Devin Nunes: 'Hidden' passage in Mueller report shows scope memo tainted by Trump dossier
The Washington Times ^ | 04-19-2019 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 04/19/2019 5:51:48 AM PDT by Kevin in California

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., revealed where in special counsel Robert Mueller's report he says "Clinton dirt" tainted the Russia investigation.

During an interview on Fox News, hours after the 448-page report was released, Nunes pointed to a "hidden" passage on page 11 that addresses the scope memo for the yearslong investigation.

"When you look at what happened today, remember we talked a lot about the scope memo. What were the directions given to the special counsel? Well, we now know hidden on page 11, very thinly, still veiled, but we now know they used the Steele dossier, the Clinton dirt, the Clinton-paid-for dirt as part of the memo for the special counsel that directed the special counsel what to do," Nunes told host Sean Hannity.

“Obama also colluded with Andrea Merkel, the GErman, to undermine Trump.”

Merkel is pro communist. She graduated from the University of Karl Marx and was from East Germany.

“This was a 5 eyes CIA operation designed to torpedo Trump and it was fully homegrown.”

That’s why Russian specialist Nelly Ohr was on loan from the CIA to Fusion.

Why does politics have to be dog eat dog 24/7

It always has been. Most republicans fold because their big money donors stop sending them money when the least bit of political pressure is applied. You may not have realized the extent to which it has infected the democrats and their ilk because we have never had a significantly wealthy President that can with stand the political pressure.

Democrats go for political ruin, that's what they are after. Republicans let up and don't keep the opposition's feet to the fire. The circumstances in Virginia are a good example. Republicans just let it go and don't try to ruin their opponents.

“I’m wondering if Roberts is involved here.”

I still say that Obama wiretapped Roberts through the NSA monitoring and blackmailed him to support Obamacare.

Not from Trump...there WAS collusion with a foreign power.....from his opponent!
During the campaign, Hillary stated that "foreign countries" supported her candidacy.

===============================

SOURCE: CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE | 4/9/2019 | SUNDANCE / FR Posted by bitt
A late day submission to DC Circuit Court in a FOIA case reveals the content of previously unknown James Comey memos—SNIP—
The entire anti-Trump operation is memorialized in writing:
<><> how Obama’s FBI Director James Comey wrote down the sources and code-names assigned;
<><> how confidential sources engaged with FISA coverage initiated by the FBI;
<><> what foreign governments were assisting with their efforts;
<><> and their plans for the phony investigation.

Just wondering:

During the campaign Hillary bragged about “foreign governments” supporting her election.

Are these the same “foreign governments” Comey had assisting their efforts to frame Trump? (smirk)

That would mean Obama and Hillary were colluding with foreign governments to meddle in our elections, wouldnt it Donald?

I saw what Levin said, he said that the whole section on McGann was nothing but tabloid news. That it is a he said, she said conversation and it wouldn’t hold up in court. Foxnews guy says, but it looks like President was obstructing in telling McGann to tell Rosenstein to fire Mueller. Levin said, how do you know that conversation is true? President said he didn’t say that.

He was really good and on fire about it all.

Comey is a snake. Lying thru his teeth.

How did SCOTUS Roberts not know about this? You mean, he didn’t read the FISA warrants or was aware of them?

Add up, because he had most critical of Trump, when he doesn’t need to be.

When you realize that they didn’t think Trump would win, whey were brazen.

Never thought I’d live to see the day of a coup d’état in America.

This country, and esp the press, has no respect for the office of presidency.

All of us endured every single day, listening and reading the posts here about Obama. Every stinking day there was something he was pulling, and the GOP and the media just sat there and watched.

BUT, I was still respectful of the presidency.

I thought surely we would win in 2012.

I was in my car, and it sounded like he was in an open arena talking to hundreds of people.

He was definitely on fire, and was not going to be interrupted.

Levin was slow to come around, but he’s been loyal to this day.

Can’t say the same for that worthless PO dog crap Ann Coulter.

