White House Chief of Staff Memo from John Kelly to McGahn, Hagin, Sessions, Coats and Wray – “Re: Improvements to the Clearance Process” (16.02.2018)

Russian Probe: The lack of releasing the Dems Memo – Proves that the Republican’s only works to obstruct the investigation!

Today, I will comment the non-sense of not releasing the 5th February Memorandum of the Democratic Party. That would be opposing to the Devin Nunes memo. However, the President, the White House and the Committee, has all voted that down. If the Republican’s believed there was a Democratic Party conspiracy against the case, they would have released this to prove. However, it is just hog-wash and this is groundhog day. Just with a small-handed smug-faced Danny DeVito lookalike in the White House. Who doesn’t have enough character or bright enough to understand the implications of his actions. That is why the Russian Probe needs to be carried out. Even if the Department of Justice and FBI is under assault by the President. That is more likely because he fears of the knowledge they are collecting on him and his family. Since they are all bound the affairs done within a short-window of time.

Since the Devin Nunes Memo was a dud, a broken glass and half-empty suggestions without any scrutiny or disclaimers. That was just made to bring the narrative of a partisan and problematic investigation in the Trump Organization, Trump Campaign of 2016 and their Russian associates. This is deliberate attack on Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Intelligence Community as whole in the United States. It has been made directly from the White House. Since the case implicates the President, who has over time done whatever in his power to obstruct and fire people who are close to investigation.

That is why the Devin Nunes Memo was supposed to vindicate and eradicate the issue. To show that Trump has collectively worked to hunt him down. Even if his campaign has non-disclosed every single meeting, 4 people are indicted and two has pleaded guilty already. Therefore, the case that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is basing, must be on facts he has collected. Who knows what sort of documents he has gotten through the raid and through he subpoenas. That is why Trump will do whatever to stop it. Because he knows deep down, that his connections and his agreements with foreign powers will hurt him. He has never attacked Russians or Russia, but he has attacked his investigators and the US Intelligence. Who has been building this case for months.

Now, the Memo Gate is proving as part of the Russian Probe, a real drama, not that Devin Nunes has had anything fruitful, only proven that Carter Paige has been in the FBI and CIA, and been under surveillance since 2013. Years before he became a part of the Campaign of Trump. So, the surveillance of him was because of his connections in Russia. Just like people was worried that Trump hired Paul Manafort who has had oligarchs and Ukraine Officials on his side. Therefore, the Kremlin and Russian affair isn’t a pipe-dream. There are too many pieces who are loosely connected and narrowing in the web.

That is why it is interesting, that FBI director Christoffer Wrey and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein sending letter to Devin Nunes, saying the “5th February Memorandum” cannot be disclosed to the public. Meaning, the Opposition views will dismantle the narrative mentioned by Devin Nunes. Therefore, the letter to the Public from the White House saying it is not possible. However, there was no issue of information or troubles doing the same for the ruling party Republican’s and Nunes to release his. So the President can allow the Memo to be released if it is revised, and then claiming that to be in favor of transparency! So if the narrative of the Memo is changed to fit the program of the White House, it is possible to be released is the technical term of the letter of yesterday. That is what initially Counsel to the President Donald McGahn III wrote in the last paragraph in his letter to Nunes on the 9th February 2018.

All parts of the Bureau and the Department of Justice leadership is Republican, just like the House and Senate is the same. Therefore, the narratives that is favorable, would come from the Republican. That is why we are not seeing the Democratic Memo. Not that I need to see it, but the changing dynamics and the special favors of the White House with the release of Nunes Memo, is evident. You cannot unleash possible intelligence from one camp into one investigation and not unleash from the other party. That is just plain stupid. Even if I don’t think I would be more enlighten by the 5th February Memo. So concerning the affairs of the Banana Republic created by Trump. This sort of drama is a proof of the non bi-partisanship that is in DC at the moment. It is all republican and the rest gets a gentle F-U-C-K Y-O-U. Just in nicer terms like these: “Accordingly, we are once again treating the Committee’s action as request for declassification pursuant to the President’s constitutional authority”.

