Roy Moore’s Accuser Did Work for Joe Biden, Other Democratsby AARON KLEINFacebook
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — Deborah Wesson Gibson, the woman who alleges that she engaged in a legal and consensual but inappropriate relationship with Republican senatorial candidate Roy Moore, has boasted about doing work for Vice President Joe Biden and other Democrats.One posting on Gibson’s Facebook page also appears to show her doing work for Hillary Clinton:
Reached by Breitbart News, Gibson said that she has no comment on the work she did for Democrats.
Gibson was one of three women quoted in the Washington Post claiming that Moore pursued and or dated them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s. The age of consent in Alabama is 16. The fourth woman claims that when she was 14, Moore engaged in sex acts with her.
Gibson said that in the spring of 1981, when she was 17, she openly dated Moore for two or three months with her mother’s knowledge and approval. She says that physical activity progressed to a kiss once in his bedroom and a second kiss at a local country club.
A picture on Gibson’s Facebook page shows her with Vice President Joe Biden and says that she did work for him in 2012. One older version of that image is still on her page while another more recent posting of that same image came in response to a posting from the official Facebook page of Moore’s opponent, Doug Jones. That second posting was removed from Gibson’s Facebook page but is cached below.
In the posting about Biden, Gibson wrote that she was “honored to interpret for Vice President Biden in the Fall of 2012!”
Gibson owns Signs of Excellence, LLC, a sign language interpretation company that advertises it is based in Florida and Alabama.
The image of her with Biden is touted prominently on the webpage for her firm.
As first reported by AL.com, photos posted to the Facebook page for her interpretation company show Gibson providing sign language services for Florida Democratic Senator Bill Nelson and former Florida Congressman Patrick Murphy.
Signs of Excellence says the company provides “interpreting services to Deaf, hard-of-hearing, Deaf-Blind and hearing clients. … We are your source for all sign language interpreting needs.”

Comey Gets Awful Legal News, It’s Getting Ugly
Mark Prvulovic
It looks like the former-FBI Director is finding himself in a tricky situation as a new investigation is looking into his past behaviors.
According to The Washington Times, a probe has been launched to investigate his handling of the Clinton private email server case. The Inspector General announced that next spring the investigation should be finished.
Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General at the Justice Department, mentioned that the case was progressing at a rapid rate.
“We’ve interviewed dozens of people. We’re not at the hundreds yet, but we’re in the dozens range,” he told the House Oversight Committee, responding to the chairman of the committee, Rep. Trey Gowdy’s (R-SC), questions. Mr. Horowitz said they’d also reviewed 1.2 million records in the investigation so far, with more to come.
The Inspector General added that they were planning to finish the probe by March or April, although he said the timeline could change if new issues emerged. Considering the classified information involved, ex-government employees and their lawyers will need to be re-checked for security clearances, among other things.
Mr. Horrowitz’s investigation focuses on whether or not Justice Department policies were followed when then-FBI Director James Comey investigated Mrs. Clinton’s private email server. The latter had made a public announcement exonerating the Democrat presidential candidate in a move that broke from usual policies.
As reported by Fox News, the FBI released documents that proved Mr. Comey began drafting an exoneration letter concerning Hillary Clinton’s email investigation months before he had conducted crucial interviews, including that of Mrs. Clinton herself. Several Senators at the time wrote a letter to the newly-appointed FBI Director, Christopher Wray, mentioning that “it appears that in April or early May of 2016, Mr. Comey had already decided he would issue a statement exonerating Secretary Clinton. That was long before FBI agents finished their work.”
“The outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while FBI agents are still hard at work trying to gather the facts,” the Senators warned.
Mr. Horowitz first announced his investigation in January to investigate many issues related to the presidential race, including suspicions that Mr. Comey violated established procedures when he publicly discussed the Bureau’s findings in their investigation of Mrs. Clinton.
Although many officials from both sides of the aisle have requested expanding his probe into other controversies, such as President Trump’s supposed collusion with the Kremlin during his campaign, the Inspector General’s office said that they would not look into these issues at this time.
“One of the things we generally try and do is hold in abeyance any activity while there’s any ongoing FBI or in this case special counsel investigation,” Horowitz said in response to Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), according to Politico. “That’s what we’re doing here.”
The Inspector General also added that he determined these requests “relates to matters and could touch on that investigation,” referring to the cases that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating.
Chairman Gowdy said that he was scheduled to meet privately with the inspector general on Tuesday afternoon. As for Mr. Comey, he has promised to do everything in his power to comply with the investigation, admitting that “Yes, I’ve been interviewed. The Inspector General’s…looking at my conduct in the course of the email investigation, which—I know this sounds like a crazy thing to say—I encourage.”

