Watch: CNN Anchor Gives Comey Surprise Treatment He Never Saw Coming By Cillian Zeal April 20, 2018 at 8:33am I have to give CNN’s Jake Tapper some credit. Sure, he sent some barbs Barack Obama’s way, but since then he’s mostly focused his invective on one Donald J. Trump. However, as it turns out, Tapper isn’t just an anti-Trump drone (although he does plenty of that, don’t get me wrong). In fact, he’s pretty much a crotchety old man in middle-aged reporter’s body who doesn’t take any guff from Washingtonian swine. This includes former FBI Director James Comey. Comey, as you might have heard a few hundred times or so, is currently on ...
On the Criminal Referral of Comey, Clinton et al

Will the Constitution Hold and the Media Continue to Suppress the Story? Wednesday’s criminal referral by 11 House Republicans of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as several former and serving top FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials is a giant step toward a Constitutional crisis. Named in the referral to the DOJ for possible violations of federal law are: Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey; former Attorney General Loretta Lynch; former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe; FBI Agent Peter Strzok; FBI Counsel Lisa Page; and those DOJ and FBI personnel “connected to” work on the “Steele Dossier,” including former Acting Attorney ...
Gina Haspel, Trump’s Pick to Lead the CIA, ‘Ran the Interrogation Program,’ Said Former CIA Lawyer

Gina Haspel’s disputed role in torture threatens to derail her nomination to head the CIA. In 2014, a senior ex-CIA official was unequivocal: She was in charge of interrogations. Long before Donald Trump ever nominated Gina Haspel to run the CIA, a memoir from a former CIA top attorney contained a line with the power to do serious damage to her chances. Haspel’s informal nomination ran into immediate jeopardy last month over her 2002 supervision of the agency’s first secret black-site prison, located in Thailand, where two early detainees, Abu Zubaydah and Abdul Rahim al-Nashiri, were tortured. (She directly ran the black site, though after Zubaydah’s most intense ...

He’s surrounded by liars, leakers, saboteurs, and traitors Poor Nikki Haley: she doesn’t get that having presidential ambitions and actually being the President are two different things! She went ahead and announced new sanctions on Russia – and was promptly contradicted by the White House, which averred that Nikki is “confused,” and that no new sanctions are contemplated. “I don’t get confused,” said Nikki – and yet she clearly doesn’t understand that nobody voted for her. They voted for Donald J. Trump, who campaigned on a platform of “Wouldn’t it be good if we could get along with Russia?” Trump’s preferred Russia ...

Bush Camp Gives Update on George HW After Wife of 73 Years Passes Away By Joe Setyon April 18, 2018 at 7:15am Former President George H.W. Bush was by his wife’s side up until the moment she died and is “broken-hearted” at her passing, his longtime chief of staff said Tuesday night. Bush was married to his wife, Barbara, for 73 years. Though the former president, 93, is devastated that she’s gone, he’s also being “stoic” and “strong” in the face of what his chief of staff, Jean Becker, called a “very challenging time.” “So many of you are asking, ‘How is 41?’ He, of course, is broken-hearted to lose his ...
James Comey Sees Himself as a Victim of Trump. He Refuses to See the Victims of the Justice System.

In his new book, James Comey portrays himself as a law enforcement saint who desires only the best for us, and the best is manifestly not President Donald Trump. But if you read “A Higher Loyalty” with more than its anti-Trump morsels in mind, a less benevolent version of Comey emerges — akin to the King George character in “Hamilton,” who lovingly sings to his rebellious American subjects, “And when push comes to shove/ I will send a fully armed battalion/ To remind you of my love.” Most stories about Comey’s best-selling memoir have focused on its Hamlet-like agonizing over his potential role in tilting the 2016 election, and his horror at ...
Senators Offer Up Unprecedented War Powers to President

New AUMF would cement forever war and give the phrase 'world police' new meaning. WASHINGTON — A bipartisan bill introduced in the Senate Monday would give the president sweeping authority to wage endless war anywhere in the world with limited congressional intervention. Perversely billed as a plan to “reassert” Congressional power to “authorize where, when and with who we are at war,” the proposal for a new AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) falls way short of that promise. In fact, it achieves quite the opposite. The bill, if passed, would not only codify all of the authority the president has now to fight Al Qaeda and Taliban and ...
US senator: Chemical attack used to ‘galvanize the world’ against Assad

PressTV... US Republican Senator Rand Paul says he has seen no evidence that could justify claims about the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad carrying out the suspected chemical attack in the town of Douma, and that the attack was used as a pretext to "galvanize the world” against the Syrian leader. "I still look at the attack and say, you know, either Assad must be the dumbest dictator on the planet — or maybe he didn’t do it. I have yet to see evidence that he did do it," Paul said in an interview with CNN on Tuesday. The Kentucky senator said it was unlikely that the Syrian government carried out the attack particularly after its forces have ...

Trump’s Disastrous Syria Attack

Over the weekend, President Trump celebrated firing more than 100 missiles into Syria by Tweeting, “Mission Accomplished!” They say if you cannot learn from history you are condemned to repeat it. So I guess we are repeating it. We all remember that “Mission Accomplished” was the banner behind then-President Bush as he gloated aboard a US navy ship that the war in Iraq had been won. After his “victory,” however, some 4,000 US military personnel were killed, perhaps a million Iraqis were killed, and the country’s infrastructure and social fabric were so badly destroyed that they probably can never be repaired. Actually, there is much about the US attack ...

