The irony of Trump hiring a lawyer that worked on Bill's impeachment is hilarious.

At some point, if they haven't already, someone is going to have to sit Trump down and have a serious conversation with him. He can no longer run from the fact that articles of impeach will be introduced before his term is over. It's no longer if, it's when and is he prepared for that.

Depends on midterms.

If GOP keeps the House then Trump is probably counting on them to save him (which is likely). No matter what Mueller finds, it's hard to see a GOP House ever passing articles of impeachment against a Republican president (it requires a majority vote from the House). No matter how obviously corrupt Trump is, they're not going to want to upset their base. If it flips, it's a different ballgame and Trump may be fukked.

Carter Page Tells Moscow Rex Tillerson is Secretary of State Before Trump Tells America
By Masha Froliak | 10:35 am, December 13, 2016
Carter Page, the former foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump, currently under investigation by the FBI on suspicion of illegal communication with Putin officals, came back to Russia’s capital to give a talk.

On Monday, Mr. Page gave a lecture at the state run Rossiya Segodnya news agency titled ‘Departing from hypocrisy: potential strategies in the era of global economic stagnation, security threats and fake news.’ In this lecture Page blamed America for “arrogant foreign policies” towards Russia, talked about “restoration” of the U.S.-Russia relationship under Donald Trump, and expressed his excitement for Exxonmobile CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.

“One of the big news issues and something people are keeping an eye for, and something that will be very important as we watch the new administration develop, who will be our new secretary of state.”

Even though Donald Trump had not yet announced his pick to America, Page presented a slide during his presentation in Moscow, in which Rex Tillerson was compared next to Hillary Clinton under the headline ” First Secretaries of State for New U.S. Presidents”.

Page listed side by side the “accomplishments” of Hillary Clinton, who he said has “a very long negative track record in the U.S.” and those of Rex Tillerson.

Clinton was noted by Page for what he said was her “de facto order of Mutual Distrust [with Russia],” supporting NATO’s intervention in Kosovo, supporting NATO’s expansion, and as Secretary of State “meddling in Russia’s 2011 elections.”

Tillerson’s “accomplishments”, on the other hand, Page listed as various oil projects in Russia – and the award of the Order of Friendship presented to him by Putin.

“I am really personally excited about Rex Tillerson being awarded the Order of Friendship by Vladimir Putin, the many joint ventures he worked to create in Kara Sea, Black Sea, and the list goes on,” Page said.

Page, who himself worked for Russian Gazprom back in the 90s, and was a foreign policy adviser to Trump’s campaign until September, claimed that he is not part of the President’s elect transition team.

“I am not directly involved in the transition, but I have talked to various people,” Page said.

Page, whose stated reason for the visit to Moscow was meetings with “businessmen and thought leaders” also said that his personal objective in the years to come was to push forward a new era of U.S.-Russia relations. Sputnik, the Russian state news agency, said that “thought leaders” could mean “government officials”.

A slide presented by Carter Page on Monday in Moscow:

Questions may be asked in the US Senate as to how Mr. Page, a man under FBI investigation, was told who the Secretary of State would be and announced it to Russia before Mr. Trump announced it to America.



Senators will also be concerned at Mr. Page attacking NATO. Paul Ryan and other Republican leaders have expressed the strongest possible support for NATO and are unlikely to allow Mr. Trump to change American policy on support for the alliance, or to pass any anti-NATO measures through Congress.

THERE IS EVIDENCE CARTER PAGE WAS THE LINK TO ANNOUNCE TILLERSON BEFORE TRUMP EVER DID!

THE REASON FOR THE NUNES "MIDNIGHT RUN" WAS THAT PAGE MAY HAVE CALLED NUNES AND NUNES WAS CAUGHT ON THE INTERCEPTS!!!




Did Carter Page Call Devin Nunes From Moscow?

Did Carter Page Call Devin Nunes From Moscow?

By patribotics3 hours ago
Is Devin Nunes directly on an FBI intercept with Carter Page, receiving instructions for the Trump Transition team directly from Moscow? I believe he must be. Here’s the evidence.

Carter Page Spoke to Both the Transition Team and Russian Government
In December of 2016, Carter Page went back to Russia. Trump had won the election, and Devin Nunes, along with Boris Epshteyn, was part of the Transition Team, headed by Vice-President Mike Pence.

