I don't think so. This was the work of the IG and OPR. I am thinking sleepy Sessions just went along under pressure, just as he went along with under pressure to recuse himself. It doesn't look like any initiative on his part just yet and he's still responsible for the continuing Mueller travesty.

Precisely.

From the FBI and across the intelligence agencies an astonishing number of people are going to find themselves accused, one can safely predict at this point, of some atrocious behavior in a free republic. And it will not just be the small change of Peter Strzok (the dimwitted director of counter-intelligence) and his gal pal Lisa Page. It will include—on one level or another—James Comey, Loretta Lynch, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice and, almost inevitably, Barack Obama, not to mention others known and unknown.

All these people's reputations will be damaged forever for the pathetic purpose of getting Hillary Clinton elected president and later for their determination to manipulate the FBI and intelligence agencies to wound as severely as possible Trump's presidency. That they didn't stop to think that they might be wounding America at the same time is extraordinarily selfish and nauseating.

Brennan...Isn’t he the one who converted to islam to save his own skin? He should pound sand. Or perhaps while he has his butt in the air one morning praying to the devil, should crawl up inside of it and shut the hell up.

And, unsurprisingly, the tV watchers are eating it up.

The "TV watchers?" -- all 5 million of them in a nation of more than 310 million people? LOL.

I think we are wrong to underestimate the power of traditional media and to overestimate the influence of so-called new media, at least conservative new media. Maybe nobody much actually follows CNN on television, but thanks to Facebook, Twitter and the like, its influence is ubiquitous. That was obvious to me as I looked for coverage of the McCabe firing this morning; it was all “evil Trump” everywhere I looked.

I must agree. I think Jeff had no choice here. Sessions has stood by and watched (and defended) Rosenweasel rubber stamp anything and everything Mueller does. The crap Mueller is doing is way past Sessions recusal yet Jeff does nothing. I wish l believed McCabe firing is the beginning but l think we got tossed a bone.

“All these people’s reputations will be damaged forever ...”

Um, no ... this will not happen.

These people will be portrayed as martyrs in the Deep State run “Media”.

Most of the people in the country still get their news from them and will be told that this is Trump’s purge of gov’t people who were “getting too close” to finding the “goods” on him.

Believe me, this is how this will be played in the coming months.

Too many people in the country can not think beyond the end of their noses or would rather have others do the thinking for them.

I find that when I talk with people at work or in my town and the subject of what is going on in Washington comes up, the VAST majority of them have no clue what is going on ... to complicated to understand or its just “politics as usual”. The most people can wrap their heads around is the Stormy Daniels situation.

And as trivial as these past “special” elections have been, we are seeing the dems reap the harvest of simple minds who can only grasp tabloid news which is all anti Trump.

It’s not just the FIB.

“At which point he quietly leaves the country and shows up in some ME country that has no extradition treaty with the US, like Qatar(?) (That’s a question), and does all he can to draw attention to himself, and also dons a blue turban.”

And that’s also when America “earns it’s stripes as a banana republic,” where failed leaders are forced into exile. I never thought I’d live to see the day when and American President had to flee the country to avoid being prosecuted and jailed for what he did while president, but that is surely a possibility now.

Watched NBC news to see how they reported the firing. Never mentioned was recommended by FBI and OPR-repeatedly relayed comments about Trump’s tweets and made it appear that Trump wanted him fired and Sessions gave in. Then Andrea Mitchell statement that someone who is close to McCabe in the government could rehire him so that would allow for him to keep his pension. There will be a way he keeps his pension.

I can’t believe Sessions statement was not more detailed- like saying he forced other agents to change their forms, etc. News reporting is feeling sorry for McCabe.

Sessions didn’t kick off the IG.

Sessions picked and empowered and continues to support RosenWeasel.

McCabe was fired for very recent and minor transgressions compared to his actions over the last few years. He is getting a slap on the wrist at the moment. Should Session prosecute him, THAT would be news.

Nope- he let Lois Lerner go, uncharged. He won’t un-recuse himself. He mislead Trump knowing full well he was going to recuse himself. He didn’t do the honorable thing for his President. He should have stepped aside. Because of the recusal, we got Rosenstein who appointed Mueller who is now going after Trump Org.

FBI takes on ‘Islamophobia’: White nationalism seen as bigger threat than jihadism Leo Hohmann ^ | 1/26/18 | FR Posted by markomalley

Two Michigan residents attended a BRIDGES meeting hosted by the Detroit office of the FBI recently that left them stunned by the level of Islamist infiltration at the Bureau. BRIDGES is a quarterly FBI outreach program that stands for Building Respect in Diverse Groups to Enhance Sensitivity, whereby the FBI hosts workshops for law enforcement and various immigrant communities.

