Love me, love my Putin

It would be a paradise for Trump, if only one half of the country could be silenced. One half of the country insists on truth, justice, and the Constitution.

"I don't give a goddamn," (George W.) Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Trump speech to his Trump trolls-

They're (the media outlets that insist on reporting the truth) very smart, they're very cunning and they're very dishonest.

So just to conclude, I mean, it's a very sensitive topic and they get upset when we expose their false stories. They say that we can't criticize their dishonest coverage because of the First Amendment, you know, they always bring up the First Amendment.

(LAUGHTER)

And I love the First Amendment; nobody loves it better than me. Nobody.

Jeff Sessions is a lawyer. He is the nation's top law enforcement officer. He has been a state attorney general and United States attorney, too.

All of which makes his now-contradicted denials of contact with the Russians completely inexplicable. How could a man who is supposed to be so studied at the law take the stand ... under oath ... at a confirmation hearing ... and not be precise with his words?

Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., asked Sessions: "If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?"

That was the question that elicited the denial that now haunts Sessions. And in response, he issued a blanket statement — with no qualifier that he was referring only to campaign business, as Sessions' denials today suggest.

"Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities," Sessions said. "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."

A journalist who was killed for standing up to Putin

Politkovskaya repeatedly received death threats as a result of her reporting. She was threatened with rape and was subjected to a mock execution after being arrested by the Russian military.


2004, while traveling to the North Ossetian town of Beslan in the hope of trying to mediate the school hostage crisis, she was poisoned - and nearly died.After the Beslan poisoning, Politkovskaya wrote, "We are hurtling back into a Soviet abyss, into an information vacuum that spells death from our own ignorance.

When she interviewed Kadyrov in 2004, he angrily said, "You have come between Chechens. You are an enemy." Being called an enemy of Kadyrov was the equivalent of a death sentence, but she didn't back down. On Oct. 5, 2006, she gave an interview to Radio Liberty in which she said that Kadyrov was a "coward armed to the teeth" and the "Stalin of our days."

The article she was working on at the time - which turned out to be her last investigative report - documented the torture and killing of two people by a law-enforcement body controlled by Kadyrov.

Politkovskaya was murdered two days later in a contract-style killing. It was Oct. 7, which just happened to be Putin's 54th birthday.

President Donald Trump swiftly moved to fire acting attorney general Sally Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration, after she refused to defend the president's controversial immigration executive order.

During Sessions' confirmation vote Tuesday morning, several Democratic senators, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), pointed to the 2015 video clip to underscore the hypocrisy exemplified by Trump's decision to fire her. Both Feinstein and Leahy voted against Sessions' nomination, arguing they have no confidence the Alabama senator will follow his own advice and stand up to Trump.

http://sfist.com/2017/01/31/feinstein_to_vote_no_on_sessions_fo.php

Saying that an attorney general needed to enforce the nation's laws regardless of the will of the White House, per NBC News, Feinstein said, "I have no confidence that Sen. Sessions will do that. Instead, he has been the fiercest, the most dedicated, the most loyal [supporter] of the Trump agenda."

Also, as the Associated Press quotes her as saying, Feinstein said she couldn't reconcile the independence required of the job "with the partisanship this nominee has exhibited."



Why did Jeff Sessions choose not to tell the whole truth during his confirmation hearings? He took the bullet, in order to further the goals of the Trumpenreich ?He fulfilled his mission,he served his purpose.

Of what use, is he to the Trumpenreich, now that he has destroyed his reputationas a "straight shooter."

For the record


Starting this week, we add a home page feature called “Fact Checking Capitol Hill Blue.” In that section, readers can post questions about our stories and our sources and I will answer each and every question.

Some have suggested I should have shut this web site down after the George Harleigh debacle. I thought about it but decided that there’s still a lot of news out there that needs to be covered.

So we soldier on as the oldest continually published political news web site on the ‘Net and one of the few that is non-partisan.

