KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: When In Doubt, Rally It Out. “Heck, der Bidengaffer, Fauxcahontas, and the rest of the Dem primary clown car would probably kill for the crowd that couldn’t even get into the Toledo rally.”

A D.C. FRIEND WHO REQUESTS ANONYMITY SENDS THIS:

These are the top 10 items that have not been released to Gen Flynn and his lawyer. These documents would exonerate him. It is a disgrace that DOJ, the DC prosecutor, the FBI have not complied with the Flynn request for the Brady material. And yet, the prosecutor recommended a jail sentence for him. It is enough to make one very cynical about the Rule of Law. I hope you will do whatever you can to make sure people realize this is going on in America and do everything you can to get these documents released.

1. The original 302
2. The internal DOJ document dated January 30, 2017, that exonerates Flynn of being “an agent of Russia.”
3. Notes and documents of any kind dealing with any briefings that Mr. Flynn provided to DIA after he left the government.
4. Unredacted notes and 302s of both agents who interviewed Flynn on January 24.
5. The EC of SSA 1 interview of Flynn during the sample PDB where he went in to spy on Trump and Flynn.
6. The EC that started the whole investigation and drafts including anything written by Strzok that went into it.
7. The 1-A file—the whole audit trail of the Flynn 302 process.
8. The unredacted Strzok-Page text messages in their entirety–other than purely personal.
9. Unredacted McCabe memo.
10. Unredacted 302s of interviews of Strzok and SSA1 and raw notes.

These are all crucial.

None of this sounds unreasonable to me.

THAR SHE BLOWS!: On this day in 1901, the Lucas gusher at the Spindletop Oil Field blew, thus beginning the Texas Oil Boom.

There had long been suspicions that Spindletop Hill in Beaumont, Texas had oil underneath it. But it took Anthony Francis Lucas (Anton Lučić), a Croatian-born, Austrian-educated engineer, to bring it forth. It wasn’t easy. At one point, he and his partner ran out of funds, and Lucas had to go scrounging for new investors. But, finally, at a depth of greater than 1000 feet, he found what he’d been looking for. The resulting oil geyser reached over 150 feet in the air and took nine days to be brought under control. Soon the well was producing almost 100,000 barrels a day—more than all the other oil wells in America combined.

During the 19^th century, oil had been used primarily in lamps and as a lubricant. Thanks in part to the massive quantities of oil produced at Spindletop, oil would go on to power the 20^th century. Despite “peak oil” predictions, it looks like it will be powering a good part of the 21^st century too.

This is nice, but what I’d like to see is a bill providing that for any person entitled to possess firearms under federal law, the maximum state/local penalty for possession in an unapproved area is a $50 fine, plus a provision that anyone wrongly deprived of his firearms by a state or any subdivision thereof is entitled to statutory damages of $50,000 plus attorney fees, with government immunity not applying.
