INTERVIEW — GREGG JARRETT – author of “THE RUSSIA HOAX: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump”

Reaction to AG Barr’s hearing: Barr testifies ‘spying did occur’ on Trump campaign, amid reported review of informant’s role. Attorney General Bill Barr testified Wednesday that he believes “spying did occur” on the Trump campaign in 2016, as he vowed to review the conduct of the FBI’s original Russia probe — and the focus of a related internal review shifted to the role of a key FBI informant.

SPY GAMES: Attorney General William Barr is feeling backlash from both Democrats and the mainstream media for testifying Wednesday that federal authorities spied on the Trump campaign in 2016 … Despite mounting evidence that the FBI pursued an array of efforts to gather intelligence from within the Trump campaign — and the fact that the FBI successfully pursued warrants to surveil a former Trump aide in 2016 — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told the Associated Press, “I don’t trust Barr, I trust Mueller.” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told Fox News that Barr’s loyalties were compromised. Various members of the media accused Barr of peddling right-wing “conspiracy theories” and being part of a White House cover-up.

INTERVIEW – MD SENATOR CLARENCE LAM (D – MD 12th District) – discussed his bill to allow food stamps for participating restaurants in Maryland.

New bill would allow Maryland food stamp recipients to use them at participating restaurants. ANNAPOLIS, Md. (FOX 5 DC) – A new Maryland bill would expand the state’s food stamp program to allow recipients to use the benefits inside restaurants. The proposed bill will change the state’s food stamp program into a new food supplement benefits program. “I think this is really focused on folks who are in need and that’s why we narrowly tailor it to those who are older individuals above age 60, those individuals who have documented disabilities, and those who are homeless to be able to apply these benefits. It’s not for everyone,” said Sen. Clarence Lam (D – MD 12th District). Senate Bill 752, which introduced was introduced by Lam, has already passed the Maryland House and the Senate. The bill will implement a restaurants meals program and allow specific recipients to use their vouchers inside restaurants all around the state. Restaurants will not be forced to implement the program, rather, they’ll have to apply in order to allow these benefits to be used inside their establishments. Once they do that, qualified individuals will be able to walk into a sub shop, or any kind of permitted establishment, for food.

INTERVIEW – TOM FITTON – President, Judicial Watch – discussed Attorney General Barr’s hearing and Judicial Watch’s latest revelations about Hillary’s cover-up.

AG BARR HEARING” BARR INVESTIGATING THE INVESTIGATORS: Attorney General William Barr has assembled a “team” to investigate the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign, Fox News has learned … Republicans repeatedly have called for a thorough investigation of the FBI’s intelligence practices and the basis of the since-discredited Russian collusion narrative following the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. Meanwhile, Barr is expected to return to Capitol Hill Wednesday for the second of two days of hearings about the Justice Department’s budget. However, like House lawmakers on Tuesday, members of the subpanel of the Senate Appropriations Committee are expected to focus on Barr’s plan release a redacted version of the Mueller report.  Barr said Tuesday a redacted version of the Mueller reportwould be made available “within a week.”

JUDICIAL WATCH NEWS: Judicial Watch uncovers a “cover up” reference in latest production of Clinton email documents. 

Hillary Contractor Described ‘Cover-up Operation Work Ticket’ in Newly Uncovered Email. (Epoch Times) — A newly obtained internal message from the Denver-based Platte River Networks firm that serviced the personal email system used by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for official diplomatic business referenced a “Hillary cover-up operation work ticket archive cleanup,” the nonprofit government watchdog Judicial Watch said on April 8. The email with the cover-up reference is contained in FBI notes on a February 2016 interview of an unidentified Platte River Networks official. Judicial Watch obtained the notes as part of more than 400 previously unreleased FBI documents a federal district court order turned over to the nonprofit as a result of its Freedom of Information Act suit. In the Dec. 11, 2014, email, an unidentified Platte River Network official told another that “I’m kind of freaking about Gresham. Thoughts on what to do with [name redacted].” The official responded: “Its all part of the Hillary coverup operation. I’ll have to tell you about it at the party.” A smiling emoji was inserted by the responder between the two sentences. The “Gresham” reference appears to be to the Chicago-based Gresham Partners LLC. It’s not clear what, if any, connection there is between that firm, which describes itself as “an independent investment and wealth management firm that has been serving select families, family offices and endowments since 1997,” and the “Hillary cover-up operation.” In another of the newly released documents, an unidentified individual working with an inspector from the Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General told a Department of State official in a June 27, 2015, email that “I have personally reviewed hundreds of documents in the HRC collection. I can now say, without reservation, that there are literally hundreds of classified emails in this collection; maybe more.” It is not known from the documents how many emails were contained in the reviewed collection in which the classified emails were found by the unidentified individual.
