Ex-CIA director says Fox is 'on notice' for its Mueller hit jobs
Less than a week ago Carl Bernstein said Fox News is “abetting a cover-up” by the White House, where the creature who slithers around that place throws s**t 24/7 at the FBI and Mueller—preparing a foundation for firing the special counsel.
During an appearance on CNN, Bernstein said that the attacks on Mueller by conservative news hosts, largely on Fox News, are helping White House staffers run a cover up linked to Mueller’s investigation.
Today former CIA Director James Woolsey, who briefly served Trump's t***sition team until old s**tface started dumping on the intelligence community, told Fox, and particularly Lou Dobbs, that they’re “on notice” for trying to shut down the investigation with a stack of lies about “bias.”
Early this week Deputy AG Rosenstein testified that there’s no reason to question Mueller’s objectivity.
Dobbs then said that he finds it “stunning that [Deputy Attorney General] Rob Rosenstein doesn’t find any need for any concern whatsoever, and even as his entire department has been ripped asunder by so many conflicts of interest.”
Maytag Man Dobbs echoed the Daily Caller’s “hopelessly c*********d” description of the investigation, joining the Fox drumbeat. Woolsey said the White House and Fox News stories, abetted by a growing number of toadies in Congress, amount to a “conspiratorial hit job” on Mueller.
Meanwhile the investigation has arrested four bottom feeders from Trump’s team, securing two guilty pleas in this “h**x.” Fox and the president keep saying there’s nothing there and “everyone agrees.” WTF! No, hardly anyone agrees. One thing most people do agree on is that the arrests probably won’t end with just four. Some “h**x” or “dead-end investigation,” you fucking corporate t*****r.
I’m not sure what Woolsey means by “on notice,” but hopefully something like, Keep doing this s**t Fox and when these peckerheads in the WH are indicted, you’ll be complicit in the lies and bulls**t, and the People will sue the crap out of your ass, you lying greedy monster.

The FBI and the Justice Department certainly appear to be working against Mr Trump!

The FBI warned Donald Trump in a high-level counterintelligence briefing soon after he became the Republican nominee in the summer of 2016 that foreign adversaries, including Russia, would probably try to infiltrate his campaign, NBC News reported on Monday.

In the briefing, which is commonly given to p**********l nominees and was also provided to Democrat Hillary Clinton, the candidates were urged to tell the FBI about any suspicious overtures to their campaigns, according to multiple government officials familiar with the matter.
By the time of the warning, at least seven Trump campaign officials had been in contact with Russians or people linked to the country, according to public reports, but there is no public evidence that the campaign reported any of that to the FBI.

One such encounter was in June 2016, when Donald Trump Jr. held a meeting in Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer with ties to the Kremlin, and a Russian-American lobbyist. Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner were also there.
An email to Trump Jr. setting up the meeting promised incriminating information about Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help the Trump campaign.

Former head of FBI counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi, who is an NBC News analyst, said counterintelligence briefings "provide an opportunity for investigative subjects to be t***sparent with the bureau and to come back if such contacts are occurring because of admonishments by the bureau."
If they do not do that, he said, "a couple of factors could be at play: They didn't spread the message to the rest of the team or there is some form of guilty conscience that prohibits them."

The White House downplayed the report, with spokesman Raj Shah saying "That the Republican and Democrat nominee for president received a standardized briefing on counter-intelligence is hardly a news story. That NBC News hears about the contents of this classified conversation due to an inappropriate leak is a news story."

He is definitely irrational, among other things.

You just want to live in the fox bubble?

