As members of Congress vote to confirm Gina Haspel as the next director of the CIA, the majority of her record and her experience overseeing illegal torture programs remains classified.

The House Intelligence Committee’s inquiry into Russian election collusion, led by Mike Conaway, said the House agreed with US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the U.S.’s 2016 presidential election. However, Conaway also stated that there’s no evidence that Donald Trump or anyone associated with the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the election.
Conaway, the Texas Republican who has led the yearlong probe, announced on Monday the House committee had finished interviewing witnesses and planned to share a draft report with Democratic colleagues on Tuesday. “The bottom line: The Russians did commit active measures against our election in ’16, and we think they will do that in the future,” he told reporters. However, he added, “We found no evidence that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it colluded with the Russians.”
According to The BBC, Conway said Republicans conducting the inquiry did not find proof that any of the “Russian meddling” done by the Kremlin was to sway the election in favor of President Donald Trump. The inquiry is just one of several probes looking into alleged Russian meddling.
Investigations by special counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee are ongoing. Mueller is leading a criminal investigation while the congressional inquiries serve to inform the public and make legislative recommendations.
Russian officials have repeatedly denied intervening in the 2016 election and the Democrats on the panel are expected to release their own report. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the committee, called the investigation “fundamentally incomplete,” mostly because it’s been a year and Schiff still hasn’t found evidence to back his allegations. “By ending its oversight role in the only authorized investigation in the House, the Majority has placed the interests of protecting the President over protecting the country, and history will judge its actions harshly,” Schiff said.
President Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing, also tweeted about the House Republicans’ conclusion on Monday night.
THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The responses to this tweet have shown that leftists in the United States are far from satisfied with ending an evidenceless 14-month-long investigation. But even though the inquiry may be drawing to a close, the political warfare is just getting started. Many on the left wonder if the committee did enough in their drawn-out investigation to find evidence of collusion.
That these are the key questions the left is pondering is good news for the Trump administration. The admission that no clear-cut evidence of “collusion” has been unearthed shows the weakness in the statement “We just didn’t look hard enough” and doesn’t carry that venomous of a political sting.
Conaway said the panel had done more than enough to find the evidence that just doesn’t exist. They have spoken to 73 witnesses and reviewed more than 300,000 pages of documents. He said the worst the panel found was “perhaps some bad judgment, inappropriate meetings, inappropriate judgment at taking meetings,” which appeared to refer to a June 2016 meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer that has come under scrutiny but that was still not evidence of collusion, according to the House Intelligence Committee.
A day after certain members of the Senate Intelligence committee expressed their profound disappointment with Facebook, Twitter and Google for appearing to blow off lawmakers’ concerns about a “sophisticated” Russia-backed propaganda campaign purportedly being carried out on their platforms, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova is hitting back, warning that Russia has “a surprise” response planned if US lawmakers overtly ban Russia Today and Sputnik from running advertisements on twitter and other US social media platforms.
According to Interfax and Sputnik, Zakharova said Russia would be forced to respond to the ban, which she said constituted “intimidation and blackmail.”
She also singled out Twitter, which was the first - and so far, the only - to prohibit Russia Today from running ads, criticizing the company for kowtowing to pressure from lawmakers and US intelligence agencies.
"By imposing this ban, Twitter demonstrates its commercial insolvency and absolute dependence on the will of the US security establishment, which directly controls the decision-making process in this company, as we see it at the moment," Zakharova said.
Additionally, the ban would only serve to further strain already tenuous relations between the US and Moscow.
"Of course, Washington"s policy for further degradation of US-Russian relations is regrettable. This is an absolutely short-sighted policy, fraught with negative consequences, including for the United States itself," Zakharova said.
Twitter banned all ads from RT and Sputnik last month under pressure from lawmakers.