Report: Polar vortex to bring 'extended period of severe winter weather'
By T.J. Pignataro
Autumn in Siberia often provides a glimpse into what winter has planned for the Great Lakes, including the Buffalo Niagara region.
So prepare to bundle up this winter.
Expect a frigid winter with at least one visit from a lobe of the polar vortex, according to climate researchers funded by the National Science Foundation.
"I think the combination of La Niña and an anticipated disruption of the polar vortex could focus the worst of this winter's weather around the Great Lakes," said Judah Cohen, a meteorologist at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, a firm specializing in environmental research.
Although there's no immediate signs of weakening in the polar vortex, that could happen by January, Cohen said.
"All indicators favor a cold winter in the eastern U.S.," according to the report. "The combination of cold and wet could result in an above normal snow season for parts of the northern U.S., including the large population centers of the northeastern U.S."
"All indicators favor a cold winter in the eastern U.S.," according to the report. "The combination of cold and wet could result in an above normal snow season for parts of the northern U.S., including the large population centers of the northeastern U.S."
The report, released Thursday, identifies areas around Lake Erie and in the northern Plains states to be the coldest from normal.
Temperatures averaging nearly 2 degrees below normal are expected in those areas for December, January and February, according to the report.
Researchers relied on various predictors when making the seasonal forecast, including the El Niño/Southern Oscillation, Eurasian snow cover extent during October, Arctic sea ice and another index measuring atmospheric patterns in the high latitude areas of the globe.
We in New England are on the border line of a brutal winter from a moderate one. Let us Pray.
‘Russia’ Informant Spills The Beans, This Is Massive
The Uranium One deal is without a doubt one of the most controversial government bombshells in US history. Many questions are centering around how much the Obama administration knew about this deal, and how much they covered up.
It turns out that the secret FBI confidant who went undercover to find Hillary Clinton’s connection in the Uranium dealings is none other than William Campell, a Russian lobbyist. According to The Daily Caller, Campell’s attorney, Victoria Toensing, revealed that former-President Obama’s Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, is responsible for Campbell’s ability to “tell what all the Russians were talking about during the time that all these bribery payments were made.”
Cambell is scheduled to speak in front of a congressional committee about various factors surrounding the Uranium One deal. The deal involved a Russian government-backed company, Rosatom, buying a uranium firm that held 20 percent of the United States’ uranium reserves.
This testimony to Congress will be crucial in discovering more about the deal. Campbell allegedly gave relevant information to the FBI about the things that he witnessed while he was undercover.
Congressional committees sought interviews with Campbell during his five years undercover. These attempts were thwarted until recently.
Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman of the Department of Justice, announced that a deal was reached in October allowing Congress to speak with Campbell. This agreement wasn’t made until almost eight years after he initially went undercover.
Even better news emanates from this scenario. Two House chairmen said they initiated a probe in October to find out whether Russia had an influence over the Uranium One deal.

There is evidence indicating that Bill Clinton received half a million dollars for a short speech to a Russian bank while the deal was in negotiations. The speech furthered initial speculation.
Then there was evidence showing that money was going into the Clinton Foundation from the Russians while they were waiting for the deal to finalize. Some say that the money was a “donation” to help speed up the process of getting the Uranium One deal secured.
There is little speculation about the money being routed into Clinton accounts. Payments have been widely reported and confirmed by various sources. But the worst bit of evidence involves former President Bill Clinton.
Loretta Lynch is partially to blame for Russian information being passed. Did the Obama DOJ fail at keeping information confidential?

