McCabe's Domino Is Only the First to Fall
American Thinker ^ | 03/19/2018 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 03/19/2018 9:03:52 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Oh, what a tangled web the unindicted co-conspirators in the Deep State coup to keep Hillary Clinton out of prison and Donald Trump out of the White House have woven.  When you tell the truth, the adage goes, you never have to remember anything.  But when you lie, you have to remember the lies you told to cover the earlier lies, and you certainly have to keep your story in line with your other co-conspirators.

That Andrew McCabe, in his response to his firing, failed miserably on this score, implicating former FBI Director James Comey, is the conclusion of George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley:

In an op-ed run Saturday by The Hill, Turley pointed to a line in McCabe's statement criticizing his termination "that could be viewed as incriminating fired FBI director James Comey, not just in leaking sensitive information but also in lying to Congress."

McCabe commented on leaking information to a former Wall Street Journal reporter about the investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, saying he was authorized to "share" the information and did so with the knowledge of "the director," which would have been Comey at the time.

Turley explained why this is "problematic":

If the "interaction" means leaking the information, then McCabe's statement would seem to directly contradict statements Comey made in a May 2017 congressional hearing.  Asked if he had "ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation" or whether he had "ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation," Comey replied "never" and "no."

Oops.  Comey is already in legal jeopardy for leaking at least one memo written on government time and a government laptop regarding a private conversation with President Trump in the Oval Office.

Yes, it’s all about damage control. But it won’t work. There are too many cards in the crumbling house of cards.

Who is going to do that? Sessions, Trump, Senate, House. Don't hold your breath. I have lost faith that there is no law except communists Democratic law.

Trump would be in prison and his properties would have been confiscated for daring to run against the CHOSEN ONE.

From the article:

“Comey personally signed three FISA court applications utilizing that same dossier that he labeled “salacious and unverified” eight months later to obtain FISA court warrants to conduct surveillance on Carter Page, who briefly served as a volunteer foreign policy adviser to Trump’s 2016 campaign.”

“The memo documents that on October 21, 2016, the FBI and Justice Department sought and received the FISA order against Page, and that the agencies sought the renewal of the order every 90 days in accordance with court requirements. Renewals require separate finding of probable cause each time, the memo relates.”

“According to the memo, Comey “signed three FISA applications in question on behalf of the FBI, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe signed one.” Sally Yates, then-Acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein signed one or more of the applications on behalf of the Justice Department.”
________________________________________________________
If above is true, Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Sally Yates and Acting Dep. Atty Generl Dana Boente, knowingly signed applications to the FISA court containing false information. That’s a federal crime under Title 18 United States Code.

James Comey perjured himself before Congress, before the FISA court, and before the American people. Indict McCabe, then Comey, then just go down the list. McCabe promised to take people down with him if he was fired. Time to make some popcorn.

Yes indeed. From: The Coming Collusion Bloodbath:

"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."

I'm going to keep posting this until they're all behind bars or hung for treason:

These People attempted a Coup!

We the People shall not Rest until they are all investigated and tried for sedition and treason – nothing less – they covered up the Clinton Crimes and then tried to destroy the President-elect and our current President Donald Trump. They are still in the process of attempting a Coup! They have to be stopped!

#4: "Oh, oh, if Hillary had only won as promised...where would we be today on all of this?"

Dr. Gorka made that point last week. He said the scary thought is that if Hillary had won, all of this horrible subversion of law enforcement and the public trust would never have had been known.

We are still learning the depths of the Deep State treason, day by day. Who knows where these paths will lead?

Excellent suggestion for Art's great graphic display of the criminal actions of the DOJ/FBI against a presidential candidate and an elected President.
