President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey


President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said.

"The president has accepted the recommendation of the Attorney General and the deputy Attorney General regarding the dismissal of the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Sean Spicer told reporters in the briefing room.

The firing came just after the FBI confirmed Comey provided erroneous testimony to a Senate panel about how Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin handled classified emails.

FBI's Comey: It makes me 'mildly nauseous' to think I may have affected election


FBI Director James Comey told a Senate committee Wednesday he stands behind his letter that shook up the final days of last year's presidential election — and he would do it again.

Still, he said his decision to tell Congress that the FBI had found new emails that could be relevant to Hillary Clinton's private email server was not an easy one.

"This was terrible. It makes me mildly nauseous to think we might have had some impact on the election," Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I would make the same decision."

At the panel's routine hearing on oversight, the FBI director was grilled about the investigations into alleged Russian meddling in the election and into Clinton's use of a private email server at the State Department. Some Republicans defended Comey's actions and pressed him to reveal what evidence underpins accusations of Trump campaign contacts with Russia.

While the campaign was still ongoing, Comey did not reveal the existence of the Russia probe, but he did tell Congress that the FBI discovered thousands of messages from the Clinton email domain on the computer of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, who was married to Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Democrats repeatedly questioned the FBI director about his decision-making process when he sent the letter on Oct. 28, just days before the election.

McMaster has been violating security protocols by leaking classified info to Petraeus who previously had his security clearance pulled. McMaster will be gone in time.

Paul Ryan will be gone too, it will take a little longer than I had hoped though.

What investigation? What law was broken? Looking at former campaign affiliates is not an investigation into the Trump admin. Trump himself is not under investigation as confirmed by Comey and has been confirmed multiple times already there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and a Russian influence campaign.

Good thing Comey is out. This guy is slimy.

I hope Hillary to be on trial soon so The Count can go to hell. Where is the rule of law in this country? Everybody should ask Trump about that.

Comey heard the news while giving a speech

Mr. Comey was addressing a group of F.B.I. employees in Los Angeles when a television in the background flashed the news that he had been fired.

In response, Mr. Comey laughed, saying he thought it was a fairly funny prank.

Then his staff started scurrying around in the background and told Mr. Comey that he should step into a nearby office.

Mr. Comey stopped addressing the group. He proceeded to shake hands with the employees he had been speaking to. Then he stepped into a side office, where he confirmed that he had been fired. At that point, he had not heard from the White House.

Shortly thereafter, a letter from Mr. Trump was delivered to the F.B.I.’s headquarters, just seven blocks from the White House.

Mr. Comey’s day had begun in Florida, where he spoke to a group of police officers. He then flew to Los Angeles, where he was also scheduled to speak at a diversity meeting.

Exactly . . . along with Susan Rice and Loretta Lynch now too.

This is now playing very Nixon-esque.

Special Prosecutor needs to be the next Congress move.

Find all the rest of Hilly's deleted emails off the Denver server she used and went rogue with . . .

I'll ask Huma why did she want the photocopies . . . leaving a trail like that for an October surprise, or,
as blackmail for Hillary if November 8th turned out differenty - why the photocopies Huma ?
Trump got the primary defendant to admit the "mistake" in debate even LOL

Hillary gets investigated as Russian hacking of DNC told US voters of the "cheating" (?)



Lock who up

And for what?

Rice or Lynch leads to an Obama WH "HR Haldeman" ?

But yes, your questions begs for a Special Prosecutor for jus' how far up the food chain this all is gonna go, eh ?
Comey knows a hell of a lot that went on, of course. He has to be a witness now.

Forgetting implies they were paying attention in the first place. They aren't hypocrites or clever liars. They aren't practicing or preaching anything, and thus there's no contradiction.

The mob that the statists and globalists have whipped into a frenzy are mindless zombie-nazi's who feel hate and spew it out like the possessed demons they are. Unless you behave and act just like them you are a target for brain eating.

There is no left or right. There are thinking men, and there are men who are in various stages of infection due to exposure from the nazi-zombie virus.

(Daily Caller - 5/10/17 - by Amber Athey)

Sen. Rand Paul is sick of Democrats acting “holier than thou” over the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, and he argued on CNN Wednesday that many of them wanted the law enforcement official ousted much sooner.

Host Wolf Blitzer first asked the Kentucky Republican why Trump didn’t fire Comey sooner into his presidency.

“I think the same people who criticize him now would have also said, ‘well, he didn’t go through any deliberative process,'” Paul said. “I think it took a long time mainly because Democrats opposed approving [the attorney general and deputy attorney general.”

