Top conservative activist calls for Congress to investigate Trump sexual misconduct allegations BY BRANDON CARTER - 12/15/17 11:04 AM EST A top conservative leader is calling on Congress to investigate President Trump for sexual misconduct. Bob Vander Plaats, the president and CEO of conservative group The Family Leader, said the multiple women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct “need to be heard.” "A lot of these ladies came forth in the election, and for whatever reason, the American people said 'we're going to give the presidency to Donald Trump,’ ” Vander Plaats said in an interview on Iowa Public Radio. “That doesn't mean their issue went away because he became president." "I think if these ladies need to be heard on this — and I think they probably should be heard, then let's let the facts play out,” he continued. “I don't think it should be really dismissed.” Vander Plaats also told IPR that he supports a Congressional investigation into the accusations against Trump. The conservative leader endorsedSen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the 2016 presidential race.Vander Plaats’s comments come after three women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct united for a joint news conference Monday, calling on Congress to investigate the allegations against him. "If they were willing to investigate Sen. [Al] Franken [D-Minn.], it’s only fair that they do the same for Trump,” Rachel Crooks, one of the president’s accusers, said at the press conference. Crooks alleged Trump forcibly kissed her 12 years ago at Trump Tower, where she worked as a receptionist. On Tuesday, the day after the press conference, Trump took to Twitter to claim he didn’t know the women and blast their “false accusations.” “Despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions of dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia - so now they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don’t know and/or have never met,” Trump tweeted. “FAKE NEWS!” At least 16 women during the 2016 presidential campaign accused Trump of sexually harassing or assaulting them. Trump has denied all of the allegations, and the White House has said its official position on the accusations is that all the women are lying. thehill.com

Ex-FBI Assistant Director: Strzok Fabricated Information And "Belongs In Leavenworth" by Tyler Durden Dec 16, 2017 12:14 PM 0 SHARES Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom called disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok a "total moron" who belongs in Leavenworth federal prison, during a TV appearance on Thursday. James Kallstrom Kallstrom, a former Marine captain and Vietnam veteran, told FBN host Liz MacDonald that if an FBI agent wanted to stop someone from becoming President, "I think he can do what [Strzok] tried to do," adding "He can fabricate things, he can make stuff up, he can lie, he can be a total moron." "You know, he belongs in Leavenworth this guy, in my personal view." Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom on the Peter Strzok anti-Trump texts: "He belongs in Leavenworth. He belongs behind bars. These things cannot happen in a democracy." @FoxBusiness @LizMacDonaldFOX pic.twitter.com/tMkX7wBoA9 — Risk & Reward (@RiskRewardFBN) December 14, 2017 Kallstrom's comments come after two weeks of stunning revelations about the FBI's top brass actively engaging in an effort to help then-candidate Hillary Clinton by "decriminalizing" her actions in the email case, while pursuing a case against then-candidate Donald Trump - using a discredited 34-page 'Trump-Russia' dossier to launch an investigation, according to several GOP members of Congress. When a subset of 10,000 text messages sent between Peter Strzok - lead investigator in the Trump-Russia case, and his FBI-Attorney mistress Lisa Page emerged, GOP lawmakers honed in on a specific exchange in which Strzok references an "insurance policy" in the "unlikely event" Trump was elected President. Now, it appears, that "insurance policy" may have been the entire Russia investigation, cooked up using the Trump-Russia dossier provided by DNC-Clinton funded opposition research firm, Fusion GPS. Fusion has been linked to several attempts to undermine Trump - including hiring Nellie Ohr - the CIA wife of DOJ official Bruce Ohr, who was demoted for obfuscating his meetings with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. Last week, Kallstrom said he believes there is a "Fifth Column conspiracy" within the FBI designed to "destroy President Donald Trump" - and the agency may have committed a "serious felony" in doing so. In an interview last Sunday with radio host John Catsimatidis on 970 AM in New York, Kallstrom said: “Ninety-nine percent of the people in the FBI are doing a fantastic job... It’s a small cabal of people running the FBI, the James Comey sycophants.” “I’m coming more and more to the conclusion that this is a conspiratorial cabal among the fifth column to basically take away the presidency of the United States,” Kallstrom said, adding “This whole thing with Russia is just a farce. If we find out that that phony [Russian dossier] was brought to the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in the form of an affidavit for a judge’s authority, and if we find out that the people signing that affidavit in the bureau knew that that was phony information, that is a serious serious felony.” Listen here:

The Trump administration deplores leaks. The Trump administration leaks all the time. Sarah Isgur Flores, a DOJ spokeswoman, told Politico that the text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were given to key members of the House Judiciary Committee the night before Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's public testimony on Wednesday. what does the Trump admin have to do with these leaks?
