May 9, 5:47 PM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump has fired FBI Director James Comey.

In a statement, Trump says Comey's firing "will mark a new beginning" for the FBI. The White House says the search for a new FBI director will begin immediately.

Comey's firing comes days after he testified on Capitol Hill about the FBI's investigation into Russia's election meddling and possible connections between Russia and Trump's campaign.

[ghostrider]

The fact Hillary had a private server in a bathroom or closet that no one knew about, is the intent ... she should have at least been fined , or something ... Comey said he couldn't find intent, how ridiculous ... deleting 33,000 emails means you have many conversations you want hidden in the shadows ...

There are people who voted for trump just to hear him say those two words!

Now if trump's people can go after that FBI guy Andrew McCabe. We became aware of him through George Webb. He is the one who openly curses at trump at staff meetings, "F**k Flynn and then we f**k trump". Supposedly his wife received over 600,000 in some kind of donation/gift from Clinton and never reported it. If he's still in the FBI this is one bad apple he should fire....

[Helene West]

there's a live feed on youtube that has a live chat going on for the last hour, completely unmoderated!! people are cursing and saying all kinds of vulgarities. most are pro-trump but some aren't but some are just nutz but youtube has the nerver to put alt hosts vids off and let's this go on?? bizarro!!
(Edit - left out it's a Fox News live feed, sorry).

How soon we forget:

During the 2007 Congressional investigation of the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys, it was discovered that administration officials had been using a private Internet domain, called gwb43.com, owned by and hosted on an email server run by the Republican National Committee,[1] for various official communications. The domain name is an abbreviation for "George W. Bush, 43rd" President of the United States. The use of this email domain became public when it was discovered that J. Scott Jennings, the White House's deputy director of political affairs, was using a gwb43.com email address to discuss the firing of the U.S. attorney for Arkansas.[2] Communications by federal employees were also found on georgewbush.com (registered to "Bush-Cheney '04, Inc."[3]) and rnchq.org (registered to "Republican National Committee"[4]). Congressional requests for administration documents while investigating the dismissals of the U.S. attorneys required the Bush administration to reveal that not all internal White House emails were available. Conducting governmental business in this manner is a possible violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978.[5] Over 5 million emails may have been lost.[6][7] Greg Palast claims to have come up with 500 of the Karl Rove emails, leading to damaging allegations.[8] In 2009, it was announced that as many as 22 million emails may have been lost.

About Rod J. Rosenstein

Rod J. Rosenstein (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Rosenstein)

Rod J. Rosenstein (born January 13, 1965) is the Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice. Prior to his current appointment, he served as a United States Attorney for the District of Maryland. Rosenstein was a former nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. At the time of his confirmation as Deputy Attorney general in April 2017, he was the nation's longest-serving U.S. attorney.

President Donald Trump nominated Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on January 13, 2017. Rosenstein was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 25, 2017.

Data points...

Rod J. Rosenstein was appointed by Obama to serve as a United States Attorney for the District of Maryland.

On April 25, 2017 Rod J. Rosenstein was confirmed to be the Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice by the United States Senate in a 94 to 6 vote... an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote I might add.

[Chester]

from HERE (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/09/us/politics/comey-trump-fbi-live.html)

‘Why now?’

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, said Mr. Trump had called him earlier on Tuesday to inform him of the firing.

“I simply said to him, ‘Mr. President, in all due respect, you’re making a very big mistake,’” Mr. Schumer recalled at a hastily arranged news conference Tuesday evening. “And he didn’t really answer.”

Mr. Schumer said the first question the administration must answer was, “Why now?”


answer from Sam -

It's simple, Chuckie... first, read the letter from Rod Rosenstein to Jeff Sessions. All the reasons are outlined there. In addition, Rosenstein cites "shared perspective" from several "former Attorneys General and Deputy Attorneys General from different eras and both political parties."

