Consistent with that expectation The Russian Puppet canceled an overseas trade and security trip to South America to stay in the capitol and manage the response to the widening criminal investigation of his campaign and businesses. Look for increasing criticism of Sessions as further prelude.

Tell you something else. While it may be routine for PornFucker administration employees to “Netflix-and-chill” at home for months at a time while drawing their paychecks, none of Mueller’s people have had a day off in weeks. This team is going balls day and night. Earning it every day.
The Roypublicans will probably pull the plug any day now and shut it all down because they are getting too close to the truth. But while it lasted these folks have done great work that they can be proud of. Most of them are fairly young, very ambitious, and highly regarded. They will go on to do more big things. And under the circumstances, despite how many of them have leaned Republican in the past, I’d say the majority will dedicate their careers to opposing that corrupt movement.

Attorney Client Privilege!
Cohen is in deep shit. For explanation, read here:

@7 “Dow’s up 500 and the CBOE VIX is down 4.5%.”
Yeah, funny how that happens at the same time the feds come for Trump’s lawyer. Probably no correlation. The stock bump probably has more to do with Xi’s remarks. But at the very least, the stock market is unperturbed by the prospect of Orange Julius’s lawyer going down.
@15 Nothing untoward going on, because there’s an exception to the attorney-client privilege, known to attorneys as the “crime-fraud exception.”
https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/10/politics/trump-cohen-crime-fraud-exception/index.html
It’s very difficult to get a search warrant under this exception. Such warrants are very rare, as they should be. The hurdle is very high; you have to convince a judge the attorney is misusing the privilege to commit a fraud or crime.
Mueller just did.
18,
More money laundering. I think there’s some good reason to suspect that a considerable component of the financial backing of the businesses is derived from funds that would otherwise be legally disqualified. Besides the routine of financial fraud and swearing false statements on filings and disclosures, there’s a very suspicious pattern of transactions involving persons and business entities under sanction.
Real Estate has traditionally been a convenient vehicle for these kinds of schemes. There are probably thousands of ways to move money through a large development project or management contract to create the records of payments capable of acting as a substitute source. It can be done without the knowledge or approval of accountants, since on paper the transactions all appear legitimate. And so long as the entities involved are private companies using private funding no independent auditing is required. But it’s almost impossible to put together without a crooked lawyer. Cohen is in very serious trouble.
@19 Mueller appears to be zeroing in on the source of the $130,000 payment to Daniels. A Russian oligarch donated $150,000 to the Trump Foundation at about the same time, so Mueller may suspect the Russians bought Daniels’ silence. Interesting.
Also, looks like Daniels’ lawyer may have left $20k on the table, i.e., “here’s $150k, but try to get her to take less.” The Art of the Deal.
@20
Another possibility, Cohen is burying the $130,000 reimbursement of the payment to Daniels in plausible but fraudulent billing hours.
20,
I don’t think Mueller is directly involved. I think he’s come across information from other sources that implicates Cohen in serious financial crimes that may fall outside his authorization. According to statute, under those circumstances he reports to the senior politically responsible authority (DAG Rosenstein). In consultation with Rosenstein it may be that it was decided to refer the information to the USA for So. NY for a separate investigation.
The other possibility is that the OSC are trying to protect parallel discovery / avoid claims of parallel construction. Having the So. NY office execute the search could help refute defense claims that evidence legally obtained elsewhere came from priv. material not specified in the warrant. And of course the two possibilities are not mutually exclusive. So doing it this way is just smart, ethical, conservative procedure – sounds just like a decorated Marine combat hero. Again, if in the course of their investigation the USA for So. NY discover something that would be of importance to the OSC the DAG will review it and make a decision.
Either way, I think the fear factor is beginning to set in. I think somebody in a position to know and with a credible reputation for honest testimony offered Cohen up to Mueller to save themselves. It must have been enough to convince a federal magistrate, two USAs and the DAG. But for now Mueller is going to stick to his knitting and let the other office run that show. And if it helps leverage cooperation from Cohen it might be taken into consideration. I think that’s pretty unlikely.
If it isn’t yet obvious, all this should suggest that the DAG is not remotely interested in the President’s demands to wrap things up. He’s now running multiple investigations into people and events tied directly to President PornHub, his businesses, his lawyers, and his campaign. It isn’t getting smaller. It is growing. And it has been for quite some time. The DAG memo authorizing the OSC to go after Manafort’s money laundry was issued last summer.
I still think he will be fired. But it’s at least possible that firing him now, for all that it will cost them, won’t really protect the PornHub Party and its President from these investigations. Fine time for President PornHub to find himself without a criminal defense attorney – well except for the contingency guy who teaches medieval history. That guy should be a big help.

