July 25, 2019 Toward the end of his testimony (click here) before the House Intelligence Committee, former special counsel Robert Mueller responded to Democrat Peter Welch, who asked: “Have we established a new normal from this past campaign that is going to apply to future campaigns, so that if any one of us running for the U.S. House ― any candidate for the U.S. Senate, any candidate for the presidency of the United States ― aware that a hostile foreign power is trying to influence an election, has no duty to report that to the FBI or other authorities?” Mueller responded: “I hope it’s not the new normal, but I fear it is.” During his testimony, Mueller added that “we are expecting [Russia] to [interfere] again during the next campaign.”... Cindy Hyde-Smith is actually afraid that if foreign governments don't effect the USA elections Republicans will lose. They are Un-American. Just that simple. Anyone running for office should be representing ONLY those voting and not the influence of foreign power that seeks to end the USA democracy. They are cowards. They are afraid of their own voters unless they are UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF FOREIGN POWER. ...As if sensing an opportunity to prove Mueller correct, on Wednesday Republican senator Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi blocked two election-security bills and a measure regarding cybersecurity for Senate staff. Democrats hoped to pass two bills requiring campaigns to alert the FBI and the Federal Election Commission if they received offers of assistance from abroad. Within the Senate, their bill would allow the sergeant-at-arms to offer voluntary assistance to help secure the personal devices and accounts of lawmakers and their staff.... Republicans cower in the corners of the American democracy along with White Supremacists/Nationalists and foreign powers that literally wage cyberwar against the freedoms and power of the USA. They are all cowards. Foreign governments spending enormous amounts of money in efforts to end the power of the USA are among the most cowardly in the world. They don't care about the values of the USA in order to join capitalism as a strategy for their countries to begin to instill a strong middle class. Cowards. That is what Republicans are, cowards among all the cowards of the world. Having a strong and safe electoral system is the call of the unafraid to stand on their values and hopes for this country.
November 24, 2018 By Christal Hayes Washington – Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (click here) attended a segregation academy in high school and praised a Confederate soldier's attempts to "defend his homeland," according to reports. The reports, from theJackson Free Press, an independent newspaper in Mississippi, andCNN, are the latest to bring up Mississippi's racist history ahead of a tense runoff election between Hyde-Smith and Democrat Mike Espy, who is vying to become the state's first African-American in the Senate since the Reconstruction. In recent weeks, Hyde-Smith was criticized for a joke where she said she'd gladly attend a "public hanging" and be in the "front row." She was also captured on video making a joke about voter suppression, and photos posted to Facebook in 2014 show her with Confederate items and a caption reading, "Mississippi history at its best!"...
What I find interesting about his statement is that he is with the understanding there is much more to do to bring justice to the American people. July 24, 2019 By Paul LeBlanc ..."Mr. Mueller today had the world stage to answer questions regarding obstruction of justice and witness tampering. Sadly, his reluctance just continues to leave the debate open and those responsible free from prosecution ... for the moment," he said. "The American people deserve more!"...

If Trump launches into war in the Middle East and/or returns the military draft Trump’s impeachment should begin immediately.
July 24, 2019 By Barbara Starr and Sophie Jeong North Korea has launched at least one short range projectile, (click here) according to an initial assessment described by a US defense official. The official added that the launch appears to resemble the May 2019 firing of two short-range missiles, which traveled approximately 260 miles. The South Korean military told CNN it was fired from the Wonson area. "Our military, in preparation for additional launches, is maintaining (its) readiness posture by monitoring related movements," an official in the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff office said.