While the Sputnik news agency has stated in its press-release that it had never paid for promotion on Twitter, RT has responded with numbers — the broadcaster"s editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, has revealed the amount of money spent on Twitter ads during the US election race; the number totals $275,000, in comparison to the presidential nominees who spent about $1 billion each.
Simonyan also famously published the “full” sales pitch it received from Twitter ahead of the election last year. RT said it turned down the “multi-million dollar advertising proposal.” On Twitter, advertising largely consists of the platform promoting a user’s tweets in exchange for money.
Earlier today, Buzzfeed published emails from a Twitter ad executive to RT pitching a $3 million advertisisng campaign, which the company said would amplify RT"s voice seven-fold.
According to the Russian diplomat, the existing legislation in Russia allows, if necessary, to declare the foreign media outlets operating in the country as ""foreign agents" or "undesirable organizations."
Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously vowed to give a mirror-like response if the US decides to further restrict activities of Russian media outlets.
Last week, Twitter Safety released ‘a calendar of our safety work’ in approach to make the social media platform a much safer place. Twitter’s blog indicates “far too often in the past we’ve said we’d do better and promised transparency but have fallen short in our efforts”. The timeline will include regular and real-time updates about safety changes and overall progress of the social media channel to provide transparency. The blog also indicates “this is the first time we’ve shared this level of visibility into our work”.
According to Ars Technica, Twitter’s transformation will begin this Thursday–
On October 27, Twitter will expand what types of “non-consensual nudity” (aka “revenge porn”) that it takes action against. The company will already act when a victim complains, but Twitter will soon act even in cases where the victims may not be aware images were taken, instances like upskirt photos and hidden webcams. “Anyone we identify as the original poster of non-consensual nudity will be suspended immediately,”
What is Revenge Porn?
The term ‘revenge porn,’ though frequently used, is somewhat misleading. Many perpetrators are not motivated by revenge or by any personal feelings toward the victim. A more accurate term is nonconsensual pornography (NCP), defined as the distribution of sexually graphic images of individuals without their consent.
As of June 08, 2017, C.A. GOLDBERG, PLLC, who focuses in the areas of revenge porn, domestic violence, sexual assault, & public figure crises says about 38 US states have adopted ‘revenge porn laws’. Interesting enough, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, and South Caroline do not have ‘revenge porn laws’.
Here are various states and the penalties for revenge porn…
Revenge porn search term in the United States has been an explosive trend over the past 5-6 years. States such as Maine, West Virginia, and Kentucky have the highest interest by region.
Unfortunately, millions of Americans idolize Hollywood, who have been actively promoting revenge porn for the world to see. The latest story is Rob Kardashian posting nude pictures of Blac Chyna…
Back to the Twitter’s blog post, where the social media platform has outlined 4-months of proposed transparency in attempt to make the platform a much safer place. After Thursday, on November 03, Twitter will suspend organizations and groups who have a history for advocating violence . This will include banning hate imagery in profile headers and avatars, along with banning “hateful display names”.
Most social media channels are in damage control ahead of the Senate Intelligence Committee to testify in a public hearing November 01 about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Twitter has felt the need to become more ‘transparent’ and tackle revenge porn ahead of the meeting.
Here are questions we ask:
Why does Twitter suddenly care about revenge porn?
Is it because of the Senate Intelligence Committee meeting?

Are insiders attempting to transform Twitter <TWTR> post -81% stock crash?
Last week we jokingly wrote about a Facebook press release that was apparently an honest effort by the social media giant intended to summarize Russian efforts to undermine the 2016 election using their social media platform.
That said, at least to us, it seemed as though Facebook unwittingly proved what a farce the entire "Russian collusion" narrative has become as, after digging through advertising data for the better part of full year, Facebook reported that they found a "staggering" $50,000 worth of ad buys that "MAY" have been purchased by Russian-linked accounts to run "potentially politically related" ads.