They’ve been held in Boston, Detroit, Houston and Minneapolis-St. Paul and some city police departments host similar meetings on their own, without the FBI in attendance. According to the FBI website, BRIDGES “brings together members of diverse communities and state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies to discuss issues and concerns within their communities.” In southeastern Michigan, those diverse communities include an array of Islamic migrant enclaves, both Shia and Sunni, as well as Coptic, Chaldean and Assyrian Christians forced to flee their Middle Eastern homelands by the Islamic State and other jihadist groups. The outreaches can sometimes go to bizarre lengths to demonstrate the FBI’s respect for Islam. In St. Paul, for example, the FBI boasted in its Oct. 7, 2014 edition of the Law Enforcement Bulletin that the local police department “hosted its first halal cookout” with the Somali Muslim community.

The Jan. 10 FBI BRIDGES meeting in Michigan serves as a fresh reminder of how the FBI has made a concerted effort to divert the eyes of law enforcement away from Muslim communities as potential breeding grounds for terror and refocus attention on “Islamophobic” American citizens. The meeting, held at the Troy Police and Fire Training Center in Oakland County, an affluent suburb of Detroit, was described as “painful to watch” by two guests who attended. Dick Manasseri, an activist with Secure Michigan and a resident of Oakland County, gained entry to the meeting by way of a guest invitation from the American Middle Eastern Christian Congress, a regular attendee. But he said he heard nothing about the plight of persecuted Middle Eastern Christians now living in Oakland County. Instead, almost the entire hour-and-a-half meeting was spent focusing on Islamic religious and cultural practices and trying to debunk any derogatory information police officers may have received about Islamic ideology.

The FBI’s point person for this task was Bushra Alawie, a young female Muslim wearing a full head covering, or hijab. Alawie served in the Army National Guard and upon leaving the Guard in September 2016 the FBI hired her to be its “community outreach specialist” in Detroit. The mother of four spoke confidently and without any trace of an accent during her presentation on Islamic “cultural education.” “I get that initial look like, ‘is that really Bushra’ because of my visibly Muslim attire,” she told Detroit’s WXYZ-TV in 2016. “Immediately those rumors are dispelled and it’s business as usual.” Alawie admitted in the WXYZ interview that her real mission at the FBI is not to ferret out tips and information useful in the apprehension of terrorists but rather it is to “combat Islamophobia.”

That just happens to be the same exact mission of the Muslim Brotherhood-offshoot Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has an entire division called the Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia. And while he did not attend the January meeting, CAIR’s Michigan chapter head, Dawud Walid, has a standing invitation to the FBI’s quarterly BRIDGES meetings in metro Detroit. Also on the FBI’s invite list is CAIR’s former Michigan chapter leader, Muthanna Al-Hanooti, who was convicted in 2011 of conspiring to work for a foreign government, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, and making false statements to the same FBI. Yes, that would be the same FBI which now courts him as a guest at its Detroit-area outreach meetings.

WATCH VIDEO AT WEB SITE : Meet Bushra Alawie, a Muslim woman working for the FBI

About that phrase “Allahu Akbar,” so frequently shouted during the commission of Islamic terrorist attacks, Alawie assured the police officers in attendance not to worry or give it a second thought. According to her, “Allahu Akbar”:

<><>Is said by Muslims 85 times a day

<><>Was said by Jews and Christians before Islam began

<><>Would be used to celebrate the birth of a child or in the prayer of a sick person

<><>Is perfectly normal and not particularly associated with violent jihad.

She explained that “jihad” means: An inner struggle – for her to “not eat cheesecake” Higher jihad – inner struggle Lower Jihad – to defend one’s property.

She mentioned that “Jihad” was even a name taken by Christian men on occasion and that there was an FBI employee of Palestinian descent whose name was Jihad. According to Alawie, if we Americans understand these subtleties, then we will be well on our way to wiping out Islamophobia. Where did the impetus for this FBI focus on Islamophobia come from?

It certainly did not originate in Oakland County, Michigan, or even Washington. It’s international in scope. “Combating Islamophobia” has been a top priority, since at least 2005, of the United Nations and the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a 57-nation group of Muslim-majority nations that makes up the largest voting bloc at the U.N.

The OIC adopted its 10-year Strategic Action Plan to Overcome Islamophobia in 2005, calling for nations to pass new laws “including deterrent punishments” for those guilty of Islamophobia. This crime was described as any speech that counters the OIC’s statement that “Islam is the religion of moderation and tolerance.”

This 10-year plan served as the basis for the 2011 U.N. Human Rights Resolution 16/18, which encourages every nation in the world to adopt hate-speech laws making “defamation of religion” a crime. There is only one religion, however, that seeks to punish people for speech deemed offensive to its members – Islam. Many nations in Western Europe, including the UK, Germany and Sweden obliged, as did Canada, and passed hate-speech laws geared toward punishing these vile Islamophobes. It was also around this same time frame – 2010 to 2012 – that lesson plans in public schools across the United States started incorporating large sections on Islam, emphasizing it as a religion of peace and tolerance. Any teacher who resisted was an Islamophobe.

