FBI Dirty Tricks Exposed in Clinton Lawyer Trial

 

Who needs to spend millions on television commercials or Facebook ads if you’ve got friends in the FBI who can pull off a political dirty trick for you?

Just look how cozy Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann and FBI general counsel James A. Baker are in text messages revealed in Thursday’s testimony at Sussmann’s trial.

Can you meet tomorrow, Sussmann asks the high-ranking government official. “OK, I will find a time,” Baker answers. Does he need help getting into the building? No, Sussmann answers, I have a badge to get into the Federal Bureau of Investigation. How convenient.

It was during this meeting that Sussmann peddled the false story that Donald Trump was secretly communicating with a Russian bank.

Sussmann obviously is guilty of the crime of which special counsel John Durham accuses him, lying to the FBI, despite his claims otherwise. He specifically says to Baker that he’s not coming in “on behalf of any client or company” when he was working for ­Clinton.

But are we really to believe Baker didn’t know that Sussmann — a well-known Democratic lawyer who can drop by the FBI at the drop of a hat — was a ­biased tipster? Worse, when Baker passes Sussmann’s story to FBI agents, he doesn’t tell them where it’s coming from, allowing the lawyer anonymity even as an investigation finds his tale is garbage.

Durham is pursuing a narrow indictment, but what he’s exposing is far larger. An unethical Clinton campaign, a biased government bureaucracy, and an insouciant class of Beltway insiders who figured they could get away with anything.

Balagan at Meron as Hundreds of Chareidim destroy safety infrastructure at Meron... They Learned Nothing! Time to Close it Down on Lag Be'Omer

 


Irresponsible selfish behavior. Anybody who hides behind the curtain of being religious and saying they’re doing this for the good of Judaism and for Gd ..
is a complete fraud. It’s a miracle that another tragedy didn’t happen. 
Close it down for Lag Be'omer now! 
R' Shimon Ben Yochai doesn't want another Jew to die because of a celebration honoring him!
They are already blaming the police! What Chutzpah!
Watch the video, this is NOT people trying to get OUT, these are people pushing their way IN, pushing and shoving each other. 
45 Jewish souls dead murdered by other Jews, and no one cares! 

Hundreds of haredi extremists broke into the Tomb of the Talmudic sage Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai on Mount Meron, breaking down the partitions between the men's and women's sections, threw fences to the ground, and endangered the lives of the people inside the compound.

Police rescued the women and children from the tomb and are working to bring the riot under control.

In light of the violent riot, it has been decided to halt the bussing of people to the site to mark the Lag B'Omer holiday. The celebrations have been halted following the deliberate destruction of safety infrastructure at the site, rendering it impossible to fulfill the safety guidelines required to hold the evens.

A memorial event for the 45 people who perished in the disaster on Mount Meron last year was scheduled for tonight. The organizers of the Meron celebrations will examine whether the memorial can still be held after consulting with professionals and officials on the issue.

The incident is especially unfortunate as Lag B’Omer almost passed without any ugly incidents despite the long waiting periods, lines, and the intense heat.

Opposition is now the majority in the knesset ...Leftist Arab Topples Government

 

A left-wing lawmaker announced Thursday that she will resign from the coalition - the latest blow to the Bennett government.

MK Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi (Meretz) penned a letter to Foreign Minister Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) Thursday afternoon, informing him that she plans on leaving the coalition, and will not be serving as consul-general to Shanghai.

With Zoabi's departure from the coalition, the Bennett government will have only 59 seats in the Knesset, giving the Opposition an absolute majority.

The Opposition is slated to bring a bill dissolving the Knesset to a vote next Wednesday.

MK Zoabi did not update either Prime Minister Naftali Bennett or Foreign Minister Yair Lapid of her plans prior to penning her letter Thursday. Nor did Zoabi notify her own Meretz party, which learned of her decision from media reports. Zoabi is expected to be given a place on the Joint Arab List's Knesset slate for the next election.

Israel Mask Mandate On Flights To End May 23

 

For the past 26 months, air passengers to and from Israel have been required to wear masks.

Today, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz announced the demise of this policy. Beginning at midnight on May 23 (the night between Sunday and Monday), masks will no longer be required on flights to or from Israel.

Chaim V’Chessed notes that the announcement comes on the heels of the cancellation of Covid testing for air passengers. Hence, the only Covid related travel rule will be the requirement to fill out the online Health Declaration.

'You are as much to blame as the terrorists.' Family of fallen Border Police officer Noam Raz excoriate Prime Minister during his visit.

 

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett faced heavy criticism during a condolence call to the family of a fallen Border Police officer Wednesday.