And note that Sessions had recused himself from all things Russian which would of course include Comey due to the possibility the FBI (under Comey) might be investigating Trump campaign officials and Trump administration officials and thus it only makes sense that the Deputy Attorney General review the matter.

And might I add one other factor. The direct supervisor to the Director of the FBI is the Deputy Attorney General which in this case (and as of just two weeks ago because of obstructionistic 'slow walking' of Senate confirmations) is now (finally) Rod J. Rosenstein.

Pretty straight forward, Chuck.

And now I ask you this. If you, Chuck, were President and these two letters were delivered to your desk... do you see you have any choice but to fire him?

And now I ask one more question. With this so clear and obvious and the fact this was based primarily on Comey's actions of July 5, 2016, how the heck did the Lynch Justice Department not make this same recommendation to the then President Obama?

[Ashy67]

Thanks Sam, very illuminating :thumbsup:

[Helene West]

Rosenstein's letter seems unassailable. Did the Warlock not read this? Will msm not read this?

I'm now confused as to whether there is really an investigation going on re trump and russia. From trump's letter it seems there is not, from the dems it seems there is. Are the dems perpetrating a hoax on the public just to keep bad press going against trump?

Will Comey engage in spite work now that he's been fired?
to Jeff Sessions - Now go after McCabe!!

Now that McCabe's buffering agent (Comey) has been removed, I do sense McCabe will be resigning in the near future. No doubt, the pressing sense to "get the hell out of Dodge", is probably nagging at the back of McCabe's neck. Leave it to Judicial Watch to be the tip of the spear on this investigative probe.

Too bad the media doesn't check approval ratings of FBI Directors among Liberals and Conservatives. When he was investigating Hillary Clinton's e-mails he was a patron saint among conservatives and vilified by liberals. Then he declared that she hadn't violated the National Security Act in a major way and the situation reversed itself. Then a week before the elections he sent letters to congress saying the e-mail investigation is back on and once again the situation reversed itself. Finally now that Trump has fired him, the Church of the DNC has canonized St. James Comey while Republicans have ensconced him in their pantheon of demonic entities.

Thanks MSNBC, thanks FOX news! Your work is done. You have created a U.S. public that is so partisan, so dumbed down by ideology that they no longer care about waiting to see how things play out, about looking at evidence. There are just two big lynch mobs, one conservative, one liberal.

[Fellow Aspirant]

THIS JUST IN!!!!

***If you have no sense of humor please turn back now. Thanks for stopping by.***

Donald Trump is taking some serious heat for firing FBI Director James Comey. As the chief executive, Trump feels like the firing of Comey was warranted not because he happens to be the guy leading the investigation into allegations that team Trump joined with Russia to cheat the Democrats out of an election, but because of…her emails. Those damned emails. Yes, Trump let Comey go because he really, really thinks Hillary Clinton is a criminal and disagrees with the FBI’s handling of the case.

This morning, after many tweets on the subject and a nice session masturbating to the Drudge Report, Trump announced the only person he feels comfortable with running the nation’s premier law enforcement bureau. The announcement came in a statement that really needs to be read in the voice of Alec Baldwin impersonating Lord Cheeto. It’s much funnier that way:

My fellow Americans, I have a big announcement. Today, our great nation is one step closer to being great again. It’s a big step closer. Huge. A big, huge step closer this is so big. I have decided that the replacement for James Comey, who was terrible, a disaster by the way, will be none other than my daughter, Ivanka Trump.

Ivanka brings to the bureau the kind of trust that only someone named Trump can bring to law enforcement. Plus, she’s got a great body and fantastic legs. And that hair. It’s so perfect and straight. She’s like an angel. No man will be able to resist her. They will all want to date her like I would if it wasn’t a precedential conflict of interest. She’ll solve cases just with her smile and supple breasts.

Ivanka will begin immediately by dropping this silly investigation into Russia that the Democrats keep demanding because they’re upset that I won the greatest victory in the history of everything by eleventy million votes. She will instead recommend to the Justice Department that Hillary Clinton be charged with treason and executed for her emails.

