Its all coming apart. There seems to have been collusion but it may have been between the Obama - Clinton forces and elements of the top leadership of the intelligence agencies to bias a political campaign.
If the full Tweet above doesn't show, it's lining to this Consortium News article.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. And they should pay for it if that's the case.
They tried to destroy democracy. These are the people, please remember, who insisted the election results would have to be respected. Instead, they've disrespected the results and attacked every other candidate and anyone who didn't vote for Hillary.
The media has lied and been in on this. They've smeared Jill Stein and so many others with lies.
All because a disgusting candidate couldn't earn the votes needed to make it to the White House.
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Monday, July 23, 2018. An attack in Erbil catches more attention from the western media than the attack on protesters.
Let's start with this from Justin Raimondo (ANTIWAR.COM):
In an unprecedented move, the Justice Department has released the FISA application submitted by the FBI to spy on Carter Page, the rather hapless would-be advisor to the Trump campaign who has been smeared as a “Russian agent” – but has not been charged after almost two years.
We’ve never before even seen a FISA application, in which law enforcement agents explain to a judge why it is necessary for them to conduct surveillance on an American citizen, and so this is a special treat. The document that came out of this unique Freedom of Information Act request shows that the FBI had an ulterior motive in going after Page – and that they lied to the FISA court judge.
In order to get the judge to agree to the surveillance, the FBI had to establish a fairly convincing probable cause: at a minimum, agents had to identify multiple sources indicating that an act of espionage may have occurred or is about to occur imminently. This FISA application shows that the FBI had a single source: the unverified “dossier,” compiled by “former” MI6 agent Christopher Steele, bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign to dig up dirt on Trump. The other ostensible “sources” were news articles by journalists whom Steele had leaked to. There was a clear intent to deceive the judge who read this application.
This technique is a familiar one: remember how the neocons used to quote each other as “proof” that Saddam had “weapons of mass destruction”? It’s the old echo chamber trick, and every third-rate smear artist deploys it. The question arises: so is this how the FBI carries out its “investigations” into espionage?
Why did we start with that? KPFA couldn't tell us about Iraq on Sunday's KPFA EVENING NEWS but they could lie about what Justin just covered. Woops! They lied again. This time their lies are so bad, you can't even defend them. KPFA needs to get its mouth out of the gutter and its head out of its ass. Lying to listeners does not build trust.

If you can not lift the injustice
At least tell everyone
Ali. Shariati
A good motto. Sadly, it's not the motto of KPFA.
Is this how KPFA will go out? Lying to listeners? There's no reason for anyone to donate to hear lies.
While we're correcting the lies of cowards, let's also note this -- I saw it on ANTIWAR.COM.
"Pornography passing as news coverage." Stephen Cohen is exactly right. And we're noting the above because his hideous and cowardly wife stabs him in the back.
BREAKING: Gunmen storm the governorate building in Erbil, the seat of the Kurdistan gov't in northern Iraq aje.io/lswm4
ALJAZEERA reports on violence in the KRG where an attack in the capital (Erbil) has resulted in several deaths. How many people are dead?
TRT (above) reports that 1 KRG employee was shot dead by assailants and states that there were three assailants and all were shot dead. That would be four killed. There are conflicting reports with some identifying suicide bombers as part of the attack (FRANCE 24 says there were two suicide bombers who detonated).
TRT notes a car bombing 3 years ago and how violent attacks are rare in Erbil.
The attack follows by less than a week Brett McGurk's announcement of an attack on the Makhmour Mountains.
Our @coalition supported joint coordinated operations between Iraqi Security Forces and Kurdish #Peshmerga yesterday against #ISIS hideouts in the Makhmour Mountains.
The attack follows by two weeks the announcement by the US government that construction had started on a US consulate in Erbil (a new one, there's already one consulate in Erbil):
The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations Breaks Ground on the New U.S. Consulate Compound in Erbil, Iraq
In
a demonstration of enduring friendship and the important bilateral
partnership, U.S. Ambassador Douglas A. Silliman and U.S. Consul General
Ken Gross broke ground today on the new U.S. Consulate Compound in
Erbil, Iraq.
The
new U.S. Consulate Compound will provide a secure, modern, and
environmentally sustainable platform for diplomacy. The project is
expected to be completed in 2022.
EYP of Albany, New York is the design architect for the project and B.L. Harbert of Birmingham, Alabama is the construction contractor.

Since
1999, as part of the Department’s Capital Security Construction
Program, the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) has completed
144 new diplomatic facilities and has an additional 57 projects in
design or under construction.
OBO’s
mission is to provide safe, secure, and functional facilities that
represent the U.S. government to host nations and support staff in
achieving U.S. foreign policy objectives. These facilities represent
U.S. values and the best in U.S. architecture, engineering, technology,
sustainability, art, culture, and construction execution.
July 7th, the KRG noted:
Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq (cabinet.gov.krd) - Prime Minister
Nechirvan Barzani attended the ground breaking ceremony of the new US
Consulate General compound in Erbil, alongside with U.S. Ambassador to
Iraq, Mr. Douglas Silliman, U.S. Consul General in Erbil, Mr. Ken Gross,
and a number of Kurdistan Regional Government officials.
Prime Minister Barzani, in a speech during the ceremony, described
the relations between the Kurdistan Region and the United States as
important. He also commended the role of the U.S. forces in assisting
the Kurdistan Region to defeat ISIS.
He said building a new compound for the U.S. consulate in Erbil is an
important step, and a sign of the U.S. interest in the Kurdistan
Region. He hoped that the United States will further strengthen its
relations with the Kurdistan Region and Iraq.
The new U.S. Consulate compound is being constructed on a 51-acre
with a total budget of 795 million Dollars. The environmentally-friendly
compound, which also houses a permanent art collection, is anticipated
to be completed in 2022.
In Iraq, protest continues. So does the abuse of protesters.
THE DAILY STAR notes:
Fresh protests hit southern Iraq Sunday as medical sources said 11 demonstrators were killed in two weeks of unrest, sparked by ire over corruption and lack of public services. Security forces remained deployed around Baghdad after struggling Friday to disperse crowds of angry protesters who took to the streets.
Demonstrations have roiled swaths of southern and central Iraq since erupting in the oil-rich port city of Basra on July 8, when security forces opened fire killing one person.
TRT adds:
Shamefully, much of the international media has barely covered the
eruption of popular protests that have swept mainly southern Iraq over
the past few weeks. Iraqis in the oil-rich south took to the streets,
calling on the federal government to end corruption, institute effective
policies to ensure Iraqis had gainful employment, and to put an end to
foreign interference, primarily coming from Iraq’s ever troublesome
neighbour to the east, Iran.
In response, the protesters have faced police brutality, and
abduction at the hands of pro-Iran Shia militias who have a vested
interest in crippling Iraq and making sure that it continues to be a
gangland that they can milk dry.
As the protests continue, Hayder al-Abadi has so little to offer that he has to depend upon others.

ALSUMARIA adds that the US is stating it will help as well. "Help," promised by the US Embassy in Baghdad is left undefined.
