Roseanne Just Called To Thank Trump And Liberals Are FURIOUS

In a phone call with Trump, Barr thanked the president on behalf of her mother.

"I said, 'Mr. President, on behalf of my mother, I want to thank you … for moving

the embassy to Jerusalem.

Thank you so much,'" Barr said at the Jerusalem Post's annual conference in New

York.

"And he said, 'Well, you know a lot of presidents have promised it, but I wanted

to get it done.'"

"I think it's the first step to peace in the world, I really do," added Barr.

The relocated embassy will be inaugurated next month in the presence of a U.S. delegation

comprising some 250 administration officials and Jewish leaders.

Barr said she wanted to move to Israel, adding that she would love to run for prime minister.

b"I want to move to Israel and run for prime minister," she said.

"I do have that fantasy.

If God calls me, I'll go."

Later, she backtracked on her remarks about a future in politics.

Still, she said, she dreamed of "making aliya," or immigrating to the Jewish state.

"I'm 65 years old and I'm running out of time to do what I always dreamed of doing

[which] was to be living there and be able to study the things that excite me," she

said.

"I still have the fantasy of being an old Jewish lady living in the Jewish homeland,

so someday I will do it."

Trump had initiated the phone call with Barr to congratulate her on the smash-hit revival

of her 1980s sitcom Roseanne, in which Barr's character is an ardent

Trump supporter.

The DCNF Files Lawsuit To Disclose Comey And Obama Meetings - Duration: 14:23.

The DCNF Files Lawsuit To Disclose Comey And Obama

Meetings

The Daily Caller News Foundation and the watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit in federal

court Wednesday seeking records to determine the actual number of times and reasons former

FBI Director James Comey met with then-President Barack Obama.

The request by the two organizations was filed because the former FBI director claimed he

rarely met with Obama, and he was an independent and nonpartisan leader of the nation's top

law enforcement agency.

The parties filed the lawsuit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of

Columbia.

Comey's impartiality about his relationship with Obama was sharply called into question

by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary when its chairman, Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley,

uncovered a private, undisclosed meeting Comey held with Obama on Jan. 5, 2017, two weeks

before Trump's inauguration.

TheDCNF requested, "records that identify and describe all meetings between former FBI

Director James Comey and President Barack Obama," in its Freedom of Information Act

request before the FBI, which it filed Feb. 19.

On May 22, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch sought records for a broader

set of Comey meetings including Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and top political figures.

Its request included records "written or ordered written by FBI Director James Comey

summarizing his conversations with any of the following individuals: Barack Obama, Joe

Biden, Hillary Clinton, Senator Chuck Schumer, Representative Nancy Pelosi, and Senator John

McCain."

Their timeframe for its request was between Sept. 4, 2013 and May 9, 2017.

Comey has carefully parsed his words about his interactions with Obama.

In his June 8, 2017, testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence he

suggested his firsthand meetings with the Democratic president were rare.

He claimed he only spoke with Obama twice, once in 2015 and another "to say goodbye

in late 2016," according the former FBI director's testimony.

"As FBI director, I interacted with President Obama.

I spoke only twice in three years," he said.

"I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) – once

in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him

to say goodbye in late 2016," Comey's opening statement to the Senate Intelligence

Committee read.

Grassley along with South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is a Judiciary subcommittee

chairman, discovered through the National Archives that Obama met with Comey on Jan.

5, 2017, two weeks before Trump's inauguration.

Susan Rice, Obama's national security adviser, recorded the meeting in an email around 12

p.m on Inauguration Day.

She addressed the email to herself.

"President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Comey and Deputy Attorney

General Sally Yates in the Oval Office," Rice stated.

In a Feb. 8, 2017, letter to Rice, Grassley and Graham wrote, "It strikes us as odd

that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration,

you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a

conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the

Trump/Russia investigation."

Biden and Yates joined Rice and Obama in the meeting.

By failing to inform the Congress about the Jan. 5 meeting, Comey may have deliberately

misled Congress about his interactions with the former president.

Comey has carefully groomed his image as a nonpolitical arbiter, but his reputation for

fairness came under heated attack during the 2016 presidential election when he recommended

no charges against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server

for official government business, in a July 5, 2016, press conference.

Comey called it "extremely careless" but not a crime.

He later infuriated Democrats when he reopened the investigation 11 days before the election.

Comey also wrote the public statement exonerating Clinton in May 2016, well before the FBI ended

its investigation, causing an uproar in Congress.

FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who edited the early drafts of Comey's July speech, replaced

the original phrase "grossly negligent" — a term that has criminal implications

— with the phrase "extremely careless," which is not a violation of law.

Strzok later joined special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference

in the 2016 presidential election.

Mueller removed from him from the team after uncovering texts that showed he and FBI attorney

Lisa Page carried on an extramarital affair, held viciously anti-Trump attitudes and favored

Clinton.

Moreover, Comey permitted Cheryl Mills, a long-time Clinton confidant who herself was

a witness or subject of the FBI email investigation, to sit in on the FBI's formal interview

of the presidential candidate.

Comey also agreed with Strzok's recommendation not to charge Mills and Clinton aide Huma

Abedin with providing false statements under oath to FBI agents.

The two claimed they did not know Clinton was using a private server while she was secretary

of state but emails later showed they were aware of Clinton's arrangement.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein recommended Trump fire Comey for usurping the role normally

left to prosecutors at the Department of Justice, in a July 5 press conference.