Ivanka will take over today and she will be wearing her own line of clothing and designer shoes that you can own yourself by going to IvankaIsASexKitten.com. Don’t tell her that daddy set that one up. She likes to think she can do the same job a man can do.

When asked for a comment, Ivanka told a room full of people she thought were reporters but were actually just guests enjoying the free continental breakfast at Trump DC:

I’m pleased to be named director of things at the BFI. I will be starting a new program for working moms to bring their kids with them to work. I will also be making sure all women in the office are making as much as the men in the mailroom like Daddy does at his company so everyone is equal. Any other questions can be directed to my husband as soon as he gets back from saving the world from the Africans.

Experts are predicting that the FBI will be pulling all of its agents out of the field by the end of 2017 to man the phones for handbag sales and that like everything else Trump does, this will be a complete and utter disaster.

But…her emails, so…

Spin doctors go wild in the swamp
By Jon Rappoport
5/10/17
https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/



In the political swamp that is Washington, and in the press swamp, motor boats began speeding every which way in the wake of Trump's decision to fire FBI Director Comey.

People in the boats are holding up signs to explain the reason for the firing.

The first sign was: COMEY LIED. Comey lied the other day. He lied in testimony before Congress, when he said Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's long-time aide, had sent "hundreds and thousands" of emails to her husband, Anthony Weiner, some of which contained classified information. The truth was, the FBI says, contradicting Comey, a great many of those emails were merely "backed up" on Weiner's laptop via "backup devices." Huh? Does that actually mean something? Weiner obtained those emails out of the sky, delivered by a chariot, and not from Huma? Weiner's laptop was serving as a storage device, a personal little cloud? Somebody not connected to the Hillary campaign was using the social-medias porn star as a backup for classified data? Who would that be? Putin? Putin hacked the Hillary/DNC emails, and sent them to both WikiLeaks and Anthony Weiner? "Hi Anthony. Vlad here. Keep these thousands of emails for posterity."

The next motor boat running through the swamp featured a sign that said: COMEY SCREWED UP THE HILLARY INVESTIGATION. This sign can be interpreted several ways, depending on who is in the boat. One, Comey didn't press the investigation into Hillary's personal email server far enough last summer and fall. He stalled it. He didn't ask for an indictment. That's why Trump fired him yesterday. Trump didn't fire Comey right after he was elected president, when it would have been a simple bye bye. No, Trump waited five months and then lowered the boom. Sure.

The other meaning of COMEY SCREWED UP THE HILLARY INVESTIGATION is: Comey improperly told the world (last summer) that the FBI was investigating Hillary. His announcement influenced the election. The FBI is supposed to keep absolutely quiet about ongoing investigations. Comey didn't. Then he publicly closed the book on the investigation, opened it again, and closed it again. That's why Trump just fired him. Again, Trump waited five months after the election and then got rid of Comey. And of course, Trump was morally outraged that Comey exposed Hillary in the first place, when Comey should have remained silent. Sure. That makes a lot of sense.

The next motor boat speeding across the swamp held up a big sign that said, TRUMP FIRED COMEY TO STOP THE FBI FROM INVESTIGATING THE TRUMP-RUSSIA CONNECTION. You see, for five months, Trump happily left Comey in place, knowing Comey was investigating him, Trump, and yesterday Trump had enough of that, so he fired the FBI director. Right.

The next motor boat in the swamp held up a sign that said, THIS IS NIXON ALL OVER AGAIN, THIS IS TRUMP'S WATERGATE. The sign refers to the last sign, but ups the ante. And there is another sign that says, in the same vein, NOW WE CAN IMPEACH TRUMP. And another one that says, APPOINT AN INDEPENDENT COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE THE TRUMP-RUSSIA CONNECTION.