@22
Kind of where my head’s at right now. All parties, both Meuller haters and sane people agree that to go after an Attorney’s potentially privileged dealings, is an extraordinary act that takes far more than the standard amount of probable cause to obtain a warrant.
For this to be nothing, one has to assume that Meuller, a Republican has shifted so far to the partisan left that he’s willing to destroy himself to “gin up” charges. That and Meuller is so unaware of the political pressure to appear non-partisan that he’s tossing all caution to the wind. And several U.S. attorneys, Republicans among them, are willing to open themselves up to judicial discipline for filing a questionable warrant, and that a Federal Judge is also willing to take “nothing” and authorize the warrant. And now it’s being reported that Rosenstein, hand picked by Trump, explicitly approved of filling for the warrant. So yeah, it’s all a partisan distraction. Makes perfect sense.
In the end, I suspect this will have not a lot to do with a Russian “Witch Hunt” and more to do with Cohen being a deeply criminal conspirator.
Why? Well we know that NY State AG is still looking at the Trump Foundation that according to reports was pretty severely mismanaged. Criminally? Maybe. We know that millions of dollars in suspicious fees for Video Speaking engagements, way above market real estate purchases and possibly direct campaign donations by foreign entities have flowed through Trump organizations. We know that Cohen, by his own admission, facilitated a payment to Stormy that he now claims he never ran by his client and it was his own money. We know that Cohen acted as an Attorney of record for a lot of really shady looking transactions.
Those are just the things that have been reported in the press.
Cohen could very be a Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman like fixer of all kinds of shady and illegal money laundering and a preponderance of evidence from NYAG/Meuller/FBI that Cohen is at the center of a whole series of crimes that 45 may very well be involved in without knowing the details and maintaining plausible deniability.
At this point, the best DJT can hope for is that Meuller can’t find a winnable case against him directly while a bunch of his close associates end up in prison or pardoned.
@27 Apparently Trump thinks HE is “our country.” But he’s not. He’s only the sewer pipe.
@26 One gives Doctor Dumbfuck a tax cut, the other doesn’t. Decisions are easy when your only value is “mo’ money!”
28,
As RR has referenced the requirements for such a warrant go well beyond Mueller being “captured by the Derp State”. There are two USAs hand selected by Trump himself signing off on the warrant app. And the DAG, also a Roypublican, also selected by the Trump admin. And then Mueller himself, who as you correctly note has absolutely no hint of partisanship or political influence in his history. These claims about “unfairness” belie a kind of partisan paranoia we haven’t seen in a President since perhaps Nixon. That it is becoming “common sense” among Roypublicans suggests that as a political party they may no longer be capable of working within a democratic system governed by the rule of law.
It’s just incredible to think how much damage Trump is doing to them, not just politically, but institutionally. He is systematically emptying their ranks of anyone capable of displaying the qualities required to work in a politically open, free, and lawful governmental system. They are either being driven out, driven under, or driven to conform. In barely a year he has succeeded in transforming their party agenda, reducing it to little more than a racist bumper sticker.
Trump is itching to fire Mueller. He’s been warned not to, but can’t help himself. He’s gonna do it.

