FEBRUARY 28, 2014  .Spygate Exposed: 2025 Reissue Edition – Original 2020 Text, with a Newly Written Foreword Paperback – March 23, 2025  by  Svetlana Lokhova  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Spygate-Exposed-Reissue-Original-Foreword/dp/B0F2MR15ST/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JSCI8JXCZYLD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8kyOb0XFdRwu6xECf-3VGB4MichvP3hsnZlWuFZvUry5oJYujoIsh4TuRVNAfJBP-Pp4qaoBfXUbR8Z11_6QI1VnrxbJ6r_f8uHE5WejPdvPlzGzxpXMaOvzBUp00mNwoFCyaGvyqa8hbME4hjOKKxlc4FU_ykkjXbiYavHFbyerzW2sbyP7DurhLCA9BakE.M0jyav0jki6T3C7qrVUuImPPb_u1_t3LIzHkel7qkfQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=LOKHOVA&qid=1744509827&sprefix=lokhova%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1 Spygate is the greatest scandal in modern American history: a plot to topple President Donald J Trump. In this explosive eyewitness account, Cambridge University historian Svetlana Lokhova exposes the “Russia hoax” —and how a devious spy Stefan Halper operating against the Trump presidential campaign ensnared Lt. General Michael T. Flynn. For his efforts, this spy collected massive payouts from the US taxpayer. Halper planted lies, entrapped unsuspecting Trump advisers, and leaked classified information to the media in 2017. Swept up in this fabricated narrative, Lokhova was falsely accused of being Flynn's lover and a Russian intelligence agent—a smear that derailed her academic career. As an eye witness, Lokhova co-operated with Special Counsel John Durham's investigation for years. Now, she reveals the truth behind Spygate, tracing the tangled web of deceit involving President Obama's inner circle, Hillary Clinton's campaign, British intelligence operatives, the CIA, and Christopher Steele and more. Drawing on newly declassified records and findings from the Durham investigation, Lokhova also exposes the media's role in amplifying these falsehoods. Recommended by Rep. Devin Nunes, Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon, Sara A. Carter, and Dan Bongino—and first discussed on The Dennis Prager Show—this new edition features an extensive Foreword packed with fresh revelations about the conspirators and their cover-ups. This is the untold story of Spygate—and Lokhova's long fight for justice. 1840 PEMBROKE COLLEGE

[SEGMENT 2-1] Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Is it just me who doesn't give a crap about these two? I respect them in their crafts, but this fascination with this couple floors me. I feel like I'm watching some Teenie Bop TV show. You can't read a new summary without one of them being in it. I'm waiting for Swift to write songs about Kelce after they break up. When you are treated as an authority on everything because you can sing or catch a football, I lose interest. These are CHILDREN, with ideas that make no sense because they don't live in the real world. Make believe. I don't cheer for the demise of their relationship, but I wouldn't be mad if it happened, except that would dominate the news cycle for a month. Aren't ordinary people interesting? [SEGMENT 2-2] Sacramento Hollywood and the Homeless I think we have the solution to get rid of homelessness and urban blight in CA cities. Either invite Chinese dignitaries or make a Hollywood movie. https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2024/02/09/sacramento-takes-heat-for-clearing-out-homeless-for-leonardo-dicaprio-movie-shoot/ The City of Sacramento, California, is taking heat after clearing out all homeless people from a downtown park area ahead of its use for the filming of an upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio movie. The city started clearing out the homeless people living in tents in the park on Thursday after posting “attention to vacate” notices around the park, according to the Sacramento Bee. City officials also placed bright green warning stickers on at least six tents even as the area was still being drenched in the massive rain storms that battered the west coast earlier in the week. The warnings informed homeless people that they had 24 hours to vacate their areas in the park. Officials told the vacating campers that they could be sent to the Roseville Road shelter if they like. However, some homeless people claimed that they were not told that they could relocate to the Roseville Road shelter when officials began posting the notices to vacate. “It's terrible,” said homeless man Anji Baker. “We have nowhere to go. All our clothes and shoes are wet. We have no food.” “We've gotta put everything in the cart,” said Baker, a Sacramento native who became homeless four years ago. “It's gonna be heavy,” he said of the rains. Crystal Sanchez, president of the Sacramento Homeless Union, slammed the city for deposing the homeless just to film a movie. “It is asinine in the midst of an atmospheric storm, against federal laws and protections unhoused people are being moved and placed in greater danger for Hollywood to roll footage in Sacramento,” Sanchez told the paper. “The city permit should have not been issued without appropriately placing individuals in shelter as the city is well aware of the homeless crisis in the area.” The city is justifying the removal of the homeless by citing several ordinances that prohibits storing personal property on “critical infrastructure” and public property. The city also cites restrictions on setting up tents without a city permit. The city reported that the movie will be using several parts of the downtown area and will be filming car chases, gunfights, and even using helicopters for some scenes. “While the simulated elements may resemble real-life situations, the City and Sacramento Film + Media office wants the public to know that they're are part of a controlled production for entertainment purposes only,” Sacramento Film Commissioner Jennifer West said in a public announcement. The nature of the film, being labeled under the code name “BC Project,” has not been released, but it is known that it will star DiCaprio and being directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. [SEGMENT 2-3] Biden influence peddling I won't talk much about Nikki Haley. She's a non-factor. I prefer not to waste my time on insignificant things, or at least look for ways to show how the insignificant fits into the big picture. Haley is a RINO plant. A uniparty minion, and not worth our time. A cautionary tale for Trump in who he promotes. When I think of Haley I remember a post I wrote on James Comey. One of the best pieces, as it connects the dots on him and his relationship with the Clintons and how he ran a protection racket for them. I predicted the demise of Joe Biden. Hunter Biden is in serious trouble, but will be bailed out by Kamala Harris. The House has subpoenaed those involved with the Biden crime family, and the question is, “Will the Republicans go for the jugular?” They have a mountain of evidence against Biden. A report from Special Counsel John Durham last year concluded the FBI had no legitimate reason to open the investigation. Instead, it was used as a pretext for U.S. intelligence agencies and congressional Democrats to hamstring their political opposition with sham investigations and impeachment, effectively nullifying the 2016 election results. President Joe Biden continued to engage in global influence peddling schemes while serving in the Senate and White House. He met with his son's apparent foreign corruption cutouts countless times. Investigators on the House Oversight Committee have discovered more than 20 shell companies that Biden used to funnel upwards of $20 million from foreign oligarchs to the Bidens in exchange for preferential policies. On Tuesday, former Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski even told lawmakers that President Biden “sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government.” “Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family's business,” Bobulinski said. “He was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.” The House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government led by GOP Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan is also investigating the CIA's interference in the 2020 election. A report from the Weaponization Committee last May revealed the CIA's central role in soliciting signatures for the infamous letter signed by former intelligence officials who sought to discredit Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop as “Russian disinformation.” In December, Chairman Jordan sent a letter to CIA Director William Burns demanding to know how many of the letter's signatories were on the agency's payroll. “We understand that former intelligence officials often return to the intelligence community under private contract for their previous agencies,” Jordan wrote. “It is vital to the Committees' oversight to understand whether any of the signatories of the public statement were actively employed by CIA as contractors or consultants at the time they signed the public statement.” https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/13/chinese-firm-hunter-associate-millions-joe-biden-lunch-meeting/ Tony Bobulinski, another former Hunter Biden business partner, expressed a much less forgiving view of the Biden family's business interests in the opening statement he provided to lawmakers as he testified behind closed doors in Washington on Tuesday. “The Chinese Communist Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or ‘CEFC' – a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate – successfully

