Led by Representative Ron DeSantis congress has sent a criminal referral letter (full pdf below) to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Federal Prosecutor John Huber.
The identified targets of the referral include: •former FBI Director James Comey; •former Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe; •former Attorney General Loretta Lynch; •former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; •current FBI Agent Peter Strzok; and •current DOJ Attorney Lisa Page (former Special Counsel to Andrew McCabe).
The identified reasoning for each of the referrals is outlined in the letter below. However, the risk to James Comey is not simply contained within the letter, but also contained within the non-discussed fact that FBI chief-legal-counsel James Baker is a cooperating witness for IG Horowitz and Huber.
One of the lesser discussed aspects to the ongoing investigative overview is how a few key people, with direct and specific knowledge of the events that took place within the FBI and DOJ activity, remain inside the institutions as they are being investigated.
Those key DOJ and FBI officials have been removed from their position, yet remain inside with no identified or explained responsibility.
Peter Strzok (FBI), Lisa Page (DOJ/FBI), Bruce Ohr (DOJ) and James Baker (FBI) are still employed. Insofar as they are within the DOJ/FBI system it’s more than highly likely they are being retained for their cooperation in exchange for some form of immunity.
Other identified co-conspirators left their positions as soon as the IG discoveries began hitting the headlines in December ’17, and January ’18.
Those who quit include, but not limited to: James Comey’s chief-of-staff, James Rybicki (resigned); FBI Director of Communications Michael Kortan (resigned); DOJ-NSD Asst Attorney David Laufman (resigned). Each of those officials was named and outlined within the Page/Strzok text messages as a key participant, and quit as soon as the scope of the internal Inspection Division (INSD) investigative material was identified by media.
Prior to the IG/INSD release, other resignations were earlier: DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord (April ’17) and DOJ-NSD head John Carlin (Oct 16).
Dana Boente, the current FBI chief legal counsel was inside Main Justice and specifically inside the DOJ-NSD apparatus the entire time the 2015, 2016 and 2017 political schemes were happening. Therefore Boente has the full scope of understanding and dirt on Sally Yates, John Carlin, Mary McCord et al. Boente’s understanding obviously bolstered by DOJ-NSD Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr, who, not coincidentally, is also removed from position but still remains employed.
Mr. Boente’s understanding of the DOJ-NSD activity, and the sentiment of the “small group” toward him, is represented by the actions they all took to try and diminish Boente during the transitional phase between the Obama and Trump administrations.
However, regarding the current congressional criminal referral of James Comey, the key element of risk is FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker. Baker was a central figure connecting the activity of both Comey and McCabe to the officials underneath that were carrying out the agenda.
To repeat, James Baker was removed from his responsibilities (replaced by Boente) but he remains employed in some function within the FBI. It’s almost a guarantee Baker is only there because he’s cooperating in exchange for a “deal” of some form.
Lastly, the issue of James Comey’s memos is a trending item, but there’s an angle being missed by most. James Comey and Andrew McCabe both leaked to the media.
The self-interested leaking by Andrew McCabe clearly outlined in the recent IG report, originates with contradictory statements from McCabe’s appointed lawyer at the time, Lisa Page.
The self-interested leaking by James Comey about his “loyalty” conversation with President Trump will likely surface with statements from Comey’s chief legal counsel, James Baker. There’s a clear parallel, and James Baker is still inside the FBI (doing something).
Here’s the referral:

The slow, steady descent from 100% confidence in a Hillary win to full realization that they had LOST… it was amazing to watch (when you have several hours to spare, I’d recommend watching the whole thing, language warning, though). The reason I bring this up is the “brace for impact” comment. As the night went on, a couple times Cenk would stop while staring at his laptop screen, shake his head and go, “Alright, brace for impact…” and then report the latest incoming results. Pretty funny and dramatic stuff.

Expect insane, wild opposition to this action in the extremely near future.

The media will hype up the noise and static as well. We haven’t seen anything yet re: disruption and/or civil disobedience. It will heighten during the summer. One useful outcome of this will be it will take time to plow through this stuff in the detail it deserves; as that keeps happening we get closer and closer to the mid-terms. The roughly 1/2 of the American electorate that is brainless and without reasoning ability, and that consistently votes Democrat even if their candidate were Lucifer or Judas Iscariot, will be unable to avoid the clamor that will be associated with these revelations, and will be hard-pressed to come up with excuses for the behavior and information we will be confronted with as the investigation nears its climax, followed by a trial – or trials.

It reminds me of Trump’s rally speeches when he talked about how we are forced to play by certain rules but the illegals and the criminals and the terrorists aren’t. So all of the people here saying “it takes time” and “they have to make sure it sticks”, I totally get that, but I’m tired of our side being so careful and cautious while the crooks are scurrying around continuing to do damage.