Looks like Arizona will be the next GOP-mismanaged state to experience a statewide school shutdown over defunding of public education.
The other issue with the going to extraordinary burdens of proof to get the warrant against Cohen….
It’s not likely a career investigator or AG/Fed Prosecutor risks tainting the case on high suspicions. So likely the warrant is taking a slam dunk case and moving it to Dunk, intentional foul, and one ball stays in possession.
32,
President Man-Baby gathers his loyal minions and cheerleaders in the Offal Office to witness him signing some document ordering something neither the constitution nor the USC empower him to do. What happens? Nothing. Gen. Dreedle can’t order the execution of Maj. Danby either. Imagine that.
Neither Rosenstein nor Mueller are legally obligated to commit crimes, no matter who orders them. What follows is anybody’s guess. But I think what’s more interesting, since the President clearly has the authority to replace Rod Rosenstein and/or Jeff Session, is why the White House would insist on putting it this way? Aside from them being a mob of bat-shit crazy perverts, a reasonable explanation might be that they don’t actually want to fire him.
They may instead believe that such an exercise would make for good political theater, pander to drooling half-wits like our trolls and the rest of his voters, discredit the investigation, and otherwise lay the political groundwork for some disgusting exercise of the Presidential authority to pardon. That would be more in keeping with President PornHub’s personality. He already knows he has a nearly limitless authority to pardon. He’s tested it. It worked. And I think he was very pleased with the results. Mueller has assured him he is not a “target”. So at least for him personally (and for Trump nothing else really matters) choosing a meaningless legal showdown over a substantial one may be the more attractive option.
Misdirecting the “FAKE liberal media” “who are all very against him” “and not very nice” is something he’s certainly delighted to do. And in the end if his efforts to obstruct are preempted by a “technicality” that would very much serve as justification for sweeping pardons in the minds of the stupid meat puppets who vote for Roypublicans these days. And if he’s really confident that he’s not facing indictment (and he’s not) then “fighting back” against “the very bad and corrupt FBI” by granting a ton of pardons makes him look powerful, and heroic to those who think like him.
If the White House continues talking like this I just might have to reassess my prediction about the Mueller firing.
35,
Cohen has been up to his eyeballs in Russians and Ukranians since he finished law school. More than a few of them have direct ties to organized crime. More than a few of them have direct ties to Kuchma and Yanukovich. One distinct possibility is that he’s been thrown under the bus by Team Putin. When you conspire with criminals that’s always a risk.
@36 Somehow indictments keep getting in the way of Trump’s efforts to discredit Mueller’s investigation as a “big nothing.” Strangely, committing crimes keeps prosecutors in business.
@37 Nah. Putin doesn’t throw people who know too much under the bus. He uses nerve agents. Less blood to clean up.
38,
he only has to weaken the investigation’s credibility enough to make the pardons seem like something just short of a political crisis. That’s a much lower bar than justifying a murder spree at DOJ. And it has more of a “Reality Television” feel to it.

@56 A dumbfuck point well made, Doctor Dumbfuck. Laura has only only shit advertisers left (and very few of them).
Here in the elite, coastal, affluent, highly educated, healthy, progressive bubble it is very easy to lose contact with the other end of the progressive voter spectrum whose numbers can make the difference between winning and losing in flyover country. Yes, the dirty secret (not-so-secret) is that on average Roypublican voters make more money.
To start, Roypublican voters are much older on average, so that right there has a huge impact on average income. They are also much whiter (as in, like totally white) and that too skews incomes. And one of the sadder artifacts of modern post-Reagan conservatism has been massive declines in participation by younger, and minority voters. But Steve Bannon noticed something interesting about the numbers of non-participants (and the electoral college) that Democrats are only just starting to cotton on to.
There’s a huge reservoir of non-participating voters out there. They are younger, poorer, and more likely to be minorities. They turned out in unprecedented numbers whenever Barack Obama’s name appeared on a ballot. But beyond that, the party is still searching for the decoder ring to those voters.
These guys have discovered one good idea. This is a policy approach, not an identity based approach. Democrats can reach these voters, regardless of their racial identity, by emphasizing the policy approaches we all enthusiastically support. Medicaid expansion in those states controlled by stupid, retrograde, child molesting, trailerbilly Roypublicans can bring those people to the polls. Get them to the polls and you get them thinking about whether or not they really want to pay for $88,000 office furnishings and coke parties, while laying off their kid’s teachers. That’s an easy slam dunk. And we don’t have to protect Klansmen or share racist jokes to pull it off.

Trump’s fans aren’t exactly intellectuals …
It’s not even November yet, but the concession speeches are already starting:
“His timing now is going to be interpreted as an acknowledgment that the House is lost,” said Dan Eberhart, CEO of the oilfield services company Canary and a fundraiser for the GOP. “Donors are going to naturally shift their focus to the Senate.”

