Oh, there are plenty of them...

No, Robert Mueller And James Comey Aren’t Heroes

The former FBI directors have acceded to numerous wrongful abuses of power in the post-9/11 era.

[www.huffingtonpost.com]

Commentators display amnesia when they describe former FBI Directors Robert Mueller and James Comey as stellar and credible law enforcement figures. Perhaps if they included J. Edgar Hoover, such fulsome praise could be put into proper perspective. Although these Hoover successors, now occupying center stage in the investigation of President Trump, have been hailed for their impeccable character by much of official Washington, the truth is, as top law enforcement officials of the Bush administration (Mueller as FBI Director and James Comey as Deputy Attorney General), both presided over post-9/11 cover-ups and secret abuses of the Constitution, enabled Bush-Cheney fabrications to launch wrongful wars, and exhibited plain vanilla incompetence.

TIME Magazine would probably have not called my own disclosures a “bombshell memo” to the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry in May 2002 if it had not been for Mueller’s having so misled everyone after 9/11. Although he bore no personal responsibility for intelligence failures before the attack, since he only became FBI Director a week before, Mueller denied or downplayed the significance of warnings that had poured in yet were all ignored or mishandled during the spring and summer of 2001. Bush administration officials had circled the wagons and refused to publicly own up to what the 9/11 Commission eventually concluded, “that the system had been blinking red.” Failures to read, share or act upon important intelligence, which a FBI agent witness termed “criminal negligence” in later trial testimony, were therefore not fixed in a timely manner. (Actually some failures were never fixed.) Worse, Bush and Cheney used that post-9/11 period of obfuscation to “roll out” their misbegotten “war on terror,” which only served to exponentially increase worldwide terrorism.

I wanted to believe Director Mueller when he expressed some regret in our personal meeting the night before we both testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He told me he was seeking improvements and that I should not hesitate to contact him if I ever witnessed a situation as that behind the FBI’s pre-9/11 failures. A few months later, when it appeared he was acceding to Bush-Cheney’s ginning up intelligence to launch the unjustified, counterproductive and illegal war on Iraq, I took Mueller up on his offer, emailing him my concerns in late February 2003. Mueller knew, for instance, that Cheney’s claims connecting 9/11 to Iraq were bogus yet he remained quiet. He also never responded to my email.

In the aftermath of the attacks, Mueller directed the “post-9/11 round-up” of around 1,000 immigrants who mostly happened to be in the wrong place (NYC area) at the wrong time, as FBI Headquarters encouraged more and more detentions for what seemed to be essentially PR purposes. Field offices were required to report daily the number of detentions in order to supply grist for FBI press releases about FBI “progress” in fighting terrorism. Consequently, some of the detainees were brutalized and jailed for up to a year despite the fact that none turned out to be terrorists.

(This is a biggie - framing and wrongful conviction of four guys)

Long before he became FBI Director, serious questions existed about Mueller’s role as Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston in effectively enabling decades of corruption and covering up of the FBI’s illicit deals with mobster Whitey Bulger and other “top echelon” informants who committed numerous murders and crimes. When the truth was finally uncovered through intrepid investigative reporting and persistent, honest judges, U.S. taxpayers footed a $100 million court award to the four men framed for murders committed by (the FBI operated) Bulger gang.

Current media applause omits the fact that former FBI Director Mueller was the top official in charge of the Anthrax terror fiasco investigation into the 2001 murders, which targeted an innocent man (Steven Hatfill) whose lawsuit eventually forced the FBI to pay $5 million in compensation. Mueller’s FBI was also severely criticized by Department of Justice Inspector Generals finding the FBI overstepped the law improperly serving hundreds of thousands of “national security letters” to obtain private (and irrelevant) metadata on citizens, and for infiltrating nonviolent anti-war groups under the guise of investigating “terrorism.”

For his part, Deputy Attorney General James Comey, too, went along with Bush and Cheney after 9/11 and signed off on a number of highly illegal programs including warrantless surveillance of Americans and torture of captives. Comey also defended the Bush administration’s three year-long detention of an American citizen without charges or right to counsel.

