Tuesday. What could happen on a Tuesday?

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS PAID $230,000 TO TRUMP LAWYERS

Per Politico a couple minutes ago, the RNC has paid nearly a quarter of a million dollars for Donald Trump’s criminal attorneys. More legal fees were also paid by his presidential campaign.

This is ridiculous, outrageous, but not illegal. Private campaign funds can, and have been used for legal expenses since 2008 when Obama eschewed public financing. Usually, these fees are for recounts, random lawsuits from vendors, little things like that. Trump is the first president to use campaign funds to pay for lawyers in a criminal investigation.

The part that should upset every person in this country is that a purported multibillionaire won’t pay his own legal fees.

The part that should piss off every Republican is using party money to pay for these lawyers. Money that could be used to finance a congressional race is instead paying for a traitor’s lawyers.

FEC MEMBER RECEIVED DEATH THREATS FOR PROPOSING ONLINE CAMPAIGN RESTRICTIONS

From Quartz, a Federal Election Commission member spoke out in 2014 about applying the same disclosure restrictions to online ads as television and print. That ended in her leaving the FEC, and receiving multiple death threats.

Ann Ravel predicted the Russian interference in 2014, and even used them as the primary reason why these restrictions should be put in place. The vote was 3-3 along party lines. All the Democrats voted for the restrictions. The Republicans voted against it.

COHEN SCREWED UP, WILL BE TESTIFYING BEFORE SENATE IN PUBLIC

When the Senate Intelligence Committee tells you to STFU, you STFU.

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s long time personal lawyer, released a press statement about his planned testimony to the SIC behind closed doors. They didn’t like that.

The SIC canceled their scheduled meeting today, and told Cohen that they’ll see him in public testimony. He can either show up willingly, or they can subpoena him. His choice.

DONNIE JR. WANTS TO GET RID OF SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION

In other news, Don Jr. wants to get rid of his Secret Service protection. He claims that it’s so he can get some privacy.

If this were a D&D game, I’d be making a sense motive/bullshit check right now.

Don’t be surprised if he tries to flee the country. Don’t also be surprised if he tries, and gets picked up almost immediately.

These people aren’t bright.

There’s a very good chance that every Intelligence agency around the world has eyes on all the kids. Australia knows when Eric drops a deuce. France knows when its Tiffany’s time of the month. Germany knows that DJ is planning to flee, and will know before either Donald Trump will know, and one of them will be the guy running.

Daily Check-In 9/18/2017

Monday. What could possibly happen on a Monday?

MANAFORT CAUGHT ON FISA WIRETAP. CONFIRMED BY CNN.

Months ago, Louise Mensch reported that Paul Manafort was under a FISA wiretap during the election. Someone else reported that he had one on him from 2014 for his dealings with Viktor Yanukovych smuggling money out of Ukraine.

Well, CNN reports that both claims are right.

Paul Manafort had TWO FISA warrants on him. One from 2014, and one in 2016 to 2017, before and after the election.

It gets worse. Guess who Paul had constant contact with, from the campaign through to his new job as President?

If you guessed Danny DeVito, what the fuck is wrong with you? Danny is a classy man who wouldn’t hang around with criminals like that.

If you guessed Donald Trump, you got it in one.

This is called incidental collection. If person A is under surveillance, and they talk with person B about some illegal stuff, they can both be in trouble.

If Chief Wiggum had a wiretap on Fat Tony, and Fat Tony met with Joe Quimby about destroying the nursing home and pocketing the cash, they’re both in legal jeopardy.

So, expect a line of everyone who talked to Paul Manafort to start in front Mueller’s office tomorrow.

MUELLER TELLS MANAFORT TO EXPECT AN INDICTMENT

No pressure. From The NYT, after Manafort was served with a no-knock midnight raid, Mueller told him to expect an indictment.

Ouch. If he wasn’t a treasonous piece of shit who profited off of human suffering and war crimes, I might almost feel bad him.

TWO LAWYERS GO TO A STEAK HOUSE FOR LUNCH, AND THE NEW YORK TIMES OVERHEARS

Some people were calling this the epitome of stupidity when Ty Cobb and Jon Dowd, lawyers for Donald Trump, had lunch Sunday at BLT Steak House, and discussed their case in the open. In particular, they discussed how White House Counsel McGahn was holding back, and how multiple people have likely flipped and are wearing wires.

