Trump Glad DOJ Caught A Leaker, Looking
Forward To Catching Comey’s ‘Band Of Thieves’
"I'm A Big Believer In The Freedom Of The Press, But I'm Also A
Believer In Classified Information," The President Said.
By NTK Staff
06.08.2018 @11:31am

“I’m a big believer in the freedom of the


press, but I’m also a believer in classified
information,” he said to the press.

Trump named fired FBI Director James “Comey and his


band of thieves” as additional leakers of classified
information. He expressed hope that they would be
brought to justice.

Federal law enforcement charged Senate Intelligence


Committee Director of Security James Wolfe with lying to
investigators related to a leak investigation.
President Trump told reporters on Friday that it was “very
interesting” that federal investigators caught an
“important” leaker, calling it a “terrific thing.”

AP Goes ‘Melania Conspiracy’ Over
Pres. Trump’s Update On First Lady’s Health
By Kristinn Taylor
June 8, 2018, 1:40 Pm

Maybe she should follow LBJ’s


example? Melania did not accompany her husband on the trip. The
President said to the press,

““First lady’s great–right there (pointing at


the White House). She has to, and she
wanted to go, can’t fly for one month, the
doctors say. She had a big operation! That
was a close to a four-hour operation. And
uh, she’s doing great. Right there. And you
know what? She’s a great First Lady.”

President Lyndon Johnson shows reporters


his gall bladder surgery scar, October 20, 1965.

The Associated Press and one of its White House


reporters, Darlene Superville, raised conspiratorial doubts
about the health of First Lady Melania Trump after her
husband President Donald Trump gave the press an update
on her health Friday morning as he left the White House
for the G7 summit in Quebec, saying Trump’s comments
added “mystery” and “intrigue” to the situation.

Melania spent five days at the military’s Walter Reed


National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland in May,
recuperating from a kidney procedure. Hospitals try to
discharge patients as soon as possible due to the risk of
infection, so a five day stay is an indication of a serious
procedure.

The AP posted a tweet for Superville’s article that reads,

“The first lady’s office said she’d undergone


a procedure for a benign kidney condition,
but Trump says the first lady isn’t traveling
with him because she had a four-hour
operation and doctors told her not to fly for
a month.”

Superville’s report reflected her initial conspiratorial take


on Trump’s remarks,

“.@POTUS adds to the intrigue


surrounding @FLOTUS, telling reporters

described as benign. She spent five nights
in a military hospital before returning to the
White House on May 19 to continue her
recuperation.
Her office has declined to provide
additional details about Mrs. Trump’s
condition, citing privacy rights.
Mrs. Trump’s absence, beginning soon
after she announced her initiative to teach
kindness to children, sparked all sorts of
theories about where she was and what
might have happened to her, including that
she had moved back to the family’s
penthouse at Trump Tower in New York…”

Superville’s report concluded saying Melania had made


her first public appearance since the surgery on
Wednesday at a FEMA hurricane season briefing, but
failed to note she had attended a private White House
reception for Gold Star families Monday evening or that
Melania had been seen by several reporters last week
walking around the White House.

On Wednesday President Trump blasted the media for


spreading vicious gossip about the First Lady as she
recuperated in private.

Former Senate Intel Committee aide,
James A. Wolfe, 57, was arrested on
Thursday after the DOJ conducted an
investigation into classified information

Wolfe repeatedly lied to investigators
about his contacts with reporters and
made false statements to the FBI.

The Justice Department also seized New York Times


reporter, Ali Watkins years’ worth of phone and email
records.

Watkins previously worked for Buzzfeed and Politico as a


national security reporter.

These tweets were posted just weeks before damaging


articles on Carter Page were published.

McCain’s statement reads, “To our allies: bipartisan

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) posted a statement Saturday

James Comey Attacks President Trump
Over G7 Dispute With Trudeau

June 9, 2018, 10:52 Pm

Fired FBI Director James Comey attacked President


Donald Trump over the Quebec G7 summit, posting to
Twitter a typical Comey-style passive/aggressive statement
that did not mention Trump by name.

James Comey spoke at a progressive Canadian conference last week.


“Our national security relationship with
Canada is vital and saves American lives. It
was built over generations and is bigger
than any person or dispute. This too shall
pass.”

Trump posted a statement about his issues with Canadian


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the G7 summit to Twitter
on Saturday after he had left Quebec for Singapore.

“Based on Justin’s false statements at his


news conference, and the fact that Canada
is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S.

But there is also proof that the President has been thinking
about how to deal with North Korea for years.

President Donald Trump expressed confidence Friday that
he is fully prepared for his planned summit with North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but with only days to go until
the historic event, Democrats and experts still have
reservations about his negotiating strategy.

