Devin Nunes warns Jeff Sessions that FBI may have violated criminal statutes with FISA applications
by Daniel Chaitin | Mar 1, 2018, 10:12 PM
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., informed the Justice Department on Thursday that the FBI may have violated criminal statutes when it sought Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to spy on ex-Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

The move comes two days after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the DOJ's inspector general will investigate the alleged FISA abuses.

In a letter sent to Sessions, Nunes wrote that the apparent use of the controversial "Trump dossier" to make the case for spying on Page suggests a "clear violation" of FBI protocols because it contained unverified information. And such a breach of protocol may have violated five criminal statutes, including conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and contempt of court.

Nunes asked Sessions to answer two questions. One concerns the FBI protocols that appear to have been violated, via the 2011 Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide. Nunes asked if there has been an update to the October 2011 version, which said "only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications to the court.”


The second question asked what steps the DOJ or the FBI has taken to "hold accountable those officials who violated these protocols," if the guide has not been updated since 2011.

Nunes is demanding a response by March 8, in exactly one week. His letter, first obtained by Fox News, shows that FBI Director Christopher Wray and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz were carbon copied.

Trump confidant dumped millions in steel-related stock last week.

Billionaire investor and longtime Trump confidant Carl Icahn dumped $31.3 million of stock in a company heavily dependent on steel last week, just days before Trump announced plans to impose steep tariffs on steel imports.

In a little-noticed SEC filing submitted on February 22, 2018, Icahn disclosed that he systematically sold off nearly 1 million shares of Manitowoc Company Inc.

Manitowoc is a “is a leading global manufacturer of cranes and lifting solutions” and, therefore, heavily dependent on steel to make its products.

The filing came just seven days before a White House event where Trump announced his intention of imposing a 25 percent tariff on steel imports.

Trump’s announcement rattled the markets, with steel-dependent stocks hardest hit.

Manitowoc stock plunged, losing about 6 percent of its value.

Reuters attributed the drop to the fact that Manitowoc is a “major consumer of steel.”

As of 10:20 a.m. Friday, the stock had lost an additional 6 percent, trading at $26.21.

Icahn was required to make the disclosure because of the large volume of his sale.

The filing reveals that he began systematically selling the stock on February 12, when he was able to sell the stock for $32 to $34.



Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross publicly released a report on February 16 calling for a 24 percent tariff.

But, as the chart in the SEC filing indicates, Icahn started selling his Manitowoc stock on February 12, prior to the public release of that report.

Moreover, the sharp drop in steel-related stocks did not occur until Trump announced he would accept the Commerce Department’s recommendations.

Before February, Icahn was not actively trading Manitowoc stock.

According to regulatory filings, he did not buy or sell any shares of Manitowoc between January 17, 2015 and February 11, 2018.

The February 22 filing was required because his ownership stake dropped below 5 percent.

Now that he owns less than 5 percent of the company, he is not required to make another disclosure about his holdings until May.

So while the latest filing shows him still retaining some stock in Manitowoc, Icahn could have continued selling the stock.

If Manitowoc is not listed on the eventual May filing — called a Schedule 13F — that would mean he has liquidated all his holdings.

Icahn, a billionaire investor with far-flung holdings, is a close associate of Trump — who invoked Icahn’s name repeatedly on the campaign trail.

Once in office, Trump installed Icahn as a “special adviser,” although Icahn did not not unwind his business entanglements before accepting the position.

Putin is boasting that he has new nuclear weapons that make NATO's missile defense useless, and shows an animation of missiles targeting Florida, and not one word from the SCROTUS about that.

Governor Activates PA National Guard to Help with Winter Storm Response

HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has activated the Pennsylvania National Guard to help emergency crews respond to Friday’s severe weather in northeastern Pennsylvania.

“Our National Guard members will assist local responders and residents during this severe storm and the state continues to field and fulfill local requests for resources,” Governor Wolf said.

“We are very fortunate that they live and work in our communities and are able to mobilize on short notice in order to provide help.

Their service is vital to our commonwealth, especially during difficult weather.”

The activated National Guard members will report to their local armories and will begin helping overnight and into the day Saturday, the governor’s office said.

Senate prepares to roll back banking rules, with red-state Democrats voicing support
More than a dozen Democrats in the Senate, some of whom face tough midterm election contests, are ready to give Republicans the votes they need to weaken the Dodd-Frank regulations passed after the 2008 financial crisis. The move would sap one of former president Barack Obama’s largest legislative achievements.

Russia’s supposed “meddling” in the 2016 election has been an endless topic of news coverage, but for some reason our press has shown little interest in other instances of Russian meddling–the nuclear freeze movement of the 1980s, for example, or more recently, Russia’s effort to discredit fracking and rouse popular opposition to pipeline construction....

FBI’s Aussie Trump-Russia Tipster Linked to Firm U.S. Intel Chiefs Have Distrusted for Years
Former foreign minister was on the board of Huawei Australia and aggressively denied its cyberwarfare involvement
by Mark Tapscott | Updated 06 Mar 2018 at 3:30 PM
Alexander Downer — the Australian diplomat whose tip to the FBI about a London pub conversation led to the massive probe of allegations of collusions between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia — is himself closely tied to a Chinese firm experts say is deeply involved in espionage against America.

Just last month, all six top U.S. intelligence bosses warned Americans against using digital telecommunications equipment produced by Chinese smartphone producer Huawei....

Downer is an especially odd choice as an FBI source, given Wray’s warnings about the Chinese firm, because Downer joined the board of directors of Huawei’s Australian subsidiary in June 2011, according to The Australian newspaper.

New York Times Executive Editor Calls Opinion Page ‘Far Left Wing’In Private Meeting, Student Says
JOE SIMONSON
Media Reporter
10:04 PM 03/06/2018
The New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet labeled the paper’s opinion page as “far left wing” and defended the hiring of columnist Bret Stephens, during a private meeting with members of Stanford University’s college newspaper, according to a student at the meeting.

Baquet addressed the staff of The Stanford Daily before his scheduled public event Tuesday night. One student who does not work for the paper, Elliot Kaufman, snuck in and took notes before giving exclusive access to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

When an attendee raised the topic of journalism in the age of President Donald Trump, Baquet discussed the controversial hiring of Stephens — a self-identified “conservative” and former Wall Street Journal opinion writer.

“We already have a far left wing opinion page,” said Baquet before explaining why he thought the paper could hire someone like Stephens without fundamentally altering the section’s partisan bent.
