Just a quick note on the current tone and confrontational content coming from former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA Director John Brennan.
There is a great deal of discussion about the combative and hate-riddled language coming from Comey, Clapper and particularly Brennan. Be aware their combative posture as an actual risk avoidance strategy.
Each of the three heavily corrupt officials engaged in the most substantive abuse of their intelligence positions for political purposes. Each of them weaponized their offices against their political opposition. The scope and severity therein is a story yet to surface; and unlike prior examples of weaponizing the DOJ and IRS, there is no administration in place to protect them from investigative sunlight.
Therefore the Comey, Clapper and Brennan defense strategy is to position themselves politically and lean on their like-minded media allies for support. Their adversarial posture is intended to draw the Trump administration into political combat, thereby diminishing any investigative outcomes behind a false shield of political prosecution.
In short this crew needs to frame any element of accountability -based on their prior behavior- as simple political retribution. According to their playbook, the more aggressive, nasty, hate-filled and oppositional they are in their public displays; the greater likelihood they can call any indictments political retaliation. This is a historic approach.
In order for the approach to work, the public must be very well aware of their collective antagonisms and attacks against the current administration. This is why their media allies emphasize each occurrence so much.
If the larger American public see the Comey, Clapper and Brennan attacks as commonplace, the more likely a larger segment of that same public will see any corresponding DOJ legal proceeding as retaliation for those attacks.
Once this defense strategy is deployed, do not expect to see it diminish. Quite the contrary; the strategy is contingent upon ever-increasing and more outlandish attacks.
Historically this approach has a proven track record of success amid Democrats because the media (writ large) generally aligns with it. [See Bob Menendez for a recent example]

From my perspective Freaky and Sneaky are rallying to Leaky’s defense. Which is awesome. Because when the case is made that these 3 conspirators worked closely together as comrades, the case will be so much more believable.

Such argument would fall flat and possibly bring a belly laugh for most Americans who are paying attention.
As far as I can read and comprehend, the laws that apply to the serious crimes committed provide no exemption from prosecution related to opinions expressed publicly by a U.S. citizen, even if he happens to be the president of the United States. After all, we are assured repeatedly that the DOJ is neutral and supports no bias for or against a political party. That being true, President Trump’s public comments and disgust are irrelevant.

Sundance is exactly right. Brennan and Comey and others are positioning themselves to be able to say that any criminal charges against them are “revenge” for their mean tweets, a “political witch-hunt” and the “politics of personal destruction.”
But, I think it goes deeper than that. “Muh Russian Collusion” is also (one of many) attempts to frame Trump in order to create a tu qouque defense (also known as “Whataboutism”). Basically, they take their own crimes and attempt to construct illegitimate defenses of them by creating (out of whole cloth) allegations that Trump engaged in similar conduct.
This is why Trump scares the crap out of them. With normal GOPe members, they could rely on the media and an actual element of mutually assured destruction. Trump, whatever his flaws, by virtue of not being involved in politics has not engaged in these kinds of activities. So, they have to do their best to create them. Thus, fake Russia collusion (why Russia? because Lefties think we hate Russia, when actually we hated the Soviet Union).

He has been fighting several departments in his own company that are not just insubordinate but in several cases tried to ensure that who they wanted (HRC) became CEO instead of him and when they failed tried to oust him through the court of public opinion, which their friends mostly control. Any CEO of any competence cannot and should not tolerate such insubordination and outright rebellion, and he is not.

Mueller was a partner at WilmerHale when he switched over to become Special Counsel, and he has brought members of the WilmerHale team over to his federal investigation team.”

I wrote this exact comment on this blog a couple days ago. We already saw this strategy employed by McCabe. In essence, we’ve seen a variation of this tactic employed by illegal aliens. I recall reading an article about Washington state “immigrant activists” who were claiming their deportations were due to their activism. In essence, they were saying they shouldn’t be deported, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ILLEGAL ALIENS, for the sole reason that they had protested this administration.
The strategy thus is to pre-emptively attack Trump and the administration, knowing that he is coming for them. This strategy only works with a colluding judge or jury. That way, once true justice finally comes for them, they can claim retaliation.
This is why I have said that I don’t know how Sessions avoids the problem of corrupt juries. I’m assuming they have something planned. But these corrupt, disgusting traitors all work together, and they’re infested throughout the system. It is now DIRECTLY IN Brennan’s, Comey’s, & Clapper’s interest to pre-emptively and frequently attack Trump and his administration. Within this light, I suppose Brennan’s outlandish and embarrassing attacks make more sense.