* Unveiling the Enigma: US DoD's Mysterious COVID-19 Research Contract in Ukraine – A Timeline That Defies the Pandemic Narrative!". * Our government lied to you about Covid-19!!!! They knew prior to any information being released to the public. This will explain the war in Ukraine once and for all. * In early January 2020, reports surfaced regarding a novel coronavirus, initially presenting as a pneumonia-like illness in Wuhan, China. However, the official designation of Covid-19 by the WHO did not occur until February 11, 2020. Curiously, US DOD, data indicates a contract awarded on November 12, 2019, to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for 'COVID-19 Research.' This timing predates both the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus and the official designation of Covid-19 by one and three months, respectively. * d official naming of Covid-19. Adding to the intrigue, the location specified for the Covid-19 research contract is Ukraine, a country entangled in geopolitical tensions where the US Military Industrial Complex is reportedly engaged in a proxy war against Russia. * CIA and foreign intelligence agencies illegally targeted 26 Trump associates before 2016 Russia collusion claims. Former CIA Director John Brennan identified and presented the targets to the US's intelligence-sharing partners in the so-called “Five Eyes” agencies – the intelligence-gathering organizations in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – according to a report published Monday on Michael Shellenberger's Public Substack. * Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to probation in 2021 after admitting that he falsified an e-mail to renew a wiretap against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. * Last March, Special Counsel John Durham concluded that the FBI investigation of Trump's alleged collusion with Russia was “seriously flawed” and had no basis in evidence, after a four-year review of the probe. * We are releasing information on a secret 2020 Election Day phone call organized by The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). * FOIA Documents Reveal Secret 2020 Election Day Meeting With CISA, Dominion, ES&S, ERIC, FBI, Leftist Organizations, State Officials, and Others. * We have evidence that a private meeting was organized by CISA officials on November 3, 2020, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time with select members of a secret “Election Security Initiative.” * The report revealed collusion between the US government (the FBI, DOJ, EAC, and CISA), with progressive groups and individuals fueled by progressive money related to US elections (like the Elections Group, CTCL, and Brennan Center), along with individuals from US corporations like Microsoft.

Roger Stone says Trump's fate rests in the hands of a partisan hack judge seeking to gag Trump in NY just as a federal prosecutors are trying to gag him in D.C.. These are obvious political prosecutions demonstrating that Trump is an existential threat to the status quo and they will use any trick in the book, including the weaponization and politicization of our judicial system to stop him. Stone wants to know why it took Special Counsel John Durham 5 years to tell us what we already knew, that there was no Russia collusion, but Trump has to be in court this year? Stone believes it's all about election interference especially after a poll showed Trump ahead in 5 battleground states. Stone doesn't think Biden will resign because he needs to maintain power to pardon himself, his brother, his son and other members of his family. He predicts Biden will simply be persuaded that he cannot run again and at that point Michelle Obama becomes the favorite with Gavin Newsom as VP. Biden is in no condition to run for re-election. He can barely stand up or string together a coherent sentence. The economy is a mess, we have an invasion at our southern border, we're supporting a losing war in Ukraine and we face potential WW3 in the Middle East. Stone says these are the darkest times he can ever remember in America. He urges people to pray for our country, pray for President Trump, and pray that this nation is saved.

