Bob Goodlatte is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee; and also the lead chairman (w/ Gowdy) of the joint House Oversight and Judiciary Committee that is conducting the interviews of witnesses for the investigation into corruption by the FBI and DOJ. The joint committee has interviewed: Bill Priestap, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr; no transcripts released (likely to avoid coordinated testimony).
In this morning’s interview with Maria Bartiromo Chairman Goodlatte discusses the need to interview Nellie Ohr and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson voluntarily or by subpoena. Again, note the oft-repeated “sources and methods” declassification issue.
.
Think about it. What were the sources/methods for the Steele Dossier? What were the sources/methods for the FISA application? It’s the sources and methods that were/are corrupt. Declassification is futile without un-redacting the sources and methods.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the federal budget legislation, wall funding and the 2018 Mid Term elections. The 2018 fiscal year ends September 30th, President Trump is pressuring lawmakers to pass fiscal year 2019 spending bills prior to the October 1st deadline.
Senator Lindsey Graham appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss all things swampy. Thankfully Mrs. Bartiromo calls out President Obama for the gobsmacking projection within in his accusation that President Trump is politicizing the Department of Justice.
Additionally, Senator Graham renews his request for a special counsel to investigate the FBI and DOJ conduct during the prior administration; along with support for the declassification of documents. [The Declassification Conundrum]
.
The declassification issue is easy to see: the “sources and methods” are corrupt. The sources are “journalists and unlawful FBI/NSA database searches”, and the methods are “government leaks to media and the dossier author, Chris Steele”.
AG Jeff Sessions, DAG Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray are protecting the “sources and methods” because they do not want the American people to see how easy it is for the DOJ and FBI to fabricate and actually manufacture evidence. Collectively they are trying to protect their beloved and corrupt institutions from exposure. It all goes back to the FISA exploitation and database abuse. =>THIS<=is what must be kept secret.
The insufferable guardian of the swamp gates, Chris Wallace, was in his full uniparty glory this morning as he scolds Vice-President Mike Pence during a discussion of the current state of swamp affairs.
Topics include President Obama’s glorious return to the campaign trail; the magnanimous resistance (Wallace opinion) from an anonymous usurper within the administration; President Trump’s unnecessary frustration with the failure of DOJ and FBI to address internal corruption; Bob Woodward’s anti-Trump book etc.
Ezra Levant from Rebel Media outlines even more evidence of Justin from Canada taking specific steps to intentionally sabotage the Canadian economy. A few days ago Mr. Levant posited some interesting considerations: If Justin were NOT intentionally trying to bring hardship to Canadians, what would he be doing differently?
.
After this broadcast the employment report from the Canadian government was published. The economy lost 52,000 jobs in August alone. Read THIS to see just one example of Justin destroying 8,000 Canadian jobs in a 24 hour period: “Eight thousand jobs disappeared this morning, and one of them was mine.” MORE
Breaking with all presidential traditions of respectfully staying out of politics while your successor delivers on the policies of his election, former President Barack Obama spoke again today at an invitation only campaign rally in Anaheim, California.
Many media outlets are now carrying the former Presidents’ daily speeches live during their broadcasts. There is a visible sense of panic amid the far-left apparatchik.
One thing stands as abundantly clear, the former president is afraid – very afraid.
Former President Obama is acting like a man who knows there is a strong likelihood a win for President Trump in the mid-terms means all of the corruption discovered during Obama’s administration will surface. When campaigning today Obama says: “things can get worse“, he’s right. Things likely will get much, much worse…. FOR HIM.
If President Trump can keep control or gain seats within the House of Representatives; and simultaneously build on the republican majority within the senate; there’s a horizon filled with consequences for President Obama, democrat politicians, and former administration officials who weaponized government to retain power.
Everything is being controlled, scripted and planned. On the surface it might seem like President Obama is violating every polite political custom in an effort to win seats in the mid-term election; however, below the surface the real motive is to save himself.
