BOMBSHELL: Attorney General Loretta Lynch Pressured Comey To Help Clinton Campaign – “That Gave Me A Queasy Feeling”

During his testimony before the Senate committee investigating Russian interference, former FBI Director James Comey said that Loretta Lynch pressured him to use the Clinton Campaign’s language in order to manage the optics of the FBI’s active investigation into Clinton’s email server.

Instead of using the phrase “investigation,” Lynch asked Comey to instead say that the FBI had opened a “matter.”

It concerned me, because we were at the point where we had refused to confirm the existence of an investigation, for months. And it was getting to a place where that looked silly, because the campaigns were talking about interacting with the FBI.

The Clinton campaign at the time was using all kinds of euphemisms; security review, matters, things like that – for what was going on.

Was she [Lynch] gonna to authorize us to confirm that we had an investigation? And she said “Yes, but don’t call it that. Call it a ‘matter.’ And again, you look back in hindsight – you think, ‘should I have resisted harder? I just said, ‘alright, this isn’t a hill worth dying on.'”

It gave me a queasy feeling.

So the sitting Attorney General of the Untied States instructed the head of the FBI to use specific language that would help a candidate running for president.

The FBI director was uncomfortable with this because the language differed from FBI nomenclature, and perhaps because it could be considered influencing the election – yet Comey decided it ‘wasn’t a hill worth dying on.’

One wonders if Comey’s recommendation not to prosecute in the Clinton email investigation last July also not a hill worth dying on?

NBC Cuts Out Putin Joke That Megyn Kelly Should Be Arrested For Her Russian Ties

After NBC’s Megyn Kelly sat down with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an interview which Oliver Stone said sucked, NBC cut out a joke made by Putin in response to a question about his relationship with former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn – who Putin was pictured with at a state dinner.

Quite frankly, the entire interview was a disaster – with Putin basically destroying Kelly on every question.  (Full interview below)

The joke

When asked “What is your relationship with Mr. Flynn?” Putin responded with:

With you, with you personally, I have a much closer relationship than with Mr. Flynn. We met yesterday evening. Today we worked all day together, we are meeting again right now.

Putin then joked that because of how much closer Megyn was to him than Mike Flynn, by American standards she should be punished:

Flynn was fired from work. You need to be simply arrested and put in jail!

That was apparently too spicy for NBC…

See here:

Now see the NBC version which cuts out Putin’s joke

Qatar Military On HIGHEST State Of Alert Over Imminent Regime Change

According to CNN – so maybe not, Qatar has placed it’s military “on the highest state of alert” over fears of a military incursion – following yesterday’s ultimatum by Saudi Arabia to sever all ties with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

16 leopard tanks have reportedly been brought out of storage in Qatar’s capital city Doha [which doesn’t seem like a ton of firepower], while the Qatari Minstry of Defense shot off a letter to the Saudis, UAE, and Bahraini governments, warning them that any ships entering Qatari waters would be fired upon.

To try and diffuse the situation President Trump has “extended an olive branch” in a phone call with Qatar’s Emir – offering to help all parties resolve their differences at the White House. In other words, Don’s not getting on a fucking plane for this shit.

In a description of the Wednesday call, the White House said Trump “emphasized the importance of all countries in the region working together to prevent the financing of terrorist organizations and stop the promotion of extremist ideology.”

Referring to the regional group that includes Qatar, the President also “reiterated that a united Gulf Cooperation Council and a strong United States-Gulf Cooperation Council partnership are critical to defeating terrorism and promoting regional stability.” Trump spoke to the Saudi king Tuesday, the White House said, delivering a very similar message. –VFN

The Wall St. Journal confirmed earlier reports that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and their allies are seeking guarantees that Qatar will stop financing Islamic extremist groups and sever relations with the Muslim Brotherhood – and have demanded Qatar ‘scale back’ the Al Jazeera media network.

And per ZeroHedge – Giorgio Cafiero of geopolitical risk consultancy Gulf State Analytics stresses the danger of deteriorating relations between Middle Eastern nations:

“There are many analysts who believe that a potential break-up of the GCC has to be considered right now. If these countries fail to resolve their issues and such tensions reaches new heights, we have to be very open to the possibility of these six Arab countries no longer being able to unite under the banner of one council,” said Cafiero.

He added that if tension escalates, there could be a “military confrontation.”