House Judiciary Committee member Lance Gooden gives his takeaways from Special Counsel John Durham's testimony before the committee earlier this week. The Texas Congressman says that Durham's testimony left him with the impression that the “the FBI is really in a sad state. There is in fact, a two tiered justice system. And the FBI has a lot of rot that has not been fully taken out, and [Congress has] got a lot of work to do.” Gooden says, the FBI has repeatedly said that they have implemented reforms, commenting that he doesn't believe that, and “the American people don't believe that.” Saying, “and what a sad statement on a once respected institution, that being the FBI. The American people have lost faith. There was in fact, no collusion, no coordination, no Russian involvement with the Trump campaign. And the the, the just constant lies that we've seen from the other side, in the effort to take down President Trump before he even took office. For it to finally come out many years later, is I think redeeming but also very sad. I am just so disappointed. And in what I saw this week, and what Mr. Durham has been working on, I'm actually also very frustrated that it took this long to come out. But nonetheless, it did. And here we are in 2023, talking about something that happened back in 2016 but it's where we are.” Gooden says, Congress will use its power of the purse, to impose change on a seemingly unwilling FBI, since the appropriations process is “number one tool at” their disposal. Gooden says, this was shown “in the debt limit fight a few weeks ago, we got some concessions from Joe Biden, through that process, and the appropriations is really the only tool that the the party has when they only control one level of government.” Saying the GOP will also look to “the FISA court device authorization is also set to expire this year. So that's going to come up and there'll be a fight in the House over that as well, I don't think you'll see a clean reauthorization that we've seen in years past, there's going to need to be some serious reforms put into place before before that happens.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett and Jordy report on and dissect this week's most consequential political news. As if Part 1 of Trump's disastrous interview with Bret Baier wasn't humiliating enough, we now have clips from Part 2. If you thought it couldn't get any worse, just you wait… Meanwhile, the Republican Rake Steppers were out in full force this week, making complete fools of themselves and exposing their complete and utter ineptitude. Jim Jordan and House Republicans held a hearing with Special Counsel John Durham, which backfired on them and exposed the fraud behind their sham investigation to clear Trump of wrongdoing. To top it off, Kevin McCarthy held a vote to censure Rep. Adam Schiff and completely lost control of the House. But their buffoonery didn't end there. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert got in a profanity-laced fight on the House Floor, and new reporting reveals exactly what went down. And finally, Jack Smith is not wasting any time. Smith made a filing that details the first batch of evidence that has been provided to Trump's attorneys through the discovery process — and Trump immediately took to Truth Social to post a panicked rant showing his consciousness of guilt.

The Human Rights Campaign doesn't know what humans are. Congressman gets testy with former Special Counsel John Durham. Rightwing women are more attractive than leftwing women, according to a study. And something I heard the other night disturbed me. Also, a cameo from a special guest.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Lauren Kirchner, investigative reporter at Consumer Reports, to discuss her recent reporting on the chemicals known as PFAS. Then, Sam's joined by Alex Sammon, politics writer at Slate, to discuss his recent piece entitled "Want to Stare Into the Republican Soul in 2023?". Sam kicks off the show and reacts to yet another bombshell piece of reporting from ProPublica on Samuel Alito's previously undisclosed fishing trip to Alaska with hedge fund billionaire Peter Singer. The only difference is, this one came with a prebuttal Op-Ed from Justice Alito himself in the form of a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed. Then, Lauren joins the show to discuss the multi-district lawsuit involving PFAS, the "forever chemicals" that are used for non-stick purposes like Teflon and ScotchGard, and how the lawsuit is geared towards firefighting foam that has PFAS as its main ingredients, and that it's ultimately seeped into soil and drinking water. They then go into the origin of the phrase "forever chemicals", as well as one of the more notable litigation efforts against the usage of PFAS, as was the case in Ohio involving Dupont and the Teflon manufacturer 3M that was ultimately adapted into the film "Dirty Waters." Sam asks about EPA rule-making when it comes to PFAS, what the history of that has been, and what is being done now by Biden's EPA to limit the usage of PFAS. After diving into some more of the particulars of the current multi-district lawsuit, they finally dive into the history of the development of PFAS in the 1970's, and how 3M got involved with mainstreaming it, before 3M ultimately had to reveal to the EPA that a large majority of the population has PFAS within their bloodstream due to air and consumption exposure (even newborn babies are born with PFAS in their bloodstream!). Then, Alex joins the show to discuss his recent visit to a huge car dealer conference in Texas, the insane profit margins that car dealers have experienced especially since COVID started, and how they are underrated in how singular their political influence is in electoral politics, especially in Republican politics. Alex and Sam then discuss the unique campaign finance gambits that Ron DeSantis is engaging in with his presidential campaign and his "Never Back Down" Super PAC, and whether it's really "legal" or not. And in the Fun Half, Sam and the MR Crew take a look into the House Judiciary Committee hearing regarding Special Counsel John Durham and his investigation that yielded no convictions, part 2 of Trump's Fox interview with Bret Baier (a new sound drop emerges from these clips), Chris Christie shocks CNBC with how unlikable he is, and Sam's former Red Sox legend turned psychopath Curt Schilling really shows how far things have come since the 2004 miracle team by telling Jesse Watters (metaphorically!) that Republicans should take up arms against the left.

