The decision to use Ms. Turk in the operation aimed at a presidential campaign official shows the level of alarm inside the F.B.I. during a frantic period when the bureau was trying to determine the scope of Russia’s attempts to disrupt the 2016 elections…
Translation: “Look what Trump made us do!!”Â
Soooo frantic and sooo alarming they weren’t frantic and/or alarmed reviewing the 100k+ newly discovered emails and docs on Anthony Weiner’s laptop???
Translation: “Don’t want to piss off our next President…”
“The American government’s affiliation with the woman, who said her name was Azra Turk, is one previously unreported detail of an operation that has become a political flash point in the face of accusations by President Trump and his allies that American law enforcement and intelligence officials spied on his campaign to undermine his electoral chances,â€
Hello!
Law enforcement agencies legally use informants and undercover agents to investigate potential crimes, including potential treason.
Did you hear that another unqualified Fed nominee withdrew. First, Herman Cain, now Stephen Moore.
Exactly why was he unqualified?
In short, Moore has a non-reputation in economics, and is a FOX News “economist” with little knowledge of monetary policy. He would be there to do tRump’s bidding. The big concern among professional economists is that Moore might ascend to being Fed Chair!
In Moore’s defense, he is likely more qualified than Herman Cain.
Why do you think he withdrew (or was forced to withdraw by tRump)? His horrible past sexist remarks? His lack of experience? His partisan positions?
Benn Steil, director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations: “Moore’s monetary commentary has for well over a decade been relentlessly partisan, illogical and fact-fudged. This is appalling.â€
Justin Wolfers, economist at the University of Michigan: “Call your favorite economist. Whether they’re left, right, libertarian or socialist, none of them will endorse Stephen Moore for the Fed. He’s manifestly unqualified.â€
J. Bradford DeLong, economist at the University of California at Berkeley and deputy assistant treasury secretary in the Clinton administration: “He has absolutely no business overseeing U.S. monetary policy.â€
Moore twists his facts to fit the political occasion. A long and somewhat technical essay from economist George Selgin of the libertarian Cato Institute makes a similar point.

More conservative opinion on Moore.
Imagine How the Markets Might React if Herman Cain or Stephen Moore Replaced Jerome Powell.

Steve Moore’s Peculiar Logic
https://www.themoneyillusion.com/steve-moores-peculiar-logic/
That was a serious and succinct response, Elwood. Problem is all you pointed out was that any person selected by trump is unacceptable. Where the rest of us live, in reality, that’s called partisanship. It’s also failure of the Democrats to do their jobs only because they, like you, hate Trump more than they love America. There’s just no getting around it.
BTW, what makes you think we believe today’s quisling Republicans and more than the traitorous Democrats? Cause we don’t.
Kye typed: “…any person selected by trump is unacceptable.”
That’s not true. Moore and Cain are unqualified not because they’re partisan conservatives, but because that’s all they are. His choices are not just outside the mainstream, but also unqualified, although they would have been loyal tRump supporters. Just another example of tRump putting his needs ahead of the nation.
tRump loves tRump more than he loves America.
Moore was a market analyst at the WSJ. His rep is solid. But he’s no globalist, so that’s why the Lefties want him blacklisted.
And note the rogue’s gallery Jeffery uses to try to convince us this is all honest.
CFR, Berkeley, Bloomberg, Cato, Hoover (ie Stanford).
Imagine How the Markets Might React if Herman Cain or Stephen Moore Replaced Jerome Powell.
500 point jump in all probability. Powell is an idiot, but it just shows the kind of people Jeffery’s massas want.
Dutcher,
Why did tRump dump both Cain and Moore? Because of criticism? Or because they couldn’t even get enough GOP Senators on board? Both are unqualified and too political for an important job. Even the GOP knows it.
The Dems confirmed other Trump Federal Reserve Board nominees who happened to be well-qualified.
