[Breitbart] U.S. Attorney General (AG) William Barr has installed a federal prosecutor to review the criminal case leveled against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, the New York Times reported Friday.
Barr appointed a prosecutor from outside the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington to handle the Flynn case.
Citing people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity, the Times revealed:
Mr. Barr has also installed a handful of outside prosecutors to broadly review the handling of other politically sensitive national-security cases in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, the people said.
The team includes at least one prosecutor from the office of the United States attorney in St. Louis, Jeff Jensen, who is handling the Flynn matter, as well as prosecutors from the office of the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen.
Over the past two weeks, the outside prosecutors have begun grilling line prosecutors in the Washington office about various cases ‐ some public, some not ‐ including investigative steps, prosecutorial actions and why they took them, according to the people.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly refused to comment on the Times’ findings.
According to the newspaper, "The review is highly unusual and could trigger more accusations of political interference by top Justice Department officials into the work of career prosecutors."
Barr’s decision to appoint a prosecutor to scrutinize the Flynn case seemingly comes after the DOJ inspector general (IG), on December 9, exposed a string of abuses by the FBI in obtaining Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) wiretaps on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The wiretaps were part of the Russia collusion hoax probe by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Now that is just plain funny. The DoJ was packed with the most far left (of an already far left profession) lawyers that the that Obama's Marxist minions could find. It perfectly explains the subversive behavior of the DoJ, FBI and CIA for the past several years. It wasn't incompetence. It was by design.

If someone would deploy their superior skills to post the video, I’d be grateful. In passing I note that Larry David is Bernie Sander’s cousin, which was revealed to him by that PBS genealogy show.

Typically f---ed up anti-Trump logic on display.
Fantasy: "Trumpers excuse any kind of shitty behavior or bad manners, provided they're accompanied by displays of political rectitude."
Reality: Anti-Trumpers define good behavior as "politically correct" behavior.
It's the Left that invented the term "PC," fer chrissake. We have seen an orgy of nasty, hysterical, deranged, occasionally violent spasms from the Left in the last 3 years-- and all of it is motivated by an hysterical political ideology.
Thanks for reminding me why I've always hated left-wing Hollywood "humor."

I understood it as lefties drawing vicious false conclusions about even people they know well once they see a Trump connection, Lex — Mr. David is no less leftwing and anti-Trump at the end of it than he was at the beginning.
The Justice Department has told former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe it isn't prosecuting him and it considers the matter 'closed' – despite the president's string of furious tweets about McCabe and a judge's warning the a prolonged investigation had a whiff of retribution.
Federal prosecutors closed an investigation into whether McCabe lied to federal officials about his involvement in a news media disclosure, McCabe's legal team said Friday.
The end of the two-year probe of McCabe came just hours before it was revealed a federal judge scolded prosecutors and flagged President Trump's repeated tweets on the case as being like a 'banana republic.'
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Barnett Walton made the comment as he heard a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in relation to the case.
'The public is listening to what's going on, and I don't think people like the fact that you've got somebody at the top basically trying to dictate whether somebody should be prosecuted,' Walton, a George W. Bush appointee, told prosecutors in September.

A big problem with all this s#it is the length of time the dawdle.
2 years? It shouldn't take 2 months to get enough evidence to prove a charge like lying to the FBI. All the extra time does is give the vermin plenty of opportunity to dig new holes to hide in.
#5
He is the former presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Get the picture?
Bingo. Our FISA Court is itself a feature of a banana republic.
This is nothing more than a classic Deep State redirect.
Not quite SS material -- the judge is playing the game with much more skill than Mueller, McCabe, Strzok et al. played it, and he's not going on cable and posturing a la Brennan -- but it's a redirect nonetheless.
#6
This judge truly exists in a bubble if he thinks his rant is in line with mid America thinking. McCabe is dirty, we all know it, the IG recommended firing for lying (lacking candor) and illegal leaking. Trump simply pointing out the obvious is hardly telling anyone how to handle the case. What the heck is going on with our "justice" system. It is a dangerous joke.