And for the PornHub Party “JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US!” was?
I’ll spot you guys that.
Bannon, Miller, Lewandoski, and Cambridge Analytica etc. had a superior strategy. Not just superior to Clinton. Superior to every other candidate, including more than a dozen of the most likable, qualified, well financed, and competent candidates the Roypublican Party has produced in a generation. It’s fair to say that they obliterated their competition in the party primary. And in the general election the white nationalism succeeded in turning out about a million non-participating older white voters, about 70,000 of whom were right where they needed them.
But here’s the thing: candidates come and go. We get to choose new candidates in every party primary. While the PornHub Party is stuck with the Tiki Torches, Confederate war flags, cross burning, and angry shirtless racists for at least a generation. Pro Tip: this is why Paul Ryan is done.
76,
There is an “interracial cuckoldry” preoccupation (and obviously corresponding Clinton and Obama preoccupations) among the alt-right. It’s frighteningly wide spread and very well documented. It is precisely where the popular term “cuckservative” came from – the origins of which are firmly rooted in white supremacy.
The idea (now very popular among Roypublicans) is that all “liberal stuff” ultimately represent a surrender to “inferior people”. And the ultimate surrender to “inferior people” for any white male (to the point of race treason) would be to sexually “surrender” his wife to a black man. Thus any conservative willing to compromise in the slightest to “liberal stuff” is the equivalent of a sexually submissive cuckold, controlled by his dominating wife, who forces him to suffer the routine humiliations of her liaisons with black men.
Sure. It’s highly pathological. But more importantly, it’s entirely consistent with a white nationalist identity. And so long as they don’t think about any of it too deeply, it’ll do it’s job transforming the entire conservative movement into a mob of angry white racists.
The piker doesn’t want to pay taxes, either.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: If you’re a fan of this guy, you’re a real dumbfuck.
NYT is reporting that they have three sources who reviewed the warrant who say that one of the things listed in the warrant was “records relating to the “Access Hollywood” tape”.
Remember, this is not Mueller’s team. This is the USA for So NY. So it’s possible the “three sources” might be from that office. But it’s more likely to be folks from Squire Patton Boggs, where Cohen kept his offices as part of a business development agreement. They would have been the people on site who were allowed to review the warrant in full while the FBI was carrying out the search there.
But it’s potentially fascinating to speculate why that material would be listed in the warrant. Remember this would be evidence of serious criminal violations originally uncovered by Mueller, but considered unrelated to Mueller’s work. I think it’s very unlikely that this is because of election finance violations. I think it’s more likely that somehow Mueller discovered a criminal source of funds under the control of Cohen and being used for the tapes, the NDAs, and apparently the taxi medallions, which means it goes back a good while.
That dude is fucked. This goes way beyond Stormy Daniels. He should just cut his losses on that account and concentrate on staying out of SuperMax.
And he should probably avoid touching door handles for the foreseeable future too.
History will remember Paul Ryan as the guy who screwed the pooch.
“Paul Ryan, who once aspired to advance the vision of conservative icon Jack Kemp, will leave Washington carrying a more tarnished legacy—as the most important enabler of Donald Trump.
“No one in the GOP was better equipped, by position and disposition alike, to resist Trump’s racially infused, insular nationalism, or to define a more inclusive competing vision for the party.
“Instead, Ryan chose to tolerate both Trump’s personal excesses and his racially polarizing words and deeds as the price worth paying to advance Ryan’s own top priorities: cutting spending; regulations; and above all, taxes.
“The result was that Ryan, more than any other prominent Republican, personified the devil’s bargain the GOP has signed with Trump.”

Pooches got screwed. But Ryan didn’t do it to them. They did it to themselves. And they started doing it fifty years ago when it became manifestly clear that government was going to have to start looking out for more than just white men.
Meanwhile, the GOP speaker of Ohio’s lower legislative body has resigned amid an FBI corruption probe.

