Jennifer Kay, a spokeswoman for Strzok's attorney, confirmed that the Twitter account was authentic according to the Daily Caller. ...... The page reads: For the last year, Pete, his work, and his character have been the target of highly politicized attacks, including frequent slanderous statements from President Trump, who actively—and apparently successfully—pressured FBI officials to fire Pete. All funds raised on this GoFundMe will be put into a trust dedicated to covering Pete’s hefty – and growing – legal costs and his lost income. The trust is being created and details about its management will be shared here as things progress Given that Strzok's wife Melissa Hodgman is an Associate Director in the SEC's enforcement division (with a $250,000 annual salary to boot), the following disclaimer at the bottom of the GoFundMe page comes as no surprise: *Please note: Due to federal ethics regulations as applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“agency”), any donation whose source cannot be determined or which falls into one of the categories below may be returned.

Thanksgiving should be fun at the Goodlatte house this year. It's always somebody else's fault. That’s what is both sad & humorous. Hillary, Comey, McCabe, etc. They all blame others for their own self inflicted wounds & failures. Worse is the fact people are actually donating money to them still.

dailycaller.com/2018/08/13/bruce-ohr-glenn-simpson-nra/Notes taken by Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr show that Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson claimed that longtime GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell was concerned about Russian funding for the NRA. Mitchell vehemently denies the allegation, which first appeared in a news article published by McClatchy in March. Mitchell says Simpson should be prosecuted for making false statements to a federal official. Veteran GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell suddenly found her name mixed up in the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The first public mention of Mitchell came in a March 13 report released by Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The report listed Mitchell, a partner at the firm Foley & Lardner, as one of the “individuals or groups who were involved in or may have knowledge of third-party political outreach from the Kremlin to the Trump campaign.” Two days later, McClatchy newspapers cited two anonymous sources who claimed that Mitchell expressed concerns just after the election that Russians had funneled secret cash to the National Rifle Association. The origin of the claims about Mitchell, which she says are a “complete fabrication,” have remained a mystery for months. But notes taken during a meeting between Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr and Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS, could shed light on how the allegations made their way into the public sphere. The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned that during a Dec. 10, 2016, meeting in Washington, D.C., Simpson told Ohr that Mitchell learned of and was troubled by Russian funding for the NRA. “An NRA lawyer named Cleta Mitchell found out about the money pipeline and was very upset, but the election was over,” Simpson said, according to Ohr’s handwritten notes, which were read to TheDCNF by a government source. Simpson and Ohr were meeting to discuss Fusion GPS’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Ohr had been in contact with Christopher Steele, the former British spy was working for Simpson on the Trump dossier. (RELATED: Emails Show Christopher Steele Lobbied Bruce Ohr On Behalf Of Putin-Linked Oligarch) Ohr’s wife, a Russia expert named Nellie Ohr, also worked for Simpson and Fusion GPS, which worked for the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 election. The Ohr-Fusion connection has come under intense scrutiny from Republican lawmakers who want to know Ohr’s involvement in the Russia investigation.