Paul then slammed Democrats for their “crocodile tears” over the firing.

“I think it’s kind of crocodile tears now for the Democrats…they’ve been haranguing and saying [Comey] cost them the election — they’ve been calling for his head for months.”

“When it finally happens they’re all holier than thou and this is Watergate? That’s ridiculous,” Paul asserted.

Maxine Waters: I Don't Support Trump Firing Comey, I Would Support Hillary Clinton Firing Comey


PETER ALEXANDER, NBC NEWS: You obviously have been very critical of James Comey in the past. You said that he had no credibility. I assume you support the president's decision then to fire his FBI director.

REP. MAXINE WATERS (D-CA): No, I do not necessarily support the president's decision.

If the president had not gone all over the country praising him about the way he handled Hillary and the e-mails, if the president had not said he had confidence in him, if the president had not said he was a part of his team --

ALEXANDER: But Congresswoman, I understand in the past he was praising him. But if you said that FBI Director James Comey had no credibility, wouldn't you support the fact that the president, then-candidate Trump, now president Trump, made the decision to get rid of him?

WATERS: No, not necessarily.

ALEXANDER: Why not?

WATERS: You have an investigation going on where the president is implicated. And this is a serious investigation. I've been trying on get people to focus this connection with the Kremlin and with Putin. I have a resolution that I introduced in February. I think there's enough there that we know about the Kremlin and about Putin to be concerned about whether or not there was collusion. I believe there was --

ALEXANDER: So to be clear --

WATERS: And that I believe they should have to connect the dots and get the facts because I think it will lead to the impeachment of this president.

ALEXANDER: So, Congresswoman, respecting that be to be clear, you believe it would have been better to keep in place an FBI Director who you said had no credibility to oversee this investigation than to find someone who you think would be a better choice.

WATERS: No. But I believe the president thought that. Don't forget. You're talking about what some Democrats said, what I said, but don't forget. He was the president. The president supported him. He had confidence in him. It was within his power.

ALEXANDER: But you said he had no credibility so it would make sense that he get rid of him.

WATERS: No, no, no. Under investigation. This president basically has interfered with an investigation where he may be implicated. That's outrageous. And that's why we're having so much of a conversation about it today. Everybody is talking about it because this is highly unusual.

ALEXANDER: The bottom line is you think an FBI director without credibility would have been best served in this position to try to pursue this investigation.

WATERS: I think that if the president would have fired him when he first came in, he would not have to be in a position now where he is trying to make up a story about why. It does not meet the smell test.


Waters said she would support Clinton if she fired Comey:

ALEXANDER: Understood. So if Hillary Clinton had won the White House, would you have recommended that she fire FBI Director James Comey?

WATERS: Well, let me tell you something. If she had won the White House, I believe that given what he did to her, and what he tried to do, she should have fired him. Yes.

ALEXANDER: So she should have fired him but had he shouldn't fire him. This is why I'm confused.

WATERS: No, you're not confused. If the president is implicated in an investigation --

ALEXANDER: I am confused.

WATERS: -- the president of the United States who has a history of firing people who get close to, you know, him and his allies like Flynn, and like Miss Yates, he will fire them if he believes somehow they're getting too close to him in these investigations. I believe that the president of the United States should not have done this in the middle of an investigation. That's it.

Wow, great job, someone got him on a technicality and you copy pasted it.. but in the end, Cernovich is still right and you are still wrong.

In that video he claimed that Flynn asked for immunity because he thought they might frame him, because he is an enemy of the deep state, not because he was scared he did anything wrong.

Currently, he is saying that Susan Rice is asking for immunity because she is scared because she did something wrong.

In the first scenario, he is referring to someone who is an enemy of the state.

In the second scenario, he is referring to someone who was being protected by the state.

These are two vastly different scenarios.

They were waiting for the appointment of Rosenstein for awhile. Comey has been dead man walking for months.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-to-fire-comey-trump-team-waited-for-rosenstein/article/2622655


First, it took a long time to get an attorney general in office. Facing Democratic opposition, Jeff Sessions, one of the president's first nominees, was not confirmed by the Senate until Feb. 8. Then, it took a long time to get a deputy attorney general in place. Rod Rosenstein, the deputy — and the man who wrote the rationale for axing Comey — faced similar Democratic delays and was not sworn in until April 26.