Up to the March 2004 night in Attorney General John Ashcroft’s hospital room, both Comey and Mueller were complicit with implementing a form of martial law, perpetrated via secret Office of Legal Counsel memos mainly written by John Yoo and predicated upon Yoo’s singular theories of absolute “imperial” or “war presidency” powers, and requiring Ashcroft every 90 days to renew certification of a “state of emergency.” What’s not well understood is that Comey and Mueller’s joint intervention to stop Bush’s men from forcing the sick AG to sign that night was a short-lived moment. A few days later, they all simply went back to the drawing board to draft new legal loopholes to continue the same (unconstitutional) surveillance of Americans. The mythology of this episode, repeated endlessly throughout the press, is that Comey and Mueller did something significant and lasting in that hospital room. They didn’t. Only the legal rationale for their unconstitutional actions was tweaked.

Mueller was even OK with the CIA conducting torture programs after his own agents warned against participation. Agents were simply instructed not to document such torture, and any “war crimes files” were made to disappear. Not only did “collect it all” surveillance and torture programs continue, but Mueller’s (and then Comey’s) FBI later worked to prosecute NSA and CIA whistleblowers who revealed these illegalities.

Neither Comey nor Mueller—who are reported to be “joined at the hip”—deserve their current lionization among politicians and mainstream media. Instead of Jimmy Stewart-like ‘G-men’ with reputations for principled integrity, the two close confidants and collaborators merely proved themselves, along with former CIA Director George “Slam Dunk” Tenet, reliably politicized sycophants, enmeshing themselves in a series of wrongful abuses of power along with official incompetence.

It seems clear that based on his history and close “partnership” with Comey, “one of the closest working relationships the top ranks of the Justice Department have ever seen,” Mueller was chosen as Special Counsel not because he has integrity but because he will do what the powerful want him to do. He didn’t speak the truth about a war he knew to be unjustified. He didn’t speak out against torture. He didn’t speak out against unconstitutional surveillance. And he didn’t tell the truth about 9/11. He is just their man.

Coleen Rowley, a retired FBI special agent and division legal counsel whose May 2002 memo to then-FBI Director Robert Mueller exposed some of the FBI’s pre-9/11 failures, was named one of TIME magazine’s “Persons of the Year” in 2002. Her 2003 letter to Robert Mueller in opposition to launching the Iraq War is archived in full text on the NYT and her 2013 op-ed entitled “Questions for the FBI Nominee” was published on the day of James Comey’s confirmation hearing. This piece will also be cross-posted on Consortiumnews.com.

Hey, just because a guy is a war hero, doesn't mean he's not a slime-ball...

Information from Sara Carter of Fox News - Here's her website -

[saraacarter.com]

Sarah Carter citing Mueller’s career as a prosecutor in the 1980s. When Mueller was serving as assistant U.S. attorney, four men were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for a crime they did not commit and the special counsel was in charge of the case when it happened.

“Robert Mueller’s career has been anything but impeccable. One of the worst stains on his record comes from his time Boston, where he served as assistant U.S. attorney and acting U.S. attorney in the ’80s. During this time notorious Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger, he was actively engaged by the FBI as an informant. The relationship between Bulger and the bureau was wrought with nothing but corruption and criminal collusion.”

“Bulger’s FBI handler, guy by the name of John Connolly covered up for many of the horrific crimes that were committed by Bulger and his associates, including one instance where four men were wrongfully framed and convicted and imprisoned for decades — all for a murder it turns out they did not commit.” “The men were ultimately exonerated. A judge awarded $101 million in damages, but not before two of the men actually died in prison. Robert Mueller was the U.S. attorney in charge while these men were rotting in prison while certain agents in the FBI under Mueller covered up the truth.”

Mueller and his FBI - totally corrupt. Many scandals in his past.

He's the slimeball who set up Scooter Libby knowing he was innocent!