This proves that President does whatever he can to make himself look better, even without knowledge of the intelligence released. Even the efforts to thwart and silence other views like this. That is why anyone questioning and looking into it, been called fake news. Republican’s knows the deep waters, but trying to sink the sub-marine. We just have to see how it goes. I just cannot wait to read the deposition and the collected evidence from Mueller, when that comes and revealed. That will be damaging and also prove that its far from a hoax and nonsense as the Right Wing try to say the whole time.

However, people like me are not buying it, just like I didn’t buy it from the same Right Wing narrative that Iraq under Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). You thought we forgot the charade and drama created around the George W. Bush Presidency to invade the Middle Eastern Country? They are using the same techniques and stories, to deflect from the lacking evidence. The Republican Party are trying to associate all questioning with anti-Patriotism, however, it should be unpatriotic to collude with Russian to get power. Also have trouble with understanding how low the Republican’s goes to defend the possible treasonous behavior and lack of intolerance against their own republic. It’s like they are all Brutus and are happy they paid him to kill Cesar! Peace.

Russian Probe: Awaiting a blockbuster reading the Nunes Memo, but it was all rotten tomatoes!

I was today anticipating the biggest blockbuster, the biggest most bold and brilliant Memo. The Republican Devin Nunes Memo, made by the Californian lawmaker. Clearly this is no Stephen Spielberg movie, this is no movie with Jennifer Lawerence or Benedict Cumberbatch. I was expecting fire and fury. It was supposed to blow my mind. If not, why all this drama of not unleashing the Democratic Party Memo and this?

Why are this such a big deal? That President Donald J. Trump wants to obstruct the Russian investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Because he is afraid of what he will find with his indictments and the things Trump is trying to hide. That is why Trump does whatever he can to dismiss, dismantle and destroy Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), because they are investigating him and he cannot counter-sue it to oblivion like he could like a business-man of some strange sort.

So that he would unleash a possible confidential information within the memo. Proves that the Law and Order President, only care for law and order, when he detains other than himself or his party. David Nunes isn’t the brightest fellow on Capitol Hill and that is proven with this one. Instead of letting a blank being in the chamber, he tried a shot and thought he would kill deer. The only thing he killed was possibly his career or proving his loyalty to Trump. Who will use him like condom, like the ones he used with Stormy Daniels. Well, that is another dirty story for bad tabloid. Not me, though Trump and the Porn Star story deserves total scrutiny, in the sense and levels of Barrack Obama wearing a brown suit. Check that up and see how much that was written about that crap.

Well, back to the nonsense of the obstruction of justice, because they want to make it harder and leave breadcrumbs around trying to validate a reason to stop the investigation of Trump. It’s proven again that the Republican’s doesn’t care or listen to Democrats, just like they did when the government was shut-down. They are majority, so they do as they please, but the efforts to thwart the investigation. Proves how far the President will go. Unleash state secrets to the public to save his own skin. The constitution, protocol or even breaking the norm doesn’t matter to him. Just his own ego and ass.

Donald Trump is an ass, the biggest asshole in a long time running a Nation. That is why he used his White House Counsel Donald McGahn II to address the legal matter and importance, because Trump cannot answer or take responsibility for the acts of destruction against Department of Justice and his own Attorney General Jeff Sesssions. Also the attacks in general on the FBI and the rest of the intelligence organizations within the state. He will leave no stone unturned to fix his predicament.

That Devin Nunes wrote a Memo on 18th January 2018, that isn’t surprising. That he is trying to make the Steele Dossier look like a smirk job is hilarious, considering the implication and that both Dutch and United Kingdom Intelligence has verified parts of it. That he tries to pin it on Hillary Clinton and such, that is political statement and not news. Trump would pin aids, cancer and ebola on Clinton if he could. In this regard, Nunes is only following his orders from the White House.

