On June 3, 2020, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss his role in how Main Justice was operating while Andrew Weissmann’s special counsel was in charge. What he said in that hearing never quite made sense until yesterday.
Those who closely followed the arc of the Weissmann/Mueller investigation; and those who joined us in following that investigation; already knew the SCO was in complete control from May 2017 to April 2019. Everything taking place inside the DOJ in the two years of the Mueller/Weissmann probe was completely and unequivocally controlled by the Weissmann team. Few journalists have ever grasped the ramifications of that control.
That control included every release and non-release of information during their two year tenure. However, Rosenstein’s tone when questioned about the scope memos he authorized during the special counsel time-frame was very odd in that June hearing.
Rosenstein had a very guilty conscience and it was on full display as he attempted to justify his action. You see, there was always a missing scope memo from October 20, 2017, that no-one in the DOJ ever discussed. The nature of the scope memo was mentioned by Weissmann and Mueller in part of their Russia report; but until yesterday it was hidden.
Here is the only mention of the October 20, 2017, scope memo prior to yesterday:
As you can see above the special counsel’s office used that October 20th scope memo to expand their investigative authorities. Specifically the second redacted name is very important because this specific memo authorized Andrew Weissmann to target Michael Flynn Jr as pressure to coerce a guilty plea from Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn a month later.
During his apologetic senate testimony Rosenstein told congress he never questioned the authority of the special counsel team and never once questioned their “investigative process“, those are his words. Additionally, Rosenstein testified he signed all the scope memos because he felt it was his “responsibility” to facilitate the SCO needs regardless of what they requested; and every request was considered an “investigative process” by him.
Yesterday the mysteriously avoided October 20, 2017, scope memo was finally released to Catherine Herridge from the Senate Homeland Security Committee (Chairman Ron Johnson). Within the scope memo we can now see exactly what reference point Rosenstein was carrying during his June testimony.
The scope memo was written by the special counsel’s office and the last page shows the motive and intent of Weissmann’s crew. Notice the tone and direction of the memo as that aspect also conveys a message; and do not overlook the specific phrase “jointly undertaken activity.” That approach was used by the SCO to target Flynn Jr.:
Notice Andrew Weissmann gave Rod Rosenstein the option, literally the physical option line, to approve or deny the widely expanded scope of the special counsel authority.
In essence this approach forces Rosenstein, in material and documentary form, to take ownership of the outcomes of the special counsel…. OR create a written documentary form that could be used against Rosenstein (via media allies) if he did not agree to expand the scope and authority of the special counsel.
Yes folks, Weissmann created “an authorized get out of jail free card“. WATCH:
.
Considering the amount of praise AG Bill Barr heaped upon Rosenstein; which explains why the DOJ kept this scope memo buried; and considering the implications of this expanded SCO authority that was granted by Rosenstein; this explains the tone during the June hearing.
Not really, they have him on a number of charges if they had the will. You exchange Barr-zini with Sydney Powell or Giuliani he will be looking at jail time.
exactly.
As it is, there appears to be a little sneaky (good kind for us) stuff by saying that they will not do anything about Durham report, but Sydney is being fed information from it and disclosing it.
‘Tis a beautiful Fryday, I wonder what swamp critter is going to fry today!
Sewerside watch should be posted to keep an eye on the those that have the gun on the nightstand that keeps calling them to use it!
Well, Here in Wisconsin, Friday fish frys are popular. These criminals are the furthest thing from being on the menu.
Whitefish, not White Man (Weissman) ?
Finger on the trigger and eye on the hog.
Literally, the Potomac will need rerouting to wash the stink out of Washington, DC.
Trying to remember back, I think I excused Barr giving RosenRat a pass because it enabled the Mueller probe to end. The reality was that Barr could have used sunlight, declassified all the filth and charged the entire criminal gang with sedition. Hindsight?
Trump will need to take the structure down to the steel to renovate this swamp. Backfill the ranks with ex-military (not Obama hires or promoted, not Liberal Arts Communists).
What a mess.
IF ONE IS TO DO IT RIGHT…The President COULD call a RETIRED military out of RETIREMENT for a certain period time and rely on their skillsets of said people to help keep whatever organization needs cleaning and then do away with said organization and move onto the next one. Besides, it would be a whole lotta fun watch these cretins squirm when asking them questions…Former Military/Security Police/OSI/NCIS…etc…
WE ALL TOOK AN OATH: “AGAINST ALL ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.”
No where in the scope memo does it mention President Donald Trump. What gave them the right to get his tax returns? They also investigated his family. What am I missing. This sounds like Espionage to me.
it looks, walks and talks like espionage, ergo…
NYS’s AG is running trumped-up charges along with some of the House “investigators” launched bogus proceedings to access them. A federal judge gave NYS them for supposed “evidence” of financial crimes.
Herr Weissmann is a pathological evil criminal. Instead of keeping quiet about getting away with his evil deeds and hitting the beach, he and Comey lead a new generation of virtue signaling crooks.
Read Sydney’s book, “License to Lie”. It is an accurate but unauthorized biography of Weismann’s years of mafia/KGB like heavy handling and threats.
Between he and Kamala, the masses of people unjustly imprisoned and blocked from justice is massive.
This is why the corrupt/ treasous duel of Barr-zini/Wray will go down in history as doing the most harm to the nation. They purposely mishandled Spyware and then withheld the contents of the laptop during President Trump’s impeachment. This criminal negligence paved the way for Biden to get the nomination and possibly the Presidency.
Think about it, Joe Biden who sold his country out every single time he was made point man on foreign policy is President because of Barr-zini/Wray.
Just think about it. Bury It Barr has known about the contents of the memo and everything else about the SCO. I’m sure that provides some laughs after Bible study with the Mueller’s.
Matthew 26:15 “What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?”. I wonder how much contemplation that gets?
apt.
Joe is President?? Of what??
We just have to be smarter – and I don’t think President Trump is alone. If we can’t prosecute from one direction, then we take another tack. God knows there is corruption and criminality — crime families going wayback — enough for a jillion prosecutions.
How many times have I read here on our special limb, “I didn’t realize until….” Sundance’s brilliant, dogged efforts taking more blinders off.
Without an educated citizenry a Constitutional Republic is impossible. Just remember, those who fought the American Revolution were a courageous minority. They were “convinced” and impassioned and valorous and therefore could lead others.
At least everyone’s eyes are wide open re Justice Dept and that the crookedness/criminality is now baked in – 30 years in a criminal oven. No more nay-saying around here – like Gen Sundance directs. Let’s all get down to the task at hand.
At the same time, there are a number of important prosecutions in other areas happening.
President Trump will win – with citizens’ hearts full and minds awake. If he can go n NBC for us, we can do the similar efforts – for all of us, too.
(A secret. I am looking for a do-over for the last four years. President Trump’s 8 years don’t start counting until coups are ended and he can appoint his own heads of agencies. Imagine his brilliance, grit, and tenacity for the massive accomplishments to date. He is not alone.)
Agreed….for all time PDJT has been fighting the internal coup; it shall be extended to his term.
This is a pipe dream of mine: Trump wins, two months later Flynn is exonerated and hired BACK by Trump as National Security guy. Weasel and his gang, and all involved including Wray, and Rodenstein, and in leu of jail time, the billions of dollars spent on this snipe hunt will be divided among them to be paid back to the US Treasury over THEIR lifetime including any of their retirements.
This would certainly dissuade others from following this same course anytime soon. :))
Cocaine Hunter has pipe dreams too.
