It's becoming more and more apparent that Comey was almost completely left out of the loop on most of this plan by design. McCabe/Brennan were running things inside the DOJ/IC and Comey was left to be a lightning rod if they needed it. It wasn't even that Comey was smart enough to know he shouldn't know everything McCabe and Brennan were up to, they just straight did not like the dude. All the texts and documents coming out show a concerted effort to work around Comey rather than through him. From inside the IC, it was Brennan and McCabe running point with Clapper providing DNI cover to both. Brennan chose McCabe to be a part of the team that authored the ICA without even telling Comey - and McCabe did so as part of the "CIA" task force not FBI. Plus you have McCabe hiding the laptop from Comey for four weeks and Comey responding in testimony that he had no idea. That used to sound ridiculous - now it's believable because it's clear they cut him out. Doesn't excuse Comey in any of this. He's screwed. But he's dim enough not to realize how badly he got !@#$ed by McCabe and Brennan (and by extension Priestap) in this whole process.

This isn't a coincidence nor an accident. It isn't "poor reporting", it's blatant disinformation being pushed through NBC by the CIA. There was an attempt by Intelligence Services to undermine the 2016 election - it just wasn't the Russians. It was our own... which, you would think, would be even MORE alarming to those on the left who value traditional liberal ideals. What say you, liberals? Isn't that alarming? Or is it okay because the CIA was working against Trump? 19 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/trump-campaign-fbi-spy-glenn-simpson-stands-by-testimony/ On the same day, Simpson’s lawyer, Joshua Levy, sent a short reply letter to Senator Grassley, stating: I am writing in response to your letter, dated January 11, 2018, in which you have asked about the August 22, 2017 testimony from our client Glenn Simpson that Christopher Steele in the fall of 2016 said he believed the FBI had another source within the Trump organization/campaign. Mr. Simpson stands by his testimony. If there ever was a retraction, it has been retracted. Remember this? Remember who Dilanian REALLY works for? https://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/09/ken-dilanian-sent-cia-drafts-of-stories-194906 That's right, CIA. So a CIA cut-out was covering for Fusion GPS. Why would that be? Oh, right... where does Brennan work now again? https://www.thewrap.com/ex-cia-chief-john-brennan-signs-as-msnbc-nbc-as-contributor/ (Quid pro quo. NBC paying Brennan for illegal leaks and providing him cover now). Know the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, I missed this, I admit: The use of NSL (National security letters) does not require probable cause or the approval of a judge. ...And they still didn't find enough to convince the FISC until they paid for the dossier and padded their intel product.

You have to love the Washington angle. 17 month investigation purported to be critical of the FBI up to and including the director, submitted for review to the FBI for potential "classified" content, and that bumbling jackass out on a book tour like he's Mr. Clean. I alaways figure if you're going to try and create a world molded to your worldview, you should have the decency not to get caught. You really have to wonder if power corrupts, or if he was always a power hungry a-hole. Regardless, his carefully crafted image of strength and integrity is shot and it's about to get worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
