To provide some context for this letter, even beyond what is stated by Senators Grassley and Johnson, it is worthwhile remembering the 300 pages of text messages between FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and his DOJ lawyer Lisa Page were originally revealed in March of 2019. Catherine Herridge reported on two of those pages.
Today Grassley and Johnson send a letter [pdf here] asking FBI Director Chris Wray to stop stonewalling congressional oversight and provide the text messages. Within the letter the senators outline a few examples highlighting how McCabe and Page were coordinating FBI leaks to their media allies during a key and critical time-frame:
(source pdf – also embed below)
Those 2016 text messages were during the time when an internal argument was taking place about the need for McCabe to recuse himself from the reopening of the Clinton email investigation because he tried to bury the Weiner laptop emails for 28-days in October.
Here’s the letter from Grassley and Johnson:
[scribd id=479918502 key=key-fohKMSiOps0J5xTKGg0k mode=scroll]
.
Here’s the background:
Within this interview below Mr. Comey is questioned about the announcement of re-opening of the Hillary Clinton email investigation on October 28th, 2016.
In his response to why there was a delay between the FBI being notified by New York on September 28th, and waiting until October 28th, James Comey revealed a very important nugget.
The New York U.S. Attorney (SDNY) called Main Justice in DC to ask about why they were not receiving authority for a search warrant. We knew that call took place on October 21st, 2016. Now we know “why” and who New York called at DOJ HQ.
Listen closely to James Comey at 06:06 to 07:30 of the interview (prompted):
Baier: “Did you know that Andrew McCabe, your deputy, had sat on that revelation about the emails”?
Comey: “Yeah, I don’t know that, I don’t know that to be the case. I do know that New York and FBI headquarters became aware that there may be some connection between Weiner’s laptop and the Clinton investigation, weeks before it was brought to me for decision – and as I write in the book I don’t know whether they could have moved faster and why the delay”
Baier: “Was it the threat that New York Agents were going to leak that it existed really what drove you to the ‘not conceal’ part?
Comey: “I don’t think so. I think what actually drove it was the prosecutors in New York who were working the criminal case against Weiner called down to headquarters and said ‘are we getting a search warrant or not for this’? That caused, I’m sorry, Justice Department Headquarters, to then call across the street to the FBI and poke the organization; and they start to move much more quickly. I don’t know why there was, if there was slow activity, why it was slow for those first couple of weeks.”
There’s some really sketchy stuff going on in that answer. Why would SDNY need to get authorization for a search warrant from DC, if this is about Weiner’s laptop? Yes, you could argue it pertains to a tightly held Clinton investigation run out of DC but the Weiner prosecution issues shouldn’t require approval from DC.
But let’s take Comey at face-value…. So there we discover it was justice officials within SDNY (Southern District of New York) who called Main Justice (DOJ in DC) and asked about a needed search warrant for “this”, presumably Weiner’s laptop by inference. Now, let’s go look at the Page/Strzok description of what was going on.
Here are the messages from Lisa Page and Peter Strzok surrounding the original date that New York officials notified Washington DC FBI. It’s important to note the two different entities: DOJ -vs- FBI.
According to the September 28, 2016, messages from FBI Agent Peter Strzok it was the SDNY in New York telling Andrew McCabe in DC about the issue. Pay close attention to the convo:
(pdf source for all messages here)
Notice: “hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner’s attorney to SDNY”.
Pay super close attention. This is not an outcome of a New York Police Dept. raid on Anthony Weiner. This is Weiner’s attorney going to the U.S. attorney and voluntarily turning over emails. The emails were not turned over to the FBI in New York, the actual emails were turned over to the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District.
Key point here: Weiner’s attorneys turned over “emails”. Actual “emails”.
♦If the U.S. Attorney in New York has the actual physical emails on September 28th, 2016, why would they need a search warrant on October 21st, 2016? (Comey’s call explanation)
♦Why would Weiner’s attorney be handing over evidence?
Think about this carefully. I’ll get back to the importance of it later; but what I suspect is that Weiner had physical material that was his “insurance policy” against anything done to him by Hillary Clinton. Facing a criminal prosecution Weiner’s lawyer went to the U.S. Attorney and attempted to exploit/leverage the content therein on his client’s behalf.