What is amazing that there are supposed no connection between Carter Paige and George Papadopoulos, which is striking in itself. Since they we’re both in the Trump Campaign and working to get Trump elected. Secondly, the we’re both aides and worked to generate support both in Russia and in Greece. Papadopolous has already pleaded guilty and is co-operating, while Paige is still working on his matter before Mueller. Paige already has a profile and been followed, because of his ties to Moscow. So with that in mind and Russia hasn’t really been a friend, there been Russian spies in the United States who has been expelled. Therefore, that government surveillance on Paige shouldn’t be striking. More evident of how reckless the Trump Campaign was and used the Americans with Russian ties. To secure a benefiting relationship with Russian counterpart and their priorities. Because the Trump Presidency are afraid of when the pieces are collected together. That is why the Memo had to be released. Not that confidential memos usually are released hot-cakes, but maybe that is the future of the White House. Since they are not caring, can we get the memos from former FBI Director James Comey and all others than reveal more facts into the Obstruction of Justice case of Trump.

So now the nonsense is out and the supposed big booming memo is unleashed, we can now scrutinize the White House and the Nunes, who had an agenda, but instead shooting themselves in the foot. That the American government are having secret surveillance on American Citizen’s make sense; because US Citizen are in possible cahoots with a foreign enemy states, which happens to Russia like Carter Paige. So it is not strange that there was more extensions of so and that the FBI continued to investigate it. It only suddenly matters because the person was connected to the Trump Campaign and was in meetings with people in and around Trump. That is why the President is pissed, because he found out someone was under surveillance because of their connections. So it is the company that he kept and their history is following them. Just like former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort and Richard Gates who are indicted too, who has to many connections to Ukraine and Russian oligarchs. Therefore, Nunes, who knows this is trying deflect the issues with this sort of play.

The cards are already play and the Trump Campaign, the White House and aides around the Republican Party are trying to sort this out; however they are not good at it. It is a reason why Trump cheats on the golf-course and also on his marriage. Because he isn’t loyal and cannot be honest. That is proven, that’s why the confidential can released, since it was to help his case. Clearly it doesn’t, this should make Nunes a laughing stock in DC. He deserves it, because this Memo isn’t working as salvation, this is made for their own crucifixion. Peace.

The New York Gang doesn’t want to sanction Russian’s like the Congress do!

Today, 180 days after the ‘H.R.3364 – Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act’, an act where the United States Government could sanction Russia, Iran and other countries, that the United States have less favorable relationship with. This was a reaction by the Congress, that got unanimously support in both the House of Representatives and in the Senate. On the 25th July 2017, the House of Representatives voted for it 419 for it and 3 against it. Two days later on the 27th July 2017, the Senate voted, 98 for it and 2 against it. Therefore, of the lawmakers in the United States. They was all for it, in the sense of protecting the Republic from foreign powers and sanctioning them for interfering.

Clearly, the White House and the Donald Trump Administration see it otherwise. Since they are using part of the law to their advantage. So they don’t have to enact or add sanctions on Russia. It is weird, but they are writing a waiver by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who wrote to Chairman of Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Representative Edward R. Royce this on the 29th January 2018:

The guidance established a multi-factor approach to determining what constituted a “significant” transaction that includes, but is not limited to, the significance of the transaction to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, including its relation to cyber misconduct; the nature and magnitude of the transaction; and the relation and significance of the transaction to Russia’s defence and intelligence sectors more generally” (…) “We engaged in extensive consultations and “deep dives” with the relevant country desks at the Department of State and the Department of Defense to promulgate a comprehensive approach to implementing the legislation, identify opportunities and challenges for implementation in each affected relationship, and develop engagement approaches integrated with the entire range of bilateral priorities at stake. We extensively engaged the private sector, bot via in-person meetings and by responding to the many inquires received through our public web address, to promote compliance and identify private sector challenges” (Rex Tillerson waiver to Edward R. Royce on H.R. 3364).

