#ReleaseTheMemo Hyperbole Reaches Fever Pitch
The Trumpalos are beside themselves as #ReleaseTheMemo approaches:
TRUMPALO 1: The things described in the Devin Nunes #ReleaseTheMemo are 10,000 times worse than Stalin’s purge!!
TRUMPALO 2: Oh yeah? I say the things described in the Devin Nunes #ReleaseTheMemo are eleventy bajillion times worse than the Holocaust!!!1!
Yes, the hyperbole is freely flowing as the excitement builds towards the #Release of #the all-important #Memo, which is a doubtless partisan and selective distillation of what was presented to a FISA court in the Russia investigation. Here’s Wikileaks confidante Sean Hannity, telling us that the things described in #TheMemo are worse than Watergate:

Hey, stealing a Snickers bar is serious business, Sean. Don’t minimize it.
Not to be outdone, here’s Sebastian Gorka, telling us that the things described in #TheMemo are worse (by an order of magnitude, natch!) than the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that led the 13 colonies to revolt:
Seb Gorka says the Nunes Memo is "100 times bigger" than the abuses of power by Great Britain which led to the American Revolution

As the vituperative exaggerations fly, like some political game of the dozens, I offer this advice: for God’s sake, whatever you do: don’t ask for a redacted version of the underlying documentation.
One-sided partisan attacks that hide the source material are bad when they appear in the #FAKENEWSMEDIA, but they’re A-OK here.
Plus, #ReleaseTheDocumentation is just a terrible hashtag.

If there is one most afwul thing about our media, it is their habit of speculating the death out of upcoming events, then mostly ignoring the actuality.
By the time this memo actually surfaces, so much will have been said, so may position hardened, such an incredible weight of speculation built up that the actual memo will be irrelevant to the discussion.

Yes, the documentation (minus only identification of covert assets) needs to be published and any redaction needs to such that the narrative isn’t destroyed.

narciso (d1f714) — 1/30/2018 @ 11:40 amAccording to the text of the Act that President Trump signed, by February 2018 the U.S. authorities must accomplish the following:
— Identify the circle of senior officials involved in foreign policy and oligarchs with close ties to the Russian authorities;
— Determine their relationship to Vladimir Putin and members of the Russian ruling elite;
— Determine whether those individuals are involved in corrupt actions;
— Estimate the amount of wealth and the sources of income of those individuals and their family members – spouses, children, parents, and brothers and sisters, including their assets, investments, and any other business interests and significant share holdings they have in any companies anywhere;
— Determine whether they have business relations and assets outside of Russia;
— Assess the potential impact imposing sanctions against these “oligarchs,” state-owned and partially state-owned companies would have on those entities themselves, and on the economies of Russia, the U.S., and U.S. allies.
— Determine the potential impact of imposing secondary sanctions against Russian oligarchs. (Secondary sanctions are especially odious because they carry force beyond U.S. territory. Anyone winding up on that “blacklist” would find themselves unable to obtain financing not only from U.S. banks, but also from European financial institutions.)

It’s time for the facts to be known – whatever they are and wherever they lead.

The only people who could have arranged a conspiracy were the people who chose the parade route.
And the most crucial person there was Governor Connally (see the footnote on page 25 of William Manchester’s The Death of a President.
Which doesn’t rule out a conpiracy but does rule out one that Governor Connally knew he was participating in – because he wouldn’t get in the same car with Kennedy in that case.)
I don’t think LBJ was part of any such thing either. Eugene Locke, not so much. And Oswald would have to have been a fallback plan, and not the original idea.

Oh, Adam Schiff.
He’s the person who said Hillary was right to lie about Benghazi. To be specific, he said that had Hillary Clinton told the truth about Benghazi that week, she would have been justly criticized:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-the-nation-transcripts-october-25-trump-christie-nunes-schiff/
Who do you believe? The intelligence agencies or what you know from your own people? Hillary knew taht theer had been no demonstration. What the CIA was saying was, of course, not the BEST INFORMATION but the MOST HIGHLY RATED information – which is not the same thing.
What Adam Schiff was talking about is mostly SOOPER SEKRIT intelligence. It was disinformation by the perpetrators of the attack in Benghazi (That very night, according to a New York Times reporter who was there, the terrorists at the scene were blaming the video, which nobody in Benghazi had even heard of.)
Something was, and probably still is, hugely wrong at the CIA. And some other places too.

Of course, it wasn’t Z “some Russians” who wanted to help Trump win the election, but probably Vladimir Putin but taht doesn’t create a corrupt bargain.
Sammy Finkelman (02a146) — 1/30/2018 @ 1:16 pmThe big quesiton is: If Putin wanted Truymp to win why did he feed all this anti-Trump disinformation to the Democrats:
The answer probably is, he had no idea that the people who were being leaked to were working for the Democratrs.

Between 2016 and 2020, the United States is expected to account for about half of the 20 billion cubic feet per day of new LNG export capacity worldwide. (Worldwide LNG demand is now around 37 billion cubic feet per day.) The Energy Information Administration expects that U.S. LNG exports will exceed 3 billion cubic feet per day in 2018 and over 12 billion cubic feet per day by 2035. (See graph below.) LNG exports are expected to support up to 452,000 new jobs and add $73 billion to the U.S. economy by 2040.[iii]

The reason to keep the underlying information to those with a need to know would be protect sources, methods and ongoing counter-intelligence activities. DOJ has been rightfully protective of FISA activities historically. You don’t arrest or expel every spy you know about, for example. The Nunes memo should tell US whether DOJ was engaged in a good faith attempt to catch real agents of a foreign power based on reasonable suspicion or something else entirely. There’s really not much of an in-between no matter how hard some partisans try to convince us of that. The other point to consider is that when this is over the nation needs a functioning intel/counter-intel system run by leaders we can have confidence in not one that we blew up in order to fight over election results.

