NEW: Bill Priestap has received far less scrutiny than his Crossfire Hurricane colleagues, though that might change.

He withheld key information about Steele and the dossier from Senate Intel, the Crossfire Hurricane team, and possible the CIA. dailycaller.com/2020/08/16/bil…
The IG report says Priestap and Strzok were told by former Steele colleagues in Nov/Dec 2016 that he displayed bad judgement.

Priestap withheld that info from the Crossfire team (and thus, FISA) because of an agreement with MI6.
Not only did Priestap withhold the derogatory info from FBI, he told a CIA analyst working on the Intelligence Community Assessment that Steele was "reliable."
Priestap also told the IG that as of May 2017 the FBI did not have any indication of Russian disinformation in the dossier.

The IG says differently. The FBI received evidence in Jan/Feb. 2017 of possible Russian disinfo.

MSNBC tells @FreeBeacon it was “unaware” that Al Sharpton received $500k from Kamala Harris campaign prior to friendly interview

But network declined comment on whether Sharpton faced discipline for violating company’s conflicts of interest policy 🧵 Image
MSNBC ignored our inquiries on this for 2 weeks, but finally responded after the Society of Professional Journalists said these payments are a “black eye” for the network

Story link here: freebeacon.com/media/msnbc-sa…
MSNBC requires employees to disclose any conflicts of interest. Network suspended @JoeNBC and @KeithOlbermann in 2010 for donated a small amount to political campaigns without approval

EXCLUSIVE @FreeBeacon:

Kamala Harris campaign gave $500k to Al Sharpton's nonprofit just before a glowing interview with the MSNBC host.

The remittance to Rev. Al part of $5.4 million that Harris gave to black and Latino groups.

freebeacon.com/elections/kama…
Team Kamala gave $250k to Sharpton's National Action Network on Sept. 5 and again on Oct. 1.

On Oct. 3, Sharpton aired a video message from Harris wishing him happy birthday on his weekend MSNBC show "PoliticsNation."

He did a softball interview w/ her on Oct. 20
Sharpton did not disclose the donations from Harris's campaign to National Action Network, which paid Sharpton $650k in 2021.

Raises all sorts of ethics concerns for @MSNBC -- an employee doing an interview w/ someone who just paid his vanity charity half a million dollars.

SCOOP:

A mystery PAC called AllVote has been sending misleading text messages to voters about registration and polling locations.

We followed the bread crumbs back to a complex network of Dem super PACs, and dirty tricks Dem donor REID HOFFMAN freebeacon.com/elections/some…
AllVote is a project of Rapid Resist Action and a group called Movement Labs. AllVote spox @cmclymer apologized this week for the group’s misleading text campaign, but declined to disclose the group/donors behind it
But Rapid Resist Action, led by a former Obama official Yoni Landau, has done this before, in 2020 and 2022, sending out errant text messages about registration and poll.

State Department is standing by an adviser who spoke at an anti-Israel rally that saw chants of "Death to Israel," praise for slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and calls for Jews to be returned "back to Poland." freebeacon.com/biden-harris-a…
Dearborn mayor Abdullah Hammoud serves on State's Assembly of Local Leaders, for 20 mayors and local leaders to "share their views or concerns with foreign policy topics directly with the Department."
Hammoud is a leading voice of the anti-Israel movement, and spoke at a Dearborn rally on Sept. 25. He was introduced by Hamas/Hezbollah sympathizer Osama Siblani, who moments earlier praised Hezbollah's Nasrallah as a "hero" and said Jews would be sent "back to Poland."

Colin Allred Embraces Pro-Farrakhan Pastor Who Accused Israel of 'Apartheid' One Day After Oct. 7
freebeacon.com/elections/coli…
Allred appeared at the church of Rev. Frederick Haynes on Sept. 17, to receive a Senate endorsement. Haynes, who has called Farrakhan a "wonderful man," spoke about his collaboration with antisemitic activist Tamika Mallory seconds after praising Allred.
Weeks later, Haynes gave an explicitly anti-Israel sermon on Oct. 8.

"I recognize that we gotta be pro-Israel … or we get in trouble. Well, I'm coming to get in trouble," he preached.

Tim Walz Falsely Claimed to Be Veteran of Afghanistan War

A veteran confronted Walz aides about this in 2009, per video obtained by @FreeBeacon freebeacon.com/elections/tim-…
He posed with a “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry” poster in 2004, and his campaign website in 2006 called him a “veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom.”

He never set foot in Afghanistan, serving just in Norway and Italy Image
Walz’s House aides were confronted with the above photo in 2009, by an Iraq vet who accused him of stolen valor.

They didn’t dispute the photo, and did not follow through with a pledge to address it.
