Loretta Lynch accuses Comey of misrepresenting key Clinton probe conversation, was 'quite surprised' by his testimony  . . .

"In a June 2017 interview under oath with the House Intelligence Committee, Comey said Lynch had pressed him to downplay the significance of the Clinton email review in September 2015, just before a congressional hearing in which Comey was expected to be asked about the investigation. Comey said the moment led him to question her independence and contributed to his decision to unilaterally hold a press conference in July 2016 announcing the conclusions of the probe.
“ 'The attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me," Comey testified. “That was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude, ‘I have to step away from the department if we’re to close this case credibly.’” . . .

Loretta Lynch Throws Comey Under The Bus: ‘I Did Not’ Tell Comey To Call Clinton Email Probe A ‘Matter’

The Morning Briefing: Rep. Doug Collins Dumps Testimony Transcripts . . . "Last night, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) released a boatload of closed-door testimony transcripts. 

Lynch looks at her notes during a previous hearing.

“ 'The American people deserve transparency,” Collins said in a statement Monday. “They deserve to know what transpired in the highest levels of the FBI at the origin of the probe of President Trump’s campaign.”

“ 'Out of an abundance of caution, these transcripts have a limited number of narrowly tailored redactions, relating only to confidential sources and methods, non-public information about ongoing investigations and non-material personal information,” Collins said.

"Here are all the transcripts if you want to read them for yourselves, I haven't read them all yet." : https://dougcollins.house.gov/transparency

Loretta Lynch flipped on Comey  "Lawyer up, Jim Comey. That was advice I gave the 6-foot-8 weasel on May 1. As the public learns more about Obama's spying on Donald John Trump (and attempts to entrap him and his staff), it is clear that Democrats consider Comey expendable.
"We now know that in December, Loretta Lynch told the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors that Comey lied about a 2015 meeting about investigating Obama's first secretary of state, Hillary.
"Republican Congressman Doug Collins of Georgia released transcripts of nine witnesses that heretofore were secret.
"Collins said, “The American people deserve transparency. They deserve to know what transpired in the highest levels of the FBI at the origin of the probe of President Trump’s campaign.”
“ 'Out of an abundance of caution, these transcripts have a limited number of narrowly tailored redactions, relating only to confidential sources and methods, non-public information about ongoing investigations and non-material personal information.”
" 'Well, Obama said his was the most transparent administration ever.
"Then again he said not a smidgen of corruption." . . .

Romney Talks About Trump’s Moral ‘Character,’ And Rep. Justin Amash’s Shocking Tweets

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Daily Wire  . . . "At the beginning of the segment, Tapper quoted a series of tweets from Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) in which the congressman claims that President Trump "has engaged in impeachable conduct."

"Amash is the first Republican to stake out such a position. Check out The Daily Wire’s coverage of Amash’s comments here.
'Tapper first asked Romney why only he and Amash have spoken negatively of the president’s alleged conduct since the debut of the redacted Mueller report:

TAPPER: This is the first time you have appeared on a Sunday show since the Mueller report was released, and you said at the time in a statement: "I'm sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the president. I am also appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia."You and Congressman Amash are the only two elected Republicans, I think, to express any misgivings about the behavior of the president or his campaign team based on the Mueller report. First of all, are you surprised that you two are the only ones that have really said anything condemning of the president's behavior as laid out?ROMNEY: Well, I think every individual has to make their own judgment.

 "The senator continued:" . . .

The Mitt Romney-Bill Weld axis shows itself in the aftermath of the Mueller report.
. . . "Sickened? Romney’s sanctimony is sickening. That’s why he isn’t president and never will be. That’s an office not for the weak. It’s too bad Senate seats in Utah aren’t similarly restricted.

'Mayor Pete' is Gramsci's perfect socialist vehicle for cultural destruction

Gramsci viewed churches, charities, the media, and schools as organizations that needed to be invaded by socialist thinkers.

