The firing of Andrew McCabe, the discovery of his “private notes,” the ill-tempered response by other Obama loyalists and a yet to be disclosed Inspector General’s report on an investigation that began before Donald Trump had come to office are all pieces of a story that dwarfs the still absent evidence of anything Trump and company did to cooperate with Russians in changing votes in Michigan and Wisconsin.
So many Democrats and Republicans have asserted the lack of evidence in the Russian collusion issue its become comical if not annoying to endure as the uninformed continue to argue otherwise.
But few have had interest in addressing a separate issue that demands attention. For while the Russians attempted mass chaos. The more serious scandal appears to have covered up criminal behavior, illicit manipulation of the FISA process, and an attempt to undo the quite serious results of an election.
Is there anything more sacred in our representative republic?
The scandal that goes mostly unmentioned began before the election had even occurred but appears to have continued well past the final results of election night, with one candidate winning 30 of 50 states, and racking up a 304 to 227 victory in the electoral college.
A victory that looks increasingly historic in light of what increasingly appears to be the collusion of the then current administration with one campaign, and in instance after instance attempting to push their thumb on the scale of the outcome.
The Democrats’ illicit partnership with the Obama Justice Department and what appears to be an increasingly corrupted leadership at the Federal Bureau of Investigation was yet one more logistical hurdle that President Trump would have to overcome in his surprising and transformational win.
Few remember, though my radio show discussed at length, the reports that surfaced in October of 2016. In reaction to the bizarre July 5th announcement by then FBI director James Comey, FBI officials revealed that members of the DOJ and FBI investigative teams that had worked the Hillary email case were “angered & disgusted” that the co-opted DOJ and FBI leadership ignored the very real analysis of evidence and decided against bringing criminal indictment against Hillary Clinton for the handling of top secret information. More than 100 FBI agents that worked the case, and more than 6 DOJ attorneys expressed their disgust, according to a source within the group.
It was later revealed that Comey had been prepared to exonerate Clinton in February of that year when he would yet not interview her until months later. She was also granted an interview, instead of being asked to testify under oath.
We discovered later that Team Hillary’s operation paid for opposition research on Trump that included the hiring of a disgraced British ex-spy, a law firm attached to Hillary, and a collection of accusations largely originating from Russian sources. This dossier was mostly discredited upon it’s discovery. Yet this partisan piece of opposition research for a campaign formed the basis for secretive surveillance on Trump campaign members and was continually extended. The other rationales for the FISA warrants included sources that also traced back to Hillary Clinton, one of them being a significant donor to the Clinton foundation.
Yet that disgraced ex-spy remained on retainer by the FBI beyond the discovery that the dossier was in large measure useless. Why would the Obama administration have him there at all?
Enter the illicit relationship between agents Strzok and Page, and the fact that from before election night, to well afterwards it appears a coordinated effort to undo the election results were thought to be a backstop by then Deputy Director McCabe and you have the elements leading the investigation into all of it that wilfully leaked information (a crime in itself) to the press that slanted in a decidedly pro-Hillary and anti-Trump direction.
Shuffle into the mix Loretta Lynch meeting with Bill Clinton on a tarmac, Dr. Susan Rice penning an imaginative “record” of a President “instructing” investigators to play it “by the book,” Comey penning what should be considered classified and protected notes of conversations he had with the new President and then wholesale gives them to people outside of government and this weekend Deputy Director McCabe admitting to evidently employing a similar practice.
Add to the mix conflicting testimony from former director Comey before Congress on back to back highly publicized visits.
What the universe has truly ignored is the fact that the Inspector General’s investigation (which has been far less publicized than Special Council Robert Mueller’s), and in large measure has had much more devastating impact. Agents have been fired, reassigned, and otherwise dealt with just within the process of the investigation. The limited amount of what we’ve seen from the efforts thus far have painted a picture of corruption at the highest levels, and potentially “Watergate” comparable outcomes upon the report’s issuance.
McCabe’s firing was directly linked to the IG’s findings, and once revealed to the Justice Department’s disciplinary powers a concurrent recommendation was termination.
That Comey, McCabe, and others have practiced an obvious double standard in the email case of Hillary Clinton where ample evidence caused 106 of the case agents and attorneys working on the case to believe indictment would occur, and simultaneously going to such extraordinary measures through the assistance of essentially Hillary’s campaign operation to attempt to thwart the outcome of the election is more than enough reason to go after them on a criminal basis alone.
That McCabe reportedly lied to the low key Inspector General, while attempting to send General Michael Flynn to prison for lying to the same FBI is of highest hypocrisy.
But hypocrisy is what Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and others seem especially gifted at.
In some respects Robert Mueller never asked for the position he finds himself in. But if he is not willing to look at the evidence before him and truly follow where it leads then it is time for him to go as well.
