Roger Stone Suggests Mueller Framed Him In Post That Could Violate Gag Order

 

Roger Stone may have violated his gag order. In an Instagram story Sunday he uploaded a photo that suggested he’s being framed by special counsel Robert Mueller.

 

Though Stone has made similar accusations before, this is the first time he has done so since being put under a gag order a week ago.

 

The gag order was meant to stop him from speaking to the media and criticizing prosecutors involved in his case.

 

The order was expanded on Friday after the judge in the case slammed Stone for not informing the court about an imminent book release that would likely violate the original gag order.

 

The post was removed shortly after Stone’s lawyer received inquiries from the media about it.

San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer apologizes for 'unacceptable behavior' and takes leave of absence after video showed him dragging his screaming wife to the ground

 

San Francisco Giants President and CEO Larry Baer is taking a leave of absence just days after the release of a distressing cellphone video showing him fighting with his wife in public.

 

The Giants board of directors released a statement Monday saying that Baer has been granted a request to take personal time away from the team after he 'acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, apologized to the organization and is committed to taking steps to make sure that this never happens again.

 

The Giants executive team, including president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, will manage the day-to-day operations of the team in Baer's absence.

 

The board says the organization holds itself to the highest standards and that will 'guide how we consider this matter moving forward'.

 

The statement also said Major League Baseball is taking the lead in gathering the facts and is closely monitoring the situation.

 

Full statement from Giants Board of Directors on Larry Baer

The Board of Directors of San Francisco Baseball Associates is closely monitoring the matter involving Giants President and CEO Larry Baer. Pursuant to League policy, Major League Baseball is taking the lead in gathering all facts surrounding the situation. The organization is cooperating fully with the process.

 

Mr. Baer has acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, apologized to the organization and is committed to taking steps to make sure that this never happens again. He has also requested, and the Board has accepted, his request to take personal time away from the Giants beginning today. The Board has asked the Giants executive team to manage the day to day operations of the Club during this period, reporting directly to the Board.

 

As leaders in the community, we at the Giants hold ourselves to the highest standards and those standards will guide how we consider this matter moving forward.

 

We have no further comment at this time.

 

The video posted by TMZ on Friday showed Baer's wife, Pam, was seated in a chair when he reached over her to grab for a cellphone in her right hand and she toppled sideways to the ground in the chair screaming 'Oh my God!'

 

Baer, holding the phone, says 'stop, Pam, stop', then walks away alone.

 

Hours after the video's release, Mrs Baer said through her attorney that she has forgiven her multimillionaire husband of nearly 30 years for the incident.

 

'My husband and I had an argument in public about which we are quite embarrassed,' Mrs Baer said in a statement Friday.

Judicial Watch Calls upon Office of Congressional Ethics to Investigate Whether Rep. Schiff and Rep. Speier Disclosed Classified Information

 

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today sent a hand-delivered letter to the chairman and co-chairman of the House Office of Congressional Ethics calling for an investigation into whether Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jackie Speier (D-CA) “disclosed classified information to the public in violation of House ethics rules.”

 

Citing the ethics complaints filed against House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) charging that he “may have made unauthorized disclosures of classified information, in violation of House Rules, regulations, or other standards of conduct,” Judicial Watch wrote:

 

If the standard for filing a complaint or opening an ethics investigation is that a member has commented publicly on matters that touch on classified information, but the member does not reveal the source of his or her information, then the complaints against Chairman Nunes are incomplete insofar as they target only Nunes. At least two other members of the House Intelligence Committee have made comments about classified material that raise more directly the very same concerns raised against Chairman Nunes because they appear to confirm classified information contained in leaked intelligence community intercepts.

 

On March 21, 2017, the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff spoke to an audience at the Brookings Institution in which he commented on an intelligence community intercept of a December 29, 2016 conversation between Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislayak and retired U.S. Army General Michael Flynn, who had been selected by then-President Elect Donald Trump to serve as National Security Advisor. Both the fact of the conversation and the conversation’s contents were leaked to the news media and reported widely. In his Brookings Institution speech, Rep. Schiff stated:

 

And then you have leaks that expose malfeasance or illegality. Now, I put that kind of leak, I put the Flynn leak in that category. And what was most disturbing to me, frankly, about that was: here you had a situation where the president is informed that his national security advisor . . . has lied to the vice president, and probably others . . . about a conversation with the Russians over sanctions imposed over hacking in the election to help the president.

