Report: Joy Reid’s NBC Colleagues ‘Fuming,’ ‘Embarrassed’ by Network Shrugging Off Scandal

The Garbage on Msnbc is starting to Stink

A new report quotes MSNBC staffers who are upset with the network’s casual dismissal of Joy Reid’s growing pile of controversial writings — that management won’t come clean about the “joke” claim that the blog was hacked, that more and more topics are becoming too awkward for Reid to discuss, and that the channel’s credibility is taking a big hit.

From The Daily Beast:

The network‘s failure to address that dubious hacking claim has irked many inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Several employees who spoke to The Daily Beast—on condition of anonymity so as not to jeopardize their employment—said they were largely unimpressed with the statements, noting that many questions remain conspicuously unanswered.

“Everyone in the building is laughing at the idea that it was a hacker,” one MSNBC staffer told The Daily Beast.

“It’s just a joke,” said another employee.

…

While Reid is well-liked and respected by colleagues, said one staffer, they are waiting for Reid and MSNBC management to demonstrate a sense of accountability for her inconvenient past writing beyond boilerplate apologies. “It’s very problematic,” said an MSNBC insider.

Particularly, many LGBT staffers at the network expressed feeling insulted by how Reid seemingly suffered no consequences for her old homophobic blog posts or transphobic tweets.

Obama DOJ failed to inform FISA Court of the informant, spy, whatever

Bill Clinton instructed us on the meaning of "is" and "alone" when he was credibly accused of sexual harassment.  Now the Obama boys, Brennan, Clapper, and Comey (sounds like a bad law firm) and their spokesmen in the Destroy Trump Media, instruct us on the meaning of "spy" and "informant" to explain why the Obama gang planted an Obama person in the Trump campaign to report to the Obama boys.  According to the Obama boys, the person planted in the Trump campaign to report the activities of the Trump campaign was not a spy, but an informant.

Clapper said:

For me, if you're going to use the term "spy," which I never have liked, but let's assume it's a valid term, to me that suggests using intelligence tradecraft, employing an operative who has been formally trained in clandestine collection, someone who's masking their identity or someone who is recruiting and this informant was none of that.   So to me the informant is the most benign form of intelligence collection that you can do.

And moreover, the important point here is what was the objective? The objective is what were the Russians attempting to do, if anything, to infiltrate and influence a political campaign? That was the objective, not to spy on the campaign, per se.

So because the informant, Stefan Halper, was not formally trained, used his real name, and did not recruit others – and because, most importantly, the informant was trying to find out what the Russians were doing – Halper is not a spy.  But if he were a spy, then it would be okay to spy, because the ends justify the means.  He is an informant who reports to the Obama boys what he sees and hears at the Trump campaign.

Aside from the absurdity of Clapper's drivel, the use of the informant raises the question of the relationship between the Obama DOJ's applications for the FISA warrants and the Obama FBI's use of an informant or spy in the Trump campaign.  Many applications for a warrant rely on information obtained from an informant who provides information based on events and conversations that he saw and heard.

Yet the reports about the FISA warrants show that the basis for the warrants was the Steele dossier, paid for by Hillary and the DNC.  Since we now know that the Obama gang used an informant, the absence of any information from Halper, or other informants, to justify the application for the FISA warrants means that the informant did not provide any credible information about Russian "collusion" to be included in the FISA applications.  If the informant had any information worth relaying, then you can bet that this information would have been leaked to the New York Times and other news outlets for Mueller's office – and been included in the FISA applications for the warrants.

Moreover, since the Obama DOJ knew that the informant did not provide any credible information about Russian "collusion," this should have been disclosed to the FISA court because the absence of credible information from an informant embedded in the Trump campaign contradicts the unreliable information in the Steele dossier. 

It does not matter if we label Halper a spy or an informant.  It is a distinction without a difference in this matter.  He was placed in the Trump campaign to report to the Obama FBI-DOJ any evidence of Russian "collusion."

Brennan, Clapper, and Comey are arguing whether Halper was a spy or informant to distract from the fact that Halper, and others, did not report any useful information.  More importantly, the Obama DOJ failed to disclose to the FISA court that it had an informant inside the Trump campaign who did not report any information to justify a warrant.  The absence of such information from the administration's informant  contradicts and weakens the reliability and credibility of the Steele dossier as a basis for the warrant.

