On a side note. Lawyers For The DNC Argue That Primary Rigging Is Protected By The First Amendment.

The ongoing litigation of the DNC Fraud Lawsuit and the appeal regarding its dismissal took a stunning turn yesterday. The defendants in the case, including the DNC and former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, filed a response brief that left many observers of the case at a loss for words.

The documents provided by the law offices of the Attorneys for the Plaintiffs in the case, Jared and Elizabeth Beck, and appears to argue that if the Democratic Party did cheat Sanders in the 2016 Presidential primary race, then that action was protected under the first amendment. Twitter users were quick to respond to the brief, expressing outrage and disgust at the claims made by representatives of the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

At a loss for words.

@snoopydawg but the lawyers certainly aren't. What an imposingly pungent example of legalistic bullshit.

...the entire time, spying on the Russians. I don't understand why this happened, unless the FBI thought he had gone over to the dark side.

He is who the democrats have focused on as the reason the FBI got the FISA warrant on to wiretap the Trump campaign, not because of the Steele dossier. The FBI first started looking at him because of his ties to Russia when he had business with Russia and because of his pro Russian stance. This was in 2013 and the FBI had gotten two warrants before the last one that they got after he left the Trump campaign.

Source

Page served as a foreign-policy advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 Presidential campaign. In September 2016, U.S. intelligence officials investigated alleged contacts between Page and Russian officials subject to U.S. sanctions, including Igor Sechin, the president of state-run Russian oil conglomerate Rosneft. After news reports began to appear describing Page's links to Russia and Putin's government, Page stepped down from his role in the Trump campaign.

Shortly after Page resigned from the Trump campaign, the Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained a warrant from the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in October 2016 to surveil Page's communications. To issue the warrant, a federal judge concluded there was probable cause to believe that Page was a foreign agent knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence for the Russian government. Page was the only American who was directly targeted with a FISA warrant in 2016 as part of the Russia probe, and the initial 90-day warrant was subsequently renewed at least three times, as disclosed in the Nunes memo.

So Page had left the Trump campaign before the warrant was taken out right? To surveil his communications with whom? He wasn't part of the campaign anymore. So how was the FBI able to spy on the campaign if Page had nothing to do with it unless it was because of the Steele dossier as the Nunes memo states. As both Comey and McCabe testified to.

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong because I'm not buying into what the democrats are trying to prove.

Thoughts?

@Mike Taylor

not to mention deleting 33,000 subpoenaed emails

Because I'm pretty sure that if I get subpoenaed and I tell the judge, "Fuck You!" the judge is probably not just going to say, "Well OK then. Too bad he wouldn't obey the court order."

Stuff like that is worth mentioning because it so clearly points out the true nature of our "judicial" system.

At the very minimum, Hillary should've lost her security clearance for doing State dept business on her private server (not to mention deleting 33,000 subpoenaed emails). The loss of her security clearance would have made her ineligible to run for president (or run in the democratic presidential primaries).
The greatest example of election (and primary) rigging/meddling was done by the Obama FBI and DOJ, by allowing Hillary to keep her security clearance (with the obvious intent of allowing Hillary to stay in the race). If justice had been done (revoking Hillary's security clearance), she would have been ineligible to run for president.
But everybody is being smothered by so much BS that they can't see this most undeniable example of 'election meddling/rigging'.
The Deep State is doing a good job covering their tracks.

group regarding Yanukovych?

Lemme dig that up...

In other news, Manafort & Gates were partnered with the Podesta Group in this anti-American endeavor:

Manafort’s work in Ukraine played a role in his ouster last August from Trump’s campaign. At the time, The Associated Press reported that Manafort, working for pro-Russian Ukrainian politician Viktor Yanukovych, secretly supervised the lobbying campaign funneled through a Brussels think tank.

The AP obtained emails showing that Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, directed the work of the Podesta Group and another lobbying firm, Mercury.

Podesta Group CEO Kimberly Fritts said in a statement that the firm relied on assurances from the think tank, the European Centre for Modern Ukraine, that it was not controlled or financed by a foreign government or political party. Based on that information, the firm disclosed its work to Congress rather than to the Justice Department.

Mercury partner Michael McKeon said the firm is working with DOJ to finalize its own filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, “which will be completed in a timely fashion."

Finalize their filing... 9 months after the election.
@Pluto's Republic

...comes from the Magnitsky Act and the ensuing sanctions. Without getting into what a hoax that was:

Corrupt Clinton supporters in the Obama administration along with deep state Neocons concocted RussiaGate early in the campaign. No matter who won the election, it could be used gin up a war with Russia, which is deemed necessary in order to crush the rise of Eurasia and preserve the Petrodollar.

The Magnitsky mess got mixed into RussiaGate because Veselnitskaya wanted to come to the US to lobby Trump about the Magnitsky act. Her job is to lobby against it on behalf of her clients who were caught up in the sanctions. So she conned Donald Trump Jr. with a bogus offer of dirt on Hillary, no doubt picked up by US surveillance. She is known in Washington as a lobbyist, not a spy. The DOJ moved quickly to grant her a special visa. She came in through DC, then traveled to NY for the Trump meeting, before returning to DC. Naturally, this meeting, which ended up focused on the Magnitsky Act rather than Hillary, resulted in a smear campaign against Trump.

The interesting thing is the fact that Veselnitskaya and the Clinton campaign were both clients of Fusion GPS. Veselnitskaya was at their Washington office both before and after the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. Did Fusion GPS weaponize Veselnitskaya as part of the job they were doing for the Clinton campaign? At the same time, the wife of the DOJ lead counsel targeting Trump, is working at Fusion GPS, rewriting the nasty Trump Dossier so that it reads like an Intelligence report.

No matter the outcome, the big loser is the American people. They know they are losers, they just don't know why.

@Lookout

Boils down to a charge of inciting democracy; accusations of Russians suggesting that people could vote for better and more survivable electoral choices outside the appalling PTB-selected corporate candidates and that civil forces shouldn't be routinely abusing and killing citizens. And trying to imply that Non-Billionaire-Americans can't think and decide for themselves but must be controlled by their 'betters'.

I think we know the answer....they would never report on their own failure.

Any rational person who compares the few troll created facebook click bait ads to the massive coverage T-rump got for free from the MSM would conclude which had the greatest impact...and needless to say it ain't the click bait.

As someone said earlier the $hill didn't bother to campaign in MI nor WI, both primaries which she lost to Bernie.

The entire Russia issue is moot not only for the two reason above but also because Russia didn't hack the DNC! Yet it is reported as fact across the media.

The American public has been reduced to lemmings rushing headlong into permanent warfare without a thought. All the while argueing about the role of Russia.

Thanks for the essay and info Snoopy D!
