CNN published a transcript of that hearing Tuesday after the Justice Department, under a court order, was forced to provide the transcript to the cable network.

Barr will never be able to clean out the corruption in DOJ. He may be able to expose some of it and chip away at it, but its clearly a deep seated, endemic problem that will persist continue long after he’s gone.

Andrew McCabe felt American citizens didn't have a right to elect a President ... the little shit thought he was superior to mere citizens...

McCabe thought thugs in the KGB - oops I mean ‘thugs in the FBI’ should make that call.

Rod Rosenstein’s first act as Deputy Attorney General was to derail McCabe’s obstruction investigation.

If the FBI was already onto Papadopoulos when Misfud met him then what triggered the focus on Papadopoulos? My theory is that the FBI was monitoring the GOPs e-mail or Papadopoulos’ e-mail. I notice in the Mueller report that Mueller states several times that Papadopoulos sent emails to various people in the Trump campaign. They could have gotten those emails after they arrested Papadopoulos but it’s also possible that they had them all along because they were spying on him.

I’m not optimistic, to say the least.

I seriously doubt anyone is. We've tumbled so far from where we were just a few decades ago.

It was indeed. Trump’s victory was nothing short of amazing. One might even say providential.

That said, we have more innings to play. The game is far from over. We need to get on with the reckoning and punishment of those in the treasonous anti-Trump cabal. Until that happens, nothing has really changed and the Deep State will have lived to fight on.

I think the FIB could have infiltrated other campaigns as well as DJTs. There is no way people this corrupt don't bet on Win, Show & Place, just in case.

Its been fast decline. And the pace isn’t slowing up.

If we don’t bring the hammer down hard on the anti-Trump forces there will be no chances of any positive course corrections for the country. Its now or never, really.

Could also be that another spy fingered Papadopoulos as someone the FBI should try to entrap.

Papadopoulos was being manipulated by the Deep State players, FBI, CIA and foreign Intel agencies.

He was a pawn in their grand chess game.

He was ferried to London and met with ambassadors and a host of fake people in order to get him to say something they could hand to a FISA COURT as evidence to start their ‘official’ spying, even though it had been going on for quite some time, just illegally.

Papadopoulos was perplexed, but never quite figured it out until it was nearly too late..................

Yep, as a low low level campaign person he probably enjoyed the attention before he realized it was abnormal.

My theory is that Carter Page was a plant. No proof of that obviously but the known facts seem to fit together to me.

“Methinks Trump’s win was nothing short of miraculous.”

I completely agree with that!

Any of the others they could have beaten easily.


Agree. Trump was the only candidate immune to the Democrat sexual smear playbook. He never claimed to be pure. He owned his past.

The Dems were in panic mode ever since the “Only Rosie O’Donnell” riposte.

McCabe is going down. Trump has every right to fire Comey for any reason, or no reason at all, so that was bogus. McCabe was a strong Hillary supporter, and this is all about Hillary.

I agree completely. We’re going to eventually find out that the scope of activities of the cabal were far greater than anyone imagines. Whenever this got started you can be sure that they got more brazen over time. Not unlike the way criminal enterprises spread.
