Thursday, January 3, 2019.  First day of the new Congressional Session.

 

THE RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION

Guthrie: Should the special counsel honor and observe the Department of Justice guidance that states a sitting president should not be indicted?

Pelosi: Do I think that that is conclusive? No I do not.

Guthrie: So you think it’s possible that special counsel Mueller could legally indict a sitting president?

Pelosi: Let’s just see what Mueller does. Let’s spend our time on getting results for the American people.

Guthrie: As you well know, there is longstanding DOJ guidance that states a sitting president should not be indicted. But it is not the law.

Pelosi: It is not the law. Everything indicates that a president can be indicted after he is no longer president of the United States.

Guthrie: What about a sitting president?

Pelosi: Well, a sitting president, when he is no longer president of the United States.

Guthrie: A president who is in office? Could Robert Mueller come back and say, “I am seeking an indictment”?

Pelosi: I think that that is an open discussion. That is an open discussion in terms of the law.

 

From Russia With Espionage Charges

BREAKING NEWSPaul Whelan was discharged from the Marines because he submitted HIMSELF for various awards -Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medaletc via the online awards system of the Commanding General of the Third Marine Aircraft Wing.

BOOMWhelan’s attempts to fraudulently secure awards for himself through a system he had admin access to, was caught when the poorly written forms were flagged by the Commanding General’s staff.

Paul Whelan also falsified orders so he would not have to return to his primary unit in Michigan and he could stay at Miramar. He was also drawing BAH and Commuted Rations pay while living in an apartment in LaJolla when he lacked orders that he was stationed there

He was convicted at a special court-martial in January 2008 as a Staff Sergeant on several charges related to larceny and was given a bad-conduct discharge in Dec 2008 at the rank of Private- subsequently he gets no veterans benefits

Here’s my take… a Marine that would fake acts of bravery and service for commendations and awards he didn’t earn and would rather go to Russia on leave then be w family and friend is a perfect mark for the FSB to recruit. Kelly Services made a huge error in hiring him

If Whelan can lie about his record, falsify forms for pay, has zero honor or integrity -than he’s very capable of selling out to the Russians. As a global security expert he was privy to a lot of secrets, key cards, passwords, key codes, access to cameras

Perhaps Putin was telling the truth. Maybe Whelan was apprehended while on a ‘spy mission’- EXCEPT- he was on the mission so Putin could trade” him for Butina. CrazySure. But hasn’t it been insane for the last few years

Well… apparently Whelan was caught red handed at the Metropol Hotel w a USB drive he obtained from a Russian citizen. It’s data contained info on the makeup of staff of Russian Intel and Agencies. He’s in Lefortovo prison which is known for its very harsh conditions

Paul Whelan is in a “dungeon”.

A key goal will be to drum up as much concern for Whelan’s well being as possible so that the public outcry for the trade of Butina for Whelan is massive. Expect Russian bot and # hashtag participation in drumming up support for this “ex” marine

Putin and Trump did not realize that we would find out that the ex marine is not a patriot and that it would undermine our sympathy for him. He was basically attempting his own version of “stolen valor” by falsifying docs to make himself out to be a hero. It’s despicable

In addition, Whelan also used someone’s social security number and wrote bad checks, according to military court documents. A military judge also found him guilty of attempted larceny and three specifications of dereliction of duty

Russia is claiming that Whelan has spent 10 years cultivating acquaintances and friends through social sites in order to gather RU secrets- this time a flash drive w names of Russian spies at various agencies

The translation is rough, but it’s weirdly interesting…

 

No Honey pots for Paul Whelan… Russian intel services note that “it was striking that Whelan was not at all interested in pretty RU women, preferring to drink w male acquaintances of the Internet”

 

Paul Whelan’s lawyer in Moscow, Vladimir Zherebenkov, said his client “is confident and has a great sense of humor and hopes for objectivity of the investigation”

 

Vladimir Zherenbenkov, Whelan’s defense attorney, has represented some interesting defendants

Whelan‘s atty also represented Andrei Kovalchuk, charged with organising large-scale trafficking in cocaine from Argentina to Russia

Whelan, accused formally of espionage by Russia, has 59 friends on his VK page, including former students at the Military University of the Russian Ministry of Defence. He met w one VK friend in 2008

We aren’t the only ones curious that Ambassador Huntsman rushed to see Whelan. It was called a “rookie mistake” by a RU foreign policy analyst. “It esculates the situation…” Was it really a ‘mistake’ or part of a pre-arranged plan?