I'm waiting for Bob Woodward of Watergate fame to step in and say, "It's all right, folks, I'm on the case. I'll handle it. I was just eating lunch and sipping a fine wine in my underground parking garage when a shadowy figure stepped out of the gloom and whispered, 'My throat is deep, and I'll spoon-feed you secrets for the next year, but you'll have to dig up the facts. Everybody is involved in the cover-up. Comey, Sessions, Pence, Bannon, Conway, Ivanka, Putin, Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Stalin."

So why did Trump fire Comey yesterday?

I don't know, but the short answer might be: Comey's boss, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, told Trump to get rid of Comey. Sessions made the call.

Sessions now has a specific plan to make the FBI over in the image he prefers. Sessions wants to shape the Bureau according to his agendas. Sessions has looked into the Bureau and he now knows which people he wants to fire. He wants to get rid of the Obama crowd. He wants loyalists. He doesn't want a Dept. of Justice that is going in one direction, while the FBI is going in another. Sessions wants a predictable FBI. His own.

Joel Pollak, writing at Breitbart, has a simpler answer to the question, why fire Comey now? Pollak writes:

"But why fire Comey now? The answer is simple. The day before, President Barack Obama's former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper repeated, under oath, what he told NBC News' Chuck Todd on Meet the Press on March 5 - that he had seen no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. That gave the Trump administration the breathing room to dismiss Comey - which it simply did not have before."

In other words, now Trump can't be accused of firing Comey to stop "the truth" emerging about a Trump-Russia collusion, because there isn't any collusion.

Theoretically, that might be the case---but the spin machine doesn't care about the truth or who is right and who is wrong. The machine keeps running. Those motor boats keep moving across the swamp. Signs come out. People yell and scream.

Chuck Schumer may soon compare Trump to Benedict Arnold.

For the past 65 years, the CIA has been infiltrating media and promoting many messages. In certain cases, an op involves promoting CONFLICTING messages, because the intent is sowing discord, chaos, and division. In this instance (Comey/Trump), it's a walk in the park (or a ride in the swamp). All sorts of people on both sides already have steam coming out of their ears, without any nudging or provocation.

A child could run this spin counter-spin op.

And we're just getting started.

[Chester]

and it can also be outrage from opponents for this -

daOH-pTd_nk

In some ways it is getting clearer and clearer that some folks just can't take all the winning anymore.

[awakeningmom]

Someone please explain to me why this firing is a good indication of positive things to come? Doesn't it leave Andrew McCabe as acting FBI director? According to George Webb, McCabe is the one responsible for stalling the Clinton-Weinergate email investigation and is a long-time friend/enabler of Clinton crimes. I have read that Trump's firing of Comey is bringing things one step closer to a true FBI Clinton investigation, and supposedly Julian Assange claims that now there will be massive FBI leaks about the emails -- but I just don't see how that makes any sense unless Trump also plans to fire McCabe. Seems like Trump is supporting a cover-up of Clinton crimes. What am I missing?

[Chester]

McCabe is temporary and also, note that the Deputy Attorney General is the FBI's direct boss and supervisor. McCabe will be effectively "gone" pretty quick.

[AutumnW]

Awakening Mom,

It's all about doing and saying what was needed to get in, credit to Steve Bannon. Bait and switch. But it won't be business as usual, as the new regime will not follow the Obama path of slapping Netanyahoo upside the head. This is an Israeli U.S military takedown of ALL opposition to Israel's agenda. It was somewhat apparent before Trump was elected.

Comey, even though he seemed to do his personal best to get Trump elected, is disposable to Trump and his people. They want someone who is completely onside with Israel's plans for the U.S. The U.S is Israel's military meat suit. Pity Iran.

[Chester]

And conspiracy theories abound... at least this is the right place to share them. I have certainly shared plenty.

[Bluegreen]

Our friend Lionel has two cents:

[Helene West]

I haven't gone to Msm World lately so I don't know if they are bothering to actually read AG Rosenstein's letter. He outlines the case beautifully.

[awakeningmom]

I don't see any evidence or murmurings that Andrew McCabe is going to be gone quickly, Sam. What evidence do you have for that? And in my opinion, Trump "won," or at least got the votes (or abstentions) of many disgruntled Dems who were disgusted with the DNC's fraud in the primary -- and who were hoping Trump would at least make good on his promise that if he were President, HRC would be "in jail" where she belongs. Leaving Andrew McCabe now as head of the FBI suggests that Trump was simply paying lip service to both his base and to those who couldn't just 'hold their noses and vote for Hilary,' and that he and she were always playing on the same team all along. If that's not the case, Trump could have also asked for McCabe's resignation too and really cleaned house -- clearly there is enough evidence against McCabe to suggest he is rife with conflicts of interest when it comes to HRC and cannot perform his job functions objectively.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/10/27/more-questions-over-massive-donation-by-clinton-operative-to-fbi-investigators-wife/

As for Rothstein's letter, I agree with parts of his justification for Comey's termination and disagree with others. I agree that Comey overstepped his bounds when he first announced that the case against HRC should be closed without prosecution -- that was certainly an usurpation of the Justice Dept's role and responsibility. Of course, it is highly doubtful that Lynch would have prosecuted HRC anyway, so perhaps Comey making the announcement made it less obvious that Lynch would have concluded similarly -- regardless of any evidence.

But it seems like Comey made the right choice in coming out in late October with his announcement of the reopening of the HRC case -- it would be pretty awkward to do it AFTERWARDS against a newly elected President if HRC had "won." And with public opinion for national politics at an all time low already, this probably would have been too much even for the deeply asleep to swallow.

It seems to me that all of this is kabuki theatre for the masses anyway -- DJT and HRC and the rest of the deeply compromised political/financial elite are likely reporting to the same masters and always have been -- and we are just on a surreal and largely manipulated whiplash-inducing roller coaster ride that will culminate in no swamp dwellers actually leaving the swamp or facing the music. Even the complaints by so-called Democrats and "liberal media" over Comey's firing ring false to me since it appears that teflon HRC is now clearly insulated from any genuine FBI prosecution -- and wasn't that the goal all along? It appears that her man is now holding the FBI reins and all her dark secrets are safe once again.

Yep, that's my current "conspiracy theory." Makes the most sense to me right now.

[Helene West]

If we know that McCabe hates trump and about his wife, etc. then trump must know. I'm sure as a person let alone as president trump would love to fire him but it remains to be seen what the elites want. Maybe they want mccabe to stay and be like a vicious correction officer over trump and help keep him in line as he appears to be more vicious than comey. Maybe as some here have postulated, McCabe will resign. If it's the latter then it's a glimmer of hope for us. If it's the former than it's just as puzzling and depressing as having this kush boy around whispering in trump's ear and pulling him away from his staff and his promises. The peasantry can entertain themselves making various deductions based on the moves in the kabuki play as you would put it. This peasant happens to be more entertained than usual with yesterday's piece of theatre. I happen to enjoy scenes where warlock schumer is pissed off. But until we see someone very high up actually go to prison, I think most of us accept it's theatre of one sort or another.

[turiya]

I don't see any evidence or murmurings that Andrew McCabe is going to be gone quickly, Sam.

New FBI Director McCabe Celebrates Promotion
in His Six-Figure Luxury Porsche 911;
White House & FBI Agents Outraged (http://truepundit.com/new-fbi-director-mccabe-celebrates-promotion-in-his-six-figure-luxury-porsche-911-white-house-fbi-agents-outraged/)

Posted on May 10, 2017 (http://truepundit.com/2017/05/)
by Investigative Bureau (http://truepundit.com/author/investigative-bureau/)

https://i0.wp.com/truepundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/andrew_mccabe_money_red_true_pundit.jpg?resize=300 %2C208 https://i2.wp.com/truepundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/high.jpg?resize=300%2C208

Newly minted and controversial FBI Director Andrew McCabe is already ruffling feathers of his FBI underlings and D.C. bosses in the White House by tooling around FBI headquarters and the nation’s capital in a six-figure Porsche 911 worth more than his annual salary.

