OBAMA DOJ AND FBI SPY CAMPAIGN: The New York Times Can't Even Keep Its Lies Straight
Some careful observers have identified multiple conflicts within the Times story, which was an obvious attempt by those implicated in the scandal to leak their way to a positive spin.
THE STORM: Obama DOJ and FBI Leadership Referred for Criminal Prosecution for Clinton Email Cover-Up
As we reported earlier Thursday, a long-awaited report by the Department of Justice's internal watchdog into the Hillary Clinton email investigation has moved into its final phase, as the DOJ notified multiple subjects mentioned in the document that they can privately review it by week's end, and will have a "few days" to craft any response to criticism contained within the report, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Those invited to review the report were told they would have to sign nondisclosure agreements in order to read it, people familiar with the matter said. They are expected to have a few days to craft a response to any criticism in the report, which will then be incorporated in the final version to be released in coming weeks. -WSJ
Now, journalist Paul Sperry reports that "IG Horowitz has found "reasonable grounds" for believing there has been a violation of federal criminal law in the FBI/DOJ's handling of the Clinton investigation/s and has referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber for possible criminal prosecution."

STRASSEL: A few important points on that New York Times "Crossfire Hurricane" piece
So a few important points on that new NYT "Crossfire Hurricane" piece. A story that, by the way, all of us following this knew had to be coming.
This is DOJ/FBI leakers' attempt to get in front of the facts House Intel Committee Chairman Nunes is forcing out, to make it sound... not so bad.
Don't buy it. It's bad.
Biggest takeaway: Government "sources" admit that, indeed, the Obama DOJ and FBI spied on the Trump campaign.

QOTD: "Former CIA Director John Brennan’s insistence that the salacious and unverified Steele dossier was not part of the official Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election is being contradicted by two top former officials.
Recently retired National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers stated in a classified letter to Congress that the Clinton campaign-funded memos did factor into the ICA. And James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence under President Obama, conceded in a recent CNN interview that the assessment was based on “some of the substantive content of the dossier.” Without elaborating, he maintained that “we were able to corroborate” certain allegations.
These accounts are at odds with Brennan’s May 2017 testimony before the House Intelligence Committee that the Steele dossier was "not in any way used as the basis for the intelligence community's assessment" that Russia interfered in the election to help elect Donald Trump. Brennan has repeated this claim numerous times, including in February on “Meet the Press.”" --Paul Sperry

GAME-CHANGER: Russian Associate of Robert Mueller Refused FBI Request to Manufacture Collusion Narrative
John Solomon, writing at The Hill, offers a comprehensive perspective on the FBI's long relationship with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, starting with Robert Mueller. The digest version is that Mueller's FBI once solicited Deripaska to pony up $25 million to help arrange the rescue of former FBI agent Robert Levinson, captured in Iran in 2007 while working for the CIA.
What Deripaska was offered by Mueller to help is left unmentioned. Deripaska came through, but Levinson was left stranded on Iranian tarmac by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for reasons yet unknown.
The story of the Levinson operation was confirmed by more than a dozen individuals both inside and outside the FBI. Deripaska, his lawyer, the Levinson family, and a retired FBI agent all confirmed the account. And Robert Mueller was, according to the report, kept fully apprised of the high-profile and sensitive operation.
But the real news is buried a dozens paragraphs down:
PAPA B: The “Jack” Story
My brother and I were fortunate to be raised by wonderful parents and a large loving family. My father died when I was 25 and while I learned many lessons from him, perhaps my greatest regret is how much more I could have learned as well as being able to pass them on to my children. One of the early stories he would tell us repeatedly until it became such a legend -- in fact, all he had to do was say the phrase, "The Jack Story" -- all became clear to us. Here is:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): "None of us were invited. This trip started two weeks ago when I was walking down the Senate hallway and I turned to Lindsey and said, 'Hey, in two weeks we are moving the embassy, why don't we go to Jerusalem and go there together.' Lindsey said, 'Fantastic. Great idea. Let's do it,' and we put together this trip, and Dean [Heller] and Mike [Lee] both said, "I want to be there.' You look at the 10 House members who came, any member of Congress could have come here as part of the congressional delegation. There was no administration invitation. There was no one in the White House who decided who they want. There were Senators who decided to show up. Former Senator Joe Lieberman chose to be here. It wasn't a formal invitation. I'm gratified by those who came, but I am saddened. Support for Israel should not be a partisan issue, and it's worrisome that the fallout of President Obama's Iran deal is that more and more we are seeing a divide along partisan lines. That's not good for Israel, and it's not good for America."