Now, just in case it isn"t crystal clear why the above statement is so ridiculous, please allow us to demonstrate with one simple chart. This is how the $50,000 worth of "Russian" ad buys on Facebook compares to the $1.2 billion that Hillary spent on her campaign...please note, this is not a mistake...the $50k literally isn"t even big enough to show up on the chart.
All of which means that one of the following three things is true: i) Facebook delivers the greatest ROIC to advertisers in the history of mankind, ii) Hillary is the worst allocator of capital ever or iii) this whole narrative is just beyond dumb.
Of course, despite this relatively simplistic explanation of why Facebook went "full retard" in their attempt to prove that Russians used their website to throw a presidential election, Democrats in Congress apparently don"t get the joke. As The Hill pointed out earlier today, Senate Democrats on the Intelligence Committee are inexplicably using the new Facebook advertising "revelations" from last week to demand a public hearing with a handful of social media giants including Facebook and Twitter.
The top lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee have both signaled interest in having officials from Facebook and Twitter testify about Russian interference on their platforms during the 2016 presidential election.
Warner has been pushing for the companies" officials to testify before the Senate panel, and on Tuesday he weighed in on a report that Russian agents used Facebook to promote protests in the U.S., including an anti-immigrant protest in August 2016 during the campaign.
Facebook shared some details with Warner last week regarding Russia"s election interference. Warner said the company did not reveal to him that Russian actors had created Facebook event pages for anti-immigration and anti-Muslim rallies, which the Daily Beast reported Tuesday.
“I’m disappointed that Facebook didn’t come forward with this information about the Russians pushing people to anti-immigration rallies,” Warner told reporters.
“That somehow that was something they didn’t think was relevant, which is again why I think this is the tip of the iceberg. There’s going to be, I think, much more," he said. “I question whether Facebook has put near the resources they need into getting us all the facts."
Warner said that he has been frustrated by Facebook’s limited disclosures on Kremlin-connected groups using the platform to influence U.S. politics, noting that the company has only revealed a single “troll farm” involved, the Internet Research Group.
Meanwhile, Reuters may have just stumbled upon the key piece of evidence proving that the Russians managed to change the course of American history with just $50,000 in ad buys. Apparently, one series of ads was so effective that it managed to attract the "interest" of 48 people on Facebook to an "anti-immigrant" rally in Idaho...and 4 of them even said they went (again, this is not a typo...that"s 4 people, not 4,000 or 400,000...no, just 4).
The Daily Beast, the news website that first reported on the promoted events posted on Facebook, said one advertisement promoted an anti-immigrant rally in Idaho in August 2016.
The rally was hosted by a Facebook group called “Secured Borders,” which was a Russian front and is now suspended, according to the Daily Beast.
Some 48 people on Facebook expressed an interest in the Idaho event and four said they went, according to a copy of the event page archived by Google’s search engine.
For the record, Idaho hasn"t been a contended state since Lyndon Johnson won it for Democrats in 1964.
So there you have, $50,000 in Russian ad buys on Facebook convinced 4 people to attend and anti-immigrant rally in Idaho and that changed the course of American history forever.
On other news, yes, this is real life.

Historians of the future, huddled around their goose-fat lamps in muddy woolen cloaks, may cite this as the month that the Kardashian Dreamland formerly known as “The USA” finally lost its collective mind.
Submitted for your approval, as the late, great Rod Serling (senator from The Twilight Zone) used to say: this week’s Russia-Russia-Russia hearing on Capital Hill. I caught the final hour of this circus when freshman senator Kamala Harris (D – Cal) was hectoring Attorney General Jeff Sessions about his “contact with Russian Officials” and had to be reprimanded by the chair for her rude behavior.
Note: it’s now deemed illicit for US government officials to talk to Russian diplomats. I wonder what would happen if government officials in other lands decided that it was improper to talk with US diplomats. The Democratic Party seems to be building a case that the world would be better off without diplomats cluttering up each other’s capital cities. Hey hey, ho ho, Di-plo-macy has got to go! Now that’s a most progressive idea! Apparently, AG Sessions riled Senator Harris by pointing out that the Soviet Union collapsed nearly thirty years ago — a typical white privilege thing to say, right?