Read US attorney general Jeff Sessions’ statement recusing himself from investigations into the 2016 presidential campaigns DON’T use the Yellow Stream Media’s ‘interpretation’ of what Sessions said.
Here is the statement in full: (Since many do not bother to go look)
During the course of the confirmation proceedings on my nomination to be Attorney General, I advised the Senate Judiciary Committee that ‘[i]f a specific matter arose where I believed my impartiality might reasonably be questioned, I would consult with Department ethics officials regarding the most appropriate way to proceed.
During the course of the last several weeks, I have met with the relevant senior career Department officials to discuss whether I should recuse myself from any matters arising from the campaigns for President of the United States.
Having concluded those meetings today, I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States.
I have taken no actions regarding any such matters, to the extent they exist.
This announcement should not be interpreted as confirmation of the existence of any investigation or suggestive of the scope of any such investigation.
Consistent with the succession order for the Department of Justice, Acting Deputy Attorney General and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Dana Boente shall act as and perform the functions of the Attorney General with respect to any matters from which I have recused myself to the extent they exist.”

I want to know where Boente falls in all of this.
He was recently appointed by Wray to be the new GC for the FBI, which was James Baker’s old gig. Boente is now head lawyer at the FBI. This promotion from Wray came just before the HPSCI outed him as being one of the people who signed off on one of the FISA extensions, along with Rosy and Yates.
So Boente, is right there with them in signing off on the FISA extensions, so if Rosy and Yates deserve to go down for it, then so should Boente. The fact that this was known, and Wray still named him to the position is just more proof to me that Wray isn’t much better than any of these plotters and is probably similarly minded when you get down to it.
Wray looks more and more like a bad choice from from where I’m sitting on my limb in the old treehouse.

“Comey confidently taunts America and Americans that there will be no reckoning for him because, like the traitors who were running the CIA (and ASIO) in the 1960s, he has “a higher loyalty”. His DOJ fixer Rosenstein is still in place, having neutered/blackmailed Sessions; and the pervasive mainstream media propaganda machine is still pumping out an alternate reality in which he is a hero.
He doesn’t have to recognise Congress as the representative of the American democracy because he responsible to the only authority he recognises: the Deep State — the ultimate expression of totalitarian fascism.

So a right turn after passing a tree that had been hit by lightning and split in two halfway to the top was going to be a left turn on the way back. Of course he had been fishing in those lakes for over 40 years and could navigate with his eyes closed.

FBI Director Andrew McCabe; •former Attorney General Loretta Lynch; •former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; •current FBI Agent Peter Strzok; and •current DOJ Attorney Lisa Page (former Special Counsel to Andrew McCabe).”
That section in the referral includes “DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW” which can have very substantial penalties. Attorney Joe diGenova mentioned that perhaps a month ago:
https://www.justice.gov/crt/deprivation-rights-under-color-law
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under “color of law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official’s lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.
The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.

Our prosecutors crossing their Ts and doting their Is to get those indictments. This should be very encouraging.
FTA: Grand juries usually indict at federal level. From October 2009 to September 2010, U.S. prosecutors pursued 193,000 cases and prosecuted 162,350. Of the more than 30,000 they didn’t prosecute, 11 cases were because a grand jury did not return an indictment.
1. Grand juries, at least at the federal level, almost always vote to indict people accused by prosecutors of a crime. As you can see in the chart above, federal prosecutors pursued over 160,000 cases against defendants in 2009-2010 (the last period for which there is data), and grand juries only voted not to return an indictment in 11. Prosecutors decided not to pursue charges in thousands of cases for a host of other reasons, such as weak evidence or other authorities were pursuing the case.

Why did Obama wait until December 2016 to expel 35 Russian diplomats for election interference and close two diplomatic compounds? Why wait until after the election? The IC supposedly knew what the Russians were up to. Why let it go on?
If they didn’t know, well now we’re back to 9/11 and everybody in the IC pointing fingers at each other. Do you think that all the crap going on with Brenner, Clapper, Strzok, Comey et al. might have prejudiced decisions and drained resources away at a critical time?
Sure added fuel to the fire that Clinton lost the election due to Russian hacking and Internet trolling and that Trump won due to Russian collusion.
Appears to be a political calculation and not an operational calculation…. like letting a victim of a knife stabbing bleed out to see if they will die from loss of blood… or not. If Clinton had won, then “what difference,” at that point, if the guy died from the knife wound or from bleeding out, “would it have made?”
Wonder if Clinton had won, would Obama have expelled the Russians right after the election as he did when Trump had won? If he had, he would have certainly cast a long dark shadow over a Clinton win.
Another very opaque time line of what happened, who knew what when, etc.. All very Benghazi… just sayin.

