    Ha-ha! The first thing that crossed my mind was that you were executing a Kamala joke with that 'going down' comment.

    yet the Obamagate gang still violated his rights in order to spy on him and members of the Trump campaign he communicated with,

    I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like Clinesmith will be the fall guy for Comey and the higher-ups at FBI.

    Accepting one count to avoid several counts.....

    The National Security Division (NSD) inside the DOJ is where all of the collaboration regarding the Russia-Trump-dossier took place.
    The NSD is a sub-division within the DOJ similar to the Counterintelligence Division within the FBI.

    There is an abundance of documentation proving that Priestap already lied to Congress during January of 2018.

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wh...-fbi-official-who-wrote-flynn-interview-notes

    Priestap provided most of the information to Weissman who knew that he was using a bogus version of the 302.

    No wonder the DC circuit is holding up Flynn's dismissal.

    If everyone who took a part in the scandal were indicted, it would take years to prosecute.

    89 different individuals committed crimes.

    I'm hoping for Comey, Weissman and Priestap in particular. But reality says that some of these scum bags will simply walk away unscathed and on to cushy token jobs in the private sector.

    Comey et al better be hoping he'll be the fall guy but would also suggest this guy thinking what do I owe them I'm making a deal. And then others thinking the same thing.

    And MSNBC and CNN talk shows ignore the story

    "However, despite MSNBC covering the expected guilty plea earlier in the day, Maddow completely avoided the subject during her primetime show....

    ...Late last year, Maddow similarly failed to mention the damning abuses of the highly controversial FISA application process uncovered by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz in her exclusive sitdown with ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who earlier this year became an MSNBC contributor.

    Maddow isn't the only cable news personality to ignore Clinesmith's guilty plea during primetime. CNN's Anderson Cooper ignored the major news during his two hours on air. His colleague Don Lemon did the same in the 10 p.m. timeslot.

    Among the evening broadcast programs, "NBC Nightly News" also skipped the FBI controversy while ABC's "World News Tonight" and the "CBS Evening News" addressed it.

    This is Major Stuff, EB.

    Expect an Unending Series of High-Profile Roger Stone-style arrests of the Entire Obama Administration.

    I just hope than when Barack Obama is arrested, that (after the Perp Walk} he is allowed bail.

    The government needs to give him enough time to settle his affairs (before he faces a certain Federal Death Penalty Case).

    RIP Barack, we hardly knew ye.

    Amazing that with all the seriousness you took the phoney Russiagate investigation you make light of this very serious matter.

    I am not "making light" of anything.

    I am 100% in favor of anyone (against whom criminal charges can be proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, in a court of law) facing the full extent of justice.

    However, in determining that fact-finding (in a court of law) I would require a higher evidentiary standard than "Durham found that Alex Jones told Bat Boy about Hunter Biden Pizzagate Dossier".

    These "crimes" need to actually be PROVEN.

    And, not "exist" only as some sort of "Unprovable Conspiracy".

    For example, the whole Fantastical Concept of "Obamagate" is a Complete Joke.

    That wasn't the point. He was merely an entry way.

    They are admitting that they are nothing more than shameless propagandists with national microphones that they claim to hold in order to report "news". I've never seen a profession throw away it's credibility this completely this quickly. Just 4 years ago we were all somewhat shocked when Trump described them as "Fake News". Now four years later it's painfully obviously that he was completely correct in his assessment.

    IT BEGINS: Kevin Clinesmith, a former top lawyer in James Comey’s FBI, pleaded guilty on Friday to falsifying a federal spy warrant against Carter Page.

    Flashback, InstaPundit March 2017:

    Hypothesis: The spying-on-Trump thing is worse than we even imagine, and once it was clear Hillary had lost and it would inevitably come out, the Trump/Russia collusion talking point was created as a distraction.”​

    They used a lot of run arounds in the scam of a century, for example Strozok's text that confirmed they had a warrant on Flynn, he wasn't "unmasked".

    Which is worth an entire investigation on what kind of warrant, what evidence was used and was there full disclosure? Was Flynn ever even made aware that he was under surveillance?

    They're happy in that it got to a declared ally of orange man bad, but the truth is these violations of basic human rights should be chilling.

    The only permissable way for human rights to be violated in this country are search/arrest warrants and a conviction among your peers. Crossfire Hurricane never met these standards.

    Obama/Biden, the most corrupt Administration in American History.
    https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/1...r-page-fisa-warrant-expected-to-plead-guilty/

    And what was the FBI "resisting"? The Choice of the US Electorate. Comey presided over the most corrupt FBI in American History, despite the howls from the Left, Trump, once again, was right about Comey.

    Ready to take lying and corruption to the next level!​

    She argued, as CA AG, that adding a fake confession to the end of a interview transcript was NOT Outrageous and Unethical Behavior. Why no, Outrageous and Unethical would be beating him with radiator hoses, and that wasn't being alleged!

    That's who we want running the FBI/DOJ/CIA and submitting spying application to FISA in order to Spy On Political Opponents and the American People?

    Trump has been right, on all of this, the entire time.
