Corrupt US Attorney Jesse Liu Was Involved in Mueller Cases Where Evidence Withheld from Defendants -Now She’s Involved in Decision on Whether to Indict Crooked Andrew McCabe! ( Full title ).. ... Jessie K. Liu should not be practicing law. She should be disbarred, impeached and indicted. She is the US Attorney involved in three Deep State Mueller related cases where the government is withholding or withheld evidence from the defense. And she is involved in other corrupt cases. Jessie K. Liu was an up and coming star in the Department of Justice. However her actions of late prove that...

While prosecutors routinely recite their full knowledge of and compliance with their Brady obligations, in truth they often scoff at them and continue to play games to win convictions at all costs. Meanwhile, the defense does not know what the defense does not know. This problem was demonstrated dramatically in the prosecution of United States Senator Ted Stevens. In fact, it was the prosecutorial misconduct in that case that led this Court to adopt the Brady order it now routinely enters in every criminal case. Unfortunately, the government learned nothing from the rebukes in Stevens. It has engaged in even...

The attorneys for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn called for a court intervention on Aug. 30 as the government continues to deny them security clearances required to view classified documents which they say likely contain exculpatory information. "Our attempts to resolve that issue with the government have come to a dead-end, thus requiring the intervention of this Court," the attorneys for Flynn state in a status report filed on Aug. 30. ... The judge in the case ordered the defense and the prosecution to file a status report on Aug. 30 to brief the court on the status of...

The Justice Department inspector general's report shows ex-FBI Director James Comey is to blame for the country having to deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, according to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Comey also proved there are two sets of rules -- one for bureaucrats and one for the American people, Jordan claimed Thursday on Fox News Radio's "The Todd Starnes Show." "Comey broke the rules, plain and simple," the lawmaker said. "It sort of gets to this thing we've talked about before -- Americans are so sick of the double standard -- one set of rules for you and...

The House Judiciary Committee reportedly plans to subpoena former White House aide Rob Porter as the panel seeks to determine whether it should recommend articles of impeachment. Politico reported Monday that the committee would subpoena the former White House staff secretary, who was a key witness in former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. If Porter is subpoenaed, the White House would most likely try to block it, the news outlet noted. The White House has invoked "absolute immunity" in preventing other aides such as former counsel Don McGahn from testifying -- a tactic House Democrats have challenged in court. SNIP...

What was the embittered left - Democratic presidential candidates and their media allies - supposed to do when their hopes of Russia-Trump collusion crashed on the boulevard of broken dreams? Pivot. They had invested so much in their fantasy that President Donald Trump was a treasonous agent of Russian boss Vladimir Putin. But when special counsel Robert Mueller’s report came out, and there was no collusion, no crime charged, their fantasy collapsed. And so, after a brief spasm of despair, the left pivoted to their default position: race. Race. Race. Race. Race. Race. With Americans working and with money in...

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still isn’t ready to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Pelosi told House Democrats on a conference call Friday, “The public isn’t there on impeachment.” She told them the case needs to be “as strong” as possible. “If and when we act, people will know he gave us no choice,” Pelosi said, according to an aide granted anonymity to discuss the private call. More than half the House Democrats support opening an impeachment inquiry. But Pelosi said the House must weigh its “responsibility to protect and defend the Constitution” with the need...

Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, said recently that, after the Mueller report, the paper has to shift the focus of its coverage from the Trump-Russia affair to the president's alleged racism. "We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well," Baquet said. "Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story." Baquet made the remarks at an employee town hall Monday. A recording was leaked to Slate, which published a transcript Thursday. The day Bob Mueller walked off that witness stand, two things...

Shares for the internet retailer Overstock have plunged more than 30 percent this week after its CEO issued a statement saying that he assisted efforts to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election. The e-commerce company's stock has fell by 36 percent since Monday, a figure that represents its biggest two-day hit in 11 years, Bloomberg News reported. The significant slide began after CEO Patrick Bryne came out with a statement about what he referred to as the "deep state." "Starting in 2015 I (operating under the belief that I was helping legitimate law enforcement efforts) assisted in what are...

Agency says it remains committed to solving the 5-year-old mystery WASHINGTON - The top FBI official in charge of the investigation into the deadly anthrax attacks has left the case, NBC News has learned. Richard "Rick" Lambert had been the inspector of the so-called AMERITHRAX case since September 2002, and had run every aspect of the five-year-old investigation. Just last month, he was transferred to the Knoxville, Tenn., field office of the FBI as its special agent in charge, according to the FBI. Lambert was the public face of the case, and his transfer is sure to fuel speculation that...