www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/08/13/fitton-how-were-bruce-and-nellie-ohr-christopher-steele-and-fusion-gps-plotting/Fitton: How Were Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Christopher Steele, and Fusion GPS Plotting? Glenn R. Simpson, co-founder of the research firm Fusion GPS, arrives for a scheduled appearance before a closed House Intelligence Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)AP/Pablo Martinez Monsivais 13 Aug 2018Washington, DC362 Recently, Republican lawmakers indicated that Bruce Ohr, the former associate deputy attorney general, is becoming more central to their investigation of the soft coup against President Trump. Moreover, newly released emails and memos show that Ohr continued to receive information from former British spy Christopher Steele in 2017 after the FBI had supposedly terminated its relationship with Steele in 2016 for leaking to the media. In fact, as I describe below, it was another Judicial Watch lawsuit that just uncovered FBI document showing that Steele was deemed unsuitable as a “confidential human source” in November 2016. But that was no impediment to Ohr’s continuing to use him nor the FBI continuing to receive “information” from Steele through Ohr! Talk about corruption! Judicial Watch just filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for all communications from the offices of the deputy attorney general and the office of the director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force related to Bruce G. Ohr, his wife Nellie Ohr, Christopher Steele, and Fusion GPS (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-01854)). Bruce Ohr remains Organized Crime Task Force director. Until his dossier-related demotion, he was the fourth-ranked official at DOJ. The House Intelligence Committee memo released by Chairman Devin Nunes on February 2 says that Nellie Ohr was “employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump” and that Bruce Ohr passed along the results of that research, which was paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, to the FBI. The “salacious and unverified” dossier was used to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) surveillance warrant to spy on Carter Page. Judicial Watch sued after the Justice Department failed to respond to our May 29, 2018, FOIA request for: All records from the Office of the Deputy Attorney General relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all records of communications about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele. All records from the office of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce G. Ohr relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all records of communications (including those of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Ohr) about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele. All records from the office of the Director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all records of communications (including those of former Organized Crime Task Force Director Bruce Ohr) about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele. In December 2017, Bruce Ohr was removed from his position as U.S. associate deputy attorney general after it was revealed that he conducted undisclosed meetings with anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson, principal of Fusion GPS. In March, Judicial Watch filed two lawsuits seeking records about the Ohrs’ involvement in the anti-Trump dossier. In June, the DOJ was ordered to begin searching and producing Fusion GPS records to Judicial Watch. As this sordid scandal continues to unfold, it is increasingly clear that top DOJ official Bruce Ohr – working in conjunction with his wife and other Clinton-connected Fusion GPS actors – played a key role in laundering false information from Russia about Donald J. Trump. The DOJ must stop the stonewalling and release these documents, as the law requires. Tom Fitton is president of Judicial Watch.

thefederalist.com/2018/08/14/new-info-indicates-clinton-funded-oppo-research-launched-fbis-trump-investigation/New Info Indicates Clinton-Funded Oppo Research Launched FBI’s Trump Investigation This meeting raises serious questions concerning whether Christopher Steele shared information from his ‘dossier’ with Bruce Ohr, prompting the FBI to launch Crossfire Hurricane. By Margot Cleveland Last week, in three articles for The Hill, investigative journalist John Solomon revealed previously undisclosed text and email discussions between former associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr and former MI6 agent and Spygate dossier author Christopher Steele. Solomon’s reporting also uncovered notes Ohr took summarizing discussions he had with Steele’s boss at Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, about the Russian “collusion” investigation. In isolation, the details revealed in Solomon’s must-read exposés are troubling. But when considered in conjunction with information related to the Russia investigation the government previously released, this new information is potentially devasting because it indicates that, notwithstanding claims to the contrary, the Federal Bureau of Investigation launched operation Crossfire Hurricane based on Steele’s Clinton-funded opposition research. This conclusion flows from an email exchange revealed in Solomon’s first article, which established that Ohr met with Steele on July 30, 2016, in Washington DC. Ohr brought his wife Nellie to the breakfast gathering. Nellie, as has long been reported, worked at Fusion GPS, also on the Trump opposition-research project. That end-of-July meeting followed emails exchanged earlier in the month, in which Steele told Ohr “There is something separate I wanted to discuss with you informally and separately. It concerns our favourite business tycoon!” “An apparent reference to Trump,” Solomon explained, noting that Steele’s reach-out to Ohr “came just four days before Steele walked into the FBI office in Rome with still-unproven allegations that Trump had an improper relationship with Russia, including possible efforts to hijack the presidential election.” While we do not know the details discussed at the July 30, 2016 tête-à-tête, the morning meeting with the Ohrs appears related to Steele’s request to chat about their “favourite business tycoon.” Significantly, as Solomon reported, “That meeting occurred exactly one day before FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok formally opened an investigation, dubbed Crossfire Hurricane, into whether the Trump campaign was colluding with Moscow to steal the election.” Add This New Info to What We Already Know This meeting raises serious questions concerning whether Steele shared information from his “dossier” with Bruce Ohr, which Ohr then passed on to the FBI, prompting the FBI to launch Crossfire Hurricane. This possibility seems extremely likely given two additional facts. First, the FBI’s proffered rationale for initiating Crossfire Hurricane has long seemed shaky. According to Rep. Adam Schiff’s House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Democratic response memorandum, “the FBI initiated its counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016, after receiving information” that individuals linked to Russia had told George Papadopoulos they could assist Trump’s presidential campaign by anonymously releasing information about Hillary Clinton. Schiff’s memo redacted the details of the information the FBI received concerning Papadopoulos’ purported conversation with the Russians. But The New York Times reported in May 2018 that, according to officials speaking “on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly,” it was comments Papadopoulos made to Australian diplomat Alexander Downer over drinks in a London bar in May 2016 that prompted the FBI to launch Crossfire Hurricane. The New York Times further reported that Papadopoulos had told Downer “that Russia had dirt on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton,” and implied the “dirt” consisted of the hacked DNC emails, writing: “Before hacked Democratic emails appeared online, he had seemed to know that Russia had political dirt on Mrs. Clinton.” However, in an interview with The Australian, Downer said that “during their drink at the Kensington Wine Room, Mr. Papadopoulos had told him he had damaging information on Mrs. Clinton, but he did not reveal what it was.” As Downer put it: “He didn’t say dirt, he said material that could be damaging to her. No, he said it would be damaging. He didn’t say what it was.” Rather, “[d]uring that conversation he (Papadopoulos) mentioned the Russians might use material that they have on Hillary Clinton in the lead-up to the election, which may be damaging.” This Is Reading Into to What Papadopoulos Said While Papadopoulos would later mention “dirt” and “emails” when the FBI interviewed him in late January 2017, at the time the FBI launched the investigation in July 2016, agents would only have Downer’s version of the events, which, according to the former Australian diplomat, made no reference to emails—either the Democratic National Committee’s hacked ones or the 30,000 emails missing from Clinton’s homebrew server. Yet the narrative goes that the former Trump advisor’s comments justified an investigation into the Trump campaign once WikiLeaks released the hacked DNC emails in late July 2016 because Papadopoulos had obviously known ahead of time that Russia had that “dirt” on Hillary. Taken in isolation, this theory is a tough sell, but now that we know that Steele met with Ohr the day before the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane, no one should be buying the bureau’s bull. Unlike Papadopoulos’ vague reference to damaging material, Steele had already authored several memos—including at least two from July 2016 that purported to connect the Trump campaign to the WikiLeaks release of the DNC emails. For instance, one memo claimed “Source E, acknowledged that the Russian regime had been behind the recent leak of embarrassing e-mail messages, emanating from the Democratic National Committee (DNC), to the WikiLeaks platform.” Steele’s memo continued: “The reason for using WikiLeaks was ‘plausible deniability’ and the operation had been conducted with the full knowledge and support of TRUMP and senior members of his campaign team.”

