HOWIE CARR: Unraveling Hillary Clinton’s Russia hoax … starting with Michael Sussmann.
If you’re only dimly aware of the ongoing D.C. criminal trial of corrupt Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann, don’t feel bad.
That’s the way they want it, they being the Deep State.
On Friday, Hillary’s campaign manager Robby Mook testified under oath. He swore that in the middle of the 2016 presidential campaign, Clinton signed off on secretly handing the corrupt FBI a totally bogus, made-up report on Donald Trump’s alleged communications with the Kremlin through a server for Alfa Bank in Moscow.
You see, the fraudulent Steele “dossier” wasn’t the Democrats’ only attempted frame-up of Trump. Hillary et al. were making up all kinds of BS about the future POTUS. And Hillary personally okayed the Big Lie on the server.
Jonathan Turley boiled it down succinctly: “Hillary Gave the Greenlight to Gaslight.”
Perfect. And that’s why you’ve probably never read it anywhere, at least not in any of the outlets that gave themselves Pulitzer Prices for years of gas-lighting all these fake rabidly anti-Trump whoppers.
This particular one was such a preposterous canard that an FBI agent — and remember, these sticky-fingered clowns are little more than the Democrats’ secret police — scrawled in the margin of the report the number 5150, which is California slang for insane or crazy.
But in state-run media, all you’ve heard about Sussmann is crickets. They’re giving this trial a good leaving-alone.
Do you think this bombshell trial might have been handled just a little differently if, say, Corey Lewandowski had testified in open court that Donald Trump directed him to peddle a monstrous lie about Hillary Clinton, and that the FBI had gone along with it, because it likewise wanted to railroad the Democrat candidate?
Mouthpiece Sussmann is accused of lying to a federal agent, which is a crime. But he’s a Democrat so … never mind.
The prosecutor is John Durham, the special counsel appointed in 2019 to get to the bottom of Hillary Clinton’s multiple Russian collusion hoaxes.
Durham has Sussmann absolutely 100% dead to rights. They have his text to another Democrat hack in the FBI saying he’s not representing any client when he’s bringing in the phony documents. That’s the lie.
The proof is in his own law firm’s billing records — he charged Hillary for his mendacious trip to FBI headquarters to pass on the dirty trick against Trump.
Once the FBI had the fake tip, Hillary’s minions then peddled it to the corrupt Very Fake News media. They told everybody, including their own agents, that the tip came, not from Hillary, but from the DOJ.
After they planted the story in a Democrat religious tract called Slate, Hillary then tweeted out Slate’s fake-news story with this lie: “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server …”
Then one of her soy boy campaign coat holders, Jake Sullivan, piled on: “This could be the most direct link yet …”
In a just world, Sussmann would already be in prison. But he’s a Democrat apparatchik in Brandon’s America, so the fix is in, more than somewhat.
If you doubt me, consider the D.C. jury listening to the evidence.
One juror acknowledged he’d contributed to Hillary’s campaign. Another thought she had but couldn’t remember. Another is a former bartender who donated to AOC. Still another juror’s husband worked on Hillary’s 2008 campaign, and yet another supports defunding the police.
Yet they all got onto the jury. After the trial started, still another juror recalled that her daughter was on some private-school crew team with the sleazy Sussmann’s kid.
The judge told her not to worry about it and refused to excuse her.
Who’s the judge, you ask?
His name is Christopher “Casey” Cooper, appointed by Obama after his service on the Obama 2008 transition team. After law school, he worked in the DOJ with the defendant — what a coincidence!
Later the judge was also employed in the same law firm as … Eric Holder, Obama’s self-described “wingman” as attorney general.
Our ruling class is rather incestuous.

“Female Secret Service agents find that offensive,” he writes.
“Biden likes to be revered as everyday Joe,” an unnamed agent told Kessler. “But the reality is no agents want to go on his detail because Biden makes agents’ lives so tough.”

IT’S HARD NOT TO CONCLUDE THAT STARLINER IS JUST MAKE-WORK FOR BOEING: Starliner launches to remain on Atlas 5. “With NASA planning to alternate between Boeing’s Starliner and SpaceX’s Crew Dragon for International Space Station crew rotation missions once Starliner is certified, each flying once a year, it implies that Atlas 5 launches of Starliner could continue well into the latter half of the decade. ULA, which has stopped selling Atlas 5 launches, has previously discussed phasing out Atlas 5 in favor of Vulcan Centaur around the middle of the decade. . . . Even at a pace of one mission a year, though, and with no other customers for Starliner, the supply of Atlas vehicles would be exhausted before the projected retirement of the ISS in 2030.”
One launch per year. No other customers. Wed to an obsolete launcher. Nice vehicle, Boeing.

