GOP-Led Senate Intel Committee Issues Unanimous New Report Destroying Trump’s Claims: Russia Interfered To Help Trump

  By David Badash Raw Story (4/21/20) The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday quietly released a new report supporting the Intelligence Community’s position and report that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election to help Donald Trump win the White House. The committee is led by Republicans, including Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC). The report, its fourth, was bipartisan and unanimous. The Committee reports that the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment delivered “a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented Russian interference,” and “reflects strong tradecraft.” President Donald Trump has repeatedly lied to the American people about what he falsely…

Russia Monitor: The Entire Nation Is ‘Blinking Red’ Due To Trump’s Callous Ineptitude

“Trump knew and did nothing: “Donald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were — they just couldn’t get him to do anything about it. The system was blinking red.”” — US official as reported by Washington Post (3/20/20) ***** “It’s the second goal that could succeed. By revving up hate among their supporters against China, Trump and Fox can redirect those supporters’ rage from the dangerous target it might otherwise find: the trusted political and media figures who lied and lied and lied to them, exposing those supporters to disease…


Russia Monitor — Trumps Owns The Pandemic: “He alone” Brought Us To This Crisis.

Trump lies. Trump’s COVID-19 lies put people at risk. Let’s start with this moment of nonsensical Trump bombast: “I’ve felt it was a pandemic before it was called a pandemic. All you had to do was look at other countries…I have always viewed it as very serious.” — Bill Kristol tweet quoting Trump. By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (3/19/20) Dear Fellow Readers, We open with a nonsensical quote; and will close with a second quote for a fuller picture of the psychosis of Donald J. Trump.

Russia Monitor: The COVID-19 Presidential Meltdown Puts America At Risk

“I think we’ll look back on this as a defining moment of the Trump presidency because it speaks to larger concerns that people already had about Trump — that he can’t tell the truth, that he doesn’t value expertise, that he doesn’t take the presidency seriously enough.” — Obama White House aide Ben Rhodes interviewed by Washington Post (3/12/20) ***** “No, I don’t take responsibility at all.” — Trump at his Friday presser (3/13/20)  By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (3/16/20) Dear Fellow Readers, A few remarks about what seems most current and most important.

Russia Monitor: The Viral Contagion Of Vile Trumpian ‘Leadership’

“I don’t think we can ignore how disastrous their performance has been. In many ways this was the moment we feared: a true security threat to the nation and a president who can’t tell the truth, who can’t organize a consistent response and doesn’t have enough experienced people on the job.” — Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) ***** “No, I think the U.S. has done a very good job on testing.” “But be calm.  It’s really working out.  And a lot of good things are going to happen.” — David Gura tweet regarding Trump, following meeting with GOP Senators (3/10/20) By…


Russia Monitor: We’re All Stranded Aboard The Princess Trump

  By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (3/9/20) Dear Fellow Readers, Truthfulness and real coronavirus information saves lives. Lies and downplaying risk puts lives at risk. Between talking to people and paying attention to social media (Twitter mostly, much more focus on coronavirus) I see a concerning amount of opinions that discount the risk. To greatly oversimplify, one part of downplaying risk is a view that the news is a hoax; I wonder where anyone might have heard that? A second part of downplaying coronavirus risk is a view that Trump is right to downplay risk though you’ll have to…

  “The Democrats are politicising the coronavirus,” Trump said. “They’re politicising it. One of my people came up to me and said: ‘Mr President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That did not work out too well. They could not do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. “This is their new hoax.” — Trump at South Carolina rally (2/28/20). ***** “How could anyone refer to this as a ‘hoax’?! I never referred to [the coronavirus] as a ‘hoax’.” — Trump during  press conference (2/29/20). ***** “We’re ordering a lot of supplies. We’re ordering a lot of, uh,…

So says Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor; so says retired Admiral William H. McRaven; so says U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson. The big news for a few hours was a court admission by lawyers for WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange, currently fighting a US extradition order to face charges in the US. In a London courtroom Assange’s lawyers asserted that in 2017 he had been offered a pardon by Trump if he would absolve Russia of the…

Russia Monitor: Pardon Me, Please, Master!

