    It was the G.W. Bush's DOJ who went after Chong.

    I'm guessing George (43) wasn't a big fan of Cheech and Chong's movie "Up in Smoke."

    It's not uncommon for former drug abusers and alcoholics who "been there and done that" to be anti drug and or anti alcohol.

    And The Bushes and The Clintons have always been on the same team.

    They do have a lot in common. Hillary/Jeb would be the 2020 dream ticket for both party establishments.

    Do you know what Jimmy Carter, G.H. Bush (41) and Bill Clinton all have in common ? All are members of the Trilateral Commission.

    Yes, but I am convinced that most Trilateralists do not even read Foreign Policy, and could not without a tutor to translate it for them. ;-)

    Actually many members of the Trilateral Commission have at one time had an article published in "Foreign Affairs."

    The Trilateral Commission has only been around since 1973.

    It was Ronald Reagan back in 76 or 77 who called for the FBI to investigate the Trilateral Commission. It never happened but if J.Edgar Hoover were still have been around it would have happened.

    All of the past six administrations going back to the Carter administration had Trilateral Commission members as part of the administration.

    The Obama administration had more Trilateral Commission members part of its administration than any other administration.
    I seriously doubt Obama will ever be allowed to become a member of the Trilateral Commission because he's an Alinskyite and supports the Muslim Brotherhood.

    The Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group are the oligarchy.

    Which two President's were or are the oligarchy afraid of, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.

    Most of those people do not write their own copy.
    Hire a few Ivy trained staffers and throw away the first 4 drafts and publish the 5th. Perfect for Foreign Affairs.

    I no longer subscribe to "Foreign Affairs" but did for almost thirty years.

    If I'm googling and linked to a "Foreign Affairs" article, I'll read it.

    You are arguing that Trump paid Halper to illegally spy on him for the corrupt Obama Leftovers?

    It's weird how these guys who keep warning us about Trump, keep telling lie after lie after lie, and dumb ones, ones so dumb that they keep getting caught red-handed.

    Senator Grassley: Looks like Fusion GPS Head Glenn Simpson Was Lying When He Claimed He Didn't Have a New Client Paying Him to "Research" RussiaGate After the Election

    But he did have such a client -- a former Dianne Feinstein staffer who collected $50 million from Democrat billionaires to continue his "research."

    So why did he claim in Congressional testimony that he had no client after the election?

    The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is accusing Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson of giving "extremely misleading" statements, if not telling "outright lies," during Senate testimony in 2017.

    "So you didn't do any work on the Trump matter after the election date; that was the end of your work?" Simpson was asked during the interview.

    Simpson responded, saying: "I had no client after the election."

    Grassley said Simpson's denial was false.

    "As we now know, that was extremely misleading, if not an outright lie," the Republican wrote to his fellow Judiciary Committee member, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons.

    "Contrary to Mr. Simpson's denial in the staff interview, according to the FBI and others, Fusion actually did continue Trump dossier work for a new client after the election," Grassley said.

    Grassley pointed to statements a former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer, Daniel Jones, gave to the FBI in March 2017 about his work alongside Fusion GPS to investigate Trump's possible Russia links.

    Jones' consulting firm, the Penn Quarter Group, "had secured the services Steele, his associate [redacted], and Fusion GPS to continue exposing Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election," he told the FBI.
    Will the Corrupt DOJ/FBI be prosecuting their asset Glenn Simpson for lying to Congress?

    The question nobody is asking about those 'stolen' Hillary emails Papadopoulos supposedly told Downer about

    Comey and Mueller can't have it both ways

    NOPE!

    And then there's Misfud.

    Who Is Joseph Misfud? Is He a Russian Agent -- or a CIA Agent?

    This is the guy who first incepted Carter Page with the idea of Russians having Hillary's emails, which they apparently did not have or did not feel like colluding enough to release to Wikileaks.

    The Maltese Phantom of Russiagate


    Mifsud salts Papadopoulus with the idea that The Russian's have Hillary's 30,000 bleach-bitted emails:

    In the shifting narratives of the Trump-Russia probe, a Maltese academic named Joseph Mifsud has remained a linchpin regarding claims of collusion. He is the professor who allegedly told Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that the Russians had emails related to the Clinton campaign. The FBI says it opened its investigation in late July 2016 after Papadopoulos relayed that information to Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, and the Australians tipped off U.S. authorities.

    While some news accounts describe Mifsud as an accomplice to Russian clandestine operations or a "cut-out" (intermediary), others contend he is a full-fledged Russian spy.

    In an official report, Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence asserted that"“in their approach to Papadopoulos, the Russians used common tradecraft and employed a cut-out," a “Kremlin-linked…Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud."

    No one in the American intelligence community has publicly challenged this description.

    But there is one major problem with this story: No evidence has been presented to support the claim. Although Mifsud has traveled many times to Russia and has contacts with Russian academics, his closest public ties are to Western governments, politicians, and institutions, including the CIA, FBI and British intelligence services. One of Mifsud's jobs has been to train diplomats, police officers, and intelligence officers at schools in London and Rome, where he lived and worked over the last dozen years.