It is difficult to ignore the evidence and brush it off as mere coincidence. If Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, and Bill Clinton’s involvement in this deal aren’t as bad as some speculate, there is indeed reason to be alarmed over the backhanded dealings that brought this deal to bear.
To add insult to injury, Mrs. Clinton has denied all claims of this incident, insisting that the accusations have been debunked. The problem with that: no such evidence of this issue being debunked has ever come to light, not even from the most left-wing media organizations.

Gowdy Drops Massive Hillary Bombshell, She’s Busted
The misdeeds of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have not been forgotten. As Judicial Watch continues to fight Fusion GPS in court, more details of the corruption in the Clinton campaign have emerged. One Congressman is paying close attention to these details, and he isn’t letting the issue go.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace to discuss whether or not the actions of the Hillary Clinton campaign are laundering crimes.
Rep. Gowdy stated, “I’m not an election law expert, Chris, but the good news is you don’t have to be to understated the absurdity believing you can just launder all of your campaign money by just hiring a law firm.”
Mr. Wallace summed up the issue: “The Clinton campaign and the DNC — which paid $12 million to the law firm Perkins Coie that paid for the opposition research that led to the dossier — that in the FEC filings it simply says ‘12 million dollars to Perkins Coie, the law firm, for legal work.’ No mention of the fact that it was also paying for oppo research that went to Christopher Steele.”
The Clinton campaign paid attorney Marc Elias and his firm Perkins Coie, for “legal services.” Perkins Coie then made payments to Fusion GPS for supposed “opposition research.” Fusion GPS then hired Steele, a former British spy, to create a dossier.
Steele took his paid investigation to the Kremlin, where more money exchanged hands for information he used to create the dossier from a series of memos. The series of money exchanges certainly raises suspicion.
Wallace then added, “As I understand it, that willful misrepresentation of campaign expenditures is a criminal offense.”
Rep. Gowdy explained, “Imagine if you and I were running for Congress and we just hired a law firm and said ‘Hey, you go do all the oppo, you go buy all the television, you go buy all the bumper stickers, you go hire all the experts.’ And we’re going to launder all of this through a law firm. I can’t think of anything that defeats the purpose of transparency laws more than that.”
Rep. Gowdy then remarked that Democrats involved with the circumstances claim they can’t remember who paid for the research. “I’m also interested in sharing some memory tricks with folks at the DNC because no one can remember who paid $10 million to a law firm to do oppo research. I find that stunning! $10 million and no one can remember who authorized it, who approved it, who said ‘yeah, this is a really good idea,’” he said.
“You’ve got two issues: a memory issue, and then the lack of transparency by laundering money through a law firm,” Rep. Gowdy concluded.
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton recently appeared on Lou Dobbs Tonight and stated, “We’ve got a real crisis here … It’s one thing to have Democratic lawyers or Fusion GPS lawyers protecting the dossier information payments about it. It’s another thing to have the FBI and Justice Department fighting to keep the public in the dark about this.”
Dobbs lamented on the absurdity of how the issue is being handled, from documents hidden from the public to closed-door meetings. “It’s a joke … The thing that’s broken here is the integrity of our committees in Congress, the integrity of our intelligence agencies. And I’m saying it out loud because there is every evidence of corruption across all of those agencies.”
Judicial Watch has already made progress in forcing Fusion GPS to reveal information that sheds light on the Clinton campaign involvement in the creation of the dossier. They will continue to fight to obtain Fusion GPS bank records to uncover the intricacies of money exchanges. They may be able to prove that Clinton was involved in money laundering, proving Rep. Gowdy correct.

