De kat in het nauw ziet kennelijk in Blumenthal een gevaar. Zou hij wat sappige documenten hebben/openbaren?

Goed, nog voor het Steele dossier had de FBI dus onderzoek naar 4 mensen in de Trump campagne.

En echt Nintex, het was allang bekend dat een onderdeel van de FBI Trump geholpen had ... het zou alleen goed zijn als daar ook strafrechtelijk eens wat mee zou gebeuren.

We'll see if he's able to say the same thing about the NYC field office of the FBI and its investigation of Hillary Clinton. reageer retweet

The Most Damaging Election Disinformation Campaign Came From Donald Trump, Not Russia

However, global adversaries like the Russians aren't the only actors who can use flooding and confidence attacks. US actors can use just the same techniques. Indeed, they can arguably use them better, since they have a better understanding of US politics, more resources, and are far more difficult for the government to counter without raising First Amendment issues.

For example, when the Federal Communication Commission asked for comments on its proposal to get rid of "net neutrality," it was flooded by fake comments supporting the proposal. Nearly every real person who commented was in favor of net neutrality, but their arguments were drowned out by a flood of spurious comments purportedly made by identities stolen from porn sites, by people whose names and email addresses had been harvested without their permission, and, in some cases, from dead people. This was done not just to generate fake support for the FCC's controversial proposal. It was to devalue public comments in general, making the general public's support for net neutrality politically irrelevant. FCC decision making on issues like net neutrality used to be dominated by industry insiders, and many would like to go back to the old regime.

vermontgmg twitterde op zondag 09-12-2018 om 01:06:05 This is a really important point by @emptywheel, often overlooked by GOP critics. The original FBI Russia probe was meant to *PROTECT* the Trump campaign, to protect against Russians trying to penetrate it. The horror arrived when the FBI realized Trump wanted the help. https://t.co/tHensH1K24 reageer retweet

As reporters pored over the transcript on Saturday, seemingly bizarre exchanges emerged.

Sixty pages into Friday’s hearing, New York congressman and the likely judiciary chairman Jerrold Nadler raised a striking claim made by Trump about Comey’s relationship with Mueller, his predecessor as FBI director.

“On 5 September,” Nadler said, “President Trump brought up special counsel Mueller in an interview with the Daily Caller, stating: ‘And he’s Comey’s best friend, and I could give you a hundred pictures of him and Comey hugging and kissing each other. You know he’s Comey’s best friend.’”

Nadler asked: “Are you best friends with Robert Mueller?”

Comey replied that though he admired “the heck out of the man”, he did not know his phone number or the names of his children.

“I think I had a meal once alone with him in a restaurant,” he said. “I like him … I’m an associate of his who admires him greatly. We’re not friends in any social sense.”

Nadler said he would not “ask whether you’ve ever hugged and kissed him”.

“A relief to my wife,” Comey said.

In the very first line of questioning, about text messages between two now former FBI staffers, which Republicans have said portray anti-Trump bias, the oversight chairman, Trey Gowdy, quoted a message about the margin an agent said Hillary Clinton “should win by” and asked: “In the course of human history, has anyone won an election 100 million to zero, to your knowledge?”

Comey replied: “I don’t mean to be facetious. I can’t speak to Stalin’s re-election or Mao Tse-tung re-election campaigns.”

Gowdy said: “100 million to zero is a lot.”

“Sure,” said Comey. “I’m not trying to be facetious, but I remember as a student the vote in Soviet Russia was 99.9% to …”

Interrupting, Gowdy said: “We are going to get to Russia in a little bit. We’ll get to Russia in a little bit.”

The U.S. Is Paying More Than It Bargained for in the Yemen War
The Pentagon says that “errors in accounting” mean Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have not been properly charged for refueling.

President Donald Trump, who repeatedly complains that the United States is paying too much for the defense of its allies, has praised Saudi Arabia for ostensibly taking on Iran in the Yemen war. It turns out, however, that U.S. taxpayers have been footing the bill for a major part of the Saudi-led campaign, possibly to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. (Atlantic).