And the White House is not happy about revelations that the new FBI Director, sworn to replace the former FBI Director to help clean up the embattled Bureau, is showing up to work like a Hollywood spy instead of a FBI agent, a high-placed aide said hours after McCabe was sworn in Tuesday.

“He may have to be replaced quickly if this is true,” a White House aide said. “The President wants to clean up the FBI and give it a new start. Check your facts. This doesn’t sound like something the FBI director would do.”
Based on motor vehicle records confirmed by True Pundit, McCabe’s 2010 Porche 911 is approximately worth between $110,000 and $265,000 depending on its sports-car options and engine package. According to motor vehicle records the car is registered to the address of McCabe’s $750,000 home in Virginia.

McCabe’s luxury sports car, with a sticker price likely larger than McCabe’s annual $130,000 salary range, has McCabe on the hot seat among many FBI agents who have concerns about the former deputy director’s personal finances and the optics of now FBI Director showing up for work in a luxury Porsche, FBI sources told True Pundit.

“McCabe thinks he’s Robert Redford in the Spy Game (movie) parking his Porsche under the (FBI) building in the garage,” a FBI insider said. “FBI agents don’t show off expensive sports cars and huge houses. Those images send the wrong message.”McCabe was sworn in Tuesday night as the new director of the FBI after his boss and former mentor James Comey was fired by President Donald Trump. McCabe is no newcomer to controversy and questions about his family’s finances. His wife, a former senate candidate in Virginia, accepted nearly $700,000 in campaign donations from factions backed by Hillary Clinton while her husband was overseeing parts of the email investigation of the former secretary of state. Clinton was cleared and never indicted.That’s just one of the McCabe’s recent financial and political discrepancies, however.

FBI sources said they had expressed concerns about the optics of McCabe’s Porcshe 911. But their gripes aren’t something new. Some agents for months asked Comey to inquire into McCabe’s use and purchase of the sports car. And shortly after McCabe’s Porsche started showing up at FBI HQ in Washington D.C., another unnamed high ranking official also purchased a similar Porsche, sources said.

Comey ignored calls to investigate or rebuke the automobile purchases, FBI sources said.

2010 Porsche 911 file photo, same year and 911 make as McCabe’s vehicle. Options vary.

This isn’t McCabe’s first rodeo in the cross-hairs of controversy at the FBI while he was outranked only by Comey. In fact, McCabe garnered problematic headlines during and since the 2016 presidential election.

In March, True Pundit reported mere days before Gen. Michael Flynn was sacked as national security advisor, then-FBI Deputy Director McCabe gathered more than a dozen of his top FBI disciples to plot how to ruin Flynn’s aspiring political career and manufacture evidence to derail President Donald Trump. McCabe emphatically declared at the invite-only gathering with raised voice:

“F**k Flynn and then we F**k Trump,” according to direct sources.

This was one of several such meetings held in seclusion among key FBI leaders since Trump was elected president, FBI sources confirm. At the congregation where McCabe went off the political rails and vowed to destroy Flynn and Trump, there were as many as 16 top FBI officials, inside intelligence sources said. No lower-level agents or support personnel were present.

Since that report in March, McCabe has come under fire for failing to disclose his wife was tied to raising funds for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign at the same time he was investigating Clinton. Also, he has been linked to the controversial Trump Dossier and pegged as a potential source for leaking classified surveillance intelligence against Flynn and Trump, sources said.

McCabe’s suspicious choice of personal work vehicle provides further ammunition for his critics and provokes additional questions about the money his wife accepted during her failed senate campaign. Even is no wrongdoing was committed, the optics of the situation — the appearance of conflict of interest on multiple levels — ultimately harms the image of the embattled FBI.

Democratic factions controlled by a Hillary Clinton insider paid the deputy director of the FBI’s wife almost $700,000 in campaign funds before McCabe, who was supervising Clinton’s investigation, lobbied against charging her criminally, according to records and interviews obtained by True Pundit.

