This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent.

New Texts Reveal Steele Anxious Over Comey Testimony, Hopes "Firewalls Will Hold"
By Sara Carter | August 15, 2018 | 4:37 PM EDT

In March, 2017, two days before former FBI Director James Comey testified to lawmakers that the bureau had an open counterintelligence investigation into President TrumpaEUR(TM)s campaign, former British spy Christopher Steele sent an urgent message to Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr hoping that "important firewalls will hold" when Comey testified.

Ohr writes back later that day, saying "Sorry, no new news. I believe my earlier information is still accurate. I will let you know immediately if there is any change."

It is not certain, based on the limited communications obtained by Congress between the pair, what Ohr was referring to when he discussed "earlier information" that he delivered to Steele.

The exchange raises questions, according to a government source who asked, "What did Steele mean by important firewalls before Comey testimony? And what did Ohr mean by earlier information he provided?" The source noted that the 'firewall' statement seemed raise similar questions posed by lawmakers after (now-fired) FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok sent the infamous "insurance policy" texts to his paramour, former FBI Attorney Lisa Page.

I replied, “Here let me fix that for you. “This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to bring to justice those who attempted to overthrow a duly elected government.” There, all fixed!”

Ummm...Mongoloid baby.

Last I heard, intelligence professionals weren't supposed to "speak out".

This dude is more highly retarded than Raider Boy.
