Comey Lashes Out at DOJ Leadership After Department Drops Case Against General Mike Flynn
The Justice Department dropped its case against General Mike Flynn Thursday after bombshell documents released proved he was framed by Comey’s FBI.
Comey lashed out at the leadership of the DOJ after the Department dropped its case against Flynn.
“The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership.” Comey said in a tweet.
Recall, US Attorney General Bill Barr assigned his top counsel to be the interim US Attorney in Washington, D.C. to oversee the lingering Mueller cases.
Mr. Barr chose his top counsel at the DOJ, Timothy Shea, to replace outgoing US Attorney Jessie Liu to “oversee some of the lingering cases from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.”
Timothy Shea got to work releasing Brady material that Mueller’s thug attorney Brandon Van Grack had been withholding from Flynn’s lawyers and the Court.
Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell relentlessly fought to have Flynn’s case dismissed and on Thursday her hard work paid off.
The DOJ said in its motion to dismiss that “The interview of Mr. Flynn was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn.”
The DOJ was referring to the January 24, 2017 ambush FBI interview conducted by FBI counterintel chief Peter Strzok and FBI special agent Joe Pientka.

CDC Recommends Mail-in Voting for November Election Due to Coronavirus… WTH?
The CDC is now pushing election officials around the country to “encourage mail-in methods of voting.”
So now we’re supposed to listen to the same doctors who destroyed the US economy based on garbage university models to tell us how we’re going to vote?
Just The News reported:
On its coronavirus guidelines website, the CDC advises election officials to “encourage mail-in methods of voting if allowed in the jurisdiction” as part of a larger effort to “encourage voters to use voting methods that minimize direct contact with other people and reduce crowd size at polling stations.”
The CalTech/MIT Voting Technology Project recommended that states abolish voting by mail because of the “significant cost to the real and perceived integrity of the voting process.”
The CDC is out of their purview here.
For the record — Wisconsin saw NO UPTICK in Coronavirus cases following their in-person primary elections in early April at the height of the coronavirus outbreak.
John Cardillo is spot on.

Chinese FM: Political manipulation over virus origin is futile
Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday that tracing the origin of the COVID-19 virus should be put in the hands of experts, whose research shall be carried out globally without disturbance from political factors.
Any political manipulation on this scientific matter is futile, he added.
Wang made the remarks in a phone conversation with Slovak Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Ivan Korcok, lauding the prioritization of developing China-Slovakia relations by the new Slovak government.
China first reported the epidemic outbreak to the World Health Organization (WHO), which reflected China's responsible attitude. Still, the earliest report does not mean the virus originated from China, Wang stressed.
Since the coronavirus outbreak, China has provided urgent medical supplies and assistance to over 150 countries and international organizations, he said, noting that this kind of help has no political strings attached and zero geopolitical considerations.
Justice and truth speak for themselves; facts will eventually defeat lies, he said.
The Slovak foreign minister said China and Slovakia have traditional friendship and possess huge cooperation potential. The new Slovak government will always pursue the one-China policy and make the development of a friendly relationship with China and the deepening of bilateral cooperation a priority of its foreign policy.
Korcok said as a member of the European Union, Slovakia unswervingly supports multilateralism, views China as an important cooperative partner on the international stage, and is prepared to strengthen coordination and cooperation with China on global matters.
He agreed with Wang that tracing the origin of the virus is a scientific matter which should be resorted to by experts.
Mongolia to send 30,000 sheep to China
Wang also had a phone conversation with Mongolian Foreign Minister Damdin Tsogtbaatar on Wednesday.
Mongolian President Khaltmaa Battulga, the first foreign head of state who visited China after the coronavirus outbreak, demonstrated his support for China with practical actions, Wang said. Battulga's offer of 30,000 sheep on behalf of the Mongolian people has generated a warm response among the Chinese people, and enhanced the traditional friendship between the two sides, he said.
Noting that solidarity, cooperation, and determination are in need at this time, Wang said any words and deeds that run counter to them are inappropriate, and attempts to politicize the epidemic and label the virus are unacceptable.
Tsogtbaatar said that China has taken timely and effective prevention and control measures to contain the epidemic in a short period of time, which demonstrates its strong mobilization capabilities and medical science and technology.
Recalling the Mongolian president's visit to China in February, Tsogtbaatar said with joint efforts, Mongolia and China have registered no infections from the other side.
Mongolia is ready to strengthen coordination with China and realize its promise of sending 30,000 sheep to the Chinese people, said the Mongolian minister.

Majority of Israel's Jews oppose West Bank annexation, survey says
According to Commanders for Israel's Security movement's poll, only quarter of all respondents support the move, while only third of Likud voters in favor of the initiative; 40% prefer a permanent two-state solution with the Palestinians
The majority of Israel's Jews do not support the annexation of disputed territories in the West Bank, says a new survey published on Wednesday.
The survey, conducted by the Commanders for Israel's Security movement (comprised of senior security officials who oppose the extension of Israeli sovereignty to Palestinian-held lands), examined a sample of 1,000 people from the Jewish public alone.
According to the poll, only a quarter of the respondents (26%) said they support the potential annexation, while 40% prefer a permanent two-state solution, 22% favor unilateral disengagement from the Palestinians, while only 13% are content with the current situation.
Although the pledge to annex the strategic parts of the West Bank was one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's major election campaign points, only a third (36%) of his Likud party's supporters said they back the initiative.

AIPAC Finally Gets the Best of Ilhan Omar
The Congresswoman has signed onto one of the lobby's letters calling for an extended embargo on Iran.
It looks like AIPAC, the most influential pro-Israel organization in the U.S., has gotten to Rep Ilhan Omar.
The Muslim-American congresswoman who had been targeted by the lobbying behemoth a year ago for her “anti-Semitic” comments about “dual loyalty” in regards to members of Congress supporting a ban on American’s boycotting Israel businesses (BDS), has now signed onto a typically loaded AIPAC letter calling for the extension of a UN arms embargo against Iran.
The move has her supporters and political observers scratching their heads. The wider sanctions regime against Tehran, by all reports, was crushing the Iranian people long before the COVID virus began spreading through the country. Oil revenues, imports of basic necessities, all have been brought to a grinding halt thanks to the Trump Administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign. Now Iranians are struggling for life-saving equipment and medicines in the wake of a pandemic.
In a tweet on April 22 she seemed to be of the mind that sanctions are a dead end:
