FBI agent removed from Russia probe for anti-Trump texts says he’s willing to testify before Congres

How silly lol

 

He is going to take the blame for the political bias at the FBI. He is the reason they are all taking political bias training classes now.

 

What does "The Resistance" suggest to you? When Strzok says they are going to stop Trump, how should we interpret that?

 

That he saw the evidence and expected a quick resolution. He was wrong.

 

He’s the reason FBI agents have political views? Lol

 

That isn't what the IT report said. They could not find proof of it within the scope of their investigation. That is not an exhonoration.

 

The "evidence"? Like the sort of "evidence" that Robert Mueller is not producing?
Sure Mueller is picking some low hanging fruit. But as far as the charge that Trump was in league with Putin and the Russians?
Like Peter Strzok said...a "nothing burger".

And you still fail to account for The Resistance, by the way.. I'm sure one day you will explain what that is supposed to mean.
When will that be, do you think?

 

Why would he produce evidence when he’s still investigating? That’d be silly.
Resisting a president elected with help from Russia, we should all resisf that.

 

Good for him... I wouldn't think he'd need to take the 5th...

 

So Mueller has produced no evidence of collusion, by your own admission.
Yet you and other sedition enthusiasts know Trump was elected thanks to Russia.

Your story has more holes than a proctologist's waiting room. And they all smell
alike.

 

Trump doesn't even collude with his own party, let alone some friggin russians.

 

Collusion isn’t required for Russia to habe got him elected. The Russian meddling isn’t disputed. Even the orange gameshow host said it was Russia.
And still, we don’t know yet if collusion occurred. Didn’t you tell us that a lack of evidence isn’t proof when the IG report came out? And that was a completed investigation, not an ongoing one.

 

And yet collusion has been the charge and it's why Robert Mueller was appointed to begin with.
If you can demonstrate Russia somehow got Trump elected without his knowledge or cooperation you should say so rather than changing your story every time you tell it.

I can't imagine a context in which I would say a lack of evidence is proof of anything. Sort your story out.

 

Have a backup Bullshit Detector handy - he's gonna destroy your primary before he's done with his opening statement...

 

I don’t know if there was collusion or if it was witting or willing. Lots to unravel.
We do know Russia meddled and trump benefited and that his campaign made it clear they would accept Russia’s help.

 

Wow.

Every other Obama supporter in Washington has either plead the fifth or been given immunity.

 

They have to do something to get the focus off of Dumb Dirty Bob Mueller


Mueller’s Bumbling and Hysterical Special Counsel Team Is Getting Pummeled in Court

Mueller’s lawyers then admitted they don’t even have English translations for the Russian social media posts. So Mueller’s lawyers don’t have English translations to the Russian social media posts but we’re supposed to believe that Americans were influenced by these posts?

Mueller Tries To Indict The Ham Sandwich

Mueller’s corrupt attorney Jeannie Rhee went on to align the 10 Russians identified by the Mueller team as members of an ‘organization’. The Russian company’s attorney responded to the judge who apparently understood that these Russians were all members of Concord Management. He said:

No that’s not correct. The individual defendants? No. It’s not even alleged who they are. They’re alleged to be associated with something called an “organization,” which is a made up thing by the special counsel. They just made it up, and they called it an “organization”. We’re not even alleged to be part of the organization. We’re alleged to have funded it. But those people don’t work for us. It’s not alleged they they work for us.
​

Concord Management team filed a motion against the Mueller team’s protective order request to conceal all data related to their case. The Concord team states in their motion filed June 14th (emphasis added) –

Having produced not one iota of discovery in this criminal case the unlawfully appointed Special Counsel requests a special and unprecedented blanket protective order covering tens of millions of pages of unclassified discovery. Having made this special request based on a secret submission to the Court and a hysterical dithyramb about the future of the American elections, one would think that the Special Counsel would cite to case holdings that support this remarkable request. But no, instead, the Special Counsel seeks to equate this make-believe electioneering case to others involving international terrorism and major drug trafficking, and relies only on irrelevant dicta from inappropriate, primarily out-of-circuit cases. In short, fake law, which is much more dangerous than fake news.

The report says:

Lisa Page, who was Special Counsel to McCabe, became involved in the Midyear investigation after McCabe became the Deputy Director in February 2016. Page told the OIG that part of her function was to serve as a liaison between the Midyear team and McCabe.