Bennett visited the outpost community of Kida near Shilo in Samaria Wednesday morning, to offer his condolences to the family of Noam Raz, the 47-year-old Border Police officer from the elite Yamam counterterror unit who was killed during an operation in the Jenin area last week.

During the visit, Raz’s eldest son excoriated the prime minister, saying he holds him personally responsible for his father’s death.

“I don’t know how you can look at yourself in the mirror. I blame you, just as I blame the terrorist.”

“You blew your chance. We want to see someone whom we believe in. You don’t deserve to be in the house my father lived in. I hope that you are actually listening and not just nodding.”

“Don’t make us all kinds of promises. From experience we know that nothing will be kept. Stop abandoning our soldiers and police officers. You’ve emasculated them. Officers are being stoned and can’t shoot.”

Raz’s widow, Efrat Raz, demanded to know what steps Bennett has taken to stop the ongoing terror wave.

“Be committed to the truth, look at yourself honestly. Your intentions are good, but your actions are not. You still have time to change, so long as you are in this position. But when you are not loyal to the cause that you were elected to serve, you won’t stay [in power]. We’ve had it with being humiliated, give your people power.”

Noam’s sister told Bennett that she had hoped he would not visit.

“Every day we lack Jewish pride. I can’t travel and wave the Israeli flag. I’m afraid to travel and to come back home, but I do it. There’s no Jewish pride here, but there used to be a prime minister with pride.”

Raz, a paramedic and sniper, was shot and seriously wounded during a firefight with terrorists Friday, and succumbed to his wounds after being airlifted to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.

His is survived by his wife and six children.

During his visit, protesters gathered in Kida to denounce Bennett and his handling of the ongoing terror wave.

Ariel Kaplan 32 Found Murdered After Missing for 9 Months

 

A Toronto Jewish man has been confirmed dead after he went missing 9 months ago.

32-year-old Ariel Kaplan went missing in August of 2021, three months after he was charged with his alleged involvement in the theft of a tractor-trailer that was carrying nearly $250,000 worth of merchandise, including thousands of bottles of juice and more than 100 washing machines.

On May 10, 2022, police were called after human remains were found in Uxbridge, a township in Ontario, Canada.

On Tuesday, Ontario Forensic Pathology Services confirmed the remains belonged to Kaplan.

“An extensive ground and water search was conducted by members of our Public Safety Unit as well as the York Regional Police dive team. The investigation is ongoing.” the agency said in a news release.

According to Det. Sgt. Doris Carriere, police believe Kaplan was murdered and his body disposed of in the fall of 2021. Witnesses in the area reported seeing the bag as far back as November 2021, Carriere said.

Kaplan had lived in an apartment in Richmond Hill, according to police.

Disaster Waiting to Happen as Safety Advisor For Meron Resigns: “The Infrastructure Is Unsound”

 

Kfir Malka, who served as the safety advisor for the Meron project headed by project manager Tzviki Tessler, announced his resignation three weeks ago.

According to a Haaretz report on Tuesday morning, Malka resigned after his warnings that the infrastructure on Har Meron and at the tzion itself is unsound and is not safe for the number of people expected on Lag B’Omer.

According to sources in the police and government ministries, Malka also warned that the “decision-making regarding the site on Lag B’Omer is tainted by personal interests and political considerations.”

In response to the report, Avi Blumenthal, the director of the Rashbi celebration information headquarters, said: “Malka is a personal consultant to the project manager and is employed as needed on an hourly basis. He expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the infrastructure on the mountain as it was about two months ago, but since then significant infrastructure work has been carried out. He did not make any statements to the project manager regarding the number of participants, and in any case, all his comments and recommendations were implemented at the site.”

According to the Haaretz report, senior police officials warned that despite the limitation on the number of participants, tens and even hundreds of thousands of people could reach Har Meron by entering from side entrances or presenting forged tickets. In addition, there is no guarantee that participants will comply with the regulations to stay at the site for only four hours.

UTJ MK Meir Porush is also dissatisfied with the state of affairs at Meron and sent a letter of complaint to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday night.

“Those in charge of Meron on Lag B’Omer ignored the public’s requests and needs as well as the interim conclusions of the commission of inquiry set up for that purpose,” Porush wrote. “There’s a feeling that there’s no one who’s willing to take responsibility for the event.”

“During the ten months that the public expected that the infrastructure would be improved, nothing was done. Work only began in the last three months, during which dozens of buildings were demolished, access roads were blocked, and stairs and passage openings were fenced off. They didn’t provide any real solution or expansion of the area or build new access roads. They didn’t even expand one passageway.”

“Throughout the year we hoped that following such a terrible disaster, preparations would take place all year in preparing the area for the safety of the public. Unfortunately, as every year, nothing was done until the last minute.
