The former British spy who authored several reports alleging links between Russia and President Trump’s 2016 campaign had been a personal friend of Trump’s daughter Ivanka, a relationship that he said made him “favorably disposed” to the Trump family. The previously unknown friendship between former intelligence officer Christopher Steele and Ivanka Trump was alluded to in a new report released Monday by the Justice Department’s inspector general, which said Steele had “been friendly” with a Trump family member, a relationship he described as “personal.” Steele told investigators he had visited the Trump family member at Trump Tower in New York and had once gifted the person a family tartan from Scotland. A person familiar with Steele’s business Orbis confirmed that the family member was Ivanka Trump. After first meeting in 2007, they emailed over the years, the person said. Between 2010 and 2012, Steele discussed with Ivanka Trump the possibility that the Trump Organization might hire his business to assist with projects in Russia and China. They remained friends through 2015, the person said. |

https://www.mediaite.com/trump/ig-horowitz-uncovers-texts-from-pro-trump-fbi-agents-saying-they-saw-a-lot-of-scared-mfers-following-trumps-election/ OIG report - Some FBI agents actually celebrated Trump win Counter to what Trump, Fox News and Qanon nutbags claimed, texts revealed some FBI agents being happy Trump won. Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report, which examined the conduct of the FBI toward President Donald Trump’s campaign, uncovered text messages from agents celebrating Trump’s 2016 victory. The report goes on to detail in footnotes that there were also FBI agents who texted about their support for Trump on page 339, where it is also recorded that a supervisory special agent (SSA) praised the election of Trump and compared it to “watching a Superbowl comeback.” 2 Likes |

Fox cancels interview with James Comey, after the IG report clears him of everything various Fox hosts have accused him of. “I offered to go on Fox & Friends which I gather is a very important program for supporters of the President. And they agreed last night to book me at 8:00 tomorrow. I figured I can’t change the minds of Fox viewers about President Trump but I can change their minds, I hope, about the FBI by giving them actual facts. Then after the report came out they canceled my appearance. They must’ve read the report.” – Former FBI director James Comey. |

coluka:Some key parts of the 434 page report by the Office of Inspector General: Christopher Steele and Ivanka Trump had been friends for over 7 years. Now we know there are pro-trump FBI agents ----they were leaking information to Rudy Guilliani from the NYC office. We know that contrary to Trump's paranoia there was no political bias by the FBI, but the investigation was influenced by Steele Dossier. We also know contrary to Trump there was no attempt to overthrow his government. Of course we can be certain that multiple syncophants will be braying about errors in the OIG report (already AG Barr had made a statement, still waiting for Sean Hannity of FoxNews and Rudy Guilliani). We also can be certain Trump supporters will not acknowledge any of the facts that prove once again that Trump is a compulsive liar. Bottom line... "In no uncertain words, the inspector general says there was no political conspiracy to undermine Trump's 2016 campaign." There was, however, an active conspiracy by the Trump campaign to invite foreign interference in our election, which has been repeated in the Ukraine scandal. Finally the key take away is that President Trump is full of paranoid schizophrenics and the mental health problems on his supporters on the far- right are greater than anyone ever suspected. 3 Likes 1 Share |

So far today, the Democrats have directly or indirectly identified[b] 5 potential areas of impeachable offenses[/b]: extortion, abuse of power by using the DOJ to investigate political rivals and personally intimidating witnesses, obstruction of congress by failing to make documents and testimony available and interfering with Congressional-authorised funds to Ukraine, violation of election law by soliciting a thing of value from a foreign power and violation of the constitution's foreign emoluments clause. The Democrat strategy - is that they made the case for impeachment from a constitutional standpoint and in plain language, shredded several Trump defenses, discredited Turley, (especially by Rep Neguese from Colorado) connected dots for the slow folk, built upon the Intel Committee's hearings and report, established Trump's pattern of bad behaviour - and we are not done for the day yet. What people here should understand is that President Trump is not being tried for criminal offense, but for civil offence, similar to someone being investigated by their human resources department for not doing his job effectively. That fellow gets fired, period. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Today’s Republican witness Jonathan Turley opposes impeaching Trump, yet he supported impeaching Bill Clinton in 1998. Here’s what he told Congress back then: “If you decide that certain acts do not rise to impeachable offenses, you will expand the space for executive conduct.”

Lev Parnas Helped Rep. Devin Nunes’ Investigations The indicted Giuliani associate helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for the Republican congressman in 2018. Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for Rep. Devin Nunes in 2018, Parnas’ lawyer Ed MacMahon told The Daily Beast. Nunes aide Derek Harvey participated in the meetings, the lawyer said, which were arranged to help Nunes’ investigative work. MacMahon didn’t specify what those investigations entailed. Nunes is the top Republican on the House committee handling the impeachment hearings—hearings where Parnas’ name has repeatedly come up. Congressional records show Nunes traveled to Europe from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, 2018. Three of his aides—Harvey, Scott Glabe, and George Pappas—traveled with him, per the records. U.S. government funds paid for the group’s four-day trip, which cost just over $63,000. The travel came as Nunes, in his role on the House Intelligence Committee, was working to investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election-meddling. Parnas’ assistance to Nunes’ team has not been previously reported. A spokesperson for Nunes did not respond to requests for comment. Nunes has been at the center of the broader story about foreign influence in President Donald Trump’s Washington. When congressional investigators began probing Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, Nunes made a late-night visit to the White House and announced the next day he’d found evidence of egregious wrongdoing by Intelligence Community officials. The move appeared to be an effort to corroborate a presidential tweet claiming that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. Nunes then stepped back from the committee’s work scrutinizing Russian efforts. Instead, he ran a parallel probe looking at the origins of Mueller’s Russia probe. The undertaking made him a hero to the president and Sean Hannity, and a bête noire of Democrats and Intelligence Community officials. That work was still underway when he traveled to Europe in 2018. Last month, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York charged Parnas and Fruman with illegally moving money from foreign donors to American political campaigns. Both men maintain their innocence. https://www.thedailybeast.com/lev-parnas-helped-rep-devin-nunes-investigations?source=twitter&via=desktop 1 Like |

Ex-NSC aide Fiona Hill clashes with GOP reps over Ukraine ‘fictions’ charge in testy hearing https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-nsc-aide-fiona-hill-david-holmes Former National Security Council aide Fiona Hill clashed with Republicans during Thursday’s Trump impeachment inquiry hearings after accusing some lawmakers of embracing the “fictional narrative” that only Ukraine -- and not Russia -- interfered in the 2016 elections, igniting a fierce response. The testy proceedings at the Capitol also included testimony from David Holmes, a U.S. State Department official in Ukraine, who described how he overheard a phone call this summer with President Trump about wanting Ukraine to conduct political investigations. Holmes testified that he eventually understood that “demand” to be linked to delayed military aid. The White House countered, as it has in prior hearings, that the witnesses did not speak to any direct knowledge on the aid hold-up, while GOP lawmakers dismissed the alleged offense as nothing more than a “thought crime.” But Hill irritated Republicans from the outset Thursday by saying in her opening statement, “Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country—and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did.” At least this is not CNN coverage 1 Like |