Page acknowledged that her role upset senior FBI officials, but told the OIG that McCabe relied on her to ensure that he had the information he needed to make decisions, without it being filtered through multiple layers of management.

Several witnesses told the OIG that Page circumvented the official chain of command, and that Strzok communicated important Midyear case information to her, and thus to McCabe, without Priestap’s or Steinbach’s knowledge. McCabe said that he was aware of complaints about Page, and that he valued her ability to “spot issues” and bring them to his attention when others did not.

McCabe has been the subject of concerns about political bias in the FBI’s handling of the case because of his family’s ties to the Clintons. Around the time of the investigation, McCabe’s wife received $700,000 from Terry McAuliffe, a close friend of the Clintons who ran Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. The money was for McCabe’s wife to run for state senate, an unusual amount of money for that office.

 

"Even you know it's coming"

you do know Strzok was removed right?You don't think that was due to easily verifiable unfounded rumors, do you?

 

Lisa Page is one reason why there needs to be another Special Counsel appointed. That way charges can be applied to her. Then she has to show up to either plead the 5th or defend herself.

 

All we need for that is for a US Attorney to convene a Grand Jury and compel her testimony.

Impeach Rod Rosenstein

How Congress can remind the unelected government it answers to the elected part.



The long-awaited showdown between the Justice Department and Congress is finally here.

Late Friday afternoon, senior congressional leaders and selected committee chairmen quietly met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at a secure location in the basement of the Capitol.

At issue was Justice and FBI’s continuing defiance of congressional subpoenas, topping concerns is the demand from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for documents about why and whether the FBI had an informant insinuating himself with Trump campaign officials before the Russia investigation officially started.

Devin Nunes, Bob Goodlatte, Trey Gowdy —were fully backed up in their demands by Speaker Paul Ryan: Comply with Congress’s orders this week.

Mr. Ryan said “the new leadership at Justice and the FBI” has to decide whether it will be “part of the cleanup crew or the coverup team.” If Justice and the FBI don’t comply within the timeline he laid out, he said, “we are going to have to take action.”

Of all the actions Congress could take, a contempt finding or an impeachment is the most substantial. Unfortunately, recent Republican history with regard to the former doesn’t incline to optimism.

Lois Lerner, the former official at the heart of the IRS targeting of conservative groups, and Eric Holder, Barack Obama’s attorney general, were each held in contempt by Congress. But in both cases, Congress blinked when it came to imposing effective consequences.

In June 2012, Mr. Holder was held in contempt for withholding documents Congress wanted from the botched Fast and Furious operation that put firearms in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. It was the first time Congress had taken such a move against a sitting cabinet member. The first contempt resolution referred the attorney general for criminal charges, while a second launched a civil suit seeking a court to order Justice to turn over the documents.

The Obama Justice Department declined to act on the criminal referral—as everyone knew it would. Though a judge would ultimately reject the administration’s claims of executive privilege, the ruling didn’t come until 2016. By that time Mr. Obama was wrapping up his second term, Mr. Holder had retired, and Fast and Furious had long since faded from the headlines.

But Congress has a third option for contempt: It can jail someone until he produces the testimony or documents sought. The advantage here is that Congress can do this all on its own. The last time Congress used contempt to jail was in 1934, when the Senate arrested, tried and then sentenced former Assistant Commerce Secretary William P. MacCracken Jr. to 10 days for allowing the removal and destruction of papers he’d been subpoenaed to produce.

You have to go back even further for the last time Congress impeached an executive-branch official. In 1876, Congress accused Secretary of War William Belknap of using his office for private gain. But if Sally Yates as deputy attorney general could cite the 1799 Logan Act, which no American has ever been convicted of violating, to intervene in the Mike Flynn case, surely Congress needn’t be shy about its Article I constitutional power to impeach.

The obstruction of Justice and the FBI appears rooted in the mistaken idea that they are somehow above the elected representatives of the American people. While Mr. Rosenstein has referred to congressional talk of impeaching him as “extortion,” Mr. Wray, in his statement to a press conference outlining steps to fix the FBI, conspicuously made no mention of better cooperation with Congress.

Yep, they think they are above Congress. Only thing left to do is show them otherwise. Send them to the ranks of the Unemployed.

 

If we want to remain a self-ruled people, we have no choice.

 

Gowdy says we should see action by today, if DOJ and FBI don't comply with the subpoenas.

 

We get a lot of talk, and no action out of Gowdy.
