Judicial Watch: New Documents Show FBI Deputy Director McCabe Did Not Recuse Himself

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released Justice Department records showing that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe did not recuse himself from the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s unsecure, non-government email server until Tuesday, November 1, 2016, one week prior to the presidential election. The Clinton email probe was codenamed “Midyear Exam.”

While working as Assistant Director in Charge of the Washington Field Office, McCabe controlled resources supporting the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. An October 2016 internal FBI memorandum labeled “Overview of Deputy Director McCabe’s Recusal Related To Dr. McCabe’s Campaign for Political Office,” details talking points about McCabe’s various potential conflicts of interest, including the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s illicit server, which officially began in July 2015:

While at [Washington Field Office] did Mr. McCabe provide assistance to the Clinton investigation?

After the referral was made, FBI Headquarters asked the Washington Field Office for personnel to conduct a special investigation. McCabe was serving as [Assistant Director] and provided personnel resources. However, he was not told what the investigation was about. In February 2016 McCabe became Deputy Director and began overseeing the Clinton investigation.

The Overview also shows if asked whether McCabe played any role in his wife’s campaign, the scripted response was: “No. Then-[Assistant Director] McCabe played no role, attended no events and did not participate in fundraising or support of any kind.”

In June 2017, Circa reported that social media photos showed “McCabe wearing a T-shirt supporting his wife’s campaign during a public event and then posting a photo on social media urging voters to join him in voting for his wife.”

I suspect DJT has played these dirty cops using their own medicine. The Deep State always uses compromised people to do their dirty work, so they can’t credibly whistle-blow even if they wanted to. And it’s why they have the ability to compromise anybody else too - think of Sharyl Attkisson, whose computer had classified records planted on it via government software.

I suspect that DJT has known that all these folks - Mueller, Rosenstein, McCabe, etc - are neck-deep in Clinton’s crimes so he let them have positions of power where they (of course) led a witch-hunt against him, using all the same political players and illegalities as always. And then - after the media was invested in how “honest” and “fair” the investigation against Trump was, DJT let these criminals-in-charge know that he has indictments ready to use against them if they don’t do the right thing to help drain the swamp.

Trump is smart like a fox. I think he just might be beating them at their own game. If so, it couldn’t happen to a better crew of criminal jerks.

Thing is, to get half of the country to even listen, the indictments against Hillary, Podestas, Huma, etc had to come from the left. This is the only way this country can drain the swamp. And who knows. Maybe after the others are indicted, these crooks will also end up indicted. I can always dream.

But Donna Brazile exposing Hillary’s control of the DNC (that had just been revealed as the funders for the Trump “dossier”) is a seismic shift. Her mention of Seth Rich is huge - especially considering that Seth was a huge Bernie fan (and Brazile had revealed that Sanders had been screwed in the primary, though she’s now trying to backtrack on that it looks like) and had turned to be VERY anti-Hillary right before the DNC email leak AND considering the data transfer rates show the leak was a leak and not a hack.

The fact that Saudis associated with Hillary and the Podestas have been arrested for corruption is also huge, and puts this whole clean-up operation on a worldwide level.

Stuff is happening. Interesting that it comes right after DJT had taunted the media about “the calm before the storm”.

I’ll say it again: Donald J Trump is smart like a fox. I feel hope rising. I’ve been praying about this for a long time. Let’s all keep praying that the truth will be revealed and justice will once again become a real word in the American vocabulary.

Yes, but when the DOJ and the FBI are corrupt, where do you go for justice

Congress refuses to do their Job, but if they ever put the Pipe down and get off their lazy quisling asses, they really do Control Everything and have unbelievable power.

Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!

“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”

Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.

In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