But his always go up in smoke.
I really want Flynn exonerated in the next week and then I want him to barnstorm the Sunday shows explaining EVERYTHING he knew and WHY Obummer was so desperate to shut him up!
Oh, and I also want Sullivan taken away in a straitjacket ALA Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther….
Hey, if we’re gonna dream, let’s dream big, right!!
LOL, vikingmon. I couldn’t agree more. Take them down!
zucccchini—-That’s only the start! Time served should be life!!!!
NO…FIRING SQUAD IN THE QUADRANGLE IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!…That will stop all the nonsense!!! Just cover their faces!!!
Making THEM pay the US taxpayers back is more punishing than five years of a life sentence only to be commuted by the NEW party in power.
Thank you Sundance! I understand! The criminals, names that we all know, used a moral constitution for corruption. If the Russia impeachment attempt was all they had done then they might get away with it. American people’s opinion: they tried to make President Trump look like he was connected to Russia but he wasn’t. The other Two Bombshells are a totally different story when it comes to the American people. 1. Hunter says in the emails that he has been doing this for 30 years. Millions, Millions, Millions. “The guy has to have his cut” While, many in American work 2 and 3 jobs. 2. If Obama lied to us about the the kill shot and then Killed our brave seals and also played games about all kinds of things with security and our lives, I can not image what the American people will do. I don’t think a scope memo will make any difference to America.
Yep, this is the reason for their panic.
Globalists, deep state made a decision decades ago that their ambitions were worth any of us dying.
Blue Wildflower??
?
#2 would do it, IMO
This is the solicitation of an agreement. Rosenstein was not obligated to sign on the dotted line at all. So was he incompetent, negligent, misled, intimidated, or knowingly and willingly complicit to further the aims of an illegal investigation by facilitating a color of law pretense.
I would go for all three but ‘intimidated’ leads the list.
How on EARTH do these effete characters think they could rule a world when they have pristine cuticles, perfectly creased slacks, plugs and wigs and all manner of alien substance in their bodies?
Xi, Putin, ISLAM would decimate them in a month.
Once Rosie had willingly offered wearing a wire, and the 25th! He was fair game for ALL blackmail. He’s a weak coward. He may be smart, but he is weak.
I personally don’t think Rosie’s that smart. But, that’s just my opinion.
Complicit.
This corruption didn’t start with President Trump; the various swamp critters have been doing this sort of activity for years as they work their way up the food chain. Then one day Weissmann puts this paper in front of Rosenstein and says sign on the dotted line.
Rosenstein doesn’t need to be overtly intimidated; he knows what will happen to him if he tries to back out.
Exactly.
This is how the Uniparty rolls.
The “R” and “D” labels were just for us common folks.
I lean toward knowingly complicit.
Ahhh, NOW I understand the sudden raft of “former DOJ” anonymous accounts and bylines dedicated to knocking down everything LR lays out. They are all RR buds and apologists. And, from the tone of some of the writing, re-purposing op-shop/lobbyist/foreign agent work they are doing in their post-DOJ cash-in days.
THIS letter also explains the nature of the “secrete” verbal orders claimed by Mueller in his court response to Manafort’s questioning of the Special Counsel’s “secret verbal” orders.
All anybody on the Mueller Team had to do was show Rosenstein this letter, mention a name and that person was under investigation. This letter goes far beyond the description SD assigns in his commentary, it is a 2-step, legal “carte blanche” to open an investigation to gather evidence upon receiving a verbal authorization.
Interesting part is they could have already gathered the evidence on the Bidens and Clintons for future use, as well, by the Deep State puppet masters.
I was on the fence about Barr. Hat color was grey. Cautious optimism.
The last few days of sunlight have sealed it for me – he is a Black Hat!
Protector of Deep State Institutions
Keeper of the Swamp
Enemy of the State.
Whatever label you want to choose, he needs to be fired the day after the election.
I would say fire him now but you now have Biden on defense and you do not want to create a media story that may overshadow Biden’s pay for influence scheme.
I think Barr knows that he will be gone on November 4th but he doesn’t really care. He did what he was put there to do…slow walk the “investigation” so that nothing would drop before the election and then, if the Left manages to steal it for Biden through vote fraud EVERYTHING will go away!
I better not see him giving any more speeches about the Constitution. What a fraud.
Right?!! All talk and absolutely NO ACTION!!
Barr will have even more time to play bagpipes and hang out w/lifelong family friend Mueller. I am amazed people do no research;)
vikingmom…think about this…Barr’s NAME is going to be associated with a FAILED COUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HE DID NOT BRING TO JUSTICE…That is how it is going to be written…He did not bring JUSTICE…and he is a FAILED ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!!
That is ONE HELL OF A REPUTATION TO BE PASSING DOWN TO THE FAMILY OF BARR…what a slimeball!!!
Or if his tactics work and the Left does manage to steal the election, then his family may be very well rewarded financially for his role in hiding the truth from the American people. And maybe they will be quite happy to be the beneficiaries of his deception….guess it depends on what kind of people they are!
I pray that is not the case. ON 3 NOVEMBER 2020 @ 2400hrs I WILL BE WAITING FOR THE RESULTS…I do not know you religious beliefs but I do believe that President Trump will win but when It is announced I pray that EVERYONE BENDS A KNEE AND THANKS GOD for the Man in our midst…God Bless!!!
I am definitely praying for a Donald Trump victory but am steeling myself to remember that God’s ways are not our ways so we must be prepared to deal with whatever He allows to happen either way.
All I can say is: AMEN!!! Let thy will be done!!!
Just wait 3 weeks. He’s going to have everybody turn in a resignation letter and he will just accept certain ones. Pretty standard operating procedure
Mark, Catholics are not automatically Christians! That is a big problem with the disinformation of the church. True Evangelicals do not side with Biden!
“Catholics are not automatically Christians!”
What’s that supposed to mean?
it means we have a bigot
Thanks. That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Think of the priests who offered up Christ because his death would disassociate them from Him and His unpopular truth and piety, which exposed for all their hubris and hypocrisy.
Their ancestors show up every era.
Forgive me if I copy and paste your remark, sans name but I will state it was not mine. About the most profound statement I’ve see in a very long time. Faith brother.
You many want to study up on the “Period of Evangelization and Precatechumenate” before you blindly disparage someone who just might know more than you about a particular subject.
Do you think they are?
Maybe it means people like pro-choice Nancy.
A Christian is MORE than someone who attends church. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one gets to the Father, except through me.” So clearly, believing in Jesus is the only WAY. Entering a church is not sufficient, you have to believe Jesus is God and that His death on the cross paid for YOUR sins. If you believe, then you repent of your sins (this means stop doing the sins.) You will not be perfect, obviously. This is why we constantly pray and seek forgiveness.
One of the main differences between Protestants and Catholics is the Priest. Protestants believe they have direct access to God through Christ, their Priest. Catholics believe they have access to God throught their Priests in the church. But either way the core is who is Jesus? Is He only the son of God or is He both God and man. Many arguments have been
held over this issue. The most critical litmus test is when Jesus said in Matt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Believers in Jesus Christ will never hear those words. But the chaff in the church, the pretenders and non believers, the deceivers will hear those words and will be cast in to eternal life, separated from God. As believers, we cannot know who is who. But we will know them by their fruit. Seen any good fruit lately????
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 1 Timothy 2:5
To contemplate having Christ look upon thee and say “I never knew you” is the scariest verse in the Bible.
