To quote the Obama administration: “Call it the stupidity of the American voter, or whatever“, but for obvious reasons the beltway oxygen is being sucked into telling the story of the Senate Committee Intelligence report on “Enhanced CIA Interrogation Techniques”, while ignoring the fact that another pentagon report has yet to surface.
As the CIA report is breathlessly awaited by the leftist storytellers, and media – but I repeat myself, almost no-one is asking about releasing the Army investigation into Bowe Bergdahl which has been complete for three months.
Obviously one report, the CIA report, allows a story to be told which will disparage U.S. interests; the other report, Bergdahl, represents a political risk. To the latter, back in October as the investigation was announced to be complete:
[…] Army spokesman Wayne Hall said the review process likely would be lengthy, and that “the Army’s priority is ensuring that our process is thorough, factually accurate, impartial, and legally correct,” according to the report.
The Army is looking into whether Bergdahl had deserted his post in Afghanistan or was away without leave before he was captured, which would be violations of, and punishable, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (link)
Alas, the CIA interrogation report appears to hold a more favorable opportunity for story telling: (more…)
(MediaIte) In the 2014 midterms, independent candidate Greg Orman nearly unseated GOP incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), but eventually lost by a ten-point margin. This was sad for the Democrats — not just because it helped the GOP take over the Senate, but also because a Democrat-affiliated Super PAC had secretly poured $1.5 million into his race.
According to documents filed to the FEC and found by Bloomberg,, Senate Majority PAC, run by former advisors to Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), quietly donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to two pro-Orman Super PACs after October 16th. This is important, because this magical time after this date is known as the “veiled disclosure period”: Basically, people can donate millions of dollars to a PAC during this time, and legally, do not have disclose this transaction until after the election. (Technically, it’s not secret money, but it kind of is.) (more…)
ST. LOUIS • Dorian Johnson, who shot to fame as a witness to Michael Brown’s fatal encounter with Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, has been hired to do work for the city of St. Louis.
Jeff Rainford, Mayor Francis Slay’s chief of staff, has confirmed that Johnson was hired under a state grant through the city’s Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE).
Officials said he is doing work for the city’s parks department. The job, listed as a temporary position, pays about $8.50 an hour. (more…)
DUH. You guys already know this, but apparently the media had to hire a team of private investigators and investigative journalists to figure it out. The most significant document missing is the one we first noticed absent on the very first night. Dorian Johnson’s joint State and FBI interview conducted on August 13th.
In our researched opinion this is directly because there was a deal made with Dorian for his “story”. (I outlined the deal on November 25th) It is entirely possible, actually more than possible, most likely, the recorded FBI interview/statement of Dorian Johnson is wildly divergent from both his media interviews and his grand jury testimony.
We strongly feel the FBI knew Dorian was making up a story, then when given structural immunity, he admitted to making up a story on August 13th.
The State/FBI officials then allowed him to give BS testimony -that mostly matched his BS media interviews- to the grand jury because the feds/state were willing to provide him a cover story for his own protection from community backlash.
Bottom line, the Feds needed the accurate truth because by August 13th they had enough of a physical and forensic outline to substantiate the three interviews of Darren Wilson. Wilson was interviewed on Saturday 8/9 (local), Sunday 8/10 (local and state), and for more than three hours on Tuesday 8/12 (state and federal FBI).
By the time the same Feds sat down with Dorian (next day after Wilson) as seen in this picture at the attorney’s office, they knew only three actual, well, actually “claimed” eye-witness statements were in conflict with Wilson: Dorian Johnson, Tiffany Mitchell and Piaget Crenshaw. The feds knew the physical evidence DID NOT match the claims of Dorian, Tiffany and Piaget.
They mostly needed to know why those claims didn’t match.

The Dean of Columbia Law School writes:
The grand juries’ determinations to return non-indictments in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases have shaken the faith of some in the integrity of the grand jury system and in the law more generally. For some law students, particularly, though not only, students of color, this chain of events is all the more profound as it threatens to undermine a sense that the law is a fundamental pillar of society designed to protect fairness, due process and equality.
For these reasons, after consultation with students in the law school and with colleagues on the law faculty and in the administration, I am taking the following steps to assure our responsiveness and involvement in this particular moment: (more…)
Did Louis Head “predict” or “create” the Ferguson riots? Inquisitir asks the question, and the Daily Caller and BizPac review find a similar conclusion: “potentially incriminating“.
In Saint Louis Missouri the New Black Panthers were behind a plot to blow up the Gateway Arch and kill city/local officials, as part of the Justice 4 Mike Brown movement. Two Saint Louis suspects were arrested by the FBI. Now in New York another similar planned targeting of police officers is discovered.
NEW YORK – A tattooed gang of militants declared open season on the NYPD in the wake of the Eric Garner grand jury decision, according to a threat a police union verified Saturday.
Ten Black Guerrilla Family members are “preparing to shoot on duty police officers,” Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins said.
The gang, formed in the 1960s in the California prison system, recently surfaced on the East Coast and Maryland, where members are at the heart of a drug-trafficking and corruption probe within the Baltimore prison system.
Members swear allegiance for life and sport “BGF” tattoos, as well as ink depicting a dragon surrounding a prison tower, according to gangs.org. (more…)
