Trump-bashing Candorville cartoonist arrested for child p0rn0graphy.

NY Post: Trump-bashing, Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist arrested on child porn charges.

A Trump-bashing, Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist — whose illustrations have been published by the Washington Post, New Yorker and Los Angeles Times — was arrested for possession of child pornography.

Darrin Bell, the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartoons, was busted Wednesday and booked in California’s Sacramento County after detectives from the Internet Crimes Against Children unit were tipped off by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, law enforcement officials said.

In a search of Bell’s home, detectives found 134 videos of child pornography linked to an account owned and controlled by the 49-year-old married father of four as well as computer-generated artificial intelligence child pornography, authorities said Thursday.

Wiki: Darrin Bell bio.

Black and Jewish? "Yo-Yo, Rabbi, Shuditdown, Knowwhatimsayin!"

Bell was the cartoonist of Candorville. A lame comic strip that, by comparison, makes "Family Circus" appear as the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

The Desk: Newspapers drop “Candorville” comic after arrest of cartoonist Darrin Bell.

I'm sure this is a complete shock to everyone who knows, and whoever met, Darrin Bell. No one knew anything. No one was remotely suspicious of anything. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Sure. Hope authorities can tie the data to all the others involved.

Those handwritten notes from the FBI Michael Flynn interview. "What is our goal? ...get him to lie?"

The Washington Times: Get Flynn to lie.

Bombshell documents unsealed late Wednesday revealed that top FBI officials viewed the goal of interviewing former national security adviser Michael Flynn in 2017 as to “get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired.”

A handwritten note included in the documents disclosed that agents wanted to get Flynn to “admit breaking the Logan Act,” which restricts communication between private citizens and foreign governments, and catch him in a lie.

It is not immediately clear who authored the note, but Fox News reported it was written by former FBI general counsel James A. Baker.

Here’s a quick exclusive Tuesday night from Fox News’ Jake Gibson, who says multiple sources tell him that U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is tasked with investigating the origins of the 2016 Russian collusion hoax and the intelligence community’s role in it, is expanding his investigation and widening his timeline.

This must please the DEMS, huh? They always favor expanding and widening the scope of never-ending investigations, especially when it's directed at their political opponents. And since No One Is Above The Law, The DEMS will fully cooperate, and be as transparent as they demand from others, with Durham and Company. Right?

Nadler to subpoena Barron Trump's past letters to Santa Claus.

CBS News: Jerry Nadler talks next steps of holding Trump administration accountable.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler told reporters Friday that while his committee continues negotiating with former White House Counsel Don McGahn over an outstanding subpoena for testimony, if there's no resolution in their discussions, the committee plans to go to court seek their enforcement of the subpoena early next week.

Nadler told reporters that the committee would also be filing an application for the grand jury material underlying former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia report.
[.]
"We will continue to seek testimony from key fact witnesses..our work will continue into the August recess," [said Nadler].
[.]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to resist those calls, Nadler said the caucus will "do what we have to" to hold the president accountable. He appeared in lockstep, however, with the speaker's assessment that in order to impeach, "we must make the strongest possible case."

Yeah, Congress needs a 5 or 6 week recess vacation because they work so hard and for such long hours...for teh peepols.

The Never-Ending Investigation is Pure Comedy Gold. The DEMS have no idea how oft-putting their Clown Show is to rational-thinking Americans.

Recall the DEMS PUMA, "Party Unity My Ass"? When, in 2008 Hillary Clinton was thrown under the bus for the presidential party nomination and instead crowned that "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking storybook guy," Barack Hussein Obama as their candidate?

The PUMA's rose again during the 2016 presidential campaign when the DNC dirty-tricksters threw the preferred candidate, Crazy Bernie Sanders, under the bus and rigged the nomination for Hillary. Sanders supporters did not take kindly to this.

DEMS have no concept of backfire.

Mueller's Testimony, body language and GPS Fusion.

Bob's Nothing Burgers.

Bob Mueller Family Circus.

Mueller Report makes Liberal Heads explode.

Mueller Report leaves Mitt Romney, "sickened."

Mueller Testimony, his body language and Fusion GPS.

Elderly man said some things.

In Wednesday's oh-so-crucial-for-the-DEMS Clown Show, Bob Mueller testified that he was not familiar with Fusion GPS.