We can wonder what sort of Bilateral Priorities means, as this is politician lingo, to say things of importance without specifying. If this is ExxonMobile Contracts to extract petroleum together with GazProm, who knows. If there are other initial priorities that we don’t know about. The DoD and DoS are using one by sentence to not add sanctions on Russia, and it can make any thinking man wonder:

This is taken from Sec. 231:

(1) a written determination that the waiver—

(A) is in the vital national security interests of the

United States”

(c) DELAY OF IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS.—The President may delay the imposition of sanctions under subsection (a) with respect to a person if the President certifies to the appropriate congressional committees, not less frequently than every 180 days while the delay is in effect, that the person is substantially reducing the number of significant transactions described in subsection (a) in which that person engages” (H.R. 3364) .

We can wonder what vital national security interests that the President Trump and Secretary Tillerson are seeing within Russia. Is the Pee-Pee tape with hookers, that the Kremlin might have? Is it possible hacked documents from the Trump Campaign. Is the possible ties to Russian Mobs and Russian Laundromat for fueling black-market monies and white-wash them for Russian Oligarchs through the Trump Organization? Is the help of Russian agents and operatives during the 2015 and 2016 Campaigns before the election victory of President Trump?

That is just simple questions we are awaiting answers on and hoping the Special Counsel Robert Mueller can answer these and find the evidence of the involvement with Russian’s in the Elections in 2016. All of the connections between the Russians and Trump. That has been uncovered with time, and more and more questions have been arisen. They will not become smaller while the investigations linger and the knowledge of the collusion from Russian operatives within the United States Presidential Election, the in-action from the current administration is saying more than words.

That the Trump Administration who has enough problematic sources, enough trying to fire anyone who investigate into the Russian Collusion, fires anyone and questions the intelligence organizations who has warned of the Russian interference. Are still being silenced. Just like former FBI Director James Comey. Also, now FDI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The firing of Attorney General Sally Yates. And all the former who was Attorney General of Southern New York Phreet Bharara, who was also fired by Trump. Anyone he can get haul of will he fire or make it an easy with. We can just await Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who haven’t been loyal enough to Trump (in his deluded mind) and also Deputy General Rod Rosenstein, who got Special Counsel Mueller to start investigations into his affairs. We just know there will be more men to block and silence, so that people will not know the ugly truth between the Trump Organization, Trump Campaign and Russian interference. Which is evident, as the meetings, documentation and the help that is going-on until this day.

And it is not easy to escape anymore as the net is circling around the White House. With the plea deal made with Michael Flynn. The indictments of former Campaign Manager Paul Manafort and aide Richard Gates. Together with the George Papadopoulos a former campaign aide who has also told his stories to investigation. For whatever bread-crumbs these gentlemen are leaving behind, as well as the interviews and subpoena’s that the Grand Jury is delivered can clearly indict more people inside the White House. This sort of allegations and also counts who has been charged with is damning. It isn’t a civil suit, it is serious tampering of the state as agents of a foreign power. That is not something that should be taken lightly.

Therefore, that the Trump Administration isn’t answering or adding any sanctions to the Russians after 180 days, only delivering a kitty cat report of possible subjects and close aides of Putin. Shows that Trump is afraid of the consequences of adding on the already Russian sanctions made by the Obama Administration. This after all intelligence organizations are saying that the Russian did interfere and no question of a doubt. It’s like the Trump administration thinks people are stupid and ignorant. Many are because they are looking at Fox News, believing what nonsense they are saying as truth.