Whelan’s brother David isn’t aware if his brother Paul is still a Canadian citizen… Canada was briefed when Paul was detained that they had an Ottawa man in custody. My question: did Whelan use a Canadian passportWhy would Canada be notified

BREAKING NEWSWhelan’s attorney, Zherebenkov, is talking about a prisoner exchange”I myself hope that we can RESCUE and bring home one Russian SOUL” He’s talking about Maria Butina…

JFCNo self respecting lawyer or RU intel officer would refer to a male spy as a ‘Russian soul’ or use the term “rescue”… This ruse is becoming more transparent by the minute

Luckily, for Whelan, Vladimir Zherebenkov, his defense defense atty, is very familiar w extradition cases

Can anyone help me find the rest of Paul Whelan’s Court Martial

Venture Capital added,

Venture Capital @kelly2277

Here is the first page of Whelan’s Court Martial

This must have been planned by a mastermind C’mon, did Whelan really arrange a transfer of a classified USB in the Metropol hotel – the same day of his friend’s wedding and where he and other guests were stayingHe couldn’t have gone to a park? https://metropol-moscow.ru/en/offers/546/ 

The irony… it’s like when we found out Manafort was using 007 for his password. The Metropol was the hotel that Count Rostov lived in under house arrest in this novel

@detroitnewsadded that Whelan’s duties at Kelly Services put him in contact w an FBI division embedded in embassies overseas. That’s odd given that he was court martialed and discharged from the Marines. Why was he given these critical responsibilities at Kelly Services

 

 

 

CONGRESS

The first day of the new Congress, and the first day of the beginning of the end of the Trump Presidency.

I said I’d go into more detail, but the big points are covered already.  Nancy Pelosi, the boogeywoman of the Right Wing World, is now the Speaker of the House.  That makes her the second person in the Chain of Succession for the President of the United States.  In the normally-unlikely event that both the Pres and VP leave office around the same time, she would become the President.

It was a needlessly ugly fight, but I’d like to point out something.  In a span of about three weeks, she was able to whip together enough votes from the “No way we’ll vote for her” crowd and built enough of a coalition to win, while also giving enough wiggle room for the handful of candidates who ran on the “I won’t vote for Nancy” platform to not vote for her.  Plus, she hit the big hits on her acceptance speech, and within the first night passed the exact same spending laws that the Senate passed last year to reopen the government.

Will it always be smooth sailing?  Oh, hell no.  But, for the first time in a long time, there’s a sense of hope that part of the government will DO IT’S FUCKING JOB!

TRUMP THE RUSSIAN ASSET A.K.A. INDIVIDUAL-1

This video from Rachel Maddow is definitely worth watching.  Using multiple instances she asks a very simple question.

How is it that Donald Trump, an ignorant, bloated, lazy, idiotic waste of space pulls obscure Russian propaganda out of his ass and says it so well that he might as well work for the Politburo?

This isn’t a new thing for Trump.  After his trip to Moscow in 1987, the notoriously cheap man spent his own money on an Anti-NATO ad in the New York Times.  I covered him reciting their stuff on the campaign trail a couple days ago (Daily Check-In 01/01/2019), and this video brings up a couple weird Russian talking points, like blaming Poland for invading Belarus when it was Russia, or repeating Russia’s claims on how dangerous Montenegro could be if they joined NATO.  Then, Trump pulls the “They invaded Afghanistan to stop terrorism” spiel that is actually Putin’s ploy to rewrite history. (Daily Check-In 01/02/2019)

Considering that Trump is semi-literate at best, he’s probably not reading this in some obscure book on Eastern European history, so he’s getting this fed to him somehow.

Who’s feeding him the Russian talking points?

That’s it for Thursday.  I’ll see whether I’ll post Friday by itself or with the weekend.  Partly, it depends on how much happens and when I get time to write.

