Hey, Mr ignorance... There are republicans calling for investigations... But you won't acknowledge that because it doesn't fit into your "liberals hate Trump" narrative...

 

Impeachment? Geez, are you guys going soft on us already? Hell, the fact that Trump dares to breathe the same air as His Roiled Heinous Chuck Schumer and CuntAssa Nancy Pelosi is grounds for impeachment. Go back to the books and don't come back with anything less than treason. And call for the death penalty, while you're at it. Sheesh!

 

Treason is only punishable during a time of war.

 

Then maybe you could also inform justpassingthru, freespiritx, thinskin, sanity_is_relative, stumbler, and a few others who seem to like the sound of the word?

 

You'd be right, had it not been for the fact, that, I have also called for investigations, a couple of times somewhere in this forum.

Indicating that your assumption of my intended narrative, is horseshit.

 

Embed Bugs



The whole question of whether Donald Trump and his team were wiretapped (and the Obama team's denial of same) has just been upended by the latest release of secret documents from Wikileaks.

The whole "Russian hacking" story has been rendered moot by the revelation that the CIA has a program called UMBRAGE which not only allows them to hack computers, but to make it look like the hacking was done by someone else. Like, oh, Russia. Meaning there's no definitive evidence that the real Russia hacked DNC emails at all.

It also turns out that "wiretapping" is soooooooooo last century (which is perhaps why Obama's spokespersons are happy to specifically deny wiretapping) and that the CIA (among others) has the cyber tools to spy on anyone without any need for tapping wires, bugging phones, or planting microphones.

Basically, the intelligence spooks have the technological capability of remotely activating pretty much every phone, smartphone, computer, or smart TV in your home, car, or workplace without you knowing it (and without showing that the device is on) - allowing them to spy using the cameras and microphones you've already surrounded yourself with.

At this very moment, without leaving our office chair, we easily located five video cameras and six microphones (actually fourteen if you count all eight in our Amazon Echo) just waiting to transmit our every utterance to the intelligence overlords in Washington.

Of course, you might say "I have nothing to hide - what do I have to worry about?" We'll be happy to tell you (and thanks for asking). It seems that due to some little "oopsy," the CIA's entire arsenal of cyber-spying tools has gotten into the hands of our nation's enemies and criminal hackers.

Thanks to the "embed bugs" surrounding us, no one is safe from stealth surveillance except the Amish. Which is why if you don't make a regular practice of raising barns, you should be raising hell.

UMBRAGE
The CIA's hand crafted hacking techniques pose a problem for the agency. Each technique it has created forms a "fingerprint" that can be used by forensic investigators to attribute multiple different attacks to the same entity.

This is analogous to finding the same distinctive knife wound on multiple separate murder victims. The unique wounding style creates suspicion that a single murderer is responsible. As soon one murder in the set is solved then the other murders also find likely attribution.

The CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.

With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the "fingerprints" of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.

UMBRAGE components cover keyloggers, password collection, webcam capture, data destruction, persistence, privilege escalation, stealth, anti-virus (PSP) avoidance and survey techniques.

In an email correspondence with Business Insider on Thursday, a State Department spokesperson said the department has invited foreign ambassadors to attend both conventions since the 1980s. The spokesperson listed the Global Partners in Diplomacy event, the RNC event where Kislyak and Sessions spoke, and the International Leaders Forum as the two events where it coordinated with organizers to bring the diplomatic corps.

The State Department manages the invitations, logistics, and security for the ambassadors, while the ambassadors themselves have to pay for their own expenses, such as flights and hotel accommodations. The State Department did not fund either event, and it could not confirm the list of ambassadors that attended each event.

a spokesperson for Sessions said the appearance was in his capacity as a senator and not as a campaign official. The spokesperson added that Sessions was approached following the speech by several ambassadors, including Kislyak, with whom he held a "short and informal" conversation.

Sessions held an additional discussion with Kislyak in September at the senator's office. A Justice Department official said both instances were in his capacity as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and not as a surrogate for Trump.

Punishable by death is what I meant to say...

 

And yet you exclusively blame liberals...