“I always believe in preparation, but I’ve


been preparing all my life,”

Trump told reporters outside the White House on Friday


morning before leaving for the G7 summit in Canada. He
is scheduled to leave there on Saturday morning to travel
to Singapore, where he is set to meet with Kim Tuesday to
discuss shutting down the reclusive regime’s nuclear
weapons program.

Dinesh D’Souza To Compare President Trump To Abe
Lincoln In Upcoming Film:
“Death Of A Nation”
By Jim Hoft
June 11, 2018, 9:37 Am

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza


announced his latest project recently to
The Hollywood Reporter.
D’Souza links President Trump to
President Abraham Lincoln – the Great
Emmancipator – in his latest project:
Death of a Nation.
The movie is set for an August 3rd release.

Via The Hollywood Reporter:

In a move that could raise the suspicions of


his detractors, recently pardoned Dinesh
D’Souza tells The Hollywood Reporter that
his next movie will liken Donald Trump to
Abraham Lincoln, including a poster that
morphs an image of the two U.S.
presidents.
The poster, unveiled here for the first time,
features a U.S. flag, images of slavery, the
Civil War, modern-day university riots,
Lincoln’s and Trump’s face combined as
one and the upcoming film’s title: Death of
a Nation.
The poster also includes D’Souza’s name
and that of Gerald R. Molen, advertised as
the Academy Award-winning producer of
the two Steven Spielberg films Schindler’s
List and Jurassic Park.
“Death of a Nation draws a provocative
analogy between Lincoln and Trump,”
D’Souza tells THR. “Not that they’re the

President Trump earlier this month. Democrats so dramatically refused to

accept the outcome of a presidential
election.”
D’Souza acknowledges that the optics of a
pro-Trump documentary will be deemed
suspicious in some circles, given the
president pardoned him May 31 for
violating campaign finance laws.
“We’ve been working on the film for more
than a year and commissioned the artwork
two months ago. Trump had no inkling of
the art or the theme of the movie when he
pardoned me,” says D’Souza.

into denuclearization talks after completing its nuclear


weapons program has left many media sources puzzled.

One explanation is that the talks are solely due to warming


ties between North and South Korea. Another is that North
Korea is desperate for cash after years of punishing
economic sanctions that have been very effective.

Some believe that Kim has launched the meeting merely to


gain time and does not intend to follow through on any
agreements reached at the talk. Yet another explanation is
that Trump is setting Kim up for failure in order to justify
military actions against North Korea which will

call out the Times on Twitter. On Friday, Mr. Trump said, “It could even
be the 12th.”
Later on Friday, the president reinforced
that possibility, saying on Twitter that if the
meeting were rescheduled, it would “likely
remain” on that day, “and, if necessary, will
be extended beyond that date.”
“We are having very productive talks with
North Korea,” he said.”

CBS News reported on what was actually said by the


official which was not what the Times reported.

While the official didn’t use the word

a June 12 summit would still be possible,
that there’s “really not a lot of time” to make
that happen, and “June 12th is in 10

told reporters Thursday afternoon. “We’ve

president has said that someday he looks
forward to meeting with him.”

Trump had even tweeted the evening of the Trump did get one thing wrong about the Times’

then (Matthew) Pottinger makes the

After the false report by the Times, Trump tweeted,

“The Failing @nytimes quotes “a senior

saying “even if the meeting were
reinstated, holding it on June 12 would be
impossible, given the lack of time and the

By Jim Hoft
June 12, 2018, 11:30 Am

The promise of a “new world” was presented to North


Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday (Jun 12), in a
video made especially for him and shown at the historic
summit between him and United States President Donald
Trump.

The video, which was about four minutes long, was shown
by Mr. Trump to Mr. Kim on Tuesday when the two
leaders met. It was also aired – in both a Korean and an
English version – before Mr. Trump gave a press briefing
later that day.

President Donald J. Trump met with North Korean leader


Kim Jong Un in Singapore Tuesday for historic peace
talks.

Here is the video President Trump


prepared for North Korea.
During their meetings President Trump showed the North
Korean leader a video promising “a new world.” There is also a Korean language version.

