Officials say Judge Christopher Cooper's ties to leading Democrats and key figure in discredited Trump-Russia probe should disqualify him from case of Michael Sussmann, lawyer who fed anti-Trump dirt to FBI while hiding connection to Hillary Clinton campaign.
Last week, the special counsel appointed to oversee the probe into the FBI's investigation of former president Donald Trump indicted Michael Sussmann, a lawyer for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Republicans and Trump allies are optimistic about the latest development in John Durham's investigation but are still concerned that Attorney General Merrick Garland might halt the investigation to protect allies and even the president himself.
FBI notes appear to suggest that as vice president, Joe Biden played a role in the Democratic Party project to smear Trump as a Russian asset by raising the obscure, disused, 18th century statute the Logan Act as a possible vehicle for prosecuting Michael Flynn for speaking with the Russian ambassador to Washington — even after FBI case agents had cleared Trump's incoming national security adviser of wrongdoing.
And now Republicans are raising concerns that the judge appointed to the Sussmann case has too many conflicts of interest to preside over it fairly.
Current and former officials say that federal District Court Judge Christopher Cooper's professional and personal relationships with top Democrats and figures behind the FBI's Trump investigation should force his recusal. Cooper's wife, for instance, represents disgraced FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who oversaw the FBI's Trump probe.
In September 2016, Sussman met with Page's boss, then FBI General Counsel James Baker. The former DOJ cybersecurity expert handed Baker documents falsely asserting that the Trump Organization's computer servers were communicating suspiciously with the computer servers of a Russian financial institution.
The purpose of the documents Sussmann passed to the FBI was to further the Clinton campaign's false narrative holding that Trump had been compromised by Russian officials. Former CIA director John Brennan reported to President Obama that Clinton herself approved the scheme in order to deflect attention away from her use of a private email server.
Sussmann billed the Clinton campaign for his meeting with Baker but told the FBI's top lawyer he was not acting on behalf of any client. The indictment handed down last week by Special Counsel John Durham charged Sussman with one count of lying to the FBI.
Last Friday, Sussmann pled not guilty, and on Wednesday he is scheduled to appear before Cooper.
Appointed to the bench by Obama in 2013, Cooper is well-connected in Democratic party legal circles. Garland officiated his 1999 wedding to Amy Jeffress.
Both Cooper and Jeffress worked at DOJ in the Obama administration. He was part of the 2008 presidential transition team, and she was the national security counselor for Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder.
Recently Jeffress wrote approvingly of Attorney General Garland's focus on "domestic terrorism." Many Republicans see the phrase as coded language for targeting Trump supporters.
Her most famous client, former FBI lawyer Page, discussed via text message with her paramour, FBI agent Peter Strzok, how they'd stop Trump from becoming president. Page and Strzok were part of the FBI team that spied on the 2016 Trump campaign.
As evidence to obtain the spy warrant, the FBI used a dossier of memos falsely alleging Trump ties to Russia that was paid for by the Clinton campaign. Sussman and Page then participated in the same Clinton-funded initiative to smear her 2016 opponent and use false evidence to spy on his campaign.
Former U.S. officials say that putting Sussmann in front of Jeffress' husband represents a clear conflict of interest.
"This is a wildly unique situation," says Kash Patel, who ran the House Intelligence Committee's investigation of possible crimes and abuses committed during the FBI's Trump-Russia probe.
"Usually it's defense lawyers who put in for recusal," says Patel. "But in this case, it should be the Justice Department's special counsel, Durham. The judge's wife happens to be the lawyer for a possible a coconspirator.”
Patel, a former federal prosecutor, predicts that in this instance it's the defense lawyers who will be fighting recusal. "Sussman is indicted for not telling the FBI's general counsel he was working on behalf of the Clinton campaign, he says. "And that same general counsel, Baker, supervised Lisa Page, who is represented by the judge's wife.”
Nevertheless, says Fitton, "obviously we want justice to be administered fairly, but it must also appear to be administered fairly. This is an unusual fact pattern that requires Judge Cooper to seriously and carefully analyze whether he should recuse himself."