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they welcome Special Counsel John Durham's congressional testimony about the FBI's deeply flawed Crossfire Hurricane investigation and how the Bureau used information it knew was false to obtain FISA warrants on Trump campaign figures. They also appreciate Durham saying that a few cosmetic policy changes at the FBI won't solve anything, and that there needs to be much more accountability there - especially at the higher levels. They also cringe as the latest Washington, D.C. violent crime statistics show a big increase over last year and as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson prioritizes taxpayer-funded housing for illegal immigrants over addressing the Windy City's huge crime problem. Finally, they sigh as the latest testing shows 13-year-olds declined markedly in math and reading skills compared to testing done before the pandemic.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Special counsel John Durham testified before Congress twice over the last couple of days. He held a closed-door meeting with the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, and then an open meeting with the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. This all focused on the FBI and how political bias within the agency allowed a group of people to use their powers to spread lies about American citizens, launch investigations without evidence, carry out surveillance, and interfere with three elections in 2016, 2018, and 2020. In this episode of Crossroads, we'll speak about Durham's testimony and what the findings mean for the country. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/06/2023): 3:05pm- According to a report from Katelynn Richardson of The Daily Caller, “[a] federal judge sided Tuesday with families who sued over Florida's ban on gender transition procedures for minors, declaring that ‘gender identity is real.' A group of families, backed by several LGBT activist groups, sued Florida in March shortly after the rule restricting minors from accessing surgical sex change procedures, puberty blockers and hormone therapy took effect. Northern District of Florida Judge Robert L. Hinkle, a Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction against the law to prohibit it from being enforced against the plaintiffs, and proceeded to make the claim that ‘great weight of medical authority supports these treatments.'” You can read Richardson's full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2023/06/06/judge-gender-identity-florida-injunction/ 3:30pm- While speaking with the press, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby refused to answer questions about a Washington Post report that stated the United States had intelligence detailing a Ukrainian plot to attack the Nord Stream pipeline three months before it was ultimately attacked. 3:40pm- Aaron Maté—journalist at RealClearInvestigation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Russiagate Prober Durham Neglected DNC Hack Claim, Despite Evidence It Too Was a Democrat Sham.” Maté writes: “Special Counsel John Durham's final report faults the FBI for opening the Trump-Russia collusion investigation on baseless grounds and relying on Hillary Clinton-funded material to pursue it, all while ignoring a warning that Clinton was plotting to frame Trump as a Russian asset. Yet Durham does not address the Clinton campaign's equally central tie to Russiagate's other foundational allegation: that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by hacking Democratic party servers and releasing the material through Wikileaks to help elect Trump.” You can read Maté's full article here: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/06/06/what_durham_skipped_903673.html 4:05pm- Jed Rubenfeld—Professor at Yale Law School & First Amendment expert—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial in The Wall Street Journal, “The Big Tech Censorship Machine is Running in 2024.” Professor Rubenfeld writes, “Meta slapped 180-day suspensions last week on the Instagram accounts of people working for Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign—before a single message had been posted from those accounts. This came shortly after LinkedIn shut down Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's account, apparently for expressing disfavored opinions on China and climate change. This censorship should worry anyone who cares about democracy in America. It isn't only antidemocratic; it's a thumb on the scale that could easily tip a tightly contested election.” You can read Professor Rubenfeld's full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-censorship-machine-is-running-in-2024-ramaswamy-rfk-jr-election-campaign-linkedin-meta-twitter-462f8aae?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 4:25pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) predicted that the Department of Justice will indict former President Donald Trump—citing Attorney General Merrick Garland's strong dislike for Trump. 4:35pm- On Monday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer viewed, and was briefed on, a subpoenaed document that allegedly shows members of the Biden family benefited financially from relationships with overseas companies in exchange for foreign influence while Joe Biden was serving as Vice President of the United States. Speaking with the press, Comer pledged to hold Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress for not surrendering the document. Will Wray be held accountable for not complying with the subpoena? Why isn't the mainstream media expressing any interest in this story?