Fast forward three weeks, and we go back to FBI in DC.
On October 21, 2016, this is the call referenced by James Comey in the Bret Baier interview. Someone from New York called “Main Justice” (the DOJ National Security Division in DC) and notified DOJ-NSD Deputy Asst. Attorney General George Toscas of the Huma Abedin/Hillary Clinton emails via the “weiner investigation”.
[I would point out again, he’s not being notified of a laptop, Toscas is notified of “emails”]
George Toscas “wanted to ensure information got to Andy“, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe…. so he called FBI Agent Peter Strzok…. who told George Toscas “we know”.
Peter Strzok then tells Bill Priestap.
Of course, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe already knew about the emails since September 28th, 2016, more than three weeks earlier.
In his Bret Baier interview FBI Director James Comey says this call is about a search warrant. There is no indication the call is actually about a search warrant. [Nor would there be a need for a search warrant if the call was actually about the emails that Wiener’s attorney dropped off on 9/21].
However, that phone call kicks off an internal debate about the previously closed Clinton email investigation; and Andrew McCabe sitting on the notification from New York for over three weeks – kicks off an internal FBI discussion about McCabe needing to recuse himself.
Now it’s October 27th, 2016, James Comey chief-of-staff Jim Rybicki wants McCabe to recuse himself. But Rybicki is alone on an island. Lisa Page is furious at such a suggestion, partly because she is McCabe’s legal counsel and if McCabe is recused so too is she.
At the same time as they are debating how to handle the Huma Abedin/Hillary Clinton emails, they are leaking to the media to frame a specific narrative.
Important to note here, that at no time is there any conversation -or hint of a conversation- that anyone is reviewing the content of the emails. The discussions don’t mention a single word about content… every scintilla of conversation is about how to handle the issues of the emails themselves. Actually, there’s not a single person mentioned in thousands of text messages that applies to an actual person who is looking at any content.
Quite simply: there is a glaringly transparent lack of an “investigation”.
Within this “tight group” at FBI, as Comey puts it, there is not a single mention of a person who is sitting somewhere looking through the reported “600,000” Clinton emails that was widely reported by media. There’s absolutely ZERO evidence of anyone looking at emails or scouring through laptop data…. and FBI Agent Peter Strzok has no staff under him who he discusses assigned to such a task…. and Strzok damned sure ain’t doing it. So what gives?
Moving on – Note to readers. Click the graphics and read the notes on them too:
It’s still October 27th, 2016, the day before James Comey announces his FBI decision to re-open the Clinton investigation. Jim Rybicki still saying McCabe should be recused from input; everyone else, including FBI Legal Counsel James Baker, is disagreeing with Rybicki and siding with Lisa Page.
Meanwhile the conversation has shifted slightly to “PC”, probable cause. Read:
While Lisa Page is leaking stories to Devlin Barrett (Wall Street Journal), the internal discussion amid the “small group” is about probable cause.
The team is now saying if there was no probable cause when Comey closed the original email investigation in July 2016 (remember the very tight boundaries of review), then there’s no probable cause in October 2016 to reopen the investigation regardless of what the email content might be.
This appears to be how the “small group” or “tight team” justify doing nothing with the content received from New York. They received the emails September 28th and it’s now October 27th, and they haven’t even looked at it. Heck, they are debating if there’s even a need to look at it.
Then on October 28th, 2016, the FBI and Main Justice officials have a conference call about the entire Huma Abedin/Hillary Clinton email issue. Here’s where it gets interesting.
George Toscas and David Laufman from DOJ-NSD articulate a position that something needs to happen likely because Main Justice is concerned about the issue of FBI (McCabe) sitting on the emails for over three weeks without any feedback to SDNY (New York).
Thanks to Deputy Director McCabe, Main Justice in DC, specifically DOJ National Security Division, now looks like they are facilitating a cover-up operation being conducted by the FBI “small group”. [which is actually true, but they can’t let that be so glaringly obvious].
