Agreed considering they are comparable the Left in the US. Same actions against their leader different country…all to make them look bad.
Posted last bread didn't get noticed..Notable about this is I believe this will open the Snowden situation for what it really was.
Amazon Accepting Preorders for Full Mueller Report to Be Released on March 26
Amazon started the presale of the print version of the final report from the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller on March 6, with two books slated for release on March 26. An Amazon representative confirmed that both listings are authentic and directed The Epoch Times to the two publishers: Simon and Schuster, and Skyhorse.
“Don’t have a statement, but these are authentic,” the representative wrote in an email. “The Mueller Report: The Final Report of the Special Counsel Into Donald Trump, Russia, and Collusion” is available for preorder in paperback with an option for free two-day delivery via Amazon Prime. The book includes an introduction by constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz. The front cover notes that the document will appear “as issued by the Department of Justice.” Special counsel Robert Mueller is listed as the author of the book.
“There has never been a more important political investigation than that of Robert S. Muller III’s into President Donald Trump’s possible collusion with Russia, now introduced by constitutional scholar and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dershowitz,” the product description states. Dershowitz told The Epoch Times that the March 26 date is “merely a placeholder.” “I’ve written several introductions for this publisher,” Dershowitz wrote in an email. “I’ve agreed to write one if and when the Mueller Report is made public. I wrote an intro to the Starr report back then.”
Another version of the report is offered “with related materials by The Washington Post.” The newspaper is listed as the author of the book. According to the listing, the book includes an introduction and commentary by reporters Rosalind Helderman and Matt Zapotosky. “The only book with exclusive analysis by the Pulitzer Prize-winning staff of The Washington Post, and the most complete and authoritative available,” the product description states. “Read the findings of the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, complete with accompanying analysis by the Post reporters who’ve covered the story from the beginning.”
Mueller’s office hasn’t announced a date for the release of its final report, and it’s unclear how much of the document will be made public. The spokesman for Mueller’s office, Peter Carr, didn’t provide a comment on the listings, and referred The Epoch Times to two paragraphs that govern the reporting requirements of special counsel investigations. “At the conclusion of the special counsel’s work, he or she shall provide the attorney general with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the special counsel,” the first section states.
The second section indicates that the attorney general would determine whether to release the final report to the public. The Justice Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Mueller has been investigating allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia since May 2017. The special counsel hasn’t charged any person with collusion or accused any U.S. citizen of coordinating with Russia. In January, then-acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker told Congress that Mueller’s investigation was almost complete. Whitaker left the department March 2. The Senate confirmed William Barr as the attorney general Feb. 14. It’s unclear if either of the books will actually include the Mueller report, since the special counsel isn’t obliged to make the findings of his investigation public. Parallel investigations by the House and Senate intelligence committees have both concluded that there is no evidence that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Trump has always denied the allegations and called Mueller’s probe a “witch hunt.”

Slang from Operation Iraqi Freedom
Death Blossom : The tendency of Iraqi security forces, in response to receiving a little fire from the enemy, to either run away or do the "death blossom" spraying fire indisciminately in all directions. The term originated in the 1984 movie "The Last Starfighter" as a maneuver in which a single starfighter can single handedly wipe out an entire armada.
The Big Lie About ‘Russian’ ‘Hacking’
Hearing Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) address former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in committee last week was another grating reminder of how unproven theories—fantasies, even—become big lies: through constant, brazen repetition. At a certain point, they cut channels through the public mind and run through history evermore as “conventional wisdom.” We now teeter at this point with the unproven theory—aka big lie—that “the Russians” “hacked” the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Something happened at the DNC in 2016, all right, and that “something” led to the WikiLeaks publication of thousands of DNC emails, and the swift disgrace and resignations of top DNC officials, including DNC chair Wasserman Schultz, over revelations of DNC favoritism toward Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders.
Nearly three years have passed, however, and no one has produced forensic evidence of a DNC “hack” by “the Russians”—and that includes special counsel Robert Mueller, whose 2018 indictment of a dozen or so Russians presents zero evidence to support his accusations. Not even the FBI discovered evidence of any hack at the DNC because, in part, the nation’s federal law enforcement body never examined the DNC’s computer servers. “In fact,” two former intelligence experts write, “the available forensic evidence contradicts the official account that blames the leak of the DNC emails on a Russian internet ‘intrusion.’ The existing evidence supports an alternative explanation—the files taken from the DNC between 23 and 25 May 2016 and were copied onto a file storage device, such as a thumb drive.” In other words, it was an internal leak, not an outside hack.
So wrote William Binney and Larry Johnson in a blog essay last month, titled “Why the DNC was not hacked by the Russians.” Not that these authors are ordinary bloggers. Binney is a former technical director of the National Security Agency, where he served for 36 years and actually created many of the data collections systems still in use today. Johnson is a CIA veteran analyst of 27 years. Their essay is just the latest in a string of such counter-conventional-wisdom analyses of “Russian hacking” put forward by members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS). Binney and Ray McGovern, a former CIA briefer of The President’s Daily Brief, smelled a rat from the start, publishing on Jan. 6, 2017, at Consortium News, “The Dubious Case on Russian ‘Hacking.'” By May 2017, the “dubious case” had exploded into a piece they called “The Gaping Holes in Russia-gate,” also at Consortium News. Here, Binney and McGovern enlarged the story’s context with stunning implications.
Regarding “Russian hacking,” which they noted was “the centerpiece of the accusations about Kremlin ‘interference’ to help Trump,” they reminded readers: “On March 31, 2017, WikiLeaks released original CIA documents—almost completely ignored by the mainstream media—showing that the agency had created a program allowing it to break into computers and servers and make it look like others did it by leaving telltale signs (like Cyrillic markings, for example). … “In other words, it is altogether possible that the hacking attributed to Russia was actually one of several ‘active measures’ undertaken by a cabal consisting of the CIA, FBI, NSA and [James] Clapper—the same agencies responsible for the lame, evidence-free report of Jan. 6.”
In July 2017, Binney, Johnson, McGovern, and 10 other members of VIPS—including Edward Loomis Jr., like Binney a former NSA technical director—released a lengthy memo to President Donald Trump citing “new forensic studies to challenge the claim of the key Jan. 6 ‘assessment’ that Russia ‘hacked’ Democratic emails last year.” More memos by Binney and co-authors to the president have followed, and more essays, too, all of them supporting the same core, “big-lie”-smashing claim: the DNC data was “leaked, not hacked.”
