Read: White House Counsel Emmett Flood's letter to Attorney General Barr on Mueller report"!!

Deputy assistant director Jonathan Moffa’s testimony, which has been obtained exclusively by National Review, suggests there was more going on than has yet been admitted. The deputy assistant director at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Jonathan Moffa, was involved with the Russia–Trump investigation from the start. He was asked, in a closed-door Capitol Hill interview on August 24, 2018, to describe his role: “I was the section chief over counterintelligence analysis during the period of the election,” Moffa told lawmakers and staff. “And as a result, I had analysts who reported to me who supported the full range of the...

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham invited special counsel Robert Mueller to “provide testimony” to the panel if Mueller wanted to discuss any discrepancies with Attorney General William Barr’s responses to questions from lawmakers this week about a phone call between the two men. “Please inform the Committee if you would like to provide testimony regarding any misrepresentation by the Attorney General of the substance of that phone call,” Graham wrote to Mueller. Graham said Wednesday he will not ask Mueller to testify before the panel about the 448-page report he completed that cleared the Trump campaign of collaborating with...

The coming weeks will expose the true genesis of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation -- and just how it is tied to some of the highest Obama-era officials, according to former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy. McCarthy made the ominous prediction on Fox News host Bill Hemmer's “Hemmer Time” podcast and said he expects the answer to what really spurred the investigation to be revealed when the Department of Justice's Inspector General releases his much-anticipated report. “We're going to start getting the answers in the next four to six weeks when we can expect that Inspector General [Michael] Horowitz's reports...

Special counsel Robert Mueller said he is concerned about “public confusion” over his Russia report in a series of communications with Attorney General William Barr that came to light this week, solidifying the narrative that Barr mishandled the report and intentionally misled the public about his findings. Meanwhile, Mueller stood by for years as the media and Democratic politicians made mistake after mistake about key collusion and obstruction accusations, choosing to intervene only once, when a false Buzzfeed report threatened to result in impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. The FBI suspected as early as summer 2017 that the Steele...

The admissions within the New York Times story today -outlining how President Obama’s intelligence apparatus ran simultaneous intelligence operations against the Trump campaign- are starting to merge the FBI and CIA operations. CTH anticipated this. With new information about the “U.K. operation” using Stefan Halper (CIA asset and FBI informant); and the details of the contacts by U.S. intelligence operative Azra Turk; we can overlay the timeline and see a clear picture.

Nobody Home But Congress Chickens The “real” Barack Obama is finally standing up. Make that forcefully dragged to his feet by New York Times Chief White House correspondent Peter Baker, the unlikeliest of sources. Baker shows the world who Barack Obama, with all of his pretensions, really is in his updated book ‘Obama: The Call of History’

Poor Alisyn Camerota. She had so been hoping that the Mueller report would bring President Trump crashing down. And now that it seems very unlikely that will happen, Alisyn is deeply bummed. Or, as Camerota put it on CNN's New Day this morning, "I’m sorry if I sound like they've broken my spirit," adding that the lack of action against President Trump is "disheartening." Camerota was so downcast that when she said, "I'm sorry if it sounds like they've broken my spirit," co-host John Berman jumped in: "That's what it sounds like!" Get the rest of the story and view...

Sean Hannity reports:We have breaking news: An admission from the Ukrainian embassy that, in fact, the DNC did try to collude with their government during the 2016 election. We actually have evidence. We are going to show you how the Democratic Party is unraveling right before your eyes, lawmakers, presidential candidates alike literally melting down because they are Russia, Russia, Russia, collusion fantasy -- it's over. Anything from here on is just noise, nothing more, noise. The witch hunt is done. Mueller has gone home. No collusion, no obstruction.

ByWill ChamberlainonMay 1, 2019 When the Mueller Report was released on April 18th, most commentators focused on the “explosive” factual allegations. But other than the shocking revelation that the President once used an expletive in private, very few of those facts were novel; most were leaked long ago.At the end of Volume II of the Mueller Report, however, there were 20 pages of genuinely new material.There, the former FBI director turned Special Counsel Robert Mueller defended his “Application of Obstruction-Of-Justice Statutes To The President.” These overlooked 20 pages were dedicated to defending Mueller’s interpretation of a single subsection of a...