Washington Examiner: Mueller not familiar with Fusion GPS.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller declined to answer questions on why any direct mention of Fusion GPS was omitted from his 448-page report on the Russia investigation.

“I’m not familiar with that,” Mueller said when asked about the indirect mention of the opposition research firm in his report.

Check out Fusion GPS' Web site. Be careful, though. It's easy to get lost in their flashy, Java-laden, confusing and complicated design.

Tonya Reiman, a guest on Wednesday night's FOX The Ingraham Angle, said the following about Mueller's body language in Wednesday's two hearings (I'm paraphrasing):

• Mueller doodled: helps the process of "going through the process".
• Mueller's hand gesturing and waving a pen he was holding: a way to shed nervous energy.
• Mueller's hands tightly-folded and fingers intertwined: represents restraint.
• Mueller would stick out only the tip of his tongue: a sign that the person speaking doesn't like their own words they are saying.
• Mueller being reminded to speak into the microphone: reluctance; looking to be prompted by others.
• Mueller's mouth agape and jaw-shifting: disagreement, uncertainty, frustrated.
• Mueller leaned back in his chair - distancing himself - when the questions were adversarial, but sat straight and upright during other types of questioning.
• Overall, his body language indicated he didn't want to be there.

More on Mueller's body language at Northeastern Ed: Robert Mueller was a reluctant witness. It really showed in his testimony to Congress.

“He did not engage in behaviors that might suggest he was enjoying the hearing,” [said Laura Dudley, a behavior analyst at Northeastern]. “Sometimes during hearings, we see people who seem initially nervous and then begin to ‘settle in,’ appearing more comfortable, ad-libbing, and smiling. This did not happen with Mueller. If anything, he appeared more weary as the questioning continued.”

When he was asked who appointed him as a U.S. Attorney, Mueller replied it was President George H.W. Bush. It was President Ronald Regan who appointed Mueller.

Mueller was also asked what he knew - and he refused to answer - about leaks regarding the raid on Roger Stone's home, considering CNN reported the raid in real-time. Where are the DEMS and their soap boxes when you need them? The DEMS always support whistle-blowers and want to know their identity. That's part of the investigation to release unredacted. Someone leaked that - let's find out who. But no DEM called for this unredacted release. Maybe this info isn't important to DEMS. It might hurt Their Precious Liberal Fictional Narrative?

The DEMS thought Mueller's testimony would bring deliverance to any number of their many imaginary high crimes and misdemeanors committed by President Donald Trump. The DEMS (again) overplayed a hand they never had.

The late afternoon brought President Trump saying, "the democrats had nothing. And now they have less than nothing." Precisely.

The DEMS will, "get nothing and like it."

Who actually wrote Muller's Book Report? We don't know. He was asked if, as part of his staffing during his investigation, he asked others of their political affiliation. He said , "no." Well, I'd think a DC-insider like Mueller would know who's who after almost 40 years. He didn't have to ask. He knew who he was getting and he got anyone and everyone he wanted. Many of them he probably doesn't know.

Is AG Barr about to expose the Mother of All Scandals?

Via Hans100 @SomeFreedomDude by way of Pamela Geller

Geller Report: Bill Barr to expose Spygate and the Democrat-Media Russia Collusion Complex is panicking.

It was Barr’s comments about spying on the Trump campaign, and his pledge to investigate that spying, that explains the frenzy to take down Barr. That spying, regardless of whether lawful, has the potential to be a scandal that could touch deep into the Obama administration, and some former officials who loom large in the anti-Trump resistance.
[.]
Barr is the single greatest threat to the Democrat-Media Russia Collusion Complex. That’s why Democrats, with help from the mainstream media, will spare no effort to tarnish Barr as a way of discrediting the investigative train that is rolling down the tracks.

AG William Barr PWNS Libs in today's Senate Hearing.

AG William Barr PWNED both DEM Senators Richard Blumenthal and the covetous Kamela Harris, one of the 937 DEM 2020 candidates running for president.

It's obvious from their questioning of Mr. Barr that neither Blumenthal or Harris have read the 400-plus page report of their Beloved-Hated-Beloved-Hated-Beloved-now Ambivalent-soon to be hated again-Patron Saint Robert Mueller.

In the clip, Blumenthal is seated behind the nameplate of Hawaii's DEM Senator Crazy Mazie Hirono. Harris managed to locate the right seating placement - good for her! Well...someone likely helped her find the way there.