Despite knowing who leaked Valerie Plame's identity to a reporter, Mueller tasked a special counsel to investigate the Bush Administration for years, eventually ensnaring a non-leaker (Scooter Libby) with a process charge

Revealed: Robert Mueller’s FBI Repeatedly Abused Prosecutorial Discretion

Establishment DC types who reflexively defend Mueller haven't explained how they came to trust him so completely. It's a question worth asking given the bumpy historical record of Mueller's tenure as FBI director.

[thefederalist.com]

Republican Scooter Libby Charged, But Not The Leaker

As lax and lenient as the Department of Justice was with Berger, the opposite was true in other cases. After Valerie Plame’s identity as a CIA employee was leaked, a special counsel operation was set up to investigate the leak. Mueller’s deputy Comey pressured John Ashcroft to recuse himself from the case on the grounds he had potential conflicts of interest.

Comey named Patrick Fitzgerald, his close personal friend and godfather to one of his children, to the role of special counsel. Mueller, Comey, and Fitzgerald all knew the whole time that Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the leaker. Yet they set things up so Fitzgerald would aggressively investigate the Bush administration for three years, jailed a journalist for not giving up a source, and pursued both Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

Comey even expanded the investigation’s mandate within weeks of setting up the special counsel. Libby, who was pardoned by President Trump last week, was rung up on a process charge in part thanks to prosecutorial abuse by Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald encouraged a witness to give false testimony by not providing exonerating evidence to her and Libby’s attorneys. The Wall Street Journal and Commentary have write-ups on the saga.

Wikipedia wants to ban acclaimed conservative site the Federalist.com





Three weeks after the oft-cited TheFederalist.com accused a popular scientist of making up quotes and numbers in a speech, Wikipedia has moved to eliminate the conservative news site.

In a surprise move, the hugely-trafficked Wikipedia posted a notice that the Federalist was “being considered for deletion” after an unknown critic said it “does not pass the threshold for notability.” Wikipedia asked users to comment on the decision, though it in the end it will not be made on a “majority vote.”

The claim shocked the new site’s staff, especially since the Federalist has been featured in mainstream media such as MSNBC and CNN.

The website is blaming the attack on its credibility for its criticism of astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson earlier this month. Armed with photographs of a recent Tyson presentation in Seattle, the site accused him of a “habit of using bad math and fabricated quotes in his presentations.”

Now, they said that Wikipedia is retaliating.

Analysis / Bias

The Federalist is a news and opinion website that reports with a right wing bias that typically favors the right and denigrates the left. There is frequent use of loaded emotional language such as this: The New York Times’ Hit Piece On Mike Pence Is Anti-Christian Bigotry, Plain And Simple. In general, The Federalist sources all of their information to credible mainstream outlets, however they sometimes use sources that we have rated mixed for factual reporting such as the Daily Caller.

(So I seem to be the Fact Checker for the Libs lies and falsehoods and Fake News, RHB, on the board...)

Looked it all up and you're right that Wikipedia was trying to ban TheFederalist website because TheFederalist wrote three articles calling out Neil DeGrasse for making up quotes.

Here are the three articles stating deGrasse made up quotes -

Wikipedia Is Now Trying To Eliminate The Federalist’s Online Entry

[thefederalist.com]

(Please go to the link itself to see many other live links to TheFederalist many Sources)

Yep. It just happened. The science-loving censors at Wikipedia, not content with memory-holing unassailable facts about Neil Tyson’s history of fabricating quotes (part 1, part 2, and part 3), are now trying to completely erase The Federalist from Wikipedia. Seriously, take a look:

The deletion demand was made on Friday morning by user “Cwobeel,” who claimed that The Federalist “does not pass the threshold for notability.” The same user ironically describes himself in his Wikipedia profile as “a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians.”