Reading the IG report on McCabe tells me the IG-team is honest, competent, and unintimidated. I believe they WILL present the whole truth. It remains to be seen if Sessions and the justice department are. If they are, McCabe will either do considerable prison time or he will be a star witness, and people WILL be held CRIMINALLY accountable
All these referrals and demands by the republicans tell me something is happening, they finally have the guts to do something. (Nunes has proved his guts for the last year.) Ryan has been pretty quiet, don’t get that.
Comey, McCabe, Lynch, Clapper, Brennan are pointing fingers at each other.
Watch Comey in the View video when they read about the referral. Comey looks SCARED, although he recovers. That tells me he knows he IS in deep shit.
I have not heard anything from Schiff or Shumer. That tells me they are concerned.
Trump has 50% approval today. I read 50% of Californians agree with his immigration policy.
This in spite of a never ending, constant attack by the MSNM.

How many letters has congress sent? How many led to anything? This is theatre.. 11 republicans? Out of how many? Congress sending a letter is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Besides, it’s house members not senators, and house members have 0 power.

Exactly this. 11? That’s it? Why them. Why not others?

I don’t think it happened, but IF Trump ever learns that Obama did pardon Comey, Lynch, Clinton, etc. before leaving office, the first thing he should do is fire Mueller and Rosenstein. The Nation would be with him. The next thing he should do is put Comey, Lynch, Clinton, etc before a GJ and prosecute Obama for whatever conspiracies Barry had set up.

Yes, it is largely symbolic but we should think about what it symbolizes. The inclusion of Mr. Huber as a recipient is very significant. It’s a confirmation of his authority and his role in this investigation. These 11 are out in front (politically). Once the indictment phase starts there will be dozens more politicians who will wish they had signed this referral rather than being seen as jumping on the bandwagon later.

11 Republicans? I’m surprised that many. There should have been EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM, of course–but then there is no real “Leader” in the house of representatives–only a toadie of the CofC, K Street, and the Globalists. Paul stinking Ryan.

One of the best articles I’ve read in recent days about the scumbag Mueller. From “The Federalist”, written by Mollie Hemingway. All the dirty details of how Mueller totally abused his prosecutorial discretion during his entire career. Also, some great links to original material. Well worth reading.

If you can stomach watching “The View” for a few minutes, Comey was on the show getting pretty heavily questioned, when the letter broke. They read it to him live. Watch his face and listen to him respond. Go to youtube if you can and speaking personally, I wouldn’t go the ABC site. Don’t give them the clicks. antischool has it.

Well, just wake me up when any indictments or charges are brought. I still believe that all of this will end up on the scandal heaps of history along with the IRS, Fast & Furious, etc., with a lot of investigations and rhetoric with no actual accountability other than a few folks losing their jobs or being slapped on the wrist. Let”s face it, the swamp is here to stay and is probably more pervasive than anyone wants to admit. The crimes are obvious. The criminals are obvious. You have a prosecutor. Where is the grand jury? Where are the indictments? Why are there no charges after all these months? Why is there a need to wait for the IG report? Is a crime any more of a crime because the IG confirms it? Are we saying the prosecutor is a puppet? No matter who is charged, they will denigrate the prosecutors or IG.
As this drags on and if the IG report comes out in stages, this could drag on past the midterms with no end in sight, with even more pressures not to do aNY prosecutions.

Grand juries are secret. I am hoping the combination of Michael Horowitz and 1.5 Million pages / documents help save our republic.
We’re not talking 1 major investigation, possibly a dozen or more major, intertwined tsunami’s. Including …
1. FBI/DOJ working to sabatogue a presidential election
2. FBI/DOJ sabotaging a President
3. FISA warrant abuse
4. Uranium One scandal, potential money landering and influence peddling
5. Clinton Foundation scandal, same
6. Clinton email disaster, rampant obstruction of justice
7. Russian / Steele interference
8. State Dept / NSA / Other – how do they fit in?
9. AG allegedly threatening SDNY to quash the Potential MOTHERLOAD of all repositories – the Huma / Weiner laptop
10. Outside companies accessing classified information on gov’t systems, to produce dirty dossierS
OVER RIDING IT ALL: we have never before had the contemporaneous, documented trail of evidence we have today. Texts. Email. IMs? Cell calls.

Obammy is a domestic and international terrorist. All muslims are required to enslave, rape, and murder non-muslims. That makes every muslim a terrorist and every mosque a terrorism recruitment and training center.

it’s May 2nd as I write this, I traced myself back to this post believing there was a “criminal referral” against Hillary Clinton, the takeaway I had a couple weeks ago when I first read through this post and attached letter. I was wrong. This letter is NOT a criminal referral for prosecution. It is a letter penned by several congressmen writing to “refer for investigation” and equal vetting of specific crimes listed by specific targets, one of those targets named Hillary Clinton. from what I can gather, McCabe is the only critter currently a target of criminal indictment.
