Shortened title.

Full title: Judge Napolitano Says FBI Director Christopher Wray Has Made It Clear He Will Not Share Docs With Congress

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said he was disturbed by FBI Director Christopher Wray’s refusal to cooperate with Congress in their mission to obtain certain documents.

“What I saw yesterday that startled me the most, it wasn’t the Democrats getting their narrative out of this, that this has nothing to do with Russia or the Republicans getting their narrative out of this. That the investigation of Hillary was so wide of a mark, we’ve never seen anything like it. It was obviously motivated by politics” Napolitano said on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday.

“I saw a message from Chris Wray, the director of the FBI to Devin Nunes, ‘we are not giving up documents that are protected by privilege.’ What’s protected by privilege? The Mueller documents that were shown to a grand jury that reflect the thoughts and impressions of investigators and prosecutors, or where witnesses were promised confidentiality,” he said.

I wonder if the docs implicate Obama.

AND Mrs. Clinton?

One suspects a high possibly of precisely these.

OK, let’s back the hell up! Anyone with even half a brain and who’s been paying attention already knows that the same group of people (Rosenstein, Comey, McCabe, Mueller, Strzok and Page) were/are involved in the Clinton “investigation” and the Mueller witch hunt, which are inextricably and directly related.

The Clinton investigation involved criminal violation of national security classification guidelines, conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence, all of which are illegal.

The Russian witch hunt involved conspiracy, the filing of a false affidavit, misrepresenting facts to a federal judge, the misuse of national security letters, illegal surveillance, spying on American citizens and the illegal and unauthorized unmasking of US persons - all ILLEGAL.

Someone enlighten me: What “privilege” protects US government employees engaged in illegal activity? What Wray is apparently telling us is that Comey - his predecessor, offered them protection and he’s making good on the deal.

Fire him hell! Give him a fair and speedy trial and hang his goat-smelling ass!

Until something actually happens, I will remain skeptical that any of the beltway criminals will ever be held to account.

Sessions is a feckless ____

Congress could, but won’t arrest Wray in a hearing and hold him in the Capitol jail. Lock him up until he cooperates. Nice fantasy.

No, then all of the ongoing investigations would be compromised

There are no ongoing investigations...The DOJ is compromised.

This is not hard.

No, but the President can start unclassifying any documents that strike his fancy.

Can Trump just close the FBI? Does he need Congress to do it?

“Can Trump just close the FBI? “

Yes. He can also fire sessions, rosenstein and mueller...The problem with cleaning the traitorous rats out of the DOJ is that the rinos and neverTrumpers in his own party will not back his play. In fact, they will join the demoncrats in his impeachment. Trump knows this all too well.

Obama AND The Clinton Foundation were all on Hillary’s personal party line.

According to Horowitz’s report, Obama was one of only a few people who had “direct contact” with Clinton through her private email account.”

FBI analysts and Prosecutor 2 told us that Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom Clinton had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account,” the report noted. Bongino said the emails coming into Obama’s personal cell-phone had to be vetted in advance, meaning it had to go through White House security.......a perfect incentive for Obama’s Department of Justice to disappear the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

After all, he would show up as one of the colluders.

AND THIS——Hillary routinely sent her SOS itinerary to The Clinton Foundation....so Bill could determine who to shakedown next.

The Democrats very well may get away with it. They did not achieve the goal of anointing Clinton by coup, treason and felony votes but they will be ready next time because nothing will be done to prevent any of this from recurring.
