Thanks for checking. On a mac here. Usually don’t have that problem, but lately some of the web sites are infestuous!
It's part of an encryption key that assures us this is Q posting this drop. Every so often Q's password gets hacked and the board operator "code monkey" has to issue him a new access and Q makes a new password so he gets a new Encryption key. . . and we get another portion that displays, which is validated by the previous one.
Very much so. He never missed a day of work for illness. . .
Thank you for that fresh thread!
So Sessions said early March these would be released, and it seems only to be publicized minimally now? Why now?
Thanks again.
basically grassley is challenging the authority of the special counsel and demanding documentation by may 31 from rosenstein including answers to 16 comprehensive questions...bada bing..

Thanks for summary and insight.
My dad got a commendation letter and framed certificate for that idea for the Doolittle raid signed by Doolittle. My elder daughter has it.
I noticed that too - especially that creepy owl dressed in flip flops and terry robe.
Subliminals perhaps.
Look up Owls in the LexiQon. It's an old thing from mythology.
That IQ test is racist.
OK. These threads have been an obsession for a while. I mostly lurk, constantly following rabbit holes. Our task is to grasp what is to come and be prepared to help others. Sustained stress does promote bonding, but an imbalance leads to conflict. WWG1WGA.
I’ve been thinking a lot about RR and RM. Grassley’s letter asks explicit questions. I watched almost an hour of RR speaking and taking questions at some forum on CSPAN. I find it difficult to believe that the person I saw would leave himself so open.
And Mueller. I read his Wiki bio. Considering his WH meet the day before his appointment, why would a 73 (?) year old decorated Marine end as a black hat? His indictments to date? 20-something, 13 Russians, 3 corporations, one who is seeking discovery. Manafort, a plant Q identified. (Q implied more than two plants in the campaign.) And Flynn, but that’s interesting in its own way. What else has he and his team been doing?
The judge and now Grassley want to see RM’s redacted mandate. Many in DC warn against 45 removing either RM or RR, a Constitutional Crisis. The media leaks all sorts of things about the investigation through invisible sources promoting the narrative. It looks bleak for 45…
Of course I feel a sting coming, the twist in the script. Huber has been operational for many months. Per the AG, his mandate includes all the concerns of Grassley, Goodlatte and Gowdy. I admit to knowing little about the AR operation. But the IG has been feeding Huber (theory).
RM’s amended mandate and a release of his findings, the IG release, more stuff from the Congressional Committees, unsealed indictments, my guess is that these will all be harmonious. And damaging to the DS.
Also, Cohen was the #2 finance guy for the RNC. He might know some interesting things from those days or even have some files.
Then again, I’m sipping Bookers.
Well, then by all means, keep the Bookers coming! I really appreciate your summary and report on your thinking wrt Mueller/RR/Grassley et. al.
Thanks for writing it all out so well.
....Accordingly, please provide an unredacted copy of the August Memorandum and any other documents delineating, describing, or supporting the jurisdiction and authority of the special counsel and respond in writing to the following questions by May 31, 2018:
1. The August Memorandum states that it addresses the special counsel’s authorization as of the date he was appointed. Why was this memorandum not drafted until August 2017?
2. The regulations authorizing the appointment of a special counsel state that the Attorney General (or Acting Attorney General) may appoint a special counsel “when he or she determinations that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted.”18 The Appointment Order proscribes the Special Counsel’s jurisdiction by citing specifically “the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017.”19 In his March 20 testimony, former Director Comey referred to “the investigation” as a counterintelligence investigation—not a criminal investigation.20
Please explain which portion of which regulation authorizes the appointment of a Special Counsel to conduct a counterintelligence investigation.
3. The Appointment Order does not cite to 28 C.F.R. § 600.1 through § 600.3. However, section 600.1 is the section that describes the grounds necessary to appoint a special counsel. It requires (1) a criminal predicate, and (2) that investigation or prosecution by a U.S. Attorney’s office or litigating unit of DOJ would present a conflict of interest or other extraordinary circumstance.
a. Why does the Order not cite to or rely on section 600.1?
Does the August Memorandum reference section 600.1? If not, why not?
b. What “criminal investigation of a person or matter” did you determine was warranted?
c. Why did your Appointment Order not identify specific crimes to be investigated?
d. What conflict of interest or extraordinary circumstance would have prevented a disinterested U.S. Attorney’s office or litigating unit of the Department from investigating or prosecuting the matter(s) referred to in the Appoint Order and August Memorandum under your supervision?
e. Did you exercise your authority, or consider exercising your authority under section 600.2(b) to “direct that an initial investigation, consisting of such factual inquiry or legal research . . . be conducted in order to better inform the decision?” If not, why not? If so, please describe in detail the scope, methodology, and results of the initial investigation.
f. Did you exercise your authority, or consider exercising your authority under section 600.2(c) to have “the appropriate component of the Department . . . handle the matter” and “mitigate any conflicts of interest [through] recusal of particular officials?” If not, why not? If so, please describe in detail why that option was not considered or exercised.
g. Did you comply with the requirements of section 600.3(b) that require the Attorney General to “consult with the Assistant Attorney General for Administration to ensure an appropriate method of appointment, and to ensure . . . a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues?” If not, why not? If so, please describe in detail the Assistant Attorney General for Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Director Wray May 17, 2018 Page | 6 Administration’s involvement and the results of the ethics and conflicts of interest review.
4. The Appointment Order explicitly states that sections 600.4-600.10 apply to this Special Counsel despite the apparent failure to follow the appointment requirements in sections 600.1-600.3. The Order also cites section 600.4(a) which requires that “[t]he Special Counsel . . . be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated.” Again, under section 600.1 the “matter” is that which the Attorney General or Acting Attorney General determines “warrant[s]” a “criminal investigation.” Is there a “specific factual statement of the matter” that warrants a criminal investigation described in the May 17 Order? In the August Memorandum? What is it?