Why was that stupid?

Because BLT Steak House is right next to the D.C. branch of the New York Times.

A restaurant that has a very high likelihood of multiple journalists hanging out there.

Think about that for a moment, and let me tell you why this was on purpose, and not as stupid as others make it out to be.

So, let’s say for a moment, that you’re a shady lawyer, having an argument with another lawyer, and their actions are directly hurting your client. You don’t trust anyone in the building, but you know it’s a high profile case, and you want to get the press to run your story. But, if you go directly to the press, you’ll get fired, disbarred, and who knows what else.

What do you do?

You go to where the journalists eat lunch. And you bring a co-worker, so you can talk about lunch, write it off, and expense it to your client, while the client still has money.

Drip, Drip, Drip

This article is a little change of pace from the normal daily posts, and jumps into the realm of speculation. I’m going to answer a question I’ve seen on Reddit and Twitter several times since this whole mess started.

“If it’s as bad as they’ve said it is, and the spooks knew, why are we just getting a piece or two at a time?”

The first part refers to the theft, espionage, and treason committed by Donald Trump, his staff, campaign, and the Republican Party.

Spooks in that sentence refers to spies, like the CIA, NSA, MI6, FVEY, and every other country in the world.

The last part is about the steady pulse of information and stories coming out about the investigation, like a faucet dripping.

To answer this question, I’d like to War Game out what I think could have happened had we gotten the whole story at once.

For this exercise, just like in Geometry class, we need to state our assumptions.

ASSUMPTIONS

At least 70% of the rumors are true. Trump, his staff, family, and Campaign committed election fraud, espionage, and treason with the Russians reporting to Vladimir Putin.
The Right Wing Media, including Fox News, Breitbart, Daily Caller, snd InfoWars, knowingly spread propaganda originating from Russia.
Russian money was laundered to the Republican National Committee, and that the leaders of the Party assisted in those matters.
Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit not only let Russians use their platforms to spread propaganda and influence the election, but those platforms profited from it.
Intelligence organizations the world wide knew all of the above.
All of the events up to the election are the same.
All events in this War Game are based off of a quick strike hypothesis, in which the Obama government moves fast after the election.
Following Murphy’s Law, several things go wrong. Horrifically wrong, and at the worst time.

WAR GAME TIMELINE

November 8, 2016

Election Day. Even though Donald Trump loses the popular vote by more than 3 million votes, he squeezes out a minuscule margin in three key states to win enough presumptive votes in the electoral college to become the assumed President-Elect.

November 9, 2016

While the MSM starts asking what went wrong, President Obama meets with the National Security Council. They know what they know, and have three choices. They can either act swiftly to stop Trump from becoming President, let jurisprudence take its toll, or let our allies handle Trump.

This is where the War Game diverges from the regular timeline. In this War Game, Obama chooses to remove the Trump threat immediately. Operation: Bystro (fast in Russian) is authorized. Donald Trump will be arrested right away, along with his family members, staff members, Vice President-Elect Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Jason Chaffetz, several Russians involved that live in the United States, and several people at Fox News like Sean Hannity and Rupert Murdoch, as well as people at Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Breitbart, and other websites. On top of these arrests, several media outlets would close to control panic and the narrative.

It’s decided that since most of the principals will be in Washington the next day, the move will be made when Trump visits the White House.

Several people question the timing of implementing this plan so quickly. If one piece of the operation misses the window, then there could be a disaster.

Still, the administration presses on with Operation: Bystro.

November 10

Trump meets with Obama in the White House. Everything seems like normal, until senior FBI officials walk into the meeting, joined by the head of the Secret Service. The SS Agents are confused as the FBI officials make their way to Trump and arrest him for a whole slew of charges, including espionage.

Across town, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are picked up from a meeting they were attending. Jeff Sessions is arrested at his office.

In New York, Don Jr. and Eric are in Trump Tower with their families. Paul Manafort is downstairs in his suite.

A ruckus is raised outside as a squad of FBI agents roll up to the building.