 

***

 

Likewise, an April 3, 2017 report in the Daily Caller quotes Representative Jackie Speier as commenting publicly on both the contents of the Kislayak-Flynn conversations and Flynn’s subsequent “unmasking” as a U.S. person incidentally intercepted by the intelligence community:

 

Now, if in fact, it was unmasked and if it was General Flynn. You have to understand the context in which it was unmasked. We do know that. Ambassador Kislayak and General Flynn were freelancing sanctions relief at the end of December, when he had no portfolio in which to make any kind of negotiations with Ambassador Kislayak.” [Emphasis added]

 

Like Rep. Schiff, Rep. Speier did not disclose how she knew about the conversation between Ambassador Kislayak and General Flynn or about General Flynn’s “unmasking,” but the statement attributed to her also appears to confirm the contents of leaked, classified information.

 

Judicial Watch concludes by asking “the Office of Congressional Ethics conduct a preliminary investigation into whether Rep. Schiff and Rep. Speier disclosed classified information to the public in violation of House ethics rules.”

 

“At least two leading Democrats, Reps. Schiff and Speier, on the House Intelligence Committee seem to have improperly disclosed classified information,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “While the Ethics Committee examines Rep. Nunes’s innocuous statements on Obama’s surveillance on the Trump team, it ought to expand its investigation to include the other members of the Intelligence Committee who seem to have flagrantly violated the rules.”

McCabe Investigated Not Just Trump but Sessions Too

 

Main Story: Days After Comey Firing, McCabe's FBI Re-Engaged Dossier Spy

 

A former senior Justice Department aide to Sessions, who was in high-level meetings with McCabe and the former attorney general, strongly disputed McCabe's allegations, calling them “fiction."

 

“They’re beyond absurd and outright false. Like just about everything else he says,” the official told RealClearInvestigations. "He was fired, after all, for lying. To the FBI."

Sessions fired McCabe last March on the recommendation of the FBI’s disciplinary office after the Justice Department’s inspector general found that McCabe had repeatedly lied under oath to investigators about leaking information to the press about the ongoing Clinton Foundation case. The department watchdog referred evidence of McCabe’s false statements to U.S. attorneys for criminal prosecution. A grand jury has been hearing the case.

 

In his 274-page book, McCabe does not mention ex-British spy Christopher Steele or his lurid and unverified Trump-Russia dossier, which was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, and McCabe was not asked about either of them in any of his interviews with mostly friendly media outlets. He also left out his role in obtaining a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and, by extension, the Trump campaign.

 

It is still not clear if McCabe's investigations of President Trump and his associates were completely absorbed by the special counsel's investigation, or if the FBI under his leadership continued to investigate the president on its own.

Days After Comey Firing, McCabe's Team Re-Engaged Fired Dossier Author

 

Two days after then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe formally put President Trump under criminal investigation in May 2017, bureau officials reached out to the author of the controversial "Steele dossier" for more information, even though they had fired him for misconduct six months earlier.

 

Christopher Steele, dismissed by the FBI as untrustworthy, nevertheless was re-engaged by the "Russia team" of then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, top photo, after the firing of Director James Comey.

Text messages and congressional testimony transcripts reveal that McCabe’s “Russia team” re-established direct contact with ex-British spy Christopher Steele to build a case against the president for espionage and obstruction of justice after Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey on May 9, 2017.

 

Comey had previously described the dossier – opposition research alleging Trump-Russia ties that was paid for by the Clinton campaign – as “salacious and unverified.” The FBI had severed ties with Steele in November 2016 due to behavior that convinced his handlers he was not a trustworthy source.

 

Former federal prosecutors and investigators described the move to RealClearInvestigations as "desperate." They also said the FBI’s decision to suddenly re-engage with a discredited confidential source raises fresh questions about the evidentiary grounds on which the FBI opened an unprecedented probe targeting the president.

 

“It suggests that McCabe lacked evidence to make an espionage case against Trump and was desperate to find it — even if that meant going back to the same unreliable source of still-unverified dossier dirt,” former federal prosecutor Solomon L. Wisenberg said.

 

President Trump fired James Comey on May 9, 2017. Days later, the FBI sought to reconnect with its old informant Christopher Steele, compiler of the Trump-Russia dossier.

While noting that there are not only Justice Department rules but also federal laws against opening groundless investigations, they warned that if the nation’s top police force can investigate and spy on a president without hard evidence of criminal behavior, they can do it to anyone. “It’s pretty clear that Comey’s firing is what prompted McCabe’s fury," Wisenberg said.

 

McCabe, who ran the FBI after the president fired Comey, maintains he had sufficient grounds to authorize two investigations of the president himself — including whether he was personally acting on behalf of the Russian government and whether he was impeding the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

 

In a series of recent television interviews promoting his new book, "The Threat," McCabe said his decision to investigate Trump as a Russian asset was based on public information, not secret intelligence or any smoking-gun evidence tying Trump to the Kremlin.