Ned Ryun on Roy Moore: ‘I Strongly, Strongly Suspect Somebody out of the McConnell Camp Planted the Story’
by JOHN HAYWARD

American Majority founder Ned Ryun talked about Roy Moore and the Alabama Senate race with Breitbart News Executive Chairman Steve Bannon and SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Friday’s Breitbart News Daily, broadcast live from the Restoration Weekend event.
Bannon asked Ryun about celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred’s involvement in the Roy Moore case, representing a woman who accuses Moore of assaulting her in 1977 when she was 16 years old.
Ryan said Allred is “basically a human vulture when you look back at some of the things she’s been involved in.”
“Remember the incident with Arnold Schwarzenegger?” Ryun asked. “She brought all these women in front of him, said they’re going to sue, they’re going to file suit against Schwarzenegger. Guess what? After the election, absolutely nothing happened.”
“I think a real turning point was that press conference when they pulled out the yearbook and the signature,” he said of Allred’s entry into the Moore controversy, referring to an interview with MSNBC’s Katy Tur where Allred did not come off well.
Ryun said this interview demonstrated that the best way to respond to sensational allegations is to “just throw facts back at them.”
“I’m remembering clearly, you remember this, the incident where I just brought up the Clinton Foundation, Uranium One. This is back in the spring. Couldn’t believe the reaction,” he said.
“Back to Alabama, we were talking in the break about this poll. This is John Kerry’s pollster who did this poll that just came out recently,” Ryun said, referring to a Fox News poll that showed Democrat Doug Jones with an eight-point lead over Republican Roy Moore.
“Why is Fox News using John Kerry’s pollster?” Bannon asked incredulously.
“Because John Kerry’s pollster has an agreement with the other company, Schoen Company, which is Karl Rove’s,” Kassam replied.
Ryun cited an observation the late Christopher Hitchens made in 1992, that “polls these days are not made to truly understand public opinion, but they’re meant to shape public opinion; they’re used as a weapon now.”
(As Kassam pointed out, Hitchens’ poetic way of phrasing this was to say that “opinion polling was born out of a struggle not to discover the public mind, but to master it,” and, in particular, to develop a weapon against organized-labor populism.)
“Pull all the Band-Aids off in D.C., and I think that at the end of the day, you’re going to see some things that will undermine the corrupt consultant class as the Band-Aids get ripped off on this,” Ryun predicted. “I think people need to start asking about behavior at the party committees. It’s time that we actually say, ‘Let’s have an honest conversation, a wide variety of thoughts.’”
Bannon interpreted this to mean that Ryun was accusing the D.C. “consultant class” of concealing a good deal of inappropriate behavior toward women.
“That’s what I am implying,” Ryun replied. “I think this might, ultimately, even though there are going to be some interesting moments moving forward, I think this will be a good thing for the populist movement.”
Ryun said there was no doubt in his mind that the allegations against Moore were part of an “organized hit,” as Bannon put it.
“I’ve been in D.C. almost 20 years. And, again, I don’t have hard proof, and I will say this clearly: I do not have hard proof, but I strongly suspect it’s a very short list of people, all who are associated with Mitch McConnell – whether it’s Josh Holmes, whether it’s Karl Rove, might even be Steven Law – I don’t know, but I strongly, strongly suspect somebody out of the McConnell camp planted the story.”
“It was planted. This came with the blessing of Mitch McConnell at some point, that he was going to take a political shot at Roy Moore,” he declared.
Bannon asked for Ryun’s thoughts on Restoration Weekend and his role as a presenter at the event.
“It’s so important. You bring together just some great people – obviously yourself, Raheem; you’re going to have Congressman Devin Nunes as the keynote speaker. You’ll be speaking, I know, later today,” Ryun replied. “It’s just great where people come from all over the country, spend three days together, be able to interact with people like you and like Devin Nunes.”
“I’m really excited to introduce Congressman Nunes,” he added. “He has been the rock star on unmasking Fusion. So I’m excited to be here. He’s a rising star. Keep an eye on him. You know, the thing is, he took it on the chin this spring. They were going after him, undermining his credibility. He didn’t stop.”
Here’s The FBI Informant Who Says He Has Evidence On the Uranium One Deal
HENRY RODGERS Political Reporter6