Really? The Federalist doesn’t pass the threshold for notability? If The Federalist doesn’t pass that threshold, it’s hard to imagine who does. Our work has been regularly featured by literally every single major publication, site, and cable news outlet in the U.S., including the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Politico, The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, Real Clear Politics, the Drudge Report, Slate, Daily Caller, Salon, Washington Examiner, Free Beacon, Vox, National Review, Weekly Standard, Forbes, Think Progress, The Blaze, and so on. I could go on, and on, and on. We’ve interviewed politicians, major authors, and even cultural icons like Dave Barry and David Mamet. We’ve been on Fox News and MSNBC and CNN. Senators ask us to publish their columns. Likely presidential candidates sit down for interviews with us.

Our reach, influence, and impact are undeniable.

Unless, of course, you need to deny our existence in order to further the pretense that Neil Tyson is infallible. Because that’s what this is really about. You don’t burn books because they’re irrelevant. You burn books because you’re terrified that they’re not. You don’t muzzle people who have no audience. You muzzle people only when their voices are amplified far beyond your liking. As the famous baseball player Reggie Jackson said, “Fans don’t boo nobodies.”

When the Wikipedia censorship campaign began, the first salvo from its censorship cabal was to say that the claims against Tyson didn’t need to be mentioned because the sources of those claims weren’t reliable. It’s an odd accusation, seeing as how not a single person has produced evidence that President George W. Bush ever said what Tyson said he said. But it made a sick sort of sense: if you hate the message, just shoot the messenger.

Honestly, that was all fine by me. Wikipedia’s censorship campaign only brought more attention to the issue of Neil Tyson’s quote fabrications. The readership of our series of articles on Tyson dwarfs that of any single Wiki page by many, many orders of magnitude. In my opinion, the censorship campaign is important because it highlights how the progressive Left acts when challenged. Revise, don’t report. Erase, don’t acknowledge. Delete, don’t debate. The whole episode perfectly demonstrated that the so-called reality-based community is at war with reality.

This attempt to completely eliminate any mention whatsoever of The Federalist on Wikipedia is laughable and beyond pathetic, but it’s exactly what you’d expect from a group of delusional dimwits who have convinced themselves that justice consists entirely of just hitting the delete key over and over again. It’s cute when toddlers close their eyes and believe that nobody can see them, but when adults do it, it’s just sad.

But keep it up, Wikipedia. Keep up the fiction that if you just burn enough books, all will be made well. Keep up the fiction that your censorship will make this issue go away, rather than just fueling the fire. Keep reminding people why Wikipedia should never, ever be trusted to provide the facts on any topic that is even remotely controversial. Keep disappearing facts and evidence you don’t like while desperately clinging to the science fiction that you totally love facts and evidence.

You can’t win. If you strike us down, we’ll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

So Yes, TheFederalist Website is a wonderful perfect credible reliable legitimate source of Information and Truth.

Whereas Wikipedia and of course SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) are not.

It's common knowledge that Wiki is not a credible legitimate reliable source and that's why college professors do not allow their students to use Wikipedia as a source!

Gee I wonder if there is any other information on Google that Neil deGrasse Tyson 'lies', fabricates, misinforms or misquotes, just what his reputation is...

I see variations of this question from time to time and it seems to be quite the mystery.

One clue comes from an SEC filing from this past November, when FDRLST Media, LLC, the Deleware-domiciled parent company of The Federalist, filed a Form D, Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities. It is a strange offering: $750,000 in debt securities, only $200,000 of which were sold to two accredited investors. It is the only such offering from that entity in the SEC archive. Why, four years into its existence, did The Federalist go to the debt market for capital, and why did the offering get so little interest?

There is no clear answer, but this seems to rule out the possibility of one or more angel investor(s) bankrolling the publication, or at least an angel willing to underwrite the publication indefinitely.

Another clue comes from the signature line. The form was signed by John McIntyre, under the title of “Manager”.

Mr. McIntyre, along with Jenn McIntyre, are listed as “Related Persons” in Sec. 3 of the form, alongside Ben Domenech, The Federalist's publisher, and Sean Davis, who is listed on The Federalist masthead as a co-founder. Neither of the two McIntyre’s are listed on the masthead, however, nor do their names appear anywhere on The Federalist’s web site.

