FBI wants to prevent financial warfare and a disinformation campaign that could trigger a market collapse to influence voters
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is expanding efforts to counter foreign election meddling by targeting China, a state engaged in aggressive operations aimed at blocking President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election.
“Make no mistake, China is aggressively pursuing foreign influence operations,” said Nikki Floris, deputy assistant director for the FBI’s counter-intelligence section.
“They use economic levers, [and] their end goal is really to unseat us as a global economic superpower.”

WNU Editor: I have always said that when it comes to election interference, China is the 800lb gorilla in the room. Russia may have spent a few thousand dollars on Facebook ads to create a social media disinformation campaign and/or post embarrassing and revealing emails on Democrat corruption in their primary process in 2016. But China .... they play with billions and they have massive resources when it comes to influencing foreign elections, a fact that Australia recently learned from their election earlier this year .... Australian intelligence reportedly concluded that China was responsible for a major hack on Australia's parliament in the lead up to its most recent elections (Business Insider).

This is a bad story. It might dilute the Democrat narrative of Russian collusion.

Tim Morrison, a National Security Council official who has been identified as a witness to one of the most explosive pieces of evidence unearthed by House impeachment investigators, plans to testify Thursday even if the White House attempts to block him.
“If subpoenaed, Mr. Morrison plans to appear for his deposition,” his attorney, Barbara Van Gelder, said.
A slew of high-profile witnesses have defied White House, State Department and Pentagon orders not to cooperate with the impeachment probe. In each case, lawmakers have issued a subpoena, which the officials have relied on to justify testifying over the administration’s objections.
Morrison, however, would be the first currently serving White House official to testify. He’s also the first official believed to be on a July 25 phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during which Trump pressed his counterpart to investigate former vice president Joe Biden.
Morrison was also a crucial figure identified Tuesday by Trump’s ambassador to Ukraine, William Taylor, as a witness to Trump’s effort to withhold military aid from Ukraine in order to bend Zelensky to his will.
"In a July 25 call, Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for “a favor” to look into the server as well as the California-based cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which was hired by the DNC in 2016 to investigate hacking of Democratic emails that it later determined
was done by Russia."

Take the Barneys of the world. All they know how to do with their computer is to download free porn. Is it really free if viruses, trojans or other malware are embedded in the .jpg
file?
Now it has been reported that the download speeds of the 'stolen' files form the DNC server were to fast to be done over the inter net but are consistent with a thumb drive or similar device.
So these pricks, who only know how to download porn, want us to believe that the Russians did it when it was an inside job.
Besides the download speed issue, the pricks wants us to believe nothing is wrong, when Crowd strike and the DNC refuses to let the FBI forensically investigate.
Trump has a moral duty to investigate. Impeaching Trump is disenfranchising me as a voter based on a conspiracy that the Democrats hatched.
7 out of 10 people are right. It is about time.
Liars, fact free, technically incompetent, illiterate, ruthless, thieving people aka Democrats should not be allowed to make 1st contact. They should be in the dustbin.

Republicans are flailing to defend President Trump from the impeachment inquiry, right as some key members of the Senate shift from implicitly defending Trump to acknowledging recent testimony has been damaging to his case. This suggests conviction of Trump in the Republican-controlled Senate, should the House impeach him, isn’t a door that’s entirely slammed shut.
Defending Trump has been a struggle since the whistleblower complaint and rough transcript of the Ukraine phone call came out a month ago. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) went on “60 Minutes” and tried to refute the language Trump used when he responded to Ukraine’s president inquiring about more aid. He incorrectly accused his interviewer of distorting Trump's now-famous line: “I would like you to do us a favor, though” to try to make it sound worse for Trump. CBS's Scott Pelley was quoting Trump accurately.
Now, as the impeachment inquiry presents stronger evidence Trump was holding up military aid for his personal gain, his congressional defenders are pulling even more Trumpian tactics. Most of them collapse under the weight of the facts. Some are so obviously political stunts that there’s no other way to describe them.
Wow, Fred has been going all out the last few days.
I wonder if he will make the ultimate sacrifice and quit downloading porn for a day or two?
Place your bets.
A Majority of Independents Believe Trump Should Be Impeached: An NBC News/SurveyMonkey survey released Friday showed that 53 percent of independent voters supported impeaching Trump while 44 percent said he shouldn't be impeached.

--Former Federal Prosecutor Reveals Telltale Sign Rudy Giuliani Is In Major Trouble
huffpost.com/entry/...
Albuquerque has joined a lengthy list of U.S. cities with a simple request: that President Trump’s campaign pay for the costs incurred during a rally. On Wednesday, the Albuquerque Journal reported that the city sent an invoice to Trump’s reelection campaign in an effort to recoup more than $211,000 in expenses from a September rally. That figure includes more than $71,000 in police overtime.
The Trump campaign’s indifference to municipal bills became a significant issue earlier this month when the city of Minneapolis attempted to get paid in advance for a rally Trump was planning to hold in the city. The president and his campaign publicly berated Minneapolis’s mayor. But even then it was easy to see why a city would want Trump’s team to pay in advance.
As the Minneapolis rally loomed, CNN went back to a number of cities that had been identified in June by the Center for Public Integrity as places with outstanding bills in to the Trump campaign. CNN found that there was at least $841,000 still outstanding. The total, though, is more than that: Dave Levinthal, who reported the initial tallies for the Center for Public Integrity, confirmed in an email to The Washington Post on Thursday that he had checked back with all the cities he had identified in July and that none had been paid as of his most recent outreach.
Adding in the bill from Albuquerque, that brings the total outstanding bill to more than $1 million — $1,052,395.78, to be precise. El Paso, which hasn’t been paid for costs from a February rally, added a late fee of about $99,000 earlier this year, bringing the total to $1,151,183.36. Add in the $530,000 that Minneapolis was originally seeking and the total nears $1.7 million.
Republicans in Congress struggled for a second consecutive day Thursday to defend President Trump against Democrats’ impeachment inquiry amid a steady stream of damaging revelations about his conduct, leveling another symbolic objection to a process they said was fundamentally unfair.
One day after House lawmakers tried to block an impeachment witness by sowing chaos with a protest in the Capitol’s secure meeting rooms, Senate Republicans joined the fray by offering a resolution condemning the House investigation and demanding that Democrats hold a formal vote authorizing the inquiry.
But the move left the president’s allies in the same awkward place they have been for more than two weeks: unable or unwilling to mount a vigorous defense on the substance of the allegations and focused instead on trying to shake the public’s faith in the House’s impeachment process.

Ukrainian prosecutor is investigating a corruption at a large corporation.
Joe Biden wanted to put a stop to it to protect cocaine cowboy Hunter, his son.
"I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."

Everything other than this is noise and boy is Fred R. Lapides making noise.
PS: Someone explain to me the term "former retired"? Isn't the term "professor emeritus"?
Or did something happen?
"O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)."
That is why liberals like radical Muslims.

PhD did in fact use the phrase "former retired". You can find it on the internet. with a 1 minutes search. The term usually used is "professor emeritus". You would think a person who was a long serving prof and a department chair to boot would be referred to as "professor emeritus".
So what happened?
