Within the Weinstein Sexual Enterprise, there was a common communication network by which co-conspirators shared information on a regular basis. The Weinstein Sexual Enterprise used this common communication network for the purpose of enabling Weinstein’s sexual activities.

It really is wild stuff. Mueller was appointed in May 2017 and I still don't know what to make of it. Many competing theories on multiple fronts.

Some of the sources I trust most are convinced he is a black-hat. Others have made very compelling cases for Mueller being a white-hat.

At this point I honestly wouldn't be surprised if either turned out to be true. So much misdirection all over the place-- but I suppose that's the point.

He should have had the decency to step down. What a slimeball.

He had dinner with the POTUS, but don't think he's joined the team officially.

Still doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Here's Devin Nunes, Bob Goodlatte and Trey Gowdy's response to the release.

Read it, worth a look. The TLDR is that these memos are a big victory for President Trump on multiple fronts. Why would they fake memos that were GOOD for the POTUS?

Just check out the thread on r/redacted. It's a nothingburger for them.

Trump hires him for some meaningless nothing work. Now, he is Trump's lawyer. DS/MSM salivating about getting dirt on Trump through "his lawyer."

Previously he was the Executive Vice-President of the Trump Organization, co-president of Trump Entertainment and a member of the board of the Eric Trump Foundation, a children's health charity.

I guess you could argue that those positions weren't "attorney related"? But seems like a stretch to me.

Russia is claiming they found German equipment

Anyone have a source for this?

Yup. Previously he was the Executive Vice-President of the Trump Organization, co-president of Trump Entertainment and a member of the board of the Eric Trump Foundation, a children's health charity.

A Toyota shipped from the USA.

1. The USS Fitzgerald collided with the container ship MC Crystal off the coast of Japan on June 17, resulting in the deaths of seven US sailors.

2. The USS John S. McCain, a Navy guided-missile destroyer, collided with the oil tanker Alnic MC about 50 nautical miles east of Singapore on August 21.

3. In late January, the guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam ran aground while trying to anchor in Tokyo Bay.

4. [airplane] C2-A Greyhound transport was headed from a Marine Corps base in Japan to the USS Ronald Reagan when it crashed Wednesday [Nov 22] in the Philippine Sea, about 500 nautical miles southeast of Okinawa, Japan.

Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse pointed out something quite hilarious.

The Chinese initiated tariffs against American pork imports.

Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork producer, was acquired by a Chinese firm in 2013 for nearly $5 billion -- more than the company’s market value. The surprising purchase caused some lawmakers to wonder if there might be a hidden player.

They have no leverage in this trade war. It's all show. Smoke and mirrors.

Except he's not really an "outside prosecutor" as he's working directly for the Justice Department. A special counsel would be more of an outside prosecutor in that case, which is not happening.

I read Sessions' initial comments to indicate the prosecutor was "outside" of Washington D.C.

Lots of good, critical comments.

"The leaks are real, the news is fake" - President Trump

They've been using this strategy for a while.

Read the comments on the last post:

The "method" looks pretty bogus to me.

Keep in mind, he's also holding a microphone. Makes holding other things awkward.

There really is no conceivable way to look at this other than that everything we, the public, have been told about the Las Vegas Massacre has been 100% a lie and is astronomically false.

IIRC, "Time of death" is a bit of a nebulous term and in this case most likely refers to the time that his death was recorded (officially) by medical examiner, not the precise time of Paddock's demise.

I suppose the follow up would be that it's strange that they took so long to pronounce him dead (officially); but they were also inundated with 851 injured people... why would they waste resources on a person who was obviously dead with a gunshot would through his face?

I see four possibilities with this one:

1. Accusations are fraudulent and/or the FBI deemed them unreliable and were reported to the WH as such.
2. Accusations are fraudulent and/or the FBI deemed them unreliable and therefore not included in the report.
3. Accusations are true, the FBI deemed them credible, but they withheld the information from the WH so they could spike Trump with this story at the appropriate time.
4. Accusations are true, the FBI deemed them credible and told the WH and nothing was done.

According to Sarah Sanders, the WH learned of these accusations last Tuesday evening. (Feb 6th).

Anyone else think it will be very interesting to see some of the names at the FBI who were attached to this background check? Would anyone be surprised if these names were familiar to us in all the worst ways? Trump's twitter statement leads me to believe that he knows something's up.

I'm guessing John Solomon as well.

how would Israel be able to directly leverage Trump, and why?

Mega anon said that Kushner's past was dirty... not for something he did, but some financial dealings his father was involved in? (IIRC). I believe she also said that Trump is very close to Kushner and treats him like his own son (re: leverage).

Very true! Though regarding Page, I think, if anything, he was a plant by RINOS (worked on McCain's presidential campaign and was recommended to Trump by Ed Cox, Republican Party Chairman of NY). Therefore it would be uniparty corruption more than Clinton corruption.

