Anyhoo, Firtash appears to be the source for much of Solomon’s material. Solomon’s either a useful idiot or something worse.

I don’t know who this Cheney guy is, but his commenters were almost uniformly leftist, including one of Manju’s colleagues.

Parnas and Fruman are indicted so the Burisma investigation by Giuliani will come back to haunt Trump.

Burisma >>Shokin affidavit>>Firtash>>Giuliani>>Trump

Manju’s hobby.

Did Obama Apply His Clinton Rules to the Bidens?

Representatives of a Ukrainian company used the family connection to lobby the State Department.
It’s not clear whether the Ukrainian company Burisma got its money’s worth when it paid handsomely to add Hunter Biden to its board. But the company’s representatives used the family name in attempting to influence the U.S. Government while Joe Biden was Vice President.

If an American business made a similar effort with the son of a government official overseas, it would likely attract a U.S. Department of Justice investigation under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. So why shouldn’t the United States urge that other countries also examine such arrangements?

The Journal’s Jessica Donati reports that a consulting firm hired by Burisma mentioned that “Joe Biden’s son served on the Ukrainian gas company’s board so the firm could leverage a meeting with the State Department, according to documents and a former U.S. official.”

The documents were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the Southeastern Legal Foundation on behalf of its client John Solomon. Ms. Donati adds:

The documents—email exchanges between State Department staff members made public this week—show that the consulting firm, Washington-based Blue Star Strategies, used Hunter Biden’s name in a request for a State Department meeting and then mentioned him again during the meeting as part of an effort to improve Burisma’s image in Washington.

Mr. Biden was appointed to the Burisma board in 2014, when the company and its owner faced allegations of corruption, and he remained there until April of this year… Hunter Biden served on Burisma’s board when his father, then the vice president, was overseeing U.S. efforts to get Ukraine to reduce corruption.

Not a small thing.
And son Hunter Biden was over there as a parasite sucking money out of Ukraine!

So our president does not get to ask if there was any funny Biden business going on over in Ukraine?

Here is what the Washington Examiner reports today: “Alexander Vindman, the Army lieutenant colonel and Ukraine director on the National Security Council who testified on Capitol Hill last month, works with the whistleblower who filed a complaint against President Trump, according to former White House officials.

“The Washington Examiner has established that the whistleblower is a career CIA analyst who was detailed to the NSC at the White House during the Obama administration and left during the first year of the Trump administration. During the Obama administration, the whistleblower worked on Ukraine issues with 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden, who was then vice president and designated as the point man on Ukraine. It is likely that the whistleblower traveled on Air Force Two at least one of the six visits that Biden made to Ukraine.”

Biden likely personally extorted millions from Ukraine on those visits.

It’s what Democrats do.

to give you a taste… [for laymen not coders, so dont get all up in it if its simplified]
one of the older hacks for PDF was to define a invalid postscript fonts… why? because fonts at are stored in the kernel, behind the operating system and below it. now the trick here was to actually have your code be generated by the output of a mathematical formula that was used to create curves in fonts which would write outside the bounds of the area, and into other areas and so be activated.. .

there are more of them

The DNC server was examined by Crowdstrike as mentioned by Trump in his call with Zelensky. Crowdstrtike identified the DNC server hacker as “Fancy Bear and/or Cozy Bear” known Russian hacking signatures. (Not Gucifer 2.0, a Hungarian hacker who claimed he did the hacking.) The DNC did not allow the FBI to examine its server to verify the hacker’s identity. So, the identity revelaed by the DNC and Crowdstrike may be fictitious or it may be misleading. Assange claims that he didn’t get the DNC e-mails from the Russians, for whatever that’s worth. But why didn’t Mueller’s team at least go to London and depose him? He knows who gave him the e-mails. He might have been willing to tell Mueller the truth in exchange for a writ of leniency in the charges against him from the “Chelsea” Manning leaks. That Mueller didn’t do so that indicates to me that they weren’t searching for the facts. They “knew” the Russians did it. Their minds were made up. They just had to prove Trump was privy to the info.

Another fact worth mentioning is that the U.S., China, and Russia can hack into a server and leave a false fingerprint – making identifying the true hacker difficult/impossible. It isn’t too big a leap to conclude that Brennan’s CIA team hacked the DNC server and left the Russian fingerprint as an intentional misdirection to make it look like the Russians were helping Trump. No, that gives Brennan and company entirely too much credit for deviousness. Doesn’t it?

Issued by President Barack Obama in 2009, Executive Order 13526 replaced earlier executive orders on the topic and modified the regulations codified to 32 C.F.R. 2001. It lays out the system of classification, declassification, and handling of national security information generated by the U.S. government and its employees and contractors, as well as information received from other governments.

The United States does not have a British-style Official Secrets Act; instead, several laws protect classified information, including the Espionage Act of 1917, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982.

