you are likely correct. ‘Co-operating’ does not mean adding or even corroborating anything. Priestap advising Comey not to tell Congress ‘something’ would be SOP!! The whole DOJ knows that Congress leaks more than even the Yates directive to ‘leak to the media’! OTOH are Priestap, Strzok, FBI, CIA, or both? Is Lisa Page related to Carter Page?

What did you expect Priestap to do after Comey threw him under the bus at that Congressional hearing? You could tell Comey was totally unprepared when it came to questions about why he didn’t report the investigation against POTUS to the gang of eight as required by law. So, Comey threw Priestap under the bus and blamed him, even though Comey is the top dog and was fully aware of what he was required to do by law. Priestap is in it up to his eyeballs and now in CYA mode, doing whatever it takes to help himself and take down everyone else involved. He’s no saint by any means. He’s just another rat living by their way of working perps………first one to talk gets a walk.

Why isn’t Joe DiGenova our AG?” He would be so much more effective than our AWOL current AG Jeff Sessions, the biggest disappointment of this administration. Maybe I’m wrong, but I would surely like to see some evidence to the contrary. He could’ve been the greatest asset Trump had in these proceedings, but he chose to duck and cover. What use is he? Trump can’t politically fire Sessions, but Sessions should man up and resign, or reverse his recusal and get back into the fight and serve some useful purpose.

Sessions could be working on the purely technical regarding crimes having nothing to do with Russia, specifically. Then again, Sessions has been very close to the Bush family for decades, and while I believe he was always part of the original ‘insurance policy’, I would be happy to be wrong about that.
The ‘never Trump’ bunch is worse than the democrats where President Trump is concerned, and probably just as devious. The dems were certainly aware of this fracture and could have teamed up to put Sessions in the Trump campaign early on if they knew he was a never Trumper. Most all of them are capable of bipartisanship when it comes to protecting the swamp.

I agree that there is a question to whether it is “honorable” to cooperate after the fact and when the heat comes down – which for Priestap was probably Comey’s March 2017 testimony fingering Priestap as a fall guy. A truly honorable person would not play the game all this time, they would report it to the overseers (in this case I.G.) immediately or leave the position. There is no question that our government will have to slowly and methodically be cleaned out of the Bush – Clinton – Obama people and replaced with “clean” outsiders with honor and integrity. People who live by their oath, truth, and justice. I would venture a guess it would be about 60-80% of the agencies as this seems to be the percentage in Congress. We are a great country that should reflect its greatness in the leadership.

We thought it was bad during the presidential race, it’s so much worse now. The grim reality is now in full view, much of the MSM operates as the propaganda division of the Democrats (in a way that would make Hitler and Goebbels so proud). They are deliberately misinforming their viewers/readers in order to manipulate elections.
I was thinking about that deliberate misinformation. When/if indictments of the traitors start to happen, the MSM will spin it as a witch hunt and the misinformed viewers/readers will accept it as such because they have zero knowledge of the underlying factual information. Just like the case of Trayvon, so many people continued to perceive Trayvon as the red-shirted 10 year old skipping through an apartment complex when he was mercilessly gunned down. Even when they were confronted with facts, the propaganda was so deeply implanted they were effectively brainwashed and incapable of rational thought processes. This is a very very serious problem in the US.

I first saw him completely by chance on C-Span’s Washington Journal, a program I normally don’t watch, because I came across the program’s topic description in my program menu. I know everything one needs to know about the handling of highly classified materials because I have handled such materials and it was mandatory that I was TAUGHT those rules before I could handle such materials. During the farcical investigation of the Clinton email issue there was a parade of complete BS in the news even from so-called “experts” on that topic. diGenova’s analysis in this video is absolutely correct. I went through the State Department’s publicly accessible web contents listing their own rules for handling classified materials and found twelve pages worth of their own rules that Clinton had violated. When she wasn’t indicted, I then knew the game was completely rigged.
