On Democrats’ request, McCabe investigated not just Trump but Sessions, as well
The National Sentinel ^ | 3/6/19 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 03/06/2019 5:01:01 AM PST by SleeperCatcher

Top FBI official Andrew McCabe did not just investigate President Trump. As he notes in a little-publicized part of his new book, McCabe even investigated his department boss — then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions — after Senate Democrats asked McCabe to look into allegations Sessions perjured himself during his confirmation hearings when he denied meeting with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.

Sessions had, in fact, met with the Russian ambassador. He later corrected the record and explained he had forgotten speaking with the official and was not trying to mislead Congress.

Ordering the Sessions probe was “another unprecedented, partisan action that has been forgotten,” said former federal prosecutor Solomon L. Wisenberg, a partner at Nelson Mullins LLP in Washington.

McCabe dished a healthy portion of scorn on Sessions in his book, “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.” He accused him of having “trouble focusing” and having to overcome a “huge learning curve for an attorney general.” He claimed he wasn’t even reading briefing materials on national security threats. McCabe also accused Sessions of being Islamophobic and making racist comments in meetings. He even claimed that the attorney general thought federal agents who were taken hostage overseas “had it coming” and shouldn’t be rescued.

You know what that meeting was....They were in the same room during some international event. IIRC, Sessions said he didn’t remember because it was just two people among 100s...in the same room.

..the Sessions probe was “another unprecedented, partisan action that has been forgotten[."]

Do tell? I've listened to some radio commentators whine that PDJT's emergency executive order is unconstitutional, yet the Dems are shredding the Constitution daily.

McCabe also accused Sessions of being Islamophobic..

You mean that we should not fear the threat of Islam? That to express skepticism of a socioeconomic religion that literally wants to either enslave, force into dhimmitude, or kill us is irrational or non PC? McCabe and his fellow travelers need to be rebuked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He was not required to list people he talked to as a Senator because that was already on the record. But no need to bring facts into the equation.

Oh yeah, Lil Andy McCrook. Whitewashed the Hillary Criminal enterprise. Investigated a Incoming President, that he started during the Primaries to ruin his Campaign, smeared a Political Campaign thru his office to News Outlets, paid for lies to be created, approved Fake FISA warrant Applications all while His wife was given a 650,000 dollar donation funneled from the Clinton Cabal.

FUAM

But they didn’t jump to investigate all of the corrupt democrats for any republicans did they? Because the democrats have 0 ethics we really are in danger of losing this country.

McCabe mentioned in his book that Mueller left his cell phone in Trump's office after a meeting that had to be retrieved later.

QUESTION Why would McCabe even know this?

ANSWER Looks like in the Obama police state everybody was in on the crooked action to "get Trump."
One hacked email revealed two FBI lovebirds discussing that Pres Obama "wants to know everything we're doing."

Schiff-head is saying "he's gonna do the job Mueller didnt do." How does Schiff know? Who is Schiff colluding with?

After what Sessions did, or didn’t do as the case is, I really don’t have any sympathy for him. If he was just going to be a potted plant, he should have never taken the job.

More obstruction of justice by the Dems. They were trying to influence an investigation.

(HAT TIP MAGUA) This is a Gestapo trial.

Yesterday, someone described this as McCarthyism. I say no.
These people are worse---they are Gestapo thugs plotting to round-up 80 people.
Remember they are not after the president they are after you!

‘Speaking with’ versus ‘meeting with’ ...there’s a huge difference and scarily demonstrates how easy it is to be caught in a perjury trap.

THIS is what US politicians DO with taxpayers’ revenue and government resources

THEY think it’s why they were sent to DC

We have Government via ‘Media Whores’ ... America is now the place where ANY incompetent, unprincipled jerks can call themselves ‘politicians’ and interfere with long-standing, proper and legitimate processes.

Outside of ‘politics’ none of these creeps could find jobs or succeed to the extent they do as ‘public officials’

Yes, blame the victim. It’s becoming clear that they intended to do to Sessions what they were doing to President Trump. I recall even outlandish attacks claiming Sessions worked for the Russians.

This may explain why Sessions was reluctant to drill into SpyGate. If they can destroy and overthrow a president, what could the Deep State do to a lower level person?

Everyone from President Trump down to every American has been victimized by these seditionist scoundrels. Every American and the Constitution has been victimized.

Sessions is a big boy. If he smelled something fishy, he could have resigned early on when it was still his decision.

Maybe all this “scorn” McCabe is heaping on Sessions is really a ruse to provide cover, IF, as some suspect, Sessions actually WAS a proverbial potted plant, passing on info on Trump via a wire. (I have a tinfoil hat of my own).
