The Senate Intelligence Committee turns its attention to Jill Stein.

Courtesy of Buzzfeed:  

The top congressional committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has set its sights on the Green Party and its nominee, Jill Stein. 

Dennis Trainor Jr., who worked for the Stein campaign from January to August of 2015, says Stein contacted him on Friday saying the Senate Intelligence Committee had requested that the campaign comply with a document search. 

Trainor, who served as the campaign’s communications director and acting manager during that time, told BuzzFeed News that he was informed of the committee’s request because during his time on the campaign, his personal cell phone was “a primary point of contact” for those looking to reach Stein or the campaign. That included producers from RT News, the Russian state-funded media company that booked Stein for several appearances, Trainor said. 

When asked Monday what the committee was looking for from the Stein campaign, North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, the committee’s chairman, responded, "collusion with the Russians." Burr said that the committee is "just starting" its work investigating two campaigns, but did not elaborate. 

Stein did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I have long believed that Stein was a Russian asset and now I am very interested in what an investigation of her connections to the Kremlin will reveal. 

I'm going to need a whole new batch of popcorn for this one.

    Gryphen, I agree with your assessment on Jill Stein. From the moment I first saw that picture with Stein seated at the same table as Putin and Flynn, I knew there was an unsolved connection. I think she is probably as corrupt as the Trump clan.

    Inside the Republican Senate scheme to use a GSA plant to muddy the waters for Robert Mueller

    ...December 12th is also the day the Republican-controlled Senate suddenly decided that it needed to finally get around to confirming Trump nominee Emily Murphy as the new head of the GSA (link). Now the Republicans in the Senate are promptly asking Murphy to help them in building the false argument that Mueller somehow acted improperly by asking for the emails (link). It’s not difficult to see what appears to be transpiring here.

    Putin calls Trump an Imperialist

    he Kremlin slammed President Donald Trump’s national security strategy on Tuesday, calling it imperialist and saying the U.S. is unwilling to accept a multipolar world.

    “We cannot agree with an attitude that sees our country as a threat to the United States,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters a day after Trump revealed his national security strategy. “A quick read of the parts of the strategy that mention our country one way or another... [shows] an imperialist character.”

    ox News senior judicial analyst, Andrew Napolitano threw cold water on White House complaints about special counsel Robert Mueller securing Trump transition emails. Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, also criticized his conservative colleagues who have been critical of the investigation to date.

    “It’s been widely said Trump’s lawyers believe this was illegal, this is a horrible thing happening,” Fox News anchor Shepard Smith noted. “Which is ridiculous”

    “When they ran the transition, the GSA, the Government Services Administration gave them the computers, the software and the server. And every time they went on those computers, every time you go in any GSA-owned computer, you get a notice, there’s no privacy, the e-mail you send belongs to a federal government,” Napolitano reminded.

    “So Mueller’s people either — we don’t know what — knock on the doors and say you have the e-mails or got a subpoena. Perfectly legal and done every day of the week,” Napolitano concluded.

    “As a matter of course, to not get them would be derelict,” Smith noted.

    “Correct,” Napolitano replied.

    “Based on the evidence, who is in the line of fire now?” Smith asked.

    “Jared Kushner, Donald Trump, Jr and the president is in the line of fire,” Napolitano concluded.

    “I’m critical of our colleagues that say there’s no ‘there’ there,” Napolitano admitted. “You know what, Shep? This is a jigsaw puzzle with 100,000 pieces and we see a piece here and a piece there and people say it doesn’t make any sense. It takes time to amass all of these pieces of evidence so that we see the jigsaw puzzle completed, that’s what Mueller and company are trying to do.”

    “Indictments and confessions,” Smith noted.

    OT? 'because “the president’s taxes are still under audit.”'
    '“There are a number of provisions that would negatively impact the president personally,”' <NOPE!
    "For the last time, the president can release his tax returns even if he’s under audit."

    Internet roasts ‘schoolyard bully’ Nikki Haley after she threatens to ‘take names’ during a UN vote

    US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has threatened that the United States “will be taking names” as the body prepares to vote on President Donald Trump’s controversial decision to move the United States embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

    “At the UN we’re always asked to do more & give more. So, when we make a decision, at the will of the American ppl, abt where to locate OUR embassy, we don’t expect those we’ve helped to target us. On Thurs there’ll be a vote criticizing our choice. The US will be taking names,” the diplomat tweeted Tuesday.

    The internet was surprised that a diplomat would use such undiplomatic language to refer to our allies.

    The pro-Kremlin talking points of Jill Stein
    Trump wasn't the only one promoting pro-Kremlin talking points last year.

    ...Of course, Stein’s most prominent moment during the presidential campaign came via RT – and through an intersection of the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia. In late 2015, Stein memorably joined Michael Flynn – who recently pled guilty for lying about his interactions with Russian officials – and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow at a gala celebrating the ten-year anniversary of RT. Stein later described the attendant RT conference as “inspiring.”

    Stein also shared the conference billing with Julian Assange – whom Stein in 2016 hailed as a “hero in my book,” and who, remarkably, even made a speaking appearance at the Green Party’s convention.

      'No matter how bad this scandal gets, President Trump will always have a powerful media apparatus supporting him and working to discredit the investigation and its conclusions, as well as allies in Congress who will not abandon him no matter what gets revealed. We could see a video of him kneeling before Vladimir Putin and pledging his eternal loyalty to the Kremlin before biting the head off a bald eagle, and he would still retain a core of supporters willing to go to any length to defend him.

      They don't yet know what those lengths are, but given what they've already said, you can tell they think it's going to be a long journey.'

    I knew our country had problems but until Donald opened his big mouth and made them worst, I didn't even think that America could be the hatemonger of the world.
    And to think at the end of all this, we will find that Donald has some ailment like Parkinsons, dementia, or some other elderly disorder. Mind you, the Republicans seems willing to ride this one out as long as possible so they can get all their dreams come true on how to screw over the middle class once and for all.

  18. Off track:

    The lower House of the Virginia State Legistlature just became 50/50 Republican/Democrat. A recount was just completed and ratified and the Democrat won by ONE VOTE!

    There are several recounts still going so it is possible that the Virginia House might even go majority Democrat when they are done.