I think the US House Speaker is correct in that there needs to be more evidence and testimony to come forward. I also believe the Former Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III also made that perfectly clear today. I think the Chairpersons of the US House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees did a great job. They proved their expertise. They were correct in bringing these hearings today. I had no idea the intelligence agencies are still engaged with so much information from the report of the Special Counsel. Also, as evidence to the patience needed with this process are judges working with this material willing to release the redacted information as soon as possible. I do believe the country's legal infrastructure recognizes the brevity of this issue and everyone is working to bring all possible transparency to the people. The numbers the Speaker presented to the press is impressive. It was a nice surprise to realize the fines defendants have to pay to the federal government pays for the Special Counsel investigation. I will continue to read the report after a day or so until the country has absorbed what occurred today.
August 21, 2018 By Colin Dwyer and Sasha Ingber A familiar cyberattack suspect linked with the Russian intelligence service (click here) has resurfaced in the months leading up to the U.S. midterm elections, according to Microsoft. The tech giant announced overnightthat last week it executed a court order to disrupt six fraudulent websites set up by a hacker group known by many names — most often APT28, but alsoFancy Bearor Strontium, among others. The unit has been associated with theRussian spy agency GRUand blamed for a raft ofhigh-profile hacksacross the world in recent years — includingthe breachesof the Democratic National Committee's network during the 2016 presidential election. In this case, Microsoft says the group established a half-dozen domains meant to be confused with two conservative groups, the U.S. Senate and even Microsoft's own suite of products. Two of those targets, the nonprofit International Republican Instituteand theHudson Instituteresearch center,have criticizedthe Kremlin. Microsoft says the International Republican Institute and the Hudson Institute were targeted with my-iri.org and hudsonorg-my-sharepoint.com, and that three domains — senate.group, adfs-senate.services and adfs-senate.email — mimicked the Senate.

Joseph Mifsud is a Maltese academic, with reportedly high level connections to the Russian government. In 2016, (Wikipedia) He lives and works in the UK. He was never a Russian agent, except Nunes. I don't know who anyone with a relationship with Malta can be called a Russian spy. 18 April 2019 By Kurt Sansone The Russian government (click here) has described Malta’s decision to close its airspace to Russian military transport planes bound for Venezuela as “not friendly”. Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on Thursday said the Russian government will take Malta’s decision “into account” when considering bilateral relations with Valletta. Malta has twice refused permission to Russian military planes bound for Venezuela to use its airspace after a first request had been accepted. At the weekly news briefing today, Zakharova said the Russian embassy in Malta had asked for permission to allow Russian planes bound for Venezuela to pass through Malta’s airspace. She acknowledged that Malta exercised is sovereign right but went on to say: “The solution of Malta government is not friendly… of course Russia will take this into account in its bilateral relations with Valletta.” The Russian government has insisted it was not given an explanation for the refusal.... ...Zakharova insisted she was “surprised” by the statement that Russia would cause trouble, describing it as “absurd” and “fake news”.... ...The Russian embassy had sought permission for a visit by the warship Severomorsk, a large anti-submarine guided-missile destroyer, to dock at Grand Harbour between 23 and 26 April but withdrew the request last Tuesday. The Maltese government was going to refuse the request. Exculpated! Donald Trump was and is not exculpated. It doesn't matter if the Special Counsel Report went to the Attorney General. The DOCUMENT CREATING THE SPECIAL COUNSEL SPECIFICALLY THE FINDINGS ARE TO BE PROVIDED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Bill Barr violated the order creating teh Special Counsel when he issues a four page summary, hence, Barr violated the law. When he was called on the carpet by Mueller with a 2 page letter, Barr finally released the report albeit redacted. Exculpated is the word. Donald Trump was and is not exonerated/exculpated. Exculpated is the word. May 29, 2019 By Rachel Sandler
...Speaking publicly (click here) about his investigation for the first time, Mueller made it clear that—despite Trump critics’ hopes—he followed Justice Department policy that prohibits indicting a sitting president. But,he also said that if his team proved Trump was clean, “we would have said so.”... Robert Mueller as a Special Counsel carries a responsibility to the American people. It was their election he was investigating. He made it clear Donald J. Trump could not be charged as his campaign chairman, Manafort was, HOWEVER, it was because of an opinion of the DOJ, and the American people should not be confused that actions and behavior by Donald J. Trump was indeed criminal in content. I got that. Ya know? When he spoke about the report's findings I got the fact that the DOJ has a stupid opinion. I really did get that part. I got it because Robert Mueller as Special Counsel said it. When are the Republicans going to find a backbone to protect their country? Never? Then they need to be defeated when they want their Senate seat back. Possible Statute of Limitations on Trump. 5 years (click here) All crimes not otherwise provided for The American people should not have to tolerate such issues. If there are crimes that have to be answered for and the DOJ has rendered itself helpless, then the Congress must seriously consider impeachment. If he is guilty of bank fraud and tax evasions and/or fraud that statute is different. I believe bank charges are at least six years. However, the action by the US House regarding racism by the president has a statute limitation of a hate crime of seven years. Considering the brevity of hate crimes, the president needs to abandon his campaign of hate against the four women. He will bear a degree of responsibility for any harm caused them.