“… at which point he sighs and laments that there were, in his mind, more than a dozen competent choices in 2016.”
They did this to themselves. They set their primary up to produce a result like Trump. Starting in February of 2009 they began the positioning and posturing in the most extremely obstructionist ways possible. They openly admitted that their only purpose was to obstruct the President and if possible deny him a second term. Nothing else. From that moment forward the identity of the party became all about slaying Obama.
And when it finally came time to produce a primary battle theater for their base voters the entire affair was all about who could be the most offensive, outspoken, unbridled Obama slayer of them all. They created a primary that was customized to the Trump strategy.
Speaking of doing it to themselves, I’m finally getting past mourning the loss of the loon. After all, it’s his own damned fault that he got lynched. He never should have hung out with those white supremacists. SAD!
Hey y’all*!
The Fifty Shades of Trailerbilly report hit the newsstands this afternoon.
It’s a classic “boy meets girl, boy invites girl over to his basement for a “sexy workout”, boy ties up girl and slaps her face with his penis while she cries” kinda story. It’s a great read and the trolls and all their wives are going to really enjoy it.
Cheers!
*For Teh Dumbfuck.
More 93,
And here’s the main thing: Greitens continues to deny that he’s a bondage freak (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) who raped his hair stylist (definitely something wrong with that) and blames her (the dirty lying whore) and now the Roypublican state legislators who compiled the report on his “sexy workout” dungeon activities.
And still, only a small handful of Show Me State Roypublicans are willing to openly call for the Guv to step down and resume his promising career as a “Specialty” motivational speaker. That’s an pretty important “me too” difference between Dems and Trailerbillies. A difference the Trailerbillies might not get, but one I suspect their wives do.
@94 I can’t feel sorry for the wives. They must have known what they were marrying. After all, it’s hard to make a weasel look like a bishop.
Short of getting hit by a bus or skiing into a tree, a freak like Ryan never goes away.
The freak will be the darling of the Koch’s for as long as their miserable lives play out. Step aside little low life Scotty.
Nice to see. Thought I’d feel better about it.

Huh! I wonder if anyone ever freed Mr. Klynical’s goats?
97,
I’d like to see a statistcally significant pro Dem swing among college educated females. I think Greitens helps with that. I’m hoping, anyway. If McCaskill can get close to double digits it makes a huge difference. Trump won the state by close to 20 points. Now it isn’t even clear if the Roypublican front runner, Hawley, would want Trump to visit. As one might expect, turnout will make the difference. There’s like 100 counties in MO with fewer than 40,000 voters. And Trump took every one. There are 5 counties where McCaskill has to out-perform Kander, and 100 counties where Hawley has to under perform Trump. Anything that discourages trailerbillies helps.
That’s some kinky shit @ 93..
Nothing more laugh out loud funny than the latest roypublican bedroom antics.

Greitens continues to insist that the victim made the whole thing up. After reading the report I can only conclude that unless Greitens is lying, somehow David Lynch has been masquerading as a female hair stylist in MO. Nobody else could have dreamed that shit up.
Evidence is emerging that EPA dismantler-in-chief Scott Pruitt lied when he claimed he didn’t know about extravagant raises for his underlings
https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/12/politics/epa-scott-pruitt-travel-security-congress/index.html
and disciplined staffers for not approving his lavish travel on taxpayers’ dimes.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics.....d=54419225
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Pruitt should not only be impeached, he also should get jail time. But this is a guy Trump won’t fire because he’s holding him in reserve to replace Sessions in order to fire Mueller. What Pruitt doesn’t realize, of course, is that after he’s done Trump’s dirty work he, too, will be expendable and get thrown under the bus. The key to working for Trump is understanding that, with Trump, loyalty is a one-way street. Even the Mafia treats its soldiers better than Trump treats his.
@101 “There’s no human alive who would want to fuck her.”
But there’s one straining at the bit to stick his nose up her pussy and smell her.
“Democratic lawmakers on Thursday released a pair of letters detailing pages of allegations leveled at embattled EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt by a long-time Trump staffer who … confirmed many of the details of [news] reports … [and] also leveled new charges of ‘wasteful spending, unethical behavior and improper retaliation against EPA staff on the part of Pruitt.'”
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/12/epa-whistleblower-details-allegations-against-scott-pruitt.html
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Under virtually any other administration, he would be summarily fired, but this isn’t “any other” administrator. In Trump’s corrupt administration, expediency is everything, and law and ethics count for nothing. This is a situation where you have to cut off the head of the snake to keep it from giving birth to more snakes. In other words, impeaching Pruitt won’t accomplish much unless Congress also impeaches Trump, because even if Pruitt is removed, Trump will replace him with another corrupt tool. The only way to clean up the EPA (and our air and water) is to cap-and-trade the denier-in-chief.
It isn’t the administration.
It is the party. “Any other” administration from the PornHub Party would act no differently. Impeaching the President would make little difference, since any other Roypublican would behave just as badly. That’s what Ryan’s surrender means.
The Seahawks had contacted Kaepernick about two weeks ago to arrange a visit to the team’s headquarters, but after tentative arrangements were made and travel was planned, the trip was unexpectedly scuttled over the Seahawks’ last-minute stipulation regarding Kaepernick’s anthem stance, a source told ESPN.
The source said the Seahawks wanted to know that Kaepernick wouldn’t kneel this season, and he was unwilling to give that assurance to them.

