CNN: Robert Mugabe's legacy is complicated

No. It's not. He was a despot.
cnn.com/2019/09/06/afr…
This is a Ten Trillion Dollar note from the Bank of Zimbabwe that I keep in my office to remind me of what socialist policies bring.

Yes, you read that right. Ten Trillion...
And to those asking, yes, I really do keep it in my office as a reminder.

Took it out of case for first photo.

1) Karem came across as an absolute ass. And completely unprofessional.

2) Rudy Contreras is a former FISA judge - He presided over Flynn's guilty plea. Was forcibly recused six days later.

3) Contreras is also friends w/disgraced - and fired - FBI Agent Peter Strzok...
Any responsible news organization would have fired Karem for his outlandish behavior.

What an embarrassment.
For those asking:

"Contreras, who presided over a Dec. 1 hearing where Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his contacts with Russia, will no longer handle the case."

"Court...did not say why Contreras was recused"

According to Buzzfeed, "A man who vandalized a synagogue with Nazi symbols told federal agents his road to radicalization included ... reading Ben Shapiro."

I pulled the court records to see if this was true, what I found is in this thread...
Nolan Brewer never mentioned Ben Shapiro or Breitbart in his interview with federal agents as reported.

The reference was in a document his defense lawyer filed, called a Sentencing Memorandum.

These distinctions matter.
There's no evidence to indicate that Nolan Brewer ever read Ben Shapiro, and a search history of his computer mostly turns up searches for Hitler and Nazi propaganda.

Very telling point from Kramer's deposition:

He didn't first contact many of these reporters. He states clearly in his testimony that soon after he was given the dossier, the reporters started calling HIM to ask him what he'd done with it thus far, passed to McCain yet, etc.
Page 48 of the deposition is where Kramer is asked about media contacts he had once he'd received the dossier from Simpson/Steele and had passed it on to Sen. John McCain.

Look carefully at what he says:
McCain made the handoff of the dossier on Dec. 9.

The lawyer questioning Kramer at the depostion uses the date "Dec. 10" to denote the hand off had already happened, so what subsequent media contact did Kramer have about the dossier from that point forward.

@RepMarkMeadows We will discuss the following article, knowing what we know now.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
@RepMarkMeadows It sure sounds like this is referring to George, and it is highly likely there are recordings. We should hear those recordings.

George wasn’t meeting with Russians, he was meeting with Western Intel assets.
@RepMarkMeadows This entire passage is incorrect.

Trump associates were intentionally targeted and there was no five eyes Intel.

Mueller's probe is entering it's 'critical phase' according to the media.

They still haven't figured out what's going on.

Dan Coats, Mike Pompeo, Mike Rogers....these guys aren't being interviewed by Mueller in regards to nailing Trump.
Trump actually IS looking forward to being interviewed by Mueller.

What do you think Coats, Pompeo, Rogers &Trump told/will tell Mueller in these interviews?

When they became aware of the 'secret society' making it's moves to spy on/entrap Trump & his people.
It's all coming together. The plotters spent the time from the election to early Jan. setting up a plan to use Flynn's phone calls about Russian sanctions as a pretext to launch an investigation they could turn into an impeachment.