[Red State] - Earlier, I posted a story on a speech by former White House Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly in which he revealed that he was basically opposed to President Trump and his agenda and yet took a job in his administration anyway, apparently seeing himself as some sort of fail-safe device. DC bar offers drink specials every time Trump fires White House staffer
This is an example of a larger problem and an ongoing critique of the Trump administration which runs something like this: he hired the guy, he knew what he was getting. Or as the TDS sufferers like to say, ’he hires only the best people.’ (I really, really loathe those people.)
...Unlike a George Bush (either of them), Donald Trump arrived in Washington, D.C. with no connections to the DC policy establishment. In fact, he arrived after a bruising primary and general election that left him alienated from the GOP establishment. The GOP establishment might not have called his supporters "a basket of deplorables" but they nodded their heads and chuckled when they heard it. The same establishment had gotten rich and fat off illegal immigrant labor and outsourcing American jobs to wherever. They were used to keeping the GOP base in line with promises and crumbs (George W. Bush had GOP majorities for 6 of his 8 years, how much did they accomplish in regards to slowing illegal immigration or reducing abortion?) while delivering zero. When Trump arrived in Washington he was reliant upon the very same people who had opposed his election to staff his administration.
Some hard-core NeverTrumpers were hired in an attempt to placate factions in the GOP. Some cabinet secretaries, like, for instance, James Mattis and Rex Tillerson, pressed to retain Obama appointees or bring in registered Democrats with whom they had worked into senior policy positions. The head of the White House personnel office overseeing the hiring of political appointees went to an "end of the world party" when Trump dispatched Ted Cruz in Indiana. A guerrilla war was fought against the Administration by using the security clearance process to force out many of Trump’s most loyal followers.
Personnel, as they say, is policy. It makes no difference what Trump wishes to do if he doesn’t have the people in place to vigorously follow through and make sure things happen.

First thing he should do is have someone demand to look at Shadow's (spegheti) source code used in Iowa's caucus that was written under DNC Perez's over sight.

Seems like dem voters caucus-goers in IA would have standing for a class action suit on the software SNAFU and could ask for the code in discovery.

The upshot of all this is that elections will not solve our problems because they will not be permitted to solve them.
Sure, we can vote (for now) and maybe we'll even get a few decent officeholders elected--- but when it comes to them actually accomplishing anything in office that the Overclass opposes, well, we've seen what happens.
The whole panoply of Deep State power will be activated to cripple, if not destroy them.
From the civil "service" to the courts, to the media and high tech, and even the careerists in the Fake Opposition Party (I see you, Jimmy DiStefano), all the machinery will operate to crush anyone who tries to execute the will of the voters.
I've resigned myself to the fact that nothing will truly change until a critical mass of normies also come to this conclusion and act accordingly.
[Breitbart] Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg tried to kick off a town hall event with Latino voters on Thursday night by showing off his Spanish skills, but he immediately stumbled.
In Spanish, he said, “Thanks for inviting us to speak…” before pausing and resorting back to English to conclude, “…this evening.”
Buttigieg stumbled over the Spanish pronunciation of invitarnos” (inviting) which sounded like “inventarnos” which means “inventing.”
He also appeared to forget how to say “this evening” in Spanish, resorting to English instead.
Many of the crowd in North Las Vegas, Nevada, laughed at Buttigieg, prompting him to blame his stumble on the lack of sleep on the campaign trail.
“Not quite sleeping enough but delighted to be with you,” he said.
Buttigieg appeared at the League of United Latin American Citizens Presidential Town Hall on Thursday to talk about his campaign.

Gee, no big company wants to pay royalties for things that they steal. They have a right to copy patented things because they represent the public interest, they say. Paying a small royalty just because the stuff is patented. would be so unfair to them.
So they copied java. But only a few lines were obviously patented, so they should pay nothing, they say.

Eh... copied Java? Oracle *bought* Sun Microsystems who 'owned' Java - or Java Standard - or the rights to the name.
Besides I believe Java is 'mostly' open source. 'mostly'.

Netscape was built on software developed on the public dime, but Clark and Andreesen were allowed to profit off it because lots of that cash found its way into Clinton Inc. The "open sores" software movement is what Harlan Ellison called "a shuck."
