Comey’s Memos Indicate Dossier Briefing Of Trump Was A Setup
The Federalist ^ | APRIL 20, 2018 | Molly Hemingway (one of my favorites)

Posted on 04/20/2018 7:53:36 AM PDT by pookie18

Newly released memos written by former FBI director James Comey indicate that an early 2017 briefing for then-President-elect Donald Trump about the contents of an infamous dossier was held so it could be leaked to media outlets eager to report on the dossier’s allegations. In multiple memos, Comey specifically mentioned that CNN had the dossier and wanted a “news hook” that would enable the network to report on its most salacious allegations even though they had not been verified.

Looks like if The Swamp makes their move against Trump a few million of us are going to have to make a move back against the coup....

We mild-mannered, quiet, God fearing, conformist conservatives do not go out to protest Comey’s book tour and shout down his lies through bullhorns (Ann Coulter, Milo, Dershowitz get that treatment).

We don’t have a march like the feminist MeToo or BLM or dimwit student anti-2nd Amendment types (we quietly email or speak to a fellow worshipper in church about it).

Which side is winning???

The Democrats are a minority party. That's why they have to be so loud.

Eventually, they're going to poke the grizzly bear once too many times...

Yes. Bug's ear is correct. I just said a bug's navel because it's sillier, and bugs don't actually have a navel. 😊

"Daniel Richman, the original recipient of Comey’s leaks who now claims to be his personal attorney, ..."

Ok, I'm waiting to see how long it's going to take to see the FBI raid this attorney's locations for all of his files.

Criminal syndicate racketeering of the highest order. Comey is a racketeer, and the whole lot of them should be prosecuted under the RICO statute.

Comey a leaker? That all DEPENDS on what he’s full of.

Let’s call him a DEPENDS wearing Walking Egomaniac who leaks whenever he wants something to get out unethically.

New tv series: “Comey The Walking Leaker” starring James Comey as “Leaker”; Rosenstein as “Negan”; McCabe as “Simon”; and the grand jury as “Lucille”. And a cast of hundreds of Democrats as “The Walking Brain Dead”, led by Adam Schiff, the top Walker.

Be careful boy, he’ll eat your brains out!

All I need to know about Comey is that Joe DiGenova has described him as “a dirty cop”.

Comey's open testimony to the Senate suggests the same thing. Comey admitted he deliberately misled Trump in that January 6th meeting. Read between the lines, the setup was designed to get a rise out of Trump, and that would be used to justify accusations about his temperament.

Comey and McCabe are not the only snakes involved. Not by a long shot. The rot runs far, wide, and deep.

I don’t know what else it could be since he didn’t tell the President what the origins of the document were. He lied by omission.

“Jew is for Jooo!”

was supposed to be

“J is for Jooo!”

But since I composed this alpha bet primer a few minutes before my wife lit Shabbos candles, I missed the mistake.