In HUGE Win For Trump, Xi Jinping Pulls
Missiles From South China Sea Leading Up To
Successful North Korea Summit

South China Sea. In recent years, China has taken major


steps to heavily fortify the island, building runways for
military aircraft and installing anti-ship and anti-aircraft
missiles, much to the dismay of the United States and our

remove the missiles from the South China Sea, one of the
most critical stretches of ocean in the world, is widely seen
by policy experts as a nod of approval to President Trump,

Career State Dept. Officer SMACKS DOWN
Critics Of POTUS Trump’s Summit With Kim:
‘STOP Watching MSM!’
Posted On June 13, 2018

(National Sentinel) All Wrong: President Donald Trump’s


summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was
nothing short of historic. He has put both countries on a
path toward permanent peace and denuclearization of the
Korean peninsula.
A year ago everyone was worried we were headed to
nuclear war against North Korea. That includes the
pinheaded Washington Establishment commentariat who
claimed that Trump was going to prove their worst
fears correct.
But now that he’s brought both countries back from the
precipice of war, the very same pinheads are criticizing
every aspect of the deal.
Trump’s a dolt because he ‘gave away too much.’
He didn’t ‘bring up Kim’s abysmal human rights record.’
He didn’t get anything at all from the tyrant dictator.
All of that is “100 percent wrong,” according to 24-year As Zero Hedge noted further:
State Department veteran and geopolitics expert Peter Van

or “abandoned” as Vox , MSNBC, and

He next pushed back on claims that Trump handed Kim a


“propaganda coup.”
“So anyone please tell me what a

Stupid.
Then Van Buren addressed the lie that Trump ‘gave away
the store.’
“Concessions? Kim’s ongoing moratorium
on nuclear and ballistic missile testing, the
return of American prisoners, the closing of
a ballistic missile test site, and the shutting
down of nuclear test facility without opening
a new one,” he wrote.
The ‘coup’ came, as one ignorant observer noted, as a
result of the U.S. and North Korean flags standing
with equal prominence behind the two leaders — standard
operating procedure for diplomatic events, Van Buren
points out.

He also reminded everyone what the real deterrent to

Kim’s moratorium on nuclear and

The fact is this summit was only a first step. Reports note

The long anticipated inspector general's bombshell report


on the Clinton email investigation is expected to point
blame at 'insubordinate' James Comey.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is


releasing the report on Thursday, just in time for the
President Trump's 72nd birthday.

Several top Justice Department and FBI officials are


expected to come under scrutiny in the report, including
Comey, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former
Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and FBI official
Peter Strzok.

The result could be a flurry of written demands for public


testimony – from Comey and former attorney general

Horowitz's report is widely expected to criticize Comey

Clinton had done little to help their sons and then lied to

weeks after being filed.

IG Report: FBI Agents Found Huma Abedin Deleting
Classified/Hillary Emails From Yahoo Account But Failed
To Subpoena Her Devices
By Cristina Laila

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION on the disgraced


politician’s computer.

It turns out Hillary Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin


forwarded sensitive State Department emails to all of her
insecure Yahoo email accounts which were later hacked by
foreign actors. Among the foreign agents that hacked
Huma’s Yahoo emails included RUSSIANS.

According to The Daily Caller, the three email accounts


Abedin used were abedinh@state.gov,
huma@clintonemail.com, and humamabedin@yahoo.com.
On Thursday, Inspector General Michael
Horowitz released his much-anticipated
report on FBI and DOJ actions during the Now this…

Huma forwarded State Department passwords and
classified emails to this Yahoo account before it was

sink in.

There’s more…

FROM IG REPORT:

In late December, the State Department released a portion “[T]he Midyear team did not obtain search
of the documents found on pervert Anthony Weiner’s warrants to examine the content of emails in
laptop and at least 5 emails contain classified information. Mills’s or Abedin’s private email accounts
and did not seek to obtain any of the senior
aides’ personal devices.”
The FBI seized Weiner’s laptop after he was caught
sexting with an underage teenager and discovered
WTF?!

375
As previously reported, then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe knew about Hillary’s emails on Weiner’s laptop
as early as September of 2016 and didn’t alert the bureau
for an entire MONTH.

The FBI waited over a month to obtain a warrant to review


emails on Weiner’s laptop.

President Trump even called for Huma to be jailed back in


January.

The Inspector General said,

“In assessing Strzok’s decision to prioritize the


Russia investigation over following up on the
Midyear-related investigative lead discovered
on the Weiner laptop in October, 2016, these
text messages led us to conclude that we did
not have confidence that Strzok’s decision was
free from bias.”
This once again proves if you are Hillary Clinton or her
aides, either the devices will not be subpoenaed or if they
are, you can destroy them with hammers and BleachBit
without fear of reprisal.

decided to have Axelrod communicate “the strong view
that neither the DAG nor [AG] felt this letter should go

with Comey would be perceived as “strongarming” him,
and that based on her experience with Comey, he was
likely to “push back hard” against input from Lynch or her,
especially if accepting their input meant that he had to go
back to his staff and explain that he was reversing his
decision. She said that she viewed Rybicki as the person
they needed to convince if they wanted to change Comey’s

was then a part of Nazi Germany, but is now Poland.
The latest outrage on the Left pertains to the Trump
administration’s continuation of an Obama-era policy that
separates children from criminal adults who attempt to
sneak into the U.S. illegally.