That is why President Trump and Tillerson is off the chain, showing more loyalty to Kremlin, than to Congress. They are showing more solidarity with Russians, than with Americans. They are actually pushing for less interference from the Americans towards Russians. It is backwards…

I still wonder, what “bilateral priorities” did Tillerson have in mind? Are they what we think they are or is it something else. Since it isn’t like people in Detroit are lining up to Russian motorcars or power-tools! How often has you seen Lada on the streets of New York? That is what you should wonder about. Because this doesn’t make slightest sense, as all of the clues that isn’t connected yet, but hopefully pieced together by Mueller. So he can report with evidence and transactions done between Trump and Russians. Peace.

Russian Probe: Mueller update on the indictment of Gates-Manafort are compelling!

On the 12th January Special Counsel Robert Mueller gave a Status Report to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This Status Report was on the indictment and investigation into Robert Gates and Paul Manafort. We can see by the information that the investigation are getting enough documentation and evidence to build a case against these gentlemen. They already have criminal counts on them and within this update, they are describing what sort of material they have collected.

If Manafort and Gates should be worried, they should be know. If they have documentation that also connects directly to the Trump Organization or the Trump Campaign. Knowing the connection between the gentlemen and the Trump inner-circle is well-known. Manafort was even running the campaign for a long while for the now President. So its not like he was random fella picked up on the streets in and around the Trump Tower in mid-town Manhattan, New York.

What Mueller was stating was this:

As of the date of this filing, the government has completed a substantial portion of the discovery in this case, including the following: a. more than 590,000 items1 in load-ready format, including (but not limited to) financial records, records from vendors identified in the indictment, email communications involving the defendants, and corporate records; b. approximately 2,200 documents that the government has identified as “hot” documents” (…) “On December 20, 2017, the government made its fifth discovery production, consisting of, among other things: (1) a hard drive with 123,000 separate items in load-ready format, (2) copies of thirty-six electronic devices and/or media,3 and (3) nine additional “hot” documents” (…) “On January 12, 2018, the government made its sixth discovery production, consisting of, among other things: (1) a flash drive with approximately 50,000 separate items in load-ready format, (2) approximately 7000 pages of additional financial and other records, including additional foreign bank records obtained after the commencement of discovery, (3) approximately 120 additional “hot” documents, (4) two additional search warrants and related applications, and (5) imaged copies of fifteen devices and/or media seized from Manafort’s residence” (…) “The government will continue to make additional rolling productions of load-ready documents, including of documents obtained on an ongoing basis. The government expects to make its next production early the week of January 15, to include copies of six additional devices/or media that will be provided to both defendants. Thereafter, two additional devices seized from Manafort’s residence will remain to be produced to Gates. These devices are currently in the process of being reviewed by a separate team to identify privileged material that will not be produced to Gates” (United States District Court for the District of Columbia, 12.01.2018).

We can see how diligent the FBI investigation and the Special Counsel Mueller is when concerning his case. The build-up and the drop of “hot” documents, proves that they have evidence of illegal activity already within both financial documents and also possible other affairs. As the counts of criminal conduct already been dropped, we can have an idea what sort of connections and sort of paper trail the two indicted men has left behind.

We can just imagine what sort of details and breadcrumbs that are within the material the investigation has alone on this gentlemen. That Manafort and Gates has left behind important information in these documents towards the Russian probe. They should clearly have something in the emails, in the transactions and all through. Surely, the should be something in a big in all of this. Even in it be able to hook people higher up the food-chain. If it would be Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Junior, Ivanka Trump and even the unstable misdemeanor Donald J. Trump. Surely, they are all connected and implicated in the paper trail left behind here. It would be strange if there wasn’t anything, as the Campaign and the Manafort effort was together. There should be some shared information in between the emails and within the documents.

I would really look forward to see the collected and intelligence inside this, to see what these gentlemen has done and why they are under house awaiting trial and motion schedule, which is now put to be on the 14th May 2018. We have to see if there will be more drop of information and documentation into what criminal activity these two has done. Peace.