There’s no phone call, appeal, or lawyer…just pure hell for all eternity.
“Devils believe and tremble.” ~James 2:19
I think he means that just because one claims to be Catholic doesn’t mean one is a Christian. There are people who claim to be Catholic and Evangelical who merely claim that Jesus is their Lord.
Just look at the demon that is sitting in the popes chair.
It means that not all Catholics believe died and was resurrected for our salvation. Catholics wear a crucifix of Jesus on the cross. Christians wear a cross because they realize that there is more to his death and He is not dead but very much alive. Many Catholics (Laura Ingraham) wear a cross and are Christians.
Catholics ARE Christians. Catholics were the first Christians Laura is also a Catholic. I am confused by your comment that I read not only once but twice because you posted it twice!P.S. If you don’t know the Catholic faith then don’t give an opinion as fact. Thanks.
It’s not about wearing the cross; it’s about bearing the cross.
As President Trump often says, “Wrong.”
It means that not all Catholics believe died and was resurrected for our salvation. Catholics wear a crucifix of Jesus on the cross. Christians wear a cross because they realize that there is more to his death and He is not dead but very much alive. Many Catholics (Laura Ingraham) wear a cross and are Christians.
In what universe?

MTeresa-My question exactly!
“Catholics are not automatically Christians!” Means the same thing as Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans etc. are not automatically Christians. The old adage goes like this: “because a mouse gets inside the cookie jar doesn’t make it a cookie.” The same goes for churches of all types and those inside of them. Remember, the Gospels record that many followed Jesus for food and miracles; i.e. not a practice of their faith. People have not changed from then until now so don’t be surprised when some of questionable motive claim Christ or one of HIS churches; unworthily.
Ignorant.
CATHOLIC is the foundation of Christianity. ALL christian religions fall UNDER ‘Catholic’. Look up the meaning of the word.
Amy Comyn Barrett and Judge Scalia are Christians.
Agree!
Hmm sorry but Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity
The prior and latter ancestors and neighbors of Joseph and Mary plus the immaculate conception are foundational too.
p.s.
Peter, also an imperfect humun – whom denied Jesus 3 times –
improved his fortitude and virtuous “faith” over time – became “the rock” – and subsequently the first pope.
There is a lot to be learned from the true story, both B.C. and A.D.
Some of it, is written, verified – and continually verified in a variety of ways ….
100% What he said. Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Light.!
Catholic means universal . Roman is Rome . ” There is one body and one Spirit , just as you were called in one hope of your calling ; one Lord , one faith , one baptism ; one God and Father of all , who is above all , and through all , and in you all . ” Ephesians 4 – 6
Ignorant? Hardly. The Patriarch of Rome instituted the Great Schism with the Orthodox Church which has been around since the time of the Apostles (it began in Antioch).
The Patriarch of Rome took it upon himself to alter the Nicene Creed with the introduction of the heretical “filioque” clause which made the Spirit proceed from both Father and Son and diminished the authority and power of the Spirit.
The Orthodox Church is the foundational church of gentile Christianity. Sorry to hurt anyone’s feelings, but study it yourself and you will see. 1054 is the birth date of the Roman Catholic Church as its own entity…the year its legates “excommunicated” the Patriarch of Constantinople by marching into Hagia Sophia and announcing it was so.
And, no, I am not Orthodox, just a person who likes to study theology and church history.
So save your fiery darts.
Ageed and I am Orthodox.
Thank you for the concise and accurate history of events.
Thank you.
Catholic means universal.
A true statement, kudos to u to point it out.
Also a true statement, many a true evangelical is not Christian either.
Name the denomination that considers itself under the heading of Christianity and you have many in the denomination that are actually Christian = born again.
Excuse me,,, but you are absolutely full of crap. It is impossible to be a catholic and not be a Christian. Please keep your ignorant bigoted comments to yourself, they are not welcome here.
I approve this statement, tdwesselman.
100% agree! One cannot be Catholic without being Christian! (except I wouldn’t name call someone while explaining this… – seems like the opposite of Christian behavior)
no name calling. The term of bigotry is an accurate description of a behavior and full of crap is an accurate depiction of a condition. Whatever leads a mind to make such derisive statements about Catholics clearly is not pure and charitable.
🙂
Do you believe Nancy Pelosi is a Christian? Seriously? She is a Catholic, so she says, but it is Jesus who knows the heart and being a member of a church, Catholic or Protestant, doesn’t automatically means you are a Christian. Jesus said by their fruit you shall know them and tell me, what fruit does anyone observe from Nancy Pelosi that tells you she is a Christian?
Bravo!
“Not everyone who sayeth unto me, ‘Lord’, ‘Lord’ shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
I can walk around and tell everyone that I’m a giraffe, but that doesn’t make me a giraffe!
I would say she is a CINO.
?.
You got the 1st and 3rd letters correct. The 2nd letter should be U and the 4th T. Also need EVIL in front of it.
Please watch your language in here.
You are conflating the difference between saying you are a catholic, and living the life of a catholic. Hypocritical people exist everywhere, but people that actual walk the walk are real.
That is exactly the point that RipTide made at the beginning of this discussion.
RipTide did not state it as precisely as you, but had everyone taken a breath and considered what he intended to imply rather than inferring the worst possible meaning of his words, we could have saved 10,000 characters of column space here.
I know some members of the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the United Methodist Church, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – none of whom are Christian in my opinion because of their overt hatred towards those who actually try to live according to Bible doctrine.
These faux Christians that I know are fierce defenders of abortion rights, gay marriage rights, all sorts of transgender and gender identity choices, unlimited illegal immigration, as well as their overt bigotry towards patriotic values and pro-life stances. I honestly do not understand how they reconcile their extremely progressive positions with exegetically verifiable true Bible doctrine.
But I am still studying the Bible and trying to learn more every day. I admittedly may have missed the parts that tell us all the leftwing Marxist policies are perfectly in alignment with God’s Word.
GB
This is my like, with a LOL and an exclamation point!
TY! (your check is in the mail…? )
Exactly. I heard decades ago via the grapevine that while giving sermons pastors and priests can easily see lots of things they don’t like. They keep their mouths shut, they won’t judge their members but they are not stupid either. The trade name is crocodiles.
?
You don’t get more Socialist than turning the other cheek. I prefer an eye for an eye myself.
Interesting. I’m thinking of many exceptions to that, so we might need to discuss in a future Open Thread but not here. I am way O/T already. Peace.
Finally, some sense of sanity…what happened to this thread is unbelievable!!!
GB…tango yankee on bringing sanity back…
Me…I’m Roman Catholic…But there is ONE thing I don’t do. I try to argue someone else’s religion.
People believe what they believe. It is NOT anybody’s place, including this board to try to promote/demote any type of religion. That is NOT what this board is about…
Sometimes it is harder to be a Christian than to be true to one’s spirit of their religion.
Spot on ED, TY too.
Very well said!!!!
It’s probably a wheat and tares thing. Let it all grow together until the harvest.
Pelosi is, however, a devout cynic who assumes that most people are supremely ignorant.
In truth, how can we blame her since she has been re-elected so many times and remains to plague us all.
… i got it for you…she is ..C I N O …no any one who support abortion is not catholic…
Tdwesselman, jelu,jkash:
You are deceived if you believe that if you are catholic or protestant you are automatically a born again believer.
No where in my comments did I say anything of the sort.