The Wikileaks stuff is a problem with the chain of custody. The FBI/CIA would have to be able to prove the emails taken from the hacking were the emails displayed on Wikileaks. If there were intermediaries it would get messy and cause a flaw in the case to the jury. Any emails displayed on the Russia sites are more clear. Trump's statements don't really convey anything that is evidence. They are evidence of his political preferences and that implies a lot of misguided values, but, there is no hard evidence in those statements about the crimes involved with ongoing proceedings. While Trump was hugging Wikileaks, the Clinton campaign should have noted everything was one sided and his statements implied a lot of why that may be. That is the real craft in politics. In their defense and all those that supported her campaign were astounded by the crime and caught completely off guard, yet nothing seemed to rattle Trump. Robert S. Mueller, III has been nothing short of an American hero all the years of his life and that is the case today. His time today was invaluable and a sincere thank you is in order for him, his staff and the family he is not with today. I wish him a continued happy life and retirement. 3:29 PM
The Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, Douglas Allen Collins, puts his politics in importance before the basis of the Rule of Law, the U. S. Constitution. The Russian Government, the Government, carried out an attack on the USA's election, the very basis of the USA Government. The work of the Special Counsel was paramount to protect the sovereignty of the USA's Constitution. The Ranking Member is wrong in his lack of loyalties to the country's Constitution.
Collusion (click here) A collaborative agreement, usually secret, amongst rivals to prevent open competition through deceptive means in order to gain a market advantage. The parties may collude by agreeing to fix prices, limit or restrict supply, share insider information, or divide the market.
Conspiracy (click here) An agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, along with an intent to achieve the agreement's goal. Most U.S. jurisdictions also require an overt act toward furthering the agreement. An overt act is a statutory requirement, not a constitutional one. See Whitfield v. United States, 453 U.S. 209 (2005). The illegal act is the conspiracy's "target offense." Conspiracy generally carries a penalty on its own. In addition, conspiracies allow for derivative liability where conspirators can also be punished for the illegal acts carried out by other members, even if they were not directly involved. Thus, where one or more members of the conspiracy committed illegal acts to further the conspiracy's goals, all members of the conspiracy may be held accountable for those acts. Where no one has actually committed a criminal act, the punishment varies. Some conspiracy statutes assign the same punishment for conspiracy as for the target offense. Others impose esser penalties. Conspiracy applies to both civil and criminal offenses. For example, you may conspire to commit murder, or conspire to commit fraud. Conspiracy is codified, the collusion is not. 18 U.S. Code§ 371. Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud United States
If two or more persons (click here) conspire either to commit any offense against the United States or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. If, however, the offense, the commission of which is the object of the conspiracy, is a misdemeanor only, the punishment for such conspiracy shall not exceed the maximum punishment provided for such misdemeanor. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 701; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Ratcliff is parsing words. (click here) The Special Counsel is not able to conduct an investigation without free and open access to people and facts, THEREFORE, considering obstruction of justice is defined in the PURPOSE of the Special Counsel. Ratcliff's grandstanding is a clown show. ...Two memos (click here) authored by the Office of Legal Counsel—one in 1973, in the midst of the Nixon impeachment saga, the other in 2000, on the heels of the Clinton impeachment saga—take the view that a sitting president is immune from indictment. By contrast, two different memos—authored by the Office of Special Counsel investigating Nixon, and the Office of Independent Counsel investigating Clinton—reach the opposite conclusion....
