Former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer on Khashoggi:

Jamal Khashoggi was a player, not a bleeding heart liberal: Alexander Downer

2nd Source in case that one was pay-walled:

Downer: “Khashoggi had always been close to the Muslim Brotherhood, the people who took over Egypt under Morsi following the so-called Arab Spring. The [MB] is a hard-line Islamist organization dedicated to the introduction of Sharia and the creation of an Islamic caliphate.”
Downer: "They offered him $9 million to return to [SA] and to live there unhindered. They wanted him out of play. Khashoggi refused and the rest you know. This man wasn’t some Western-oriented liberal brutally murdered because of his passion for freedom. This man was a player.”

1) My latest @EpochTimes - Focus of Durham Probe Shifts to Senior Obama Officials

US Attorney John Durham reportedly “very interested” to interview former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper
theepochtimes.com/focus-of-durha…
2) Durham is expected to seek an interview with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper following an expansion of his investigation.
3) It was reportedly the meetings Durham and Barr recently had in Rome—where they obtained new evidence—that were the impetus for the broadening of the scope of the probe.

According to Herridge, Durham is now “very interested to question” Brennan and Clapper.

1) Thank God Brennan is a focus. This indicates a change at actual justice.

2) The title of your article "Trump’s quest for vengeance against John Brennan" is a joke.

3) Almost no one is more deserving of being investigated than Brennan.
Brennan has testified that any information, specifically “anything involving the individuals involved in the Trump campaign was shared with the bureau [FBI].”

Brennan also admitted that it was his intelligence that helped establish the FBI investigation.

One big problem:

Nunes, who has seen the electronic communication that was used to officially open the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation, has publicly stated, “We now know that there was no official intelligence that was used to start this investigation.”

The LA Times appears determined to reinforce the fact that it remains a garbage publication with an overtly ridiculous editorial series dedicated to "Beating Trump" in 2020.
latimes.com/opinion/story/…
Some laughable examples:

"Flitting above this chaotic landscape — fomenting, provoking, preening, spewing, tweeting, blustering and bullying — is President Donald Trump, the worst, most dangerous president in modern history."
"many voters remain entranced — hoodwinked, in our view — by his blunt, cocky, overpromising style."

"Lies, threats and empty promises are his weapons of choice; enemies are mocked and belittled while the dumbly obedient are rewarded."

John Minford, #SunTzu 9: 47 "Envoys with words of conciliation desire cessation."
I don't know much about Tip O'Niell. I just looked him up and the years of his speakership are very interesting. 1977 - 1987. So, he saw the Carter Administration in all its glory, and saw the Reagan Revolution that followed. It would appear he understood his moment in history.
A glance at Tip's wiki shows how the left-leaning writers have no sense of humor. It's obvious that you have two fellows on opposing sides of the line, taking stabs at, but far more joking around with each other. I sure wish they knew how to make and take a joke.

#RobertMueller will be testifying before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on July 17.

Here are some crucial questions that should be asked when he testifies (Thread 👇). | Article by Jeff Carlson @themarketswork theepochtimes.com/33-key-questio…
1) Did #AttorneyGeneral Barr in any way misrepresent your 448-page report?

#Mueller failed to identify the grand jury info in the #MuellerReport. Barr noted that “it immediately meant that you know it was going to be a period of weeks before we could get the report out.”
2) Who actually wrote Volume I and Volume II of the #MuellerReport?

At this point, it isn’t known with certainty if #Mueller had any hand in writing the report directly, or if he simply served in an oversight capacity.

Thread: News Summary from the Week That Was (2-8 June)

1. If one blinks, one misses important news and events – partly because there’s a lot going on but also because the legacy media promotes and buries stories according to the Democrat narrative.
2. Let’s look back at some of the key items from last week. The first item is that DoJ gave Google and Silicon Valley a “shot across the bow” (a little Navy lingo).

<quote>
2A. The Justice Department’s plans to investigate Alphabet Inc.’s Google have been building over time, amid a growing public conversation about whether the government should do more to scrutinize the handful of giant tech firms that dominate the U.S. landscape.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