A spoiler for tomorrow, one story that I’m seeing is that 5 reps, 4 Democrats and a Republican, have just moved forward a resolution to create an amendment to the Constitution overturning Citizens United.  Hopefully I can go into more details on my next post.

 

Thank you, and have a good one.

THE RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION

I’m not surprised that the Russians would pull a tit-for-tat move, but I am surprised at the timing.  This move makes more sense back in the Summer.  Now, it’s so obvious that this is a political move that even if he was passing state secrets, it looks like it’s a political move.  Plus, I’d put dollars to donuts that Butina has already given some evidence and testified at least once before a Grand Jury.  Her words are on the record.

This is such bull***t. First it was a hoax. Then the science was uncertain. Then we were “alarmists.” Then any fix was too expensive. Now it will be fixed with “innovation.”

Sheldon Whitehouse Retweeted Sheldon Whitehouse

As the truth emerges, they just fall back to a more credible trench to defend the same industry and its same smelly lies and big fat subsidy. Give me a break.

Follow economics rule to put negative externalities in price (Econ 101); And you will get innovation out the wazoo.

Wanna starve innovation? Protect the fossil-fuel industry from fair competition (✅); Give it endless corporate welfare (✅); Provide no revenues for innovation (✅, except tiny @CCUSfund);

Defend the market failure fossil fuel lives by (✅)— Oh and keeping taking tens of millions in fossil fuel political contributions (check, check and keep those checks a-coming).

Bottom line? Anything that lets #Republicans defend fossil fuel donors while still having some public story line to sell…

That’s it for Wednesday.

As I’m typing this on Thursday, the House is voting for Speaker.  So far, the only four names I’ve heard people vote for are Pelosi, McCarthy, Jordan, and one person for John Lewis.  Make it 5 as Conor Lamb voted for Joe Kennedy.  Ok, 6 as one vote came in for Chris Murphy.

One thing that is funny is that while most people are just yelling out a name, every so often someone puts a bit more flair to their vote.  When they do, it’s usually followed by some little applause.  So far not one person has yelled “Sit the fuck down, Dave!”

Looks like Nancy Pelosi is the next Speaker of the House.  I’ll talk more about that tomorrow.

 

Thank you, and have a good one.

THE RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION

  1. Before the year is out….the evidentiary link between Wikileaks, Russian hackers, Kremlin disinformation outlet, and Donald Trump.

    In 2016, I received a phone call from someone in the intelligence world telling me to keep an eye on Sputnik that day. I did not know what….

2…it was. I was told it was a primary propaganda site operated by Russia to spew disinformation to affect global democracies, including the United States.

At this point, I am going to crush events into sequence of what happened, not what I learned when….

3…sometime before I received the call, Wikileaks had obtained John Podesta’s emails and pushed them out. One of those emails was then manipulated to make it appear as something it was not. Words from an article I wrote were placed in the mouth of a Hillary Clinton ally….

4…making it look as if even her confidantes were secretly blaming her for Benghazi. It was a fraud.

That fraudulent document was pushed onto twitter by @TEN_GOP, which posed as the Tennessee Republican Party. It was not. It was a Russian front. Mueller has since….

5…identified @ten_GOP as an account operated by Russian hackers. (It is part of indictment, see attached article.) The actual Tennessee Republican Party is a different account. I was told, in confidence by the intel guy, that the bogus document was first pushed out….

(forgot to attach article)

Fake Tennessee GOP Twitter account highlighted in indictment of 13 RussiansA defunct Twitter account is highlighted in a new federal indictment of 13 Russian nationals on Friday accused of attempting to meddle in U.S. elections.https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2018/02/16/fake-tennessee-gop-twitter-account-highlighted-indictment-13-russians/345835002/

6…now, this tweet from @TEN_GOP, the fake russian controlled account, was one of billions that day. It was traded among a group of different Russian accounts. In comes Sputnik, a Russian controlled “news” agency identified as a disinformation platform…

Nato accuses Sputnik News of being ‘Kremlin propaganda machine’Nato has accused Sputnik News of being part of a “Kremlin propaganda machine” distributing biased articles and “misinformation” to influence political opinion around the world. Oana Lungescu, the mil…https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/sputnik-news-russian-government-owned-controlled-nato-accuses-kremlin-propaganda-machine-a7574721.html

7…the writer of the Sputnik article has said that he obtained the bogus email from @TEN_GOP, a twitter account that Sputnik writers were following for some reason. The manipulated email was then used as the basis of a news article in Sputnik alleging that a Clinton confidante..