 

I guess I will just have to keep repeating this because the Trump supporters keep offering this bullshit as some excuse.

The point is not that Trump and his Campaign met with Russian ambassadors. The point is they lied about it.

 

Here is another thing happening and I bet you don't know what it is.

Remember the pissing prostitute dossier put together by MI-6 spy Christopher Steele?

Well, the pissing prostitutes are probably just a false flag. But over the course of the past couple weeks more and more of the other details in that dossier have been verified and proven true.

Which is why the Trump mouthpiece who chairs the Intelligence Committee has now said he is not willing to call MI-6 spy Christopher Steele to testify in the hearings.

But Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff says that's ok. He will just go over to the UK and interview him himself.

Watch this space.

 

They're all trying to back off the Russian conspiracy thing and let it die, because it puts them in a pickle. Obama's lackeys have dodged the question of whether Trump Tower was wiretapped, by saying a wiretap was never ordered.

Which means, if Trump Tower was surveilled, then it was surveilled illegally.

Hence the pickle. They say they can prove all the Russian hacking nonsense. With what, if surveillance was never ordered?

 

Who is willing to take an actual test here and see if there is anything new to report. MSNBC had their little deadline clock on most of the day counting down the hours, minutes, and seconds to the next breaking news event And the only other things they have under it is a picture of Rachel Maddow and the words Russian Connection.

So here is your chance to test in all seriousness if Maddow has really uncovered anything new, or is just full of shit.

It would be an easy little reality check. And I will be watching too.

And those not willing to take the test but want to run their mouth about it need not apply

 

You need to do some current research....

'Will you look after my cat?' Ex-MI6 spy 'who worked with murdered Alexander Litvinenko' flees his £1.5m home 'fearing for his life' leaving his pet with neighbours after being outed as the man behind the dirty dossier on Donald Trump

• Christopher Steele named as ex-MI6 agent behind 'fake' Trump sex dossier
• 35-page salacious file featured claims about Mr Trump's links with Russia
• It also includes gossip about a 'golden shower' sex game in a Moscow hotel
• Ex-spy has now fled his Surrey home 'terrified for his life' and may be abroad
• Steele now an intelligence consultant who worked with FBI to bring down FIFA
• Britain's top EU diplomat Sir Tim Barrow denies he handed over Trump dossier
• Nigel Farage says campaign to undermine him will only increase support in US

• Washington-based opposition research firm, FusionGPS, was hired in 2015

• One of Trump’s Republican detractors is said to have paid the company

• Initially FusionGPS was asked to look into Trump's business dealings

• But the research angle changed after DNC hacking emerged in June 2016

• FusionGPS then contracted ex-MI6 officer Chris Steele's Orbis company

• Steele had gold-plated contacts in Moscow from years of spying on Russia

• Democrats thought to have taken over funding the investigation into Trump

• But security source says Steele later continued to 'work for nothing'

The British former MI6 spy outed as being behind the outlandish Trump 'dirty dossier' was so desperate to get his report out he carried on 'working for nothing', a security source has claimed.

Christopher Steele had initially been commissioned in June 2016 to dig into Trump by Washington-based political research firm FusionGPS, for a fee reported by The Sun as being £130,000 ($158,000).

The investigation into Trump's business dealings with Russia is said to have been financed by one of his opponents in the 2016 Republican primary, before he was named as the party's presidential candidate.

It's then thought a Democratic funder took over paying for FusionGPS and Steele's work in July 2016 after Trump won the party's nomination.

When Trump won the election in November and the Democrats accepted defeat Steele is said to have continued digging without pay after becoming so worried about alleged ties between Trump and the Kremlin, a security source told The Independent.

It seems what started in September 2015 as a fairly standard political research mission to scrutinize the business dealings of a presidential candidate unexpectedly spiralled into a series of increasingly bizarre and lurid claims, none of which are verified.

The company that was first hired to dig into Trump in September 2015, FusionGPS, is run by a former Wall Street Journal reporter, Glenn Simpson, and advertises itself as providing ‘premium research, strategic intelligence, and due diligence services’.

The Independent claims Simpson also continued to work on the Trump investigation without being paid.