I look forward to nothing happening whatsoever and this turning out to be a gigantic waste of time.

Tucker Carlson Debates BLM Supporter Over Blacks-Only Segregated Event

Tucker Carlson debated a horribly racist Black Lives Matter supporter last night – compelling his guest to distance herself from the group by the end of the interview…

Last weekend, a New York City BLM group decided to throw an “Exclusively Black’ Memorial Day party creating what they called an ‘Exclusively Black Space.’

Being intentional about being around Black People is an act of resistance. This is an exclusively Black Space… -NY BLM Group

Sorry guys…

In response to the event, Fox’s Tucker Carlson hosted an ardent BLM supporter, who defended the segregated event with a series of regressive analogies and outdated race-based identity politics (scroll down for the video).

Tucker: I was confused by this because I thought the whole point of BLM – one of the points would be to speak out against singling people out on the basis of their race and punishing them for that. Because you can’t control what your race is, and yet they seem to be doing that. Explain that to me?

#1 – White Privilege

Lisa: What I say to that is BOO HOO HOO… You white people are angry because you couldn’t use your White Privilege card to get invited to the Black Lives Matters all black memorial day celebration!

Tucker: Well, hold on… [she does not]

#2 – Memorial Day was created by former slaves

Lisa: Memorial day was created by black former slaves in 1865 to honor those individuals who were union soldiers who fought and died for our  freedoms. So Black Lives Matter in that same vein decided to get together with Black folks to make sure that Black folks are celebrated for being murdered by racist terrorists. If you’re mad at that, you just…. [mic cuts]

Tucker: I’m not mad at that – I just have a really simple question for you. If you don’t like people excluding others on the basis of their race. And as a society, we agree that’s bad – why are you defending that?

#3 – Every day is ‘White Day’

Lisa: White folks crack me up… all of the sudden when ‘we’ want one day for black folks to focus on ourselves – but you’ve been having White Day forever!

#4 – Hollywood is racist

Lisa: You’ve had an all white Oscars, all these movies with all white actors – movie after movie after movie, all white TV shows with white casts over and over and over again.

Tucker: I hope you’re not speaking for anyone else. What you’re saying is SO hostile and separatist and crazy. It’s such a basic violation of what I thought we all agree on – which is that you don’t attack people for things you don’t control – namely their race.

#5 – White people are like unruly children at a wedding

Lisa: People give weddings where they exclude children. It doesn’t mean they don’t like children – they don’t know if your kids are gonna be monsters… So in that same vein, black lives matter decided to have one day where they didn’t want white folks that were gonna be off the rails. They don’t know if you’re gonna be behaved.

Stay your asses out! We wanna celebrate today. We don’t want anybody going against us today.”

Tucker: And you can’t celebrate if someone that doesn’t look like you is around? You’re demented, actually. You’re sick. And what you’re saying is disgusting. And if you were a NAZI [Lisa: Ooooh!] I would say the same thing to you. Because what you’re saying is indistinguishable. “I don’t care your opinions, I don’t care your views – your life experience – your intentions… All I care about is the way you look,” something that you can’t control. And on that basis alone I’m judging you…

I can’t believe I have to say that out loud!

#6 – America is an inherently racist society

Lisa:  Well unfortunately, when you have a racist society like America, you force individuals to come together collectively to make sure that they have a voice. And that’s unfortunate that the racism has caused people to come together collectively.

Tucker then asks Durden if there’s a single White person in America that she’d let into the event. Perhaps realizing what a total racist she’d been for the last 7 minutes, she distances herself from the BLM decision.

Lisa: Now I’m not Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter is a movement. However, however, however – I can respect the decision. It doesn’t mean it’s the decision I would have made. Maybe I would have. Just like a wedding where I might say your kids can’t bring their bad asses at my wedding!

Tucker: Children are not an ethnic group.

Qatar Given 24 Hour Ultimatum By Saudi Arabia To Meet 10 Conditions – OR ELSE!

Days after Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt cut off diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar and launched a Naval blockade over ‘funding terrorism and supporting Iran,’ Saudi Arabia gave the small gulf nation 24 hours to fulfill 10 conditions that have been sent to Kuwait.

While the details have not been made public, rumor has it that one of Saudi Arabia’s demands is that Qatar sever all ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas – both considered terrorist organizations by international bodies.