thefederalist.com/2018/08/14/media-conspiracy-theories-devin-nunes-getting-control/Media Conspiracy Theories About Devin Nunes Are Getting Out Of Control The media claims it's crazy for Devin Nunes to say in 'secret' audio that Democrats want to impeach President Trump and that he has political reasons for opposing Rod Rosenstein's immediate impeachment. By Mollie Hemingway During the 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee secretly bought and paid for an information campaign alleging treasonous collusion between Donald Trump and Russia to steal an election belonging to Clinton. The campaign was run by Fusion GPS, which specializes in spreading information into the media. Fusion GPS principal Glenn Simpson and a British ex-spy-for-hire named Christopher Steele secretly met with myriad media companies during the campaign and after the election to spread their dramatic tales claiming that Trump campaign affiliates were working hand-in-hand with Russian operatives, and that Russians had compromising information on President Trump. They also got the information — which they claimed came from Kremlin operatives and other Russians with ties to Vladimir Putin — into the U.S. government to secure widespread spying on the Trump campaign. Literally nothing of significance alleged in the information campaign has been proven to be true. Yes, Russia is a country with Putin as a leader, and yes Carter Page visited Russia, but two years into one of the most thoroughly investigated issues of our time, no evidence has been provided to come even remotely close to proving Page is a mastermind spy who secretly coordinated with Russian officials to bring down America’s next president. Or that Michael Cohen went to Prague to make arrangements with the Russian officials. Despite the dramatic claims of Paul Manafort’s involvement in this Russian plot, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has told the court that nothing in Manafort’s money-laundering trial will touch on this claim. Still, that weaponized information campaign was so successful that it spawned widespread spying on the Trump campaign followed up by a special counsel investigation without limits. At best, the media fell for the information campaign hook, line, and sinker. At worst, they were complicit in spreading information they knew to be false. Rather than admitting any gullibility or error, many media figures are absolutely desperate to save face. The only way the country knows that the Russia conspiracy theory was a Clinton campaign operation that was weaponized and subsidized by the country’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies is thanks to congressional oversight. Two committees in particular have done actual work to uncover facts in the face of media misinformation: The Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). Nunes has taken most of the heat for doing congressional oversight rather than congressional complacency. Rachel Maddow last week aired secret audio obtained at a Republican fundraiser that featured Nunes. He spoke about the importance of Republicans keeping the House if they want to keep doing oversight rather than complacently accept a Clinton-funded and -directed narrative of treasonous collusion. He also said that while he supports impeaching Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has obstructed congressional oversight of the FBI, the timing is bad since the Senate needs to confirm a Supreme Court justice nominee. You can watch or read his remarks here. It surprises no one that Maddow reported this secret audio breathlessly on her show, even if his comments were obvious. Of course the only people holding the FBI accountable for using Clinton campaign research to spy on the Trump campaign are a couple of Republican-led congressional oversight committees. Of course they can’t continue to hold those institutions accountable if they’re out of power. So obviously Republican victory to accomplish this goal is a perfectly normal thing to discuss at a Republican fundraiser where participants are probably aware that if Democrats take the House, they’ll promptly go after Trump. The ostensibly less excitable media, however, aped Maddow’s spin entirely. They claimed that there were two dramatic aspects of the “secret” audio. One is that Nunes has a crazy idea that Democrats want to impeach President Trump and that the media and a politicized Justice Department are not the best protection against the plot. The second is that Nunes has political reasons for opposing Rosenstein’s immediate impeachment. Here’s Marc Ambinder: If that’s “least biased” I honestly can’t imagine what “most biased” would be. The Washington Post headline was “Devin Nunes, in secretly recorded tape, tells donors GOP majority is necessary to protect Trump: ‘We’re the only ones.’” The article by Isaac Stanley-Becker is downright hilarious. It makes Maddow seem calm. It notes that Nunes publicly speaks in the same way he was “caught” speaking at the fundraiser, but adds that there is a nefarious new step of coming up with the crazy idea that Democrats might want to impeach the president even though the aggressive special counsel has not provided any reason for impeachment: …Nunes took the new step of tying the investigation to the midterm elections this fall. In comments captured in an audio recording aired Wednesday by ‘The Rachel Maddow Show,’ Nunes laid out in stark terms the rationale for preserving the GOP majority in Congress. ‘If Sessions won’t unrecuse and Mueller won’t clear the president, we’re the only ones, which is really the danger,’ Nunes said at an event for Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, referring to Jeff Sessions, the attorney general, and Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel. Sessions said last year that he would keep his distance from inquiries related to the 2016 election, owing to his role in Trump’s campaign — a move that has frustrated the president, leading him to blame his own attorney general for the ‘Russian Witch Hunt Hoax.’ ‘I mean, we have to keep all these seats,’ Nunes added. ‘We have to keep the majority. If we do not keep the majority, all of this goes away.’ First off, maybe Nunes is crazy to think that Democrats plan to impeach the president within 30 seconds of taking the House. Or, you know, maybe he got the idea that Democrats are thinking pretty intently on impeaching the president the moment they take the House from statements they’ve made here, or here, or here, or here, or here, or here, or here, or here, or here, or here, or here, or here. One or the other. And I think at this point we can all agree that the Washington Post is not going to hold the FBI or DOJ accountable for any misdeeds in recent years. This is the paper, after all, that has yet to have one of its own reporters even mention the latest news with Bruce Ohr, much less write the dozens of hard-hitting investigative pieces people have every right to expect at this stage.