5. The regulations cited in the Appointment Order authorize the Acting Attorney General to grant to a Special Counsel the powers of a U.S. Attorney.21 To what extent have you considered whether that includes the authority to initiate, supervise, or participate in counterintelligence investigations?
6. Rather than the regulations, the Appointment Order appears to rely instead on general statutory authority of the Attorney General. The statute permits the Attorney General to exercise “all functions of other officers of the Department of Justice and all functions of agencies and employees of the Department of Justice,”22 and the authority to delegate “any function of the Attorney General,”23 and/or the authority to “conduct any kind of legal proceeding, civil or criminal.”24 Are those statutes, alone or in combination, in your opinion sufficient to authorize a counterintelligence investigation by a Special Counsel? Why or why not?
7. During an all-Senators briefing on May 18, 2017, you were asked by Senator Collins and Judiciary Committee staff whether you had delegated the Attorney General’s FISA approval authority to Special Counsel Mueller. Have you delegated FISA approval authority to the Special Counsel? If so, on what date, and was the delegation done in writing? If it was in writing, please provide a copy to the comitee............
etc etc somebody got some splaining to do....anyone still think rosenstein is a white hat?
Thanks for sharing. Where did your dad get his engine training?
Interesting, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the link. Computer has been down since Thursday morning. I tried to get neon on my cell phone, but all I could get was you tube stuff, and praying medic wasn’t up to date.
Interesting stories about your dad at post 1082.
Thanks for posting.
Is this something that we should be concerned about? This article says that this ship was activated in 2015-2016. Could it be a DS asset?

Perhaps. This batch is 127.6 proof. I should have better expressed that my stress/bonding/conflict comment was about events earlier on this thread. It does bring me out of my reclusion.
I was alerted to Q by an old Army friend early last November. We’ve studied the Illuminati and associated conspiracies most of our lives. I got pulled in Quickly. Early on, there were a few times I wondered if it actually was a military coup.
But no, I decided this was real, finally this is the fight to clean the Swamp. For 50 years I’ve had some issues with the clowns. I remember stuff from JFK, but I did study from LBJ onward. I’m very happy I lived this long.
Yes. This is kabuki, without the cool make-up and costumes. But it’s just as stylized.
No, dad was an Army Air Corp Crew Chief civilian mechanic (they wouldn't let any of those highly trained specialists enlist) back then who worked on the planes before they left the states. . . . and for the chase planes that injured his crewman, when they were returned. Dad later thought the chase planes should have been dropped in the ocean. Apparently they were brought back for testing purposes to see what affects the radioactive debris would have on the plane materials and other parts. . . especially the one that flew through the mushroom cloud. I used to know the name of that plane but my old mind has misfiled its index card. If I recall correctly dad said it was trucked in, rather than flown in. They dismounted and crated up the engines. I'm pretty sure it eventually got cut up and buried.
Dad's crew were considered the go-to team for engine tune ups and for special projects.
The Doolittle guys were doing practice take offs where my dad was working at McClellan Army Air Base, while the planes were being worked on.
They had a strip marked off with the length they had available to them . . . but they did not know what they were training for yet. They though it was an island strip. . . so they kept trying to LAND in that distance too, even though they were told not to worry about landing, which had them thoroughly confused. They couldn't do the landing no matter how hard then tried. Dad said they always overshot. They hadn't been briefed yet that they were going to take off from a aircraft carrier! The planes were lifted onto the Hornet by crane as I understand it.
By the time they finished practicing they could all take off with room to spare on their marked runway.
Just before dad died we went to the Air Museum at McClellan which he had never been to even though he lived in Sacramento, and did was looking at some of the photos there. . . and found his picture along with his team. They had some the names on the caption wrong. So he introduced himself to the Museum Director and showed him the photos and the guy did a double take looking back and forth at my dad and his much younger self (my dad had had hair so blond he didn't even notice he'd gone completely white until my mom had to tell him it wasn't blond anymore!) in the photos. He really hadn't changed much, a little stooped, but still very tall. Dad said "That guy there's name isn't spelled that way, and you've got the wrong first name on that guy. Oh, and that isn't Colonel. . . " and they were off. . . two hours later my dad was still talking into a tape recorder as they were picking his brain about his 40 plus years working at McClellan including the stories about the Doolittle planes and the other famous planes and people that had been there. Dad knew everybody.
He'd been asked to go to the South Pacific as a civilian expert for tough jobs and on location training of servicemen, but declined. . . and then in the mid-sixties had been offered the position of half-time Civilian manager of all the Air Force repair facilities in South Vietnam (half time there, half time idle in the states while another Civilian manager did the Vietnam job, swapping back and forth) but he also declined that; I think my mom talked him out of it. Pay was really good, but money was never his motivation. Strange thing. . . he absolutely HATED to fly. Scared him silly. That might have also had something to do with it.
Some of that may have been that part of the job he was doing then was writing all the books for one of the jet models the Air Force was flying and when one crashed, he had to go and assist in the crash investigation. One of the jets he had been responsible for before was the F-86 which he described as a jet engine with an aluminum can with wings bolted around it, and the pilot sitting on the can.
Someday, ask me about his F-86 washer story. It's too involved to go into tonight.
He added water injection to his motorhome RV. . . I kept teasing him that if he added one more gas saving gadget to it, he'd have to stop every twenty miles and syphon gas out of the tank to prevent it from overflowing. His dashboard had gauges he'd added for everything he could think of. It looked like an aircraft cockpit. After his death my mom had me strip everything out just so it could be sold, because no one else could ever understand what they were looking at, or what those controls would do. LOL!