But this week, The Washington Post first reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller contacted Barr, both in a letter and in a phone call, to express concerns after Barr released his four-page summary of Mueller’s findings in March. Mueller pushed Barr to release the executive summaries written by the special counsel’s office.
However, according to both the Post and the Justice Department, Mueller made clear that he did not feel that Barr’s summary was inaccurate. Instead, Mueller told Barr that media coverage of the letter had “misinterpreted†the results of the probe concerning obstruction of justice.
It’s very important to note that Mueller was having problems with the press running fuking amuck not with Barr’s letter or summary of Mueller’s report.
Seriously LEFTIES…why would BARR LIE when a week later he was going to RELEASE THE ENTIRE REPORT FOR EVERYONE TO READ FOR THEMSELVES.
THIS IS A CIRCUS and the CLOWN CAR IS DRIVEN INTO THE CANNON BY THE DEMOCRATS BUT SOMEONE FORGET TO ERRECT THE SAFETY NET AS NADLER is fixing to pull the trigger.
Did Mr. Mueller talk about media coverage or did Barr? Certainly, Mr. Mueller did not mention the media in the letter.
Why would Barr lie? Why not? He’s the fuking AG. tRump lies to the American people several times a day. There is no consequence of these lying liars lying until 2020.
Here’s the letter if you haven’t read it. Can you point out where Mr. Mueller claimed he was concerned about the press getting things wrong? The letter was clear that Barr’s summary was causing confusion.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/special-counsel-mueller-s-letter-to-attorney-general-barr/e32695eb-c379-4696-845a-1b45ad32fff1/?utm_term=.af3065a385f4
Pretty much paragraph one and two.
Quoting WAPO:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/05/01/i…
In the March 27 letter, Mueller protested that Barr’s four-page memo “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance†of his work, according to a copy reviewed by The Post.
If you read their article they state that However, according to both the Post and the Justice Department, Mueller made clear that he did not feel that Barr’s summary was inaccurate. Instead, Mueller told Barr that media coverage of the letter had “misinterpreted†the results of the probe concerning obstruction of justice.
Don’t know what else to say. Perhaps you could ask Obama. he probably has a wire tap on Barr and Trumps bedrooms.
So Mr. Mueller didn’t mention a misunderstanding caused by the press? The letter clearly didn’t state that or even imply it.
Perhaps Mr. Mueller said it to barr in a telephone call. Is that what barr claimed? Maybe Congress will ask Mr. Mueller if barr was lying.
Maybe Congress will ask Mr. Mueller if barr was lying
Maybe Congress will ask Mr. Mueller if he was lying. Far more likely.
You typed: “…Mueller told Barr that media coverage of the letter had “misinterpreted†the results…”
Where did YOU get that information? I’m pretty sure President Obama had no involvement.
No involvement? Just like there wasn’t a smidgeon of corruption?
You are a card. That’s a good one.
Zippy’s manicured and polished fingers are all over this.
He didn’t have to. The idea was Barr would release it as is and Mule Ears would have spun it his way.
And when exactly did Barr lie?
tRump lies to the American people several times a day. There is no consequence of these lying liars lying until 2020.
And then they will be re-elected.
Exactly what lies does Trump tell? Be specific.
lying liars? I thought you hated sexual molesters of women, but here you are quoting one.
Hypocrite a 4th time.
Mueller was given the opportunity to correct or edit Barr’s summary.
He refused to do so.
Thats because even according to the WAPO…the jeff bezos Trump hating rag they realized that Mueller himself said that Barr’s letter was NOT inaccurate.
What Jeffy is failing to grasp in this that according to the WAPO they themselves made this clear and subsequently claimed it was the Media and the national perception of his report that was his issues. It is why he wanted the reports prepared by Clinton DONORS to be released instead of Barrs. Mueller was playing games to the end but as a smart and shrewd lawyer realized going to far could land him in jail so he decided to do what was right. TELL THE TRUTH to the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Lil Mangy,
“Hitler did NOT kill 6 million Jews” is NOT inaccurate, but you would agree that it’s misleading, right?