What about Sasquatch? 5:40pm- While speaking with CNN Pentagon correspondent Oren Liebermann, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said accusations that the military has embraced “woke” ideology are “grossly over exaggerated.” Today is the 79th Anniversary of D-Day—June 6th, 1944, when “more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline, to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France.” You can read more here: https://www.army.mil/d-day/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: According to a report from Katelynn Richardson of The Daily Caller, “[a] federal judge sided Tuesday with families who sued over Florida's ban on gender transition procedures for minors, declaring that ‘gender identity is real.' A group of families, backed by several LGBT activist groups, sued Florida in March shortly after the rule restricting minors from accessing surgical sex change procedures, puberty blockers and hormone therapy took effect. Northern District of Florida Judge Robert L. Hinkle, a Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction against the law to prohibit it from being enforced against the plaintiffs, and proceeded to make the claim that ‘great weight of medical authority supports these treatments.'” You can read Richardson's full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2023/06/06/judge-gender-identity-florida-injunction/ While speaking with the press, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby refused to answer questions about a Washington Post report that stated the United States had intelligence detailing a Ukrainian plot to attack the Nord Stream pipeline three months before it was ultimately attacked. Aaron Maté—journalist at RealClearInvestigation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Russiagate Prober Durham Neglected DNC Hack Claim, Despite Evidence It Too Was a Democrat Sham.” Maté writes: “Special Counsel John Durham's final report faults the FBI for opening the Trump-Russia collusion investigation on baseless grounds and relying on Hillary Clinton-funded material to pursue it, all while ignoring a warning that Clinton was plotting to frame Trump as a Russian asset. Yet Durham does not address the Clinton campaign's equally central tie to Russiagate's other foundational allegation: that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by hacking Democratic party servers and releasing the material through Wikileaks to help elect Trump.” You can read Maté's full article here: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/06/06/what_durham_skipped_903673.html

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were reunited to celebrate Alan's gradual physical and mental decline, and to talk over the week in national security news, including:“Fear of Flying.” President Biden finally greenlit the transfer of F-16s to Ukraine, despite Russia's warnings—just as the siege at Bakhmut signals a brutal new phase of the conflict. Is this the right move? Or is the risk of escalation too great?“Big Sky, Closed Borders.” Social media company TikTok is challenging a new Montana law barring its use in the state on a variety of constitutional grounds, including the First Amendment and foreign affairs preemption. Are there legal barriers to state efforts to regulate platforms like TikTok? Or does Montana have the better arguments?“Putting the ‘Err' in Durham.” Special Counsel John Durham has released the final report of his investigation into the original of the FBI investigation into possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia. And while the report has some celebrating, it's left many others scratching their heads.For object lessons, Alan shared his favorite birthday present: the brownie edge pan his wife got him. Quinta passed along a true D.C. story from a concert she saw the night before, involving The National and a former Deputy Solicitor General. And Scott recommended Patrick Weil's new book, “The Madman in the White House,” an eclectic biography of an eclectic biography: a psychoanalysis of Woodrow Wilson, written by Ambassador William Bullitt and Sigmund Freud, lost for more than seventy years and recently found.Here are links to some other pieces we mentioned in this episode:New York Times: "The Battle for Bakhmut"ClickHole: "Legal Bombshell: Mueller Flipped Trump's Confidant's Lawyer's Friend's Associate Gorpman (Who Could Testify Against Bleemer!)

The second to last Q drop of 2020 consisted of just one word: “Durham.” This referred to Special Counsel John Durham, who was tasked with investigating the origins of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI investigation into possible Trump Russia links. After three and a half years, the investigation ended with just one guilty plea from an ex FBI lawyer and a report that scolds the FBI's actions. Today, we're going to take a look at some of the contents of that report and how the QAnon community is reacting. We'll also speculate if this means we can move on from Trump's election, or if we are all doomed to live in 2016 forever.

It simply doesn't get more serious than this.

They would do this but NOT agitate January 6?They would do this but NOT let criminals walk across the border destabilize this Country?They would do this but NOT cover-up the Biden crime family having a prostitution ring as part of their web of LLC designed for illegal money-laundering?There is much more today . . .

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/17/2023): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, former City Councilmember Cherelle Parker won the Democrat mayoral primary in Philadelphia—and is expected to win the city's general election in November. She would be the first woman to become Philadelphia Mayor. Notably, Parker campaigned on ending safe injection sites, restoring stop-and-frisk policies, and hiring more police officers to help combat crime throughout the city. With 87% of the total vote reported, Parker received 33% of the vote. Meanwhile, despite support from Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), progressive candidate Helen Gym earned just 21.3% of the vote.

Dr. Reilly adroitly explains, “I go to bars in a shirt that says, ‘Here to Fist-Fight,' but I am sick of all these fights.” 5:20pm- In a newly released 328-page report compiled by Senator Marco Rubio's (R-FL) office revealed that just prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Chinese government officials pressured bio-labs to produce breakthrough medical advancements regardless of safety concerns. The report also concluded that COVID-19 likely originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 5:40pm- John Yoo— the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley & a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Special Counsel John Durham's report which concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not have sufficient reason to launch an investigation into unsupported allegations that there were ties between Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian officials. Will anyone be held accountable? 6:05pm- On Wednesday, Montana became the first state to ban the China-based social media application TikTok when Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill into law.