Across town, the Fox News HQ is about to get some unexpected visitors.

The plan has kicked off, and not even a half hour in, the first SNAFU occurs. One of Rudy Giuliani’s moles finds out about the plan and informs Rudy, right before being rounded up. Rudy calls a producer at Fox News just minutes before the FBI gets there and breaks the story that Donald Trump has been arrested, and that the rest of the family, and his staff, are wanted. Rudy hops in his car and leaves his place, moments before the G-Men get there.

As Fox News is breaking this story, they go dark. In mid-sentence, they go dark.

Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit are visited by FBI Agents in San Francisco. Their presence is tweeted and retweeted millions of times that day. The three biggest social media sites start acting a little wonky, then go silent.

The White House announces that they will hold a press briefing at 15:00 EST, followed that evening by a national address by President Obama.

Jared and Ivanka are airborne at the time, but they’re alerted to these developments by Rudy. They instruct the pilot to get out of American air space as quickly as possible. The pilot complies.

Mike Flynn and his son are also arrested in New York.

The next disaster of the day occurs at Don Jr.’s arrest. One of his bodyguards opens fire on the FBI agents, and is killed.

Carter Page, thinking he’s some kind of hero, greets the agents coming to arrest him with a shotgun. One agent is hurt, but not killed. Carter is killed in response.

At 15:00, the White House releases a statement, saying that neither the President nor President-Elect will be available for a press statement, and that President Obama will address the nation that night.

As this is going on, a lone reporter from the Washington Post gets a shot of Donald Trump and some of his cronies being escorted into the back of a van, and he’s wearing handcuffs.

Rudy Giuliani is stopped at a traffic stop a trying to get out of New York City. As the NYPD stops him, the FBI show up to apprehend him. This turns into a stand-off between the two law enforcement agencies. A minor scuffle breaks out between them, until senior officers from both sides show up to calm everyone down. They reach an agreement. Rudy will be allowed to be taken home, but he will be under house arrest until the morning, when he’ll be taken out of town.

Jared and Ivanka’s plane deviates from its flight path, and heads for the Caribbean. Air traffic controllers are confused by this move. Eventually, someone from the USIC informs them that the plane is full of fugitives. F-16’s are scrambled from Florida to intercept, but the plane is already within Cuban air space.

In the evening, news of Trump’s arrest hits the news, along with everything going on at Fox News, Facebook, and Twitter. Several people are seen leaving Fox News HQ under arrest, including Sean Hannity.

At night, President Obama addresses the nation. He announces that Donald Trump had been arrested for election fraud, money laundering, RICO, and espionage. He also goes on to indicate that the Russian Government had helped Trump steal the election, and that while they were still investigating whether actual votes were changed, he does admit that voting rolls were hacked, which caused millions of voters to be denied the right to vote. The nation is an in unprecedented constitutional crisis, but America will prevail.

MID-NOVEMBER

The country is dazed as, over the next couple weeks, more and more information comes out about the depths Donald Trump sunk to in order to win the presidency.

The government is shaken, as many members of the House and Senate were arrested for accepting campaign funds from Russia.

Right Wing Media doesn’t know how to react. On the one hand, Trump committed treason. On the other hand, screw Obama and Clinton. Many of the websites, like Breitbart and InfoWars, lose their hosting, but soon come back with Russian domains.

Twitter and Facebook return to semi-normal operations. Fox News remains off the air, as their role in spreading propaganda comes to light.

Alex Jones dies in a standoff with police executing an arrest warrant. After shooting at the police and killing two officers, he eventually takes his own life via shotgun haircut.

LATE NOVEMBER TO MID DECEMBER

Tensions are running high. Protests on both sides get ugly across the country. Violence occurs at one rally in Minneapolis, where Trump supporters attacked HRC supporters that were protesting a recent attack on a mosque. At least once a week, there’s an attack from one side or the other.

Jared and Ivanka show up on Breitbart Russia. They talk about being harassed on the run, and of their heroic escape from Cuba to El Salvador to China to Russia. This is completely made up, but Trump’s supporters eat it up with a spoon. They call on “true patriots to do what must be done.”