Hillary Clinton recently editorialized about the second volume of special counsel Robert Mueller’s massive report. She concluded of the report’s assorted testimonies and inside White House gossip concerning President Trump’s words and actions that “any other person engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted.” Psychologists might call her claims “projection.” That is the well-known psychological malady of attributing bad behavior to others as a means of exonerating one’s own similar, if not often even worse, sins. After 22 months of investigation and $34 million spent, the Mueller report concluded that there was no Trump-Russia collusion — the main...

"BREAKING: Special Counsel Mueller “deeply disturbed” by Pelosi accusations against AG Barr today and is urging Nadler to push up his hearing to testify and correct the record as soon as possible - @OANN"

MSNBC wasn’t the only network to interrupt the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General William Barr. ABC News decided to cut in to offer close to a half hour of Barr bashing because…they wanted to get in the allegation that he lied. This is the latest Democratic attack line, which was also manufactured without evidence. Barr being viewed, as a Trump agent was an inevitable consequence of his confirmation to the top DOJ post, despite being supremely qualified for the job. And it was on full display today. The Democrat-media complex is hard at work trying to destroy Barr,...

Former US Attorney Joe diGenova joined Lou Dobbs on Tuesday night following the Washington Post’s latest junk bombshell that Robert Mueller objected to Barr’s summary of the Russia probe. diGenova blasted Mueller and his sidekick Andrew Weissmann for this latest stunt in their attempt at a presidential coup. Joe deGenova: The bottom line here is this is a continuation of a very bad process here that Bob Mueller started by hiring a bunch of Demcrats and having them led by Andrew Weissmann who showed up at Hillary Clinton’s so-called victory party and broke into tears with her. This is an...

Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller expressed concerns in a letter to Attorney General William Barr that Barr's four-page letter to Congress summarizing the "principal conclusions" of Mueller's findings didn't fully capture his 448-page report, according to a source with knowledge of Mueller's letter. Later, Barr and Mueller spoke by phone and while Mueller didn't think Barr's letter was inaccurate, the special counsel believed his report was more nuanced on the obstruction of justice issue, according to Justice Department officials. Mueller was frustrated by media coverage, and wanted more of the report to come out, those officials told CNN.

Attorney General William Barr will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, the first of two back-to-back hearings he will take part in on Capitol Hill this week. Democrats are expected to grill the attorney general over his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference. Barr has come under fire over what some see as his mishandling of the long-awaited release of Mueller's report in April. His testimony will also come a day after the bombshell revelation that Mueller had sent a letter to Barr expressing "frustration" over the attorney general's four-page memo sent to...

UPDATE: Judge Napolitano responded to President Trump's tweet in an interview Monday morning on FOX Business network. In an interview cited by the president on Twitter, legal scholar Alan Dershowitz makes the case for why FOX News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano is wrong when he says the Mueller report demonstrates that President Trump committed obstruction of justice. "In my introduction to the Mueller report, I go through the elements of obstruction of justice. The act itself has to be illegal. It can't be an act that is authorized under Article Two of the Constitution," Dershowitz said, "It can't be obstruction...

Let the games begin! House Intelligence chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) told the Washington Post’s Robert Costa that he will make a criminal referral to the Department of Justice against Erik Prince for perjury. At issue is Prince’s testimony to his committee that a meeting in the Seychelles with a Russian financier was unplanned, while Prince’s testimony to special-counsel investigators suggest it was planned: House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that his panel would make a criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding potential false testimony by Erik Prince, the billionaire founder of the private military...

Scattered across the 448-page report released by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller are noteworthy findings about the extent of the Russians’ machinations, the ploys they used to insinuate themselves into the voting structure of a battleground county, and the ways in which Kremlin-tied saboteurs interacted with reporters. ... For media outlets that have disregarded Matthew 7:5’s injunction to cast out the plank in their own eyes before focusing on the speck afflicting others, a cornea-stabbing sliver in the Special Counsel’s report indicates that Russian intelligence agents cloaked in their DCLeaks persona “gave certain reporters early access to archives of leaked...
