A long time ago, in a lost halcyon land called DCF, a brave stranger named DSL told me that Brietbart wasn't news, but a blog.

Because it is a blog.

Oh good... so we can take their writings as opinion and editorial still.

Unlike CNN and most of your ridiculous news sources, they don't hide their agenda.

Fact is, we really don't have news any longer. Not anywhere.

Also among those whose computer systems may have been compromised is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat who was previously the target of a disastrous email hack when she served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign.

The brothers are suspected of serious violations, including accessing members’ computer networks without their knowledge and stealing equipment from Congress.

That was how the accounts were accessed. It starts with these guys.

Did you even read my post?

I linked and quotes the Daily Caller Article, guess where they source their report from? Politico, which I linked and quoted, and which says this has nothing to do with the DNC servers, since it is House of Rep computers, and that these guys got in trouble for stealing equipment.

Uh.. yeah.. and I quoted from the article you linked, and I am still wondering if you even read it..

Some details on Keith Kellogg via Tom Ricks.

Kellogg is an old school 82nd Airborne infantryman who also spent time in special forces. If I recall correctly, he got in hot water in the early 1990s when as a colonel in Europe he went into Bosnia, studied the situation, and then wrote a memorandum recommending that the United States prepare to intervene in the conflict. His reasoning was that American intervention was inevitable, so it might as well come sooner, before tens of thousands of additional people died. As I recall, he got called on the carpet by Gen. Colin Powell, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who chewed him out partly on substance (your recommendation is wrong) but mainly on process (don’t put stuff like that on paper because it is then reachable by Congress).

Kellogg is interesting in that in the Army he was a hooah commander, but in retirement got first into homeland security issues, and later worked for Ambassador Paul Bremer in Baghdad during the Coalition Provisional Authority days.

I do have to wonder what goes through the head of a two-tour, Silver Star, Vietnam vet like Kellogg when he looks at Trump.

Personal note: The oddity here, for me, is that both generals invited me to come in and speak to their people while they were in command — Kellogg at 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, Flynn at the Defense Intelligence Agency. That may not seem like much, but I was pretty radioactive with some defense secretaries and Joint Chiefs chairmen, so I think it showed courage on their parts.

I also see the name of retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward being discussed as a possible successor. He’s a tough old SEAL who served under James Mattis at Central Command, where he was in charge of planning a war against Iran.

Replacement is going to be another high ranking officer? OK for me, the generals/admirals are far more rational than some Rumsfeld-type.

Too close or cozy relations with Russia isn't a thing people in the American security & military establishment will make you popular. Dems and the media will make the most of this.

It won't even have to be spun as compromising, he can throw the Outsider people under the bus, and the GOP information warfare machine will make it as if those people never even existed.

Bannon who?

I've forgotten him already, and he isn't even fired yet. Stalinist Purges FTW.

Bannon's true mistake was not to stay as a political advisor behind the curtains, but openly get into the the limelight of media attention with the seat in the NSC. Hence if there's going to be any fuck ups, guess who is going to be blamed. Advisors work through their Presidents, not take a role themselves.

[Speaker to Animals]

If it weren't for Bannon, we'd be suffering a Clinton presidency and probably civil and nuclear war, so I wouldn't get all Ed Shultz on everybody, declaring what Bannon's big mistake was..

Bannon is the VIP in this administration, not Flynn.

I think the person who should go is Preibus, personally.

I still find it disturbing that few people in the media decided to even mention the dangers of the Obama administration ordering the intelligence apparatus to spy on the incoming administration.

The media is pretty good at getting people to focus on stupid bullshit so that they never stop and think about the serious ramifications of the news. That's why they put everything in terms of their analysis and opinion.

Consider what would happen if we had actual news. The story would read something like:

Obama administration ordered the intelligence community to spy on the incoming Trump administration team. The intelligence community surreptitiously recorded a conversation between Flynn and a Russian diplomat. While the recording produced no evidence of criminal wrongdoing, the discussion did not in fact comport to his description of it to Vice President Pence.


Then consider that in the context of the Yates betrayal of her duties and working in opposition to the administration she was supposed to serve. Consider that there must be plenty of these sleepers dispersed throughout the federal government, placed by the Obama admin, and waiting for their chance to cause mayhem.

But most of all consider where we have gone as a nation when the intelligence community is openly spying on the president and his cabinet.. That's truly something to think about, and CNN definitely doesn't want you to consider it.

Ain't spyin' on Russians the intelligence communities bread n' Butter?

I thought monitoring phone calls from diplomats representing countries we have difficult relations with was standard.