Who will be the final decider? The laws of man or of God? In reality one can claim to be anything, does that make it so?
Does this make me a bigot?
So every professed Catholic is a Christian by default? So all of the many travesties that have been committed by Man are in fact committed by Christians?
I’m sorry. Saying you are something doesn’t make it so. Oh should life be so easy.
A Christian would never own horse whip a slave.
A Christian would never pack Jews into boxcars and send them to death camps.
A Christian would never pull a baby out of a women’s womb, snip it’s neck and sell it’s parts.
Catholics and Christians alike have done all of these things without repenting. Which means that they were never Catholics or Christians; they are fallen Men who are closer to Satan than they are to God.
I pray everyday to be a better man than my failings reveal. But I would never even imagine doing anything listed above. If one can do those things without repent and be a Christian, then what is the point?
Didn’t some of King Solomon’s wives sacrifice their babies? And didn’t Solomon participate in this with them. Yet he did repent later in life.
…but I LOVE the insight shared by some mystics that some we will see in Heaven (God willing I make it) will surprise us. While some who are missing will surprise us.
Although for the latter: That is OUR obligation to pray and sacrifice for all of these miscreants.
No matter how awful in this short life, an ETERNITY of despair, agony and isolation (it is NOT going to be a case of misery loves company or organizing down there amidst the sulfur) is something don’t wish on anyone.
Most especially because even more hurt by damnation than the damned is their Father, Who weeps for His children lost.
‘Tho I disagree with your premise that some unfortunate souls will spend ETERNITY in despair, agony, and isolation I can certainly agree that we should pray and sacrifice for the ignorant miscreants.
What a swerve off of the topic. Cmon.
Evangelicals use a Bible written by close observers or Christ, compiled by Catholic Christians, but watered down by 16th-to-18th Century common men who supplanted their views. To be sure, the Biden’s are CINOs.
Go ahead and start a firestorm here. I won’t reply.
“Evangelicals use a Bible written by close observers or Christ, compiled by Catholic Christians“
Some may not be aware of the number of translations used by many evangelical Christians presently have provenances beyond the Vulgate or particular codexes. Reportedly, six of the seven initial church councils took place not in Rome but in the Eastern part of where Christianity had a presence and therefore would not be regarded solely as products of what came to be known as the Roman Catholic Church.
Notably, much of what resulted came from translations found in the Eastern church and the Alexandrian Church, all of which were distinct from Rome, which at the time of the councils had what was regarded as a representative bishop of no greater authority than the Eastern or North African counterparts.
The whole thing about churches is mute.
According to the Bible….. Which church is better….. oldest…best…. is
missing the point totally.
You are God’s church. “Where two or more gather in my name…
will be my church”. Your body is your temple… treat it with respect.
Don’t abuse it with drugs… alcohol…unmarried sex…overeating….
smoking…
because as your temple..and God’s church…. he wants you
to be respectful, thoughtful, pure in body and heart
to live one amazing life… to be an example to those around you.
To inspire your children and grandchildren to keep a godly spirit…
to be a good church for God.
BTW JESUS WAS A JEW 2000+… years ago. Being a Jew was
not a requirement… but being a good church messenger was.
Looking for a church is not the point. “BEING A GOOD CHURCH FOR
GOD”, is the point.
Standing in a garage, does not make anyone a car.
So bickering about churches is fruitless. That is sinfull.
I understand what Rip Tide is trying to say. It goes for all people and denomination. For example CINOs (Catholics in name only). And the example of Nancy Pelosi highlights Rip Tide’s comment. Happy Friday!
“Just because a mouse lives in a cookie jar does not make him a cookie” Papa Ten Boom
Beginning with Riptides comment, we have a whole, long string of comments, arguing about whether a Catholic is or is not a Christian.
Somebody want to tell me WHAT this has to do with the TOPIC of this thread, which is Rosemstien signing a “Scope” memo for the SC investigation????
Yeah, this is NOT the Presidential thread, or the Daily thread, both of which are BOTH OPEN TOPIC .
C’Mon, man, I thought it was libertards who ignore the rules?
Dutchman, do you have any wine?…I have the bread…what say we pass it out and see what happens!!! Maybe some sanity might creep back in!!!
Besides, it’s Friday and it is 1700hrs somewhere in the beautiful place called Earth…Time for another Rum/7…
I totally agree. I was looking for a good place to make a point about cfr 600 the statute that authorizes the special counsel. In the very first line of cfr 600 it says that it is only for a criminal investigation. There was no crime alleged. Without the allegation of a crime, how can there be a criminal investigation? There cannot be. We don’t investigate people to find crimes. We see a crime, we investigate to find out who committed it.
There was never any legal authority for the special counsel. The special counsel is not authorized to do a counterintelligence investigation. Only criminal. Nothing else. And they all knew it.
“ It is easy for me to make statements against evangelicals (since I am a member of the denomination that has been growing,”
That’s your criteria?
What denomination is that which uses THAT criteria? Islam? Muslim?
There isn’t ONE Christian denomination (Protestant or Catholic) that uses that criteria. Not one.
So what ‘denomination’ are you?
There are a few Catholic priests courageous enough to speak the truth:
https://anticatholicticket.com/archives/1510?fbclid=IwAR1qRp2idGty0qqZ7oTOZ2iDZyUn7OUBVyl-NfSunngk0eVKj3tIh9bWSLc
Well that was edifying.
Since Martin Luther was a Catholic Monk and Protectants all stand on his shoulders I guess your expectation of seeing Catholics in Heaven is tenable.
* Protestants
In an era where CEO’s are accountable for all their financials by signature, the acting USAG did not feel responsible for anything requiring his signature?
It’s very revealing, no?
And the FISA signature requirement has little meaning or responsibility tied to it?
Anyone watching knew something was up with the personnel choices in the Mueller team, all democratic attorneys and FBI Agents who exonerated Clinton.
But denying oversight responsibility to a signature requirement by an Acting USAG is just irresponsible and he should be punished appropriately.
And I will repeat this again and again !
We have and innocent man, Lt. General Flynn, that has been Illegally prosecuted and persecuted and bankrupted for 4 years, and it isn’t over yet !
AND THE FEDERAL FELONS THAT HAVE DONE THIS TO HIM ARE STILL WALKING AROUND FREE AND GETTING RICH ON BOOK DEALS AND TV GIGS !
And that is just a single example of what these corrupt scumbags have done !
And don’t forget what they’ve done to Paul Manafort!
At one time, this was a smoking gun.
Now, it’s just cold and dirty.
You could say the same about how U.S. Department of Justice lawyers massage one-another’s despicable reputations: “Listening to Nina Totenberg interview Ruth Bader Ginsberg was like watching two hairless cats lick each other on a shag rug.” Check it out:
https://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm?frm=190315&sec_id=190315
After Clarence Thomas was COMPLETELY exonerated and all of Anita Hill’s witness testimonials fell apart shortly after his hearing, Nina Totenberg CONTINUED to accuse Clarence Thomas and has smeared him to this day.
How Thomas Sowell felt about her after seeing how his friend Justice Thomas was eviscerated is …well, let’s just say that the fairly self-controlled Sowell was NOT.
That woman was doing journalistic malfeasance decades ago and ought to be on a pile of dung.
I wonder if Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh have discussed what it feels like to have your entire life and reputation destroyed by crazed Leftist women and an utterly dishonest media, simply for the purpose of protecting a made up right to kill children in the womb!