Peter Skurkiss  . . . "Gramsci needs no introduction.  He was a Marxist philosopher and sometime politician.  He's noteworthy for redirecting the Marxist subversion of societies from the economy to instead focus on culture.  Gramsci's premise was that if the Marxists could rot out the culture, society would fall into their laps.  In this regard, Gramsci's idea has been tremendously successful.  It unleashed the kulturkampf (culture war) against traditionalism, the family, love of country, and most of all, religion.  Their weapons are insidious ideas like multiculturalism, social justice, and identity politics.

"In America, the basic aim of the cultural Marxists was (and still is) to replace Christianity as the nation's bedrock with the new secular religion of the progressives.

. . . 

"And this is how the Marxists advance their agenda — incrementally, one step at a time.

"Mayor Pete has little chance of winning the nomination for president even from a party as dysfunctional as the Democrats.  At least not this time.  Liberals like Joe Scarborough of MSNBC, however, are tantalized by Buttigieg and are calling him "the future of the Democrat Party."  Even Brit Hume of Fox News is impressed with Buttigieg and says: "I think Pete Buttigieg is the most impressive, by far, candidate in terms of raw political talent in the Democratic field, and he may be the most impressive candidate I've seen since the emergence of Barack Obama."

"All this is troubling.  The damage Mayor Pete had done and will continue to do to the traditional society upon which America was built is huge.  Both Buttigieg's father and Gramsci himself would be proud of the boy."

Antonio Gramsci: the Godfather of Cultural Marxism

"There’s little debate that modern-day American universities, public education, mainstream media, Hollywood, and political advocacy groups are dominated by leftists. This is no accident, but part of a deliberate strategy to pave the way for communist revolution developed more than eight decades ago by an Italian political theorist named Antonio Gramsci.
"Described as one of the world’s most important and influential Marxist theorists since Marx himself, if you are not familiar with Gramsci, you should be. 
"The Italian communist (1891 – 1937) is credited with the blueprint that has served as the foundation for the Cultural Marxist movement in modern America." . . .

Justin Amash's primary challenger: He 'has more in common with Rashida Tlaib’ than GOP Voters

Julio Rosas   "In the aftermath of Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., calling for President Trump to be impeached over the findings in Robert Mueller's report from the special counsel's investigation, he is now going to be facing a primary challenger. State Rep. Jim Lower announced his candidacy on Sunday.

"Speaking with Fox News' Laura Ingraham on Monday, Lower further explained why he is running against the five-term congressman.

" 'He is calling for our president to be impeached and he doubled down on it today. I saw that he doubled down on those comments saying the Mueller report indicated he should be impeached. There is nobody besides Bob Mueller that would have loved to come out with that conclusion, and even he couldn’t come to that conclusion. It is completely ridiculous," Lower said.

" 'You know at this point, Justin Amash has more in common with Rashida Tlaib than he does the average Republican primary voter in the district. So, we are going beat him on this issue, but we’re also beat him on the fact that in ten years in Congress, he’s gotten one bill passed and it was to rename a post office. Completely ineffective," he said." . . .

National Review: House Freedom Caucus Condemns Amash for Accusing Trump of ‘Impeachable Conduct’  . . . "I addition to the backlash he received from the Freedom Caucus, Amash’s impeachment stand prompted an immediate primary challenge from Michigan state representative Jim Lower, who told the Detroit Free Press on Monday that he planned to announce his bid in July, but felt compelled to speed up his timeline in the wake of Amash’s statements.

"A number of top Republicans, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, have also condemned Amash’s lack of party loyalty. McCarthy noted Amash’s penchant for voting against the Republican party line and suggested he may no longer belong in the GOP caucus during a Sunday Fox News appearance. He did tell Politico, however, that Amash could retain his committee assignments.

"President Trump similarly accused Amash of seeking to exploit the controversy surrounding the Mueller report for his own political gain." . . .  More here