Yes, I specifically recall Hillary picking Donald Trump to run against because he’s exactly like all of the other GOP primary candidates.
That’s what Ryan’s surrender means.
His children are 13, 15, and 16. He gave up the job he coveted, running W&M, so he could herd cats. He’ll have done the job for most of three years. Hell, Pelosi only lasted four.
@109 “If you’re such an asshole that everyone knows you’re an asshole, what’s the conspiracy?”
In Doctor Dumbfuck World, protesting police murders of unarmed black men makes Kaepernick an “asshole,” because blacks like him are supposed to know their place.
Kaepernick may well end up sacrificing his NFL career to the dictates of his conscience and loyalty to his race. That makes him a hero, and Doctor Dumbfuck is the asshole.
@110 Wherein Doctor Dumbfuck doesn’t know the difference between herding cats and groveling to greedy billionaires.
The other reason Trump can’t fire Pruitt (other than the obvious that he sees nothing wrong with the behavior) is that he will not get another EPA head through Congress. It’s a rocky road from here on with his appointees.
23, count them, TWENTY-THREE Felonies.
And he’s just a bit player in that great game of graft, malfeasance, money-laundering, espionage, treason, sedition, insurance fraud, securities fraud, real-estate fraud, tax fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, perjury, misprison of felony, AND conspiracy to commit all of the above that constitutes the real purpose and program of the Republican Party.
TWENTY-THREE FELONIES! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah…

“The other reason Trump can’t fire Pruitt (other than the obvious that he sees nothing wrong with the behavior) is that he will not get another EPA head through Congress.”

Ryan knows that the government is broken and as a leader in the House, it is incumbent upon him to work with his majority and the POTUS (which is from his party). The truth is, Ryan knows damn well the White House, White House staff, and the cabinet is nothing more than a dumpster fire and he clearly does not want any part of it.
Nice to see him using his kids as an excuse to bail on his constituents and run to private sector to make a fortune.
Plus, knowing how much Trump has pissed off the world, maybe Ryan thinks it is a real chance that someone takes out #1 and #2 and that would mean Ryan would inherit the whole flaming pile of shit and he realized and came to the conclusion, “Fuck that!”
Yes, it is clearly a surrender on his part.

Experts described the recordings as a potential ‘gold mine’ …, saying that if they exist and are admissible in court, they could prove extremely valuable to prosecutors.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Trump is sooooo fucked …
@125
So Roger, what are your thoughts on this scenario: say Trump resigns as POTUS; could he regroup and potentially run for POTUS again? I suppose he would technically be eligible because he would have not served two terms.
As outlandish as that thought may be, it could be a possibility. Trump’s ego would never let him quit and nobody thought he would get elected the first time and the trailer-hillbilly-racist crowd finally has a voice, stranger things have happened.

Trump says he pardoned Scooter Libby — whose prison sentence was commuted by Bush before serving a day behind bars — because Libby “hasn’t been treated fairly.”
For a guy who deserves to be doing life in Florence, I would argue that Libby has already been treated more than fairly.