Patel believes he should.
"What if the judge for Paul Manafort's case had been married to the lawyer that represented Roger Stone, and William Barr had officiated their wedding?" he asks. "Would the media think that's ok? This is why America hates D.C. — one set of rules for those you rule over, but a different set for those that rule."
Page's Twitter profile shows a picture of her and Jeffress.
"The presumption is that a spouse's independent professional activities don't necessarily require a judge to recuse unless a spouse has a substantial interest in the outcome of the proceeding," says Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch. "Washington, D.C. is a small town, and the resulting interlocking relationships result in all sorts of apparent conflicts of interest in the justice system here."
She is great on the vaccines and kids, and our media. She says what so many now know and say.
Therefore, I don't need to listen TO ANYONE STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN, and then need to medicate themselves as the 'all knowing'.
I could not believe I just heard her say this. on Bannon this Saturday morning, top of the second hour.
Hey Steve...no more Naomi. She is NOT smart enough. All of this she knows, all the history she shares, and SHE JUST SAID SHE VOTED FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION!
NO MORE NAOMI! AS A FORMER DEMOCRAT OPERATIVE TURNED WHISTLEBLOWER, WE ARE WAY AHEAD OF HER.
Hindsight is bullshit. Naomi voted for PEDO JOE! OH COME ON!
Every time I see her I will turn War Room off and use a different promo code for MyPillow.
EDIT TO ADD: Steve Bannon has also spent a week saying that anyone who voted for Joe has blood on their hands. He said nothing when she said it,,,I could see he was ignoring it, hoping it would not get picked up. As he's in the money, he cannot have her on again. Naomi exposed herself as not so much an expert at all, even after working on the inside. AFTER EVERYTHING, she voted for Joe! She does have blood on her hands as Bannon states. So now let's have a "Naomi watch"... see what he does. Bannon is number one...so...who's water is he carrying? Stupid Joe voters? So many at odds with family, she didn't want to say how her conversation went with a family member, a doctor. Not willing? No more time for Naomi.
Just cuz she worked for Bill, she was fun. But now we know just how tight her stripes are wrapped!
Chrome...(last try) Firefox and Brave....
This is on purpose. I watched his TV all the way up to this symposium.
'party foul'.....
Good to know it's on Rumble
Just look at the story of Kimberly Lindsay, one of our top CDC biologists.
She was arrested for pedophilia and bestiality with her boyfriend, using his six year old son. She was teaching him how to have sex with her and with the family dog, while her boyfriend, a guard at the CDC was a willing participant.
She was acquitted after five years and even had her 'backpay' reinstated because she said she couldn't earn any money working with the arrest hanging over her head.
She is of course 'compromised' and back at the CDC right where they need her.
I keep posting this case and I see links now scrubbed over the years. But CNN even has this one.

Then she was acquitted....and brought back to work!

This story is similar to the astronaut, a jilted lover who drove across the country to catch up with her ex's new lover in the Orlando Airport and stab her to death. She timed her drive to the other's departure time and knew she would make it just in time, if she never stopped the car. She's good a math! This female astronaut wore a diaper on her drive so she would not have to stop the car. She arrived just in time to catch her ex's new love in the parking garage of the Orlando Intl Airport.
She was arrested for assault and attempted murder.
She is back at NASA! NASA made her 'head of the curriculum. So, they have her right where they need her, compromised, or she will not be able to work either. (See Kimberly Lindsay complaint)
Another similar sick story fairly recent I wanted to share, again. These powerful agencies do know how to pick their staff when they have big brains. I spoke to a retired FBI agent whose job was to 'vet appointments'. Judges, etc. DUI"s were not enough he said...they needed more. Every time he found a buried or expunged pedophile charge, they were hired. He was told it was because they could control these usually married, working men and women.