ANOTHER CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE CONFIRMS: Comey Contradicting Himself on Gen. Flynn
The contradictions of former FBI director James Comey keep piling up. The latest came Friday when Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley provided new evidence that Mr. Comey told Congress a different story last year about the truthfulness of former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn than Mr. Comey is now telling the public...In short, he was lying before Congress or he's lying now.

THE MUELLER/SALEM WITCH-HUNT: “[A] limitless pit of political hatred dressed up as law enforcement"
A federal trial judge’s merciless thrashing of lawyers for out-of-control Special Counsel Robert Mueller prosecuting Paul Manafort suggests that the former Trump campaign manager’s conviction on unrelated bank fraud charges may not be the foregone conclusion the media keeps telling us it is.
The independent-minded behavior of T.S. Ellis III at a May 4 hearing on a motion to dismiss charges against Manafort seems so unlike that of so many of his applause-seeking brethren on the federal bench. It also seems to indicate there are still federal judges out there who are not establishment toadies shackled in thrall-like servility to the Deep State. (A transcript of the day’s proceedings may be viewed here.)
Appointed by President Reagan in 1987, Alexandria, Va.-based Judge Ellis “could be the ultimate nightmare” for Mueller, Richard Pollock notes at the Daily Caller, adding that a dismissal of the charges against Manafort “could be a major wrecking ball to Mueller’s overall case in his Russian collusion case against President Donald Trump.”

CHILLING: It Looks Like the Obama FBI Secretly Embedded a Spy in the Trump Campaign
[It appears that] the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.
This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough. Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations, while the FBI played dirty with its surveillance warrant against Carter Page, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that its supporting information came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now we find it may have also been rolling out [covert agents] to infiltrate the Trump campaign.

QOTD: "...Remember one thing about this Iran deal. In talking about the Europeans — the French, the Brits, the Germans — and even Americans, the reason that they were all-in on this -- [and it has] nothing to do with nuclear weapons... It had nothing to do with anything other than sanctions were going to be dropped on Iran, which meant the Iranian market was opening up.
At the time, the Iranian national airline was in a decrepit state. Their airplanes, their aircraft were grounded; they had not very many that were airworthy. It was in a disastrous state. One of the reasons that Boeing signed on as a signatory to the deal was they wanted a shot at selling jets to Iran. That’s one of the reasons Iranians were given the $150 billion by Obama. They were tied to Obama’s donors.
Obama sends $150 billion to Iran... John Kerry admitted (summarized), “Some of the money’s gonna fund terrorism. We can’t deny that,” he said. “Yeah, we’re gonna be funding Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria. So, yeah, but, there’s gonna be good that’s done with this money." ... So the French and the U.K. were all-in on this because they had Airbus. Everybody wanted to sell the Iranians aircraft. Everybody wanted to sell the Iranians everything." --Rush Limbaugh

Update:
NIXING THE IRAN DEAL: Where was this concern when Obama abandoned agreements with Ukraine, Israel, Poland,etc.?
This deal was not America's because Obama refused to take the treaty deal through Congress. He used a pen and a phone, just like Trump.
Hilarious. Where was this concern when Obama abandoned agreements with Ukraine, Israel, Poland, and countless other allies? Where was this when Obama abandoned his own red line on Syria to not endanger the Iran deal? https://t.co/GdACwDxinz

QOTD: "Of all the arguments for the Trump administration to honor the nuclear deal with Iran, none was more risible than the claim that we gave our word as a country to keep it.
“Our”?
The Obama administration refused to submit the deal to Congress as a treaty, knowing it would never get two-thirds of the Senate to go along. Just 21 percent of Americans approved of the deal at the time it went through... Build on political sand; get washed away by the next electoral wave. Such was the fate of the ill-judged and ill-founded J.C.P.O.A., which Donald Trump killed on Tuesday by refusing to again waive sanctions on the Islamic Republic. He was absolutely right to do so..." --Bret Stephens, New York Times