Next up was Senator Mark Warner (D – Va), Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who grilled Sessions about Russia’s electronic warfare capability. Say what?
First of all, wouldn’t Senator Warner find more enlightenment on the subject by calling the Secretary of Defense, or the top military brass, or the NSA Director to the witness table? Does he know where the duties of the US Attorney General begin and end?
Secondly, Is there anybody in this country with an IQ above room temperature who thinks that the USA is not similarly disposed to carry out electronic warfare? Or that all the advanced nations of the world are not toying with internet intrusions into each other’s cyber space? Perhaps this is a manifestation of the political neurosis called American Exceptionalism, the idea that we’re so unlike people in other lands that they might as well be space aliens. (A sweet idea for a new Twilight Zone episode.)
All this idiocy suggests that the Russia meme is losing its mojo and the forces dedicate to dump Trump might have to look elsewhere for some legal ground to stand on. For the moment, they’re veering into the darkling woods where obstruction of justice lives, a Blair Witch Project of politics, where any old assemblage of broken twigs is a sure sign of the lurking beast — but perhaps that’s exactly where witch-hunting takes you.
Personally, I still believe they’ll run him over with the 25th Amendment, which allows for simple removal of a batshit incompetent executive without the pain-in-the-ass rigmarole of due process. You just get a consensus of the highest officials in the land to agree that guy has to go, and they get him gone, and, in this case, you get yourself Mike Pence, a tranny-like Church-Lady with a hard-on for the Koch Brothers. That’ll get the country great fast, I’m sure.
Then, of course, there was the gunning down of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and others on a Virginia ballfield by a disgruntled Bernie Sanders fan, of all things. Is it hyperbole to say that this incident had the tone of a first shot in a new civil war? Even the hysterical elements over at CNN rushed to put out the very brushfires they had been kindling by broadcasting the Thursday night news against the backdrop of the annual congressional charity baseball gamed held at the Washington Nationals ballpark — as if the sore-beset people of this dissolute land might be stirred from their anomie by the comforting sound of wood on horsehide. Summer’s not quite officially here yet, but who feels like dancing in the streets? It’s more like wanting to hide behind the nearest trash can.
Below is a perfect example of why civilized political discourse is no longer possible in the United States.
Twice in the past two weeks, first with deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and then again yesterday with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the freshman Senator from California, Kamala Harris, chose to pursue an aggressive series of questions that many have interpreted simply as an effort to patronize, mock and/or embarrass witnesses before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
But the questions asked by Harris, are not the real issue. She has the right, and frankly the obligation, to ask tough and probing questions.
The issue is that after asking those tough/probing questions Harris seems to have forgotten that witnesses are supposed to be given an opportunity to respond. Moreover, when witnesses are not allowed to respond, it"s the duty of the committee chair, who happens to be Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) in the case of the Senate Intelligence Committee, to maintain order and assure that "questioning" of a witness doesn"t morph into "badgering" of a witness.
And that is exactly what happened yesterday when Harris once again decided to interrupt Jeff Sessions nearly 20 times in just over 6 minutes of testimony. Here"s the full interview with a convenient "interruption counter":
Of course, as soon as Chairman Burr interrupted to remind Harris of the rules of the Senate Intelligence Committee and her obligation to allow witnesses an opportunity to respond, something he"s also done with other colleagues as well, the Twittersphere erupted with accusations of racism and misogyny. Perhaps the most egregious, irresponsible accusation came from none other than CNN"s very own political commentator Keith Boykin.
Why do Republican senators only interrupt when Kamala Harris is asking questions? A black woman can"t question a white attorney general? pic.twitter.com/0zD59hVH7E

But CNN wasn"t the only one to blast Burr"s interruption as sexist and/or racist...here are just a couple of other examples:

Let me just say the fact that Jeff Sessions would tell @KamalaHarris, a Black woman that she makes him nervous, is a racist dog whistle.