Dr. Jill McCabe was a Virginia state senate candidate in 2015. Longtime Clinton family consigliere and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, sent her approximately $675,000 to fund the Democrat hopeful’s campaign coffers. Dr. McCabe, a physician, is married to the new FBI director. Mrs. McCabe is a registered Democrat. FBI agents who work with McCabe say he and his wife were both staunch Hillary Clinton supporters.

According to one FBI insider, the McAuliffe-generated campaign funds may have ultimately bought Clinton some strategic breathing room.

“McCabe was one of the few people who backed Comey’s decision not to refer Hillary Clinton to the Justice Department for indictment,” a FBI source said of the July 2016 decision not to refer Clinton for criminal charges for violating email and document safeguards for classified and Top Secret national security intelligence. “McCabe and Comey are both lawyers. They aren’t street agents. They’re more political. We wanted her (Clinton) indicted. They did not.”

Gov. McAuliffe has been an important Clinton family insider for decades. During Bill Clinton’s presidential candidacy and subsequent reelection, McAuliffe often spearheaded investigations into Clinton critics and helped silence women who alleged Bill Clinton harassed or sexually assaulted them, sources said.

Ironically, McAuliffe is currently under investigation by the FBI for alleged campaign-related finance infractions.

McAuliffe’s contributions to Dr. McCabe’s campaign match the exact time frame of the FBI’s parallel Clinton investigation. No contributions were made prior to the FBI’s probe of Clinton. McCabe was overseeing personnel decisions, including assigning agents to the Clinton investigation team, at the FBI’s Washington D.C.’s field office when his wife began her 2015 campaign. His wife lost the election after spending an estimated $1.8 million on the senate run. Three months later, Comey promoted McCabe to FBI Deputy Director in February 2016. The promotion helped fill a very large void created by the retirement of John Giacalone, who was the supervisor of the bureau’s National Security Branch and also the FBI brains and genesis behind the Clinton email and private server investigation. Since the inception of the case, Giacalone had spearheaded the Clinton investigation, and helped hand select top agents who were highly skilled but also discreet. Many of those agents were concerned when Giacalone abruptly resigned in the middle of the investigation.

FBI insiders said Giacalone used the term “sideways” to describe the direction the Clinton probe had taken in the bureau. Giacalone lamented privately he no longer had confidence in the direction the investigation was headed. He felt it was simpler to quietly step aside, walk away instead of fight to keep the investigation on its proper track. Giacalone was a true heavyweight agent at FBI. In fact, he likely should have been running the entire show. His pedigree included running and creating FBI divisions in New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and even serving as deputy commander in the Iraqi theater of operations. But in the midst of the Clinton investigation, Giacalone handed the bureau his retirement papers in February 2016.

The day after Giacalone’s departure, Comey tapped McCabe to help oversee the ongoing Clinton case and personally serve “as the eyes and ears” for Comey, sources confirmed. Since early July 2016, Comey had come under intense fire from critics and the majority of Americans who believe he granted Clinton a get-out-of-jail-free card by refusing to refer the case to the Justice Department for a probable slam-dunk indictment on at least one of potential dozens of criminal charges.

Now McCabe and a rogue FBI Sanhedrin — like Comey — face a new dilemma: Colleagues who have blown the whistle on the partisan agency, specifically how personal and political philosophies have crept into the FBI and commandeered the bureau’s powerful reach and resources to tamper with law-abiding White House personnel, including the president. That’s called public corruption, a crime the FBI is tasked with investigating.

Just like it “investigated” $700,000 in donations from the Clinton family to the wife of the FBI’s deputy director who, during the exact time frame was tasked with overseeing the investigation of Hillary Clinton. Clinton ultimately was never charged with any crime and McCabe received a FBI promotion.

We would normally demand a federal investigation into such allegations of collusion and potential bribery. But who would conduct it, the FBI?