    If Mifsud truly is a Russian agent -- which is key to the collusion narrative -- he could prove to be one of the most promiscuous spies in modern history. Western intelligence agencies and European politicians would have to spend the next few decades repairing the damage he did to global security by infiltrating key institutions and personnel. As of yet, however, there is no indication that any intelligence service has begun the embarrassing, but highly important, assessment of how it was penetrated and how it can re-fortify the vulnerabilities that Mifsud may have exposed. There has been no public effort to arrest him.
    That's because the notion is yet another in the pack of lies being told to explain the illegal spying on Trump:

    While most media accounts have simply repeated official claims that Mifsud is a sketchy character whose visits to Russia and academic contacts suggest he is working for Russian intelligence, a look at the available evidence challenges that narrative. It also raises the possibility that Mifsud, whose circles are tied to the Clintons, may, like another professor recently in the news, Stefan Halper, have actually been working for Western intelligence agencies.

    Painting a full picture of Mifsud is difficult because after the 58-year-old professor was first identified by name in a Washington Post article in the weeks following Papadopoulos' confession, he gave a few interviews to the international press, and then disappeared.

    Rumors circulated in the press that the Kremlin-linked professor may have been recalled to Russia or was liquidated.

    A new book by former colleagues of Mifsud's -- Stephan Roh, a 50-year-old Swiss-German lawyer, and Thierry Pastor, a 35-year-old French political analyst -- reports that he is alive and well. Their account includes a recent interview with him.

    Their self-published book, "The Faking of Russia-gate: The Papadopoulos Case, an Investigative Analysis," includes a recent interview with Mifsud in which he denies saying anything about Clinton emails to Papadopoulos. Mifsud, they write, stated "vehemently that he never told anything like this to George Papadopoulos." Mifsud asked rhetorically: "From where should I have this [information]?"

    Mifsud's account seems to be supported by Alexander Downer, the Australian diplomat who alerted authorities about Papadopoulos. As reported in the Daily Caller, Downer said Papadopoulos never mentioned emails; he spoke, instead, about the Russians possessing material that could be damaging to Clinton. This new detail raises the possibility that Mifsud, Papadopoulos' alleged source for the information, never said anything about Clinton-related emails either.

    In interviews with RealClearInvestigations, Roh and Pastor said Mifsud is anything but a Russian spy. Rather, he is more likely a Western intelligence asset...

    Pastor and Roh, who hired Mifsud as a business development consultant in 2015, write that far from being a Russian spy, Mifsud "had only one master: the Western Political, Diplomatic and Intelligence World, his only home, of which he is still deeply dependent."

    There is plenty of open source material that supports their thesis.

    Love how these liars are scrambling now that we know that they planted a SPY into the campaign. Nixon was impeached for trying to plant a bug in the opposing campaign.

    On January 6, 2017, Comey, Crapper, CIA director John Brennan, and NSA chief Michael Rogers visited President-elect Trump in New York to brief him on the Russia investigation. Just one day earlier, at the White House, Comey and then–acting attorney general Sally Yates had met with the political leadership of the Obama administration — President Obama, Vice President Biden, and national-security adviser Susan Rice — to discuss withholding information about the Russia investigation from the incoming Trump administration.

    Ms. Rice put this sleight-of-hand a bit more delicately in her CYA memo-to-file about the Oval Office meeting (written two weeks after the fact, as Rice was leaving her office minutes after Trump’s inauguration):

    President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.

    It is easy to understand why Obama officials needed to discuss withholding information from Trump. They knew that the Trump campaign — not just some individuals tangentially connected to the campaign — was the subject of an ongoing FBI counterintelligence probe.

    And there is plenty more that contradicts it!

    http://observer.com/2017/10/trump-s...ge-papadopoulos-paul-manafort-robert-mueller/

    Crucially, “the Professor” introduced Papadopoulos to a senior official of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or MFA. In May and June 2016, the two had multiple discussions via Skype and email about cooperation between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign—all with the approval of senior campaign officials. Just as important, in late April, “the Professor” boasted to Papadopoulos that Moscow was in possession of juicy “dirt” on Hillary, including “thousands of emails.” In other words, the Trump campaign knew about Russian intelligence’s hacking of Democratic emails months before the public found out about it in July 2016, when WikiLeaks, serving as a Kremlin cut-out, dumped 20,000 purloined emails belonging to Clinton and other prominent Democrats on the Internet.

    The importance of the Papadopoulos case to the Mueller investigation in terms of national security is obvious and troubling. Already “the Professor” has been identified as Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese academic resident in Great Britain. Mifsud brushed off the FBI’s accusations of his role in this affair, stating he has “a clear conscience.” So far, the Russian female and the senior MFA official have not been firmly identified, yet in truth it hardly matters since, to any seasoned counterspy, their roles in this hush-hush saga are perfectly clear, no matter who they really are.

    This was a textbook Russian espionage operation, presumably run by Moscow’s Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR. Here, Mifsud served as a cut-out, offering plausible deniability as the Kremlin assessed if Papadopoulos was worth the SVR’s time—which obviously he was. Here “the Russian MFA” is merely a pleasant fiction covering the tracks of the SVR. It’s safe to assume that the Russian female and the “diplomat” were SVR representatives too, since spies—not legitimate diplomats—handle this sort of sensitive matter for Moscow.