In 2013 the OIC opened an office in Brussels explicitly for the purpose of combating Islamophobia in Europe.In February 2017 U.N. Secretary General Antonio Gutteres cited “Islamophobia” as the fuel that has ignited the rise of global terrorism. This U.N. focus on Islamophobia came during the peak offensives of ISIS, al-Nusra and other jihadist groups conducting a genocide against Christian minorities in Iraq and Syria – exposing the global body’s agenda as more concerned about speech deemed offensive to Muslims than beheadings, rapes and mass-murdering of Christians.

Philip Haney, a former Customs and Border Protection officer who became a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 and a member of the Advanced Targeting Team before retiring in July 2015, said the FBI did not get to the point of rolling out Bushra Alawie overnight. When Haney tried to blow the whistle on Homeland Security ineptitude, he found himself the target of repeated investigations and harassment. A critical data template he developed to catch terrorists before they strike was erased from the DHS computer system. He was an Islamophobe.

Haney believes the term “Islamophobia” was created by the global Islamic movement to set up a watered-down version of the blasphemy laws that terrorize Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East. Instead of a stern-looking mullah or sheikh enforcing the blasphemy laws under penalty of death, the Muslims in the West use people like Bushra Alawie, who deliver the same warning with a smile, under penalty of losing one’s reputation and career.

“She wouldn’t have been given that platform under the old rules,” Haney said. “These concessions to Islam have been developing for a long time, and the fact that someone like her would be endorsed by the FBI and given that platform, it would never have happened without all those previous developments at the OIC, U.N., and the fervent work of Obama holdovers in the FBI.”

Scrubbing FBI training manuals One of the more crucial developments came in 2011 – the same year the U.N. adopted Resolution 16/18. That’s when more than 50 Muslim organizations, many with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, sent a letter to Obama’s then-deputy national security adviser John Brennan demanding he remove from FBI training manuals all references to Islam deemed offensive to Muslims. They also requested that the FBI and DHS rid themselves of all “biased experts” – people like Haney – and “immediately create an inter-agency task force to address the problem.”

Brennan and then-FBI chief Robert Mueller fell over like a stack of dominos. They immediately scrubbed the training manuals and began purging federal agencies of patriots with expert knowledge of Islamist ideology. Instead of true terrorism experts, police would receive training from people like Bushra Alawie, the smooth-talking, hijab-wearing Muslim apologist with the contagious smile. Since most local police chiefs get training from the FBI Academy, the same drivel that now passes for counter-terrorist instruction at the Bureau gets filtered down to police departments nationwide. But Trump is rectifying all of this right? Unfortunately, no. All of the Muslim infiltrations of the government remain in place. Hiring a woman like Alawie to present an unrealistic view of Islam is the new normal at the FBI.

Other highlights from the BRIDGES meeting: Troy Mayor Dane Slater welcomed the meeting attendees to the “most diverse city in Michigan.” Troy Police Chief Gary Mayer, along with four of his senior officers, welcomed their federal counterparts from the FBI and witnessed the guidance provided by the FBI regarding the “normalcy of Allahu Akbar” and ”the benevolent jihad.” Praise was offered for the Obama-appointed former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade who was fired by Trump. Examples offered of domestic terrorism repeatedly focused on white supremacist groups, who are seen as more dangerous than Islamic terrorism according to the teaching of the previous administration and the United Nations-endorsed Strong Cities Network. The FBI’s special agent in charge of Detroit said there remains no clear motive for the Las Vegas massacre. Mental health was injected as an explanation for violent activity per the Muslim Brotherhood playbook. Celebration of the long-standing civil rights partnership between the FBI and the Muslim community was marked with recognition awards. “Everything was about welcoming, welcoming, welcoming,” Manasseri said. “It was terribly discouraging, including when they talked about domestic terrorism and they kept coming back to white supremacism and how do you protect us from white nationalism? Stunning.” To counter the false and incomplete training being given by the FBI, Manasseri has co-founded a project called Sharia Crime Stoppers in partnership with a retired police chief.

“The Muslim Brotherhood-managed FBI and its pandering to Islam at 60-plus BRIDGES meetings since the 9/11 terrorist attacks provides ample evidence that Michigan is already living under Sharia, even while it contemplates the candidacy of Sharia-compliant and Muslim Brotherhood-groomed candidate Abdul El-Sayed for governor,” Manasseri said.

El-Sayed is running on the Democratic ticket in Michigan’s 2018 gubernatorial race. CAIR’s Dawud Walid has already said, in an article for the Detroit News, that any questions to Muslim candidates about Sharia law are off limits. For any journalist or concerned citizen to ask such a question would be Islamophobic.

The only thing owed that stooge Sessions is a pink slip. Sessions has done zero here. This comes from an IG report commissioned by dems, NOT Sessions. Try as he might Sessions could not sweep this under the swamp. If Sessions had an ounce of credibility most of these felons would be in their sentencing stages by now. How the Sessions’ shills can overlook the year plus record of being a bag man for the swamp and hang your hats on the results of an investigation Sessions had nothing to do with is amazing.
