The Girl in the Swimming Pool
Christine Keeler, 1942-2017

by Mark Steyn - Ave atque vale - December 5, 2017

Christine Keeler died just before midnight on Monday. She was a teenager when she emerged naked from Lord Astor's swimming pool, and set in motion events that brought down the Government of the United Kingdom. Splashed across the front pages in 1963, her name resonated in Britain until the very end - even though, unlike her chum Mandy Rice-Davies, she was never able to parlay her notoriety into a lucrative second act. When I met her, as I recount below, she was delicate and damaged, beautiful and broke. Here's what I had to say about that turbulent summer in my obituary of her besotted lover, John Profumo - whose foolishness and decency also has a topical relevance, in the autumn of Weinstein, Lauer, Rose et al.
With Miss Keeler's death, all the principals of the tale are gone - the older men and the far younger women. We get a lot of requests for this essay, which in fact is anthologized in my book Mark Steyn's Passing Parade. Rest in peace, Christine:
It began like a movie: July 8th 1961. An unusually warm evening at a grand country estate. A girl in the swimming pool. She pulls herself up out of the water. She's beautiful, and naked. A larky lad in the water has tossed her bathing costume into the bushes. And among the blasé weekend guests dressed for dinner and taking a stroll on the terrace one man reacts with more than nonchalant amusement as the girl hastily wraps a towel around her. She leaves with someone else the next day. But not before the man on the terrace has enquired after her name.

It was Christine Keeler. The house was Cliveden, country home of Lord Astor. ...

Mueller is much like the incompetent old cop who needs to make a score, so he plants evidence

Mueller’s Credibility Problem

The special counsel is stonewalling Congress and protecting the FBI.

By WSJ The Editorial Board  Dec. 4, 2017 

2008 COMMENTS

Donald Trump is his own worst enemy, as his many ill-advised tweets on the weekend about Michael Flynn, the FBI and Robert Mueller’s Russia probe demonstrate. But that doesn’t mean that Mr. Mueller and the Federal Bureau of Investigation deserve a pass about their motives and methods, as new information raises troubling questions.
The Washington Post and the New York Times reported Saturday that a lead FBI investigator on the Mueller probe, Peter Strzok, was demoted this summer after it was discovered he’d sent anti- Trump texts to a mistress. As troubling, Mr. Mueller and the Justice Department kept this information from House investigators, despite Intelligence Committee subpoenas that would have exposed those texts. They also refused to answer questions about Mr. Strzok’s dismissal and refused to make him available for an interview.

The news about Mr. Strzok leaked only when the Justice Department concluded it couldn’t hold out any longer, and the stories were full of spin that praised Mr. Mueller for acting “swiftly” to remove the agent. Only after these stories ran did Justice agree on Saturday to make Mr. Strzok available to the House.
This is all the more notable because Mr. Strzok was a chief lieutenant to former FBI Director James Comey and played a lead role investigating alleged coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election. Mr. Mueller then gave him a top role in his special-counsel probe. And before all this Mr. Strzok led the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and sat in on the interview she gave to the FBI shortly before Mr. Comey publicly exonerated her in violation of Justice Department practice.

A Land of Mini-Coups

by Mark Steyn  Steyn on America  December 4, 2017

Following Michael Flynn's guilty plea for "lying to the FBI", there seem likely to be further feverish developments in Robert Mueller's "Russia investigation". Professor William Jacobson asks the obvious question:

Why is Robert Mueller even investigating the presidential transition?
The Order appointing Mueller concerns election interference, not post-election political decisions of the winning candidate.

Indeed. First, it shouldn't be a crime to lie to the FBI given the way the FBI lies to us with impunity. Yours truly thirteen years ago:

Martha, it seems, will be going to jail for telling a lie. Not in court, not under oath, not perjury, but merely when the Feds came round to see her about a possible crime. They couldn't prove she'd committed a crime, so they nailed her for lying while chit-chatting to them about the non-crime. And for that they're prepared to destroy her company.
It's true that it's an offence to lie to the Feds. But, as my New Hampshire neighbours Tom and Scott, currently in my basement stretching out a little light carpentry job to the end of the winter, are the first to point out, the Feds lied to the public about Waco and Ruby Ridge (another bloodbath) for years. If the Feds can lie to the people, why can't the people lie to the Feds?

Martha Stewart wound up behind bars for telling a lie in a matter in which there was no underlying crime. In the case of Flynn, I heard some bigshot in Congress argue that Flynn's lies were somehow "material" to the investigation. But, as Professor Jacobson points out, it's hard to see how Russia can "interfere" with the election after it's been held. Flynn's conversations occurred in his capacity as a senior figure in the incoming administration. That's the normal business of diplomatic relations - and it is most emphatically not the business of minor policemen within a leaky and insecure permanent bureaucracy.