Barr could have said “Mr. Mueller and his team filed a report that did not indict the President.” Not inaccurate, but not complete either.
Mr. Mueller’s letter did not say, “Good job, Billy, you summarized our work even better than we did”! In the letter was ““…did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance…†and “There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation.” and “This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcomes of the investigations”.
Mr. Mueller didn’t say that the media misinterpreted barr’s summary but that barr’s summary CAUSED the confusion.
What tRump and barr had in mind was to mislead the public with the sanitized “summary” and the pre-release presser. It’s what they do.
Jeff,
Nothing happened, at all. Liberals being fairly ignorant have problems with that. But don’t worry, it seems Bare is going to get the people responsible for the hoax, which I am sure you support.
I’m not going to parse words with you. That is what the democrats are doing as they watch their own go down in a flaming wreck.
An informant working for U.S. intelligence posed as a Cambridge University research assistant in September 2016 to try to probe George Papadopoulos, then a Trump foreign policy adviser, on the campaign’s possible ties to Russia, according to a new report.
And, Papadopoulos told Fox News on Thursday, the informant tried to “seduce” him as part of the “bizarre” episode.
Just as Mueller used wire taps to then get a few of the Trump team on lying to the FBI. he had to put someone in jail. Unfortunately it wasn’t Trump as far as the Left is concerened.
Get over it. Even if the above happened nothing will come of it. The dems and repubs do not eat their own. They bluster and brag and rant and rave and nothing happens. Even Erick Holder was found in contempt and brought up on charges of obstruction. Nothing happened and 7 years later he was STILL AG.
Get over it. Move on. Or not. Its entertaining watching you wearing a huge ball of tin foil on your head.
Mule Ears can say whatever he wants. Everybody sees he’s as big a liar as you.
Barr just refused to play his game.
And, if anyone thinks Mule Ears was appointed to assure full public confidence in the outcomes of the investigations, then they’re as big a fool as Jeffery.
Too bad when Mule Ears said no more indictments, that finished it for the American public.
Jeffery and his little friends are just mad because Trump, once again, beat them at their own game.
Dutcher,
No one lies as much as you.
Hi honey,…
https://www.dailywire.com/news/46701/nellie-ohr-fusion-gps-contractor-and-wife-doj-ashe-schow
It begins.
What is it with black dems?
Baltimore’s embattled Mayor Catherine Pugh resigned Thursday amid state and federal investigations into whether she used bulk sales of her self-published children’s book “Healthy Holly” to disguise kickbacks.
What is it with black dems?
Alabama State Rep. John Rogers (D) on abortion: “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them laterâ€
He literally talks about killing “unwanted,†“retarded,†and “half deformed†babies…
AND LEST THEIR BE ANY DOUBT WHY THE LEFT WANTS OPEN BORDERS:
“Allowing the administration to demand citizenship information from every household as part of the decennial census for the first time in more than half a century would dramatically depress the count in areas with significant Latino and immigrant populations and would reposition political representation toward areas more likely to elect Republicans,” Holder wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published Thursday.
And there you have it the former AG for Obama admitting that the left wants to count ILLEGALS for voting purposes.
You should read the Constitution some time. It’s short.
We’ve all read the Constitution. Where in it does it call for national and cultural suicide? If you loved the Constitution more than you hate Trump you’d know that.
If so, you must be aware that the Census is to count all persons here. If you loved America as much as you hate the “other” you’d know that. Article 1, Section 2.
So the Dems want to follow the Constitution and you and your ilk don’t. Got it.
This is why we have a census
Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons
Since the purpose of the census is allotting taxes and Congresscritters, and since the illegals are not included in those taxed or represented.
And since the illegals will be deported or imprisoned, they cannot be considered “free persons”.
So again, you lie.
How would you know? I have never seen anyone with a more uninformed view on what’s in the Constitution than you.