DECEMBER 19, 2016

The Electoral College, after being given a classified briefing on the election, vote in favor of Hilary Clinton to become the 45th President of the United States of America. She wins in considerable fashion, pulling in over 350 votes. Out of the remainder, about 40 of them still voted for Donald Trump, 100 abstained, and the rest split between John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. Tim Kaine becomes the Vice President.

LATE DECEMBER TO EARLY JANUARY

Tensions continue to rise throughout the country. Small bands of Trump supporters take up the call to “do what must be done.” Fringe groups on the right and left join together to take a stand against government tyranny.

JANUARY 3, 2017

In the most bizarre Congressional session in history, the Senate convenes and refuses to certify the previous election or the Electoral College counts. This standoff ends with a compromise. HRC will name several key members of the Republican Party to her cabinet, as well as offer amnesty to low-level Republican members of Congress that didn’t knowingly accept money from Russia or aid Trump, in exchange for certifying the election results. Clinton and Obama agree.

JANUARY 20, 2017

Hilary Clinton is sworn in as POTUS. Throughout the day, riots break out across the country. Protests and counter-protests turn violent.

From Russia, the cries for violence and revenge grow louder.

LATE JANUARY TO FEBRUARY

The first series of coordinated attacks takes place in Portland, OR, as white supremacists attack several mosques, temples, and synagogues in a 72 hour period. Similar attacks occur in South Carolina, Alabama, and Pennsylvania.

MARCH 6, 2017

Following repeated calls from Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump through Russian sponsored Breitbart, an assassination attempt is made on HRC. She escapes injured, but lives. The assassin was a male follower of the Alt-Right.

APRIL TO JUNE

The first trials begin in the espionage saga of United States vs Trump. Many staffers turn state evidence to implicate their bosses.

Michael Flynn is found guilty of espionage and sentenced to death.

Paul Manafort is found guilty of many crimes, and is sentenced to a very long stay in Federal prison, pending extradition to Ukraine.

Steve Bannon kills himself in prison awaiting trial.

JUNE 15, 2017

Another assassination attempt is made at Hilary Clinton, but this time she’s not so lucky. She was shot by a young woman who at first was a supporter of Bernie Sanders, but eventually joined Team Trump. This woman will turn out to be a Russian agent provocateur. HRC is shot three times, and spends two weeks in a coma. Tim Kaine becomes the Acting President.

JUNE 30, 2017

HRC is pulled off of life support and dies. Tim Kaine is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

SUMMER 2017

Nothing happens in the Congress as half of the House is in legal limbo, awaiting trial for election fraud and campaign finance violations. The Senate is in shambles as well.

Violence spreads across the country, with organized paramilitary groups openly taking part in armed attacks against government officials and buildings. The worst of these attacks takes place in Idaho, where the Governor called in the State Militia to try to keep the peace. It turned into a massacre as State Militia, US Military, and Armed Civilians attacked each other in Boise.

Evidence comes to light that Russia was behind not only Clinton’s assassination, but also the attacks in Boise and elsewhere. Relations with Russia reach an all-time low.

Tim Kaine, in an attempt at trying to heal wounds, nominates Lindsay Graham of South Carolina to be his Vice President.

By the end of Summer, there are an average of 30 Americans killed per week in acts of domestic terrorism. That number only increases as pressure on Russia increases and Trump’s trial gets closer.

CONCLUSION

If we were given all of the information at once, and if the authorities had acted at once, we would be in the middle of a civil war right now.

Some Americans could handle the truth, some of us were paying attention as this unfolded, but most people couldn’t handle it.

Had this unfolded, we’d call it a coup if it took place anywhere else. And rightly so.

This is why we’re getting all of this one piece at a time, like Johnny Cash’s Cadillac.

Thank you, and have a good one.

Daily Check-In 9/15/2017

It’s about time it’s Friday.

SENATE TO START BIPARTISAN COMMISSION ON ELECTION HACKING

According to this report, Senators Kirsten Gillebrand (D-NY) and Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) introduced legislation today to create a 9/11 style commission on election hacking and cybersecurity, in hopes to find out exactly what happened in 2016, as well as determining what can be done for 2018.

This is some pretty big news, for three reasons.