Only after Rosenstein was in place did the Trump team move ahead. That was true not only for chain-of-command reasons but also — probably more importantly — because Rosenstein had the bipartisan street cred to be able to be the point man in firing Comey. Even though his confirmation was delayed, Rosenstein was eventually confirmed by the Senate by a 94 to 6 vote, meaning that the vast majority of Democratic senators voted for him along with all of the Republicans.

How important was the arrival of Rosenstein to the bid to fire Comey? This, from a source in a Senate office Wednesday morning: "Many who are suggesting that there's something nefarious about the timing of the Comey firing are likely missing the fact that DAG Rosenstein was sworn in two weeks ago (April 26), and that the FBI Director reports to the DAG on the DOJ org chart. It seems completely normal that the DAG would review their top reports within the first couple weeks of starting."

Discount the part about "completely normal" — firing the FBI director, who has a ten-year term and was conducting a high-profile investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election that touches on the president, was not a routine act. The point is, it took the arrival of Rosenstein to do it.

Trump's ego may be even too big for the Deep State to massage. Chalk up this personality attribute as one for the good guys.

You would think the Deep State would quit while they have Trump relatively under control. But no, they have to try to for the knockout, instead of riding out the good days.

I used to like to keep up to date watching The Daily Show and Colbert Report every night. Once they left Comedy Central, the replacements were unbearable. Colbert became unbearable when he moved to CBS. Only Kimmel was worth watching at times, and now he has jumped the shark too. Now there is no late night that is not "60 Minutes of Leftist Hate".

[AuH20]

Why would the Deep State need to get him under control? He's been 1000% with them all along.

Partially and mostly relegated to foreign policy. He's still adamant about building the wall and reviving the moribund job market. They still don't trust him, especially since they have a detailed psychological profile on him. If they were smart, they'd enjoy the fruits of their takeover and stop pushing him to completely rebel. This nonstop stealth operation to impeach could unleash a savage animal upon D.C., and I for one, welcome it.

Well one thing is clear...Trump will go out on his own terms, sink or swim. He danced to "My Way" by Sinatra at the inauguration..and actually sang along. He's Kim Jon Il with checks and balances in the way. This is what got him here and he is going to keep doing it. Don't like being investigated- just fire the investigators. Don't like media coverage, fire the media. If there's an impeachment hearing he'd call it off and declare himself dictator. If it sounds crazy or impossible, so did his campaign.

The Democrats should be ashamed. This is a disgrace! #DrainTheSwamp

[milgram]

I forgot that only one person voted against Comey's confirmation

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/senate-confirms-comey-fbi-director-93-1-vote-f6C10790754


The Senate on Monday confirmed James Comey as the seventh director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with a 93-1 vote.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted "no," becoming the first senator to vote against an FBI director since the death of J. Edgar Hoover in 1972.

Two senators — Oregon Democrats Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden — voted "present."

All other confirmed FBI directors were approved by the Senate either by unanimous consent or with no dissenting votes. Two nominees were withdrawn by the presidents who picked them — L. Patrick Gray, nominated by President Richard Nixon, was implicated in the Watergate scandal, while Frank M. Johnson, selected by President Jimmy Carter, withdrew because of a health problem.

Paul opposed Comey's nomination because of concerns about the FBI's use of drone surveillance over U.S. soil. He received a letter from the FBI on Monday, a second round of correspondence that prompted him to drop his objections to Comey's nomination and allow the Senate to vote to confirm him.

The FBI responded to his initial query with details of the drone program, saying earlier this month that they had used drones over American soil a total of 10 times.

Paul wrote back asking about whether or not the FBI needed a warrant to conduct such surveillance.

On Monday, Paul received a second letter back from the FBI. In that letter, the FBI said that while the Supreme Court has never directly considered drone use in this context, there are cases that say there's no reasonable expectation of privacy because the areas observed were open to public view.

The FBI also argued that using drones does not represent physical trespass.

The law enforcement agency also said that long term surveillance of a person in public space could amount to a search as defined by the Fourth Amendment and indicated they do not use drones to surveil Americans in the long term. "We do not use UAVs to conduct such surveillance," they said.

Paul said he disagreed with this interpretation but lifted the hold because they responded.

In a statement after Comey's confirmation, President Obama said he "applaud[ed] the overwhelming, bipartisan majority of Senators who today confirmed Jim Comey to be the next director of the FBI," but he noted that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has also not had a confirmed director for years.

"I urge the Senate to swiftly confirm Todd Jones, my nominee to lead the ATF, so that he and his team can do their part to keep American families safe," Obama said.

[Firestarter]

FBI-director Comey was fired on the recommendation of Jeff Sessions.
Hillary Clinton and Anthony Weiner must be terrified by now...

