Trump Zeroes In on Abedin, Comey; Says DOJ Should 'Act'

President Trump on Tuesday seemingly called for the Justice Department to look into Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s former aide, and James Comey, former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols,” he wrote on Twitter. “She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”

Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents.

The comments come after a report published Monday by the Daily Caller said Abedin forwarded State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her private email account on Yahoo before it was hacked. Their analysis was based on emails obtained by Judicial Watch as part of a lawsuit.

Abedin, the top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, used her insecure personal email provider to conduct sensitive work. This guarantees that an account with high-level correspondence in Clinton’s State Department was impacted by one or more of a series of breaches — at least one of which was perpetrated by a “state-sponsored actor.”

The U.S. later charged Russian intelligence agent Igor Sushchin with hacking 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The initial hack occurred in 2014 and allowed his associates to access accounts into 2015 and 2016 by using forged cookies. Sushchin also worked for the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which paid former President Bill Clinton $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow.

A separate hack in 2013 compromised three billion accounts across multiple Yahoo properties, and the culprit is still unclear. “All Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft,” the company said in a statement. (DC)

According to an FBI report, Abedin regularly forward government emails to her Yahoo account.

“She would use these accounts if her (State) account was down or if she needed to print an email or document. Abedin further explained that it was difficult to print from the DoS system so she routinely forwarded emails to her non-DoS accounts so she could more easily print,” the report states.

In August 2009, the emails forwarded to her private account included one that contained password information for her government laptop.

Comey said in 2016 that emails of Clinton associated had been compromised.

“We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private email accounts of individuals with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her private account,” he said.

Justice Department is part of the Executive Branch; i.e., they answer to the President.

Trump needs to direct Sleepy Jeff to get his rear in gear on this matter, among others—”Protocol” be damned.

The DO”J” is conflicted.

Huma gave the checks from the Clinton Foundation
to various wives of the DO”J” and FB”I”

AND

They sneer at POTUS and Congress, claiming that
giving the passwords to Enemies of the American
People was just more of their “insurance”.

Had any one of us done just a minuscule fraction of what Abedin, Clinton and Wiener did, we would be in prison for the rest of our lives.

These people need comeuppance..................

Trump has to do something demonstrable to show that he is draining the Swamp.

Sessions is proving to be one of Trump’s biggest problems. He has to find a way to remove him and restore confidence in our judicial system. Tweets are good, but its time to act now.

If Sessions can’t perform the role of AG, shouldn’t he step down? It’s been a year.

In Trump’s business how long would an incompetent like that stooge Sessions last? Fire him now. Fire Rosenstein in two weeks if he refuses to act. Give the next guy two weeks , then fire him,etc., etc. Eventually you’ll find an acting AG who is not a swamp dwelling deep state stooge.

Huma knows where all the Clinton bodies are buried.
Put the screws on her with a long prison sentence
and she will sing like a bird.

In order to prosecute the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation, first one would have to find someone who was not complicit.

Sessions IS the PROBLEM.

Investigations, Indictments, and PROSECUTIONS should have began TEN MONTHS ago under Sessions.

The ONLY question is WHY NOT?

Agree. The latest Abedin revelation is a gift horse for Trump. What better time to push for action in DOJ than now? And if there’s resistance, what better time to fire them than now?

All done to preserve our national security. Perfect timing for Trump.

President Trump: “Deep State Justice Dept must finally act?”

Looks like even the president is unaware of the multi-dimensional stealthy chess moves being made by Jeff.

**************

The only explanation is that he’s compromised, and therefore unfit for the job. Replace him NOW!

I don’t get this tweet... does he not understand that his hand-sitting Attorney General works for him and is a phone call away? I’m not getting his refusal to directly call Sessions and ask him what the hell his problem is in regards to his refusal to start inquiries for all of this Demonic Party illegality.
