DEEP STATE COLLUSION: After Election, Obama, Biden Briefed on Private Trump Meeting Before Comey Fed Details to FBI Russia Hoax Team

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A key revelation in the report released last week by the Justice Department’s inspector general raises questions about the roles played by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice and other senior members of the Obama administration in disgraced former FBI Director James Comey’s infamous classified briefing to then President-elect Donald Trump about “salacious” material inside the anti-Trump dossier.

As Breitbart News reported, the IG report relates that prior to the briefing, FBI members on Comey’s team discussed the need to memorialize the exchanges between Comey and Trump during the private January 6, 2017 briefing in Trump Tower just in case Trump made statements relevant to the agency’s controversial Russia probe. In other words, they plotted to stealthily use statements Trump said to Comey in a private briefing to inform their Russia collusion investigation.

The IG further relates that Comey went on to do just that. He had a laptop waiting for him in the car, where he immediately began memorializing his private talk with Trump. He also immediately provided a “quick download” of the Trump briefing to members of “Crossfire Hurricane” – the FBI’s compartmentalized Russia collusion team — via a secured video conference.

The revelation that Comey immediately fed the details of his private meeting with Trump to the FBI team investigation unsubstantiated Russia collusion raises questions about what Obama, Biden, Rice and other Obama-era officials knew about the intent to use the planned briefing to fuel the questionable Russia investigation and surreptitiously pass the contents of the private talk to the FBI.

In his book, A Higher Loyalty, Comey writes that he told Obama, Biden and Rice about his plans to have the private briefing with Trump. He did this on January 5, 2017 in a White House briefing with Obama one day before he met Trump and underhandedly sent the details of their one-on-one to the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” team handling the Russia collusion claims.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Earlier today Walmart CEO Doug McMillon officially announced a number of firearms and ammunition will no longer be sold at stores nationwide. The statement was quite incoherent, but here it is. . .

Just last month an armed citizen became a hero after stopping a mass shooting at a Walmart in Missouri. . .

Last year, an armed citizen stopped a shooting spree in Washington state.

McMillon’s decision makes Walmart customers and employees less safe. (Read more from “Did Walmart’s CEO Forget About These Armed Heroes Who Stopped Massacres at His Stores?” HERE)

Armed Man Arrested at Missouri Walmart; Stopped by Citizen with a Gun

By NBC 25 News. Police in Springfield, Missouri, said they arrested a man who showed up Thursday at a Walmart store carrying a rifle and wearing body armor, terrifying shoppers who fled from the store. . .

Lucas said an off-duty firefighter held the suspect — a 20-year-old man who was not immediately identified — at gunpoint until police arrived about three minutes after receiving an initial call.

“Thankfully, there weren’t any shots fired. I think it’s great that that off-duty fire man was here,” Lucas said. (Read more from “Armed Man Arrested at Missouri Walmart; Stopped by Citizen with a Gun” HERE)

Armed Civilian Kills Gunman, Stops Shooting Spree at Walmart in Washington State

By The Washington Post. A gunman who opened fire inside a Walmart in Washington state and injured at least two people during carjacking attempts was fatally shot by one of two armed civilians on Sunday evening, according to police.

The Thurston County coroner identified the dead suspect as Tim O. Day, 44, though police said they were still piecing together the full story of what happened at the Tumwater, Wash. Walmart. . .

There he attempted to carjack another vehicle, shooting an occupant in it at least twice. Apparently frustrated in his effort, the gunman then attempted a second carjacking.

At that point, Wohl said, two armed civilians in the parking lot confronted the suspect, one of whom fatally shot the man. (Read more from “Armed Civilian Kills Gunman, Stops Shooting Spree at Walmart in Washington State” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Kate Scottow, who was arrested in front of her two young children for referring to a trans woman as a man has been charged with malicious communications.

Authorities arrested Scottow, 38, at her home in December after she misgendered trans activist Stephanie Hayden on Twitter. She was detained for more than seven hours before being questioned, according to previous reporting. . .

After her initial arrest, Scottow took to the Mumsnet online forum to air her grievances.

“I was arrested in my home by three officers, with my autistic ten-year-old daughter and breastfed 20-month-old son present,” Scottow wrote. “I was then detained for seven hours in a cell with no sanitary products (which I said I needed) before being interviewed then later released under investigation … I was arrested for harassment and malicious communications because I called someone out and misgendered them on Twitter.”

