The Justice Department’s internal watchdog reportedly is looking into memos containing classified information that James Comey gave to a friend last year.The Wall Street Journal reported that at least two of those memos had material now deemed classified.   perhaps his book tour will end before he thought it would

Comey admitted that he let Clinton off the hook last night on CNN after she mishandled 8 "Top secret" emails.

The Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit alleging a conspiracy by the Trump campaign, Russia and WikiLeaks to disrupt the 2016 presidential election

 

Someone has to be suing the DNC over their primary rigging?  They've commited more [likely] illegal interference in our elections than even the craziest liberals believe Trump/Russia to have done.

My guess is this lawsuit is how they're going to keep the basically dead collusion story alive, so they can use it on the campaign trail.  I don't know - seems like this could backfire spectacularly.

Would be interesting if they actually DO submit the hacking as evidence, because then I believe they'd have to give Trump's lawyers the opportunity to examine the server (the one they never gave to the FBI to examine).

Well Sanders has already accepted the hush money, Seth Rich is unable to testify, and I assume everyone else wants to remain living. 

Caputo, a former Trump campaign adviser, delivered this statement to the committee on Tuesday, May 1, 2018: 

'In 2009, my wife and I moved to my hometown of East Aurora, New York to have a family. Making far less money back home, we had a far better quality of life. That is, until the Trump-Russia narrative took off. Today, I can’t possibly pay the attendant legal costs and live near my aging father, raising my kids where I grew up.
 

'Your investigation and others into the allegations of Trump campaign collusion with Russia are costing my family a great deal of money – more than $125,000 - and making a visceral impact on my children.

 

'Now I must to move back to Washington, New York City, Miami or elsewhere, just so I can make enough money to pay off these legal bills. And I know I have you to thank for that.

 

'Here’s how I know: how many of you know Daniel Jones, former Senate Intelligence staffer for Senator Dianne Feinstein? Great guy, right? Most of you worked with him. One of you probably just talked to him this morning.

 

'Of course, very few of us in flyover country knew Daniel until recently. Now we know that he quit his job with your Senate committee not long ago to raise $50 million from ten rich Democrats to finance more work on the FusionGPS Russian dossier. The one the FBI used to get a FISA warrant and intimidate President Donald Trump, without anyone admitting -- until months after it was deployed -- that it was paid for by Hillary Clinton.

 

'In fact, good old Dan has been raising and spending millions to confirm the unconfirmable – and, of course, to keep all his old intel colleagues up-to-speed on what FusionGPS and British and Russian spies have found. Got to keep that Russia story in the news.

 

'Of course Dan’s in touch with you guys. We know from the news that he’s been briefing Senator Mark Warner, vice chairman of this committee. Which one of you works for Senator Warner? Please give Danny my best.

 

'I saw some of his handiwork just last month. Remember this lede paragraph, from McClatchy on April 13?

 

'The Justice Department special counsel has evidence that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

 

'That’s your pal Dan, isn’t it? He came up with some kind of hollow proof that Michael Cohen was in Prague meeting with Russians when he wasn’t. He tried to sell that to reporters, and they didn’t buy it because it doesn’t check out. So, to get a reporter to write up his line of bull, he gave the documents to the Office of Special Counsel.

 

'We know that’s likely, because he’s told people he’s briefing investigators.

 

'So, technically, the special counsel’s office has evidence. Your pal Dan gave them more of the

Democrats’ dossier, funded by more Democrats, provided again by Russian and British spies.

 

Information no reporter would write up, but now there’s an angle: the Special Counsel has it. Now it’s a story.

 

'It’s a clever but effective ruse. That’s a story, just like when reporter Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News wrote this gem on September 16, 2016:

 

'“…U.S. officials have since received intelligence reports that during that same three-day trip, Page met with Igor Sechin, a longtime Putin associate … a well-placed Western intelligence source tells Yahoo News. That meeting, if confirmed, is viewed as especially problematic by U.S. officials…”

'Dozens of stories were written from the Isikoff piece, doing real damage to the Trump campaign. Of course, now we know Isikoff’s reference to “intelligence reports” was just him renaming a dossier funded by Democrats and dug up by his longtime pal Glenn Simpson and some foreign spies. Once Simpson gave his Clinton campaign opposition research to the feds, it was news.