Judge Thomas as I recall was very grinny and enthusiastic at Kavanaugh’s swearing in, possibly because he now had a compatriot on the court who had gone through the same hell and now understood what a high tech lynching was like. And hopefully soon they will be joined by a third member of that most exclusive club.
TarsTarkas—And, amazingly, all three are Catholic! The Left is scared to death about loosing abortion!!!!! Good!!!
YES they are…because OUR country was founded on Christian Principles and NOT the splitting of when a child is a human being…That is what the outcome of the Burger court was…When is it a human!!!!! And OUR nation has been on a path of Self-Destruction since then until President Trump!!!
Is “like watching two hairless cats lick each other on a shag rug” something like Pelosi and HRC?
I posted this a number of times, and even went down to our Republican Office to suggest this, but now I think it is more important than ever given the Biden laptop evidence and proof of corruption and ripping off America:
We need rallies all over this country protesting Joe and Hunter Biden’s family corruption -“Biden Crime Family -Lock them UP”
I don’t have the ability to organize such a national event, but it would bring attention to this huge issue!
Please check out ‘unitethenation.net’ It has been gaining momentum in states.
A former pro defensive line man started it. I think his name is Kevin O’Brien.
He is Catholic but this is a national thing, a national thing partnered with prayer.
ANY process that unifies us in the next two weeks is gold.
Isn’t it, “uniteournation.net”? Couldn’t find anything on, “unitethenation.net”. It’s a Rosary rally, but anyone can join in, I’m sure. Just that after the Holy Mass, the Rosary is the most powerful prayer out there. Check out the Battle of Lepanto!!!

I remember seeing a flamethrower to eradicate a nest of snakes.
Pour molten aluminum down a nest of fire ants. You kill the ants and when you dig up the solidified aluminum and clean it you get a very pretty fractal sculpture of the tunnels of the ant nest.
Flamethrower! Sounds like a great idea. That’s why we hired POTUSDJT! And we’re praying and voting him in for a second, very necessary term!!!!
Me…I prefer RDX!!! The Israeli kind!!! 8,650m/s or 28380 ft/s…WOWZA!!!
Down hole explosive designer…LOVED MY JOB MAN!!!
The People loaned their Power to President Trump when they elected him. He delegated that power to Jeff Sesions. Jeff Sessions abandoned that power to Rod Rosenstein. And Rod Rosenstein abdicated it to Dirty Bob the Befuddled, Weissman stole it from Gramps.
The history books will one day say, correctly, that for two years, Andrew Weissman was the Attorney General of the United States. And a criminal.
Jeff Session and Bill Barr will go down as the worst AG’s these United States ever had…
THERE IS NO WAY THEIR REPUTATIONS CAN BE RE-DONE…THEIR REPUTATIONS ARE WRITTEN AS WE ARE TYPING/SPEAKING THIS!!!…
I should have pity on them BUT I DON’T…THEY DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS LIKE THEY WERE HIRED TO DO. IN THE MILITARY, THIS WOULD GET YOU COURT-MARTIALED!!!
I do not know where in the world your “logic” originates from. Not only do EVANGELICALS not support the list of heinous activity you list, they certainly do NOT support Slo Joe. They have been firmly behind PDJT since 2016 and continue to do so. I suspect you are one of the LoFos invading this site with your lines of disinformation.
Someone linked to an Newsweek article last night and this was on there also.
There are some “woke” Christians, not just Catholic, we see it all the time. And look how Marxism has invaded the church.
https://www.newsweek.com/woke-christians-are-eroding-donald-trumps-base-dividing-evangelical-church-1534720
Whether it’s Newsweek or not, Evangelical pastors are preaching critical race theory, etc.
Obviously not JUST Evangelicals. Lots of Catholics, too. Probably lots of every denomination. And to me, none of the are real “Christians.” I don’t think we can generalize anymore about groups, unless you want to say people with REAL morals, support President Trump. The brainwashed masses, Christian or not – DO NOT.
All I have to say on the matter is a supposed “Christian” can attach any label to themselves that they want but it does not necessarily offer a description of them. Look at the filth the “Westboro Baptist Church” spews. No King James Bible believer would manifest such hate, to begin with, and certainly not profess some of the “doctrine” that has no Bible basis that they do. Any denomination can have saved Brethren in it as the name of your sect has no hearing on the Grace God has provided. It is solely dependent on an INDIVIDUAL choice of faith in Christ for your personal salvation and repenting of your sins that were justice delivered by the Father would properly put you in Ghenna for eternity.
It is both sad and frightening what has become of the church. I have looked time and time again where I live for a church that preaches God’s word but also has traditional services. I miss old hymns with beautiful lyrics not the dumbed down praise music that is almost like a chant and created for a 2nd grader comprehension.
My comment is for al above trying to decide who is a Christian and who is not. Matthew 7:1 Judge not lest ye be judged.
The church is being lost and you retreat to the abbreviated “Judge not lest ye be judged”. I am willing to be judged in the way I am judging. The church has been invaded and twisted to fit modern progressive views. I will judge, God gave us discernment.
Yep. One of the offices of the Holy Spirit is to “convict of judgement.” John 16:8
The MOST misused partial quote from the Bible. We all judge lots. In fact, without making judgments every day you would not survive. The mandate is not THAT we judge but HOW we judge.
“1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (Matt 7:1-2)
…is the ENTIRE quote warning us it is important how we judge that our own metric will be used on us. As God is the only righteous judge it is pointing out human judgment is flawed but it is still a necessity.
Also, John 7:24 — “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge the righteous judgment.”
Taking it all in context, it is evident that we need to avoid leading with wrath, anger, and conclusion-jumping versus being circumspect and deliberate in such matters.
Look for an Independent Baptist Church first. When you find one make sure they use doctrine from the Holy Bible, preach often about the sin nature of man, and let all know of the salvation available through the blood of Christ as the ultimate sacrifice. Gospel translates to “Good News” which is the Life, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus. That the tomb is empty is a very important measure of the Word being preached. If a church does not use the Bible for doctrine turn and leave. Baptists are the sole sect of Christians that predate the birth of Christ and are not technically “Protestants” as they were never a part of the RCC so did not “leave” it.
Churches definitely need to be evaluated carefully especially as many begin with forms of love bombing in their welcome, only to introduce strict rules (and signed agreements — often vague about the details in the front end — they insist are Biblical) that have you bound to their commands financially and in personal actions — complete with prooftexted Scripture about authority store houses and such. As “grievous wolves“ appear to be part and parcel with dangers within churches, one ought to evaluate all of the preceding through that lens, as it’s the wolves that will so often act sincere while they abuse authority and demand payment for the privilege.
What??????????
I think in the past, like 2016, the church got off its blessed and voted Trump.
My old pastor from sometime back (a Black dude) led a Black Lives Matters protest. I really, really believe that he does not know about BLM’s Marxist roots.
There is absolutely nothing to prevent POTUS declassifying. POTUS, is at fault for not doing so. His base would welcome it, and many are curious as to why he won’t do it. Less of the “authorize”, and more of the “I order you”, is what is required. JUST DO IT!
Okay. It is now obvious that all of the key people in almost every Bureaucracy of the Federal Government are Obama operatives working to complete Obama’s agenda of making the top of the Democrap Party the de facto Politburo of the United States.