She had her photograph, DNA, and fingerprints taken during the incident, and a court banned her from referring to Hayden as a man. (Read more from “Mom Who Was Arrested in Front of Kids After Calling Transgender Activist the ‘Wrong’ Gender Is Charged” HERE)

Here’s Why the Media Won’t Talk About How the TX Shooter Obtained His Gun

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Seth Aaron Ator committed a brutal crime in Odessa, Texas. He went on a shooting rampage, killing seven and wounded over twenty more. He was killed by police. It’s another mass shooting. Another time for the anti-gun Left to fundraise off the dead. Another cycle of the liberal media taking swipes at the National Rifle Association, Republicans, gun owners, supporters of the Constitution, and rural Americans. Ator had called authorities minutes before he committed this crime. The FBI was called. The shooting began when a police officer tried to pull him over for a traffic violation, Ator forgot to signal while changing lanes, which prompted him to open fire at the officer. He later opened fire on passing cars and hijacked a mail truck, but not before killing a postal worker, according to the Associated Press. Ator has had run-ins with the law. . .

Texas Shooter Got Gun at Private Sale; Denied in 2014 Check

By AP. The gunman in a West Texas rampage that left seven dead obtained his AR-style rifle through a private sale, allowing him to evade a federal background check that blocked him from getting a gun in 2014 due to a “mental health issue,” a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The official spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. The person did not say when and where the private sale took place. . .

Private sales, which some estimates suggest account for 25 to 40 percent of all gun sales, are not subject to a federal background check in the United States. If the person selling the firearm knows the buyer cannot legally purchase or possess a firearm, they would be violating the law. But they are not required to find out if the person can possess a firearm and are not required to conduct a background check.

Millionaire Thought to Have Key Info on Epstein Vanishes ‘Without a Trace’: Detective: Epstein’s Crimes May Have Gone Deeper Than We Thought

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. The founder of a modeling agency, believed by authorities to possess key information about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has now gone missing as law enforcement officials desperately search for his whereabouts.

“Jean-Luc Brunel, 72, has vanished as police seek to ask the Frenchman ‘urgent’ questions about the pedophile,” the Daily Mail reported. “Investigators are making inquiries in Brazil [and] the U.S., and European and French prosecutors are also pursuing claims relating to the financier, who died aged 66 before he could face the latest allegations.”

A reported source in Paris told the Daily Mirror that Brunel “is a ghost who has disappeared without a trace.”

“The agency boss was searching for new talent in Brazil until the start of this summer,” the Daily Mail added. “This month, French prosecutors have started a preliminary inquiry into whether Epstein sexually abused minors from France. They say Brunel is ‘uncontactable’ because he has no address, internet accounts or social media.”

Early last month, the focus shifted from Epstein, who allegedly committed suicide in prison, to British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been accused of helping arrange Epstein with underage girls.

Detective Mark Fuhrman: Epstein’s Crimes May Have Gone Deeper Than We Thought

By Fox News. In Fox Nation’s popular documentary ‘The Fuhram Diaries’, Former LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman dives deep into the controversial life and death of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, offering many unknown facts about the financier’s personal life and his high profile death that left a slew of unanswered questions.

Beginning with Epstein’s early life, Furhman takes viewers through Epstein’s upbringing, his rocky educational path, and his early career — painting a picture of scandal and conspiracy that haunted the convicted sex offender and followed him to his death. . .

Epstein’s sudden rise to the top was seemingly suspicious, according to Fuhrman, and he questioned whether Epstein was promoted because he was “procuring sexual dates” for the financial world.

“I’m going to call it bull**** on this,” said Fuhrman. It’s too much — it’s over the top. You look at these positions on Wall Street, they’re coveted, they recruit from the best schools to get into these places, and here he was…a limited partner of the firm,” he explained.

“My question is, was his sexual activity going on there,” Fuhrman continued. “Did it start there? Was that his hook? Because there is no evidence that he was some kind of brilliant financial genius…and I believe his sexual crimes go all the way back to the ’70s,” he said.