"I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang" - Message is you can't trust Government

I saw this great, 1932 film, on television when I was very young and thought it was a real story about a man railroaded by a crooked government in contemporary times.
It turned out that was a true story, but it took place in the 1920s. 
Unfortunately,not much has changed in that the government had offered the protagonist a pardon if he went back to the chain gang, from which he had escaped a decade before, made good, the was found out, so he wrote exposé articles about Georgia Chain Gangs.
Georgia offered to pardon him if he came back and only served 3 months.
Georgia lied and locked him up for nine more years of his sentence. He escaped again, wrote a book and then the movie was made.
The key point still remained that most of those in government are self interested and mendacious. They are the deep state swamp, not to be trusted! m/r 

Anti-Trump Text Messages Show Pattern Of Bias On Mueller’s Team

by Chuck Ross 12-4-17

Anti-Trump, pro-Hillary Swamp-creatures Strzok and
Mueller

For nearly four months, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office, the Justice Department and the FBI have kept secret the fact that the FBI agent who oversaw the Russia investigation exchanged anti-Trump and pro-Hillary Clinton text messages with an FBI attorney who was also his mistress.
Those messages, the existence of which were revealed in bombshell reports published over the weekend, highlight a pattern of the Mueller team.
Many of Mueller’s prosecutors — it has been extensively reported — have made campaign contributions to Clinton and other Democratic political candidates. And a review by The Daily Caller shows that Mueller lawyers involved in the cases against four Trump associates are Democratic donors.
But Peter Strzok’s text messages — which he exchanged with Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer who worked briefly on the Russia investigation — are perhaps the most significant evidence of anti-Trump bias uncovered so far on the Mueller team.

ABC News suspends Brian Ross for 4 weeks over erroneous Flynn story

by Oliver Darcy   @oliverdarcy December 2, 2017 

ABC News announced Saturday that it has suspended investigative reporter Brian Ross for four weeks without pay after Ross was forced to correct a bombshell on-air report about Michael Flynn.

"We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error we made yesterday. The reporting conveyed by Brian Ross during the special report had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process," ABC said in a statement. "As a result of our continued reporting over the next several hours ultimately we determined the information was wrong and we corrected the mistake on air and online."

"It is vital we get the story right and retain the trust we have built with our audience -- these are our core principles," the statement added. "We fell far short of that yesterday."

Citing a single anonymous source, Ross told viewers during an ABC special report on Friday morning that Flynn was prepared to testify that Donald Trump, as a candidate for president, told him to contact Russians.

Byron York: Nunes blows up, threatens contempt after FBI stonewalls House on Russia investigator demoted for anti-Trump bias

by Byron York | Dec 2, 2017

"By hiding from Congress, and from the American people, documented political bias by a key FBI head investigator for both the Russia collusion probe and the Clinton email investigation, the FBI and DOJ engaged in a willful attempt to thwart Congress' constitutional oversight responsibility," Nunes said in a statement Saturday afternoon.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has issued an angry demand to the FBI and Department of Justice to explain why they kept the committee in the dark over the reason Special Counsel Robert Mueller kicked a key supervising FBI agent off the Trump-Russia investigation.
Stories in both the Washington Post and New York Times on Saturday reported that Peter Strzok, who played a key role in the original FBI investigation into the Trump-Russia matter, and then a key role in Mueller's investigation, and who earlier had played an equally critical role in the FBI's Hillary Clinton email investigation, was reassigned out of the Mueller office because of anti-Trump texts he exchanged with a top FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having an extramarital affair. Strzok was transferred to the FBI's human resources office — an obvious demotion -- in July.

The Post reported that Strzok and Page exchanged text messages that "expressed anti-Trump sentiments and other comments that appeared to favor Clinton."

An Indelible Statement - Hard to Refute

Tattoos have expressed many things over the centuries from fearsome and ritual identification to to lover of mother. Many were the result of poor judgement from intoxication and others by a strange desire for masochistic pain with visible proof. Many women today treat their skin as a permanent canvas. Now we have a tattoo that has taken on the status of a quasi-legal document. What is society to do wit this new dilemma? m/r

Miami doctors face dilemma over 'Do Not Resuscitate' tattoo

Doctors faced ethical, medical conundrums

By AJ WILLINGHAM , CNN    Posted: December 01, 2017

(CNN) - Picture this: A man is admitted to the hospital, unconscious, with a history of serious health problems and a high blood alcohol level. He has no identification and no family with him. On his chest, he has a tattoo: "Do Not Resuscitate."
What would you do?  
It sounds like a worst-case-scenario question from a medical ethics course, but it really happened recently at a Florida hospital. A newly published study in The New England Journal of Medicine explored the ethical and medical conundrums the staff faced when presented with a 70-year-old patient whose denial of potentially life-saving treatment was right there on his skin.

A Profound Miscarriage of Justice

by Mark Steyn  Steyn on Fox November 30, 2017

On Thursday night Mark joined Tucker Carlson on Fox News. A few moments before airtime, the Kate Steinle verdict came through, and they switched their topic to cover the breaking news: Two years ago Miss Steinle was shot dead while walking with her father in San Francisco. There is no dispute about either the weapon that killed her or the man in whose possession it was. Yet a sanctuary-city jury acquitted him.

Steyn: Steinle verdict was 'miscarriage of justice'