Soooooooooooooooooo McCabe lied 4 times? https://static01.nyt.com/files/2018/us/politics/20180413a-doj-oig-mccabe-report.pdf
We found that, in a conversation with then-Director Comey shortly after the WSJ article was published, McCabe lacked candor when he told Comey, or made statements that led Comey to believe, that McCabe had not authorized the
disclosure and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.5 (Lack of Candor – No Oath).
We also found that on May 9, 2017, when questioned under oath by FBI agents from INSD, McCabe lacked candor when he told the agents that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath).
We further found that on July 28, 2017, when questioned under oath by the OIG in a recorded interview, McCabe lacked candor when he stated: (a) that he was not aware of Special Counsel having been authorized to speak to reporters around October 30 and (b) that, because he was not in Washington, D.C., on October 27 and 28, 2016, he was unable to say where Special Counsel was or what she was doing at that time. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath).
We additionally found that on November 29, 2017, when questioned under oath by the OIG in a recorded interview during which he contradicted his prior statements by acknowledging that he had authorized the disclosure to the WSJ, McCabe lacked candor when he: (a) stated that he told Comey on October 31, 2016, that he had authorized the disclosure to the WSJ; (b) denied telling INSD agents on May 9 that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ about the
PADAG call; and (c) asserted that INSD’s questioning of him on May 9 about the October 30 WSJ article occurred at the end of an unrelated meeting when one of the INSD agents pulled him aside and asked him one or two questions about the article. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath).

This is why you can’t afford your own copy of Barron’s.
Hey, at least the events of the day demonstrate clearly why McCabe opened his GoFundMe account BEFORE the report was released.
Liberals are stupid, but most of them aren’t THAT stupid. Outside of Seattle, I mean.
I’m very happy to see that the loon hasn’t been lynched by his white supremacist friends yet. But it’s bound to happen sooner or later, so I’m saving the eulogy I wrote.
Roger Rabbit IQ Test
This simple one-question quiz is designed to test whether the subject has at least as much brains as an eggplant or is a hopeless dumbfuck. Note, although there are two answer choices given, there is only one correct answer.
Question: Which of the following is the more serious offense, and deserving of the harsher punishment, in terms of its consequences for the public wellbeing?
[ ] A. Lying under oath in a deposition about private consensual sexual conduct.
[ ] B. Outing a covert CIA agent for short-term partisan gain.
@163 Yeah, better keep it on file. Just. In. Case.
Despite his weird obsession with Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades, Doctor Dumbfuck remains unperturbed by the rampant sexual misconduct of Republican office holders. Probably because he considers their behavior “normal” compared to what he does.
Hey shitstain steve,
Good to see you in pixels worrying about me. Been to Florida and returning again later this year. No threat of lynching. Butt, seems to me stooooooooopidity still reigns supreme up here!
Till Next Time!

Judith Miller recanted her testimony. I know it doesn’t fit your narrative, but it’s fact nonetheless.
The False Evidence Against Scooter Libby
A key witness says she was led by Patrick Fitzgerald to testify falsely. This puts the case in a whole new light.
Mr. Fitzgerald, who had the classified file of Ms. Plame’s service, withheld her State Department cover from Ms. Miller—and from Mr. Libby’s lawyers, who had requested Ms. Plame’s employment history. Despite his constitutional and ethical obligation to provide exculpatory evidence, Mr. Fitzgerald encouraged Ms. Miller to misinterpret her ambiguous notes as showing that Mr. Libby brought up Ms. Plame…
If Ms. Miller had testified accurately, she would have dealt a severe blow to Mr. Fitzgerald’s central contention that Mr. Libby was lying when he said he was surprised to hear Russert mention Ms. Plame.