As a result of the Top-Tier officials conference call, Strzok is grumpy agent because his opinion appears to be insignificant. The decision is reached to announce the re-opening of the investigation. This sends Lisa Page bananas…
…In rapid response mode Lisa Page reaches out to Devlin Barrett, again to quickly shape the media coverage. Now that the world is aware of the need for a Clinton email investigation 2.0 the internal conversation returns to McCabe’s recusal.
Please note within all of the released communication, emails and texts, at no time is anyone in the FBI directing an actual investigation of the content of the Clinton emails. Every single second of every FBI effort is devoted to shaping the public perception of the need for the investigation.
The FBI group is seeding media with voluminous leaks; every media outlet is being scoured and watched; every article is being read; and the entire apparatus of the FBI small group are shaping coverage by contacting their leak outlets.
GO EVEN DEEPER:
So let’s go back to that Comey interview:
♦What exactly would SDNY need a search warrant for?
♦Anthony Weiner’s lawyer has delivered SDNY actual emails. Why would he do that?
Now lets connect those questions to an earlier report.
According to ABC News Comey writes in “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership,” that he became the public face of the investigation partly because of a mysterious development which he felt could cast “serious doubt” on Lynch’s independence.
“Had it become public, the unverified material would undoubtedly have been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on the attorney general’s independence in connection with the Clinton investigation,” Comey writes, according to ABC. He calls the material a “development still unknown to the American public to this day.” (ABC Link)
On page six of the IG report on Andrew McCabe (point number 4) we find a conference call between Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and the FBI field office in New York where the subject of the Weiner/Abedin/Clinton email findings overlap with: the Clinton Foundation (CF) investigation; the Clinton Email investigation; pressure for Asst. Director McCabe to recuse himself, and Washington DC via Loretta Lynch using DOJ Main Justice leverage from the Eric Garner case against the NY FBI office and New York Police Department.
From the OIG report:
4. The Attorney General Expresses Strong Concerns to McCabe and other FBI Officials about Leaks, and McCabe Discusses Recusing Himself from CF Investigation (October 26, 2016)
McCabe told the OIG that during the October 2016 time frame, it was his “perception that there was a lot of information coming out of likely the [FBI’s] New York Field Office” that was ending up in the news. McCabe told the OIG that he “had some heated back-and-forths” with the New York Assistant Director in Charge (“NY-ADIC”) over the issue of media leaks.
On October 26th, 2016, McCabe and NY-ADIC participated in what McCabe described as “a hastily convened conference call with the Attorney General who delivered the same message to us” about leaks, with specific focus being on leaks regarding the high-profile investigation by FBI’s New York Field Office into the death of Eric Garner. McCabe told us that he “never heard her use more forceful language.” NY-ADIC confirmed that the participants got “ripped by the AG on leaks.”
According to NY-ADIC’s testimony and an e-mail he sent to himself on October 31, McCabe indicated to NY-ADIC and a then-FBI Executive Assistant Director (“EAD”) in a conversation after Attorney General Lynch disconnected from the call that McCabe was recusing himself from the CF Investigation.
What makes this explosive is the timing, and what we now know about what was going on amid the FBI “small group” in DC.
On September 28th, 2016, Andrew McCabe was made aware of emails given to New York U.S. Attorney (SDNY) directly from Anthony Weiner’s lawyer. Again, the information relayed to DC is not about a Weiner laptop, it’s about actual emails delivered by Weiner’s lawyer. The laptop was evidence in the Weiner “sexting” case involving a minor; however, the laptop did, reportedly, also contained thousands of State Department documents from Hillary Clinton and her aide Huma Abedin, Weiner’s wife.
When Weiner’s lawyer walked into SDNY to deliver his leverage emails, Preet Bharara, a Clinton-Lynch ally, was the United States Attorney.
Again, look at the text messages between FBI Agent Peter Strzok (Inbox) and FBI Special Counsel to Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page (Outbox):
[The letter to “Congress” at the end of the text exchange relates to notification of the re-opening of the Clinton investigation – Actual date of notification 10/28/16]
According to later reporting, FBI Director James Comey was not notified of the emails until after October 21st, 2016. However, in late October and early November, there were reports from people with contacts in New York police and New York FBI, about Washington DOJ officials interfering with the Weiner investigation.
