[BPR] Adorned in what appeared to be the skin of a deceased blue whale, failed 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton spoke out in praise last week of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's glaringly partisan impeachment proceedings.
But it seemed that Twitter was less concerned with what was coming out of Clinton's mouth as they were with what was on her back. Criticism of her outfit swept the social media platform, and nobody held back...

Speaking of gutsy women I noticed the Harriet Tubman movie died a relatively quick death.

I just want to go on record as saying that Mrs. Clinton looks young and beautiful in this photograph. Also, I'm feeling quite chipper and have no suicidal tendencies. You can quote me on that.

[Washington Examiner] Rep. Jeff Van Drew said he decided to leave the Democratic Party when a party county chairman ordered him to vote to impeach President Trump.
The New Jersey lawmaker appeared on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures to discuss his decision to join the Republican Party. Van Drew pledged to join the GOP after voting against impeaching Trump, one of just two Democrats to vote against both articles of impeachment.
"The party is moving further and further to the Left where there’s discussions of it being a socialist party, and I am a proud capitalist. I believe in hard work," Van Drew said, criticizing the radical direction of the Democratic Party.
He finally decided to abandon the party, though, after a county chairman from one of the eight counties he represents told him that "you've got to vote for impeachment. If you don’t, you’re not going to be able to run in my county," calling the remark the "final sign" he needed to change parties.
"First of all, I still could have run," Van Drew said.
He continued, "But it made me think, for all the years that I have worked so hard and tried to give so much ... and it all boils down to one vote, that I may have my own individual opinion on one vote, and that's not going to be allowed? I'm going to be punished for that? And that's when I knew."

The rest of the moderates bowed to the party and voted for impeachment. They should be done in 2020 since they came from districts Trump won in 2016.

Congrats! Most pols would not have the courage to burn their bridges like that.
This highlights a flaw in "I vote for the man* and not the party", namely that when push comes to shove, most will vote the party line, no matter what.
*Feel free to substitute any of the 57 genders for the word "man"

The interagency process is a bit more formal. Let's just say the discussions and communiques on Mr. Page would not have ended simply as... "yes, he is a source."

I'm not sure Cruz is right in that it was great investigating. Someone at the CIA wrote a memo saying he is a source. Someone at the CIA was probably aware that the the memo was changed to say the exact opposite. Someone at the CIA probably contacted the investigators.
I do hope the document changer goes to prison for a long time.

Ref #4: I do hope the document changer goes to prison for a long time.
I doubt he or she will see any punitive action or prison time. The actions are likely to be viewed as more of a technical omission or modification employed to protect 'sources and methods.'
It is also very likely that the owning agency 'directed' the FBI to respond to the FISA court in this manner.

Mr. Page was the 'mole' employed to permit surveillance and incidental collection of a political campaign. A witting mole, or an unwitting mole, you decide. IMA still going with eagerly witting and complicit... hoping someone will conduct an examination of his personal banking records.
I doubt the originators of this little project ever imagined that a FISA court authorization 'deep dive' would ever take place. Even further beyond their collective imagination would be an examination of the interagency process. But guess what, here we are.
It just keeps getting interestinger and interestinger.

Clinesmith’s name surfaced previously. In 2018, GOP Congressman Mark Meadows publicly accused Clinesmith of possibly being the FBI lawyer described in the inspector general’s report as writing anti-Trump messages, including one that declared “viva le resistance.” The Times is now reporting that Clinesmith is that lawyer, known as FBI lawyer 2 in the IG’s earlier report into the Clinton email investigation.

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.