First, it’s a bipartisan effort to get to the bottom of the matter. For the last few months, The Changing Narrative has slowly slid from there was no collusion and there was no hacking, to that it wasn’t a big deal, to a “so what” attitude. Now, we’re finally getting the rank and file Republicans to admit that something was wrong, and that this needs investigation.

Second, it’s been obvious for a while that something was rotten with the 2016 election, but instead of having this kind of commission come from the Executive branch, like it should, this commission is coming from the Senate. The three branches of the government operate independently of each other, but in unison. Since the Executive branch didn’t create this commission, like they should have by March, it’s time for the Legislative Branch to pick up the slack.

Finally, as I said to finish the last paragraph, this should have been done by March. The fact that someone could lose the popular vote by over 3 million votes nationwide, yet win three crucial states by less than 71,000 people to clinch the Electoral College instantly places an air of illegitimacy around the victory. That’s less than the populations of Boca Raton, Florida, or Napa City, California. That’s almost exactly the population of Plum Borough and Penn Hills, PA. There are more undergrads at Penn State University, then the margin of victory for Donald Trump.

By creating a commission to investigate if there was any wrongdoing in the election, not only would it give the facade that he cared, but it would have let the country heal, and get on with the next mess. Instead, he trots out his racist rhetoric and insists that the only reason he lost was that 3-5 million people voted illegally. Aside from being wholly fabricated, and near impossible to pull off, the only anticdotes supporting this came from white people who saw brown and black people voting, and they got scared.

Here’s a couple predictions: The Russians, with the help key members of the Republican National Committee, and the Donald Trump Campaign, exploited several weak areas in the American Electoral System. These areas included cybersecurity, campaign funding, spreading of propaganda to target demographics using traditional and social media, propping up third party candidates, and modification of voter rolls in key districts that, when coupled with voter suppression tactics like ID laws, disenfranchised enough voters in key states that the actual hacking of voting machines may not have been needed, but would have been easier to execute, with the witting, but also unwitting assistance of Americans at every stage of the process. Some people, like Donald Trump and his staff, organized the actions from the top. Others, like members of the GOP who accepted laundered money from Russia, were complicit at the end. Many still, like your uncle or grandma on Facebook forwarding memes from “Crossing Borders” or “Heart of Texas”, were unwittingly participating in spreading Russian propaganda.

VICE PRESIDENT PENCE’S PRESS SECRETARY LEAVING POST

Per Politico, Mike Pence’s Press Secretary is stepping down at the end of the month. Marc Lotter has been with Mike Pence since his days in Indiana, and followed the former governor to the White House. He not announced any reason for stepping down, or what his next move is.

Something strikes me as weird here. Here’s a man who has worked with Pence for a long time, and followed him from Indiana to Washington, D.C. He uprooted himself, and his family if he has one, to work in the center of power. As the Russian Investigation heats up, he turns in his notice, and leaves without having another job lined up.

Granted, I’ve quit my fair share of jobs, some on good notice, some following a fist fight with the owner. But one thing I’ve always tried to do is make sure that I have a plan, or at least access to a plan. If I left a job without having something lined up, it’s because something felt fishy. Like the MLM company that was visited by the feds the week after I left, or the stereo sales company that had several people selling things other than speakers from the back of a van. Those, I left because my spidey sense was tingling, and that meant danger was afoot.

That’s why I think Marc Lotter quit his job. If he was leaving for a better paying job, or had another other, the story would have said so. Instead, that part was left open. With the Russian Investigation gaining more ground, I can see why Marc is getting out while the getting is good. He doesn’t want to be like the next guy.

MANAFORT’S SPOKESMAN SPENT TWO AND A HALF HOURS TESTIFYING BEFORE GRAND JURY

Jason Maloni, spokesman for Paul Manafort, testified before a Grand Jury today for more than 2.5 hours, as part of Robert Mueller’s investigation. Details are still sketchy as to whether he was testifying as a witness or a suspect, or both.

My hypothesis is that they’re coming after him as a witness at first, seeing what he knows about Manafort, and seeing if he knows anything they don’t. Not likely, but it’s worth a shot. If Mueller’s team catches Maloni lying, they’ll nail him with a perjury charge faster than Barry Allen doing the dishes. If Maloni tells them everything he knows, they’ll use him to bury Manafort. Once they have Manafort, it’s on to bigger fish.