Looking at the track record of Donald Trump, we can expect him to appoint an even bigger scumbag; see the following quotes from another thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?499034-Boycott-the-elections/page4



ALEX ACOSTA
Most people thought Donald Trump couldn’t do it. But against all odds he picks an even bigger scumbag than Andrew Puzder for Secretary of Labor - Alexander Acosta
In 2008 no other than Alexander Acosta as US Attorney made the sweet deal with Jeffrey Epstein. Here is the deal in all glory: http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/palmbeachpost/news/S60BW-109091810400.pdf

Not only did Epstein receive a very mild sentence, but it also immunised several of the paedophiles that used the “services” of Epstein’s sex ring.
In 2011, Acosta wrote a letter in which he defended this decision:
"Our judgment in this case, based on the evidence that was known at the time, was that it was better to have a billionaire serve time in jail, register as a sex offender and pay his victims restitution than risk a trial with a reduced likelihood of success. I supported that judgment then, and based on the state of the law as it then stood and the evidence known at the time, I would support that judgment again".
In the 2011 letter, Acosta agreed that the work release seemed "highly unusual treatment" that "undermined the purpose of a jail sentence".

At his senate confirmation hearing, Alexander Acosta was supposedly “grilled” by the Democrooks; where he described the secret non-prosecution deal with Jeffrey Epstein as “a good thing”.
According to Acosta, the state had been outmatched by Epstein, whose attorneys launched "a year-long assault" on prosecutors “more aggressive” than any Acosta had previously encountered. Including following witnesses and discrediting victims by offering their social media profiles: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article136073328.html

Any idea what would happen if some small time drug dealer would harass witnesses or law enforcement agents?
Acosta’s office didn’t file a pair of obstruction of justice charges against Epstein. The first for harassing 2 of his personal assistants to thwart FBI agents from serving investigation subpoenas. The second for dissuading a female victim from talking with agents.
But of course for billionaire pervert Epstein and his friends the laws do not apply.
Kent Frank, 50, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Alex Acosta declared in a news release that society “cannot permit such individuals to seek sanctuary in our community (…)
We will prosecute sexual abuse of children aggressively, both when the targets are children in our community and when the defendants travel to target children abroad”.
Kent Frank 40 years, Jeffrey Epstein 56 days…

Acosta was head of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice during the Bush administration. Between 2003 and 2005, the Department of Justice Inspector General let Bradley Schlozman do the hiring. Under Acosta’s watch, Schlozman illegally purged “liberal” attorneys in favour of hiring more conservative, “real Americans” (Schlozman’s words).
Acosta agreed this “conduct should have never happened, I deeply regret it”: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/22/trump-nominee-lax-deal-for-billionaire-pedo-jeffrey-epstein-was-a-good-thing.html

Acosta also oversaw the settlement with UBS, a bank from Switzerland which helped 20,000 Americans with assets of about $20 billion evade taxes.
The bank paid $780 million and agreed to hand over the names of “some of their clients”: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/18/AR2009021802541.html



US attorney general Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III is another lawyer, who is under scrutiny because he blatantly lied about his ties to Russia.
At the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing in January, Senator Al Franken asked Sessions what he would do as Attorney General "if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign".
Sessions replied: that he was “not aware of any of those activities” and “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it".
On January 17, Session repeated in reply to written questions from Senator Pat Leahy, that he had no contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government regarding the 2016 election.
On March 1, Sessions came under scrutiny after it became public knowledge public that he did have contact with the Russian government officials. Apparently Sessions had met the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, twice during Trump’s campaign (the ambassador that repeatedly discussed with Michael Flynn), once at the Republican National Convention in July, and again in his Senate office in September.
On March 1, Sessions replied to this (false?) news with "I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false".
Yeah sure - they weren’t talking about “the campaign”...
Sessions had already started a nice “investigation” of the alleged interference of Russia in the presidential election, but on March 2, announced that he would “recuse” himself from these investigations: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/opinion/jeff-sessions-had-no-choice.html?_r=0