Former Attorney General Sessions was required to recuse himself and he was correct in doing so because he was involved in the campaign. Former AG Sessions is the person to the far left and Donald J. Trump is at the end of the table facing the camera. I might add since Former AGSessions resigned the AG position has been manipulated by Donald J. Trump. It appears the Former AG Sessions was the only one of Trump's AGs that actually respect the Rule of Law.
18 U.S. Code§ 1510.Obstruction of criminal investigations (click here) (a) Whoever willfully endeavors by means of bribery to obstruct, delay, or prevent the communication of information relating to a violation of any criminal statute of the United States by any person to a criminal investigator shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. Rep. Jim Jordan is trying to redefine the truth in applying the Rule of Law. That is why Former Special Counsel Mueller disagrees with him. I did not find a formal webpage for Jim Jordan. He has no respect for his constituency and their access to his time. In checking it now there is a website. (click here) I swear I didn't find it before.
Conformable to fact; correct; exact; actual; genuine; honest “In one sense, that only is true which is conformable to the actual state of things. In that sense, a statement is untrue which does not express things exactly as they are. Rut in another and broader sense, the word ‘true’ is often used as a synonym of ‘honest,’ ‘sincere,’ ‘not fraudulent.’ ” Moulor v. American L. Ins. Co.. Ill U. S. 345, 4 Sup. Ct. 400, 28 L. Ed. 447. The truth in law is based in evidence. The Truth is not abstract or plastic/pliable. There is a truth within any aspect of the Rule of Law. An attempt to change the definition of the Truth is a direct attack on the USA Constitution. Aaron Zebley ...A graduate of the College of William & Mary in 1992 (click here) who earned his law degree in 1996 from the University of Virginia School of Law, Zebley worked as a special agent in the FBI's Counter Terrorism Division before crossing paths with Mueller.... Christopher Steele was never interviewed to the extent I have read the Special Counsel report. I would like people to cite a specific part of the report where Steele was interviewed. The Former Director is not required to speculate on something he has no direct information. If Steele was never interviewed there is no way of validating the facts. Steele cannot be charged without sound verifiable proof.
Glenn Simpson (click here) The founder of a political research firm that hired former British spy Christopher Steele to compile a dossier on alleged contacts between then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his advisers and Russia is refusing to testify to a Republican-led investigation by Congress.... I don't blame him for not cooperating. Did the president destroy evidence? It depends on how evidence is defined. If asking people to lie is evidence, then he did attempt to destroy evidence. Curtail = Limit There was no specific point that the Former Special Counsel made the determination there was no conspiracy. It was a progressive decision as he reviewed one aspect of evidence from another. There was no specific point until he reviewed everything and didn't find what he was looking for that would be soundly conclusive. He determined the conspiracy issue after he reviewed the final evidence relating to that. No one can intelligently discuss the evidence because it is secluded somewhere in the myriad of halls and rooms in the USA Federal Government. The fact the Former Special Counsel recognizes he does not necessarily subscribe to the same conclusions as others is also a recognition that other applications of the facts can apply within the evidence without defacing same evidence. He also recognizes internal discussions within the department as absolutely confidential. Therefore, there are discussions that occur within the department. In other words, Robert Mueller applies the law so the charges stick. That is a standard for criminal prosecution that also wins the respect of judges. In other words, when Mueller and/or his agents show up before a judge it is dead serious without question. The American people do not see his day to day work, but, the QUALITY of the FBI's or the Special Counsel's evidence is