The former F.B.I. director James B. Comey was “insubordinate” in his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, a critical Justice Department report has concluded, according to officials and others who saw or were briefed on it. But the report, by the department’s inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, does not challenge the decision not to prosecute Mrs. Clinton. Nor does it conclude that political bias at the F.B.I. influenced that decision, the officials said. “We found no evidence that the conclusions by department prosecutors were affected by bias or other improper considerations,” the report said,...

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced late Thursday his office will release the highly anticipated report about how the FBI handled various aspects of the 2016 presidential election on Thursday, June 14. The announcement comes after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley again rescheduled a hearing, originally set for June 5, to go over the long awaited OIG investigation findings. "Thank you for inviting me to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 18, 2018, about the findings in the Office of the Inspector General's (OIG) forthcoming Review of Allegations Regarding Various Actions by the Federal...

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has agreed to further open its auto market to the United States as the two countries prepare to amend their 6-year-old trade agreement following complaints by President Donald Trump. ...It marks the first successful renegotiation of a trade deal for the Trump administration — which used the threat of 25 percent steel tariffs at the bargaining table — and comes as the allies sought to resolve disputes before planned meetings with Kim Jong Un.

China has agreed to “meaningful increases” in its purchase of U.S. agriculture and energy exports to help reduce the U.S. trade deficit, both countries said Saturday after wrapping up two days of high-stakes trade talks in Washington. A joint statement released by the White House said negotiators from both sides found “consensus on taking effective measures to substantially reduce the United States trade deficit in goods with China.” “To meet the growing consumption needs of the Chinese people and the need for high-quality economic development, China will significantly increase purchases of United States goods and services,” the statement said. “This...

New charges were filed Thursday against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner, ratcheting up the legal pressure on them as they prepare for a trial later this year. A new indictment has long been expected in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s prosecution of Manafort and his right-hand man, Rick Gates, on fraud and money laundering charges. Manafort served as President Trump’s campaign chairman from June to August 2016. Gates also served as a top official on Trump’s campaign. The new indictment contains 32 counts, including tax charges.

FULL TITLE: Q-Anon, Brenden Dilley, Lionel Nation, S Hannity, Dr Jerome Corsi et al How about a working BRAINSTORMING thread in Support of POTUS and our Republic Given Looming Big Changes? Background: My sense (& buddy's) is that the next several days to 2 weeks are highly likely (90+% chance) to entail dramatic, even shocking changes in our body politic; in DC; in the halls of power; in how the average citizen construes reality--particularly political and social realities.Highly likely events, changes (one or more of the following): surprising arrests, wealth confiscation &/or exposure of major treason and/or horrific child sex...

A week-long stay by the University of Wisconsin football team at a Florida resort owned by President Trump is providing new potential fodder for a lawsuit alleging that the president's private business has put him in violation of the Constitution. During a visit to Miami to play in last month's Orange Bowl, the University of Wisconsin — a public university — put up about 250 players, athletic department staff, senior university officials and board members at the Trump National Doral golf resort. The university's stay may provide new ammunition to the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia, which...

This video of Alan Dershowitz on Fox & Friends yesterday is worth three minutes of your time, if you haven’t already seen it. Dershowitz agrees with our assessment that Mueller’s plea agreement with Michael Flynn indicates that he doesn’t have a case. He adds a further point that we haven’t made: the last thing any prosecutor wants to do is force his key witness to plead guilty to lying. That destroys his credibility. So Mueller wouldn’t have gone with the “false statement” approach if he had anything better: Video

Finally, the American people have a politician who dosen’t care what party your in, but does care whether the job one fills for the people in government is being used with integrity and for the purpose of keeping the people and US on the motto most people believe in. “Justice for All” That hasn’t been the case in the before 2011, and Trey Gowdy moving to the Oversight Committee. A change that has opened the doors to corruption greater than all the US wars put together. Acts that many would call treason have been allowed to go through and pass...

quote: I've just spoken with the family of one of the victims who was paid by the Congressional slush fund. I can now confirm that at least one of the sexual assault victims was a minor, and Im hearing stories about multiple minors involved in this scandal. So awful. The list includes a number of high profile Democrats in both the Senate AND House. Some of the names may shock you, but right now A LOT of lawmakers are huddled with their staff trying to come up with a plan

"Tick tock..... From now into next year on many fronts!!!! Monday starts what will become an avalanche. Love to all deplorables. Tick tock!!"

Carter Page’s recent testimony in front of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee is not the big deal that the MSM are claiming it is. In fact, it actually exposes the media’s complicity in conjuring up the collusion charges through a false narrative of Russia working with the Trump campaign to get the Donald elected. Now over one year after the earth-shattering election last November and we are still discussing Russia. They will never learn. This past week, Page testified to the HIC that he sent an email to other aides of Trump that describe “a private conversation” he had...

A former campaign adviser to President Donald Trump has testified that he had contact with a high-level Russian official while on a trip to Russia last year. In a transcript released Monday by the House Intelligence Committee, Carter Page, who was a foreign policy adviser to Trump when he was a candidate, told the committee he “briefly said hello to” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich when he traveled to Russia for a speech. Page also told the panel he had informed some members of the Trump campaign about the trip, and he had planned to share information with them...

Anonymous intel sources just dumped some huge bombshells on 4chan. They've been converted the image files to link below. Wow if true! Anonymous Drop on 4chan dropping bread crumbs in the form of questions for you to follow along and connect the dots. You can figure out what certain initials mean. I figured most of them out. The great news is we won’t have long to wait to see if this source really has the intel correct. Take with a huge grain of salt for now. https://i.imgtc.com/0OvW7kI.jpg

For George Papadopoulos, the path to politics—and to President Donald Trump —was a circuitous one. The former Trump aide, who pleaded guilty in early October to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his contacts with Russians during the election campaign, entered the political world in 2015 with no campaign experience and little foreign policy background. A onetime oil and gas consultant who then served as a research associate at the conservative Hudson Institute and touted his Model United Nations experience as a credential, Mr. Papadopoulos began the 2016 presidential campaign by working for Republican Ben Carson. He was...

I have been hearing from friends via email, Facebook and Twitter that “ANTIFA” is apparently plotting a civil war in the United States that will begin on November 4, according to a pervasive right wing conspiracy theory. I'm wondering what freepers have heard. Many web sites and BLOGs on both sides of the issue.

Antifa has announced that they are planning to kill every single Trump voter, Conservative and gun owner this November 4th. The far-left terrorist organization have vowed to commit acts of ‘bloody violence’ by raiding peoples homes, seizing weapons and causing civil unrest on the streets of America.
