-Lurid Crime Tales-
Ex-Clinton Spox: Yeah, Someone From The Hillary Campaign Had To Have Known About Dossier Payments
BLUF:
[Townhall] So, we have another admission that Democrats funded this effort, there is a paper trail, and there is a money trail to point to the possibility that the Democrats may have colluded with Russia to try and sink Trump with this dossier, which by the way no other outlet, save for Buzzfeed, published because there was no way to verify the contents. This whole affair involved a former British spy using foreign sources to collect information to try and sink the candidacy of Donald Trump subsidized by the Democrats. This isn’t stateside, nor was it from public sources.

The point is if the GOP actually did this, the Red Scare would erupt in the media. It’s par for the course concerning double standards, but there is more to suggest Hillary colluded with the Russians than Trump, which is ironic in the extreme. With Trump, it’s been months and there is still no solid evidence of collusion. With Clinton, there are records.

#1  Alright so someone now please establish the link btwn the Dossier and FISA warrants, the electronic monitoring of the Donald Trump Campaign and the efforts of Robert Mueller.

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree
The principle that prohibits the use of secondary evidence in trial that was culled directly from primary evidence derived from an illegal Search and Seizure.
The "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine is an offspring of the Exclusionary Rule. The exclusionary rule mandates that evidence obtained from an illegal arrest, unreasonable search, or coercive interrogation must be excluded from trial. Under the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, evidence is also excluded from trial if it was gained through evidence uncovered in an illegal arrest, unreasonable search, or coercive interrogation. Like the exclusionary rule, the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine was established primarily to deter law enforcement from violating rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Clearly somebody did know. With all this sunshine illuminating previously dark corners, I have begun to wonder what the party that arises to replace the Democrats will be called.

Arabia
Qatar’s official nonsense
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
i emir has surprised me by what he said this week in interview with CBS. But, when it comes from Qatar then it is shouldn’t actually come as a surprise. Sheikh Tamim is trying to show the world that the boycotting countries do not want to begin dialogue because they only want a regime change. He tried to appear as if he is ready to have dialogue and make concessions. But what has Qatar done in the last five months to show this?

He continued giving hints about illusory sovereignty, claiming that the four countries seek to violate Qatari illusory sovereignty. As for their relations with the "honorable" Iran, the prince explained that this rapprochement is due to closed border with Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and the boycott imposed on Qatar.

This is not really strange as two days earlier, we heard of former Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassem’s admiration of Israel. When he wanted to compare Arab countries with other countries, he did not choose Britannia, Finland, Singapore or South Korea, but he went directly to the Israeli model to show how he is impressed with it, saying that it is country that has no oil, but it has goals.

The appropriate response to all these Qatari official statements might be what Bahraini King Hamad
...King of Bahrain (since 14 February 2002), having previously been its emir (from 6 March 1999). He is a Sunni, while the rest of Bahrain is predominantly Shiite...
bin Issa said yesterday, stressing that it is time to take firmer action against those ask the support of the other countries against neighboring countries. The king added that Qatar proved that it does not respect the agreements upon which the GCC was established. This has led to the king rethinking Bahrain’s participation in the upcoming GCC summit; he said: "Bahrain cannot attend any summit or meeting, attended by Qatar unless it reforms its approach, returns to its correct path and responds to the demands of the boycotting countries."

So all has became clear again, Doha has to stop this nonsense, media games and trivial campaigns. The statements from the Qatari officials are not showing responsibility and are not addressing the crisis. They are just maneuverings that have made Qatar fail to get out of the crisis in its early phases. Everyone should see the reality of this crisis and know that the four boycotting countries have approached Qatar for years to hash out differences, but Qatar instead insisted on escaping the many issues.

Soetoro at Summit: Bannon, Breitbart ‘did something pretty interesting'
[Chicago Sun Times] Former President Barack Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden, were both in Chicago on Wednesday, giving the day a feel for me of being in a bit of a time machine.

Obama wrapped up his inaugural Obama Summit on the sunny note of hope and change that propelled him into the White House for two terms, as if President Donald Trump wasn’t every day trying to dismantle his legacy.

Biden went after Trump at his speech before the Chicago Council of Global Affairs. He warned "silence is complicity" without using Trump’s name, but the message was pretty obvious.

Really, it was like being in a parallel universe.

#1  Really, it was like being in a parallel universe.

Yes, but it had nothing to do with Bannon or Breitbart. You've been there for decades.

#4  It would be a start. Pile on the evidence first. Make sure everything is accurate and so forth. Send a message.

#5  Ha, ha! You guys crack me up. NCMike is right - laws are for the little people like us. They don't usually apply to Democrats, and never to the Clintons.

#6  Conspiracy, racketeering, criminal enterprise, felony murder...is she a Soprano?
Posted by: Skidmark || 11/02/2017 22:23 Comments || Top||

#7  She'll never run for office again, and they both have lost access to people with power and influence. No doubt donations to the foundation and invitations to either of them to speak for fabulous fees have fallen off dramatically, with the bottom not yet in sight. Even if she never is tried for anything she's done, let alone convicted, she is enjoying the process of being harshly judged in the court of opinion.

She lost the easiest election in living memory, and the country is being changed by the man who should not have won. They will not be forgiven for this.