— Lynn V. (@lynnv378) June 13, 2017
Of course, Harris has had a distinguished legal career going back to 1990 when she served as the Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County, California and culminating with two terms as California"s Attorney General before being elected to the Senate last year. Given that, perhaps someone could explain why it"s not supremely insulting and condescending to suggest that Kamala Harris should be given special treatment and exempted from committee rules simply because of her race and/or sex...that suggestion would seem to be more racist and/or sexist.
(ANTIMEDIA) — For those who have failed to notice the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America until now, it is high time to look down at the Lilliputian now occupying the Attorney General’s office.
As AG Jeff Sessions appears before the Senate Intelligence Committee to the discuss the ongoing Russia scandal, do not let his diminutive stature, mousy demeanor, or “aww-shucks” Southern drawl fool you; he is a mouse that has long roared: “Law enforcement can do no wrong.”
Now a nation of too many laws, the United States has truly become a government of men and again — as is the case with Attorney General Sessions — mice, and this gives Jeff Sessions immense power to implement his vision for law enforcement to exterminate American vice.
However, no one should expect Sessions to take many, if any questions regarding his heavy-handed vision for law enforcement when he appears before the Senate on Tuesday. No, he will be asked about meeting with the Russian ambassador, as well as his conversations with James Comey and President Trump as part of the ongoing Russia-Trump melodrama consuming Washington D.C.
So, while Sessions and his former colleagues in the Senate use their time in the media spotlight to spar and speculate over scandal, I would like to ask a few questions of Mr. Sessions that actually deserve time in the spotlight.
All of my questions are based on one general inquiry: is there any limit to the freedoms you are willing to sacrifice, Mr. Sessions, for the sake of government power, security, and law enforcement?
I may be wrong, but I suspect your answer will have a lot to do with your antiquated few of drugs in America, and that leads us to my next question.
Now, these questions and more may have been asked of you in the past, Mr. Sessions, but they received short shrift in the media spotlight. Hopefully, this will change.
But in the meantime, what a shame that the media is more intrigued that you met with the Russian ambassador when you were a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee than they are with issues you have direct and indirect power to control in your capacity as Attorney General.
Creative Commons / Anti-Media / Report a typo
While the mainstream media devoted an agonizing amount of coverage to an HBO host’s use of a racial slur, it ignored the Trump Administration’s efforts to further bury war crimes committed by the United States—even though the latter is arguably more alarming and offensive.
Those war crimes were detailed in the 2014 CIA torture report from the Senate Intelligence Committee. The report gave insight into the gruesome, cruel methods used by CIA agents in their attempts to extract information from suspected Al-Qaeda members after 9/11.
The full 6,700-page report has never been released to the public, and there is a good chance it won’t make any progress under President Trump. He has reportedly begun returning all copies of the classified report to Congress, following requests from Sen. Richard Burr, the intelligence committee’s current Republican chairman.
“I have directed my staff to retrieve copies of the Congressional study that remain with the Executive Branch agencies, and as the Committee does with all classified and compartmented information, will enact the necessary measures to protect the sensitive sources and methods contained within the report,” Burr said in a statement to Reuters.
This move is notable because while government documents are supposed to be made public under the Freedom of Information Act, documents held by Congress are exempt. If all of the copies of the CIA torture report end up in the hands of members of Congress who want to keep them from the public, they could be buried for good.
The latest developments impacting the future of the report have drawn criticism from some Democrats in the Senate.

Sen. Mark Warner, the current Democratic chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, took to Twitter to share his disappointment with the decision. “#TortureReport must be preserved so we can learn from past mistakes & ensure that abuses are never repeated,” Warner said.