Declassification is the process of removing the classification of a document and opening it for public inspection.

Experts agreed that the president, as commander-in-chief, is ultimately responsible for classification and declassification. When someone lower in the chain of command handles classification and declassification duties — which is usually how it’s done — it’s because they have been delegated to do so by the president directly, or by an appointee chosen by the president.

The official documents governing classification and declassification stem from executive orders. But even these executive orders aren’t necessarily binding on the president. Indeed, the controlling executive order has been rewritten by multiple presidents. The current version of the order was issued by President Barack Obama in 2009.

A president, using powers granted by the Constitution, is able to declassify essentially anything. – Risch

And while the liberal press and others want this to be invalidated in terms of “payback”, it cant be…
because such a thing cant be used in anticipation, but only AFTER the fact… and so, there is no way to prevent such action

Beware acting too far on a president, for in his hands is the power to open up many many books inconvenient for any reason, including payback

It is important to remember that power over classification and declassification rests fully with the president, and the president can delegate declassification authority among his senior intelligence advisors—a group that includes the attorney general—as he wishes.

HE holds the power to say screw it, and lets open up the books, names and all, and reveal anything he wants…

Executive Order 12356 — Information originated by a President, the White House Staff, by committees, commissions, or boards appointed by the President, or others specifically providing advice and counsel to a President or acting on behalf of a President is exempted from the provisions of Section 3.4(a).

and so Section 3.5(a) is contained in Sec. 1.6 Limitations on Classification. – which makes for an interesting read when applied to things going on:

(a) In no case shall information be classified in order to conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error; to prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency; to restrain competition; or to prevent or delay the release of information that does not require protection in the interest of national security.

Now remember… all this is controlled by Executive Orders, and a sitting president can change them at whim…

You want to know what happened with Kennedy? fine… he can release it
Want to know all the details of Benghazi… he can do that too
in fact.. there is not a thing or piece of information that he can be compelled to keep secret if he feels he shouldnt

you really want to put the fear into the democrats and the congress..
just open the books on large scale events that people want to know, and havent been able to know

oh… and his powers remain till he is completely out of office…
let them scream, let them howl, but at the end of the day, he can pull a huge nuclear move.

he can sit in a fireside chat and say under executive order xxx i will release YYY, zzz, and ZBAZZ
Call it the Covfefe order to inform the public of political shenanigans..

While more junior people and those who are not voted into office may not realize to what degree this power goes
i am sure that Nancy Pelosi and a hell of a lot of others are very aware, and aware that if Trump was as unhinged as they say
bombing another state which he would have a problem doing, is nothing like the bomb of opening up the books for a look see

The problem that one has going after a man who is honest yet perceived as not, may be his opening up the pages to prove it…

this is the REAL nuclear option…

and as a lame duck in 2nd term, they may fear this more than anything else..

I think Nancy Pelosi has lost control of the House Dems. She must know that if there is an impeachment trial, or even public House “impeachment inquiry” hearings, that a lot of very bad stuff will come out that will severely hurt the Dems in 2020. Whether she can derail the runaway train is a question.

[snip]
According to a column from Larry C. Johnson, who is a former analyst at the CIA, Brennan created a secret task force to combat the election of Trump.

Johnson says the “invitation-only” task force was created in early 2016.

Johnson says the average American has no idea how badly Brennan wanted to stop Trump because he desperately wanted to get Hillary Clinton into the White House.

Brennan was so desperate, according to Johnson, that it led to him creating this secret task force with the mission of spying on and carrying out covert actions against the campaign of then-candidate Trump.

I am told by an knowledgeable source that Brennan created a Trump Task Force in early 2016. It was an invitation only Task Force. Specific case officers (i.e., men and women who recruit and handle spies overseas), analysts and admin personnel were recruited. Not everyone invited accepted the offer. But many did.

This was not a CIA only operation. Personnel from the FBI also were assigned to the Task Force. We have some clues that Christopher Steele’s FBi handler, Michael Gaeta, may have been detailed to the Trump Task Force.

So what kind of things would this Task Force do? The case officers would work with foreign intelligence services such as MI-6, the Italians, the Ukrainians and the Australians on identifying intelligence collection priorities. Task Force members could task NSA to do targeted collection. They also would have the ability to engage in covert action, such as targeting George Papadopoulos.
Joseph Mifsud may be able to shed light on the CIA officers who met with him, briefed on operational objectives regarding Papadopoulos and helped arrange monitored meetings. I think it is highly likely that the honey pot that met with George Papadopoulos, a woman named Azra Turk, was part of the CIA Trump Task Force.

The Task Force also could carry out other covert actions, such as information operations. A nice sounding euphemism for propaganda, and computer network operations. There has been some informed speculation that Guccifer 2.0 was a creation of this Task Force.