Former FBI employees—Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Special Agent Peter Strzok—are suing the federal government, alleging that they were improperly fired from their jobs. McCabe contends that his firing was politically motivated. "President Trump wrongfully ordered my dismissal solely on the grounds that my efforts to prevent his election and undermine his presidency were not appropriate actions for a man in my position to take," McCabe said. "The orders I received to undertake the actions I took came down from duly appointed authorities in the FBI and DOJ. This includes the specific instruction to illegally leak classified information intended to...

When the final report of then-special counsel Robert Mueller stated that it couldn’t establish that anyone from the Trump campaign had conspired with Russia, many Americans may have failed to realize how revealing a statement that was. The recent conviction of a former partner in the now-defunct consultancy firm of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, shows how easy it would have been for Mueller to bring charges even if he could piece together only a circumstantial case. Yet he didn’t. Conspiracy Despite its ominous sound, the federal charge of conspiracy has a low...

Republican lawmakers allege Special Counsel Robert Mueller may have perjured himself before Congress in his sworn testimony last month, when he gave what they say were incomplete answers regarding why he held an earlier press briefing. Recently released court documents suggest Mueller may have made his surprise appearance before the press in Washington on May 29 as damage control after a federal judge privately threatened to hold his team in criminal contempt of court over what she called misleading language in his final report about Russian government interference in the 2016 election. Under oath, Mueller denied the judge’s action had...

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday pressed Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers on why the public shouldn’t be allowed to see redacted portions of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, suggesting that he may be willing to consider releasing at least some of the restricted document. Judge Reggie Walton, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, posed the questions during a hearing on a pair of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits seeking the redacted portions of the report. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold filed the lawsuits earlier this year....

Special counsel Robert Mueller's 22-month long investigation cost approximately $32 million, according to new figures released Friday from the Department of Justice. Between October 2018 and the end of May 2019, Mueller's investigative team spent roughly $6.5 million during the last six months of his investigation. It has previously spent $25 million through September of last year. The Justice Department said some of the costs would have been incurred even without Mueller's investigation. Mueller testified before Congress last week in what is likely to be his only Capitol Hill appearance about his investigation.

[FULL TITLE] Halper student who invited Carter Page to Cambridge in 2016 introduced Mitt On Sunday morning, 28 July 2019, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) spoke with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News and emphasized a name to her: Steven Schrage, an American with a background in politics and government who organized the conference at Cambridge University in 2016 at which Carter Page met Stefan Halper. Nunes raised the name with Robert Mueller during Mueller’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. Nunes said that Steven Schrage (pronounced shrah-gee, with a hard “g”), had actually invited Page to attend the conference. Its dates...

The much-touted testimony of Special Counsel Robert Mueller before the House judiciary and intelligence committees last week yielded little beyond what was already in the “confidential” report Mueller submitted to the attorney general (and that has largely been made public). But there was one dramatic revelation from the testimony that should give every American pause, because it reveals not only a complete dereliction of duty on the part of the special counsel and his team of crack prosecutors, but also one of the greatest political scandals in American history. When asked about meetings between Glenn Simpson, the co-founder and president...

Mueller slipped up and revealed the true nature of his "investigation" and report. Mueller, in his final clarification of a remark made to Democrat Lieu, said the conclusion of the report was "they could not exonerate the President" and "they could not establish a crime had been committed." Think about that. As suspected all along, this investigation was an attempt to FIND a crime. Sure, they had collusion, based on what they all knew were lies (if they didn't, they would have done some research to validate their "evidence" derived from the Steele dossier), and they worked and worked and...

RUSH: You know who didn’t get mentioned last night? Robert J. Mueller III. The Mueller report? Not a syllable was mentioned of the Mueller report. Robert Mueller himself did not get mentioned. Now, don’t be disappointed. I mean, they’ve got plenty of video for campaign ads. But in the debate where candidates are trying to get the Democrat nomination, the number one issue as far as the Drive-Bys have been concerned the last 2-1/2 years, didn’t even make the debate. Bottom Falls Out of MSNBC Ratings After Mueller Fails to Put Trump in Jail Jul 31, 2019 RUSH: You know...

The first installment of CNN’s two-night Democratic primary debate was slammed by critics before it even began. Then it concluded without a single mention of CNN’s longstanding narrative that blew up during former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony. Mueller's testimony before two House committees last week was largely considered a “disaster” for Democrats and opponents of President Trump who hoped he would provide a path to impeachment. However, Mueller was oddly never mentioned throughout CNN’s debate and Russia was essentially an afterthought at the first gathering of 2020 hopefuls since the testimony. “CNN flounders now, they’ve no idea what the...