Honestly, if/when proven true, would it really shock anyone? dailycaller.com/2018/08/13/rudy-giuliani-john-brennan-mueller/President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani announced on Monday evening that he believes former CIA Director John Brennan is the person responsible for the entire Mueller investigation. Giuliani made the claim during a segment of “Hannity” on Fox News. “She got off because of that fixed investigation. A totally phony fixed investigation run by Peter Strzok who then turns around, the dossier is obtained on the day that they dropped the case against Trump — against Hillary. So that case gets dropped and they had to even up the score,” Giuliani stated. “The reality is I’m going to tell you. We don’t have the time to go into it, we can do it later, I’m going to tell you who was the quarterback for all of this. It isn’t just Strzok. Strzok is a bit of a puppet. Then there’s Mueller, he’s a puppet. The people working for him, some of them are,” he continued. Hannity cut of Giuliani saying, “I have a funny feeling you are about to drop a bomb on me.” Giuliani and Hannity were discussing the firing of disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, which happened earlier on Monday. (RELATED: ‘Finally’: Trump Cheers Strzok Firing From FBI, Wants Russia Probe Dropped) “Well the guy running it is [John] Brennan and he should be in front of a grand jury. Brennan took an affidavit – a dossier, unless he’s the biggest idiot intelligence agent that ever existed, although he never did much intelligence work, it’s false. You could look at it and laugh,” Giuliani stated.

