Thank you Caldera for posting this and keeping everybody updated. Very interesting.

(Also interesting about the illegal alien “caravan” too)
 
@Cathoholic You’re welcome. 🙂
Catherine Herridge on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ demands to see the original document that prompted the Russia investigation.

Dershowitz & diGenova unload on Mueller & Rosenstein!

 
Should Trump’s lawyers allow him to be interviewed by Robert Mueller? ‘Life, Liberty & Levin’ host Mark Levin speaks out on ‘Hannity.’

 
Saturday, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said that if Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein does not turn over the unredacted documents requested by Congress related to FISA, FBI and more then impeachment could be in order.

“Rod Rosenstein can call Michael Horowitz, who has the documents, and say just give them to Congress. If he doesn’t do that … there is a growing consensus of holding them in contempt of Congress, but it’s not enough to stop there. We have to have someone willing to do the job. If the deputy attorney general is not willing to do it and not willing to allow us to have our Constitutional Oversight Authority supported, then we’ll find someone who can,” said Meadows on Fox News Channel’s “Justice.”

He added, “I think that if he does not turn over the documents, that there are a growing number of us on Capitol Hill who believe that someone else needs to do the job. And what happens there is, Constitutionally, we have some things that we can do.”

Meadows went on to explain that the documents already show that there was coordination with the Barack Obama White House and with the state department, adding that the Department of Justice and the FBI have been hiding such information from Congress for months.

“What I’m here to tell you is I’m fed up, I’ve had enough. My good friend Jim Jordan is fed up,” he stated. “We are going to not only demand answers. We are going to demand action.”

“If they don’t [provide the documents], how do you get rid of Rosenstein?” host Jeanine Pirro asked.

Meadows responded, “The first area is contempt of Congress. … One of the things we have in our toolbox is impeachment.”

From Oct. 2016 . . . .

President Obama lashed out at Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying that the Republican nominee’s insistence that the election was being rigged undermines the country’s democratic traditions and demonstrates that he is not fit for the White House. . . .
.
. . . But the president, clearly troubled by Trump’s claims of a fixed election, quickly decided not to hold back. He described Trump’s allegations as a threat to American democracy and to the “integrity and trust” of the country’s civic institutions. . . .
.
Obama dismissed Trump’s claims of election-fixing as baseless and impossible to carry out because balloting is overseen at the state level. In many swing states, such as Florida, a Republican governor oversees the process, Obama said.
.
. . . “There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part, because they are so decentralized,” Obama said. . . .

Again. There WAS SOME concern expressed by Washington and they often try to “play it both ways” on various issues.

This from Oct. 2016 (but focusing on the DNC issues) . . . .


.

By December of 2016 the “line” being fed to the public was morphing.

There are some exceptions to this admittedly (as I mentioned above), but it seems like by December 2016 we saw signaled, a change in well, not in “propaganda” but in the “national discussion”. At least in the “talking points” coming from the Obama administration (and the “echo chamber”, the mainstream media).

.

From Dec. 2016


.

WHY wasn’t the Obama adminitration WARNING the country of all this election “hacking”, or at least warning us in earnest, until AFTER the election and the Hillary loss?

And what about Obama dismissing Trump’s claims of election-fixing as “baseless and impossible to carry out”?

And what about that “allegations (of Election Hacking) as a threat to American democracy” and all that from Obama?

And WHY were the Obama administration people briefing Spicer, etc. in Oct. 2016, to GO TELL THE U.S. PEOPLE, that there is NO HACKING?

This all seems so strange in retrospect.

Well, I would agree with Spicer’s comments that they expected Clinton to win and didn’t want any speculation of foul play after the election–especially with Trump at the time raising concerns about the election being “rigged” with people voting illegally, etc. So the DHS asked the campaigns to tow the line and express publicly that everything was peachy with the voting, while Obama goes and warns all the election officials about Russian hackers?

Hmmm…

Honestly, the only thing I really care about at this point is the coming IG report which is due out any day now.
If Sara Carter’s sources in the DOJ is true (post #438), then IG Horowitz has already made criminal referrals, while the other investigation by John Huber has also been making recommendations… And if that is the case, Sessions better be willing to start up a second special counsel.

Why is a “special council” needed?

Why can’t (hasn’t) Sessions just carry out the investigation on his own?

As Trey Gowdy said:
“You need an independent arbiter, and the Department of Justice cannot investigate itself. Horowitz
can– Horowitz is a fair guy, but when there are two dozen witnesses that have left the department
or worked for another agency, someone else has to do it and I am reluctant to call for special
counsel, but I think it may be unavoidable in this fact pattern.”

Makes sense.

Thank you.
 
It sure would be neat if an independent counsel was appointed and his/her mandate included the actions of Mueller and his team.
