What was the purpose of them meeting then that time? A guy like Barr would have smelled Huber a mile away if he stunk.

The L stands for loser, which is you when everything turns to light.

Not telling anyone about any findings or the appearance of looking can go both ways.

One of the most misused and misunderstood parts of our government is the word, classified information. The appropriate classification level would be expected to usually be determined by the information disclosure risks because those risks largely determine the magnitude of the net damage that could be caused by such disclosure.

We, the public, do not have a say in how an investigation is performed or need to know. You only have to look at the Clinton computer fiasco to determine that. When the public was told that she had a system that was secure, and not to worry, did anyone think that was possible and she couldn’t get hacked? But the news media went into high gear and kept the public anesthetized until she had a chance to strip over 50k emails and had her system bleached. Does anyone think she would have done that if she didn’t find out her system was hot?

Also, whose going to investigate the FBI? The FBI’s activities are supposedly regularly scrutinized by a variety of entities. Congress—through several oversight committees in the Senate and House—reviews the FBI’s budget appropriations, programs, and selected investigations.

Is this the same congress that has been monitoring the investigation of Trump for 3 plus years and now is calling the investigators liars? Weren’t they in charge of reviewing the investigation?

The results of FBI investigations are often reviewed by the judicial system during court proceedings. Within the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI is responsible to the attorney general, and it reports its findings to U.S. Attorneys across the country. The FBI’s intelligence activities are overseen by the Director of National Intelligence.

Unfortunately the last hands on DNI, Porter J. Goss, lost his job in 2005 when the position was disolved. The duties are now shared, and I’m not sure who does what (or they do either), between the Director of National Intelligence and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Try getting straight information out of those two asylums. With them for many years, it’s been “a failure to communicate.”

So don’t complain about what you don’t see. If we can be forced to go through 3 years and $50+ million to come up with nothing but words that have no basis for proof because they were working so hard to disprove the election they lost, they will stretch this out until 2020 so they can try like hell to prove something on somebody.

And to be a bit skeptical here, what does Trump’s financial records concerning his taxes or his sex life with a hooker have to do with Russian collusion? Mata Hari died in 1917. Both Biden and Sanders are older than Trump. Why didn’t congress investigate them.

I’m trying hard to remember one instance in all your posts where you stated or predicted something that ended up being borne out by facts. That said, I do enjoy the humor I get from reading your stuff.

Fair points and good questions. Huber probably has what he needs.

Just shut up and wait. The world does not run on your timetable.

“How do you compromise a source/client who has already gone public, and who is paying you to help get the information public?”

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We’ll find out eventually. But for now, it’s disconcerting. Toesning’s client has for years claimed information about illegalities regarding Clinton/Uranium One.

We can’t know if the whistleblower is legit or a fraud, but neither can Huber, until he’s at least interviewed the guy. And, apparently, he still hasn’t.

Of course he does. But FReepers are used to showboating AGs or prosecutors giving press conferences every hour. The idea of them doing yeoman’s work wearing a 70s tie next to a broken coffeemaker is foreign to them. If Eric Holder was a Republican, they’d support him.

Getting along with all his “esteemed colleagues” was his first priority. Sessions was a team player— for the wrong team.
That backstabbing little bastard needs to be investigated for being a spy/mole in the campaign.

I can't believe no one is suspicious of that little weasel.

Well, if Clinton would have won, Toensing and her clients would be in some Arkansas lake somewhere. Just be happy that Trump is President and things are at least happening

If we do not see heads roll over this, now plain, ‘seditious conspiracy’ I will consider it PROOF that the DOJ, NSA, CIA and FBI are little more than steaming plies of horse Sh*t.
They will have proven they are in fact ‘enemies’ of our republic, every last one of them.
Democrats and their deep state attack dogs are turning us into a ‘turd world’ country.

Exaaaaactly.

Some people just can't seem to understand there's a new Sheriff in town. And his name is The Donald.

They'll know soon enough.

No worry's.

Hannity's rank and file FBI angels will be looking into it anytime now.

You know. All those FBI agents you see all over the news everyday telling us how it's not them, it's only the big boys...OH WAIT!.

BTW, does anyone else remember when Bill Met Loretta on the tarmac in Arizona? And, never mind the secret meeting with Lynch and Bill, the only question the FBI had was which agent was the rat?

Jeff Sessions was nearly fatal to the Trump Presidency.

Jeff Sessions should apologize for ducking so bad.

Along with everyone who smugly lectured us about trusting him. Won’t hold my breath on that one.