Alyssa Milano Complains About Second Amendment Rights: ‘Which Passage of the Bible’ Says It’s a ‘God-Given Right to Own a Gun?’ Ted Cruz Demolishes Her Argument.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a pointed tweet, [Alyssa] Milano wrote, “Can someone cite which passage of the Bible God states it is a god-given right to own a gun? This guy is unbelievable and is clearly owned by the gun lobby.”

She was responding to a tweet from Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Texas), who promised that he would not allow the mass killer’s acts put a damper on the Second Amendment rights of Texans. . .

[Ted Cruz] wrote, “An excellent Q, worth considering carefully w/o the snark of Twitter. It is of course not the right to a modern-day firearm that is God-give [sic] but rather the right to Life & the right to Liberty. Essential to that right to life is the right to DEFEND your life & your family.”

The Texas lawmaker continued, “The right to self-defense is recognized repeatedly in the Bible, eg Exodus 22:2: ‘If a thief is caught breaking in at night & is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed.’ (Note, though, verse 3 says it IS murder if during daylight (ie, not self-defense).” . . .

“The Declaration of Independence acknowledges our rights thusly: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,'” he quoted. “And, for that reason, the Second Amendment provides ‘the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT be infringed.’ It wasn’t to protect people’s ability to hunt, or to shoot target practice, but to defend their lives, their homes & their families.” (Read more from “Alyssa Milano Complains About Second Amendment Rights: ‘Which Passage of the Bible’ Says It’s a ‘God-Given Right to Own a Gun?’ Ted Cruz Demolishes Her Argument.” HERE)

Police Video from Epstein Mansion Shows Massage Tables Allegedly Used for Sex Acts with Minors; Footage Reveals Pedophile’s Disgustingly Explicit Taste in Art (VIDEOS)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Video of a 2005 police raid of Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion shows the massage tables officials say the convicted sex offender used in his twisted trysts with minors.

The video shows at least two massage tables, one on each floor of the home, as well as what appear to be two more tables in the pool house. The video also showed the house was partially decorated with illicit photos and imagery of young women, Fox News reported Thursday.

A green massage table was found on the second floor, leaning against a wall under framed photos of Epstein, who was accused of molesting dozens of girls at the mansion.

According to the affidavit and application for a search warrant, in March 2005 a 14-year-old girl told a detective that a woman who worked for Epstein brought her to his Palm Beach home in February and told her to come upstairs. . .

“According to the victim, the woman led her to a room that had a massage table in it,” court documents said, adding the woman took lotions out, then left. (Read more from “Police Video from Epstein Mansion Shows Massage Tables Allegedly Used for Sex Acts with Minors” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein’s eccentric, explicit taste in art seen in Palm Beach mansion raid video

By Fox News. Video obtained by Fox News, taken during a 2005 police raid of Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, shows the convicted sex offender’s eccentric and explicit taste in art, which was displayed throughout the house.

The art included paintings, sculptures, photographs, sketches and posters.

The nearly hour-long video also showed the house was decorated in part with illicit photos and imagery of young women, Fox News reported Thursday.

Inside the home, the video showed a wall covered in artsy nude photos of men and women, a painting of a nude woman lying on her back and a photo of a topless woman – who appeared to be Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell – lying on a sandy beach. Another photo showed a naked young woman lying on a beach. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein’s eccentric, explicit taste in art seen in Palm Beach mansion raid video” HERE)

Former Marine Had Firearms Seized Under ‘Red Flag’ Law over Anti-Antifa Comments

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Shane Kohfield, a Trump supporting former Marine, had his firearms confiscated by law enforcement last month under Oregon’s new “red flag” law.

The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task took “extraordinary steps” against Kohfield last month after he threatened to “slaughter” Antifa in self-defense during a demonstration outside Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler’s house, the Oregonian reported.

“If Antifa gets to the point where they start killing us, I’m going to kill them next,” Kohfield reportedly said. “I’d slaughter them and I have a detailed plan on how I would wipe out Antifa.”

FBI agents reportedly responded within days, forcing Kohfield to temporarily surrender his firearms — which included an AR-15, handgun, rifle, and shotgun — to authorities. He was also committed to a veteran’s hospital for psychiatric observation. . .