Astronaut Lisa Nowak arrested for attempted murder: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7226705
How much time did Lisa Nowak get? Nowak pleaded guilty to felony burglary and misdemeanor battery in 2009, and her plea deal meant she was sentenced to two days in jail (which was waved due to time already served), a year of probation, and 50 hours of community service. Nowak's detail with NASA was terminated a month after her arrest. (She was brought back and made head of the curriculum)
Boy they really took care of those two, didn't they?
You see this over and over...and now our so called best agencies are engaging in a campaign of terrible mixed messaging. It's as bad as a student council campaign in the fifth grade, our CDC and this 'pandemic'.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbrWcvXceGU
I'd like to see Trump add this music to his rallies....it's a sign of the times for sure.
"Glad you were able to go to an historic event. remember Trump started warp speed. estimates now that 50000 dead in US from the jab. he's the joker in the masonic deck. I used to believe, but I don't anymore, at least about him, oh they may let him back in as the " savior", only to bring in the full monty. I have to concentrate on the Biblical aspect of all this now. it is better to trust in Yahwah than in man.
love you so."
A vaccination event! Offering the jab to all, including the players.
She stepped out of the plane...into the wind, in sunny Florida...WEARING A FUCKING MASK!
WHY? She took the jab too! So why the mask..and why OUTSIDE IN THE SUN STANDING ALONE?????
That is why their campaign for 'health' with mixed messaging is a failure. Nothing changes no matter what people do...just keep wearing a mask.
Florida is over the mask....her advisors do not know about where she is going.
She looked like a total azz!
That's all...and probably more.
Are you kidding me? I would like Comey to pay the U.S. back the 48 million tax payer dollars he wasted on a fake investigation. I want him arrested for the collusion and conspiracy.
To see this on TV is just abusive. American citizens deserve and pay for better. Why the hell is Comey walking around? He's another one who 'was in custody' a while back. This is abuse, no doubt about it.
This was the BBC I saw and usually never post without sauce, but they're not worth it.
We are also hearing from Rudy's Common Sense podcast of crimes committed by others, as well. He is talking about Debbie Wasserman Schultz's activity with CHY-Na too. She ran the DNC and kisses Killery's azz.
Rudy speaks of THREE LAPTOPS but never mentions who's they are.
Here is what I am thinking.
Imran Awan had a laptop working for DWS and had 36 congressional member's routers switched out so he could spy. I believe it's to watch others who committ to the CCP club, the love of money and power and to control the operations.
Then we have the Weiner laptop. It contained Huma's laptop file "insurance" All of these laptops contain the abuse of minors we have heard with porn and pay to play. Just as the Wikileaks emails showed us as well.
So....Hunter has been running the BIden Crime Syndicate for 30 years, he is complaining. He complains because he still cannot get any respect. Bush, Clinton, Biden and Kerry are the old time leaders....as we see their children involved in earlier years and today. DWS and Imran came to be later....in life and office.
Q says we have it all.
Q says to think 'mirror'.
Is Hunter's laptop a mirror of the other laptops for control by the original powers to be and all the operations they run?
His laptop has it all? It's a mirror of all of them used?
Are there three 'physical' laptops? Or are there three on one....with the backups of the others. Hunter was running it for Daddy who serves others. Is this the 'mirror' and why 'we have it all'??
This information is available in the book TRANSformation of America by Cathy O'Brien the first documented government sex slave in our country.
She claims Senator Robert Byrd and her father would see him claiming Senator Byrd now owned her and Senator Byrd would tell him where to take for sex and coded information to pass along.
This all started because Cathy was born into an incestuous satanic based family and there were several in that area at the time. Cathy's father began using her in pornography at 4 years old and bestiality with her family dog as well.
During the Ford Administration they went in and threatened her father with arrest unless he turned Cathy over to the government for the mk-ultra program. The government knew when they found Cathy O'Brien being used she was the perfect specimen for an MK Ultra child spy. The scientist knew the personality is formed by 5 years old and it is much easier to break it before it is fully formed by four and five years old as Cathy was being used. She was already very broken and a perfect specimen - target.
In her book which was given to Congress which was a report before it became a book, she stated her father came home one day with a brand new car. Her father was a worm baiter with a sixth grade education. Two days later Gerald Ford knocked on their door in their poor neighborhood do speak to her father. She even claimed she put her hands on his crotch and Ford replied "oh no not now dear" it is all Cathy ever knew from birth.