Officially, Carter Page was no longer part of Team Trump. But we now know from Rep. Adam Schiff, leader of the Democratic Minority on the House Intelligence Committee, that a FISA warrant had been granted – with Mr. Page as its direct target – on October 21, 2016.

Page made headlines on that trip, not least at Heat Street, the Dow Jones site whose editor I was. Could it be that both he and the Russian government revealed, in real time, their collusion? Masha Froliak reported that Page announced Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State at a press conference hosted by Sputnik – actually hosted by the Russian state in which he was grossly offensive about Hillary Clinton. More importantly, Tillerson had not yet been announced by Trump as his pick in America. Tillerson was announced on December 13th; but Page announced him on December 12th, the day before.

Furthermore, Page had clearly not received this intelligence on the spur of the moment. He presented, without any ambiguity, Tillerson as Secretary of State using slides that had clearly been drawn up in advance; slides which featured photographs and graphics. These slides will doubtless feature in Bob Mueller’s investigation. We illustrated our piece using screengrabs from Russia Today’s video of the event.

One slide featured an obviously “designed” graphic that was clearly not made by Page himself; with a side-by-side comparison of Hillary Clinton and Rex Tillerson’s “a:weebaynanimated:chievements” in regard to Russia, the graphic for the Clintons shows them all as Russian dolls, with the largest Russian doll being a figure of Monica Lewinsky. Reviewing the lecture and Froliak’s reporting, it is plain in retrospect that not only the graphics, but the text of the slides were provided to Page by Russian actors.

It was a calculated insult to the United States to announce Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State in Moscow before Trump announced him in America. A cocky, even euphoric Russian media and government had clearly miscalculated dramatically over the strength of the US Constitution, the NATO alliance and the USIC. During this period, Russia was engaging in face to face communication with Trump’s team both in Washington and Moscow. (That was partly because of my own reporting, oddly enough. Sources told me much later that as soon as I published the FISA story on both Russian banks’ servers, talking to the Trump server, being under a FISA warrant, they ceased to communicate with Alfa Bank in Moscow; Team Trump and Team Putin then needed human contact, believing email to be unsafe).

In early December, Ambassador Kislyak met Flynn, Bannon and Jared Kushner at Trump Tower. At that meeting, Kislyak and Kushner set up the January 11th Erik Prince-Kirill Dimitriev meeting. Kislyak subsequently met with Avi Berkowitz, formerly of the “Trump Data” team, to ask that Kushner meet the Russian banker, Sergei Gorkov, a Russian intelligence and government proxy.

Carter Page then traveled to Moscow, apparently to receive and relay messages – orders, in fact – between Putin’s government and Team Trump. And this is not speculation – it is fact, confessed by both sides at the time. Carter Page said:

“I am not directly involved in the transition, but I have talked to various people”


He also said he was in Moscow to meet with “thought leaders”. Sadly for both Carter Page and Vladimir Putin, Sputnik, which is an official government entity, said that

thought leaders… may include government officials.

In summary, then, Carter Page in Moscow, in Dec 2016:

  • Was the target of a FISA warrant, and would have been under surveillance by US intelligence, with any evidence received from intercepting his phone calls and emails admissible in court
  • Announced Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State the day before Trump did
  • Used materials obviously prepared in advance to do so, including ‘fake news’ style graphics
  • Used materials which, I argue, were prepared for him by Russian intelligence, including a detailed breakdown of Rex Tillerson’s interactions with Russia
  • According to himself, was communicating with the Trump Transition team
  • According to the Russian government, was meeting with Russian governmental officials
Page Was Accompanied By Jack Kingston of Russia Today
Jack Kingston, the Russia Today pundit, accompanied Carter Page to Russia by design, joining in meetings and discussing sanction repeal – absolutely illegal while Obama was President. Kingston lied that he was a private person, but at the same time admitted he had a role in Trump’s campaign:

“I was an active soldier in the foxhole, but not a general deploying troops”

The American Chamber of Commerce in Russia billed Kingston openly as acting as “a senior adviser to President-Elect Donald Trump”. In a paragraph all involved will regret, they detailed Kingston’s status with the Campaign and Mike Pence. “He participated in the campaign’s daily briefings…. his relationship with Team Members is extensive… he served as Senior Adviser to Trump during the campaign”

Jack Kingston served as Senior advisor to President-Elect Donald Trump during the campaign
. In this capacity he participated in the campaign’s daily briefings and also as an outside surrogate, appearing on TV over 130 times on behalf of the campaign. His relationship with team members is extensive. For example, he has known Newt Gingrich for over 30 years, Kellyanne Conway for over 20 years and served with Mike Pence for 12 years in Congress. He also dealt with other campaign leaders and members of the Trump family.