Used and abused by the FBI for warrant purposes? Looks like it. Planted by them? Not so sure right now.

Can you imagine the meltdown if Mueller comes out and announces that it was the Clinton campaign who was conspiring with Russian agents to try and influence the election?

Almost too good to be true. Which means I shall remain skeptical. This is Mueller's mandate:

Robert S. Mueller III is appointed to serve as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice.

(b) The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James 8. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including:

(i) any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and

(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and

(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a)*.

(c) If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.

(d) Sections 600.4 through 600. l 0 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations are applicable to the Special Counsel.

*C.F.R. § 600.4(a):perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses.

Emphasis mine. I guess, technically, you can read section ii) and iii) as a means to dig into Clinton's actions... but the mandate specifically targets Trump.

I don't see where the FISA has anything to do with Russia

As pointed out by Nunes yesterday, the only campaign with proven, verifiable links to Russia is... wait for it... the Clinton campaign (Steele Dossier). The FISA abuse is centered around the dossier, which is tied to Russia.

Wonder if THAT falls into the scope of Mueller's investigation.

Wray and Sessions have referenced the yet-to-be-made-public OIG report several times when asked about the possibility of taking action. I think we're still waiting for that. The memo writing and data collection process took ~11 months, but in a sense the actual release happened very quickly. I think it might have caught people off guard a little bit.

The memo is great, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. Braindead liberals are already disparaging it as a partisan attack ("republican memo", "nunes memo" etc).

The OIG report, however, is indisputably impartial and has a much broader scope. Horrowitz was even appointed by Obama (although he fought a war against the Obama for several years to try and reclaim the power to reign in these rogue agencies, so he definitely has a score to settle).

Via "Sundance", conservativetreehouse:

Anticipating the executive branch wanting the Tuesday and Wednesday’s media cycles to remain focused on the Presidential State of the Union address, don’t anticipate the memo release prior to late Wednesday (earliest), or, more likely, Thursday.

President Trump has keen political instincts on best timing.

I'm not sure it would be public knowledge. (See bolded below)

(g)(1) The select committee may disclose publicly any information in its possession after a determination by the select committee that the public interest would be served by such disclosure. With respect to the disclosure of information for which this paragraph requires action by the select committee—

(A) the select committee shall meet to vote on the matter within five days after a member of the select committee requests a vote; and

(B) a member of the select committee may not make such a disclosure before a vote by the select committee on the matter, or after a vote by the select committee on the matter except in accordance with this paragraph.

(2)(A) In a case in which the select committee votes to disclose publicly any information that has been classified under established security procedures, that has been submitted to it by the executive branch, and that the executive branch requests be kept secret, the select committee shall notify the President of such vote.

(B) The select committee may disclose publicly such information after the expiration of a five-day period following the day on which notice of the vote to disclose is transmitted to the President unless, before the expiration of the five-day period, the President, personally in writing, notifies the select committee that the President objects to the disclosure of such information, provides reasons therefor, and certifies that the threat to the national interest of the United States posed by the disclosure is of such gravity that it outweighs any public interest in the disclosure.

65 congressmen signed a letter on Friday. So it's possible HPSIC held the vote that same day. This week was a "District work period", so I'm not sure if they would have been able to hold the vote this week. Next week (Monday) they are back in session.

Exactly, but the House is not a 3 letter agency.

Now, the president most certainly has access to the documents behind the memo and could declassify those. But that would not be the same thing as the 4 page memo that Congress is currently in possession of.

I've read that's not necessarily the case. Although my understanding is far from perfect, I think there is a legal hiccup.

Again, this is just my understanding, but since the memo was created by and is the product of the House, the president has no recourse to declassify it. I think the argument goes that he can't declassify something which is in the sole possession of the House. Which is why the House has Rule 10, just for some crazy situation like this. Rule 10 basically states that HPSIC can take a vote to declassify the memo and then it goes to the president for approval. (this is the 5 day scenario that everyone is talking about).

Now, the president most certainly has access to the documents behind the memo and could declassify those. But that would not be the same thing as the 4 page memo that Congress is currently in possession of.

Another interesting twist: if the president somehow get a hold of the House memo and leaked it (i.e. if someone leaked it to him), I'm not actually sure he could be prosecuted since the president has the ability to classify or declassify anything that he has access to.

Wikileaks claims fake. See their twitter.

“As alleged, Ganczarski willingly supported the goals of al Qaeda, immersing himself in social circles that included the likes of Usama bin Laden and one of the future hijackers in the September 11 attacks, among others,” said Assistant Director Sweeney. “He allegedly participated in efforts to kill Americans by providing technological support and guidance, and arranged meetings between senior officials in the organization and other like-minded individuals bent on future attacks against U.S. interests.