More from ZeroHedge:

While there was little additional information on the Ultimatum and more importantly what happens should Qatar not comply, Al Jazeera reported that Kuwait’s emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, left Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after holding mediation talks with the Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz to try to defuse an escalating crisis between Arab countries and Qatar. No details were given on the talks.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, analyst Giorgio Cafiero of Gulf State Analytics, a geopolitical risk consultancy based in Washington, DC, said: “I think the Kuwaitis as well as Omanis … fear the prospects of these tensions escalating in ways which could undermine the interest of all six members of the GCC.

“There are many analysts who believe that a potential break-up of the GCC has to be considered right now.”

“If these countries fail to resolve their issues and such tensions reaches new heights, we have to be very open to the possibility of these six Arab countries no longer being able to unite under the banner of one council,” said Cafiero.

He added that if tension escalates, some have warned of a “military confrontation”.

FAKE NEWS?

This massive shunning is the result of a broadcast which Qatar claims was a hack of their state-run news agency in order to misrepresent the Emir as a backer of radical Islam – whereby a tape was played of Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani speaking with no audio, while ‘hacked’ captions containing for his support of terrorism and Iran scrolled across the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

After the broadcast, Saudi Arabia and the UAE blocked Qatari news organization Al-Jazeera last week.

DAMAGE CONTROL

Recall the Wikileaks email in which Hillary Clinton tells John Podesta that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were giving ‘clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups.’

Well – it looks like the plan is to throw Qatar under the bus in order to elevate Saudi Arabia’s status. Israel has assembled a coalition to go fight ISIS / Terrorism / Iran – which includes Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan.

Look! Trump hates Qatar too!

HACKING UP THE TRUCK?

As iBankCoin previously reported: CNN is now reporting that the siege of Qatar, implemented by Saudi Arabia, is the result of fake news stories planted by strong as shit Russian programmers, raping Qatar’s state run news agency, which caused Saudi Arabia to starve the people of Qatar to death.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d guess Qatar just reversed course on some kind of international shakedown and is now playing ball. Why else the sudden shift to MUH RUSSIANS?

VIDEO: Piers Morgan Bitchslaps London Mayor Sadiq Kahn Into Space

London Mayor and actual defender of terrorists, Sadiq Kahn, went on Good Morning Britain Tuesday with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid to discuss Jihadi terrorists pouring into the UK. Kahn tried to weasel out of the notion that Britain – the most surveilled country in the world – can’t keep track of 400 Jihadis…

Susanna Reid: How are you letting people back in to the UK who haven’t just been trained – they’ve actually fought, potentially against our troops…  Where are they? You’re the mayor of this capitol city!

Kahn: With respect.. I can’t follow 400 people, what I can do is make sure—

Morgan: Why can’t you instruct the police, and say every one of those people that have come back from a war zone is in London, I want them followed?

Kahn: Cause the police budget, roughly speaking, 15-20% is funded by me, the mayor. The rest is from Central Government. The net police government has been shrunk and reduced. They’ve got to prioritize…

Morgan:What could be a bigger priority than people coming back from a Syrian battlefield with intent to harm British citizens? Why is it not the number one priority? Why are these people allowed to come back in?

NSA Leaker ‘Reality Winner’ Feels Like A Ham-Handed PsyOp

So much doesn’t add up about NSA leaker Reality Winner…

The 25 year 0ld former US Air Force #NeverTrumper (born Sarah Winner) with a top secret security clearance and a very public anti-Trump presence on Social Media gets a job with NSA contractor Pluribus International and starts work in a Georgia NSA facility February 13th.

May 5th – the date the leaked document was allegedly created, detailing what the NSA claims are the results of an investigation into Russian election hacking based on new information received in April. The report is weak sauce – spend 5 minutes and read it… There is zero evidence of Russian hacking or influence – only a thinly supported narrative about an alleged spear phishing campaign and it’s potential victims.

On May 9th, four days later – Winner printed, removed, and snail mailed this top secret classified intel which offerings absolutely zero proof to support it’s claims to The Intercept.

May 30th – The Intercept contacts a ‘government agency’ to let them know about the documents mailed to them by the rogue NSA contractor.  The online magazine then proceeds to throw Winner under the bus by giving the NSA / FBI information which they used to easily identify her.

June 4th –  Suddenly retiring rising star family man) Jason Chaffetz says he wants to see leakers ‘in handcuffs.’

