Who's lying...Huma Abedin or Comey?!

"Source: Huma Abedin "surprised" about emails on Anthony Weiner's computer"

"...CBS News has learned that Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide and longtime confidant, says she has no knowledge of any of her emails being on the electronic device belonging to her estranged husband, disgraced ex-congressman Anthony Weiner. 
A source familiar with the investigation told CBS News that the computer where FBI investigators found the latest trove of emails belonged to Weiner, not Abedin. The two separated earlier this year, following news of Weiner’s continued sexting practices."

So, according to Comey today, Abedin sent thousands of Clinton emails to her estranged husband's laptop so she could "print them out".

She didn't have a printer available at campaign headquarters nor her own personal laptop?!!? Really?

North Korea (DPRK): "They therefore plan to win by striking quickly, by surprise, while South

Korea (ROK) are still mobilizing, US reinforcements are not yet in theatre,..."

Snipped:

"DPRK planners recognize their inferiority in technology and, after ROK mobilization, even in numbers. They understand that ROK/US forces will have air superiority initially, and (unless China intervenes) air supremacy within days. They therefore plan to win by striking quickly, by surprise, while ROK forces are still mobilizing, US reinforcements are not yet in theatre, and while our airpower is largely committed to overcoming the DPRK integrated air defense system and targeting WMD storage sites, launchers, and command, control, and communications (C3) networks."

This article is comprehensive and informative, IMO.


In my research on North Korea, I am learning just how little we know about North Korea. It is, after all, the Hermit country.


Another interesting viewpoint:

"Why North Korea Is a Black Hole for U.S. Intelligence"

Connect the dots! Did you wonder why Woolsey took so long to reveal the Flynn Turkish Kidnap plot?

Could this be why?

First read this story published by Bloomberg on what looks like to be a huge money laundering operation by Trump protégé:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2016-11-13/obscure-casino-run-by-a-trump-protege-is-raising-big-questions

Now MUST READ this:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-30/fbi-agents-visit-office-of-saipan-casino-run-by-trump-protege

Finally...remember Steele dossier which stated his source said Trump and campaign were more worried about China than Russia ties?!?

Trump Tries Outreach to Moderate Democrats

"With health care stymied by GOP divides, the White House has quietly begun reaching across the aisle."

https://www.nationaljournal.com/s/649860?unlock=UC49MYE85UIOOAHT

snipped:
Rep. Henry Cuel­lar said White House staff reached out Monday to him and some in­di­vidu­al mem­bers of the Blue Dog Co­ali­tion and the New Demo­crat Co­ali­tion, two groups filled with mod­er­ate and con­ser­vat­ive Demo­crats, many of whom rep­res­ent swing dis­tricts and have repu­ta­tions for work­ing across the aisle.

They are not leakers, they are Whistleblowers

and I thank them for their patriotism.

Select committees, nonpartisan commissions, etc. will not be able to investigate the Trump/Putin conspiracy in a timely manner, assuming they would be thorough, transparent, (I'm skeptical...).

I believe these Whistleblowers are our biggest hope in eradicating the trump administration quickly, before more damage is done to our country.

I have called every Repub on the Senate Intelligence Committee 3 times since the inauguration to inform them that we are watching and to stop calling evidence "classified" based on political reasons only. They and the House committee have pretty much deep sixed their "investigations" since they were announced (repug majority duh).

I ask that we all use our social media to distinguish between whistleblowers vs. leakers. They are putting a lot on the line. I can only imagine the witchhunt to ferret them out is brutal.

"What's Lily White, Filthy Rich, and Has 14 Penises?"

Trump's Cabinet picks, by the numbers

Dave Gilson and Einat Gilboa
Mar/Apr 2017 Issue
Mother Jones

(Interesting data) i.e. total net worth of asshole's cabinet picks is $6.8 billion. This is LESS than the wealth of 126 million Americans combined.

Senator Burr (R) office just told me Bannon's seat on NSC is by invitation only, not a permanent

seat. Norris (Burr's aide) said tRump's E.O. was not a permanent appointment, but an invitation only. Therefore, he said Congress does not have to approve Bannon. I know I've seen media reports that Bannon's seat on the National Security Council is permanent. What is the truth?!