Sullivan of NJ.com writes: “A new law limiting concealed carry of guns in New Jersey suffered another defeat in federal court Tuesday as a judge ordered state officials not to enforce its tight restrictions pending a flurry of legal challenges from gun rights advocates. The ruling means New Jerseyans with proper permits are free to concealed-carry handguns at beaches, public parks, bars and restaurants—places from where Gov. Phil Murphy…sought to ban firearms in an effort to curb gun violence.” You can read Sullivan's full article here: https://www.nj.com/news/2023/05/gun-rights-advocates-win-major-challenge-to-njs-tough-concealed-carry-law.html

Rep. Lance Gooden discusses the bombshell report released this week from Special Counsel John Durham and its revelations of “why Democrats felt the need to spend so much money and time peddling lies.” The Texas Congressman says that the releasing of the Durham report “was a big day, not just for truth, and hopefully consequences. But for Donald Trump and his road back to the White House.” Commenting that he thinks, “that every week it seems as if there is a legal victory for President Trump, even some that don't seem like victories. But this, definitely yesterday was a big deal.” The member of the House Judiciary Committee reveals that the committee, has requested a “visit with Mr. Durham in person.” Saying, “We invited him to come next week to testify before our committee, I suspect that we'll get a firm date nailed down in the coming days, and we can put that hearing date on the calendar. But I think the American people deserve to hear more, and deserve to know exactly what happened with this, and why Democrats felt the need to spend so much money and time peddling lies, in their attempt to cripple the presidency. I just think it's pretty un-American some of the things that took place during the Trump years and I I hope we never get to that point again, in this nation.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Tuesday, Special Counsel John Durham released his long-awaited report, stating that there was never any verifiable evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign and the whole operation was concocted by the Hillary Clinton campaign because it wanted to distract voters from own scandal of keeping classified documents on a private server. So, just as Sara reported several years ago, there was no collusion and this was all an attempt to help elect Hillary Clinton and then undermine the Trump presidency.But if the government can target the President of the United States over baseless lies, what do you think it can do to you and your family or your business?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are endorsing progressive candidate Helen Gym for Philadelphia Mayor. On Saturday, the two prominent politicians attended a rally to benefit Gym—the rally was held at Franklin Music Hall in Spring Garden. Could these major endorsements give Gym an edge in Tuesday's mayoral primary? In a 300+ page report, Special Counsel John Durham concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not have sufficient reason to launch an investigation into unfounded allegations that there were ties between Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian officials. In August 1975, Senator Frank Church appeared on Meet the Press and discussed surveillance technology being used by the American government to monitor foreign enemies—but he warned that it could, in the future, be used by the government to infringe upon the rights of American citizens. His warnings proved to be prophetic. Will the revelations in John Durham's newly released report finally result in unelected officials within the federal government having their unchecked power curtailed? While speaking with Jesse Waters on Fox News, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said: “we need to end the FBI as we know it” in light of John Durham's revelation that elements of the federal government were weaponized—for political purposes—against Donald Trump and his campaign in 2016. FLASHBACK: In July 2017, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi claimed there was “cold hard evidence” that the 2016 Trump presidential campaign worked with Russian officials.

Earlier this month, House Republicans passed legislation that would cut long-term federal spending while concurrently raising the federal debt limit. 4:15pm- While speaking at Howard University over the weekend, President Joe Biden proclaimed that the greatest threat to America is white supremacy. 4:35pm- Eli Lake—Contributing Editor at Commentary Magazine & Host of “The Re-Education Podcast”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss John Durham's report indicating the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not have sufficient reason to launch an investigation into groundless allegations that there were ties between Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian officials. What can be done to curtail the FBI's, seemingly habitual, abuse of power moving forward?

Rich reviews AOC's speech…the audio is unbelievably weird… 6:05pm- Left-wing media members, like MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, are attempting to dismiss the findings of John Durham's groundbreaking report which indicates improper action by FBI officials during the 2016 presidential election. 6:15pm- FLASHBACK: In July 2017, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed there was “cold hard evidence” that the 2016 Trump presidential campaign worked with Russian officials. PLUS, a three-minute montage of Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) from March 2017 to July 2019 baselessly claiming he saw irrefutable evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. 6:40pm- According to recent polling, Helen Gym is the front runner in Tuesday's Philadelphia Democrat mayoral primary race.

Special Counsel John Durham concluded that the FBI used “raw, unanalyzed and uncorroborated intelligence” to launch an investigation into former President Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 election. Former FBI Deputy Director and CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Andrew McCabe was mentioned in Durham's report. He joins AC360 to discuss the findings and why he “vehemently” disagrees with the way Durham's characterizes what the FBI did. Plus, the four University of Idaho students who were fatally stabbed in their off-campus house last year were remembered for their “strength and inspiration” during the weekend's graduation ceremonies.

Special Counsel John Durham finishes his 306-page report on the FBI's 2016 investigation into Donald Trump and Russia. The document sheds more light on the flimsiness of the "Steele dossier," while arguing that the bureau opened the Trump inquiry without any real evidence. In response, some Republicans are saying it's past time to clean house at the FBI. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join Jim and Greg as they recount and analyze the key findings of Special Counsel John Durham, who has been investigating the FBI's premise for launching the investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 elections. The conclusions are devastating to any remaining shreds of trust in our government: the collusion canard was created by the Hillary Clinton campaign and fed to the FBI, which launched a probe without a single piece of verifiable evidence. The Steele dossier was known to be false by late 2016 and yet top officials at the FBI and Justice Department signed off on FISA warrants that they knew were based on lies, and the Mueller investigation was launched under the same false pretenses. Jim and Greg have a lot to say about this. They also take a closer look at the publicly fraying relationship between President Biden and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, as the illegal immigration crisis engulfs the Big Apple and many other parts of the nation. Finally, they examine the pathetically low ratings of CNN, which is getting mauled by Fox News and MSNBC, and is now losing to NewsMax in prime time.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