Steele's dealings with the FBI on Trump, initially with the senior agent who had started the FIFA probe and then moved to a post in Europe, began in July 2016.

That month, Steele handed a memo to the Bureau that claimed Trump's campaign team had knowledge of the DNC hacking operation.

The FBI opened preliminary investigations into Trump and his entourage's dealings with Russians that were based in part on Steele's reports, according to people familiar with the inquiries.

However, they said the bureau shifted into low gear in the weeks before the election to avoid interfering in the vote. They said Steele grew frustrated and stopped dealing with the FBI after concluding it was not seriously investigating the material he had provided.

Steele then turned to the media in October to get his report out, including speaking with news magazine Mother Jones.

He met with David Corn, the Washington bureau chief at Mother Jones, before last year's Presidential election and told him the allegations warranted a substantial FBI inquiry.

DIRTY DOSSIER DEATH
Russian spy linked to Donald Trump’s dirty dossier found DEAD in his car in Moscow


Oleg Erovinkin is suspected of being Brit spy Christopher Steele's key source behind widely discredited allegations against President Trump

 

I don't understand why you insist on saying things so utterly fucking stupid instead of just doing a 30 second google search.

You are the who needs an update. Christopher Steele is alive, well, out of hiding, back to work and even made his own little video about it.

And to add insult to injury if you watched Rachel Maddow you would know that.

 

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/treason

"The Treason Clause applies only to disloyal acts committed during times of war. Acts of dis-loyalty during peacetime are not considered treasonous under the Constitution. Nor do acts of Espionage committed on behalf of an ally constitute treason. For example, julius and ethel rosenberg were convicted of espionage, in 1951, for helping the Soviet Union steal atomic secrets from the United States during World War II. The Rosenbergs were not tried for treason because the United States and the Soviet Union were allies during World War II."



http://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/law/crime-and-law-enforcement/treason

Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution, and basic to the treatment of this offense has been a mingling of values protective of government and of individuals. The crime of treason strikes at the foundations of the legal order and deals with the most serious threats to the existence of the state. Congress has reflected this judgment in prescribing penalties that may mount to death or life imprisonment. Where charges have fallen plainly within the bounds of the constitutional definition, judges have firmly applied the law. On the other hand, the limiting language of the Constitution (treason shall consist "only" in the two named forms of the offense), constitutional history, and the responses of judges bear witness to a restrictive approach in marking the outer boundaries of the crime. Thus the treason clause not only protects the security of the legal order but is functionally analogous to the Bill of Rights, protecting the civil liberties of individuals.

The restrictive dimension departs from the main directions of the statute and case law in England and in this country before 1789, which gave clear primacy to the security of government, often to serve the interests of those holding official power at a given time. Into the late eighteenth century, English political history was marked by aggressive resort to charges of treason as weapons of partisan conflict, with much vindictive prosecution and loose use of evidence. Security in the most elemental sense was at stake for the English colonies in North America under the threat of the French and Indian Wars, and in the new states torn through the Revolution by bitter divisions between those loyal to the Crown and those asserting independence. Thus the legislation of the colonies and of the new states in the Revolutionary years was studded with broad and sometimes vague definitions of subversion, in sharp contrast to the limited definition written into the national Constitution.

In the practice of Congress and in decisions of the courts, the constitutional definition of treason has never barred creation of other statutory offenses involving subversion of the legal order. Thus, United States v. Rosenberg, 195 F. 2d 583 (2d Cir. 1952) held that the defendants were validly convicted of conspiracy to violate the federal Espionage Act, 18 U.S.C. § 794 (1976) by communicating protected information to the USSR. However, established doctrine forbids Congress to enlarge beyond the constitutional definition the kinds of conduct that may be punished as treason, and assures the protection of the two-witness requirement where the charged conduct amounts to levy of war or adherence to enemies. Nonetheless, legislators might seek to punish it under another name. Loose use of the epithet treason amid the Cold War emotions of the 1950s showed that there was still potential power in the dread cry as a weapon of partisan or ideological combat. But the limits set by the constitutional definition have curbed resort to treason prosecutions to suppress or harass peaceful, legitimate political competition.