Behind President Donald Trump’s bluster and threats over Syria, powerful forces are pushing the US towards war with Russia and Syria: the neocons and the military industrial complex. For a candidate who once proposed a normal relationship with Russia, just peace in the Mideast, and an end to America’s foreign wars Donald Trump is now hurtling towards a full-scale war with Russia and a new disaster in the Mideast. Not since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis has the danger of nuclear war seemed to close. While Trump fulminates about the alleged use of toxic gas in Syria, US B-1 and B-52 heavy bombers are flattening villages in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. The ...

Ahead of a summit next week between North Korean premier Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-In, lawmakers from the neighboring states were thought to be negotiating the details of a joint statement that could outline an end to the confrontation. Pyongyang and Seoul have technically been at war since the 1950-1953 Korean conflict ended with a truce — and not a peace treaty. | North Korean soldiers (L) look at the South side while US Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis and South Korean Defence Minister Song Young-Moo visit at the truce village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the border between North and South Korea on October 27, 2017.

It was a sad spectacle to see U.S. brass rubbishing the Constitution and trying to silence critics of the U.S. strike on Syria, says Ray McGovern in this commentary. Opinion — The U.S. Constitution and international law suffered a stinging blow last night at the hands of an odd coalition that might be called Goldilocks and two moral dwarfs posing as Marine generals, together with a “Right Dishonorable” harridan and a young French poodle. As was the case 15 years ago when the U.S. and UK launched a war of aggression against Iraq, the pretext was so-called “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD) — this time the claimed use on April 7 of chlorine (and maybe the ...

Friday night, April 13, in conjunction with Great Britain and France, President Donald Trump ordered an attack on Syria. And the unleashed war hawks were elated. Just to cite one example, Sebastian Gorka (who had been in the administration last year during the first Syrian “false flag” operation) literally proclaimed the coming of the Eschaton and America’s “divine role” to set right everything that is wrong in the world. Like an Abolitionist preacher of old, Gorka demanded a “moral cleansing” and, sounding like Osawatomie John Brown, proclaimed America’s destiny to go round the world, impose equality, and stamp out evil. And the question follows: ...

An apparent false flag chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma on April 7 has served as a pretext for the United States to threaten the Middle Eastern country with a missile strike; Russia has been calling for a transparent investigation while local doctors have said no one has requested any medical treatments for poisoning. The Russian Defense Ministry held a press briefing on what the Western narrative describes as an alleged chemical attack in Syria's Eastern Ghouta. No evidence has been presented to support the claim. A Russian chemical corps commission that has been sent to Douma reported that no traces of chemical poisoning were found. On April 12, the US defense secretary ...

Trump Surrenders to the Foreign Policy Blob

The choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has turned out to be no choice at all. Syria’s Assad government allegedly used chemical weapons, and the usual suspects—the ever-egregious Lindsey Graham and John McCain, of course, along with many others—are urging President Donald Trump to wage war on Damascus. Yet even if Syria is responsible for such an attack, in practice there is little that Washington can and should do. Chemical weapons have not been Bashar al-Assad’s biggest killer: explosives and bullets are responsible for most of the deaths in Syria. Absent initiating full-scale war, Washington is likely to do little other than inconveniencing Assad while ...

Is the Trump Administration Sabotaging the Planned Summit with Kim Jong Un?

President Donald Trump is set to meet North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. The summit looks more serious after the latter’s surprise visit to China. It was Kim’s first meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping. That would not have happened if Kim and especially Xi were not taking the prospect of negotiations with America seriously. However, is the Trump administration equally serious? The president’s recent appointments suggest not. Or they suggest that he is not aware of what might be necessary to reach a denuclearization agreement with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The Kim dynasty has caused extraordinary suffering for the North Korean ...

He's both A child could see through the fake “chemical attack” supposedly launched by Bashar al-Assad just as his troops defeated the jihadists and Trump said he wanted out of Syria. But our President can’t, which raises the question: is he as stupid or stupider than George W. Bush? Or is he crazy? The bad news is: possibly both. And no, there is no good news.

Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President ...

Bitter Michelle Obama Mocks Trump, Then Takes Despicable Shot at Americans By Andrew Mark Miller April 6, 2018 For years and years, we have been told that Michelle Obama is the most amazing First Lady ever and criticizing her is racist and out of bounds. At the same time, Melania is smeared by the media on what seems like a daily basis and Trump’s entire family is in-bounds. Enough is enough. Criticizing Michelle’s disastrous school lunch program, embarrassing gaffes, and silly statements are all fair play.

Without foreign support, ISIS will never regain significant positions in Syria: Opposing view I was disappointed to hear President Trump so quickly reverse his position on removing U.S. troops from Syria. “We’re going to get back to our country, where we belong,” he told an Ohio audience just a week ago. That sounded refreshingly like candidate Trump’s promises of no more nation-building. Then he flipped his position and announced we’d stay. I do think Trump understands that our interventionist foreign policy is a massive waste of money and lives. He said in February, “As of a couple of months ago, we have spent $7 trillion in the Middle East. … What a ...

Mueller Grand Jury Witness Speaks Out- ‘Enough Is Enough’ By Chris Agee April 6, 2018 at 1:53pm The Justice Department probe into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential election has thus far resulted in few internal leaks, though witnesses have occasionally spoken out after their time in front of federal investigators. One such glimpse into the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller came this week in the form of an op-ed published by The Daily Caller. Public relations executive Ronn Torossian wrote that he was called to testify before the Mueller grand jury in December about his alleged 2012 communication with two now-indicted former Trump campaign ...