Simply stated, the informant did not see or hear anything that supports the Russia "collusion" because there was no Russia collusion.  The Obama DOJ failed to inform the FISA court of this.

Dem Rep Cohen: I See Trump Using Pardon Power to Obstruct Justice, ‘the Resolution’ ‘Is Impeachment’

This Screwball Cohen forgot about Obama Pardoning hundreds of criminals and some in for murder. Nothing to see there?

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Wolf,” Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) stated he believes the pardon of author Dinesh D’Souza is sending a message to President Trump’s supporters about the Russia investigation and that if the pardon power is used to obstruct justice, “which is what I see happening, the resolution, according to the Federalist Papers, is impeachment, and it needs to be talked about.”

Anchor Wolf Blitzer asked, “Congressman, so what’s your reaction to the president’s decision to grant this full pardon to Dinesh D’Souza. Do you believe it’s aimed at sending a message to his supporters about the Russia investigation?”

Cohen answered, “I think there’s no question it is, and same thing for the talk about Blagojevich and Martha Stewart. I was talking — just kind of random talk with one of my colleagues a week and a half ago, and something came up about a pardon, and he said to me — he said, ‘We’re going to show you what pardons are all about real soon.’ And this is a fellow who talks to the president on a regular basis. And I don’t know if he necessarily knew what he was talking about, but I suspect he did, and what he was saying was basically, we’re going to have like a Saturday Night Massacre, where there’s going to be several pardons in one day. And I think Manafort knows it. I think Michael Cohen knows it. I think others know it. I think Robert Mueller probably knows it. And it has the potential to be an obstruction of justice case.”

He continued, “You can — the president has total authority to issue pardons pursuant to the Constitution. It’s an unlimited power. But if you abuse the power, and there can be an abuse of the power, and the Federalist Papers talked about it, the remedy for that is impeachment. Some people say you shouldn’t talk about impeachment, but you have to talk about impeachment when the Constitution has been impugned. And if the pardon power is what is being used to obstruct the — justice in this case, which is what I see happening, the resolution, according to the Federalist Papers, is impeachment, and it needs to be talked about.”

Cohen added, “[I]mpeachment can be on — it’s high crimes and misdemeanors, not defined, but it can be what the Congress could construe to be abusing that power to where it is malevolent, to where it causes the public to have less confidence in their judicial officials, which is what we saw in the Arpaio case, where Arpaio thumbed his nose to the judiciary and Trump said, ‘Fine.’ This D’Souza guy thumbs his nose to the election laws and he says, ‘Fine.’ Martha Stewart thumbs her nose to the — to insider trading and he says, ‘Fine.’ And Blagojevich was trying to sell a Senate seat. So, he’s basically saying all these people who have acted to really put seeds of doubt in the public’s mind about institutions and about fairness are going to be freed because he thinks it’s OK.”

U.S. Economy Adds 223,000 Jobs In May

Check out the great numbers then the links below show how the Democrats Progressives Socialist Anti American Asswipes are spinning it to a bad thing. It must be the Plague Trump derangement Syndrome again

The U.S. added 223,000 jobs in May and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.8 percent, according to Labor Department figurespublished on Friday.

Economists forecasted 190,000 additional nonfarm payrolls, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 3.9 percent.

Manufacturing performed strongly, adding 18,000 jobs. Construction grew by 25,000 new positions. The Mining sector expanded by 6,000. Service providers added 171,000 jobs, with an increase in retail of 31,100.

Average hourly earnings for workers on private nonfarm payrolls climbed by 8 cents to $26.92.

White unemployment is 3.5 percent, while Hispanic unemployment is 4.9 percent. Black unemployment is 5.9 percent — a new record low down from 6.6 percent the previous month — while Asian unemployment came in at 2.9 percent.

“Average hourly earnings increased 2.7 percent from a year earlier, more than projected, while the jobless rate fell to 3.8 percent from 3.9 percent to match April 2000 as the lowest since 1969,” Bloomberg reports.

The solid hiring data coincides with other evidence that the economy is on firm footing after a brief slowdown in the first three months of the year. The economy grew at a modest 2.2 percent annual rate in the January-March quarter, after three quarters that had averaged roughly 3 percent annually.