Now let’s focus on how to get President Trump re-elected in 18 days. We can get back to the Swamp fiasco afterwards, but if we don’t win this election, there will be no afterwards for us. I think every person on this blog site should be too busy working on that one goal right now! We can complain about Obama, Weissmann, Comey, and everyone else who has participated in this coup to overthrow our President until Hell freezes over. But, if we can’t give our President another term, it will be We the People who will be vanquished from whatever becomes of the United States.
Can anyone else see the freight train coming?
TRUMP 2020!
Painfully obvious was the intention of the Swamp to draw out the exposure of the guilty UNTIL NOBODY CARES ANY LONGER so that the Marxists running our government can claim this is yesterday’s news, move on.
They will continue to lie more and say that this conspiracy theory has already been debunked.
Even freakin’ Andy McCarthy says to move on from the Russia Hoax, nothing to see here.
Face it: No one gives a damn BUT us.
The Swamp is just laughing in our faces.And No Freakin’ Body Is Going To Jail.
The electorate’s attention span is 2 freakin’ minutes. Only to be distracted by the Marxist media’s next controlled narrative.
The willfully in denial brain dead who vote Democrat believe the end justifies the means.
They don’t give a damn how the Left assumes power.
Half of this country believes in cheating.
Half of the country is ethically bankrupt.
It is not an even field of play and will never be because GOP politicians hate the Deplorable Patriot loving American Exceptionalism believing citizen’s guts. They don’t hate Trump. They hate us.
They believe we need to be reeducated.
We ruined their business model.
The US is a Cultural Marxist Country run by the Davos Crowd.
Who will cheat, lie, steal, and suppress the truth until they beat the un-indoctrinated part of the country into submission,
The Davos Crowd are rebranding Cultural Marxism as ” a new kind of Capitalism.”
https://meaninginhistory.blogspot.com/2020/10/davos-man-seeks-to-take-over-us.html
If the Davos Crowd can’t brainwash you, they are perfectly content to remove all happiness from your life.
They are following a traditional communist model, the goal will be to continue to eradicate choice until the only options left are those that are granted to us by centralized committee.
“They are following a traditional communist model, the goal will be to continue to eradicate choice until the only options left are those that are granted to us by centralized committee.”
I left the UK for just that reason. I refuse to move a second time. There is no where left to go, but the ocean.
Welcome to the United States of America and Hope that we prevail in this election so that you stay…and I agree…there is NO WHERE ELSE TO GO EXCEPT THE OCEAN!!!
A nice rant and I mostly agree with all of it. Now lets go out and get our President re-elected. That is what we CAN do right now.
None of this happened, it’s all been debunked. Source: Twitter
Google it, oh never mind it won’t come up in any search.
No small irony that Winston Smith’s job in 1984 is to rewrite historical documents to fit the current political narrative.
dd_sc—-Ouch! Thanks for that reminder, I think!
No one should have any doubt at this point that tick tock was always for the purpose of running out the clock… I couldn’t have predicted it any better 2 years ago. Its like clock-work.
We should have taken warning when we heard Barr and Mueller’s wives were in Bible study together among other things.
I wonder if Durham is voting for Biden…
So the Holder/Obama team that built this DOJ/FBI, stocked to the gills with partisans and yes men toadies, realized right away the danger to the enterprise Trump represented. And by the enterprise, I mean permenantly captured government. Rolling Sessions, easy, rolling Rosenstein, easy. The special counsel was the A team, they just weren’t that good. And they didn’t have much damning evidence to work with. Trump is a vindictive sort. None of these theories of deals or turn the other cheek will pan out. Not only does he want justice, he’s got scores to settle.
I disagree with President being described as “vindictive.”
vindictive
adj. Disposed to seek revenge; revengeful.
adj. Marked by or resulting from a desire to hurt; spiteful.
Revengeful; given to revenge; indicating a revengeful spirit.
President Trump honors justice.
There is a big difference between seeking justice and seeking revenge.
I disagree that there is a big difference. Take out the middle spiteful reference and I believe our President is right in sync with the other two definitions you present. As he should be. Our entire justice system is based on vengeance, as it should be. That’s how you right wrongs. The only other option is turn the other cheek. How’s that working out for Portland and Chicago?
It’s a very female trait to work things out so everyone is happy. But that doesn’t keep the barbarians out of the castle. Sometimes you have to destroy the bad guys. And that takes rough men to get the job done. Our President is a rough man. That’s why I believe he will get the job done. That’s what the times call for.
“Trump is a vindictive sort.” Maybe we can just say he has a long memory, as well he should.
The DOJ/FBI was stocked with partisans long before Obama took advantage of that fact. These Bureaucraps know which side of the bread the butter is on. They will always wholeheartedly support the political party that gives them the most butter. Advocates of smaller Government will always face this challenge. Advocates of draining the whole swamp will always be facing panic within the ranks of the so-called ‘civil service’. We can’t drain the swamp until we get all public sector labor unions outlawed and identify the Bureaucraps as what they are, leeches who are thriving on the backs of the rest of us.
Now for the odds of us ever getting a smaller Federal Government about the same as me finishing this posting before they have spent another billion dollars that don’t and never did even exist.
First things first. Lets go re-elect our President and a majority in the Senate and House. But only if they install Amy Barrett on the SCOTUS.
I haven’t seen Clear and Present Danger and I am no lawyer, but I suspect the Oct Scope Memo won’t be a magical get out of jail card if their actions are tried as a conspiracy. At that time, they were all well aware that they, themselves, had manufactured the bogus security threat to the United States as well as the charges against Flynn. IMHO it is just further evidence of a conspiracy by a relatively small group of individuals to illegally depose a duly elected President and deny Flynn his civil rights.
If Rosenstein is a smart lawyer and DOJ bureaucrat, he had Weissman put into writing why the scope had to be expanded and why each FISA had to be renewed.
He’s not going down alone.
I could definitely be mistaken but I read that statement as in:
Not everyone that carries or touts a label or title IS what they say they are. There are plenty of folks that call themselves Christian that are NOT.
It’s possible that Jesus isn’t moved or beset by our titles. I’m pretty sure he sees and responds right to the heart of the matter, or individual as it were. Evangelical, Catholic, Reformed, Greek Orthodox or any other denomination or ‘camp’, The enemy of our souls enjoys infiltrating & hunkering down in them all. Wheat & tares growing up together. Wolves in sheep’s clothing & the like. Pharisees- Sadducees that Jesus confronted, actually even calling them “children of the devil”.
In todays political environment kind of like our example being—RINO’s.
Bigot? Dang that seems a bit strong considering the truth of the matter.
Well said
Rosenstein was a rubber stamp. The FISC judges were rubber stamps. Comey was a rubber stamp, etc. The entrenched bureaucracy has been operating this way for decades. It’s a built-in butt covering personal defense to the institutional defense of mistakes were made. Barr focused on the underlying predicate from the beginning knowing the players would have followed the process and exercised their rubber stamps. The central question has always been was there a lawful predicate for the investigation the rubber stamps launched that followed the books but made all these mistakes along the way.
So when the CIA director briefs the President on reliable intel that the Russians believe HRC’s campaign is trying to them and Trump to distract from her email issues who/what was supposed to be investigated in the CIA’s referral to the FBI? and why? It seems the real get Trump effort started when POTUS found out the Russians knew what HRC and others were up to.
Am I reading this right? The scope memo here means that the SCO could investigate anyone they wanted to that even came close to the Trump orbit and even if the SCO finds nothing, the Justice Department can continue to investigate after the SCO is finished? A carte blanche to open ended investigations of Americans just because they know Trump?
