POTUS revokes security clearances of employees of top Dem law firm

President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order pulling the security clearances of Perkins Coie LLP employees. The administration argues that the law firm is guilty of unethical and discriminatory actions that threaten national security, elections and military strength.

So, the corridors of power in Washington have once again reverberated with the sound of executive authority being wielded with unapologetic gusto. The president EO is now pending a thorough review of their access to the nation's secrets and their impact on America's interests, as a White House fact sheet informs us.

Not content with mere suspension, the federal government is slamming shut the doors of all sensitive compartmented information facilities to Perkins Coie, while cutting off their material supplies and services. Agencies have been sternly instructed not to engage the firm's employees without explicit authorization, and no government funds will flow to contractors employing their services.

This is no small matter, for Perkins Coie has slurped heartily at the public trough, raking in over $481,000 in sundry federal contracts from January to July last year alone, per FEC records, even as it stood tall among the Democratic National Committee's most handsomely remunerated legal champions in recent times, according to The National Law Journal.

But the reckoning does not end there. 

The White House declares that the firm's practices will face scrutiny under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to ensure compliance with laws barring racial prejudice. Trump, with characteristic relish and perhaps a hotdog, proclaimed on Thursday that it was "an absolute honor to sign" this executive order. "It's just terrible," he lamented. "It's weaponization, you could say, weaponization against a political opponent, and it should never be allowed to happen again."

The White House fact sheet lays bare the sins of Perkins Coie, accusing them of hiring Fusion GPS in 2016 to conjure a mendacious "dossier" while in the employ of campaign disaster Hillary Clinton. That notorious Democrat fixer Marc Elias plied his trade there until 2021, when he decamped to start his own outfit. Another alumnus, Michael Sussmann, faced indictment for deceiving the FBI about a supposed "secret channel of communications between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank" - a fiction the firm had peddled.

"Perkins Coie LLP has worked with activist donors, including George Soros, to judicially overturn enacted election laws, such as those requiring voter identification," thundered the White House's Rapid Response X account. "A court was forced to sanction Perkins Coie attorneys for unethical lack of candor before the court." 

The account piled on: "Perkins Coie LLP has been accused of racially discriminating against its own attorneys, staff, and applicants. Perkins Coie has publicly announced racial percentage quotas for hiring and promotions, violating civil rights laws, and excluded applicants from fellowships based on race until lawsuits forced change."

This executive salvo builds upon Trump's Day One vow to halt the weaponization of government, tasking Attorney General Pam Bondi to scour the records of Biden's reign for every instance of retribution against perceived foes. 

"The American people have witnessed the previous administration engage in a systematic campaign against its perceived political opponents, weaponizing the legal force of numerous Federal law enforcement agencies and the Intelligence Community against those perceived political opponents in the form of investigations, prosecutions, civil enforcement actions, and other related actions," the order intoned.

"These actions appear oriented more toward inflicting political pain than toward pursuing actual justice or legitimate governmental objectives," it charged. "Many of these activities appear to be inconsistent with the Constitution and/or the laws of the United States, including those activities directed at parents protesting at school board meetings, Americans who spoke out against the previous administration’s actions, and other Americans who were simply exercising constitutionally protected rights."

Not sparing the rod, Trump has also banished the 50 former intelligence mucky mucks who falsely hinted Hunter Biden's laptop was "part of a Russian disinformation campaign," barring them from secure government premises, per a memo obtained by conservative outlet The Daily Wire in late January. "These individuals no longer possess a need to access secure facilities, and as outlined in the Executive Order, do not have the appropriate security clearances to access classified information," the memo decreed.

The firm's practices will also be reviewed to make sure that they are in compliance with civil rights laws.

Durham investigation may have Hillary doing a "Biden" in her pantsuit over Fusion GPS

As John Durham on Wednesday moved ahead with his prosecution of Michael Sussmann, the Hillary Clinton proxy, he shared some good news for America in its fight against evil.

You may recall, several weeks ago, Hillary for America and Fusion GPS attempted to intervene in the trial against Sussmann arguing that documents Durham requested were covered by attorney-client privilege. This was a ridiculous claim since Sussmann previously denied he was working for anyone--he just wanted to be a good citizen--when he went to the FBI with the fake Russian conspiracy theory regarding Alfa Bank and Donald Trump.

It was also documented that Fusion GPS hired Sussmann to do political research, not to offer legal advice.

Leslie McAdoo Gordon shared a post on social media that perfectly encapsulates the situation:

Latham (for Sussman): “He wasn’t acting on behalf of those two clients!”

Durham: “Judge, we’d like to offer these communications into evidence.”

The Clients: “We object! Those communications are covered by attorney-client privilege!”

The trap was set by Durham and Sussmann and Hillary's confederates were caught in it. The documents were allowed and stuff may soon be hitting the proverbial fan.

According to Techno Fog, a close observer and expert on the Fusion GPS/Hillary Clinton saga, says that Durham's motion was granted and the court will get the documents because there is no attorney-client privilege involved since it's pure BS that Sussmann was merely providing legal advice, as a previous case in which Hillary for America settled with the government admitting that factoid.  

These documents will bear out what Sussmann's true arrangement was, and they will be handed over to Durham and his team. The document review will happen on camera, where no funny Hillary business can take place. 

The special counsel will probably find information in those documents to go after other targets involved in the Russian collusion hoax. Hillary's attempt to deep six Durham's work has failed and hopefully we will find out who was paid and who coordinated the attempt to frame former President Trump and use the FBI to do their bidding.