Hey y’all, since we’re talking about Joe Wilson’s wife and Steve @ 159 is all over some chick for retweeting some stuff uncritically – hey, Steve, since you pointed out she can barely speak English is it possible that she can’t really comprehend what it is she’s retweeting, too? – let’s take a little stroll down memory lane, shall we?
Valerie Plame resigns from Ploughshares Fund after tweeting anti-Semitic article
http://thehill.com/policy/inte.....hares-fund
That’s not something she just forwarded. It’s something she suggested people actually read, and then initially defended it when she rightfully got some pushback. It contained passages such as this:
For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison — translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”
Y’all libbies made her a star. Y’all libbies should eat it for having done so.
163,
Now we know what penance is for ass fucking the invisible sky goat by posting after sundown on goat day.
Two weeks. Holy shit that’s a lot for that freak.
@169,
Would that be like outing the Klamath Mountain hillbilly as a SCUMGASBAG?
Hmmm…? Only thing is that would be truthful!
Just checking!
Till Next Time
I wonder if Greitens does goats too?
Been waiting for the Klamath Mountain hillbilly SCUMGASBAG to comment on Puddy’s Friday Night commentary.
Apparently the Bible is not a friend to the Klamath Mountain hillbilly SCUMGASBAG!
Matthew 12:12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath
Mark 3:4 Then he turned to his critics and asked, “Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?” But they wouldn’t answer him.
Luke 6:9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?”
Didn’t Puddy wish the salamander Happy Good Friday?
What a chump the Klamath Mountain hillbilly SCUMGASBAG is!
Till Next Time!
Cohen’s gong to need a pardon…
In court proceedings today it’s revealed He’s been under a a Grand Jury investigation for months, he uses several email accounts (Don’t we all, right Hillary?) for which investigators had previously received warrants, 45 may be his sole legal client, he was under investigation for fraud relating to not only his legal practice but for his other non-privileged businesses as well…but wait, there’s more.
Guilty people freak out about privilege and “Total Witch Hunt” and death of due process when they assume they are the target. it would appear that, as many suggested at the time, it likely had nothing to do with 45 or Russia. That’s just collateral damage. Own goal Mr President.
Be curious if Dershowitz will be asked back on all the conservative medias to explain that now that he knows that Cohen is barely a lawyer engaged in criminal acts this is a pretty routine case and not an extraordinary constitutional breach as he assumed before having any facts.
Facts, that’s a good word. I’ve heard it here sometimes.
171,
Simmer down there ya freak.
Steve’s worried about you for some reason. So we don’t want you gettin’ so lathered up that you pop a vessel and violate another sky goat rule so soon after makin’ it back from your painful self banishment (and self flagellation? Sure!).
Just breathe and count.
And maybe set a timer this time?
Uh oh…
Touched a live nerve with the Klamath Mountain hillbilly SCUMGASBAG @175.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Till Next Time!
174,
They were warned. Still they persisted.
@175
They must not internet down in Florida. A backwater state if there ever was one (well, Mississippi sets the bar so low it can never be replaced as the #1 backwater state).
Spouting all that bible “rationale” at @173, I’m sure that went over well with his SDA overlords. Would Piddles tell the truth? “See Skydaddy, I used electronic devices on the Sabbath to post vitriolic hate in my deranged state of mind thinking I was doing your work.” Problem is, Skydaddy knows better, but Piddles tries to fool his religious cohorts.
Despite his babbling bullshit, it is good to have Piddles back. Granted, not much has changed as he points out; doc is still an absolute dumbfuck, Shortbus is going around in circles and blowing smoke (needs a valve job). A1 is spreading his goo.

Once again traveling Metro North from New Haven back to NYC. I still haven’t figured out who is more annoying, the drunk bums picked up in Bridgeport or the loud cackling hens from Fairfield and Wesport.
That’s America.
Bombs away!!!!!
Wouldn’t it be nice if Syria decided to bomb (drag in) one of America’s closest neighbooring “allies,
Bombs Away! Party girls and drunk bums really could give two fucks!!
I got $50 says no one on CNN tonight says Apirin Factories or “Distraction from Stormy”.
It was a simpler time when the media was liberal.
@167 As long as you don’t get pulled over there.
@174 Yeah, it occurs to me that if Trump is Cohen’s sole legal client, and none of the emails are between Cohen and Trump, there’s no attorney-client privilege there; just a lawyer talking to a bunch of people who aren’t his client. Kinda like I do all the time on HA, except I’m not in the business of selling my country to hostile foreign powers.
CNN reports US, British, and French airstrikes against Syria.
178,
It’s really just so much worse than that.
“See Skydaddy, I put my neeeeds ahead of your rules. And got myself “up” for possible salt mining duty by spewing on the internet.”
Two weeks.
Jesus, the freak must be raging. Poor goat. Poor, poor goat.
Oh salamander @178,
Did Puddy wish you a Happy Good Friday or not? And you leftist FOOLS still can’t deal with your TDS. Now we know why Comey did it. He thought #CrookedHillary would win!
Well?
FACTS sux to DUMMOCRETINS!
Till Next Time!
What is it with the Klamath Mountains hillbilly @185 and farm animals? Is it a white thing? You should see immediate medical care for that issue!
Is it Depression?
Is it Constipation?
Is it Concentration issues?
Hmmm…?
Till Next Time Lib Scientist!
Nice of the loon to stop by to lay some hate on us, and also for letting us know that his white supremacist friends haven’t lynched him yet.