“Their WAS collusion with a foreign power! Hillary colluded with a British National who then colluded with Russian Nationals (presumably with the knowledge of Putin) to create a document to bring down then candidate Trump!”

That’s what I’ve been saying for months. I can’t believe how few people seem to understand that

5 eyes CIA operation.
Trump used “Covfefe” a number of times.

I’ve read that stands for Covert, Five Eyes, 5 Eyes.
Makes sense. Wasn’t Australia, Great Britan, USA involved?

All of us want to see some indictments for Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Shifless(leaker), Lynch, and on and on. We are promised a floodgate opening. Please let us just see results.

To this day, it’s conceivable that Val Jarrett is running the shadow gubmet for Obammy, at the fancy brick house in DC. WHO stays in DC as a top aide to a FORMER prez. ? No reporter curious about what she is doing?

This whole situation is a farce designed to “cover-up” everyone. Sorry Qtards, corruption and treason rule the day.

Barr is a lackey that has some good policy proposals, however some people are “too big to prosecute” so it's the “let's make a deal” canard. A lot of Dems (Pelosi will play Pontius Pilate but committee leaders/media will play pretend to weaken Trump for the 2020 run) have to continue to pursue Trump because of their politically active idiotic base might run to minor Parties or primary them out. Republican base has nowhere to go and the leaders know that “lessor of two evils” stuff works.

>>Rod has some splainin to do.<<

Rosenstein is on a very short leash at Justice, with Barr holding the other end. His performance at the press conference yesterday confirmed it. He was afraid to do anything but stand there the entire time with a blank look on his face, as if he’d been instructed: “Not a peep, a shrug, a smirk, or a smile out of you or this will start going very badly for you.”

He was even afraid to acknowledge Barr when Barr gave him some credit during the introductions.

Speaking of introductions, who was the bearded guy standing there along with them? I don’t think he was ever introduced.

Speaking of introductions, who was the bearded guy standing there along with them? I don’t think he was ever introduced.

Barr’s bearded neighbor is not as well known. He’s Edward O’Callaghan, a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, who joined the Department of Justice earlier this month as a principal associate deputy attorney general.

O’Callaghan’s career reveals a firm commitment to the Republican Party. As Newsweek reported, O’Callaghan previously worked for the 2008 presidential campaign of the late Senator John McCain. In that capacity, he traveled to Alaska to intervene in a state investigation into Sarah Palin, then the state’s governor and McCain’s running mate. Palin faced an ethics probe into her suspicious termination of the state’s Department of Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan; Monegan had reportedly refused to fire a state trooper who happened to be the ex-husband of Palin’s sister. According to Newsweek, O’Callaghan worked with Palin aide Meghan Stapleton to try to defuse the investigation.

“Stapleton and this guy did almost daily press conferences to discredit the investigation,” Hollis French, an Alaska legislator, told Newsweek. “She was the face Alaskans would recognize. Others would have no idea who this attorney was standing next to her.” Les Gara, a serving Democratic state legislator, told the magazine that O’Callaghan and Stapleton made the investigation “look like a Democratic attack against Palin.” Sounds familiar!

Eric Holder in an interview was asked about Rosenstein...

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/10/attorney-general-eric-holder-interview.html

Have you been in touch with him at all? Have you spoken with him or been in communication with him at all since he became the deputy AG responsible for the Mueller investigation?
Um [long pause]. I’d say no comment on that.

Understood.
You should not draw any conclusion one way or another; I’m just not, you know …

I am with you and am wondering why did Mueller finish the investigation when he did? He could have gone on and on through the next election too.

I never read anywhere where it stated as to why he concluded his investigation now.
Did Barr tell him to finish up?
Did Mueller develop a conscience and realize his never ending investigation was hurting the country - economically and in foreign matters?
Perhaps the democrats realizing there was no collusion told him to wrap it up so that they can make more political hay by attacking Barr and playing the “what if” game with all the redactions and the “obstruction” manufactured essay written by the Mueller-Clinton prosecutors.