And with all that they found nothing other than Cohen stealing taxi medallions, Manafort falsifying loan docs, and a entrapment setup of Papadopoulis, Stone, and Flynn under false pretense? Nothing related to Russia collusion to steal an election. And the entire idea/plan was hatched by the opposition party Hillary Clinton campaign?
That’s a pretty broad investigation of American citizens that actually violates their civil and Constitutional rights. Just by having Rosenstein sign a piece of paper.
Where is Joe DiGenova – the great promoter of Barr?
We – who believed JD’s accolades of Barr – and that justice would served – have been fooled by JD! We deserve an explanation !
Also would like to hear Joe DiGenova’s explanation why he thinks Barr (and Wray) did nothing with the damning information on Hunter Biden’s laptop that they had since December. This information could have stopped the impeachment dead in its tracks!
I too would like to hear Joe DiGenova’s take on Bill Barr’s silence and almost complete inaction on the coup front after two full years fully in charge, with the president practically begging him to administer justice? Absolute crickets.
Is the esteemed Bill Barr still every bit the honest and incorruptible broker of justice you publicly praised him as being? … or are you going to come out in the same forceful voice and admit what an absolute disappointment and traitor he has been to President Trump and the entire country?
I think you were duped with the rest of us, only worse because you stood up and put your credibility on the line for him – don’t let Bill Barr destroy your reputation too.
Guffman, don’t forget, diGenova was a federal prosecutor too. That experience colors his perception of what Bill Barr’s job is. Is diGenova a patriot? I would say almost definitely yes. But the department of justice has lost its way, and is acting more like a white collar defense firm for federal employees. Hopefully, that’ll get shaken up next month
Star—-Yeah, hopefully we could get Rudy or Sidney in there! THAT would be great!!!
“Lost it’s way…” is not an accurate statement IMO. The DOJ and FBI seem to be corrupt from top to bottom… possibly the CIA as well. Four years of not only hiding, delaying, obstructing and completely ignoring REAL crimes against the country, but actually persecuting an innocent President and the people around him for that whole time! And if there are good, honest men and women working there – as we’re told ad nauseum – where the hell are they to whistleblow all this inside rot?!
These are completely rogue and corrupt institutions, ones we used to find only in third world 5hithole countries. This is now America.
Given the number of government officials guilty of “Color of Law” and “Sedition” violations to include the Attorney General. How can justice be expected from those who broke the law. Answer, you can not. How can we expect these same people when out of office to not interfere with actions of the government to include the president over the next four years Answer, we can not. Then how are we to deal with these people. Answer, by prosecuting each one of them. Then how are we going to accomplish this task. Answer, by Marshall Law while their replacements are being selected.
Color of law. Color of law refers to an appearance of legal power to act that may operate in violation of law. For example, if a police officer acts with the “color of law” authority to arrest someone, the arrest, if it is made without probable cause, may actually be in violation of law. In other words, just because something is done with the “color of law” does not mean that the action was lawful.
Sedition. A revolt or an incitement to revolt against established authority, usually in the form of Treason or Defamation against government. Sedition is the crime of revolting or inciting revolt against government. However, because of the broad protection of free speech under the First Amendment, prosecutions for sedition are rare.
This is simply a tactic that the swamp has been using to try to avoid the prosecutions.
It is simple.
The DOJ and FBI slow walk everything and fail to work on key things. The strategy is simple. They want to pretend they are working to get Trump impatient and force him to issue an order. As soon as he issues a direct command to do something, the swamp can cry “it’s political ” and try to taint all cases.
The real problem is that we don’t have enough non-swamp Senate and Congress to appoint a true AG and FBI director.
Also, think of how many people in DOJ and FBI worked with or were privy to these investigations and DID NOTHING!! All those people automatically become criminally liable.
PDJT can appoint temps….I believe good for 200 some odd days…then appoint another one……….
Yes but ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Did all those who signed the fisa warrants read the top of the first page that they signed under penalty of law that I declare all within is truthful and accurate.
When will they be arrested? We all know the evidence….just get them off the street and away from each other….
We have all heard a lot of discussions concerning the FBI and DOJ in regard to their Honesty and Reliability. I submit that we have proof enough to believe that both organizations are in short supply of an honest man or woman within their ranks. Why would I make such a statement, because over the last 12 years we have seen almost none of them step forward and reveal corruption within their leadership.
Repeatedly, we have heard FBI and DOJ rank and file express their career concerns, if they step forward to expose bad leadership or the loss of their jobs or their retirement. I say that this is a lack of moral foundation must be corrected by finding a better employee.
islandpalm—-I would also state they have poor employees with crap training!!! We have also seen those FBI agents taking a knee! SPIT!!!!
I say just less employees and tell the remainder to spend their time actually doing their jobs, or else. But that would require the removal of public sector labor unions. Next subject.
We have 17 days to win this election and win it beyond any possible dispute. That will require a 40 State landslide. Lets do this! Anyone living in a blue State better be working at bringing in the top of the ticket. Anyone else better be working at winning all of the down ballot contests. See you all on November 4.
Is the FBI protecting society from sociopaths or is the Bureau itself a bureaucratic bunch of sociopaths? Evidence and experience suggest the latter.
The once high and mighty FBI has evolved into a tool for the Political Class. Today, under Comey and now Christopher Wray, they have become a criminal enterprise and they align themselves with the Communist Democrats.
The government hires and breeds sociopaths. Look at the countenance of Lois Lerner and Peter Strzok. They possess an arrogance that spews forth the aura of being above the law and privileged. We the people need to wipe the smug from their face.
Every American should start with this very poignant question #1 below and then drill down and follow it up with these 26 specific questions that AG Barr owes answers to every American.
IMO the answers will tell us all everything we need to know as the truth can not and must not stay hidden.
But first We the People already know that……
The Dossier was a fraud
Russia Collusion was a fraud
The DNC hack was a fraud
The FISA warrants were based on a fraud
The charge on Gen Flynn was a fraud
Impeachment was a fraud
The plan all along was to frame/smear PT to distract from THEIR crimes
AND on top of all this, there was a massive illegal NSA Contractor spying operation conducted against hundreds if not thousands of Americans for years for the purpose of leverage, power and money.
And yet NONE of this has registered any indictments.
It truly is stunning that ALL of this has resulted in a big ZERO from Barr and Durham after 2 years.
Now let’s begin with the questions.
1. How does the office of a U.S. president; and more importantly the republic itself; survive a coordinated coup effort involving all three branches of government; while simultaneously those in charge of exposing the corruption fear the scale is too damaging for them to reveal?
2. Is the Wiener Laptop still in the possession of the FBI and have you or Durham ever seen/reviewed its contents? If not why not?
3. Have you or Durham ever deposed FBI SSA Robertson who was a first hand witness of the contents/investigation of the Wiener Laptop 600K emails? If not why not?
4. Have you or Durham ever deposed Julian Assange, a first hand witness on how Wikileaks got the DNC emails and if indeed it was via Russians like the Mueller team told everyone? If not why not?
5. Have you or Durham examined if the FBI ever investigated the murder of Seth Rich as there should be an easy FBI report in the system? If not why not?
6. Does the FBI still have the 47 hard drives turned in by the Hammer WB back in 2015? If not what happened to this evidence?
7. Have you or Durham ever deposed the Hammer WB who was the actual USER and first hand fact witness of the Hammer Program and who they spied and extracted data on? If not why not?
