James Comey gave his follow-up testimony to Congress this week, in which he continued to profess memory loss about most of the 2016 investigation of the Trump campaign. Then again, the joke was on the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thanks to two years of dogged investigation, House Republicans already know the story of the FBI’s 2016 doings. Mr. Comey wasn’t there to provide new details. He was there to account for his actions.
That’s the crowning achievement of this 115th Congress. Tax and criminal-justice reform and judicial appointments are all hugely important. But House and Senate investigators get pride of place for unraveling one of the greatest dirty tricks of our political times, in which a Democratic administration, party and presidential campaign either co-opted or fooled the FBI into investigating the Republican campaign. Lawmakers got to the bottom of this despite partisan attacks and institutional obstruction. Congress has taken that probe about as far as was ever going to be possible. The next steps are up to the White House.
In January 2017, CNN reported the explosive news that “classified documents” from a “credible” “former British intelligence operative” alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians. It sounded bad and set off a hysteria that led to the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the firing of national security adviser Mike Flynn, the launching of half a dozen investigations, and the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Senior officials, including Mr. Comey, watched all this in full knowledge of the dossier’s provenance. They said nothing.

What is the punishment for a coup attempt?
And what is the punishment for those who knew about it and did nothing?
Rogers, Sessions, Kelly and now Mattis..
4 patriots that are now available for other duties.
I’m looking for some action pretty soon.
From history.com: In 1909:
“The federal government used the bureau as a tool to investigate criminals who evaded prosecution by passing over state lines, and within a few years the number of agents had grown to more than 300. The agency was opposed by some in Congress, who feared that its growing authority could lead to abuse of power.”
Even in 1909 some prescient congress critters had the FBI pegged.
Get rid of these tyrants, and NEVER talk to the FBI.
The FBI has an annual budget of 9 billion they deign to let us to know about. Everyone is fighting about $5 billion for a an actual wall, amazing.
Freegards
FBI oversight = FBI overlooking
The FBI is basically Antifa in a suit too expensive for a government salary.
Clever bitt.
WELCOMETO FREE REPUBLIC
Comey needs a sanity hearing, and if found sane, then charged with lying to Congress, contempt of Congress (I don’t remember), unprofessional conduct, and assisting an attempt to overthrow the government of the United States.
Jail time, for many years, loss of all his pensions/benefits/Free govt cheese, and a perp walk down Constitution Avenue in DC, right in front of the FBI headquarters building.
I want to be there to photo that scene.
you get to write a book and make millions
Senior officials, including Mr. Comey, watched all this in full knowledge of the dossier’s provenance. They said nothing.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Jail time for them all.Long jail time.
Was the lack of being under oath get mentioned in the whole piece? you know - no penalty for lying?
I do not trust the fbi to do the right thing for the people anymore. They have been involved in so much under handed illegal activities. They use classification to hide these activities from the people. They have also been involved in false flags to manipulate the public. Las Vegas is one of many.
