George Nader's arrest on child pornography charges raises concerns about Mueller's team's credibility: The arrest of a key Mueller informant on child pornography charges highlights the need for thorough vetting of informants to maintain investigation credibility
During Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, one of his key informants, George Nader, was arrested on child pornography charges. This revelation raises serious concerns about the credibility of Mueller's team and the information they used to investigate individuals associated with President Trump. Nader, who had access to both Democratic and Republican White Houses since the Reagan administration, was represented by Catherine Rumler, a lawyer who had previously served as White House counsel under President Obama. The fact that a lawyer with such close ties to the Obama administration represented a man accused of such heinous crimes while providing information to Mueller's team adds another layer of complexity to this already controversial investigation. This situation underscores the importance of thoroughly vetting informants and ensuring their credibility before using their information to build cases.
Katherine Rumbler's Role in Obama Scandals and Mueller's Ties to Saudi and Russian Entities: Katherine Rumbler, a former White House counsel for Obama, has been involved in covering up scandals like Benghazi, IRS, and Secret Service. She later represented a client with ties to Saudi and Russian entities, raising questions about her potential role in Obama's cover-ups and Mueller's ties to these entities.
Katherine Rumbler, who served as White House counsel for President Obama, has been intimately involved in covering up various scandals during his presidency, including Benghazi, IRS, and the Secret Service scandal. She was also involved in the Secret Service scandal because the White House staff was allegedly involved but was covered up to protect them. Rumbler later represented a man arrested for child pornography, who was providing information to Robert Mueller and Andrew Weisman for debunked charges against the Trump team. A Salon.com article revealed that Mueller and his team had ties to Saudi and Russian entities and the Clinton machine. The Salon.com article's primary intention was to criticize the rich, but it also revealed that Rumbler had represented a client with ties to these entities. These connections raise questions about Rumbler's involvement in representing this client and her potential role in Obama's cover-ups.
Media's selective focus on Trump-Russia ties during investigation: Media and investigators overlooked Clinton's ties to Russian investment fund during Trump-Russia probe, showcasing the need for comprehensive context in reporting.
During the investigation into potential Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, information was reported on by left-leaning news outlets like Salon, which later became relevant to the spying scandal. For instance, a Salon article exposed connections between the Clinton campaign and a Russian investment fund. This same investment fund was allegedly discussed in a meeting between Eric Prince and a Russian businessman, Karel Dimitriev, which was later disclosed by George Nader, a key figure in the Russia probe who was being represented by Obama's fixer. However, despite these connections, the investigation seemed to focus solely on the Trump team, ignoring similar ties to the Clinton camp. The media and investigators, such as Mueller and Weissmann, have been criticized for this double standard. This interconnected web of events highlights the importance of understanding the full context and implications of reported information.
Connections between key players in Mueller investigation: The Mueller investigation raised questions about potential conflicts of interest and bias due to past professional relationships between key players.
During the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, many key players were connected to each other through their past professional relationships. For instance, Catherine Rumbler, who served as White House counsel under President Obama, knew Andrew Weissmann, who led the Mueller team. Weissmann and Rumbler had previously worked together on the Enron Task Force. Additionally, Lisa Monaco, another Obama administration official, was also connected to Weissmann, as she had been Bob Mueller's Chief of Staff and later took Monaco's position. These connections raise questions about potential conflicts of interest and bias within the investigation. Furthermore, Rumbler represented an informant who provided information about a Russian meeting with a Trump ally, Eric Prince, who was connected to Clinton lobbyist bundlers. Despite these apparent conflicts, the investigation continued without apparent concern.
Use of a child pornographer as a witness: The Mueller investigation used a child pornographer as a witness, raising ethical concerns and questioning the legitimacy of the investigation, while those involved faced no consequences.
The Mueller investigation, led by Andrew Weisman, used an alleged child pornographer as a witness against the Trump team, despite knowing about the allegations against him for over a year. This informant, who was being represented by Obama's White House counsel, provided information on a meeting between Trump associates and a Russian connected to Clinton, lobbyists, and bundlers. The fact that this information was obtained from a known child pornographer, while charges against him were sealed, raises serious ethical concerns and questions the legitimacy of the investigation. Despite the debunked collusion charge, the Trump team faced a lengthy investigation, while those involved in the questionable tactics used to gather evidence faced no consequences. The media's lack of coverage on this issue further highlights the politicized nature of the investigation.
Child pornography case controversy and procrastination advertisement: Controversy surrounds leniency in child pornography case, while importance of procrastination and being informed is emphasized in an ad.