8…held her accountable for Benghazi. Since I knew the email was bogus – and that the words they were quoting out of context were mine, not the confidantes – I began to write a story.

Now, there is Sputnik (a Russian disinformation site), @TEN_GOP (part of the illegal….

9…Russian hacking effort), and the original Reddit account that pushed the document out onto the internet for the first time.

As I was typing my story, Trump was at a rally. This bogus document had been on the internet for a couple of hours. The Russian twitter accounts….

10…were pushing it around, apparently trying to make it go viral. Sputnik wrote about it.

And then, Trump read the bogus email out loud to his rally. Again, an email manipulated by Russians, pushed out by Russia, printed by Russia, into Trump’s mouth. In a couple of hours….

11…this one piece of information got from a Russian hacker to Trump.

I contacted my original source and got a few things clarified. At that moment, I understood the magnitude of what was going on involving @TEN_GOP, although I agreed not to disclose the account name….

12….I wrote the story, Newsweek printed it. And a firestorm was set off. A number of other journalists – who apparently made no attempt to contact any intelligence sources – considered it absurd that anyone would think Trump campaign had any connection to Russia. Skepticism…

13…based on personal belief, and not reporting, transformed rapidly into a coordinated defensive attack. The New York Observer, owned by Trump’s son-in-law, went after me, as did a number of other groups close to Wikileaks or Trump. In fact, according to one article….

14…about this, a number of the journalists attacking the story and me were in direct communication with each other by email, coordinating their efforts. (This attached piece is from the Daily Caller Foundation, which, whatever you think of DC, was the only publication to….)

15…do actual reporting on this matter.) Soon after, Sputnik launched an absurd attack on me, accusing me of offering bribes, lying, etc.

This ONLY ran in Sputnik. And almost immediately after it was published, the Trump Campaign emailed the link to the story to reporters….

16…covering the campaign and others. Read that again: A Russian propaganda outlet attacked an American reporter, and the Trump campaign almost immediately started pimping the story to reporters. Daily Caller Foundation is one of those that disclosed it received….

17…the email from Trump campaign. (See attached.)

18…so, here is where we stand.

Wikileaks obtains hacked Podesta emails.
Russian propagandists manipulate one email to make it say what it does not.
Russian reddit account pushes it onto internet.
Twitter account Mueller says in Russian scheme (@TEN_GOP) starts tweeting email..

19….Sputnik disinformation news service picks up bogus email from @TEN_GOPand writes bogus article.
Within an hour or so, Trump is reading the bogus email at a rally.
I write story exposing.
A group of journalists coordinate an attack on me by email….

12….Sputnik launches an attack on me accusing me of irrational crimes and lies.
Trump campaign immediately emails link to article from a Russian disinformation site to reporters, along with accusations against me.
The New York Observer, owned by Trump’s son in law Kushner….

13…picks up the Sputnik attacks and goes after me.

Reporters couldn’t see it back then. The importance of this – a back and forth link between Russian hackers, disinformation outlets and Trump campaign – seemed to unbelievable to be considered as true. But with the….

14..revelation by Mueller that @TEN_GOP was part of Russian scheme, someone must ask Trump – where did he get the bogus email? From @TEN_GOP, from Sputnik, or from some third party? And why his campaign pushing stories from a Russian disinformation site to attack the story?

Done

ADDENDUM: Whenever I write about these kinds of issues, my feed is swarmed by Russian trolls. So, enjoy watching them appear.

This is the story of how I jumped off the fence from “Maybe there’s a bunch of coincidences” to “this is fucking treason.”

In October 2016, Trump had a campaign rally in Pennsylvania when he quoted Russian Propaganda that didn’t appear in the U.S.  This was beyond fishy, and beyond coincidence.  The chain of custody on the story went Russian Hackers > Reddit > Russian Twitter Account TEN_GOP > Sputnik and RT > Trump and Breitbart.  By the time the story hit Breitbart, it was already debunked.   And it was debunked early.  Like first thing in the morning early.  The story went from “Paul Podesta is an asshole and a liar” to “Trump is quoting doctored emails on the campaign trail.”