He accused Comey of attempting to "usurp the attorney general's authority" by publicly

announcing why the FBI's case should be closed.

"Compounding the error, the director ignored another longstanding principle: We do not

hold press conferences to release derogatory information about the subject of a declined

criminal investigation," Rosenstein argued in his memo.

"We should reject the departure and return to the traditions (of the bureau)," Rosenstein

wrote.

"The way the director handled the conclusion of the email investigation was wrong.

As a result, the FBI is unlikely to regain public and congressional trust until it has

a director who understands the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them."

"It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and

confidence in its vital law enforcement mission," Trump told Comey in a letter firing him.

The FBI has not produced any records of Comey's meetings, well beyond the 20-day deadline

for FOIA responses.

Both groups are asking the court to produce the records by a certain date and enjoin the

FBI from "continuing to withhold any and all non-exempt records responsive to Plaintiffs'

FOIA requests."

In filing the lawsuit, Neil Patel, TheDCNF co-founder and president said, "The growing

evidence of a 'protect our own' mindset at DOJ is beyond troubling.

That's not how America is supposed to work.

The information we have requested is fully in line with the terms of the freedom of information

statute, and we are thankful that Judicial Watch is helping us force the release of these

basic facts."

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said, "Judicial Watch and The Daily Caller News

Foundation are being stonewalled on key documents that could break open this scandal, which

is why we are now in federal court to try to get the truth and accountability."

Trey Gowdy Comey's Definition Of A Leak Is 'What The Rest Of Us Call A Felony' - Duration: 14:23.

Trey Gowdy: Comey's Definition Of A Leak Is 'What The Rest Of Us Call A Felony'

Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy says former FBI Director James Comey is distorting the definition

of an information "leak" to suit his own purposes.

The South Carolina congressman told Fox News' Tucker Carlson Thursday night that Comey was

twisting the facts in an interview with Fox's Bret Baier earlier that evening.

Comey was trying to convince Baier that he had not really "leaked" his memos of meetings

with President Donald Trump to the media but had simply shared personal correspondence

that could be seen as no different than a private "diary."

That didn't wash with Gowdy, who told Carlson that Comey "has a definition of the word

leak that no one else has."

"What he says is a leak is what the rest of us call a felony," Gowdy insisted.

"Leaking is disclosing a confidential conversation, which is exactly what he did."

Comey claimed Wednesday on CNN that he did not leak memos, but that he "asked a friend

to communicate the substance … one unclassified memo to the media."

CNN host Anderson Cooper pressed him.

"I think of a leak as an unauthorized disclosure of classified information," Comey said.

"That's it?"

Cooper replied.

The DOJ inspector general is examining whether Comey violated any laws or regulations governing

the release of classified information to the media

or public.

Hannity Pulls Skeletons Out Of Mueller's Closet… "He's No Angel" - Duration: 3:11.

Hannity Pulls Skeletons Out Of Mueller's Closet…

"He's No Angel"

Fox News' Sean Hannity has been one of the few in the mainstream media who hasn't bowed

to the deep state and has continued to fight for and defend President Trump from countless

frivolous attacks.

What he just dug up about special counsel Robert Mueller could absolutely flip this

entire investigation on end — at least we hope it does.

This guy isn't the angel the media wants you to think he is…

Daily Caller reports:

Fox News host Sean Hannity devoted time on his Tuesday show to examining the past of

special counsel Robert Mueller and his findings were intriguing.

Hannity referred to a report from Fox News' Sarah Carter citing Mueller's career as

a prosecutor in the 1980s.

When Mueller was serving as assistant U.S. attorney, four men were wrongfully convicted

and imprisoned for a crime they did not commit and the special counsel was in charge of the

case when it happened.

"Robert Mueller's career has been anything but impeccable," Hannity said.

"One of the worst stains on his record comes from his time Boston, where he served as assistant

U.S. attorney and acting U.S. attorney in the '80s.

During this time notorious Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger, he was actively engaged by

the FBI as an informant.

The relationship between Bulger and the bureau was wrought with nothing but corruption and

criminal collusion."Bulger's FBI handler, guy by the name of John Connolly covered up

for many of the horrific crimes that were committed by Bulger and his associates, including

one instance where four men were wrongfully framed and convicted and imprisoned for decades

— all for a murder it turns out they did not commit," Hannity continued.

"The men were ultimately exonerated.

A judge awarded $101 million in damages, but not before two of the men actually died in

prison.

Robert Mueller was the U.S. attorney in charge while these men were rotting in prison while

certain agents in the FBI under Mueller covered up the truth."

Hannity said it's vital the country find out what Mueller knew and when he knew it

and believes the media and Congress are propping him up as a hero to support a political agenda.

"When did [Robert Mueller] know about all of this this?

These are questions I'm sure you have not heard from your friends in the liberal media.

Some members of Congress, the media, they're praising Mueller.

The pillar of honesty.

The pillar of virtue," Hannity said.

"They've never investigated him.

They're actually just lying.

It's their talking point.

All the information we're telling you about is right there, right in front of the liberal

mainstream media in their faces.

They purposely ignore it because their destroy Trump agenda — that goes above all else."

"Robert Mueller has an agenda.

He's carrying out a witch hunt.

This is par for the course," Hannity concluded.