Trained by her incestuous satanic based family she was married off to a man from the same type of family .
She states they used the Grand Ole Opry back then to move the trucks of cocaine through and she ran into Bill Clinton one night backstage .
Kathy was rescued along with her daughter and recovered later in life by Mark Phillips. He brought her back to a normal sense of humanity and eventually he married her, someone who he found so repulsive when he met her. Mark Phillips died last year.
You can read the book but I will warn you it is very graphic. Cathy said she was told to write it as she knew it the only way she could. If she knew it was to be a book it would not have been so graphic. So understand the purpose of the writing and read at your own risk. It is truly the grossest form of Human Rights abuse you will ever know.
Senator Robert Byrd was a very evil man and Gerald Ford is not really known in any of this but Cathy knew him well.
I think Donald Trump knows about Cathy O'Brien because she was used by many many of our politicians and drug pushers known as musicians.
She claims to have crossed from Miami to the Keys in Jimmy Buffett's cigarette boat to deliver a key of cocaine and she had a special small envelope just for Bill. Yes that would be Bill Clinton who ran the Mena ops with the cocaine with Barry Seal for HW Bush and our CIA.
We are coming to the end of the road with our education and I want to be sure anyone surrounding Trump understands what was first in Muskegon Michigan in the 60s!
The mafia ran a huge pornography ring there including children way back then.
Here is more on the book.
The Math Of Epidemics Willis Eschenbach / March 13, 2020
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach
Watts Up With That is about more than just the climate. It’s also about interesting things in the world. So if you’re looking for just climate, this isn’t the post for you. However, it’s an interesting peregrination through the world of the mathematics of illness.
We’ve been hearing a lot about “exponential growth” in relation to the cases, spread, and mortality of the Wuhan Virus. And to be sure, it is indeed a global health crisis, one we need to take very seriously.
The curious part is, “exponential growth” doesn’t actually describe the progress of a given disease. Exponential growth never stops—it just gets larger and larger, going up and up without end. But that’s not what happens with a disease. more here: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/03/13/the-math-of-epidemics/

‘Professor Lockdown’ Modeler Resigns in Disgrace By John Fund May 6, 2020 4:52 PM
Neil Ferguson is the British academic who created the infamous Imperial College model that warned Boris Johnson that, without an immediate lockdown, the coronavirus would cause 500,000 deaths and swamp the National Health Service.
Johnson’s government promptly abandoned its Sweden-like “social distancing” approach, and Ferguson’s model also influenced the U.S. to make lockdown moves with its shocking prediction of over two million Americans dead.
Ferguson’s hypocritical violation of his beloved lockdown was the least of his errors in judgment. His incompetence and insistence on doomsday models is far worse.
Elon Musk calls Ferguson an “utter tool” who does “absurdly fake science.” Jay Schnitzer, an expert in vascular biology and a former scientific direct of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center in San Diego, tells me: “I’m normally reluctant to say this about a scientist, but he dances on the edge of being a publicity-seeking charlatan.”
Seasonal flu vaccine effectiveness-generally about 30-40% but no one talks about OTHER items that are carried in the vaccine which may cause harm later....just a side note on yearly flu shots.
https://www.neweurope.eu/article/cdc-ends-14-day-quarantine-recommendation-or-travellers-to-us/
CDC did this due to only 3 ppl per 100,000 in intensive care from covid.
The United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has removed its recommendations for travelers to complete a self-imposed 14-day quarantine period after traveling out of state or the country.
The CDC Instead made “after-travel” recommendations based on individual countries. Its updated travel guidance, however, still says that travel and being in crowds increases the chance of contracting the coronavirus.
The guidance says that all returning travelers should social distance, wear a cloth face covering, wash their hands often and watch for symptoms.
“Don’t travel if you are sick or if you have been around someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days. Don’t travel with someone who is sick. Travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19”, the guidance concludes.