 

'This was especially true after Isikoff intentionally labeled the campaign materials as intelligence – just like McClatchy called Dan’s information “evidence.”

 

'But who is McClatchy’s second source? It couldn’t be Dan; he was the first source. It couldn’t be Simpson; he works for Dan. It can’t be the Mueller investigation; they kicked the McClatchy story to the curb with aplomb. So who could it be – perhaps one of his former Senate Intelligence colleagues? I mean, you’re all in this together. You’re the swamp.

 

'What America needs is an investigation of the investigators. I want to know who is paying for the spies’ work and coordinating this attack on President Donald Trump? I want to know who Dan Jones is talking to across the investigations – from the FBI, to the Southern District of New York, to the OSC, to the Department of Justice, to Congress.

 

'Forget about all the death threats against my family. I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election.

'I want to know because God Damn you to Hell.'

When do the investigators get investigated ??

Well said

Ivy League prof Comey used to leak, defend him in Clinton probe, had hidden FBI gig for 19 months

 

 

It is time to shut down Mueller and start investigating him, and Comey, and all the other corrupt FBI and DoJ subverters.  What a rotten, despicable bunch of scum.

You are one bitter, bitter man.

Not at all; I just would appreciate some justice, from the 'justice' department, as would all Americans.

You're on about this stuff every single day.  If it isn't this issue, you're going on about something else in an us vs. them way.  It just seems like a sad thing to be totally consumed by all of this divisive politics.  It is exactly what Fox News and Brietbart know how to stir up.  

So we now we know the Obama administration used the FBI and CIA to pay for a spy to work within the Trump campaign. 

 

Unbelievable …………….almost.

The IRS Scandal, Day 1826: The Five Year Anniversary

By Paul Caron

 

Wall Street Journal op-ed:  The Unresolved IRS Scandal, by Bradley Smith (Capital University Law School; former Chair, Federal Election Commission):

Imagine if liberal groups discovered that President Trump’s Internal Revenue Service was targeting them for heightened scrutiny or harassment. The media and Democrats would decry this assault on the First Amendment and declare the U.S. on the brink of autocracy. The scandal would dominate the midterms, and the legitimacy of the election would be called into question.

Strangely enough, the IRS did target organs of the opposition party during the last administration, but the episode has largely faded from public memory without resolution. May 10 marks the fifth anniversary of the revelation that President Obama’s IRS targeted conservative groups for more than two years prior to the 2012 presidential election.

While some of the faces at the IRS have changed, the law that enabled their misuse of power has not. Congress’s failure to address the problem leaves the U.S. democratic process vulnerable to further abuses. 

Lois Lerner, the career official at the center of the IRS scandal, retired on full pension after invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before Congress. John Koskinen, appointed IRS commissioner by Mr. Obama to lead the agency “in difficult times,” served his full term, spending the better part of four years stonewalling congressional requests for information. On his watch, the IRS destroyed evidence subject to subpoena.

The response from the political system showed early promise but quickly fizzled. ...

[M]any conservatives seem to think Washington has turned the page on IRS abuse. Meanwhile, too many Democrats seem to think that this could never happen to them. Both are wrong.

Interesting.

 

President Trump on Thursday touted a report saying the FBI under former President Obama spied on the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential race, saying that the revelation could be "bigger than Watergate."

“Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI 'SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN IMBEDDED INFORMANT,'" the president tweeted in reference to a National Review report published last week.

“Andrew McCarthy says, 'There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.' If so, this is bigger than Watergate!”

I ... kinda... doubt this. But on the other hand, Obama's administration also used the IRS to seek out and go after conservatives. The Obama administration did not have to deal with consequences of their actions then and most likely won't have to face consequences of their actions now with this. The best we can do at this point is to hope these types of actions never happen again.

The best we can do is to fully expose this criminal activity, and prosecute those who undertook it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then hopefully it will never happen again, and maybe we won't have to hope that it never happens again.

It's not going to happen, QO. Might as well stop believing. (then again, I was pretty damn sure Hillary Clinton was going to be President)

IG report coming next on her ................should be quite interesting.