FIRTASH EXTRADITION IMMINENT, WAS TAPPED BY USIC

The Chicago Tribune had a couple stories about Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian billionaire oligarch with ties to Paul Manafort. It looks like the United States is trying to extradite him from Austria to stand trial in Chicago, and at the base of this trial is “thousands of intercepts” in the possession of the USIC.

A few months ago, the Rumor Mill on Twitter was talking about how Manafort’s phone was hot-micked. Various IC agencies around the world had their eyes and ears on him, and hacked his phone with an SS7 exploit to turn it into an eavesdropping device at will. This is called a hot mic, for the term used to describe a live microphone in video and audio production. Some of the most embarrassing things are caught on a hot mic. It’s bad enough when it’s on a conference call for work, or a class project in front of the really cute girl in class, but when it’s German Intelligence doing it, it’s bad.

Along with the Manafort Hot Mic rumor, Dmitry’s name popped up a couple times as another target who’s phone was hacked. Since Mr. Firtash doesn’t belong to the Five Eyes, the USIC can have a field day with him, as long as they get approval for surveillance under FISA 702. Interesting how that number keeps coming up.

FACEBOOK GIVES MORE INFORMATION TO ROBERT MUELLER

Speaking of numbers, Facebook gave Robert Mueller’s team more of them. Facebook is cooperating with the Special Counselor on his investigation, and has disclosed more information to them than they disclosed to Congress.

I’m wondering, how much of that disclosure was voluntary, and how much of that came with a search warrant?

ROHRBACHER APPROACHED WHITE HOUSE OVER ASSANGE DEAL. KELLY TOLD HIM TO POUND SAND.

First off, I’d like to give a big, old FUCK YOU to the Wall Street Journal tonight. I know this isn’t very professional of me, but while finishing up this article earlier, I clicked on the last link I’d saved from earlier today, referencing an article from the Wall Street Journal, and some damn fine reporting about how Russia’s Favorite Representative, Dana Rohrbacher, had met with Julian Assange of Wikileaks, and had called the White House about a deal. When I clicked on that link that I had saved earlier, my browser crashed, the computer required a reboot, and I lost a solid couple hundred words about Joe Arpaio.

Now that I’ve got that out of my system, here’s a link from Business Insider. My favorite part of the story is twofold. First, Rohrbacher offered a deal to the White House. If they give Assange a pardon, he would give them proof that Russia was not behind the election hacks. Second, he talked to Chief of Staff John Kelly, who said that this info, if he had any, “was best directed to the intelligence community.”

Ouch. Hope the ACA can help with that burn.

The more I’ve learned about Rohrbacher this year, the more I’m convinced that he’s on Putin’s payroll. This man actually proposed giving Alaska back to the Russians on the House floor. He has repeated Russian propaganda talking points, even when they’ve been disproved, and his only committee work in the House deals directly with Russia. Meeting Julian Assange in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London, with Chuck Johnson by his side (more on that white supremacist piece of shit later), and phrasing the deal the way he did, shows that he’s either a Russian shill, an idiot, or both.

I’m not a lawyer, but if I’m ever in a position to offer someone a pardon in exchange for information they have, I want to corroborate the information first. They don’t get the pardon until AFTER I’ve guaranteed they aren’t trying to fuck me.

Plus, Julian Assange has more problems than just with Americans. He was involved with Brexit, LePen, the German Nationalist movement, and has leaked government secrets from pretty much every government in the world. If he’s looking for a soft landing, he’s in for a rude awakening. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone tries to apprehend him, or worse, the moment he steps foot outside of that embassy.

I’ll have to do a little digging, and see when Rohrbacher jumped on the Trump Train. That’s a piece worth looking into.

Finally, before I go for the night, I finally posted a link to this blog on Twitter. Not sure if anyone followed it yet, but it shows that I’m at least thinking of spreading the word about this site, and that I’m at least somewhat confident of my writing. The website layout is a different story.

Also, I love this quote from Katy Tur a few nights ago. I think I’ll keep it as part of my sign-off for a while.

“Without Journalists, it’s just propaganda.”