There is growing concern over the handling of a child pornography case, where the alleged offender was given a year-long pass without prosecution, despite the prosecutor knowing it was a hoax. This incident, which also involved the Obama White House counsel, has sparked outrage and accusations of police state tyranny and corruption. Meanwhile, in a lighter note, the importance of procrastination was highlighted in an advertisement for Policy Genius, a company that makes it easy for people to shop for various types of insurance online. The speaker also emphasized the importance of being informed and not relying solely on mainstream media sources, which can sometimes be biased or inaccurate.
Politically motivated treatment of Paul Manafort: Former Trump campaign official Paul Manafort, convicted of mortgage fraud, was sent to Rikers Island despite already being in federal custody, sparking concerns of political bias and inhumane treatment.
The treatment of Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign official, who was sent to Rikers Island after being convicted of mortgage fraud, despite already being in federal custody, is seen as excessive and disproportionate by some. Manafort had previously been investigated for similar crimes but was not charged until after he joined the Trump campaign. The speaker argues that this is a politically motivated move and that Manafort's detention in Rikers Island, known for housing the most serious criminals, is unnecessary and inhumane. The speaker expresses concern over the radicalization of the Democratic party and the celebration of this treatment by some Democrats.
Conservatives value defense and celebration of rights: Conservatives prioritize defending and celebrating God-given rights for all, contrasting some individuals' pleasure in punishing others and infringing upon their rights. Be cautious of those who abuse power, and consider investing in iTarget Pro System for gun practice.
While some individuals may derive pleasure from punishing others and infringing upon their rights, conservatives value the defense and celebration of these God-given rights for all. The discussion touched upon the controversial treatment of a white-collar criminal, Paul Manafort, who was placed in solitary confinement despite allegations against a political figure, Hillary Clinton, that were deemed conspiracy theories. The speaker expressed concern over the lengths some individuals will go to obtain and abuse power, warning against the dangerous implications of such behavior. Additionally, a product endorsement was included for iTarget Pro System, a dry fire training system that allows users to practice their accuracy with their firearm from a safe and convenient location. The system uses a laser round and a target, which can be synced with a phone app to track shot placement and improve accuracy. The speaker highly recommended the product as a valuable investment for gun enthusiasts.
Setting the Record Straight on the Name of the Presidential Limousine: Media personnel are encouraged to stop using the term 'The Beast' for the presidential limousine and instead refer to it by its actual name to ensure accuracy in reporting.
There is a common misconception among media personnel regarding the name of the presidential limousine, which is often referred to as "The Beast." However, according to the speaker, who has extensive experience working with the Secret Service and transportation logistics, this is not an accurate term. He urges media personnel to stop using this term and instead refer to it by its actual name. The speaker also shares an anecdote about his experience as a cop and how some individuals can be overly enthusiastic or "buff" in their approach to their jobs, drawing a comparison between these individuals and media personnel.
Democrats dismiss national debt as insignificant: Despite growing economy and low interest rates, the national debt continues to accumulate at an alarming rate and outweighs the annual GDP. Ignoring its significance can lead to serious consequences.
The Democratic Party's far-left wing, including figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are advocating for the dismissal of the national debt as a significant issue due to the growing economy and low interest rates. However, this perspective is flawed as the United States continues to accumulate massive amounts of debt every year, and the country's debt far outweighs its annual gross domestic product. The Democrats' argument that the debt will become insignificant in the future due to economic growth and refinancing at low interest rates is a simplistic and misleading view of the situation. It's crucial to acknowledge the gravity of the national debt and address it responsibly.
U.S. Debt: Over $100 trillion with entitlements included: The US debt crisis can't be solved by growth or taxing the rich alone. Entitlement reform and a balanced approach are necessary.
The United States is in a catastrophic debt situation, with off-the-books entitlement debt bringing the total debt upwards of $100 trillion. Pretending the debt will be solved through economic growth or taxing the rich alone is not a viable solution. The US already has high income taxes, with the top 1% paying nearly 40% of the federal income tax revenues. European countries raise more revenue due to consumption taxes, which disproportionately affect the middle class, not the rich. Therefore, implementing a value-added tax or other consumption-based taxes could potentially worsen the situation for the average American. It's crucial to address entitlement reform and find a balanced approach to reducing the national debt.
The significance of sharing independent news stories: Support independent journalism by subscribing and sharing valuable stories to help them reach a wider audience.
The importance and impact of sharing independent news stories. The speaker expressed his enthusiasm for a particular story about Nader and expressed gratitude for those who share his show on various platforms. He emphasized that this story is not widely reported in many media outlets, making it even more crucial to spread the word. He encouraged listeners to subscribe to his show across various platforms, including YouTube, Apple Podcast, iHeartRadio, and SoundCloud. While subscriptions are free, they help move the show up the charts, reducing the need for expensive advertising. Overall, the speaker emphasized the significance of supporting independent journalism and sharing valuable stories with others.