On the same date (October 26th, 2016) as the Lynch, McCabe and NY FBI phone call, former NY Mayor Rudy Giuilani was telling Fox News that an explosive development was forthcoming. Two days later, October 28th, 2016, Congress was notified of the additional Clinton emails.
However, a few more days later, November 4th, 2016, an even more explosive development as Erik Prince appeared on radio and outlined discoveries within the Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner/Hillary Clinton email issues that was being blocked by AG Lynch.
Prince claimed he had insider knowledge of the investigation that could help explain why FBI Director James Comey had to announce he was reopening the investigation into Clinton’s email server last week.
“Because of Weinergate and the sexting scandal, the NYPD started investigating it. Through a subpoena, through a warrant, they searched his laptop, and sure enough, found those 650,000 emails. They found way more stuff than just more information pertaining to the inappropriate sexting the guy was doing,” Prince claimed.
“They found State Department emails. They found a lot of other really damning criminal information, including money laundering, including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton went there more than 20 times. Hillary Clinton went there at least six times,” he said.
“The amount of garbage that they found in these emails, of criminal activity by Hillary, by her immediate circle, and even by other Democratic members of Congress was so disgusting they gave it to the FBI, and they said, ‘We’re going to go public with this if you don’t reopen the investigation and you don’t do the right thing with timely indictments,’” Prince explained.
“I believe – I know, and this is from a very well-placed source of mine at 1PP, One Police Plaza in New York – the NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making in this investigation, and they’ve gotten huge pushback, to the point of coercion, from the Justice Department, with the Justice Department threatening to charge someone that had been unrelated in the accidental heart attack death of Eric Garner almost two years ago. That’s the level of pushback the Obama Justice Department is doing against actually seeking justice in the email and other related criminal matters,” Prince said. (Link)
An earlier Grand Jury in New York had refused to return an indictment against the NYPD in the Garner case. As an outcome of that grand jury finding, and as an outcome of their own investigation, the local FBI office and Eastern District of New York DOJ office was not trying to pursue criminal charges against the NYPD officers involved. This created a dispute because federal prosecutors (EDNY) and FBI officials in New York opposed bringing charges, while prosecutors with the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department in Washington argued there was clear evidence to do so.
On October 25th, 2016, Loretta Lynch replaced the EDNY New York prosecutors:
New York Times (Oct. 25) – The Justice Department has replaced the New York team of agents and lawyers investigating the death of Eric Garner, officials said, a highly unusual shake-up that could jump-start the long-stalled case and put the government back on track to seek criminal charges.
With that move – on Oct. 25th, 2016, AG Lynch was now in position to threaten criminal prosecutions against the NYPD, and repercussions against the NY FBI and EDNY using the Garner case as leverage, just like Erik Prince outlined in the phone interview above.
Additionally, we see confirmation from the IG report, the Garner case was brought up in the next day (Oct 26, 2016) phone call to the NY FBI field office; just as Erik Prince outlined. Obviously Prince’s sources were close to the events as they unfolded.
The NY FBI and Eastern District of New York (EDNY) were threatened by Washington DC Main Justice and FBI, via Loretta Lynch and Andrew McCabe to drop the Clinton/Abedin/Weiner email investigation matters, or else the Garner DOJ Civil Rights Division would be used as leverage against the NYPD. And Loretta Lynch had SDNY U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara as the enforcer waiting for her call.
And so it was…
“Had it become public, the unverified material would undoubtedly have been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on the attorney general’s independence in connection with the Clinton investigation,” Comey writes, according to ABC. He calls the material a “development still unknown to the American public to this day.” (ABC Link)
The emails Anthony Weiner’s lawyer brought to Preet Bharara was Weiner’s leverage to escape prosecution. Likely those emails were exactly as Eric Prince sources outlined. However, the SDNY responding to upper level leadership buried those emails.