Kurtz’s brand is much more subtle—and maybe just as effective in delegitimizing journalists breaking news about Trump.
He’s an aging former newspaperman who uses the style and language of an aging former newspaperman: Kurtz worked at The Washington Post for 29 years, much of it as a solid media reporter, and hosted the CNN program Reliable Sources for more than a decade.
But Media Madness reveals the extent to which he’s since transformed into a font of Fox News hackery. Kurtz fashions himself as a straight-shooting political outsider from the “non-trendy part of southern Brooklyn,” even though he went to Columbia and has worked in Washington for decades. He demands that Trump and his aides—whose incompetence and lies are off the charts in historic proportions—be covered with studious neutrality.

The stories he would share included Mr. Jackson basically asking him to procure women who had caught his eye… even provided vulgar “come-ons” to employ. My friend would agree and then later tell Jackson, sorry, he’d tried but struck out. He always enjoyed Reggie’s reaction.

Its reportedly a summary of the underlying source documents.
Since no one has seen it yet, and only the Dems are screaming that it’s politicized — when most of them haven’t read the memo and only Schiff has read the underlying documents — what’s the basis upon which to take the position that its a politicized memo?

I have written more than once about the (IMO) serious conflict of interest that Andrew McCabe had on the Hillary investigation.
But the fever swampers are all screaming that he should be carted off to jail.
Huh?
Can anyone who is not clinically insane please explain to me what the argument supporting that notion might be?
Patterico (115b1f) — 1/30/2018 @ 5:52 pmDo hope the topic of the U.S. Air Force blowing $25,000,000 for fridges on AF1 comes up. Somebody craves a whole lot of extra frozen strawberries on board.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 1/30/2018 @ 5:55 pmKnowing violation of the FISA statute is a crime.
As is knowing violation of Title III wiretap laws.
An illegally performed wiretap — one without a warrant — can result in the perpetrator going to jail.
So, until we have a clearer picture about what the “abuses” of the FISA process were, I don’t think its hyperbole that hold open the possibility that senior FBI and DOJ officials are open to potential criminal culpability.
Peter Strzok is also represented by a former federal prosecutor who now is a prominent white collar criminal defense attorney.
shipwreckedcrew (b6fb20) — 1/30/2018 @ 5:59 pmThe fridges won’t cost $25m. Compliance with the one of a kind Mil-Spec will. Nobody makes a doomsday fridge.
crazy (d99a88) — 1/30/2018 @ 6:01 pm@2245. Except they will, if not more – and where is the work contrcted to be done? Surprise: Oklahoma and San Antonio.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 1/30/2018 @ 6:03 pm243 — very good article a few days ago explaining the cost.
Its not like AF1 — and there are two AF1’s in existence at any given time, so the contract is actually for two sets of identical fridges — can buy the best and biggest SubZero that Home Depot carries.
The fridges on AF1, by Air Force and Secret Service specs, must be able to carry food to prepare up to 3000 meals without resupply. AF1 is designed to remain aloft for days at a time with aerial refueling support, if necessary, while 100+ passengers and crew might be on-board.
There are no “off the shelf” models for fridges that take up something like 2000 sq ft below the main cabin deck. So they must be designed and engineered before they can be custom built.
Hence the expense.

mg (2c9db1) — 1/30/2018 @ 6:07 pm@243. Explaining ain’t justifying.
Especially with new AF1s from Boeing in work. For $25,000,000, they can hit Walmart for a few Igloo coolers.
Carry fewer and eat less.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 1/30/2018 @ 6:11 pmEnd of story.

Honest services fraud, or bribery.
It’s the idea that the Clintons, through Virgnia Governor terry McAuliffe, bribed the FBI deputy director by encouraging and financing a race by his wife for the State Senate in Virginia.
Which may be true, but doesn’t make McCabe guilty of receiving a bribe. Case in point: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was not indicted in spite of someone pleading guilty to bribing him.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/26/nyregion/2-donors-plead-guilty-but-the-mayor-is-not-charged-why.html
And possibly there is also the suspicion on the part of the people saying McCabe belongs in jail that McCabe knowingly did something outright corrupt in exchange – they don’t know what, but they think he probably did. You know, something with the Clinton e-mail investigation, which was going on at the same time his wife was running for the State Senate in Virginia.
Washington Post, August 4, 2015:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi-looks-into-security-of-clintons-private-e-mail-setup/2015/08/04/2bdd85ec-3aae-11e5-8e98-115a3cf7d7ae_story.html?utm_term=.bfa59f1c02d7
Or maybe it was so that a RICO investigation shouldn’t be started with the information turned up in the emails.
Sammy Finkelman (02a146) — 1/31/2018 @ 10:52 amMcCabe actually did not become deputy director until after his wife lost the State Senate race. The question would be what was his repsonsibilities before.
Also, the Clintons may have had higher connections at DOJ and the FBI. So you could argue that the political race may only have been a test to determine if he was loyal to the Clintons, and was maybe a pre-condition for his promotion. Of course the people sayinbg he should be jailed aren’t thinkingh into it that deeply.
