Almost every intellectually honest political observer recognized the Washington Post report about President Trump being under investigation appeared manufactured on the thinnest of available anonymous precepts.
In the wake of the Post report, when Asst. AG Rod Rosenstein delivered an unanticipated press release stating not to trust media reports from “anonymous officials” all doubt was essentially confirmed. There is no ‘there’ there; and President Trump was not/is not under investigation. Just another failed media attempt by The Washington Post to undermine the administration, with a blend of partisanship designed to generate an ideological self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yes, that means the prior Washington Post report was entirely false; which makes that the eleventyth time CNN, The New York Times, or the Washington Post has run a report that was entirely false. They know it, it’s not false by accident – it is false by design.

Ping...
But this time it was five anonymous sources. How could they have all been wrong?
Somebody take a screen shot, too, before Pollutico takes it down.
did he or did he not pee on the Russian whores?! America is holding its breath
Somebody tell that doofus Chris Wallace.
Are they smoking something at CT?
The reason why a special counsel was appointed by rosenstein was to investigate and take down TRUMP
The leak, whether by the WP or the special counsel, was to prevent Trump from firing Mueller.
The WP has found that it’s just as easy to make up 5 imaginary anonymous sources as it is to make up one or two. Perhaps next time it will be 8 or 10 imaginary sources.
Whenever you read a liberal rag say “I have five sources” they mean five liberal loons in the newsroom..they make all this stuff up..if the Washington Compost said the sun shall rise tomorrow Id have to go tomorrow morning outside to confirm it..these liberal rags are all a pack of lies
The DNC never “ALLOWED” The FIB to look at its servers???
So Trump actually has the media announcing he is not under investigation.
Funny stuff.
Guaranteed that John McCain is behind this. He was over there at the time!
So it IS like the Plame thing. Everybody knows who was doing the colluding.
Comey didn’t request appointment of a special counsel because the special counsel would only prove there’s nothing there. However, fast forward to now and the real investigative risk is in being “a leaker”.
How quickly everyone forgets those admitted conversations by James Comey friend at Lawfare blog Benjamin Wittes:
“I did not know this particular fact, but it doesn’t surprise me at all. The principal source for the rest of this story is, well, me—specifically a long interview I gave to reporter Michael Schmidt on Friday about my conversations with FBI Director James Comey over the last few months, and particularly about one such conversation that took place on March 27 over lunch in Comey’s FBI office.” (link)
Benjamin Wittes admits that FBI Director James Comey specifically discussed with him the overall content of private communications with President Trump.
When you take the Wittes outline in conjuction with Comey’s admitted leaks to his other friend Daniel Richman, Comey is transparently in a position of being fingered as the source of multiple media leaks to NYT reporter Michael Schmidt.
That is the current risk for James Comey. The discovery that Comey was the leaker is the risk now represented by Robert Mueller and is inherent in Comey’s need to control the framework of his leaking activity.
James Comey was part of the political apparatus that constructed the “muh, vast Russian conspiracy” narrative and carefully nurtured it for over 8 months – even keeping congress in the dark on the entire matter. From James Comey perspective, the problem, the illegality, is now the leaking – NOT the original issue of the Russian election hacking narrative.
Remember, it was in FEBRUARY when the FBI (McCabe) went to President Trump’s Chief of Staff privately and told Reince Priebus there was no truth to media reports, based on FBI leaks, of FBI evidence showing Trump campaign officials involved with Russian officials regarding the 2016 election. It was all a complete nothingburger.
Details – On February 15th while discussing another issue FBI Assistant Director Andrew McCabe asked Reince for 5 minutes alone after the meeting. At the one-on-one meeting McCabe told Priebus the New York Times Russia and Trump campaign story was a “bunch of BS”.
I’m sure they will dedicate days of coverage and pages of space correcting the unfair and inaccurate lie and not some tiny blurb. Right??
Because James Comey is the ‘leaker’...
Why would they, they were all in it together...FBI, DOJ, DHS, IRS, White House, State Department...
Until President Trump arrived Jan 20, 2017...
but, but Schmucky Todd said today that Trump is in peril.
And, CNN always likes to say... THE WHITE HOUSE IS IN CRISIS.
Wallace is just another elitist ‘actor’ that makes a living playing gotcha - the fact that he mkes millions just shoveling ‘poo’ is nauseating.
Thanks for this very informative post. I don’t have time to keep up with all the details, so having it condensed like this was helpful.