8. Was exculpatory evidence withheld by either Attorneys and or Agents in the Flynn case and if so why have you not pursued prosecution of this crime or at least referred Attorneys if applicable to the Bar?
9. Do you still have Mifsud’s phones that you and Durham personally confiscated in Italy and what was on them and is there any communications between him and people on the SC team?
10. Where is the missing Flynn 302 and isn’t it a crime to alter a 302 and if so why have you not pursued prosecution of this crime?
11. How many Americans were unmasked by the Obama administration and isn’t unmasking a crime? If so why have you not pursued prosecution of this crime?
12. Have you or Durham gotten FBI SSA Dugen’s testimony and read his surveillance/investigative report about the Carter Page FISA Leak that possibly includes people in the Senate? If not why not?
13. Is leaking a FISA to the media a crime and if so, why have you not pursued prosecution of this crime?
14. If you and Durham knew the Dossier was a lie and it was used in the FISA Court application and lying to a FISA Court is a crime, then why have you not pursued prosecution of this crime?
15. Have you deposed Warner and asked about his involvement if any of the CP FISA leak? If not why not?
16. Did you confiscate any Senate staffer’s phone and if so did it show any texts pages being sent to a reporter?
17.Did you find anything relating to the CP FISA leak on Senator Burr’s phone that we know you confiscated?
18. Have you or Durham depose Crowdstrike regarding the DNC hack? If not why not?
19. Why have you not declassified all of the RR scope memo?
20. Knowing via Adm. Rodgers NSA Search Audit and Judge Collyer’s 99 page report that there WAS massive illegal searching and abuse of the NSA database by contractors, making it a National Security Issue, have you or Durham done or requested a COMPLETE audit going back to 2012 of this NSA Contractor Abuse to fully see the extent of the illegal spying as documented? If not why not?
21. Did you ever trace the PapaD 10k dollars they used to frame him and where it came from? If not why not?
22. With 31 government issued phones that were wiped and are potential evidence in Durham’s Investigation, have you gone to the NSA or carriers to retrieve these emails and texts? If not why not?
23. Based on hard documentation, is it not a crime to plan and approve a fraud/hoax on a sitting President that led to an impeachment hearing and 4 years on Presidential abuse based on a known lie and if so why have you or Durham not prosecuted anyone for this fraud?
24. With the recent evidence that shows Obama knew as far back as July 2016 about the fraud on PT are you or Durham going to interview the ex President to better understand his knowledge and or involvement and why he didn’t warn PT post Nov. election? If not why not?
25. How is it after 4 years of non stop abuse, fraud, lying, leaking, money laundering and a coup on a sitting President you and your entire DOJ team can’t seem to find one crime?
And now the new one……..
26.Now that we know the FIB had the Biden Laptop since Dec 2019, when did you become aware that your FBI had it and have you asked Wray why he didn’t do anything with it as the President was being impeached?
The bottom line is ALL of what we have seen these past 4 years has been a lie, a frame job with the clear intent to smear and take down PT and many in the FIB, DOJ and IC KNEW it from the start while also conspiring with many in the media to feed this lie and coup.
The more people we can equip with these questions the better chance one day somebody will hold AG Barr accountable to the American people.
So everyday I am going to be like that CTH poster who posts “anybody arrested yet” except mine will be these unanswered questions.
Because the answers to these 26 questions IMO will tell all Americans if we truly have one system of justice or if that was all just lip service and if this investigation was ever truly about getting to truth and justice.
Our politicians are greedy and on the take. This is why they remain silent on such things, yet play bread and circus to the crowd! No one did it better than Gowdy
Nice rant. I agree with all of the above points. But I am worried only about winning the election first. I don’t believe 48 talking points will be worth a tinkers damn after the election, if we lose. We fight!
Trump2020
Nothing new here, for those of us with years in the Federal service we know this is how the Federal government operates. Note I didn’t say ‘works’ or ‘functions’.
The government’s a superset of big business, business slithers, squirms and uses a phalanx of lawyers and PR people to navigate the swamp they exist in. The Feds (state and local too) work at covering their crimes and incompetence through organizational lawyers and spinners, it enables them to keep on keeping on without the distractions of doing things efficiently and correctly. Our lawyer was particularly busy.
We have, as a nation, accepted the concept of thievery and general dishonesty in government at all levels as long as it remains at certain levels and doesn’t effect our personal interests.
Mark: Most of what follows your statement “Do you now see the import…” is totally off-topic. One SHOULD know better than to introduce religion into a topic about FACTS.
Religion is never off-topic. It is woven into all of the activities of humanity. I would say such an attitude as yours is a good part of the reason for the current condition of the US. The doctrine of Separation of State seeks to remove religion from the public square but as Madison and others warned this nation would only survive a “moral people.”
Treepers – markone1blog is just here to promote his blog. Still waiting on an answer to my above question.
I’ve never actually viewed the Democrat leadership as cuddly Socialists. Its just something they espouse for their minions. Take abortion for example. Is it really because they think women should do as they choose, or is that something they have instilled in them at school? From the outside looking in, I’d say Democrat leadership are pro abortion because they feel their fan base is too dumb to breed. Its certainly the way they treat them.
They prefer a dumb fanbase.
Curious, when the President wins in three weeks, who will he fire first, Barr or Wray???
Does it matter, do you think he’s going to set the phone down between those calls?
Or is he just going to give a list to Mark Meadows, and say, handle this.
The only way better than that is to let them read about their firing on the television.

Charles—-Maybe it’ll be a two-for-one? Hehehe!!! ?
The only place where this document is dated is in RR’s signature, and looks like it was written as an afterthought.
Does retroactive authority mean anything to anyone?

Where’s Barr been?
Just read this about Mueller: Apparently, he was a British Agent & England has been working AGAINST the USA for decades new!

This info. is so shocking to me, that I will have to spend a week or so on more research!
Why is Weissmann allowed to practice law?
Not man enough to do his own dirty work so he got a resident wonk to do it for him. Makes you wonder what they’ve REALLY got on Rosenstein.
Also – where in the hell is Billy Bagpipes in all this? I know he inherited it, but given the nature of the offense he should have been brought up to speed IMMEDIATELY on what was going on in his own dept (i.e., what was the FBI under Wray doing, and why weren’t certain things already done by the time Billy took over; What the hell is going on at the SDNY US Attorney’s office, with not one or two but a WHOLE OFFICE FULL of loose cannons (as long as they’re pointed at the right); and now this. Doesn’t he have ANY honest subordinates on whose honest interpretation of events he can trust? Shady prosecutorial practices points to every single conviction being obtained by that office since the former US Attorney was in charge coming under judicial review at the US Court of Appeals. No one has to request this; it should be done automatically in such a case. How many of those convictions will now be overturned? How many highly-paid (VERY highly-paid) US Attorneys will (or should) be fired – and then PROSECUTED THEMSELVES for what they’ve done? And we paid them all with our tax dollars?
I’m practically at vomiting stage right now. I used to work with these guys’ counterparts all over the country. How many of them were BS prosecutors? How many of THEIR cases will have to be reviewed, guilty persons released over a technicality?
Ughhhh!!! What the hell’s the use of having a Department of Justice any more??? It’s the department of slipshod or criminal practices. And no one, up to and including the AG, gives a tinker’s damn, apparently.
When will some REALLY, SERIOUSLY PUNITIVE ACTION BE TAKEN AGAINST THESE ATTORNEYS?
HOW LONG, O LORD? HOW LONG??