WELL: OH Man Plotted Assassination Of George W. Bush In Dallas: Reports.
A Columbus man has been taken into custody after federal authorities said he plotted to assassinate former president George W. Bush, even traveling to Dallas to record video of the former president’s home, according to reports.
In an FBI search warrant application filed in March, unsealed this week and obtained first by Forbes, a man identified as Shihab Ahmed Shihab indicated on his WhatsApp account that he wanted to kill Bush because he blamed the former president for the deaths of many Iraqis and for breaking apart the country following the America’s invasion in 2003. The suspect traveled to Dallas in November to record video around the former president’s home.
The suspect was taken into custody, NBC News reported. NBC, citing court documents and law enforcement officials, reported that the FBI accused the suspect of plotting to smuggle as many as six people from Iraq into America over the Mexico border. According to Bloomberg, four of them were Iraqi nationals and former intelligence agents who would come from Turkey, Egypt and Denmark.

CRISES BY DESIGN: This Is The Worst Possible Time For The FHFA To Mess With Lending Standards.
From the placement of keys or strings on musical instruments to the shape, colors, and lettering of road signs, standards surround us, protect us, and ease our lives. They provide practicality, accessibility, and stability.
Yet at a time when our economy is facing countless challenges and continues to send loud signals of instability not seen since the financial crisis of 2008, a federal agency charged with the specific mission of ensuring stability and policing risk in the housing industry is considering a proposal that would abolish the proven standard upon which the mortgage industry relies to determine creditworthiness.
If you are befuddled as to why the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is contemplating whether to tinker with lending standards during a time of elevated financial insecurity and housing market volatility, then you are not alone. It is further astonishing to wonder how the lessons of the ’08 crash have seemingly been so easily forgotten. As everyone is well aware, the underlying cause of that disastrous economic meltdown was the collapse of the housing and mortgage industries brought about by a previous “innovation:” subprime lending.
Don’t worry, I’m sure it won’t end badly, this time around.

STANDING UP FOR CIVIL RIGHTS: Nevada County Evicts Anti-Gun Judges From County Government Building.
“Gun-free” zones are something of a contagion, particularly among government entities. When rigorously treated (through opposition and education), they can be contained to a reasonable size and cover only “essential” places like prisons. When ignored and allowed to flourish, they have a way of spreading and infecting areas around them. That’s exactly what’s happened in Nye County, Nevada.
When Bruce Jabbour, a pro-gun county commissioner, got into office in 2021, he found out that he wouldn’t be allowed to lawfully carry his pistol in his own office. Why? Because the county building also has district court offices located in the same government complex building, and Judge Kim Wanker (yes, her real name) had issued an order banning firearms from the building, ostensibly for security reasons.
This set the judges and the county commission on course for a turf war over control of the building. . . .
At a meeting last week, the commission voted unanimously to kick the courts out of the building and relocate them to other county-owned buildings that are either not currently being used or will soon be vacated.
Not only does this solve the standoff, but according to Commissioner Debra Strickland, the county was in need of more room anyway. Booting the courts and judges will give the county much-needed room while also respecting the Second Amendment rights of those who work there.
Stories like this are a good reminder that we should never accept an anti-gun situation as something beyond our ability to change.
I hope they’re happy in their new, probably less-posh, quarters.
JUST MAKE SURE NONE OF THEIR BRIDGES ARE RACIST: Buttigieg calls for a Marshall Plan-style rebuilding of Ukraine.
Shouldn’t we wait until the war is actually over to implement the next Marshall Plan? And why are we calling for Marshall Plans to other countries, when we’re importing baby formula from Germany to the US?
Earlier: Berlin Airlift in Reverse: U.S. Flying Baby Formula From Germany. “There’s some irony in the news today about U.S. military planes flying baby formula from Germany to Indiana. Only this time, the threat isn’t from a foreign power. The threat is from the criminal incompetence of the Biden administration, which ignored the baby formula crisis for months until the media began to report on it.”

JONATHAN TURLEY: How the Sussmann trial revealed Hillary Clinton’s role in the Alfa Bank scandal. “Clinton was not supposed to be the object of the Sussmann trial, because Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, issued a series of orders limiting the scope of the trial and its evidence. The orders were viewed as ‘spar[ing] the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee … potential embarrassment.’ Yet, even after winning such limiting orders, it was the defense that called Mook to the stand — out of order, in the midst of the prosecution’s case, because he was scheduled to leave on vacation — and he proceeded to confirm that Clinton herself approved of the tactic. It was Washington’s worst-kept but least-acknowledged secret.”