Companies are spending more on industrial machinery, computers and software — signs that they’re optimistic enough about future growth to expand their capacity. A measure of business investment rose in the first quarter by the most in 3½ years. That investment growth has been spurred partly by higher oil prices, which have encouraged the construction of more drilling rigs.

Manufacturers have benefited from the healthier business spending and have increased hiring. In April, factories expanded production of turbines and other heavy machinery by the most in seven months.

Macroeconomic Advisers, a forecasting firm, says it now foresees the economy expanding at a robust 4 percent annual pace in the April-June quarter, which would be the fastest in nearly four years. That is up from its forecast last week of less than a 3 percent rate for the current quarter.

Retired FBI Special Agent: Why is the DNC Resisting to Surrender Its Compromised Servers For Forensic Examination?

On Thursday, retired FBI agent James Gagliano asked why the DNC is resisting to surrender its compromised servers if they were truly the victim of a hack.

Gagliano also said it’s unheard of for the US Govt to take the word of a “private forensics company” [Crowdstrike] at trial.

The retired FBI agent also asked why isn’t the FBI rigorously investigating the Clinton camp’s Ukrainian collusion/connections?

Round one: What is difficult to reconcile. If played straight, why didn’t: 1) FBI/DOJ compel DNC to turn over compromised server? 2) Investigate, as rigorously, Clinton campaign’s Ukraine connections? 3) If Trump campaign’s “peripherals” compromised, not Trump, why not read-in Sr Ldrs?

What is difficult to reconcile.

If played straight, why didn’t:

1) FBI/DOJ compel DNC to turn over compromised server?

2) Investigate, as rigorously, Clinton campaign’s Ukraine connections?

3) If Trump campaign’s “peripherals” compromised, not Trump, why not read-in Sr Ldrs?

Round two: Why the resistance to surrender the servers for forensic examination?

Confirmed, by DHS/DNI, successful phishing attack by Russia, hostile state actor, on DNC (also John Podesta’s email account) — so how are those materials not central pieces of national security investigation, & why would there be resistance to surrender for forensic examination?

— James A. Gagliano (@JamesAGagliano) May 31, 2018

Gagliano then asked, “When was last time you ever heard of the USG taking the word of a “private forensics company” at trial? Or in this instance, in a matter of senstive NatSec implications? Have no problem w/outside entity doing their own forensics harvesting. But not allowing FBI to review? Um, ok.”

Former White House spox Ari Fleischer reacted to James Gagliano:

This from a retired FBI special agent. https://t.co/HdYSNxgmTJ

— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) May 31, 2018

Your periodic reminder that the DNC refused to turn over its “hacked” servers to the FBI. Yes, the entire “Trump-Russia” timeline relies on primary attribution analysis (which even Crowdstrike admits is shoddy) from a 3rd party contractor, not the US govt.https://t.co/9dDwMpHOKP

— Jordan Schachtel (@JordanSchachtel) May 31, 2018

The answer is we have NEVER seen anything like this. The government sill has not done a forensic inspection of the crime scene [DNC servers] yet the taxpayers have forked out millions of dollars to pay for a special counsel to ‘investigate.’

A special counsel was appointed to investigate ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ without naming a crime.

We still don’t even have proof the DNC servers were hacked, and if hacked, by whom?

Mueller Team Has Spent More Than $7.7 Million On Russia Probe In A Year

The office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent more than $4.5 million on the Russia investigation from October 2017 to March 2018, bringing the total spending to more than $7.7 million.

The entire Justice Department incurred almost another $1 million for supporting the Russia investigation in the latest report, spending a total of $5.4 million on the Russia investigation From October 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018. The Special Counsel’s Office expense report states the DOJ’s spending amount “would have incurred for the investigations irrespective of the existence of the SCO.”

A majority of the latest expenses from the Special Counsel’s Office went to “personnel compensation and benefits” — more than $2.7 million.

Mueller’s office also spent millions on a combination of travel, transportation, rent, contracts and supplies, plus more than $200,000 on IT services.

It spent more over the last six months than it did during the first four months of its investigation, which accounted for around $3.2 million.

The Special Counsel’s Office has spent more than $7.7 million since May 2017, and the DOJ has spent more than $12 million on the Russia investigation.