There is more dirt on Jeff Sessions, he has been accused of being racist, violating human rights and using his office to attack Democrats, opponents for political reasons (including revenge).
When I look at recent stories about Sessions’ racism, they look sugar coated, but older articles are much harsher.
In 1986, Sessions was nominated by Reagan as judge of the US District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, but his nomination failed due to criticism of his record on civil rights and racism.
In March 1986 the widow of Martin Luther King, Loretta Scott King, sent a letter opposing the appointment of Sessions as Judge on the District Court, because “Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters”.
The most damaging statements came from the black Thomas Figures that had worked for Sessions, who testified that Sessions repeatedly called him “boy” and told him to “be careful what you say to white folks”.
Figures also told about an instance when Sessions was discussing the civil Hodge case with Figures and told him that “I wish I could decline on all of them". Figures understood that Sessions wanted to decline civil rights cases in general.
J. Gerald Hebert, a senior civil rights attorney at the Department of Justice, testified that Sessions had described a white attorney as a “disgrace to his race” for working with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Hebert also claimed, that Sessions had called various civil rights organisations, including the National Council of Churches and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference: “un-American”.

Hebert was threatened by Alabama senator Jeremiah Denton, a close ally to Sessions, to help him get appointed as US District Court: “He said that I’d better get out there and straighten up this nomination, or else I might find myself packing my bags when I got back to the justice department”.

In 1990, after departing Sessions’ office and returning to private practice, Figures was defending a civil rights activist accused of dealing crack cocaine. A drug dealer, John Christopher, was expected to testify against Figures’ client. Figures went to see Christopher in jail, unaware that Christopher was offered a deal to set Figures up, and was wearing a wire. Christopher asked Figures to pay him $50,000 to stop him from testifying. Figures didn´t decline this offer. Figures later testified at his trial that he did this so he could have Christopher charged with attempted bribery.
In 1992, Figures was charged with attempting to bribe Christopher by offering $50,000. Figures faced a potential 15-year prison sentence and $250,000 fine if convicted, but was acquitted in March 1993.
Douglas Wicks, a former Mobile County commissioner, spent more than 5 years in prison after being convicted on charges that were brought against him by Sessions a few months after he had accused Sessions of calling him a “******”. According to Wicks: “]Sessions decided to go after me because he didn’t get the federal judgeship[/I]”.
A businessman was sent into Wicks’ office by the FBI, wearing a wire, and recorded Wicks saying that he welcomed campaign contributions. The businessman was seeking a waste haulage contract from the county. Sessions accused Wicks of taking $3,000 in cash that the businessman had left in an envelope on his desk. Wicks denied that he ever saw this envelope: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/22/jeff-sessions-racism-retaliation-donald-trump-douglas-wicks-thomas-figures

Another interesting case is that in 1985, Sessions accused 3 black civil rights activists, known as the Marion Three, for voter fraud. This included Martin Luther King’s former aide Albert Turner. The defendants were accused of tampering with absentee ballots in the 1984 primary election. They charged them with violations of federal mail fraud statutes.
What makes this affair seem racist is that in 1982, Sessions was asked by then-District Attorney Roy L. Johnson to investigate voting irregularities including interference with absentee ballots in Perry County. In 1983, a majority-black state grand jury found that the right of black Perry County citizens to vote had been tampered with — and asked the federal government to intervene. But Sessions did not investigate that case.
The Marion Three were acquitted of all charges: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/11/28/the-facts-about-the-voter-fraud-case-that-sunk-jeff-sessionss-bid-for-a-judgeship/?utm_term=.c4ca08c074a0

There are other accusations against Sessions. The following story accuses Session of charging Democrats for political reasons, including: Lambert Mims, Bob Gulledge, and Gary Greenough.
Gurney Owens alleged that after he had been caught on tape soliciting a bribe from a local businessman he was offered a deal if he would frame some Democrats. Owens didn’t play along and was sentenced to 10 years in prison: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/04/jeff-sessions-legal-past-democrats-trump-administration
In my opinion this last story doesn’t prove that all of these “Democrats” were innocent, but it does show how corrupt lawyers (like Sessions) use their position to help their “friends”.

Ya except Trump is smart. If he fired Comey on day one, they would have held that over his head when the Russian stuff came up, they would have said he fired Comey so he wouldn't be investigated. Instead he gave him over 3 months, they came up with ZERO evidence and Comey stated three times Trump wasn't under investigation. That way anybody who claims he fired him to protect himself, rather than firing him to get a more effective director, would be seen as kinda looney.

What I'm hearing from the left now is that the FBI was "days" away from finding SOME evidence that Trump's team was involved with Russia. Um, how the fuck would they know that? Sounds like a baseless theory. But if that's the case, then that evidence should still be found. It's not like the FBI turns off the lights and goes home when the Director gets fired. They are still working, still investigating. But you know what they are going to find? Nothing.

Ya that is expected but it makes them look crazy, Trump gave them three months and they still came up with nothing, sensible people are asking "Where's the beef??" The media has been going at it for months and not provided a shred of evidence.

