I believe this goes to the highest office in the land and it needs to come out.

You are far from alone in that belief. President Trump stated it when he said obama had my wires tapped. He was right then and you are right now.

It is not in the DNA of the current crop of “journalists” to apologize. Children of privilege and entitlement, they believe that reporting their prejudices and opinion somehow qualifies as “news”, and they are in some instances utterly blind to their gaps in thinking. Logic and reasoning have no place in their appraisal of what is “news”, if it bleeds, it leads. They actively go LOOKING for the bloodiest scenes their imaginations can conjure up.

“Good” gets lost in the dust.

“I believe this goes to the highest office in the land...”

Somehow, a Chicago woman quit her position in government to open up a position that a young Black man then filled. , A popular Republican senator left his race because, again, somehow, divorce records were opened up, and he was painted in a bad light (his ex having now remarried and living in France). All along the way, this man had people who greased the skids for him where his political enemies are concerned.

I believe 0bama has had it in for President Trump since Trump questioned the birth certificate. 0bama greenlighted it all AND has kept it going. Hillary just hopped on, along with the others.

As for the FIB, I hope everyone reading this knows to shut up around them. They’re Stasi/NKVD who speak English.

The filthy lying media doesn’t apologize. It deliberately and intentionally attempts to destroy Republicans and other normal people, and to promote democrats and other insane maniacs.

Damn straight they are.

I am sick and tired that every time that Fat Boy International is talked about they do no wrong at the boot level. BS, they are all black booted thugs that are just longing to put their boots on We the People's throat.

The Propaganda Machine has no intention of apologizing for anything and no intention of seeking truth--truth for its own sake. Its entire mission is to serve the corrupt politicians of the Democrat Party.

In the decadent phase of Western Civilization, those afflicted by it have only contempt for truth.

"Is there a damn thing in this “report” that was not in Bongino’s book two years ago? In Andrew McCarhty’s book last year?"

Not taking issue with your post but one has to wonder whom they would have blown the whistle too? Their leadership, the press, the DOJ, congress, the president? I don’t see any avenue for a whistle blower to address marxist sedition, subversion, and corruption in the FBI or any other government agency.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for it. They have been wildly and consistently wrong for years. If you were wrong and made mistakes that often in your profession, you would be fired.

I think the IG found out about the forgery by Clinesmith - though we already knew that Pages contacts with the Russians were being mischaracterized.

We knew that the Dossier was very, very, unverified, but did we know that the FBI had actually verified it was bogus with the primary source (and reported him as open and honest without including that he was open and honest that it was bartalk, gossip, and jests)?

BTW,

Here is a strong hint that the investigation was opened LONG before the time the FBI says it was.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bui45pQcy6E

March 2, 2016 Carter Page meeting – during a meeting where they are discussing him testifying against the three Russians in the case that resulted from his informing between 2008-2013, Page advises he recently volunteered for the Trump campaign.

Remember that they got the *first* FISA warrant AFTER Page had already left the Trump Campaign.

The lawyer goes back after the meeting and asks whether he has a clearance, and inquires as to what kind of investigation to open on him.

I think the only thing that wasn’t known may have been that an FBI agent committed fraud on the president by pretending to be there for a President’s Daily Brief when he was actually spying on the president. The entire FBI needs to be sent to the crusher and landfill for that.

It looks to me that many people on FR do not understand that the press, being free, is free to take sides as it wishes.


Rhetorically, ideologically, yes.

Reality-wise, there should be consequences to their reputation from readers/viewers, and their employment from their bosses.

Many of the things that were being reported on this had clear contradictions, and instead of adjusting their arguments, they disappeared them. Look at the liberals who were uninvited for CNN as an example.

This is the thing I don’t get about the FBI. Right now they have half the voters in the country ready to rip their guts out. What the hell do they think the future holds for them in the USA? If the country should survive their perfidy, which I seriously doubt, what the hell do they think will happen to them down the road when our dissatisfaction with them can be turned into action? They have let their short term passions turn into serious long term liabilities. What’s more they did this to the half of the US voters that ONCE UPON A TIME had some respect for them.

That Russia influenced the 2016 election at all is a lie.