Business Insider via AOL: Dems tell William Barr he should resign.

It's amazing (not really) at how quickly The Libs demand someone - in this case AG Barr - resign, when, like misbehaving, petulant children, the Dems don't get their way.

How many years did we hear from The Libs that, "we'll have to wait until The Mueller Report is concluded"?

Mueller finally wraps it up. The Libs didn't like that Barr held a news conference prior to releasing Mueller's findings. Had Barr not had a press conference, he'd have been accused of lacking transparency and attempting to obfuscate his interpretations on Mueller's Report. Barr was in a No-Win situation - as is anyone when it comes to dealing with Liberals - no matter what he did or didn't say, or do or didn't do, prior to releasing Mueller's report.

A much less redacted Mueller report is available for these elected public SERVANTS to read, yet it's reported only Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, opted to view it.

Why haven't The Libs read it? Because it contradicts the illusionary story they so desperately want to believe.

Because the results of Mueller's investigation didn't clearly prove, "Trump = Guilty", The Libs lost interest in it. Instead, they pursue odious and loathsome personal attacks against anyone who won't play with them in their fictional narrative world that doesn't exist. Because what they wanted was something Mueller couldn't authenticate, not even circumstantially.

The NY Post: Dems’ pathetic posturing at Barr hearing wasted everyone’s time. Well, this is what Libs do best; waste time. When they're not deflecting onto others what they are guilty of themselves and busy covering up their own ethical and legal infractions.

Barr won't appear at Thursday's House panel. Good! All of these Libs can pound sand. Tons of desert sand. And Class 5 gravel.
 
It appears it's still good market-timing for getting into popcorn commodities.

Mitt Romney panders to the Left...again.

Mitt Romney tweets he is "sickened" by redacted Mueller Report:

Mitt, the Left never loved you and they never will. I guess he likes being a tool and useful idiot for the political party of which he claims he's not a member. Uh-huh.

Who and which party cares "more about tearing down the president than building up America"?

"Their number one priorty was not to put America back to work, it was to put the president out of work."

"They gonna put y'all back in chains."

Nice bunch of folks:

Nadler for redactions in 1998 to protect "what is fit for release and what is the matter of decency and protecting people's privacy rights, people who may be totally innocent third-parties and what must not be released at all."

From (the lecherous) Charlie Rose program in 1998:

Extra points if you can find his neck:

Reference: "Pot Pie!"

Dems feign outrage; planning big grandstanding theatrical production.

I predicted this would happen.

Newsweek: Pelosi and Schumer demand Mueller testify before congress.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer issued a joint statement calling for special counsel Robert Mueller to publicly testify before Congress[.]

I asked in an earlier post how long it would take for Libs to hate Robert Mueller...again. Bob, aren't you happy to have associated with these wonderful, fact-based, rational people? They loved you, they hated you, they loved you, they hated you, they loved you. Now, they're back to hating you.

Newsweek: Fat Jerry Nadler issues a subpoena for the unredacted Mueller Report.

“My committee needs and is entitled to the full version of the report and the underlying evidence consistent with past practice,” Nadler, a Democrat from New York, said in a statement with the subpoena. “The redactions appear to be significant. We have so far seen none of the actual evidence that the special counsel developed to make this case.”

And there it is, we have it - the special word invoked by Dems when they want something: "Entitled."

Nadler can view the full, unredacted report. All he has to do is waddle his fat, butterball ass down to the Department of Justice and he can read the full unredacted Mueller Report. Just like Sandy Berger did with the classified documents regarding the 9/11 report.

Business Insider: Total redactions in Mueller Report between 6% and 12%.

ProPublica, hardly a Right-leaning organization, puts the percentage of redactions at SIX percent:

Let's pin the percentage at 9%, midpoint between 6 and 12. That's nothing, although it is a percent that is exceedingly higher than a tip Bernie Sanders would leave at a restaurant.

Fervid Grandstanding and Whining. No ONE does this better than Dems.

All 435 House seats are open come the 2020 election and 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate. It's time to oust the Dems. Every single one of them.

Marketwatch: Will the The Mueller Report impact the stock market?

ABC 7 LA: What you won't see in the redacted report.

And Salon, of course...Salon... Already pitching the "cover-up" narrative.

Liberal Hysteria now surpassing previously established epidemic level of derangement.

The Liberal Reaction we expect from AG William Barr's Release on The Mueller Investigation

AG William Barr's release of the Mueller Investigation is scheduled for release on Thursday morning. Barr said there will be redactions and color-coded references explaining the redactions. I'd guess both Barr's report and Mueller's investigation will contain copious amounts of footnotes or other addendum and a list of references that spans the distance from the sun to Pluto.  Maybe there will be artist sketches, clip art, cartoon figures, charts or diagrams for the Liberals. Maybe there will be an audio version of the report narrated by the dulcet and coherent tones of Bernie Sanders. If I had to listen to the audio version, I'd prefer hearing it read by Otis Campbell, but that's just me.

Whatever doesn't fit the Liberal Narrative from Barr's report will be regarded and labeled a cover-up, a scheme to "protect" President Donald Trump or the Libs will blame William Barr, Robert Mueller, James Comey - or someone else (the Mossad? Gilligan? Fearless Leader? No, no, no. Moose AND Squirrel!) - instead of accepting the report for what it is.

ABC News: Barr and Mueller "old friends" for 30 years and Muller worked with Barr on the report's release. 

The Libs will focus on what is not in the report. They will tell us that what's not in the report is "very deeply concerning" to them (key word, "deeply")  and that Barr didn't attain the "level of transparency they established."

What's not in the report, evidence supporting of -- take your pick;  Trump-Russia/Russia-Wikileaks/Russia-Russia/Russia-Other/Russia-The Pod People -- collusion, will be where the Libs steer their narrative. A compliant media will happily be the galactic echo chamber.

Redacted information in Barr's report will be for the usual, acceptable legal standards and reasons -  national security, international security/foreign relations, protecting and preventing the publication of the names of private citizens and anonymous sources - will be met by Libs with great skepticism. Deep, deep skepticism. And concern. A lot of Liberal "concern" will occur. Oh, how Libs normally love anonymous sources, except when those sources fail to uphold the Liberal Narrative.

Jump with me here. Why does Julian Assange continue steadfastly denying Russia being part of Wikileaks and the emails of Hillary Clinton and John Podesta? Could it be because it's true? Assange has nothing to lose, and so much to gain, if he stated, "yes, it was Russia." Yet he's never said that. Wikileaks doesn't have a high failure rate.

Assange has hinted that his source was Seth Rich, whose murder remains unsolved. Rich worked for the DNC and he supported the 2016 Dem presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. You can do your own searches on Seth Rich-Julian Assange. Don't forget to include Guccifer 2.0 and Fancy Bear in your searching. The number of actors in this production are many, yet, there is no indication of one distinct person whose name doesn't appear in The Cast of Characters of Russian Collusion; Donald Trump.

The varying degrees of accuracy, skepticism and opinion of the Rich-Assange relationship, if any, is as contentious as it is conspiracy. But we do know this: Rich supported Sanders. Rich was murdered. Shortly after his murder, Wikileaks dumped a lot of intel. The timing...coincidental? Assange is not the only one linking Seth Rich to Wikileaks. Where's a good Liberal Conspiracy Theorist when you really need one?

We'll also be treated to just how quickly these literate, "luminary", hellbent Liberal Collusion "Truthers" will read the Barr Report. Remember, Barr rightly allocated enough time to review the Mueller investigation in order to provide an accurate, unbiased, factual analysis with its foundation a legal interpretation. Start the stopwatch the moment the Libs are handed the Barr Report and track how much time they take to issue...well, I was going to write...a coherent and rational response. But that, I think, is setting our expectations of the Libs far too high. Deeply, concerningly too high.

It will take some time for anyone and everyone to read the Barr-Mueller Report. Any immediate, knee-jerk reaction from The Left fixating on what's not in the report - evidence of Trump/Russia/Election/Collusion - will be recognized for the the partisan ploy it is.

Remember the original allegation that Donald Trump would claim the election is rigged if Hillary Clinton won? Remember the allegation was that not respecting the results of the election is a direct threat to our democracy? Remember when we were told we accepted the results of presidential elections even though we may not have liked them? Remember when candidates who lose sometimes start complaining that they got cheated? Remember...?

What do you think the Liberal reaction to the Barr Report will be like? Please chime in and leave a comment.

Libs Love-Hate-Love-Hate Affair with Wikileaks.

The Libs hypocrisy with Wikileaks, no different than their love-hate-love-hate behavior directed towards James Comey and Robert Mueller.