I gotta agree with this. The Dems hated Comey at that point for his investigation into her server. It wouldn't have given him a ratings boost, but it would have been lost in the mix condemnations of the new administration.

I listened to it and I couldn't tell if they were serious or pulling my legs. Did Alex Jones just allow that Mike guy to continue to talk after he said those people at the agents at the FBI have a good reputation (something like that). Alex Jones is supposed to be the same guy who raised a lot of hell with the FBI after the Okhlahoma bombing. These people think the agents at the FBI are good people and its just the admin who is corrupt.

Gotta love how they hide the fact that a video is Molyneux droning until you click it..

[Mordan]

Ya except Trump is smart. If he fired Comey on day one, they would have held that over his head when the Russian stuff came up, they would have said he fired Comey so he wouldn't be investigated. Instead he gave him over 3 months, they came up with ZERO evidence and Comey stated three times Trump wasn't under investigation. That way anybody who claims he fired him to protect himself, rather than firing him to get a more effective director, would be seen as kinda looney.

What I'm hearing from the left now is that the FBI was "days" away from finding SOME evidence that Trump's team was involved with Russia. Um, how the $#@! would they know that? Sounds like a baseless theory. But if that's the case, then that evidence should still be found. It's not like the FBI turns off the lights and goes home when the Director gets fired. They are still working, still investigating. But you know what they are going to find? Nothing.

This video would make you empty your bank account on Stefan. This is the video where he makes the case that historical facts DOES NOT MATTER. Only principles matter. So for example, if I said your white ancestors rapes and killed 500 million Africans and stole their super technology to build western Europe. Stefan says that facts does not matter and we shouldn't quibble on detail(aka facts). The principle of enslaving people is what we should be focused on because after all, the right principles will prevent the real truth of slavery and my made up version of slavery from happening.

What a beautiful mind that Stefan has. If he was a snake oil sales man, he would sell out his inventory to gullible people in minutes.

http://bigleaguepolitics.com/whistleblowers-james-comey-seized-buried-information-showing-donald-trumps-phone-calls-spied-audio/


Big League Politics has learned that Larry Klayman, attorney for former NSA and CIA contractor and whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, delivered to the FBI 47 hard drives and data amounting to more than 600 million pages of documentation on the surveillance scheme. Then-FBI director James Comey’s general counsel James Baker took the data into his possession, according to multiple sources. But despite possessing Montgomery’s bombshell whistleblower revelations, Comey never acted on or publicized the information.

Additionally, Comey’s former firm Lockheed Martin granted entry to Montgomery to one of its facilities to help him work on the alleged mass surveillance program, which was allegedly overseen by Obama administration officials John Brennan and James Clapper and specifically targeted Trump.

As Big League Politics recently reported: real estate mogul Timothy Blixseth claims that he saw records from Montgomery proving that Obama CIA director John Brennan oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape of an interview Blixseth gave –released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow as part of a civil case — is presented below.

In the audiotaped interview — conducted before Trump ever ran for president — Blixseth spoke to former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and detective Mike Zullo. The audio was released in connection with a civil contempt case that the Department of Justice filed against Arpaio. The audio of this conversation appears to only be preserved in one location on the Internet, on a whistleblower Soundcloud page.

“This guy showed me 900 million phone calls. And I see myself in there. I see people I know. I see Donald Trump in there a zillion times, and Bloomberg is in there,” Blixseth said on the tape, referring to information that Montgomery allegedly showed him.

Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation

WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

Mr. Comey shared the existence of the memo with senior F.B.I. officials and close associates. The New York Times has not viewed a copy of the memo, which is unclassified, but one of Mr. Comey’s associates read parts of the memo to a Times reporter.

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey, according to the memo. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey that Mr. Flynn had done nothing wrong, according to the memo.

Mr. Comey did not say anything to Mr. Trump about curtailing the investigation, only replying: “I agree he is a good guy.”

In a statement, the White House denied the version of events in the memo.

“While the president has repeatedly expressed his view that General Flynn is a decent man who served and protected our country, the president has never asked Mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation, including any investigation involving General Flynn,” the statement said. “The president has the utmost respect for our law enforcement agencies, and all investigations. This is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the president and Mr. Comey.”

In testimony to the Senate last week, the acting F.B.I. director, Andrew G. McCabe, said, “There has been no effort to impede our investigation to date.”

Mr. McCabe was referring to the broad investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. The investigation into Mr. Flynn is separate.

