“Daniel McAdams: We should be clear what McCain’s role was in this. McCain is a chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, an extraordinary powerful individual in Washington DC. I think that what happened is that McCain is caught in the center of this controversy. Now he is trying to play the innocent. “Oh, I just did my duty,” he said. “I had no way of knowing whether this was valid damning information.”
But what he did in his role as the Chairman of the Committee was he validated that information. He contacted James Comey, the director of the FBI, to have a personal and private meeting to hand him this dossier. That action in itself validates or gives the impression that the document is validated to the FBI. So I think he is caught in the trap of his own making. He was trying to be involved in a ploy to make Trump look bad. He was caught at it, and now he is trying to backtrack and save his hide.”
Rand Paul: Intelligence Community Lost Credibility Over Trump Leaks
“In the opinion of US Senator Rand Paul, “somebody needs to go to jail” for the #GoldenShowerGate ‘scandal’ that never was.
“Look, the Intelligence Community has [had] a great loss of credibility in the past few years,” Senator Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said. Paul points to James Clapper, the sitting Director of National Intelligence, who “came to the Senate and lied under oath” regarding the NSA’s global surveillance and espionage conducted against American citizens. Perhaps the most sinister aspect of Clapper’s deception is that he kept his job. Then again, getting away with perjury, a felony under federal law, is no small feat either.”
Meanwhile, the bum bandits continue to make their own rules.
CIA New Rules Allow Operatives to Remain Covert Within US Organizations
“The special parliamentary committee was set up in March 2014 to examine the extent of the US agency’s surveillance activities revealed in documents published by Edward Snowden, former NSA employee, and the allegations that Germany’s intelligence agency, the BND, had helped the NSA spy on top political figures throughout Europe.
“The large US IT companies Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook refused jointly to answer to the German Parliamentary Committee investigating the NSA spying scandal through representatives… at an open hearing,” Christian Flisek, from the Social Democratic Party of Germany, said in a press release.”
No doubt they claim the right against self incrimination.
“Speaking at a press conference following a meeting with Austrian counterpart Sebastian Kurz, Lavrov said Moscow “is tired” of accusations it meddled in the US election.
In fact, Lavrov said, it is time to “acknowledge the fact” that it was the other way around.
“US allies have grossly interfered in America’s internal affairs, in the election campaign,” Lavrov said.
“We noticed that Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande, Theresa May, and other European leaders” did so. He added that official representatives of some of the European countries did not mince words, and essentially “demonized” Donald Trump during the election campaign.
In August last year, German Foreign Minister Frank Walther Steinmeier called Trump a “hate preacher.”
Trying to discuss with drunkards is never a good idea. Lavrov’s getting involved in in the silly non-topic of who interfered in the US elections, is a blunder. Cool it down, Lavrov, you are needed for more important tasks. 2017 is just warming up…
Politician from Merkel’s party CDU fears a new world order under Putin and Trump:
“If we fail now to close ranks in the field of security and foreign policy, we will be faced with a new world order under Russia’s President Putin and the new US President Trump,” Elmar Brok, Chairman of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs contended on Monday.[3] http://german-foreign-policy.com/en/fulltext/58999
“If we fail now to close ranks in the field of security and foreign policy, we will be faced with a new world order under Russia’s President Putin and the new US President Trump,”
That zionazi-nazi-gay alliance again, what can one say.
“For such people truth is like daylight to a vampire. And just like vampires when hit with daylight, the likes of Clinton and Obama are pitched into paroxysms of agony and anguish when confronted by it. The only difference between Donald Trump and them is that the new president does not try to conceal his hunger for wealth and power, his real motives, behind a patina of moral rectitude. He does not try to pretend he is anything other than what he is.”
“What makes this campaign still more sinister is the way the West’s intelligence agencies — historically no friends of free speech — are being dragged into it. In the process — and contrary to the law — they are being used to try to influence political outcomes in Western countries.
When I wrote about the Western reaction to the Charlie Hebdo attack I supposed Western leaders to be guilty of no more than muddled thinking.
It turns out that I underestimated them.
Perhaps that is not so surprising. After all, it takes peculiar panache to proclaim an undying commitment to the principle of free speech, whilst actually believing in its total opposite.”
Given all the mental programming people in the capitalist west were subjected to about freedom of speech in the “communist” east, it probably seems very disconcerting to them how it is the east now that is championing free speech. The reality is, speech, and expression, were, and are, just as censored in the west. The difference being how the censorship worked.
In the east, an iron fist was used, while in the west, they used a velvet glove. Now in the west, that velvet glove has been underlaid with an iron fist no less constricting than the old one of the east.
“The recent statement of Israeli Ambassador to Russia Gary Koren about potential relocation of Russia’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem could be a joke, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said Thursday.
“Probably he has joked in such a manner,” Bogdanov told reporters, commenting Koren’s statement.”
Good CrossTalk!
All of the guests were good, reasonable.
Even the Brookings guy, to my surprise.
yes .. good point about Trump not puffing himself up as the new Pope of Democracy.
