year, and they kick back tens of thousands to Democrat political campaigns.
It's called the economics of corruption. Corruption is only sustainable as long as there is money in the government coffer. That's why Obama doubled the national debt to $20 trillion, we tax payers couldn't be squeezed anymore after ObamaCare did.

Politicians don't mind forking over hundreds of millions of tax payer money because it's not their money. It might seem like they get very little in return compared to what they give but in reality they give nothing. The tens of thousands they get are free as far as they're concerned. Tax payers are the ones who get ripped off.

Those shown negotiating baby brain prices in the videos have yet to be charged, making quite clear California’s AG (a former Democrat state house member) was politically prompted to levy a long litany of charges
I don't think things can get more disgusting than this. The people who profit from this and enable this ought to be trepanned.
[HOT AIR] Monday the far left site AlterNet published an interview with academic and author Noam Chomsky in which Chomsky warned that President Trump might stage a terror attack on the United States to rally support for his administration. Here’s Chomsky from AlterNet:
I think that sooner or later the white working-class constituency will recognize, and in fact, much of the rural population will come to recognize, that the promises are built on sand. There is nothing there.
And then what happens becomes significant. In order to maintain his popularity, the Trump administration will have to try to find some means of rallying the support and changing the discourse from the policies that they are carrying out, which are basically a wrecking ball to something else. Maybe scapegoating, saying, "Well, I’m sorry, I can’t bring your jobs back because these bad people are preventing it." And the typical scapegoating goes to vulnerable people: immigrants, terrorists, Muslims and elitists, whoever it may be. And that can turn out to be very ugly.
I think that we shouldn’t put aside the possibility that there would be some kind of staged or alleged terrorist act, which can change the country instantly.
Far left academics like Chomsky say ridiculous things on a daily basis. What makes Chomsky's comments particularly dangerous is that his comments are accorded more weight by many on the left.
There have been numerous terror attacks on the U.S. in the past few years, including the Boston marathon bombing, the San Bernardino attack, the Orlando nightclub shooting, the bombings in New York and New Jersey and the Ohio State University attack. That's not even a complete list of terror attacks since 2013. So it's almost inevitable that there will be similar attacks during Trump's term in office. The FBI will do it's best to prevent them of course, but it's likely some attacks will take place. Now Chomsky is introducing the idea that the next terror attack will have bee "staged" in some way by the President himself. And, unfortunately, there will be people who believe it to be true despite the fact there will be no evidence to support it (because it won't happen).

I have no doubt Chomsky actually believes this proto-conspiracy-theory but it is poison for the body politic. It's no different than the false flag conspiracy stuff promoted by Alex Jones. Indeed, AlterNet has published stories criticizing Jones for claiming terror attacks are false flag events. They ought to criticize Chomsky for making similar claims. He thinks that because the left would do it.

When you have been wrong on pretty much everything your entire life as Chomsky has, but some people still take you seriously, might as well double down.

That wasn't a sewer AA that was a river. So I guess the rule is you can't pour toxic sludge into a sewer but you can into a river. That sounds like bureaucrat logic.
[New York Times] But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.
At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.
Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton

Cash flowed into the Clinton Foundation in a Uranium deal with Russia? I'm shocked I tell you. Not about the cash flow but that the NYTs reported it way back in April, 2015. Comey has a history of being a gate-keeper for the Clintons.

Jean-Claude Juncker is delusional. Reminds me of the movie, the "Mouse that Roared" in which Peter Sellers, was the scheming Prime Minister of Grand Fenwick (One could read this as Luxembourg.

In an extraordinary speech the EU Commission president said he would push for Ohio and Texas to split from the rest of America if the Republican president does not change his tune and become more supportive of the EU.
[New York Post] A long-time aide to Hillary Clinton sought to map out her funeral -- and Bill Clinton’s -- in 2010 because "planning is best done when they are still with us," according to an email released on Wednesday by Judicial Watch.
Capricia Marshall, who was chief of protocol for the State Department when Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state, wrote to Huma Abedin, Doug Band and Cheryl Mills on Feb. 23, 2010, saying "everytime someone significant passes, I am flooded with requests" about the Clintons’ arrangements.
"Planning is necessary and best done when they are still with us," she wrote to top Clinton aide Abedin.
"As well, Huma, I would make the same suggestion to you -- for her it will be a little different ... And once affirmed it will be very hard for someone to deny the type of ceremony she wanted -- as well I understand that the President can request certain arrangements for her that she/her rep cannot (ie if you want the motorcade to go through DC -- stop somewhere)," Marshall wrote in one email.
She told the aides she needed to contact the military to prepare for the funerals -- "as Protocol has a lot to do with planning, notification etc."
Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group, released 1,184 pages of emails on Wednesday.
Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left; so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy, um, that the Trump folks ‐ if they found out HOW we knew what we knew about their, the Trump staff, dealing with Russians ‐ that they would try to compromise those sources and methods; meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.

Sounds like Ms. Farkas will be soon be testifying before a House or Senate committee. She would probably be talking to the FBI director if we had one.

Call me crazy, but I believe the Donks are looking furiously for any thread of Trump:Russkis collusion so as to justify 0bama-sanctioned "snooping."
"Forgive me, I know it may have been wrong, but we were only protecting our country." Yada, yada, yada...

I dunno Blossom. Could be. Or it could be that they are suffering so badly from Trump Derangement Syndrome that they just aren't acting rationally acting much more irrational than usual. I have difficulty imparting patriotic motives to them.
While they may be failing to whip 60 votes for a filibuster on SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch, struggling to craft a message, and left hanging on the Russia investigation, Democrats in Congress are at least going to nail down one Trump administration official for his comments about the LEGO Batman Movie.
Last week, Hollywood-executive-turned-Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin gave a short interview to Axios, where he refused to provide suggestions on which movies Americans should see because his advice could be construed as improper. He then went on to joke that families should consider an outing to see LEGO Batman, a movie he produced.
"I’m not allowed to promote anything that I’m involved in. So I just want to have the legal disclosure, you’ve asked me the question, and I am not promoting any product," Mnuchin said on Friday. "But you should send all your kids to Lego Batman."
Everyone was left laughing. Everyone, that is, execept Democratic Senator Ron Wyden (Dip$hit, Oregon).
Furious that Mnuchin would even dare to joke about his Hollywood connections in this terrifying, Trumpian climate of corruption, Wyden went immediately to the Office of Government Ethics, begging the director to launch a full investigation into whether Mnuchin was engaging in a conflict of interest with his off-the-cuff reference.
"I am concerned that Sec. Mnuchin’s comments, may be seen to have a predictable effect on the financial interests" of RatPac-Dune," Wyden said in a letter to the OGE.
RatPac-Dune Entertainment Holdings LLC is Mnuchin’s former production company with filmmaker Brett Rattner and a handful of other media moguls. The studio has produced and financed a number of recent blockbusters, including The LEGO Movie, LEGO Batman, and Mad Max: Fury Road.
But Mnuchin divested himself of his share of RatPac Dune before taking up the mantle at Treasury, and signed an ethics agreement stating he would not actively promote any of RatPac’s products as a member of the Administration.
When asked about Wyden’s dire concerns about his joke, Mnuchin’s office released a statement, essentially saying that Ron Wyden needs to lighten up.
"As his statement reflects, the Secretary clearly recognized that he generally may not promote private interests and specifically gave the legal disclosure that he was not promoting a movie, but answering a question he was asked directly," Mnuchin’s statement read.

There are no men remaining within the democratic party.
There's plenty of pedophiles, rapists, cowards, traitors, fascists, and nihilists within the democratic party, but no *men*.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