  By Dan Peak Commoner Call (2/20/20) Dear Fellow Readers, The question I raised in the last edition of The Russia Monitor was whether the media representation of a Department of Justice (DOJ) rift between Trump and his personal lawyer and attorney general William Barr was real or Kabuki Theater. What has been made more clear, Trump sees himself as dictator of conduct and outcome for DOJ for his administration and personal interest. Barr is not unimportant but, like any Trump associate or sychophant, it’s a one-way relationship – Trump doesn’t do advisers, just placeholders for the day he’ll need…


Russia Monitor: Kabuki Theater At Trump’s DOI — Dept. Of Injustice

Is Trump personal lawyer and attorney general Barr’s assertion of Department of Justice independence just Trump-Barr Kabuki Theater? By Dan Peak Commoner Call (2/18/20) Dear Fellow Readers, Consider the White House – there is no such thing as honoring the norms of governance. There is no such thing as obeying the law. Consider the Senate – we have learned the Party of Trump will not stand against Trump. What about the Department of Justice? We very well may have lost the Department of Justice, Trump’s personal lawyer and attorney general Bill Barr has repeatedly demonstrated he’ll aid and abet Trump’s…

Russia Monitor: A Dark Week Of Elected Cowards & Public Service Heroes

  By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (2/10/20) Dear Fellow Readers, Trump was Impeached by the US House, but acquitted by the US Senate. Acquitted for a crime that even he admits he committed – use of US foreign policy to extort a foreign government to personally benefit his reelection campaign. Trump’s disregard for law and norms is a perfect example of the kind of high crimes and misdemeanors envisioned by the framers of our Constitution, with Impeachment by Congress as the remedy. Though the framers did not provide added safeguards should a complicit Party of Trump Senate or even…

I’ll come back to this in a minute. On Wednesday the Senate will vote to acquit Trump. The critical vote over whether witnesses would be allowed failed by a 51-49 vote. Don’t be fooled, the vote was not that close. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) were the two Republicans who voted in favor of witnesses but…

By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (1/30/20) Dear Fellow Readers, Donald’s Trump’s impeachment trial seems to now turn on whether witnesses will be called to testify, primarily former Trump national security adviser John Bolton. Trump and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell want a speedy vote against the charges, they do not want witnesses, and they most specifically do not want Bolton as a witness.

By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (1/27/20) Dear Fellow Readers, As expected, some of the more interesting Impeachment developments happened outside the confines of the Senate process. The biggest news dismantles yet another Trump lie and sets the starting date for the eventual removal of US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch at April 30, 2018. It turns out Trump does know his lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s indicted associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, as confirmed by this 2018 Fruman-recorded dinner conversation at…

By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (1/23/20) Dear Fellow Readers, We are right in the thick of it, Impeachment of Trump. I will offer a few quick observations. Kudos – the Dems are punching above their weight, working with a weak hand against the controlling heavy hand of Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump and doing well.

We are told that Rudy is not being paid by Trump. To date we only know that Giuliani has received $500,000 from indicted associate Lev Parnas, who has been paid $1 million by indicted Russian billionaire oligarch Dymtro Firtash who is linked to Russian mafia in addition to being at the center of all things Trump-Ukraine conspiracy theories.

“The guy is freaking evil.” — Special Operator Miller describing Trump’s ‘election hero’ Navy SEAL Chief Edward Gallagher. By Dan Peak The Commoner Call (12/30/19) Dear Fellow Readers, 2019. This was the year: On January 25, 2019 special counsel Robert Mueller announced criminal charges against long-time Trump associate Roger Stone. On March 22 Mueller delivered his 448-page report to Attorney General William Barr. Ignoring Mueller’s own summaries of his report, Barr issues his own 4-page summary, which we will eventually learn is intentionally misleading, erasing any consideration of whether Barr is biased in support of Trump – he is.

There are a few follow-on angles that highlight the significance of this event. Chief Petty Officer and Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher was charged with more than a dozen criminal acts and convicted of one by a military court.