On Sunday night, “Judge” Jeanine Pirro flipped the American justice system upside down. She declared FBI Agent Peter Strzok “a button man in the crime family of James Comey.” According to Piro, Strzok was everywhere—from hiding all incriminating information about Hillary Clinton’s email, to commissioning the Trump dossier, “the one bought and paid for by the Clinton team.” Then Pirro went on to declare FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe the “consigliere” of this FBI-Justice Department mafia. Following these accusations, Pirro demanded again that the whole team—presumably meaning both the FBI and the special counsel—be “led out in cuffs.”
The team that Pirro is attacking includes the agents and lawyers who successfully infiltrated, took apart, tried, and destroyed the largest Mafia families in the nation. It was Comey who took on the Gambino crime family and secured 14 murder indictments. Mueller who went after John Gotti. Andrew McCabe actually headed up the FBI’s efforts against organized crime and started his career as a special agent working against the mob. Lisa Page, who Pirro sneeringly reduced to the role of “mistress” and “gumade,” previously worked as a trial attorney in the Organized Crime Section of the Justice Department, and has deep experience taking down crime bosses from Eastern Europe—including some connected to Paul Manafort.
On the other hand, Jeanine Pirro’s legal experience comes from being a county court judge over two decades ago. She’s also a failed candidate for lieutenant governor, a failed candidate for Senate, and a failed candidate for New York State attorney general. Her elevation to the limelight came during the O. J. Simpson trial, when she became a go-to TV face from the simple coincidence that she had been involved with a case where a rich husband k**led his estranged wife. And … that’s it. Her experience with the Mafia runs exactly as deep as her Netflix queue.
The astounding attack on the justice system might be easy to write off as just one more right-wing rant in an age where right-wing rants have become more common than grains of sand on a beach. But where Pirro was conducting her attack on Comey, McCabe, Mueller, Strzok, Page and others makes this far more critical than the latest lizardman threat on InfoWars.
Because Pirro is talking on Fox News. Which is increasingly working not just as the official propaganda arm of the Trump White House, but serving to both amplify Trump’s policies and corrode democracy. And it’s getting worse.
Fox News has become a 24-hour propaganda arm of the Trump White House. The only thing controversial about that statement is the phrase “has become,” as it implies this was not always true.
What makes Fox into propaganda is two things. First, there’s the close connection between the message put out by Trump’s team and that of Fox. But even more important is the gold seal of propaganda outlets—the lack of criticism.

It’s easy enough to discern some form of bias in any media outlet. But reaching the standard of propaganda goes beyond just having a slant in opinions. It requires removing facts, editing information, reversing reality, and flat-out lying to promote a singular position. Fox has easily cleared that hurdle.
But as jaw-dropping as it may be to find that the United States is hosting an official instrument of distorted state media, what’s going on at Fox News is worse than propaganda. It’s a more dangerous tool than RT or Xinhua. By far.
Fox News isn’t just echoing what the Trump White House sends it. It’s amplifying that message, turning it up to levels of distortion like that offered by Pirro, and sending it back to Trump … where it sprays out again. The result is that both Trump and his followers get a massively distorted view of both national events and national opinion. It’s very easy for Trump to say that “everyone” wants Robert Mueller fired or that “no one” believes there’s anything to the Russia investigation—because that’s exactly what Fox tells him and millions of others.
The round and round may be most obvious between Fox & Friends and Trump’s Twitter account, where you can sometimes follow the morning show’s itinerary by simply reading Trump’s tweets. This back and forth happens in real time. It’s quite likely that, on any given day, Brian Kilmeade has a much better idea of the White House agenda than John Kelly.
In the past, presidents rarely spoke directly with the press outside of scheduled press conferences. When more extensive interviews were given, they were subject to considerable planning, and care was taken to distribute these appearances to various media outlets—including appearances by President Obama on Fox News. But with Trump, those membranes between the White House and its chosen media outlet have thinned to nonexistent. Trump frequently makes direct contact with his favorite commentators. He doesn’t just use these occasions to vent frustrations and make comments that inform Fox programming, he also takes advice from Fox on how he should conduct policy.
Fox host Sean Hannity made clear in a phone call and on his show that Trump must draw a harder line on broader immigration enforcement as his price.
Trump sided with Hannity, according to a person close to the White House. The result was a list of demands unveiled Sunday night — conditions seemingly guaranteed to thwart a bipartisan deal.
It’s not just the positions where Fox is actively pushing the narrative that represent a threat. Even simply filing down the t***h to take away all the edges that might irritate Trump represents an overwhelming threat. Trump’s strange confidence that the Russia investigation is winding down, and that the only people in trouble are Comey and, remarkably, Hillary Clinton, is easy to understand when it’s passed through the filter of an outlet that never even suggests that an alternative view is possible.