Fact is, these morons believe they’re gonna get the DJT-hating masses–with assistance of their MSM partners–to actually storm the Bastille on their behalf. In other words, summon 500,000 people to the Washington Mall to demand “Justice” on their behalf. They’re delusional.
If Brennan was confident, he’d just shut up and smile.
This is also how and why DJT was way way ahead of him on this. Just look at his set pieces: a recused AG; an Obama IG leading the show; Cooperating witnesses; Pissed off Congress; a Deputy AG (RR) who both fires the FBI Dir. but also *appoints the SC.* And a looming savage in the background (Giuliani) just ready to have at it.

I would add — the fact that Comey has made this claim indelibly taints Rosenstein as a player in this matter. Will Rosenstein repudiate Comey’s remarks? How can he continue in his role, and avoid at least the appearance of impropriety, if he does not publicly repudiate Comey’s claim? Indeed, the question arises whether Comey’s claim is **true**? It just might be…

Looking into it further, here is the ABC news’ transcript:
http://abcnews.go.com/Site/transcript-james-comeys-interview-abc-news-chief-anchor/story?id=54488723
Searched word “pretext.”
“JAMES COMEY: Well the attorney general was recused and the deputy attorney general, in my view, had acted dishonorably by putting out this pretext about why I was fired. So I thought, “Well he’s ‘amica nostra.’ Right? He’s part of the family now. I can’t trust him.” And so what can I do? I can do something now.”
And then lower down on the page, the already quoted “pretext” paragraph by Stephanopoulos and Comey’s non-reply.
One can’t tell what ABC edited out. Comey has already admitted he contrived to get a Special Counsel appointed. Did he first think Rosenstein was in cahoots with him and then change his mind? Is he naive or what.

It’s beginning to look a lot like a triad of Comey Mueller Rosenstein colluding to get Mueller appointed as Special Counsel, with others in the background. Perhaps the TruePundit article shows Comey not only trying to distance himself from Mueller, but also from Rosenstein.
Comey has already let slip that Clapper sent him to brief Trump in early Jan. 2017.
Perhaps in some haphazard fashion he’s trying to do damage control to hide the Rosenstein Mueller involvement. Like the little boy who says: “Daddy, Momma said I shouldn’t tell you she kissed the postman.”

Jumping ahead on the triad theme, I wonder if Sessions would recognize what he’s looking at if a picture was placed under his nose of his deputy RR snorting white powder in the men’s room at the WH Correspondents Dinner.

I don’t think it was “days” later that Mueller was named SC. I think it was the very next day, less than 24 hours later.

Here are the dates – excerpt from the TruePundit article:
“Comey was fired on May 9, 2017 while he was visiting the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.
One week later on May 16, the first story of Comey’s secret memos about Trump surfaced in the New York Times, alleging the memos could prove President asked Comey to rig the Michael Flynn investigation. Those claims were recently debunked after Comey’s memos were made public this month.
Mere hours after the New York Times article, Mueller was appointed U.S. Special Counsel by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on May 17, 2017.”

Wow V, I stand corrected. I’m surprised, since I assumed it was planned as part of the Insurance Policy and Mueller was ready to go. Are you as surprised as I that all the documents Nunes wants now weren’t seized and copied while Comey was on the plane en route from L.A.?

This report says it is a SA (Special Agent) that appears to be going about their regular corrupt practices. But the report says: “Criminal prosecution of the SA was declined.”
The report says:
“The OIG found that the SA contacted individuals who he either knew were, or had reasonable belief would be witnesses in the criminal investigation and that the SA’s contacts with several individuals appeared to be designed to improperly influence their prospective testimony.
During the investigation, the OIG also found that the SA divulged law enforcement sensitive information to unauthorized individuals; misused his government issued electronic devices; provided misleading testimony during a related civil deposition; mishandled classified information; misused his position during contacts with local law enforcement officers; and provided false information to the OIG.”