Yeah, the Podesta email was doctored.  That one and a few others were released with edits in them that made them especially scandalous sounding.  The RWM ran with the fakes like their lives depended on it and never once acknowledged they were fakes or that they were played for patsies.  The only reason this story was pulled as fast as it was is because Russia pulled it.  Once they were caught with their hand in the cookie jar, they yanked the story.  Breitbart followed suit.

What I didn’t know at the time were the coordinated attacks against Kurt by the Wikileaks crowd, led by Glenn Greenwald.  And their attack was quick.  Damn quick.  Too quick for something on the fly.  This was the kind of coordination that someone planned for, a scenario designed to protect someone or something.  And they were able to coordinate with the Trump Campaign.  Think about how well they’ve been able to coordinate ANYTHING, then realize that they were on this faster than flies on shit.

Also, remember that Breitbart was run by Steve Bannon at the time. So while he’s working on the campaign, he’s using his website to push his agenda.  Breitbart was alerted to this at the same time as Trump.

Now that we know that TEN_GOP was a Russian account, that the GRU hacked and edited the emails, they had accounts on Reddit, and that Wikileaks was the outlet Russia used to release them to provide plausible deniability, here’s the updated chain of custody.

Russian hackers from GRU> Russian account on Reddit ran from IRA > Russian Account on Twitter ran from IRA (probably same person as the Reddit account) > Russian state propaganda outlet Sputnik > Trump’s Campaign.

The only non-Russian in that link is Trump’s Campaign.  Follow that up with a coordinated email and press attack from people that were so incompetent that they could fuck up a wet dream, and we’re looking at the first evidence of treason that couldn’t be talked away as coincidence or something else.

Yes, I’m using the T word a lot more from now on.  If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and tastes like a duck, it sure as shit ain’t a fucking moose.

I’m waiting to see who else joins in the race before I throw my support behind someone, but be sure of one thing; whomever wins the Democratic Primary will most likely be my choice candidate for President.  I say most likely because I’m not sure what the political landscape will look like in two years, and I’m not sure who will be running for the Republicans in 2020.  Assuming there’s a Republican Party in 2020.

 

PROGRESS IS PROGRESS

 

RUMOR MILL

I don’t know much about this guy, or where he gets his info, but he is followed by several people that normally appear here.  My guess is that this is related to the rumored list of senators that took Russian money in 2016.  Remember that there was talk that at the RNC Convention that GOP leadership worked with the Russians there to flesh out a plan to get Russian money into the election race, and the senators that accepted that money would be complicit in those crimes.  Hell, they most likely coordinated how it was spent.

 

That’s it for today.   Happy New Year.

I’ve got a few stories planned coming up based on some conversations I’ve had.

One will be an in-depth description of Trump’s mob ties.  There’s probably a couple books about that subject, but it’d be nice to pull that out on demand.

Another article is a debunking of Nationalism.  Not the racist part of it, but the “America First” mantra.  The argument for Nationalism is multifaceted, but flawed.

Finally, I’d like to address the mentality of self-handicapping during a fight.  More precisely, the hypocrisy used by some in a fight where they’ll make several low-blow attacks, but use one against them and they cry foul.

Given my track record on these posts, I expect to have one of them written by 2023.

 

Thank you, and have a good one.

Russia said Monday it had detained a U.S. citizen in Moscow and accused him of spying, in the latest alleged case of espionage between the two countries. The FSB, Russia’s feared domestic security service, said the American was arrested Friday “while carrying out an act of espionage.” Official Russian news outlets said the man had been identified as Paul Whelan, but no further details on his identity have been revealed. A criminal case has been opened, the FSB said in a statement, under an anti-espionage article of the Russian criminal code, which allows for sentences of as much as 20 years in prison. In his annual press conference this month, President Vladimir Putin accused Western nations of using espionage allegations to try to undermine an increasingly powerful Russia. Monday’s arrest comes days after Russian Maria Butina entered a guilty plea in Washington to acting as an illegal foreign agent. Butina faces just six months in prison, followed by likely deportation.