One other thing. That step about making amends means I must apologize to those I have wronged. I have written letters to three people who I feel were the subjects of inaccurate reporting on this web site and either removed or modified the stories that contained the information:

Former President George W. Bush

Conversations with Kislyak have ensnared two Trump appointees—former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Attorney General Jeff Sessions—in scandal.


So, who is Kislyak anyway?

For the last nine years, Sergey Kislyak has served as Russia's ambassador to the United States, an unusually long stint, according to CNN. Before becoming an ambassador, he served as Russia's deputy minister of foreign affairs, where he helped negotiate international arms control agreements. Kislyak reportedly first joined the Soviet Foreign Ministry in 1977 after graduating from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute.


According to CNN, Kislyak has been described by current and former US intelligence officials as a top spy and spy recruiter. A Russian government spokesperson dismissed the allegations, describing them as "depersonalized assumptions of the media that are constantly trying to blow this situation out of proportion."


After meetings with a handful of Russian officials in 2007, including Kislyak, an Israeli official came away with the view that "Russia hates the U.S., wants to become an empire again, and feels empowered because of its oil." The Israeli reported that the Russians he met with "see cooperation with the U.S. as endangering their own strategic interests."

How nice for the Orange Enitiy that would be Emperor!

The F.B.I. waited until after Emperor Carrot gathered praise for his fabulous, "great" speech, before they captured the jerk that frightened Jewish commuities all over the USA.

Putin should be mightily pleased with his pet president. The Emperor spouted a vague insinuaion about someone using the Jewish community to make the Creamsickle Campaigner look bad

SERGEY KISLYAK, THE ZELIG OF TRUMPWORLD, STRIKES AGAIN
As the media rushes to connect the dots between the Trump campaign and Moscow, the longtime Russian ambassador is omnipresent.

Sergey Kislyak has arguably become the most prominent ambassador in Washington.
By Mario Tama/Getty.

Donald Trump earned only the briefest of reprieves in the wake of his well-reviewed address to Congress before the full weight of the Russia scandal looming over his administration, which aides had spent weeks holding back, came crashing down on him once again. At the center of the latest intrigue was a familiar name: Sergey Kislyak.

Over the past year, the Russian ambassador to the United States has emerged as one of the most interesting, and well-connected, people in Washington. It was Michael Flynn’s undisclosed calls with Kislyak that ultimately led to the former national security adviser’s resignation last month. On Wednesday, Kislyak was again thrust into the spotlight when The Washington Post reported that he had met with Attorney General Jeff Sessions twice in the months just before the presidential election, including a private meeting in the then senator’s office, neither of which Sessions saw fit to mention to Congress during his confirmation hearing.

Friday morning, the situation took a bizarre turn when the FBI arrested a jilted ex-lover for making at least eight of those threats as part of an elaborate and vicious scheme to vilify a woman he had previously dated.

NBC News reported that officials believe Thompson is not responsible for all of the threats. Instead, he is considered a copycat.


The FBI declined to comment on Thompson's past, but numerous media outlets are saying he is the same Juan Thompson who was fired from The Intercept after making up sources and fabricating quotes.

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a53579/juan-thompson-jcc-threats/


Thompson targeted Jewish groups in Manhattan, Dallas, San Diego and Farmington Hills, Mich.

Two of the threats targeted the ADL offices in Manhattan, officials said. The non-profit group, which combats anti-Semitism, reports at least 90 bomb threats to Jewish institutions in 12 states since the beginning of 2017.


http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat...n_thompson_arrested_for_some_jcc_threats.html


The first nationwide wave of threats against Jewish centers took place on Jan. 9 of this year. Thompson's first threat is alleged to have been made on Jan. 28, and NBC reports that authorities believe he was a "copycat" who is not solely responsible for the threats nationwide. The complaint describes a total of eight threats against seven locations; more than 100 anti-Semitic threats have been made in total in the United States since the beginning of the year. Thompson is also not accused of involvement in the vandalism of a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis, which was discovered Feb. 20, nor in the vandalism of a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia on Saturday.