Disappointed w/ this decision. #TortureReport must be preserved so we can learn from past mistakes & ensure that abuses are never repeated. https://t.co/VZPoEsldVu
— Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) June 2, 2017
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who was the committee’s chairman when the report was authored, called Burr’s request “alarming and concerning.”
“This creates a dangerous precedent,” Feinstein said. “No senator—chairman or not—has the authority to erase history. I believe that is the intent of the chairman.”
Following the report’s completion, Feinstein ordered copies to be sent to several government agencies, who would then have the opportunity to release it under a FOIA request.
As The Free Thought Project reported in May 2016, the CIA inspector general’s office admitted to “mistakenly” destroying their only copy of the CIA torture report. However, when the agency turned to CIA Director John Brennan, who has his own copy of the classified report, he refused to send a replacement to the internal watchdog’s office.
Although HBO late-night host Bill Maher’s use of the “N-word” during an interview has garnered much more attention from the mainstream media, the fate of the Senate’s CIA torture report is news that should warrant every American’s concern.
While a 500-page executive summary was released in December 2014, the full 6,700-page report has never been made public. Many politicians claimed the release of the entire report would be detrimental to U.S. foreign relations. But the question, with the heavily redacted summary already detailing kidnapping, torture, public deception, human rights abuses and war crimes—what is the CIA still trying to hide?
As predicted, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee came out swinging early today with several questions for acting FBI Director McCabe on whether the Trump administration was actively seeking to impede an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Unfortunately, McCabe"s answers will undoubtedly be somewhat disappointing for Democrats and CNN.
In an early exchange with Senator Marco Rubio, McCabe offered a very succinct answer on alleged White House interference with ongoing FBI investigations:
Rubio: "Has the dismissal of Mr. Comey in any way impeded, interrupted, stopped, or negatively impacted any of the work, any of the investigations or any ongoing projects at the Federal Bureau of Investigation?"
McCabe: "There has been no effort to impede our investigation to date."
"You cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing," McCabe says on if Comey"s firing disrupted ongoing investigations pic.twitter.com/PMivNMlmkd

Moreover, McCabe went on to confirm that no agents have been removed from the Russia probe and that no one from the White House had contacted him about the ongoing investigation.
*MCCABE SAYS HE"D REFRAIN FROM UPDATING WHITE HOUSE ON PROBE
*MCCABE: ALL AGENTS IN RUSSIA PROBE STILL IN THEIR POSITION
*MCCABE SAYS NO ONE IN WHITE HOUSE HAS SPOKEN TO HIM ABOUT PROBE
Asked whether an independent investigator was necessary, McCabe once again had a very succinct answer: "No, sir."
Senator Lankford: "Is it your impression at this point that the FBI is unable to complete the investigation in a fair and expeditious way because of the removal of Jim Comey?"
McCabe: "Is is my opinion and belief that the FBI will continue to pursue this investigation vigorously and completely."
Senator Lankford: "Do you need someone to take this away from you and somebody else to do it?"
McCabe: "No, sir."

— The Situation Room (@CNNSitRoom) May 11, 2017
Meanwhile, going one step further, McCabe also destroyed another New York Times narrative. Just yesterday we posted about a NYT story which implied that Comey was fired as a direct result of his request for a "significant increase" in funding for his "Russia probe". That said, McCabe quickly dismantled that narrative by noting that the FBI doesn"t even make funding requests for individual investigations but that the Russia investigation was nevertheless "adequately resourced."
Senator: "Can you confirm that that request [funding request for Russia probe] was, in fact, made?"
McCabe: "I can not confirm that request was made.
As you know, when we need resources, we make those requests here. So, I"m not aware of that request and it"s not consistent with my understanding of how we request additional resources.
That said, we don"t typically request resources for an individual case. And, as I mentioned, I strongly believe that the Russia investigation is adequately resourced."

Of course, we"re under no illusion that any of this testimony will make one bit of difference in the minds of Chuck Schumer or CNN as the Russians have clearly gotten to McCabe.