The co-founder of RealClearPolitics.com, and president of its holding company, Real Clear Holdings, LLC, is named John McIntyre, and his wife’s name is Jenn. Domenech also writes for RealClearPolitics. It is not a leap to assume that this is the John McIntyre named on FDRLST Media’s offering document. In fact, given his apparent role in The Federalist’s parent company but his absence from its masthead Occam's Razor would suggest McIntyre's role is limited to a financial one.

McIntyre is/was an options trader, and he claims that RealClearPolitics has been profitable since 2009. It is possible that he and/or Real Clear has been fully or partially bankrolling The Federalist since its inception in 2013.

One potential confirmation of this theory is that this past September, two months before FDRLST Media filed that Schedule D with the SEC, RealClearPolitics laid off 70 employees, citing a post-election slump in business. It is possible that financial troubles at Real Clear resulted not only in layoffs at the parent company but in a need to push its stealth-funded venture, The Federalist, into the capital markets for continued funding.

Well, I don't quite understand or can't be bothered to try to, but so what. Their funding and financing and financial situation and what websites are related to what other websites and what people are involved in a couple websites. Is there a problem with all that. Who cares. Do the Libs go around to all the Conservative/Libertarian websites and investigate them and try to destroy them by finding some trash about them. God, the Libs deviousness never ceases to amaze.

The only past performance to his credit is his Military Service. A guy can be a war hero and still be corrupt. He's dishonorable, dishonest, untruthful, untrustworthy, uncredible, unjust and not upstanding -

Mueller is also unscrupulous, unprincipled, unethical, underhanded, crooked, shady and sleazy as evidence by the various cases/issues that I'm posting about -

(Go back and read this very thread - and the first article is from the Libs at HuffPost -

So far -

Whitey Bulger Case - Mueller sent four innocent guys to jail knowing they were innocent!

"Long before he became FBI Director, serious questions existed about Mueller’s role as Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston in effectively enabling decades of corruption and covering up of the FBI’s illicit deals with mobster Whitey Bulger and other “top echelon” informants who committed numerous murders and crimes. When the truth was finally uncovered through intrepid investigative reporting and persistent, honest judges, U.S. taxpayers footed a $100 million court award to the four men framed for murders committed by (the FBI operated) Bulger gang."

911 - Mueller sent over 1000 immigrants to jail who he knew were innocent just to look like Bush was making progress in fighting 'terrorism.' What an outrage!

"In the aftermath of the attacks, Mueller directed the “post-9/11 round-up” of around 1,000 immigrants who mostly happened to be in the wrong place (NYC area) at the wrong time, as FBI Headquarters encouraged more and more detentions for what seemed to be essentially PR purposes. Field offices were required to report daily the number of detentions in order to supply grist for FBI press releases about FBI “progress” in fighting terrorism. Consequently, some of the detainees were brutalized and jailed for up to a year despite the fact that none turned out to be terrorists."

Scooter Libby - Mueller accused him of being the leaker regarding the Valerie Plame case when he knew it was Richard Armatige! Sent him to jail on some dumbass charges and ruined his reputation and life! Just that alone is an outrage!

"After Valerie Plame’s identity as a CIA employee was leaked, a special counsel operation was set up to investigate the leak. Mueller’s deputy Comey pressured John Ashcroft to recuse himself from the case on the grounds he had potential conflicts of interest. Comey named Patrick Fitzgerald, his close personal friend and godfather to one of his children, to the role of special counsel.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson Suggests A Better Alternative To Trump’s Space Force

Tyson thinks a “Truth Force” to defend against enemies of accurate information is more of a priority.

[www.huffingtonpost.com]

Donald Trump’s proposed Space Force has been ridiculed by many well-known people including celebrities Stephen King and Mark Hamill, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and even Defense Secretary James Mattis.

But it’s getting tacit support from, of all people, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson ? sort of.

On Monday, Tyson tweeted that he’s “okay with a US Space Force” but suggested another new branch of the military might be more appropriate.

@neiltyson
I’m okay with a US Space Force. But what we need most is a Truth Force — one that defends against all enemies of accurate information, both foreign & domestic.

Some people pressed Tyson that his proposed “Truth Force” might cause more problems than it would solve.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: 'Truth Force' needed to confront 'enemies of accurate information'

[www.washingtontimes.com]

Neil deGrasse Tyson wants U.S. lawmakers to boldly go where no Congress has gone before: the creation of a federal “Truth Force.”

Prolonged controversies surrounding special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian hacking of the 2016 U.S. election has prompted the “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” host’s latest idea.

Mr. Tyson said a blueprint for a “Truth Force” can be found by studying The National Academy of Sciences.

“I’m okay with a US Space Force,” the astrophysicist and “StarTalk Radio” host said. “But what we need most is a Truth Force — one that defends against all enemies of accurate information, both foreign & domestic.”

Critics immediately highlighted the Orwellian nature of his suggestion.

“Sorta like the Ministry of Truth?” asked one reader.

“That sounds familiar. Where have I heard about that before? Oh, right. The Ministry of Truth,” added another.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Weighs in on Trump's 'Space Force' Plan

[www.msn.com]

Neil deGrasse Tyson has weighed in on Donald Trump's plan to add a "Space Force" to the U.S. military.

Perhaps surprisingly, celebrity astrophysicist Tyson is on board with the idea — but he seems to believe that there's another, more urgent issue that needs to be addressed.

"I'm okay with a US Space Force. But what we need most is a Truth Force — one that defends against all enemies of accurate information, both foreign & domestic," Tyson tweeted Monday.

In a subsequent tweet, Tyson pointed to the National Academy of Sciences, chartered by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, as the "beginnings of a Truth Force," saying that the academy "provides objective, science-based advice on critical issues affecting the nation."

I see Newsweek and PBS among the sources who aren't afraid to tell it like it is about Mueller's past. I appreciate the honesty of the Lib journalists and news sources. Vox does well often, too.

So yeah, here's a bunch of Mueller/Anthrax dirt, but I'll pick out the best to post tomorrow...

So many scandals in Mueller's past - it's amazing really.

Yes Jennifer, Robert Mueller needs to go.

Mueller is going nowhere until he is done indicting so sorry.

And convicting!

Yes Jennifer, Robert Mueller needs to go.

Right. Like I said there are so many scandals that show Mueller is slimy - that's the best word I know of - that I see even more every time I look up one. I was looking up anthrax and I see that Mueller had some Hell's Angels case that he screwed up. So many that I'm getting kind of weary of spending so much time on them all and getting confused by them all that I can't keep them all straight in my mind. I'll have to make a list.

Anyway, after reading about what he's done and capable of and so devious, I'm worried now that he will end up - like Levin said is the end game -

He said Mueller will write an Impeachment Report which in our system of government is not supposed to be done. But Mueller will do so.

Yes Trump Has to go and Manafort has the get going!.

10x8 Mueller not bad for a start,
Thank the gods we still have a jury system
Ellis was a fair Judge!
Mueller is awesome and he has the ball. Manafort is the first of many to fall, Including Trump.

Stay tuned for Paul Manafort trial number two.

Yes Tump might pardon Pardon Manafort, Im sure hes not sweating it
to much, on the other hand Trump has thrown a few under the bus.


I hope very much Trump Pardons Manafort and takes the bait.

You see maybe you dont Thats where Mueller is leading trump.

Trumps twitter comment about Manafort - Bad deal Acording to some legal
Experts is said to Be Obstruction of Justice, basic message from tweet was hang in their I will save you.

I Think Cheeto now has to push manafort in front of bus or go down for twitter tweak.

Good luck with getting rid of Manafort, Ask Rudy to tell Mueller again that he is done, I dont Think Mueller got the message.

You cant stop the wave but you can learn to surf Blue Wave going to drown you Trumpkins.

Red Tide Toxic Go Mueller one down great job!

This sums it up