Russian Probe: The New York Gang stumbles as the Mueller investigations obtains critical E-Mails from the Trump Transition team!

You know that the New York Gang aka the Trump Administration suffers another big blow. As the reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller got the E-Mails from Government Services and Servers to his investigation in the Russian Probe. Clearly, they are worried, as the Legal Team of the Transition and the Trump Administration has sent letters to the Congress. They are saying it is a breach of Privacy, even if it was on “work” e-mail or even on government sanctioned space, which means there are different rules, than on a private e-mail server or public. Where the state needs to follow other guidelines to get the information or the e-mails in question. The ones working in the Transition Team signed-up and also indicated the usage in the agreement before getting the accounts. Therefore, their complaint is without merit. Just one that concern.

Here is the big scoop!

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has obtained “many tens of thousands” of Trump transition emails, including emails of Jared Kushner, transition team sources tell Axios. Trump officials discovered Mueller had the emails when his prosecutors used them as the basis for questions to witnesses, the sources said. The emails include 12 accounts, one of which contains about 7,000 emails, the sources said. The accounts include the team’s political leadership and the foreign-policy team, the sources said. Why it matters: The transition emails are said to include sensitive exchanges on matters that include potential appointments, gossip about the views of particular senators involved in the confirmation process, speculation about vulnerabilities of Trump nominees, strategizing about press statements, and policy planning on everything from war to taxes” (Allen, 2017).

For those complaining that the Mueller investigation got the E-Mails. Let just show how the Department of State are addressing E-Mails: “Electronic mail messages that meet the definition of records in the Federal Records Act (44 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.) are covered under the same disposition schedule as all other Federal records. This means that emails you send us will be preserved and maintained for varying periods of time if those emails meet the definition of Federal records. Electronic messages that are not records are deleted when no longer needed” (U.S. Department of State).

So it seems strange that the Trump Team and Trump Administration with their legal advisors having trouble that the FBI investigation have gotten the e-mails from them. The stories told in them and the timelines might give the investigation more reasons for the collusion with Russia. Even say more about their direct contact with Russian Operatives, that we haven’t known yet. They might even have more damaging intelligence on how they was operating in general.

The New York Gang should be worries, since there are already two people who have pleaded guilty, Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos. Together with the ones who is also charged Paul Manafort and Richard Gates. There are clearly stuff going-on that are collected and that Mueller is looking into. That President Trump and his team is worried about. Which is the whole reason for the Fox News attacks on the obtaining of E-Mails. While the station was bitching for months, that the FBI had to search Hillary Clinton servers again and again. The ironies cannot be written big enough on the wall. Not even on billboards on the avenues of New York.

The investigation are clearly going into interesting territories now, as there was just about a week or two ago, when Mueller subpoena the Duetche Bank for records on Trump and Trump Organization. This will tell stories that might hurt Trump even more, since his business dealings is kept a secret. Because, there must be something shady hidden there, since he is afraid of keeping it public.

The Mueller investigation just litigated and obtained Federal Document. Nothing else, accounts and E-Mails that was put on state property and through state services. These can be obtained and can be accessed by an investigation. There are different rules and different sentiment to that. This is not some random spot check without concern of privacy regulations. That is why the Legal Team of Trump wrote letters to the Congress and not to Mueller. Since they have no merit and cannot stop them from seeing and analyzing the e-mails. If the Trump Transition Team had been clean and had nothing to hide. They wouldn’t scream like cry-babies. Secondly, if your doing crime, don’t do it on public property; you do it in a secret den of thieves and not on the boulevard.

This should be settled. It is very much smoke, but no fire. Unless, some of the E-Mails are released or some of the possible conversations between the Transition Team is talking reckless. If they all are as bright as Donald Trump Jr. then it is picking for Mueller. He has not proven to be most brilliant New Yorker. The net is cast and the fishes are caught. Now we can just await the next move by Mueller and see what he finds. Peace.