Steele admonished by FBI but they still trusted him

Former MI-6 ex-British spy Christopher Steele was formally admonished by the FBI for misconduct in 2016. But in spite of that, FBI agents vouched for him and relied heavily on his anti-Trump dossier that led to wiretaps on a Republican campaign volunteer.

The verbal admonishment was found in 70 pages of highly redacted FBI documents, on what Steele reported as a "confidential human source," or CHS, how much he was paid and how he lost his job as a key FBI undercover source. When you read 'CHS' think 'Steele.'

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, obtained the documents through the court.

There were 11 pay request forms showing payments made in 2016, but they don't reveal the project. Steele runs Orbis Business Intelligence in London and had a previous FBI association, so the payments could have been for other work unrelated to the Hillary Clinton-sponsored dossier.

If the payments was for Trump-related spying or Russia intelligence, then Steele was being paid by the FBI and the Hillary Clinton campaign/Democratic Party. They hired Fusion GPS to run Steele as a source for opposition research on Trump.

The redacted documents' most significant disclosure points out that Steel was disciplined by the FBI on Feb. 2, 2016. The form entitled "admonishments" does not show his offense.

The un-redacted part of the document states, "verbally admonished the CHS with CHS admonishments, which the CHS fully acknowledged, signed and dated. The signed CHS AGG [attorney general guidelines] admonishments form is attached."

Yet after the admonishment, Steele went on to play a highly important role in leveling charges that ignited the probe into President Trump and helped lead to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller, a close friend of former FBI Director James "Holier Than Thou" Comey.

By the end of April, Steele was hired by the Democrats and in June, he was sending out memos that accused the Trump campaign of an "extensive conspiracy" with the Kremlin to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Steele continuously sent the FBI collusion charges. In Oct. 2016, the FBI requested a wiretap from a judge on volunteer Carter Page. The dossier alleged Page met with shady Russian figures in Moscow and this is what made up most of the evidence to a judge that Page acted as a foreign agent for Russia.

Page is an investor who lived in Moscow and has many Russian contacts. He called Steele's charges a fabrication and has not been charged.

But still Mueller's investigation persists.

On his phony book tour this year, Comey vouched for Steele because scumcrumpets tend to sticking together.

Comey spoke about the dossier to ABC News and said, "This guy, [Steele] who's credible, says these things are true. Okay. That means we should try and replicate that work to see if we can develop the same sources."

In other words, the dossier was to be believed and used as the FBI's anti-Trump bible. In fact, the FBI cited Steele in three subsequent wiretap renewals stretching for a year. This allowed them to view all of Page's previous electronic messages.

By this time, Steele had been admonished and by November 2016 he was fired by the FBI for violation of the rules.

Because he was angry that he wasn't able to stop Trump's candidacy, he went to the far leftist rag "Mother Jones" magazine and spilled all of his charges as an unnamed intelligence source.

The article alarmed his FBI handlers who labeled him "not suitable for use as a CHS."

The firing document read: "At that time, handling agent advised CHS that the nature of the relationship between the FBI and CHS would change completely and that it was unlikely that the FBI would continue a relationship with the CHS. Additionally, the handling agent advised that CHS was not to operate to obtain any intelligence whatsoever on behalf of the FBI."

Which now brings us to Fusion GPS.

That fall, Fusion GPS established a backchannel flow of anti-Trump information to then-Associate Attorney General Bruce Ohr, whose wife worked at Fusion, to FBI agent Peter Strzok. He headed the probe and hated Trump's guts, as witnessed by his messages sent to his paramour, who was an FBI attorney with a slight overbite.

But now we must ask, did Steele continue to funnel information against Trump to the FBI after the agency told him to cease?

Last year, Daniel Jones, an ex-senior intelligence staffer to Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), told the FBI his firm was paid $50 million by political donors to continue investigating President Trump. He said he hired Fusion GPS and Steele to do the job.

And still the Mueller investigation goes on . . .

Fusion GPS believes FBI has a mole inside White House

Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, who sponsored the anti-Trump dossier, said in August and again January 2nd, that the FBI has a covert source inside the Trump administration who gave credence to the dossier. 

Was the source James Comey? Steve Bannon? Sarah Huckabee Sanders?The White House cook?

We don't know.

When a transcript of Simpson's secret August testimony was released this past Tuesday, the media got all hot and bothered as they saw it giving credence to the dossier whose charges of the Trump-Russia collusion have been denied and not publicly confirmed.

But immediately after the headlines went up, a person close to the firm waved off reporters. Now they said Mr. Simpson had "mischaracterized" the source. It wasn't a Trump insider, but supposedly an Australian diplomat.

The Aussie was featured in a December 30 New York Times story as the one who tipped off the FBI. Allegedly, campaign volunteer George Papadopoulos told him over drinks that a Russian-linked professor knew of "thousands" of Hillary Clinton emails in the possession of Moscow.

It's highly unlikely that Simpson would have known of the diplomat in August. But in January, he would have known of him when he wrote an op-ed in the canary cage liner known as The New York Times, which he again told of an insider source.

"As we told the Senate Judiciary Committee in August, our sources said the dossier was taken so seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp," he wrote.

In his testimony Simpson said:

"Essentially what he told me was they had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source and that--that they--my understanding was that they believed Chris at this point--that they believed Chris's information might be credible because they had other intelligence that indicated the same thing and one of those pieces of intelligence was a human source from inside the Trump organization. It was someone like us who decided to pick up the phone and report something."

Simpson added that this person was not a Steele source, but an FBI one.

When a government agency tries to covertly undermine the executive branch of government, we are no better than a banana republic. This should bother and concern everyone who actually believes in our country and our Constitution, both liberals and conservatives, but since Trump is our freely elected president, it will only bother the latter.