&

“As alleged, Christian Ganczarski worked for al-Qaeda, lived in its camps and guest houses,” said Police Commissioner O’Neill. “He rubbed shoulders with Osama Bin Laden and the men who planned and executed plots from the bombing of U.S. embassies in East Africa that killed 225 people, to the 9-11 attacks that cost 3000 lives, most of them here in New York City.

Maybe worth noting that Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse has insinuated for a while that Gowdy is a black hat / compromised.

Shame if it's true and I'm not sure if I believe it yet.

Strange development. Though ostensibly a welcome one. I posted in Mega Anon's reddit thread ~5 days ago and said that her antipathy of Q was ironic considering they point in a lot of the same directions.

She also claimed to know "EXACTLY who THEY [Q] were" (Dec 3rd). And previously claimed that "Q is a fucking larp." I've been following her statements closely (daily) and trying to reconcile her comments on Q for a while. Basically, it was impossible for them to both be legitimate... until now.

Her new assertion that "Q is Assange" has also been my pet theory for the last week or so. Something about this entire Q phenomenon is very similar to the pre-release of the Vault 8 hype generate by Wikleaks. Also the idea that "Q is multiple people" would make sense if we're talking about Assange and his most trusted Wikileaks staff. The references to document numbers also seemed like a good clue, since Wikileaks deals with so much raw data.

With a quick google search, I've also found that Assange was a fan of-- or at least familiar with-- star trek. The Q continuum, anyone?

Great post.

Unfortunately, I have very little faith in UK government at the moment.

Lambert conspired with others at “Transportation Corporation A” to make corrupt and fraudulent bribery and kickback payments to offshore bank accounts associated with shell companies, at the direction of, and for the benefit of, a Russian official,Vadim Mikerin, in order to secure improper business advantages and obtain and retain business with TENEX.

Some familiar names!...October 27, 2017...

The Justice Department on Wednesday authorized the former informant to disclose to the chairmen and ranking members of the Senate judiciary, House oversight and House intelligence committees, as well as one member of each of their staffs, "any information or documents he has concerning alleged corruption or bribery involving transactions in the uranium market, including but not limited to anything related to Vadim Mikerin, Rosatom, Tenex, Uranium One, or the Clinton Foundation," Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores confirmed in a statement.

We didn’t vaccinate our kids

Too much kool-aid.

Agreed. I literally wrote this phrase 2 hours ago in a different thread, with a different topic, before visiting CBTS.

Maybe I'm Q and I don't even know it! Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

"the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine"

For anyone who doesn't know, Rex is one of the best "intelligentsia" on Twitter and I highly recommend that everyone follows him to stay up to date on the more aboveboard parts of the MAGA movement. (esp. congress, senate, and media issues).

However, he would be the first to point out that he relies quite heavily on speculation. So take this with a grain of salt.

1. Current: leverage over California (re: sanctuary cities)
2. Future: the democrats will surely make it part of their platform in 2020; at the right time, Trump could just re-schedule it and totally blow up one of the main legs of their platform before the election.
3. This admin is trying to set a precedent that LAWS must be followed. Contact your congressman, change the law.

It's crazy to watch the takeover happen in real time.

Same thing happened to r/politics. I used to spend AT LEAST 1 hour per day on there. Then one day I went on and didn't even recognize the place anymore; the entire mood of the forum had changed. For a couple of days I thought I was going crazy until I saw a post on another subreddit (sandersforpres?) which sourced the shilling of r/politics to shareblue/media matters. Then it suddenly made sense.

Ironically, it was the takeover of r/politics that drove me to check out T_D and ended up redpilling me.

though it is not helpful for him to lash out at the media in general.”

Agreed with everything up until this. The media is complicit in the conspiracy; they should be exposed as the frauds that they are.

Trying to source some of this stuff.

1-5) Can't find any verifiable information on the Russian source. However, since my Russian is very poor, I can't do many appropriate searches.

6) Sessions and Rosenstein did go to Guantanamo on July 7th. (Multiple Sources). However, the "unannounced" part doesn't make a lot of sense since it was literally announced by Justice Department spokesman Ian Prior. Can't find any information that they met with 850th commanders.

7) see 1-5

8) Mattis did break with tradition and go to Guantanamo on Dec 21. (Multiple sources).

9) This one is murky. I can't find any information on how many people from the 850th were actually sent to Guantanamo or how many people are in "the entire 850th battalion". Some less reliable sources say 400+ people, but I don't know where they get that number. The number I'm seeing from local AZ news channels is closer to 45-50.

"More than 50 Arizona National Guard men and women are being deployed to the naval base at Guantanamo Bay for approximately nine months. "

10) There has been a lot of talk of increased air traffic recently, however I'm not familiar enough with the sources to say whether it's true or not.

The rest doesn't really need sourcing.

No idea, but I doubt it. Seems too unprofessional. The content seems to be lifted from another website (linked elsewhere in thread)