valid. That is the environment he works in. The Former Special Counsel is not responsible for the letter from the DOJ. Just because the Republicans don't like the words Robert Mueller says, does not mean those words are invalid. The DOJ is known to be under the influence of the President's Defense Attorney/Attorney General. The citing of public media reports occurs frequently because Trump carries out his crimes in full public view/in plain sight. It is legitimate to say the Former Special Counsel differs in the way Attorney General Barr handles evidence and the report of that evidence in regard to his investigation. The evidence of that statement is the letter to Barr from Mueller on March 27, 2019 (click here of the reporting of the Associated Press). Wait a minute. Do Congressional members of the President's party read mainstream media? The FISA Court was mentioned as well. After reading only a part of the evidence about Carter Page the FISA Court better have been asked for further information on Page. Absolutely. Page was knee deep in Russian influence. Give me a break, he was a guest of a Russian economic university to make a speech. The beautiful part of Page's speech is that he was supposed to set his appearance aside to allow Trump to make a speech and he did it anyway. Page was never insulted by the Russians when he was asked to have Trump speak, he continued to do so and made the Russian newspapers. Carter Page WANTED the relationship with the Russians at any cost. Rep. Ben Cline (click here) is making a speech and not asking questions.
I don't are the qualifications of any member of the US House they aren't Mueller. This man was recruited to do this investigation overwhelmingly by Congress. There is one Special Counsel report and while others are always tempted to add their own interpretation, there is only one document and only one Special Counsel and his extensive expertise and assistants. Barr is investigating the Steele Dossier as part of an anti-constitutional agenda. That is why Mueller won't even lean into the question. By Dan Merica, CNN Updated 5:18 PM ET, Tue June 13, 2017
Washington - President Donald Trump (click here) interviewed Robert Muelleras a potential replacement for fired FBI Director James Comey the day before the former FBI director was named special counsel, a White House official said Tuesday. The official, who would not detail what the two discussed during the interview, said it took place on May 16.... It is the responsibility of all the press/media to NOW print the truth. Trump is lying and the Former Special Counsel firmly denied he was ever interested in the Director of the FBI position after James Comey was fired. He only spoke to Trump about the agency and it's work. "Allan Weissman attended Hillary Clinton's party." Give me a break, political preferences are not legally held as a requirement. FBI Jobs (click here) Deputy Director McCabe Ethical Guidance and Recusal (click here) FBI Agents collect evidence and uphold the Rule of Law above all else in their lives when conducting their jobs. It is an insult to imply otherwise. If there is a problem FOUND with a particular agent there are policies. Agents that use their official handheld for personal matters are foolish, although there are going to be times such issues with family might prove prudent. It is now 11 minutes beyond the agreed ending time at the US House testimony. Trump doesn't govern. He insults. That is not governing. The Steele Dossier is not the basis of the Special Counsel investigation. The FBI as early as 2015 detected activity by Russians in the USA. Then the FBI again after the hacking of the DCCC, DNC and Clinton campaign found it necessary to continue a Russian investigation as the evidence pointed in that direction. The then Director of the FBI was fired per Twitter by the President. Russians showed up at the White House in a matter of hours following the Director of the FBI. There was absolutely no doubt an investigation was to go forward. The Special Counsel was the only impartial method left to the country to continue the investigation of the Russian attack on the 2016 elections. The Steele Dossier had absolutely nothing to do with the investigation lead by Former Director Robert S. Mueller, III. 12:03 pm 12:45 pm The Former Special Counsel was helpful.
They (click here for t-shirt) I doubt the manufacturer received permission to use their image for profit. But, right now they are a monolith every time Trump brands them and rebrands them. Anyone notice how he continues to change the "evil name" of the ladies. His METHODOLOGY is to depersonalize the person and rebrand the person. Depersonalization comes as an 'evil person or idea' such as socialism that will destroy the USA economy. Then he finds a word that sticks. He is still looking for that word for the four ladies. Every time they get a chance to personalize themselves to the media do it. Try the idea of producing a "You Tube" about where they were born, where their parents are from and where they are today. I would love for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to produce her own autobiography of her plight and the salvation the USA provided to her and her family as refugees. I believe most Americans do not understand what a refugee status is and how they come to love this country as their own. But, the idea is to expand the understanding of what is now a monolith identity. They should give themselves many dimensions even outside the Congress. The people involved in such a composition would have to provide consent to be a part of the production. But, if they are to be the face of the younger and newer generation of Democrats, then, they need to let the USA come to know them and understand their lives and how they were elected.
It is not reasonable to have one man complete testimony on an investigation that took 22 months and was the culmination of extensive assistance from the FBI and innumerable members of the DOJ. This investigation occurred because two separate departments in the USA federal government detected interference by Russians. Those two agencies launched investigations autonomously. The idea this was a witch hunt for political purposes are lies by Trump and this obstruction proves his guilt. The Attorney General should be ashamed of his role in any obstruction. ...To carry out the investigation and prosecution of the matters assigned to him, the Special
Counsel assembled a team that at its high point included 19 attorneys-five of whom joined the
Office from private practice and 14 on detail or assigned from other Department of Justice
components. These attorneys were assisted by a filter team of Department lawyers and FBI
personnel who screened materials obtained via court process for privileged information before
turning those materials over to investigators; a support staff of three paralegals on detail from the
Department's Antitrust Division; and an administrative staff of nine responsible for budget,
finance, purchasing, human resources, records, facilities, security, information technology, and
administrative support. The Special Counsel attorneys and support staff were co-located with and
worked alongside approximately 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants, a
paralegal, and professional staff assigned by the FBI to assist the Special Counsel's investigation....

ANSWER. At the height of the election campaign, such visits are not random. And not related to politics either. Of course, the temptation to give a lecture at a Russian liberal university, and even during student holidays, is insurmountable for members of the American elite - but in this case, it doesn’t more than disguise the negotiations on relations between our countries after Trump’s likely victory. These negotiations, of course, can now be only preliminary, but they are necessary: in a modern rapidly and chaotically changing world, no responsible politician needs any extra surprises — neither Putin nor Trump....

The partisan groups “carried out more than 3,000 acts of sabotage, the victims of which were thousands of civilians.” NATO’s film titled “Forest Brothers” describes the partisan units in the three Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania which fought for independence from the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1953.... "Forest Brothers" (click here - foreign language, narrated in English) Okay, now I have my say. Obviously, the Trump campaign is a far right-leaning organization. But, for one of their members to be emailing a Russian in the foreign ministry that actively speaks out about NATO is too interesting in realizing how Trump approaches NATO.

A high-profile Chinese fugitive (click here) — who belongs to President Donald Trump’s exclusive South Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, and has railed against China’s communist government — is accused of being a spy for that very regime, according to new documents filed in a federal court case in New York. Chinese billionaire Wengui Guo, who also goes by Miles Kwok, fled to the United States four years ago after learning an associate had been arrested on corruption charges. He is now one of China’s most-wanted, accused of myriad crimes by the Chinese government, including paying bribes and sexual assault. He maintains his innocence, saying the charges are politically motivated. Guo, who made his money in real estate, has long promoted himself as a dissident being hunted by the Chinese government for his opposition to the ruling Chinese Communist Party. He is currently seeking political asylum in the United States, where he reportedly avoided deportation by the Trump administration after the president learned Guo was a member of Mar-a-Lago.... Well, now all the people seeking asylum at the USA southern border knows where to go to find a way into the USA. Go to Mar-a-Lago and ask for President Trump and offer to join the club if he will provide asylum for everyone at the USA southern border.