A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment.

Mr. Comey created similar memos — including some that are classified — about every phone call and meeting he had with the president, the two people said. It is unclear whether Mr. Comey told the Justice Department about the conversation or his memos.

Mr. Trump fired Mr. Comey last week. Trump administration officials have provided multiple, conflicting accounts of the reasoning behind Mr. Comey’s dismissal. Mr. Trump said in a television interview that one of the reasons was because he believed “this Russia thing” was a “made-up story.”

The Feb. 14 meeting took place just a day after Mr. Flynn was forced out of his job after it was revealed he had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of phone conversations he had had with the Russian ambassador to the United States.

Despite the conversation between Mr. Trump and Mr. Comey, the investigation of Mr. Flynn has proceeded. In Virginia, a federal grand jury has issued subpoenas in recent weeks for records related to Mr. Flynn. Part of the Flynn investigation is centered on his financial ties to Russia and Turkey.

Mr. Comey had been in the Oval Office that day with other senior national security officials for a terrorism threat briefing. When the meeting ended, Mr. Trump told those present — including Mr. Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions — to leave the room except for Mr. Comey.

Alone in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump began the discussion by condemning leaks to the news media, saying that Mr. Comey should consider putting reporters in prison for publishing classified information, according to one of Mr. Comey’s associates.

Mr. Trump then turned the discussion to Mr. Flynn.

After writing up a memo that outlined the meeting, Mr. Comey shared it with senior F.B.I. officials. Mr. Comey and his aides perceived Mr. Trump’s comments as an effort to influence the investigation, but they decided that they would try to keep the conversation secret — even from the F.B.I. agents working on the Russia investigation — so the details of the conversation would not affect the investigation.

Mr. Comey was known among his closest advisers to document conversations that he believed would later be called into question, according to two former confidants, who said Mr. Comey was uncomfortable at times with his relationship with Mr. Trump.

‘Enough is enough’: Intel committee’s Schiff calls for Comey to publicly testify on Trump Flynn memos

Ranking Intelligence Committee member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is done with President Donald Trump and wants to see Congress take action.

“I think we know enough now and there has been enough alleged publicly to want to bring the director back to testify, ideally in open session either before our committee or the Judiciary Committee,” Schiff told reporters Tuesday evening.

Schiff also said that Congress should subpoena the notes that Comey took and put in the memo that The New York Times revealed existed. If there are any tapes that recorded the conversation, Schiff also wants to see those released.

How about the next part?


The Times said an associate of Comey's read parts of it to a reporter.

Trump says he "asked" Comey to drop Flynn case.

In the memo, which Comey shared with top FBI associates, the former director wrote that Trump said, "I hope you can let this go," in relation to the inquiry into Flynn's actions.

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” said Trump to Comey, according to the source who read the memo. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

He also tweeted about it.

How about the next part?

They also claim the memo was shared with senior FBI officials. One would assume senior FBI officials would include the Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Andrew McCabe testified to Congress that no interference has occurred to their investigations. So wouldn't he have mentioned this if it was true and likely to become public anyway?

Report of memo just came out and even at that, one would expect the FBI not to comment (which they didn't).


A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment.

Asking to back off an investigation does not quite rise to "interference" in the investigation. Ordering would. When asked before Congress about Comey and Trump he said:


Mr. Warner, the top Democrat on the committee, sought assurances from Mr. McCabe that he would sound the alarm if the White House or others tried to intervene in the investigation into whether any of Mr. Trump’s associates colluded with Russia in its interference in the election.

“While we don’t know how long you will be acting as F.B.I. director, my first questions for you, even in this public setting, will be for you to assure the committee that if you come under any political influence from the White House or others to squash this investigation, or impede it in any way, that you will let this committee know,” said Mr. Warner, who has called the committee’s own inquiry into Russian election interference “probably the most important thing I’ve done in public life.”


Mr. McCabe said he could not comment on any conversations that Mr. Comey might have had with the president.

No... in the NYT story they claim Comey already shared his memos with senior FBI officials prior to his termination. This would include Andrew McCabe. If these memos exist, McCabe would have told congress.

Regardless, Jason Chaffetz has now requested the memos from the FBI. If they do exist or if they are hastily being put together as we speak, we shall see.

McCabe refused to say what contact Trump had with Comey in his testimony before Congress. He did not say there was no contact concerning the issue despite being directly asked to tell them if he was aware of any attempt by Trump to influence the investigation.

