Nancy Pelosi: Republican Tax Reform is the “End of the World” and “Armageddon”

Legal Insurrection


"After Republicans in the Senate passed a Tax Reform bill in the early hours of Saturday, December 2, there was a collective liberal freak out.


"Nancy Pelosi outdid them all in a press conference:
“It is the end of the world. The debate on health care is life/death. This is Armageddon. This is a very big deal.”

Bristol Gives Names of Celebrities Who Sexually Harassed Palin Women, Points Out Biggest Problem

These ladies have suffered more than the usual share of sexual insults. TD

The Palin women are in good company: Chelsea Handler Calls Sarah Huckabee Sanders A 'Harlot' With 'Summer-Whore Lipstick', 'Trollop'

Joe Setyon   "Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, watched as recent accusations of sexual misconduct ended the careers of high-profile figures in media, entertainment and politics.
"She kept up with the #MeToo movement, where countless women have taken to social media to say that they too are victims of sexual harassment, assault and even rape. 
"Now, she has decided to speak out.
"While Palin wrote in a blog post published Friday that she was “truly amazed by the unity that has been brought on by these courageous women (and men),” she noted that there is one thing “wrong” with the #MeToo campaign.
"The media, Palin claimed, has a double standard when it comes to reporting on allegations of sexual harassment.
“ 'What we need to look at is a real TRUE standard that needs to be set,” she wrote. “But here’s a question. How do we pick and choose whom to hold accountable? Why aren’t we looking at all of the sexual harassment? Why are some things ‘just a joke’ for some, and serious offenses for others?”
"Palin asserted that it’s time “to come together and treat sexual harassment the same, no matter what side of the aisle you may be on.' ” . . .

House Republicans Prepare Contempt Action Against FBI, DOJ



Democrat Castro's position on issues

"U.S. House Republicans are drafting a contempt of Congress resolution against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray, claiming stonewalling in producing material related to the Russia-Trump probes and other matters.
"Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes and other committee Republicans, after considering such action for several weeks, decided to move after media including the New York Times reported Saturday on why a top FBI official assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russia-Trump election collusion had been removed from the investigation. 
"Republicans, including the president, pointed to the reports as evidence that the entire probe into Russian meddling has been politically motivated.
“ 'Now it all starts to make sense,” Trump said on Twitter Sunday." . . .

The FBI today

"Mueller is a partisan hack to end all partisan hacks, and no sane observer believes otherwise. It was Mueller who got Bill Clinton out of trouble for selling missile launching secrets to China, secrets that may now be helping North Korea to aim nuclear-armed missiles at Washington DC and Paris."  James Lewis

Mueller's FBI Will Never Recover Its Good Name  "Robert Mueller just fired a senior FBI agent for openly twittering against POTUS Trump. But if Mr. Mueller imagines that firing one guy will restore his shredded credibility to the public, fuggedaboudit. The unprecedented witch-hunt against a newly elected Donald Trump will remain green in the public memory for years to come. The FBI and DOJ will therefore have to live with a huge loss of public credibility. The IRS will never recover among Trump voters.
"Elected governments only work as long as they enjoy basic public confidence, and when that is gone -- as it is in Italy and Greece -- it can take many years to restore." . . .
In the last election the Communist Party of the USA openly backed Hillary Clinton, and Hillary never said a word against them. She wanted their support. 
. . . "Harvey Weinstein might as well try to prove his virginity. Mueller will never, ever regain the kind of respect we used to feel for the Department of Justice and the FBI. The IRS cannot be trusted, as taxpayers around the country know very well. Our presidential candidates like the Clintons have sold favors for money, and the Obama White House sold our national security to the throwback mullahs of Iran." . . .

Peter Strzok's role in Clinton email investigation takes a sinister turn  "Former FBI counter-intelligence expert Peter Strzok, . . . was the individual responsible for changing the wording in Director Comey's statement on Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless."
"That single change probably kept Hillary Clinton out of jail.
"It has also been revealed that Strzok was the FBI agent who interviewed both Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's two top aides.  Mills and Abedin made misleading statements to the FBI in that interview but went unpunished. 
"That a demonstrably partisan investigator has been at the center of an investigation that could lead to the impeachment of a president of the United States makes it impossible for Robert Mueller to claim that his investigation is unbiased and independent.
"First, Strzok giving Clinton a "get out of jail" edit to Comey's statement." . . .By Rick Moran

By now it should be clear to every sentient American that the Mueller "investigation" is not an investigation at all
The "collusion with Russia" meme was and remains a non-starter, so now the real motive for Mueller's appointment as special counsel is evident for all to see.  It was always to find a way to remove Trump from office.

Top Clinton Aides Face No Charges After Making False Statements To FBI

Peter Strzok (pictured above) "Fox News has obtained a photo of Peter Strzok, the longtime FBI deputy fired by Special Counsel Robert Mueller over his bias against President Trump. Strzok (pronounced "Struck"), was sacked by Mueller after electronic messages he reportedly sent to a colleague emerged, but not before he played key roles in the probes swirling around Trump."
Daily Caller  "The FBI agent who was fired from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation team for sending anti-Donald Trump text messages conducted the interviews with two Hillary Clinton aides accused of giving false statements about what they knew of the former secretary of state’s private email server.

"Neither of the Clinton associates, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, faced legal consequences for their misleading statements, which they made in interviews last year with former FBI section chief Peter Strzok

"But another Strzok interview subject was not so lucky.

"Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser, pleaded guilty last week to lying during an interview he gave on Jan. 24 to Strzok and another FBI agent. Circa journalist Sara Carter reported on Monday that Strzok took part in that interview with the retired lieutenant general.

"At the time, Strzok was the FBI’s top investigator on the fledgling investigation into Russian interference in the presidential campaign. He was appointed to supervise that effort at the end of July 2016, just weeks after the conclusion of the Clinton email probe. CNN reported on Monday that as the FBI’s No. 2 counterintelligence official, Strzok signed the documents that officially opened the collusion inquiry.

"The starkly different outcomes from Strzok’s interviews — a felony charge against Flynn and a free pass to Mills and Abedin — are sure to raise questions from Republicans about double-standards in the FBI’s two most prominent political investigations. FBI Director Christopher Wray will likely be pressed on the Strzok scandal on Thursday when he attends an oversight hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

"Strzok was also a prominent part of the Clinton investigation, so much so that he conducted all of the most significant interviews in the case." . . .


Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell

FBI Agent Peter Strzok Changed Agency’s Description of Clinton from “Grossly Negligent” to “Extremely Careless”  "' . . .Here’s why this matters: The FBI’s description of Hillary Clinton was extremely relevant to how the former presidential candidate was treated. " . . . the change “reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for ‘gross negligence.'” . . .