June 5th – The Intercept publishes a report ‘confirming’ Russia hacked the election.

An hour after The Intercept publishesthe FBI arrests Winner

Some observations:

  • It’s hard to believe the NSA hires contractors who would fail to properly vet and weed out a radicalized 25 year old political activist with Top Secret clearance who changed her name to ‘Reality’ and spouts aggressive rhetoric against a sitting President over social media.
  • Was Winner set up?
  • While it appears the Intercept totally fucked Winner over, given Glen Greenwald’s experience with the Snowden leaks they should be experts at operational security. For them to hand over identifying information to the NSA was either intentional or incompetence. A third option is that perhaps the US Government was able to successfully threaten The Intercept.
  • Could the report itself have been an internal psyop meant to ensure employee loyalty?

Let’s look at what Winner’s ‘leak’ accomplishes:

  • Shifts the ‘Russian Hacking’ narrative away from the alleged DNC server breach and the report by ‘tainted’ cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. It allows the ‘deep state’ to maintain the assertion that Russia literally ‘meddled in the election’ with an actual hack via phishing scam.
  • The leak addresses the growing credibility problem with ‘anonymous sources.’
  • Conservatives are tearing Reality Winner apart; from her SJW online footprint to her tattoos to her autographed Anderson Cooper photo – the right is showing no mercy, and the MSM will likely spin this as the ‘hypocritical and abusive right denigrates Bernie Sanders supporting leaker.
  • Perhaps by design, Trump supporters may turning Winner a hero to the leftlegitimizing her leak in the process.
  • Seth who? Rising nationalism in response to terrorism where?

Furthermore, I’m sure the weak minded will be in a moral quandary once the MSM is done with this; to those on the right and the left, how does ‘evil’ (or hero) Reality Winner’s leak differ from ‘hero’ (or random victim) Seth Rich’s leaks?

For starters, Winner’s leak is the same brand of unverifiable horse shit we’re being asked to trust again vs. undisputed DKIM verified emails exposed by Wikileaks which revealed vast corruption. That doesn’t matter though – the leaks will likely be spun as equivalent by the MSM.

At the end of the day, Reality Winner just risked 10 years in prison for leaking documents which offer zero proof of Russian hacking.

Weirdo NSA Contractor Arrested After Leaking Top Secret ‘Russian Hacking’ Doc To The Intercept

A Trump-hating 25 year old Federal contractor was arrested Monday after leaking a Top Secret document to The Intercept which claims that Russian Military Intelligence “executed a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials days before [the] election.”

The NSA document dated May 5th claims a recent investigation found that Russia staged a ‘months-long’ cyber-warfare effort against the U.S. election and voting infrastructure after information obtained by the NSA in April 2017 warranted opening a case.

The Intercept claims the report is ‘the most detailed U.S. government account of Russian interference in the election that has yet come to light,’ and it reveals a pervasive effort by the GRU.

The report indicates that Russian hacking may have penetrated further into U.S. voting systems than was previously understood. It states unequivocally in its summary statement that it was Russian military intelligence, specifically the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, that conducted the cyber attacks described in the document

Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate actors … executed cyber espionage operations against a named U.S. company in August 2016, evidently to obtain information on elections-related software and hardware solutions. … The actors likely used data obtained from that operation to … launch a voter registration-themed spear-phishing campaign targeting U.S. local government organizations. –The Intercept

How it led to Reality Leigh Winner…

The Intercept, co-founded by Edward Snowden leak conduit Glen Greenwald, sent the document back to the NSA for verification – which is apparently how they identified Winner as the leaker. (full affidavit)

The Dept. of Justice has issued a statement (see here)

Winner is a contractor with Pluribus International Corporation assigned to a U.S. government agency facility in Georgia. She has been employed at the facility since on or about February 13, and has held a Top Secret clearance during that time. On or about May 9, Winner printed and improperly removed classified intelligence reporting, which contained classified national defense information from an intelligence community agency, and unlawfully retained it. Approximately a few days later, Winner unlawfully transmitted by mail the intelligence reporting to an online news outlet.

That would of course be The Intercept…

Once investigative efforts identified Winner as a suspect, the FBI obtained and executed a search warrant at her residence. According to the complaint, Winner agreed to talk with agents during the execution of the warrant. During that conversation, Winner admitted intentionally identifying and printing the classified intelligence reporting

What do we know about the leaker?

