Free Republic

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This past week was the second straight during which multiple major new revelations about “Spygate” – the Obama Administration’s effort to fix the 2016 election and subsequent plot to execute a coup d’etat on a sitting POTUS – came to public light. You can find last week’s review at this link. Here follows a review of what we learned during the course of this week. First, Maria Bartiromo interviewed George Papadopoulous – one of the main targets of the FBI/CIA’s entrapment efforts against Trump officials – on her Sunday morning program, along...

If Hillary Clinton had won her rigged 2016 Presidential election and was then inaugurated as POTUS 45, America would have entered a very dark period. It's unlikely The Republic would have survived it. As Rex explains, Obama had already started building a totalitarian system. Clinton would have turned it into a dictatorship. Historians always remind us that in order to understand the present, we need to study the past. I'm going to add another angle - in order to predict the future, we need to study the present, as well. Over the last two weeks and today, America has witnessed...

The following RedState article appeared online yesterday. www.redstate.com/elizabeth-vaughn/2019/05/04/leaked-transcript-loretta-lynchs-pre-exoneration-tarmac-meeting-bill-clinton-shows-anxious-speak/ Most people don’t believe in coincidences. Nor should they in this case. The following hypothetical discussion provides a viable explanation that could account for the “surprise” encounter between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton on a Phoenix tarmac on June 27, 2016. The fact that the two met while the investigation of Bill’s wife was still pending was sufficient in and of itself to accomplish what they set out to do. And it really doesn’t matter what they said to each other when they met. It is quite possible that the infamous tarmac...

Welcome to 'Unfit to Print,' the new podcast that takes a deep dive into media mistakes, liberal bias, and fake news. In the inaugural episode, Daily Caller White House Correspondent Amber Athey takes on the media's delusion and conspiracy-riddled stories after special counsel Robert Mueller concluded his investigation into Russian collusion.

**SNIP** That was on June 28, 2012, when the House voted by 255-to-67 (including 17 Democrats in favor and two Republicans against) to hold Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt for failure to turn over documents related to the notorious “Operation Fast and Furious” (a move by the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau to permit sales of guns to criminals across the Mexican border in the hope it would lead to the capture of drug cartel leaders). Then-House Minority Leader Pelosi completely ignored the specific charge against Holder and told reporters that the entire concept of holding...

"""How Convenient. FBI ‘lost Notes’ From August 2015 Meeting with IC Inspector General Regarding Hillary Clinton’s Private Server"""" The FBI ‘lost notes’ from an August 2015 meeting with the Intelligence Community Inspector General about Hillary Clinton’s private server, according to new FBI docs released Friday. According to the newly released FBI docs related to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private server, Special Agents (SAs) have been gathering and copying materials in response to FOIA and stumbled across some ‘missing notes.’ How convenient.

When the “Russia collusion” scam failed so miserably as a means to take down this administration, liberal politicians and their media cronies got creative, coming up with ever more strained legal theories to justify their harassment of President Trump. The latest iteration is their effort to twist campaign finance laws to fit new, imagined crimes.A prime example of this wishful thinking is the attack on Donald Trump, Jr. over the infamous “Trump Tower Meeting.” Recall that a British publicist emailed Don Jr. in 2016, saying he would be meeting with some Russian citizens, and that Russian prosecutors possibly had “information...

BREAKING—- Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) requested information on Friday from the State Department, CIA, FBI and NSA on operative Joseph Mifsud. THIS IS DEVASTATING NEWS FOR ROBERT MUELLER AND THE DEMOCRATS ON THE SPECIAL COUNSEL — who lied in their report on their operative Joseph Mifsud who was NOT a Russian operative as the Mueller report claimed he was. FOX News reported: It has long been suggested that Mifsud was connected to Russian intelligence. But Nunes, in a Friday letter obtained by Fox News, questions that assumption, saying Mueller’s report “omits any mention of a wide range of contacts Mifsud...

Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen speculated on Friday that President Trump could face better odds at expanding his support base after Special Counsel Robert Mueller effectively ended his investigation into Russian meddling and potential obstruction of justice. "He is now free to go out and reach out to people in a way that he probably wasn't when the Mueller probe was happening," Thiessen said on "Special Report." Thiessen, who also served as former President George W. Bush's chief speechwriter, indicated that the investigation's end released Trump from intense criticism that nudged him toward coalescing around his base. "It gives him...

Two House Democrats have sent a letter to bar associations in Washington, D.C., and Virginia asking them to open an ethics investigation into Attorney General William Barr. Democratic Reps. Ted Lieu (Calif.) and Kathleen Rice (N.Y.) wrote to the associations on Thursday, a day after Barr's contentious hearing on Capitol Hill during which he defended his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report. "By deceiving Congress and the American people, who vested their trust in both the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Justice at large, Attorney General Barr must be subject to a professional review for...

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.

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...