Author and columnist Sidney Powell appeared last night on Lou Dobbs television show to discuss the special counsel investigation, the testimony of Bruce Ohr, and the bigger issues surrounding the abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Mrs. Powell is one of the few knowledgeable people who reminds the audience where the origin the political surveillance operation began; the abuse of the NSA and FBI databases; which led to the corrupt abuse of the FISA court. Great interview:
In case anyone was wondering, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is in Europe talking trade with the European Union. Within the delegation of trade negotiation, the EU trade agreement is designated to Ross, while USTR Lighthizer covers Canada and Mexico and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is holding point on China. Secretary Ross is getting the royalty treatment in Greece today.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Robert Lighthizer is still engaged with Chrystia from Canada as negotiations continue to see if a U.S-Canada trade deal is possible. He must have the patience of Job. The 52,000 lost Canadian jobs announced today has shifted the landscape a little. Canada appears slightly more likely to back-away from prior demands to carve out the Canadian Dairy industry and continue the process of protectionist tariffs.
Ms. Freeland is heading back to Canada tonight, leaving her negotiation team in DC to continue working. However, Canada still demands to exempt their “cultural industries”, telecommunications and media sectors, from any trade agreement. The issues for Canada to join the U.S-Mexico agreement are/were:
open their telecommunications and banking sector (eliminate non tariff barriers).
eliminate soft-wood (lumber) and aeronautics federal subsidies.
begin a process of lowering their assembly use of Chinese/Asian goods.
accept the rules of origin for North American manufacturing.
eliminate protectionist tariffs on dairy and farm products.
accept the U.S-Mexico terms for arbitration and dispute resolution.
The Telecommunications/media sector is non-negotiable according to Justin from Canada. There may be flexibility within banking (not much information). The lumber and aeronautics subsidies could be dropped. Rules of origin are non-negotiable for President Trump. Protectionist tariffs on dairy and farm products are the current issue being discussed. Dispute resolution is an outstanding issue.
CANADA / WASHINGTON — The vexing issue of securing more American access to Canadian dairy remained a major obstacle in NAFTA negotiations as Canada’s lead minister on the continental trade pact departed the U.S. capital Friday.
Larry Kudlow, the director of President Donald Trump’s National Economic Council, laid that out in the plainest terms possible during a televised interview Friday morning, hours before talks ended between Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland her U.S. counterpart, trade czar Robert Lighthizer.
Freeland had come to Washington this week in an attempt to break the impasse in the 13-month renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which was started at Trump’s behest.
A senior government official, briefing reporters on background, said Freeland was departing Washington on Friday night, but would keep in touch with Lighthizer. Canadian and American negotiators would continue to meet, the official added. (more)
Chrystia Freeland remarks.

Robert Lighthizer won’t discuss anything with the media; however, Larry Kudlow discusses some of the issues:
Earlier today National Economic Council Chairman Larry Kudlow appeared on CNBC for an extensive interview about the current U.S. economy. Jobs growing; wages growing; economy growing; trade deals improving…. Lots of good MAGAnomic stuff:
.
(Via CNBC) White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow is extremely optimistic about the U.S. economy.
“The economic boom continues,” he said on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” Friday, citing the August jobs report and the month’s wage gain data. “It’s the big story of 2018. Jobs, growth, wages. It doesn’t get much better than that.”
The August jobs report came in above expectations Friday. The U.S. economy created 201,000 nonfarm payroll jobs for the month versus the 191,000 estimate from economists surveyed by Reuters. Average hourly earnings rose 2.9 percent for the month on an annualized basis, the highest since April 2009.
Kudlow also referenced other recent reports as evidence for the strong economy.
“Wages are rising very very well. This is great stuff. And it’s widespread,” he said. “ISM manufacturing BOOM! ISM services BOOM! There is no let up to this. Consumer spending, we’re probably emerging into a capital goods boom right now … This is the take-off.”
Last month, the government said GDP grew at a 4.2 percent annualized rate in the second quarter, the fastest pace in nearly four years.
Kudlow is director of the National Economic Council and is one of President Donald Trump’s top advisors. (more)
The former part-time volunteer Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos has been sentenced today to 14 days in prison for lying to FBI investigators about the timing of his contact with the sketchy Maltese professor Joseph Misfud. Special Counsel Robert Mueller had recommended 30 days in prison.
(Reuters) WASHINGTON – A U.S. judge on Friday sentenced President Donald Trump’s former campaign aide George Papadopoulos to 14 days in prison for lying to the FBI during its investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty in October 2017 to lying to FBI agents about the timing and significance of his contacts with Russians, including a professor who told him the Russians had “dirt” on Trump’s Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton.