www.dailywire.com/news/34469/ka-ching-disgraced-fbi-agent-peter-strzoks-joseph-curlFormer agent Peter Strzok, who sent anti-Trump texts to his mistress and vowed to "stop" Donald Trump from becoming president, may have been fired by the FBI, but he's about to be very, very rich. A group calling itself "Friends Of Special Agent Peter Strzok," launched a GoFundMe page on Monday, seeking $150,000 to be "put into a trust dedicated to covering Pete’s hefty – and growing – legal costs and his lost income." "Peter Strzok, a man who has spent his entire life working to help keep us and our nation safe, has been fired," says a message on the GoFundMe page. "He needs your help." And he got it. At the time of this article's posting, the page had collected $254,344 in just 23 hours — so much money that the $150,000 goal was raised to $300,000. More than 6,300 people had donated, the page says. Many of the donations came in as "anonymous," and the page creators note that "Any aggregate donation of $390 or more will be publicly disclosed." The page says Strzok has "been the target of highly politicized attacks, including frequent slanderous statements from President Trump, who actively – and apparently successfully – pressured FBI officials to fire Pete." "Unlike those who typically become the focus of partisan investigations in Washington, Pete is not politically connected, he’s not a wealthy lobbyist and he’s not interested in using his notoriety for personal gain. Because of this, he doesn’t have deep pockets that allow him to pay for the significant legal bills he has incurred to defend himself and the FBI against these political attacks, or to easily cover the expenses incurred by his lost income," says the page.

A totally phony fixed investigation run by Peter Strzok who then turns around, the dossier is obtained on the day that they dropped the case against Trump — against Hillary. So that case gets dropped and they had to even up the score,” Giuliani stated. “The reality is I’m going to tell you. We don’t have the time to go into it, we can do it later, I’m going to tell you who was the quarterback for all of this. It isn’t just Strzok. Strzok is a bit of a puppet. Then there’s Mueller, he’s a puppet. The people working for him, some of them are,” he continued. Hannity cut of Giuliani saying, “I have a funny feeling you are about to drop a bomb on me.” Giuliani and Hannity were discussing the firing of disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, which happened earlier on Monday. (RELATED: ‘Finally’: Trump Cheers Strzok Firing From FBI, Wants Russia Probe Dropped) “Well the guy running it is [John] Brennan and he should be in front of a grand jury. Brennan took an affidavit – a dossier, unless he’s the biggest idiot intelligence agent that ever existed, although he never did much intelligence work, it’s false. You could look at it and laugh,” Giuliani stated. Yes, lets listen to the crazy old man who has contradicted himself numerous times on public television. lol.
Sounds like desperation to me.

There are people making like this is significant. Its not. Its common. If you dont think the govt made their case, and there is more ofna danger to your client to keep going, dont.

I was reading up on it last night & posted a Twitter update where they hinted to this possibility. One report called it by a Latin name,(I believe), but unfortunately I can’t recall what it was exactly & how this was a very common practice to ask for a court dismissal after the prosecution presents its case.

What a joke. But it fits with his smug personality 5th avenue and all that. Just as there are those that worship Trump to the point they would argue that a taped conversation isn't him (despite the fact he hasn't denied it) there are those who will give their hard earned money to support one of his critics they feel was railroaded for having political ideals critical of Trump.
And don't fool yourself into thinking that Trump wouldn't do the same, i.e. accept monies from supporters. Some of his legal fees have been paid for with campaign funds and I doubt a single supporter has any problem with that.
I personally wouldn't give one red cent to either one of them.

Are you still worried about Nunes influencing an investigation that has been over for months?