In terms of sheer numbers of ships, the PLA-Navy surpassed the U.S. Navy several years ago, but how impactful are pure numbers when it comes to maritime warfare superiority? Can today’s Chinese Navy outperform or even destroy the U.S. Navy? However unlikely this may be, it is certain to be a possibility being closely studied at the Pentagon. Do sheer numbers equate to or parallel technological sophistication? Certainly “mass still matters,” to reference the famous concept expressed by Sun Tzu, yet several critical modern variables such as sensor and weapons range, multi-domain networking, and the effective use of unmanned systems could definitely offset or even counter any numerical advantage. The U.S. Navy, for example, operates 11 aircraft carriers, is fast adding a new fleet of unmanned surface and undersea vessels, and is arming its warships with a wide range of advanced technologies including laser weapons, next-generation electronic warfare (EW), and an unprecedented ability to launch and control a small fleet of unmanned systems. The U.S. Navy has also demonstrated breakthrough technologies with multi-domain networking, AI-enabled autonomous platforms, and course-adjusting weapons such as the Tactical Tomahawk, which can re-route as needed in-fight to hit moving targets at sea. The specifics of China’s technological sophistication may be tough to fully assess, yet there is little doubt that the PLA-Navy is trying to challenge and ultimately surpass the U.S. Navy in terms of both size and capability. China’s shipbuilding ambitions and pace of construction may be difficult for the U.S. to match. For instance, multiple reports say China is on pace to double its fleet of destroyers within just the next five years. The concern, however, is by no means restricted to pure numbers but also grounded in uncertainties related to the relative sophistication and capability of China’s new destroyers. Having more destroyers does not necessarily equate to maritime superiority if they cannot compete with the range, precision, networking, and overall capability of U.S. destroyers. The U.S. Navy does have as many as 10 DDG Flight III destroyers under contract and is moving quickly to modernize its sensors, radar systems, computing, and ship-integrated weapons. https://thepostmillennial.com/eric-adams-wants-to-revoke-nycs-sanctuary-city-status-amid-massive-migrant-influx?utm_campaign=64487 Eric Adams wants to revoke NYC's 'sanctuary city' status amid massive migrant influx As New York City deals with a massive influx of illegal immigrants, Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday said he was asking a judge to revisit the city’s sanctuary city law. "The law of sanctuary city was in place long before I became mayor. I’m following the law. As a law enforcement person, you know, we follow the law," Adams said. "We are now in court now, today, asking the judge to revisit this law to deal with this humanitarian crisis because, even when they decided to put in place that law, no one thought they would be dealing with a humanitarian crisis of this proportion." The statement comes as hotels in Upstate New York have canceled pre-booked hotel rooms and booted homeless veterans to make space for Adams’ migrants. The Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh, New York abruptly canceled a Florida couple’s 30-room reservation made for their wedding, made a few months ago to accommodate traveling guests. 35-year-old Deanna Mifsud and 37-year-old Gary Moretti intend to get married on June 24 in upstate Wallkill, New York, and made the reservation at the hotel because it was 20 minutes away. Their reservation was canceled, with no help from the hotel staff. Another pair to be married from Queens said Crossroads also canceled their May 20 reservation. Also in Newburgh, homeless veterans staying in multiple hotels were told by staff that their temporary housing would not be extended and they would have to leave immediately. The city of Newburgh, which is roughly 60 miles north of New York City, has become the staging ground for illegal immigrants in the state as Mayor Eric Adams continues to transport them into the county from New York City. Adams signed an emergency declaration on Wednesday, ahead of Title 42’s expiration, suspending the city’s right-to-shelter rules that find private rooms for illegal immigrants immediately, according to CBS News. Regarding the emergency declaration, Adams said on Thursday, "this was a hard decision, but it's the right decision, that this is just wrong what is happening to New York City. It's wrong and no one seems to care, but I care. And it was a challenging thing to do, but we're doing the right thing. No one thought about a humanitarian crisis when they first took this court case of right-to-shelter." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/durham-doj-fbi-failed-uphold-mission-strict-fidelity-law-trump-russia-probe Durham finds DOJ, FBI 'failed to uphold' mission of 'strict fidelity to the law' in Trump-Russia probe Special Counsel John Durham found that the Department of Justice and FBI "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" when it launched the Trump-Russia investigation. Fox News Digital obtained Durham’s report Monday afternoon after his years-long investigation into the origins of the FBI’s original investigation, known as "Crossfire Hurricane." That investigation looked into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. Durham gave his final report to the Justice Department, which released it Monday afternoon. The report spans more than 300 pages. Durham said his investigation also revealed that "senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically-affiliated persons and entities." Durham is referring to past FBI leadership in his report – specifically former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Reacting to the report, the FBI said in a statement: "The conduct in 2016 and 2017 that Special Counsel Durham examined was the reason that current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which have now been in place for some time. Had those reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented. This report reinforces the importance of ensuring the FBI continues to do its work with the rigor, objectivity, and professionalism the American people deserve and rightly expect." Still, Durham said there is a "continuing need for the FBI and the Department to recognize that lack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willigness to rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents caused investigators to fail to adequately consider alternative hypotheses and to act without appropriate objectivity or restraint in pursuing allegations of collusion or conspiracy between a U.S. political campaign and a foreign power." Special Counsel Robert Mueller completed his investigation into a possible Trump-Russia connection in April 2019, which yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 election. Durham indicted three people as part of his investigation: former Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann in September 2021, Igor Danchenko in November 2021 and Kevin Clinesmith in August 2020. And now this!!! https://www.conservativereview.com/netflix-s-woke-queen-cleopatra-bombs-gets-2-average-audience-score-2660240969.html Netflix's woke 'Queen Cleopatra' bombs, gets 2% average audience score Cleopatra, the last ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt, is said to have killed herself with poison. Netflix's new series about the historic figure similarly did itself in, albeit by other means. The series, which debuted on May 10 and is #6 in Netflix's Top 10 list, presently has a 2% average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and an average critic score of 11%. The show did not fare better with reviewers on IMDB, where it has a 1.1 out of 10 rating. As of the time of publication, 94.2% (around 37,000) of the approximately 39,000 ratings the show received gave it the lowest possible review. Forbes noted, "Fans usually rate things higher than critics, even bad shows, and the point being, a 1% audience score seems borderline mathematically impossible, even with the controversy the film has attracted." While Adele James may be a talented dramatist, the decision to cast the black actress in the role and the show's corresponding ahistorical framing have proven contentious in recent months. TheBlaze previously reported that after the trailer for the show was released, the project was widely lambasted on social media for portraying the historical figure as black. Cleopatra was of Macedonian Greek descent. "From Executive Producer Jada Pinkett Smith comes a new documentary series exploring the lives of prominent and iconic African Queens," reads the description of the movie from the Netflix YouTube account. A voiceover in the trailer says, "I remember my grandmother saying to me, 'I don’t care what they tell you in school. Cleopatra was black.'" The casting decision was widely criticized, especially in light of the claim that the series would be a documentary — and therefore correspond in some way with historical reality. One popular response to the announcement read, "Egypt is diverse in skin colors, there’s no one Egyptian look so you could do a documentary about black Egyptian rulers but Cleopatra was of Greek ancestry and presenting her story as a battle between native Egyptians and the oppressive Roman tyrants is extremely anachronistic." The BBC reported that Zahi Hawass, a prominent Egyptologist and former antiquities minister, spoke out against the show, saying, "This is completely fake. Cleopatra was Greek, meaning that she was light-skinned, not black." "Netflix is trying to provoke confusion by spreading false and deceptive facts that the origin of the Egyptian civilisation is black," added Hawass, who indicated that the only known black rulers of Egypt were the Kushite kings of the 26th Dynasty (747-656 B.C.). Others accused the streaming service of cultural appropriation and historical revisionism. While some argued that any actor could play the role, Jada Pinkett Smith, an executive producer and narrator on the project, said of the casting decision, "We don't often get to see or hear stories about black queens, and that was really important for me." Tina Gharvi, the show's director, made clear ahead of time that her intentions were ideological.