Oregon’s red flag law allows a judge to issue an “extreme risk protection order” against individuals who law enforcement or family members believe is potentially violent to themselves or others. The “protective order” lasts one year, but can be renewed indefinitely. (Read more from “Former Marine Had Firearms Seized Under ‘Red Flag’ Law over Anti-Antifa Comments” HERE)

Former Marine Said He’d ‘Slaughter’ Antifa. the FBI, Using Oregon’s New Red Flag Law, Took His Guns Away

By The Oregonian. . .Kohfield, who spoke with The Oregonian/OregonLive, suffers from bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, medical records show.

He returned home Tuesday from the VA hospital and maintains he never planned to hurt or maim other people. But he understands why he alarmed police.

“I looked unhinged. I looked dangerous and have the training to be dangerous,” said Kohfield, who lives with his father in Canby and receives disability payments for physical and psychological injuries he sustained during two tours of duty in Iraq. . .

“I figured that the key to de-escalating the situation was to not be the most violent person in the room,” he said. “It was to be the scariest person in the room.” (Read more from “Former Marine Said He’d ‘Slaughter’ Antifa. the FBI, Using Oregon’s New Red Flag Law, Took His Guns Away” HERE)

Top Trump Aide Says THIS Candidate Poses Biggest 2020 Threat; Women Voters Spell Trouble for Trump in 2020

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., was the scariest would-be opponent for President Trump’s reelection bid, one of the president’s top campaign officials has reportedly said.

“The one who scares me the most in the general is Kamala Harris,” the official said. Described by The Washington Times as a “key player” in Trump’s campaign, the official said Harris was the “least flawed” Democratic hopeful in the crowded field of presidential aspirants,

“The top candidates are all flawed candidates, but the least flawed is Kamala Harris,” the official reportedly said. . .

August polling has shown Harris trailing at least a few other candidates, including Biden, but she has consistently ranked among the top contenders and was floated as a potential choice for vice president.

She’s also shown that she’s willing to call the former vice president out in her race to the top. The former prosecutor saw a bump in the polls after she made Biden’s controversial comments about race personal at the first Democratic primary debate.

Women Voters Spell Trouble for Trump in 2020

By The Hill. Polls show President Trump losing women voters by huge margins, presenting his reelection campaign with a massive hurdle to overcome as he seeks a second term in office.

Perhaps most alarmingly for Trump, the president is losing support from the white women who were pivotal to his electoral success in 2016.

Exit polls and post-election studies found Trump outperforming Democrat Hillary Clinton among white women in 2016, a statistic that the president cites on the campaign trail to combat the notion that he’s struggling with a widening gender gap in support.

But recent polling indicates that the same white female voters who propelled Trump to victory in 2016 might send him to defeat in 2020 if current trends hold.

A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday found Trump trailing the top five Democratic contenders by between 9 points and 16 points overall, with each leading the president by 23 points or more among all women. (Read more from “Women Voters Spell Trouble for Trump in 2020” HERE)

‘She Was a Spy from Day One’: Trump Assistant out After Discussing President’s Family with Press

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Madeleine Westerhout, President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, who has been described as a gatekeeper to the president, resigned on Thursday after leaking to the press earlier this month. Several White House officials had long suspected her of disloyalty to the president. A former staffer for the Republican National Committee and Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, she had reportedly cried when it became clear Trump had won in 2016.

“She was a spy from day one who sought to use her proximity to the president to curry favor with his detractors,” a former White House official told CBS News.

Westerhout’s resignation came after Trump learned on Thursday that she had “indiscreetly shared details about his family and the Oval Office operations she was part of during a recent off-the-record dinner with reporters staying at hotels near Bedminster, N.J., during the president’s working vacation,” The New York Times reported. . .

According to CBS News, the New Jersey dinner was not the first time Trump’s personal assistant had gossiped with reporters present. At a farewell event for former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, she bragged about her gatekeeper status.

In September 2018, veteran journalist Bob Woodward complained in an interview with Trump that his request to speak with the president had not been passed on by more prominent aides like Kellyanne Conway. Trump said he should have contacted Westerhout. “Madeleine is the key. She’s the secret,” the president said. He has also reportedly referred to her as “my beauty.” (Read more from “‘She Was a Spy from Day One’: Trump Assistant out After Discussing President’s Family with Press” HERE)