That’s not true. Moore and Cain are unqualified not because they’re partisan conservatives, but because that’s all they are. His choices are not just outside the mainstream, but also unqualified, although they would have been loyal tRump supporters. Just another example of tRump putting his needs ahead of the nation.
tRump loves tRump more than he loves America.
funny. That describes Willie’s MO a lot better then Trump’s.
His choices are not just outside the mainstream
Which mainstream, dare we ask? Every time I hear that line, it usually turns out they mean the Lefty mainstream, which is far out of the American mainstream.
they would have been loyal tRump supporters.
As opposed to the Ozark Mafia, who lied for Willie without qualm, or the Choom Gang, who broke the law for Zippy without qualm?
formwiz typed: Which mainstream, dare we ask?
That American mainstream where candidates are actually qualified to perform their jobs.
Jerome Powell was nominated by Trump to be Fed Chair and won approval 84-13.
Richard Clarida was nominated by Trump and won approval 69-26.
Randal Quarles was nominated by Trump and won approval 65-32.
Lael Brainard was nominated by Obama and approved 61-31.
Michelle Bowman was nominated by Trump and approved 64-34.
Two Board seats are currently empty. Please read the biographies of the current board members and see if Steve Moore or Herman Cain compare well?
It seems the Dems will approve qualified nominees.
No, it Demos don’t hold the deciding votes, NeverTrumpers do. The people who own them want globalists, no matter how incompetent, not able Americans.
Of course, you know all this. You just lie for the exercise
formwiz,
Sigh. The Senate has approved 4 qualified trump nominees to the Federal Reserve Board, Jerome Powell, Michelle Bowman, Randal Quarles, and Richard Clarida.
If the Senate is filled with neverTrumpers, why did they approve these eminently qualified trump nominees but turn their backs on Cain and Moore?
Does that make any sense?
Funny thing about truth is it doesn’t have to make sense, but the issue is Powell and the rest of the jerks were globalists in good standing.
Cain and Moore are Americans. I would expect even you could see the difference.
Dutcher,
Why did tRump dump both Cain and Moore? Because of criticism? Or because they couldn’t even get enough GOP Senators on board? Both are unqualified and too political for an important job. Even the GOP knows it.
The Dems confirmed other Trump Federal Reserve Board nominees who happened to be well-qualified.
He didn’t dump them Jeffey L Keene, alleged child molester, they withdrew their names after a sufficient number of NeverTrumpers said they would vote against them.
Both men are eminently qualified, but are not globalists. They are Americans. And being too political never stopped the Demos for voting for someone.
Dutcher,
No one lies as much as you.
I warned you about this, Jeffery L Keene, alleged child molester. Knock it off.
I know I can’t expect you to stop lying. You’d have nothing to say if you had to go by the facts.
If you thought I was kidding, now you know I’m not.
You warned me, Edward Sibley Dutcher? LOL.
And I warned you, and you didn’t stop. Knock it off.
As I said, I stop when you do.
You want me to keep it up, just keep going.
I told you. You thought I was bluffing.
Keep it up and Teach can sort it out, but I recall how outraged to were when liljeffy brought this up on a regular basis.
You keep it up, tough guy.
You overestimate the value you gain in libeling me as a child molester. I don’t care as much as you will.
Edward S Dutcher,
When will you learn? Are you daft?
Did you know that putting “alleged” in front of a defamatory statement doesn’t absolve one of libel? I didn’t think so.
The Fake News does it all the time.
In any case, I wasn’t aware you’re a practicing attorney.
Hope you do that better than you troll.
formwiz,
Since you’re clearly mentally unbalanced, let’s agree to stop using names. I further pledge not to even engage with you (just as I ignore Lil) as long as you stop addressing me.
I reserve the right to challenge your lies.
Stop lying.
The governments of Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Malaysia and the EU are leasing luxury condos in the Trump World Tower in NYC. It was approved by tRump’s State Department, but not Congress. Millions into to tRump’s pocket from foreign interests!
“[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States] shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” – U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 8.
But of course, the laws and the Constitution do not apply to tRump.