The Deep State
But Did Page Talk to Devin Nunes?
Both my FISA article of Nov 7th, and Paul Wood’s article for the BBC in January 2017, reported that the FISA warrant of October 15th, targeted at two Russian banks, was intended to cover three individuals working with the Trump campaign, plus Mr. Trump himself, although we both acknowledged that the Russian banks were the target. Neither of us named the three individuals at that time. Later, I reported on this blog that the three Trump campaign associates were Page, Manafort and Epshteyn. Wood, myself and the Guardian’s Julian Borger all reported that a June application to FISC had failed.

The reason that I, as the journalist who broke the story, did not name the Trump associates was that Mr. Epshteyn was not officially part of the campaign. I described him as a “media surrogate” as distinct from Page and Manafort, both of whom had officially been part of the campaign at one point. However, at Patribotics I was able to report on Epshteyn as a public figure because he then became officially part of the Trump Transition team. (Mr. Epshteyn is, incidentally, the only figure in the Trump Russia affair that I have actually called a ‘Russian spy’ as opposed to a Russian asset. My sources, multiple Western intelligence sources from more than one nation, state that Epshteyn is an FSB agent. He adamantly denies it.)

Devin Nunes inspired me to write that piece naming the FISA targets. On Dec 11th, the day before Page’s Moscow speech, Nunes wrote

Today I was honored to have been named to the executive committee of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team. In this role, I will advise President-elect Trump on the appointments of his Cabinet members and on appointments to other top positions in the new administration.

Indeed. Nunes probably acted as a cut-out: Page is told whom Moscow has picked as Secretary of State, Page calls Devin Nunes from Moscow, and Devin Nunes tells Trump. If I am correct, then this call or calls will be on legally admissible intercepts, gathered under a FISA warrant. Not only will Carter Page be going to jail, Devin Nunes will too.:weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated:

Nunes notorious press conference in March after his trip to the White House – in which his former counsel Michael Ellis leaked intelligence transcripts to him – appears in retrospect to confirm this theory. Politico reported that Nunes’ complaints of “unmasking” were in fact invented. Adam Schiff said::weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated:

“In my conversation late this afternoon, the chairman informed me that most of the names in the intercepted communications were in fact masked, but that he could still figure out the probable identity of the parties,” Schiff said.

Mr. Nunes flat panic indicates that he saw a reference to himself in those transcripts. That would mean that he knows that Page – the legal target of a FISA warrant – was recorded, and he is “US Person X” in those transcripts.:weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated:

In March, the press was confused by the Nunes reference to “incidental collection”, assuming that he must be talking about Kislyak intercepts with Mike Flynn. FISA warrants are normally granted on foreign entities; the direct targeting of Carter Page was very unusual, and the press had no idea that Page was under a FISA warrant in December. It should be noted that Nunes said that Trump, too, appears on these transcripts.

Nunes Leaked That the FBI Was Investigating Boris Epshteyn on Fox News
To recap my piece, I chose to reveal that Page, Manafort and Epshteyn were named in the June FISA warrant application because Devin Nunes was revealing evidence on live TV. On March 19th, Nunes said to Fox’s Chris Wallace

“If you look at the folks today who are working at the Trump White House, I don’t think there’s anybody there but one who are under any kind of investigation or surveillance activity”

So Nunes literally broadcast to America that he knew a White House staffer was under investigation and surveillance!

On March 24th, Director Comey arrived at the White House. On March 27th, Boris Epshteyn unceremoniously resigned
. :weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated::weebaynanimated:Some time after this, I reported exclusively, and events subsequently confirmed, that Devin Nunes had his clearance – access to view TS/SCI materials – stripped, leaving him only with ‘Top Secret’ access. He was unable to write the nonsense Nunes memo because, as Adam Schiff pointed out, despite being chairman of the House intelligence committee, Nunes is unable to look at the upper Top Secret classification.

I am confident that all Mr. Page’s conversations from Moscow are on legal intercepts that Mueller can use in court; and that Devin Nunes is on those intercepts.:weebaynanimated:
