McCabe to leave FBI in coming months: report FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is planning to retire in the coming months amid accusations of partisanship and bias within the law enforcement agency. The Washington Post reported Saturday that McCabe plans to step down in a few months when he is fully eligible for pension benefits. That is expected to happen in early March. McCabe has weathered GOP criticism of the FBI for over a year, with Republicans questioning the agency's handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and, more recently, the probe into possible...

Former president working with Eric Holder to focus on redistricting efforts A group backed by former President Barack Obama participated at a D.C. gathering of deep-pocketed progressive donors strategizing to "restore progressive government" and to ensure fair redistricting in upcoming years. The gathering, hosted by the dark money Democracy Alliance network, is part of the network's spring investment conference and national donor summit held in D.C to plot resistance against President Trump and Republicans.

Two FBI officials who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation exchanged text messages last year in which they appear to have discussed ways to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president. “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok wrote in a cryptic text message to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress. “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok wrote...

Shortly before last year’s election, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe wrote an email on his official government account stating that the Hillary Clinton email probe had been given “special” status, according to documents released Wednesday. McCabe’s Oct. 23, 2016, email to press officials in the FBI said the probe was under the control of a small group of high-ranking people at the FBI’s headquarters in Washington. “As I now know the decision was made to investigate it at HQ with a small team,” McCabe wrote in the email. He said he had no input when the Clinton email investigation started...

WASHINGTON — Drivers on eastbound Interstate 66 saw tolls fluctuate frantically and top out at almost $35 during the Monday morning commute, the first with dynamic tolling on the highway. Rush-hour tolling began at 5:30 a.m. and early morning drivers saw tolls at around $3.50. Within an hour, the tolls had risen to $10 and eventually reached $34.50 at the height of rush-hour. By 9 a.m., prices were back down to below $10, said WTOP’s traffic reporter Dave Dildine, who spent the morning driving on I-66 to report the latest conditions. “It’s going to take some time for us to...

Documents recently released by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch show that while current FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe recused himself from the investigation of Hillary Clinton, he didn’t do so until days before November’s election. The information was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI that sought records related to McCabe’s involvement with the state Senate campaign of his wife, Dr. Jill McCabe.McCabe was the Assistant Director in Charge of the Washington Field Office when the probe was going on, and therefore controlled resources for the investigation. While the investigation was still underway, in February 2016, McCabe became Deputy Director...

A group of Chinese investors is suing Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and the brother of Hillary Clinton, saying they were defrauded of $17 million in a cash-for-green card “scam.” The investors filed suit in Fairfax Co., Va. circuit court last week, Politico first reported. The suit alleges that McAuliffe and Clinton’s youngest brother, Anthony Rodham, “exploited” the 32 investors by promising to “leverage…political connections” to ensure that their visa applications “will get to the top of the pile, and then be approved.” The green cards were to be granted as part of the federal government’s EB-5 visa program. The program...

In the age of Donald Trump, we are all desperately searching for a competent replacement. In the age of Trump, Democrats and even some Republicans are all desperately looking for who will challenge Donald Trump. After researching electoral trends in presidential elections and the candidates themselves, I've picked 10 Democrats who could be strong challengers to Donald Trump in the 2020 election. They are listed in order of my preferences, and I even included some extra candidates since I am expecting the Democratic Primary debate stage in 2020 to be as crowded as the Republican Primary debate stage in 2016....

During Tuesday’s election in Virginia, Williams had originally planned to go and vote right at 6 a.m., but her ride was delayed a few hours. Williams, a former felon, lost her right to vote decades ago because she was convicted of a felony and Virginia bars felons from voting unless that right is restored by the governor. Williams, who is now back in school working to earn a degree that will help her become an auto-mechanic, said she was last in prison in 2014, but only recently had her voting rights restored by Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D). And so on...

....“I don’t know how you get around that this wasn’t a referendum on the administration, I just don’t," Taylor told reporters at Gillespie's election night party. "Some of the very divisive rhetoric really prompted and helped usher in a really high Democratic turnout... "I’m telling you that from someone who is from Virginia, who watched these races, who watched people lose tonight against opponents who are completely no name.” ....Taylor admitted that Trump could threaten the GOP's House majority. When asked whether Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) would retain his speakership if Trump doesn't moderate, Taylor said it was an "interesting...

Monday on MSNBC, Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) dismissed the allegations laid out by former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile in her forthcoming book, “Hacks.” In her book, Brazile said the 2016 process for choosing the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, which was Hillary Clinton, was rigged. McAuliffe’s reaction was “nobody cares,” and he attempted to steer the conversation to tomorrow’s gubernatorial election in Virginia. Partial transcript as follows: KATY TUR, MSNBC: I want to ask you about Donna Brazile and the allegations that are coming out in her new book. There’s a lot of people on both sides of the...

"DEMOCRATS" Ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, Ex-VP, Joe Biden, Virginia, Governor, Terry McAuliffe, etc., are calling out for more Gun Control laws, that restrict American citizens the right to bear arms to protect themselves, their families, their loved ones and fellow endangered citizens. All this, while the "massive slaughter" that occurred yesterday in rural Texas, was halted and ended by a loyal, patriotic, hero, Texas citizen armed with his legal rifle that he used to disrupt, wound and possibly killed the maniac, nutcase, lunatic that caused this unbelievable carnage of innocent men, women and children being killed and injured. There is...

The FBI has begun turning over to Senate investigators hundreds of pages of memos regarding the bureau's probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server, sources told The Hill. The sources said the Justice Department notified the Senate Judiciary Committee late Friday and the FBI began transmitting memos soon after to assist Congress in its review of former Director James Comey's handling of the Clinton email case. The memos detail how and when the bureau's leadership declined to pursue criminal charges against Clinton for transmitting classified information on her private email server as secretary of State, an investigation that has remained...

Twas just a few days ago when a few Virginia Governor polls had Obambot/Clinton/McAuliffe, Democrat Ralph Northam beating out Republican, Ed Gillispie by some 53% to 38%, with a supposed, massive, 15% lead. As of today,......a whole pack of pollsters now tell us peons, the race has, in just three days time passage, that the polls now show a dead heat tie between Northam & Gillespie, with a few showing Gillespie with a 2% lead.

I notice that Socialist, Communist, Progressive, Obamabot, "Democrat", Ralph Northham, Democrat candidate for Virginia Governor, has pulled the disgusting racist political ad supported by his rabid illegal immigrant and BLM nutcases. I guess it was not working out to well for him. I sure hope so. I am also hoping and praying that "ALL" Virginia voters turn out to vote next Tuesday, in the Governor election, November 7, 2027 for Republican, candidate, Ed Gillespie. Virginia deserves much better, ten times better, then that low life America Hater/Racist, like Ralph Northham, adoring buddy of The Charlottesville, Virginia, Murder, Massacre, Riot, Provoker,...

As for Hillary Clinton, I say give her a fair, balanced hearing and trial and then put her in prison where she so rightfully belongs...and that's ditto for Barack Hussein Obama..too. Both Clinton and Obama are criminals, traitors & turncoats, as will soon be proved without a doubt. LOCK THEM BOTH UP. And.....Voters in New Jersey & Virginia should send a clear message to the entire Democrat Party by voting for the Republican candidates for Governor in those states on election day, November 7, 2017. Since we now have a 180 degree turnaround on "The Russian Gig" from Trump to...

On Saturday, October 21, a group of militiamen filed into Emancipation Park to address the community about its role in the August 12 rally. The Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia is one of the defendants named in the lawsuit filed to prevent unauthorized paramilitary groups from returning to Charlottesville. […] “Even though the media wanted to lump us in with these hard ‘alt-right’ people, that’s not at all the case,” says Christian Yingling, a member of the militia. “We don’t support what they did; we don’t support their beliefs in any way, shape, or form.” …