Rand said Comey should have been fired- for his actions related to the Clinton investigation. http://www.westernjournalism.com/rand-paul-democrats-thank-trump-firing-comey/


As for the decision to fire Comey, Paul said “it couldn’t happen soon enough” in his mind.

“I’d lost confidence in Comey a long time ago,” Paul said. “I would say that most of America thought he botched the Clinton email scandal. All of the Democrats thought he said too much and all of the Republicans thought he didn’t do enough. So he had the confidence of almost no one. (Senate minority leader) Chuck Schumer said six months ago that he had lost confidence in him.”

Paul said Comey “politicized something by making way too many statements to the press” during the Clinton email probe last year. But it wasn’t the only issue Paul had with Comey.

The Kentucky senator also said the FBI and Comey failed in doing enough to stop the mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando, Fla., last year which left 49 people dead.

“The killer went to buy lots of ammunition and lots of kevlar armor. The gun store owner called the FBI (after the purchase) and they never looked at the security footage and they never presented any images of potential terrorists (to the store owner),” Paul said. “This guy was a potential terrorist and had been investigated for two years. All they had to do was show an array of photos to the gun store owner weeks in advance of the killing and they might have stopped this. But the FBI, including Comey, refused to take any responsibility for their missteps.”

Rand knows who controls D.C. with an iron fist and it's certainly not Trump. He will ride with Trump hoping for Trump's legendary temper to result in a massive conflagration. Rand saw firsthand how Daddy was abused by the very same scumbags for decades. He's kept the scorecard in his head.

[r3volution 3.0]

He will ride with Trump hoping for Trump's temper to result in a massive conflagration.

Not exactly

He'll "ride with Trump" (i.e. humor him) until such time as Trump's leftism and general idiocy becomes common knowledge, at which point he and other principled politicians (so, maybe Massie, Jones, and Amash...) will break hard. The Freedom Caucus rebellion of last month will be peanuts compared to what happens when Trump tries to push through a shitty budget this fall, which he will try to do, sure as the day is long.

Fakenews? Trump Allegedly Urged Comey To Consider Jailing Journalists (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?510680-Fakenews-Trump-Allegedly-Urged-Comey-To-Consider-Jailing-Journalists&)

President Bush had sent NYT's disgraced "journalist" Judith Miller at the peak of Iraq war during CIA leak inquiry, is Trump really thinking of similar drastic steps?
Not clear yet if fakenews or has any basis.

05/16/2017
Frustrated by leaks to the news media, President Donald Trump asked former FBI director James Comey to “consider putting reporters in prison for publishing classified information,” according to the New York Times.

Did President Trump Obstruct Justice?

He may have, legal scholars said cautiously. But further investigations would be necessary to know for sure.

MATT FORD 8:18 PM ET

Tuesday’s bombshell report that President Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey to drop the federal investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn will almost certainly strengthen a growing consensus among legal scholars that the president may have committed obstruction of justice, an impeachable offense.

The New York Times reported Tuesday afternoon that Comey kept memos of conversations he had with Trump, including one of a conversation in which the president allegedly urged the then-director of the FBI to drop the ongoing federal probe into Flynn. Multiple media outlets have reported the investigation is examining Flynn’s conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak as well as the retired general’s foreign sources of income prior to joining the Trump administration.

“[Flynn] is a good guy,” Trump reportedly told Comey in February in the Oval Office after a routine national-security briefing. “I hope you can let this go.” (The White House, for its part, told the Times that description was “not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the president and Mr. Comey.”)

Comey’s memos could bolster calls for an obstruction-of-justice investigation into Trump himself, either by the Justice Department or by Congress. “It helps meet the burden that has to be shown that the president engaged in some kind of misconduct,” said Michael Gerhardt, a University of North Carolina law professor who testified during the Clinton impeachment hearings. “At this point, the burden is shifting over to the president to explain how this might've been done in good faith or how this is not misconduct.”

Wow, I thought this would be just another embarrassment.

...honestly starting to think we're getting into impeachment territory.

Perhaps GOPers would prefer to settle the matter now, rather than in 2020.

FYI, "high crimes and misdemeanors" means exactly what the House says it means; there is no standard.

Pure politics, so, if Trump pisses off enough people...

[nikcers]

“[Flynn] is a good guy,” Trump reportedly told Comey in February in the Oval Office after a routine national-security briefing. “I hope you can let this go.”
Wow- so does that mean Comey was fired in retaliation to Flynn being ousted? Rand Paul made an argument before on one of the shows that people shouldn't leak information and ruin careers because they have a different stance on Israel than the president.