There was collusion in the election of 2016. It involved Russians, a British ex-spy, law firms, FBI agents, DOJ attorneys, an FBI director that prejudged evidence, an Attorney General that had an unethical meeting with the spouse of a target, FISA warrants obtained on faulty information that stemmed from political sources, a Deputy Director whose wife received monetary support in an election, an FBI director who lied to Congress, an FBI Deputy Director who lied to the Justice Department’s Inspector General, loads of classified materials that were mishandled and criminally passed to those without clearances, and partisan hacks spearheading inquiries aiming for political outcomes. The scope of this collusion is overwhelming, the attempts are a damning indictment of political operatives that have lost all integrity, and sadly an administration, a major political party, and agents of a deep state that attempted in a wide sweeping number of ways to undo an election that they lost.
Former high-ranking FBI officials (like Chris Swetzer who appeared with Harris Faulkner’s FoxNews broadcast on Friday) believe that the Inspector General’s coming report will be explosive.
For the sake of justice, above all else, I hope it brings clarity to a story our modern media landscape is highly invested in keeping as convoluted as possible.
I have faith in Sessions and I have faith in Mueller.
Read this article. It’s disgusting.
The Arab Spring started in 2011.
A half million people have died.
John Brennan helped Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar spread radical Islamist terrorists.
No wonder he hates President Trump.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), a member of the House Intelligence Committee,
Also hates President Trump, Schiff was involved too.
John Brennan
March 2013 to January 2017 Director of CIA
Worked for CIA from 1980 to 2005 stationed in Saudi Arabia
2009 to 2013 White House Assistant to the President for Homeland Security

How America Armed Terrorists in Syria

Yappy leftie press says Trump’s move is the “end of independence”. Oddly, they don’t think that a HALF MILLION DOLLAR contribution to his wife’s campaign would have any effect on “independence”.
“Hypocrisy”?
No.
Criminal behavior?
Yes.
This isn’t about politics. This isn’t about selecting the best person for a government job.
This is about thievery. It’s about crime.
We need to quit giving these Democrat thieves cover.
They don’t have high ideals to help humanity.
They have high hopes of helping themselves to lots of money.
And the Press isn’t filled with misguided children.
They know damn well that they are covering for Democrat thieves. They get their cut of the stolen goods.
It’s too bad that the Constitution doesn’t guarantee the right to a speedy trial in corrupt Congress’s anti-Trump mock court.
Had he started at the beginning of the article I would not have bothered to re-post the article.
the root of the issue are the home grown marxist muslims, death to America Crowd in the BHO HRC agenda. ITs their coalition who are causing the internal problems and allowed the genie to get our using the global might of the us of A to further their cause.
Benghazi was another front, where they attacked Christian western European man, also branded capitalists, though civilizational jihad. Buy kicking open the floodgates all the created refugees became economic migrants.
Its funny how islam cannot create ONE meaningful society, nor marxism, let alone a coalition.
Coalition for disaster is what it is...
There is only one answer for this......
Where is the evidence of collusion and crimes? Hint, it is not the Trump administration.
Trump attempted (a mistake in my book) to be magnanimous after the election and focus forward. All he has gotten is Mueller and Schiff and non-stop innuendo, insinuation, and outright lying from the leftist media.
Now, in the absence of evidence justifying the original reason for the appointment of a special counsel (hint, the indicted Russians were under investigation far before Mueller) the special counsel is going places that are outside of the original scope despite promises to the contrary when he was appointed.
The answer is simple. Take off the gloves Mr. President and DEMAND that all of the shenanigans by the other side be fully investigated with the same level of effort, expense, and scrutiny they have employed against you. There is a conflict of interest with the special counsel that could never be overcome in a court of law. Mueller cannot be expected to investigate the FBI and many of the key witnesses are people he knows and worked with.
The Clinton Foundation - THIS MUST BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY
FISAgate
Emailgate
The curious case of General Flynn and doctored 302’s
Campaign Finance violations and corruption within the DNC against Bernie
Fusion GPS
The dozens of leaks by congress, DOJ, state, and former Obama officials
The wholesale unmasking of U.S. citizens involved in an election campaign
This is all they apparently respect. It is time for another special counsel or perhaps more than one. There is no reasoning with them - they are committed to your destruction and it becomes more obvious every day. It is not only a tit for tat..... it is the justice that your supporters demanded and it is your campaign promise to drain the swamp.
Your faith is Sessions is justified. He has been able to sweep the mountains of evidence of this unprecedented corruption under the swamp. Sessions has proven to be the hero of heroes to the swamp and corrupt denizens who reside there.
Trust Sessions.
Trust Wray.
Trust the plan.
Where one go all go.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
I thought the kick back was $700,000. The part that isn’t reported is that the candidate can keep any contributions not used for themselves. That’s the kickback and the problem.
After the 'explosion' what will happen....everyone goes for drinks?
Thanks for that.
Any indictments of the left, anyone on the left will be met with hysteria from the media.
Prepare for that eventuality.
I have Faith in Jesus Christ, all others are corrupted men with favoritism and a normalcy bias. Sessions is an old man with no fire in the belly. Mueller, a partisan hack who rose to power the old fashioned way, sucking up.
I would suspect a sizable majority of Democrats would say it is appropriate to lie, steal, or brake the law in order to win an election in order to protect abortion rights, illegal immigrants, or global warming. They don’t realize, or don’t care, once one side doesn’t care about the rule of law, our nation is dead and all rights are gone.