The FBI confidential informant who went undercover to look into Hillary Clinton’s role in an Obama administration-era uranium company was identified Thursday.
William Campbell, a Russian lobbyist, is the informant, according to Reuters. He will be testifying before a congressional committee about the 2010 sale of Uranium One, where a Russian-backed company bought a uranium firm with mines in the U.S. Campbell gave information to the FBI about what he saw while undercover as an informant.
Congressional committees have previously tried to interview Campbell, as he was undercover for roughly five years, working to get information on Russia’s efforts to grow its atomic energy business in the U.S.
Department of Justice spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told The Hill that a deal was reached in late October, clearing the informant to talk to Congress for the first time — almost eight years after he first went undercover.
Two House chairmen also announced a probe in late October which is digging into new reports about Russian efforts to influence the Uranium One nuclear purchase that gave Russia control of roughly 20 percent of America’s uranium.
When Clinton served as secretary of state, Russia routed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, and former President Bill Clinton collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in Russian speaking fees as part of Russian efforts to influence the U.S. government to approve the deal, The Hill reported.
Campbell’s attorney, Victoria Toensing, said on Fox Business that former attorneys general under the Obama administration are the reason her client hasn’t been able to “tell what all the Russians were talking about during the time that all these bribery payments were made.”

No, Al Franken has not admitted what his accuser alleged
by Byron York
Has Sen. Al Franken acknowledged the misconduct alleged by radio host Leeann Tweeden? The answer is no. Franken has acknowledged the actions in a photo in which he mimics groping a sleeping Tweeden. But Franken has not admitted Tweeden's more serious charge that he physically forced himself on her while rehearsing for a skit during a USA tour in 2008. (AP Photos)
Some of the voices – like Hillary Clinton – offering semi-defenses of Al Franken have done so by noting that Franken has acknowledged misconduct toward radio host Leeann Tweeden, while Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore and President Trump have not admitted guilt for the allegations against them.
"Look at the contrast between Al Franken, accepting responsibility, apologizing, and Roy Moore and Donald Trump, who have done neither," Clinton said on WABC radio Friday.
Other Franken allies have said similar things.
But has Franken acknowledged the misconduct alleged by Tweeden? The answer is no. Franken has acknowledged the actions in a photo in which he mimics groping a sleeping Tweeden. But Franken has not admitted Tweeden's more serious charge that he physically forced himself on her while rehearsing for a skit during a USA tour in 2006.
"He just put his hand on the back of my head and mashed his face against me," Tweeden said in a news conference Thursday. "It happened so fast. He mashed his lips against my face and stuck his tongue in my mouth so fast. All I can remember is that his lips were really wet and slimy."
Franken has not only not admitted that act but has said he has a different memory of the moment.
"I certainly don't remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann," Franken said in his first statement after the news broke.
Later, in a more extensive statement – one in which he discussed the photo at length – Franken said, "While I don't remember the rehearsal for the skit as Leeann does, I understand why we need to listen to and believe women's experiences."
On Friday, Franken addressed the subject for a third time, in an email to Tweeden. He apologized for the photo, but said, again: "I remember that rehearsal differently."
Franken added, on the rehearsal incident, that "What's important is the impact on you and you felt violated by my actions. For that I apologize." The email was a classic I'm-sorry-if-you-were-offended apology that did not admit the behavior alleged.
In none of the statements did Franken say what his memory of the incident is.
It's perfectly fine for Franken to dispute Tweeden's account. As with Moore's and Trump's accusers, Tweeden's story is not necessarily the final word on what happened.
But it is not true that Franken has admitted what Tweeden alleged. He has admitted to what was in a photograph for the world to see. But he has not admitted the more serious allegation of sexual misconduct in Tweeden's account.
