Happy belated birthday to you and the grand! Hope it was a lovely day
My thought too. One hopes; and wouldn’t it be delicious?
Thank you, LJ,for the posting this about the briefing remarks.

I would not be surprised if the first call is not what the Demsheviks would like to hear....
Hmm... a snip of Solomon the other day mentioned a new OIG or some kind of report unknown about until now, this must be it.
A New Inspector General Report About Use of Confidential Informants Is Coming
November 8, 2019
Reporter John Solomon broke the news on Nov. 7 that there was yet another investigation being run out of the Department of Justices Inspector Generals Office that has not finished, and the final report could even be publicly released ahead of the long-anticipated FISA abuse report.
And this new report will detail an investigation into violations of the FBIs rules and regulations regarding the use of confidential informants.
In a radio interview with Sean Hannity, Solomon stated, based on his sources, that this investigation is already completed, and the final report is already in. Notably, this means nothing leaked during the actual investigation.
Now, what possible reason would the DOJs Office of the Inspector General have to suddenly want to take a real good look at how the FBI was using confidential informants?
Now, what possible reason would the DOJs Office of the Inspector General have to suddenly want to take a real good look at how the FBI was using confidential informants?
Well if you look at the official announcement Horowitz made back on March 28, 2018, in which he revealed his investigation into the FBIs compliance with all the legal requirements for FISA applications, you will see that the Inspector General said this:
As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source. Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJs and FBIs relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications.
And then within a few days of that announcement, this also begins appearing on the official DOJ OIG website that lists the ongoing work they are doing:
FBIs Confidential Human Source Program
The OIG is auditing the FBIs Confidential Human Source Program. The preliminary objectives are to: (1) assess the FBIs management and oversight of its Confidential Human Source Program, to include the FBIs oversight of payments to confidential human sources, (2) examine the FBIs confidential human source policies to ensure consistency with the Attorney General Guidelines, and (3) assess the FBIs process of determining reliability and appropriateness of confidential human sources.
To this point, there are three confidential informants whose activities involving Trump campaign personnel during the 2016 election have become public knowledge. Two are academics with long-established ties to Western intelligence officials, and the third is a former British MI6 intelligence officer who became a political operative:
1. Christopher Steele
2. Professor Stefan Halper
3. Professor Joseph Mifsud
Although there are very real issues that surround both Halper and Mifsud, I think its far more likely this new report will center on the activities of paid political operative Steele.

SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS....

Eric Holder Takes Virginia
The Democratic plan to dominate state legislatures has its first electoral success.
Analysts are reading Tuesdays tea leaves, predicting what the off-year election results mean for the presidential race. But one victory is beyond dispute. Former Attorney General Eric Holder will be celebrating this week for a decade.
Democrats on Tuesday won total control of Virginias government, adding both chambers of the General Assembly to the governors mansion. They will redraw Virginias legislative district lines after next years census. The Old Dominion was already moving left, though the redistricting power likely cements Democratic dominance over Virginia for the next 10 years.
This was Mr. Holders plan. While most prominent Democrats spent the months following Donald Trumps election plotting future runs, Mr. Holder was launching the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, committed to domination of electoral mapmaking through the courts and legislatures. The NDRC spent its first years aggressively litigating legislative maps it didnt like, to great success. Virginias election was the first test of the electoral piece of Mr. Holders strategy, and it will now serve as the model by which Democrats attempt to gain redistricting power in 11 other key states next year.

POSTING BLIND . . . .
Yep - food to prepare, etc., lol.
Game is not going so well.
But there was a no fly restriction for our area, and because of that, the day was so QUIET. Then, we heard Air Force One coming in. We couldn’t see it but we did hear it. My husband spent all morning cleaning up around our barn and pasture - he said he was really disappointed POTUS didn’t take the opportunity to see how hard he had worked lol
Also, the baby trump balloon didn’t stay inflated too long ....
Someone slashed it -
China approves seaweed-based Alzheimer’s drug. It’s the first new one in 17 years
Wonder how long this miracle has been suppressed in someone’s office safe? 17 years, imagine that.
Nice!
Epic.
Excellent news.
The Mirror in UK is reporting, “FBI set to swoop on Jeffrey Epstein pals alleged to have groomed underage girls”
Thanks for your thoughtful take.
