Full details here on the evolving story of the arrest of Cameron Ortis, a director general in an RCMP intelligence unit in Ottawa, on multiple charges under the Security of Information Act and the Criminal Code. globalnews.ca/news/5899146/s…
This is a huge story coming out of Ottawa today.

Ortis is a top level intelligence official within the national police force with a specialization in East Asian cyber security.
He's facing five charges related to unauthorized use of a computer and leaking sensitive operational information, as well as obtaining access to a device “useful for concealing the content of information or surreptitiously communicating, obtaining or retaining information."
In total, Ortis faces up to 33 years in prison on the charges.
Ortis is set to appear in the Ottawa courthouse at 2 PM today and the case is expected to be put over at that time.
UPDATE: Sources with knowledge of national security investigations described Ortis to @scoopercooper as former RCMP Comm. Bob Paulson’s most elite advisor on national security and sensitive investigations. globalnews.ca/news/5899146/s…

“The decisions made [regarding fighter jet replacement] were purely for reasons of political interest: not a single one could be claimed as being in the country’s national interest.”
'According to documents never before seen by the public, the OAG had specifically cautioned the government against its chosen course of purchasing Australian Hornets as an interim measure in a draft report – and the final OAG report was heavily revised to obscure that ."
"Worse still, letters from US officials reveal that 'resentment and distrust towards the government of Canada had grown, particularly within the US Air Force.'"

1. How weird was it today to read Cameron Ortis, the Canadian arrested and charged with violation of rare nat. sec. laws, was working on the Prevezon Russian money laundering case even last month? So weird. Recall this is case which partly implicated Trump campaign to Russia
2. because of this infamous "Trump Tower" meeting including Donald Trump Jr, Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, others. Set up through Rob Goldstone + the Agalarov's.

So wait, what would Mr. Ortis have to do with this case? Browder...
naturally. 👀
theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
3. So he initially met with Mr. Browder along with several other Canadian officials to discuss the money-laundering complaint he had filed to the RCMP. He handed over "1,000 pages worth of evidence." Oddly, Mr. Ortis also handled Browder's security traveling in/out of Canada. 👀

Today's stubbornly-low oil prices even lower oil prices expected in 2020 are standing in the way of MbS’ grand ambitions.

MbS wants pull off a $2 trillion valuation for the Saudi Aramco IPO, but that requires much higher oil prices.

What started as a shocking news release this past week, is the beginning of FVEY accountability in Canada. With our federal election coming, this is a hail mary for many-myself included.

About James Comey seems there are a few crusaders that want to make a patsy out of him and defend all he’s done. Let’s take a deep dive into James Come and peel back the layers. I will make this as thorough as I can, fair and balanced. I’ll start with a brief background on Comey
Come wasn’t anything other than what appears to be a hard working law student through school and clerked for several judges as a lot of Law Students do, nothing out of the ordinary. Joined the SDNY 1st as an investigator, and worked his was into the Deputy US Attorney eventually.
Worked on the takedown of the Gambino Crime family under the direction of Rudy Giuliani, Come toiled as a hard working prosecutor that showed a ton of promise, transferred to the EDVA & took down the Khobar Bombers. Up to that point in 2002 he looked to be the next up and comer.

Here is the Court's full 33-page ruling in the Epstein plea deal case (Doe v. US), in which the court held "there was a violation of the victims rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act"

docdro.id/JyIpXa4
The Epstein crimes are now well-known. The lesser-known facts set forth by the Court are disturbing:

A Palm Beach Prosecutor telling the DOJ he was "Glad we could get this worked out for reasons I won't put in writing."

Meaning secret reasons to keep Epstein out of prison.
On of the DOJ prosecutors handling the case - Marie Villafana - made this admission:

They "never conferred with the victims about a [Non-Prosecution Agreement] or told the victims that such an agreement was under consideration."

She still works for the DOJ.
