Sudden FBI departures indicate that the jig is up
The American Thinker ^ | 02/09/18 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 02/09/2018 7:03:59 AM PST by pgkdan

Choose your metaphor: rats leaving a sinking ship, cockroaches scurrying away from the light, or maybe just people cutting deals to save their butts. Yesterday saw the FBI fan feculated.

The blandness of this Politico story, titled "Two more officials cited in FBI texts step down," conceals really, really big news. The jig is up. Each of the "officials" who is "stepping down" is leaving under duress and likely facing serious legal consequences for acts that have been disclosed – acts that go to the heart of the fraudulent application for the Page FISA warrant and the obstruction of justice in the Hillary email probe.

Remember the worst thing would be to take ten to court and lose! They would come roaring back!

A few posters @ CTH like to gently coax the culprits - all of whom read Sundance's exposes - to take the "easy way out".

I figured the same approach might work @ FR. You know these traitors - Hi Bill! - are all reading the leading patriot web sites.

I have a suspicious feeling that very shortly Bill and Hillary are going to be thrown under the bus to protect the mocha muslim usurper...

Very good points.

It has to be built slowly, relentlessly, brick by brick. It will take months, if not years (as with Watergate).

But it’s possible we may get there.

The entire DNC roster, from Hussein to Cankles to Willy to Nan et al, is toast. The reason why is because the younger proglibs will jettison when they realize that no only do they serve no useful purpose, but they are actively detracting from future political success. Consider this: just 6 short years after Nixon's resignation, RR was elected in 1980. 6 years, that's all it took for the Watergate memories to pass.

Let's re-examine why Trump decided to run via the GOP vs setting up his own independent party. The existing infrastructure, from the smallest local unit all the way up to the national organization, is an incredibly valuable asset. And, as Trump conclusively proved, you can take over a BK (figuratively & literally) institution and re-cast it entirely in a new image. So, there's this excellent political resource sitting out there just ripe for the plucking.

The proglibs were led down a blind alley aligning with illegals. They can always recoup and begin appealing again to the center-left working class ie a big part of Trump's base. As RR proved, a dynamic, patriotic Dem can erase their sordid past, once again embrace patriotic ideals, and give the Rs a run for their money.

Right now, the wheels must be turning in the minds of the young(er) 40 somethings. Their moment is nearing in the next 6-8 years. If the proglibs stick to the path they are on, they will never achieve electoral success in their lifetimes. Once the decision is made to eject the past, then it's a mad dash to erase all vestiges of corruption and treason.

That's when the old crew is fed to the wolves.

NOPE...Never happen..

Chris Wallace too old...70 and soon will show signs of Democrats favorite talking point, DEMENTIA.

Is he filling in for Bret Baier who more than likely went to the Olympics and took his family along at FOX expense...just a thought? Bret has become as bad as CNN news casters...I've moved to FOX BUSINESS, and looks like they are trying to retire, my favorite, LOU DOBBS. JUST NEVER LISTEN TO THEIR VIEWER OPINIONS...jmo.

Yep. If Menendez was tried outside of his district and outside of DC, he might be in an orange jumpsuit.

About Carter page being CI or Asset? It’s not been proven, doesn’t mean it wasn’t show. Look at him in the timelines and you’ll get the idea why he is suspect.

A man under the full force of the FBI/CIA/NSA examinations since 2013 and here we are 2018 and yet they have him on nothing.

It’s easier to explain that he was actually cought early on and flipped to CI.

Lifson should get an award for his led verbiage:

“Choose your metaphor: rats leaving a sinking ship, cockroaches scurrying away from the light, or maybe just people cutting deals to save their butts. Yesterday saw the FBI FAN FECULATED.”

“Trump’s made them a deal: quit or go to jail.”

I was wondering if Director Wray had a heart to heart talk with some of these guys? As long as the swamp in being drained I am good with it.

That would be a terrible deal.

Here's my deal to them. Get fired and then get prosecuted.

Yeah...if there is one thing I'd bet the ranch on it's that Carter Page isn't a Russian spy or working undercover as an FBI employee.

He was a cooperating witness in an FBI investigation of some Russian agents back in 2013, nothing more.

He's gonna get rich suing Yahoo/Fusion GPS for his good name back, that's for sure.

Unfortunately to avoid widespread riots and accusations of racism, this will not happen.

To stomp these criminals into the ground, I would tolerate, hell, welcome widespread riots and accusations of racism!!!!

Speaking of which I made a response this morning to Marcia Clark spreading lies about the GZ/TM encounter and trial in this posted interview...

The deep, dark state, is _way_ bigger than most folks can invision. It has been, is and (so far) will be funded with trillons of dollars, created from -thin-air- by _federal_reserve_. With this massive might, USA will be unlikely to put DC back in the chains of USConstitution.

Makes you wonder if the 7th floor is full of empty offices and wandering ghost-like figures, carrying their heads in their hands.

“As usual, Conservative Treehouse wins the day yet again.”

He does do excellent work. During the 2016 election didn’t Mark Levin denounce the guy who runs it as being just a “grocery store manager” or something? If so, we could use a lot more grocery store managers like him.

That is just shocking. Sounds like Ms Clark has decided that she needs to be an advocate for the side that rendered the ridiculous verdict in the OJ trial.