Just too incredible! This guy must have some high up godfathers looking out for him. I understand he had to be sworn in immediately upon comey's dismissal but if he's not dismissed soon as well, if not investigated himself, then trump is just a stooge. No more speculation...

what puzzles me is why Wikileaks would offer Comey a job. I understand being furious at U.S. going after assange but still how does it help Wiki to hire a long time deep state operative? They are supposed to be the planet's beacon of non-manipulated, transparent info motivated by supposedly principle and they want Comey? Hmmmm

...two unnamed officials told the Washington Post that former FBI Director James Comey had requested more resources from the Justice Department for the investigation days before he was fired.
FAKE NEWS: Russia Investigation is ‘Adequately Resourced,’ Deputy FBI Director Says
(http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/05/11/fake-news-russia-investigation-is-adequately-resourced-deputy-fbi-director-says/)

Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe told senators on Thursday that contrary to news reports, the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the elections, including any collusion by Trump’s campaign, is “adequately resourced.”

In addition (and not in this report), McCabe pointed out that funding would never be requested for an individual case and that if the FBI felt that they needed more money (and the Justice Department would perhaps not agree), then they would ask for it from Congress or that perhaps both the FBI and the Justice Department would do so together.

When are the informed members of this forum who appear to have good moral judgment going to start demonstrating outrage at the real enemy of us all? The FAKE NEWS. Its down to this folks because there are enough "informationally challanged" folks out there who actually believe this stuff, make decisions based on these false, steered beliefs and unless those who regardless of their political leanings - make clear you see this, that you see it has gone viral, that you know it is organized and driven by whoever, whatever but that it matters only secondarily the who when the fact is that it is FAKE NEWS and an democracy, including this constitutional republic which is run by elected representatives of us, the people

If former National Security Advisor Susan Rice though she could get away from the current furore (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-04/susan-rice-responds-unmasking-allegations)over the Trump "unmasking" scandal with just one MSNBC interview (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-04/susan-rice-responds-unmasking-allegations)in which Andrea Mitchell did not even ask her why she lied two weeks ago to PBS, she will be disappointed because the House Intelligence Committee has officially asked Susan Rice to testify, supposedly under oath.

As the WSJ reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/susan-rice-says-obama-administration-didnt-use-intel-against-trump-associates-for-political-reasons-1491331871), citing two officials familiar with the matter, Rice who served as national security adviser under former President Barack Obama, is on a list of witnesses drawn up by the committee as part of its probe. House Republicans and Democrats have agreed upon a preliminary list of about 30 witnesses that officials say will be expanded as needed. Formal requests to testify haven’t been sent yet by the committee to the witnesses.

The Plan Has Been Revealed And Everyone Needs To Brace For The Impact - Episode 1276b
X22Report

http://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/x22report-the-plan-has-been-revealed-and-everyone-needs-to-brace-for-the-impact/

The X22Report says that Trump’s firing of Comey now has the Deep State in a panic. After firing Comey, Trump then met with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and then he met with Henry Kissinger.

Dave from the X22Report says that the firing of Comey was meant as a signal from Trump that he will not sit by anymore, the old way of doing business is over. While the Deep State has been pushing for war, Trump has been planning something else with China and North Korea. Is this the “3D chess” everyone’s been talking about?

The “One Belt, One Road” initiative is a massive infrastructure plan of roads and rails from Asia to Europe, which will circumvent the US’ current dominance of the sea lanes used for most of the cargo shipments out of Asia, controlled via “choke points” patrolled by the US Navy.

“One Belt” member nations will be having a major meeting next week, to which the US was studiously not invited. Member nations encompass about 60 countries in Asia, Europe, Oceania and East Africa. Trump ally, Filipino President Duterte recently met with China to talk about the Philippines joining the initiative.

Dave from X22 warns that the world is about to get more chaotic than ever before, because the only way to weaken the Deep State is to defund them, which is why Dave says Trump intends to collapse the economy and the Central Banking system, which will result in a very uncomfortable period for those of us who survive it.

For whatever it’s worth…