Reality Leigh Winner has a weird fucking name. Actually, it’s Sara Winners and she changed it to Reality… She’s also a huge anti-Trumper.

She’s a former US Air Force linguist who speaks at least four languages

She called President Trump a ‘piece of shit.’

She has defended the White Helmets in Syria (wolves in sheep’s clothing)

She has an autographed picture of Anderson Cooper

She has weird ass evil looking tattoos

Instead of seeking asylum in Russia, Winner was a loser and didn’t cover her tracks. In fact, she seems like a fucking moron.

Based Bilderberg Protester Lays Out Path To Dollar Destruction

A secretive group of 131 elite power brokers met last weekend at the heavily guarded Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia for the highly secretive annual Bilderberg meeting.

Established in 1954 by Polish political advisor Józef Retinger – founder of the European Movement which gave birth to the EU, the informal meeting of over 130 of the world’s top bankers, politicians, spymasters, and titans of industry has been referred to as the world’s largest lobbying event. (guest list)

In addition to barring the press from the invitation-only meeting, participants are under strict rules regarding conduct:

“No minutes will be taken. No reporters will be allowed in. There will be no opening press conference, no closing statement, and participants will be asked not to quote each other,” –Independent.uk

Redpilled Nation

Thanks to the explosive growth of alternative media, the public has been able to educate themselves on topics such as high level collusion, MSM propaganda, the mechanics of debt, ISIS, globalism, the bottomless pit of ongoing conflict and regime change.

As a result of this ‘redpilling,’ a growing number of activists around the world have been making the journey to Bilderberg meetings to protest the meetings – which has even attracted the attention of the MSM in recent years. In fact, according to InfoWars, this year’s Bilderberg was the most covered in history.

Based Trump supporter

To that end, independent Journalist Jack Posobiec ran into a gentleman, identified only as a Trump supporter, who spoke his mind about the ’70 year old regime’ established after WWII which created NATO and standardized global trade to revolve around US Dollar as the reserve currency.

According to the man, the ‘Atlanticists’ (a.k.a. Western globalists) are in big trouble – and so is the future of the US Dollar.

[an aside regarding Atlanticists: The DNC hired Crowdstrike to cobble together the Hacking report used as evidence in the Russian influence investigation. Notably, Crowdstrike founder Dmitri Alperovitch sits on the Atlantic Council along with loose-lipped DNC operative Evelyn Farkas and a Ukrainian oligarch who’s also a Clinton Foundation donor that apparently owns the Ukrainian gas company Joe Biden’s son is on the board of.]

According to based Trump supporter, the West needs to get with the program and acknowledge ‘Eurasian Sovereignty’ and China’s evolving trade agreements with nations around the world as part of their “One Belt One Road” (or OBOR) economic plan (Of note – the Trump administration sent a delegation to the OBOR summit held three weeks ago).

The man then discussed the USA’s immense national debt, and while he may have made a small mistake remembering CBO projections on interest paid to the Federal reserve – he’s absolutely right about several things which iBankCoin and ZeroHedge readers are no stranger to; Federal Debt is out of control and is set to become one of the Govt’s largest expenditures.

Furthermore, the US Fed has been able to print money with near impunity because of its enormous GDP, as well as an ongoing synthetic demand for US Dollars due to it’s status as the global reserve. With more and more canaries coughing and sputtering in the coal mine of Western finance, however, it’s obvious that debt-fueled economic expansion and the US Dollar are in big trouble.

So what can we do about it?

With the USD’s reserve status being actively undermined, and despite several attempts to maintain it’s luster – based Bilderberg protestor says the United States needs to get in on OBOR before it’s too late.

 

If the American people were smart, they would ask to get in on OBOR, and what would be the best way? President Vladimir Putin proposed a project digging a tunnel from Siberia to Alaska– and having a railroad and infrastructure and highways connecting the two. Then we’d be linked to OBOR. We would be part of that economy.

That project would be kind of like what the Panama Canal was 100 years ago that connected two great oceans….

And while joining OBOR may not solve the problem of US Federal debt, systemic risk from derivatives, or an enormous budget deficit – exploring more efficient trade and strengthened Eurasian relationships may make for a smoother transition into a post Bretton-woods regime.