Gaslit Nation has been studying Russian oligarch-aiding FBI traitors since our podcast launched in 2018, and what did we get for our diligent efforts? Yet another traitor! This week we discuss the indictment of Charlie McGonigal, the former top counterintelligence official in the New York field office who was secretly working for mega-oligarch Oleg Deripaska while pretending to investigate him. (You may remember Deripaska from our classic T-shirt slogan “You can't make a deal with the guy who won the aluminum wars in the car bomb 1990s in Russia, you just can't.” Rolls right off the tongue!)   We analyze the McGonigal case in the context of familiar Gaslit Nation topics – the top heads of the FBI who went on to work for the Russian mafia, how James Comey betrayed America to serve Semyon Mogilevich, the strange behavior of the FBI and the media during the 2016 election, the partnership between Deripaska and Paul Manafort, the partnership between Deripaska and Mitch McConnell, the desire of McConnell to make Merrick Garland head of the FBI as all this illegal activity was transpiring, and how the McGonigal case and general FBI treason affects Russia's war on Ukraine. This episode was recorded during our second ever Gaslit Nation Live Event and we thank everyone who showed up for this historic occasion!   For our bonus, which will be out on Friday, we answered a LOT of questions from our Patreon subscribers! You can listen to our Q & As if you subscribe at the Truth-Teller level or higher, and you can send in your own question and get it answered in depth by subscribing at the Democracy Defender level or higher.   Times are tough in media, politics, and life and we are VERY grateful to you for keeping our show going!

Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss in this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast.  The full episode covers: – The January 6 Committee's subpoena to Trump for testimony and document production;  – Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's decision to temporarily freeze the subpoena to Senator Lindsey Graham from a Georgia grand jury in the investigation into interference in the 2020 election;  – The reports indicating that prosecutors believe there is sufficient evidence to charge Trump with obstruction in relation to the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation; and – Special Counsel John Durham's failed prosecution of an analyst who contributed to the Steele Dossier.