Last week an unruly CNN reporter, Brian Karem,


screamed at White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee
Sanders over the policy in a disgusting display of
partisanship that, frankly, should have resulted in the
Secret Service perp-walking him out of the White House
and revoking his press pass.

Democrats used Father’s Day to


repudiate the Trump administration’s
“zero tolerance” policy toward illegal
immigrants.
The anti-Trump lawmakers took to
social media to pile on President Trump,
declaring Sunday a
“#FathersDayofAction.”

Our kids, Ted?


So these are “our kids” now?
Ironically, Democrat leadership was
complacent during the Obama
presidency when kids who were caught
crossing the border were subjected to
volatile detention and horrendous
trafficking.

them to traffickers and abuses. The boys were forced to work at an egg farm are among
125,000 unaccompanied minors who have flooded into the
United States since 2011 to escape socialistic unrest in
South America.

Another Guatemalan was placed with a sponsor who


forced him to work at least 12 hours a day to pay off a
$6,500 smuggling debt, which the sponsor later increased
to $10,900, according to the report.

A boy from El Salvador was permitted to live with his


abusive father, despite explaining caseworker that had
regularly hitting him with an electrical cord. When the boy
alerted authorities in September that his father forced him
to work all day for, a post-release case worker discovered
the boy starving, malnourished and imprisoned in a
basement.

Democrats used images of children in detention to attack


Trump as inhumane – until they realized the images were
taken in 2014 when migrants flooded the border because of
Obama’s migration friendly policies.

According to the 56 page investigative report released in


January 2016, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, an
agency of the Department of Health and Human Services
failed to properly vet government approved caretakers who
claimed the children, placed children in homes without
visiting the locations, permitted the adults who claimed the
children to obtain custody of multiple unrelated children
and ignored “serious trafficking indicators.”

Once the children were placed in the homes of the


government approved caretakers, not only did the agency
fail to provide any oversight of the children’s well being,
but allowed the adult sponsors to prevent caseworkers
from providing them post-release services. Breitbart’s Brandon Darby has documented the conditions

information provided by sponsors about their alleged
relationship with the child,” the report said.

The report details at least 30 instances


of unaccompanied children that had
been trafficked because of the Obama
administration’s laxed policies and
procedures.

Crooked Hillary Cites Bible Verse To Fight Against

“All told the situation on the border is

Authorities see clear evidence of illegals

President Trump blasted the Democrats
over immigration laws in a barrage of
tweets:

Hillary Clinton, one of the most corrupt, criminal liars to


ever hold public office in this country had the nerve to cite
a Bible verse to fight against current immigration laws that
separate illegal alien children from ‘parents’ at the border.

This exact law was in place during the Obama years, but
now since Trump is president, it is suddenly a
humanitarian crisis and Republicans are evil for allowing it
to happen.

We have no definitive proof the children are even related


to the adults they show up with at the border which only
encourages child trafficking.

In fact, Saagar Enjeti from The Daily


Caller reports, “single males with
‘children’ are increasingly arriving.
Neither the child nor the adult can
answer basic questions about each

fraud.”

Cable News: 22 Comparisons Of Immigration Policy To
The Holocaust, Slavery
By Bill D'Agostino
June 18, 2018 11:55 PM EDT

“Increasingly, Donald Trump is turning


this nation into Nazi Germany and
turning these [detention centers] into
concentration camps.”

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, evidently eager to join in the


hyperventilating excitement, managed to last less than a
minute before evoking concentration camps while hosting
Hardball on Monday. Throughout the show, he repeatedly
interrupted guests to draw their attention to images of
crying children that flashed across the screen.

The pundit class have officially snapped over the Trump


administration’s zero-tolerance border enforcement policy.
Since Friday, the collective breakdown has yielded a total
of 22 instances in which cable news commentators
compared the separation of parents and children illegally
entering the country to World War II-era war crimes and
human rights violations.

The Holocaust was invoked 12 times across CNN and


MSNBC between June 15 and the 18th, generally in the
form of comparisons between DHS detention centers and
Nazi concentration camps. There were also six mentions of
Japanese-American internment camps, as well as four Media darling and former National Security Director
comparisons to slavery. General Michael Hayden poured gasoline on the fire with a

showers, and then they never came
back. You’d think they would use

Over the weekend, CNN political commentator Dave


Jacobson threw a miniature tantrum over the policy. On
Saturday’s CNN Newsroom during the 10 a.m. hour, he
opined,

“Donald Trump increasingly looks like While cooler heads in the media condemned this

during two CNN appearances on Monday.