In DC the FBI (Comey and McCabe) created the appearance of a re-opening of the Clinton investigation to keep control and ensure the investigative outcomes remained out of the hands of the Eastern District (EDNY) and New York FBI field office. They had no choice.
However, once the FBI opened the investigation October 28th, they did exactly the same thing they had done from September 28th to October 28th… they did nothing.
A few days later they declared the second investigation closed, and that was that.
They never expected her to lose.
Donald Trump became an immediate risk…
The Battle to Save The Republic Continues…
Did I miss something? Has AG Barr retired?
He acts like it.
He does something? ? ? ?
Yes. Retired but drawing full salary.
Are they also making sure that they are getting all of the emails in their DRAFT folders, at all of their email addresses including the non-gubt ones? Remember, they used those to “Chat” w/each other “off the record”, or so they tho’t.
Or video game chats
Loretta: Meet me at the airport Bill.
what date?
near this date? “Please note within all of the released communication, emails and texts, at no time is anyone in the FBI directing an actual investigation of the content of the Clinton emails. Every single second of every FBI effort is devoted to shaping the public perception of the need for the investigation.”

thank you! it looks like a few days before the first FISA denial if one was denied in July
DNI should release that . if a FISA was requested and denied at thesame time as the hillary russia plan – that SAYS IT ALL.
So what happens now?
What happens now? The first thing I would do is talk to Weiner’s attorney. Who is he? Why isn’t he being asked questions about why did he turn the emails, who did he turn them to? did he ask for anything in return?
Covington & Burling…
“Amanda Kramer prosecuted many high profile defendants, including Anthony Weiner, the former Democratic Congressman whom Covington defended.”

Yep. Same group that screwed Flynn.

Plus, the first article is an announcement of Covington actually HIRING Anthony Weiner’s prosecutor.
Fake trial, fake cooperation? IMHO. Were any emails actually handed over to SDNY?
The guy did a great job for his client! Weiner pled to 1 count of underage sexting, served 18 mo in a prison medical facility in MA before being let off early for good behavior.
And that’s it, case closed, time served, forget about everything else on the hard drives. FBI probably recycled it already to get rid of all that one pesky underage image.
Yep. I remember seeing Anthony horseback riding at his “Prison.”
Replace the fbi “director” and replace the AG. If it looks as though mitch will make life difficult, work your way done the fbi/doj chain of command until you find someone that can hold things steady until after the election. Just fire those two, they are useless. They have not performed to standards.
Q: I can’t see Weiner or Weiner’s attorney handing over the laptop just like that
For starters the 2 of them must have known once handed over, the evidence is GONE and nothing wuld stop Killary from doing her dastardly deed for which the laptop evidence labelled as such, was an “insurance policy”.
I think they made copies as a further insurance policy
I think others also made copies…
Afterall blackmail is the name of the DemScum game
Imagine the leverage over Killary and Billiary if others in the DemScum party have those emails…
Just to put this out there, possibly there are more than one young person with respect to Weiner and his lawyers pulled a deal with respect to the email publication / sharing

Grassley: Pretty please?
Johnson: With sugar on it?
Wray: Texts? We ain’t got no texts! We don’t need no texts! We don’t have to show you any stinking texts! (apologies to Alfonso Bedoya)
Trump: You’re fired! (Maybe after Nov. 3?)
Nobody messes with Fred C. Dobbs
No, this time it’s a very, very, strongly worded letter
Grassley not up for election this year. He is 2022. His upset and frustration may be genuine, unlike Graham.
Bryant, I say not genuine. Grassley is not our friend. IMO, NONE of them in the senate are our friends ……..recess appointments?
Agree – too much time between “strongly worded letters” and zero Senate adjournments to allow POTUS recess appointments bypassing the corrupt SSCI. Grassley and Johnson are vile.
i hope he looses. He’s rotten. Just endless puffball requests that are ignored with impunity. And he’s always snaking in amnesty for illegal aliens. Time-marking geezer needs to go.
Don’t forget that Grassley conveniently stepped aside as Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee to let Graham take over running out the clock. Same ilk as silo specialists Bondo Barr and tick-tock Durham.
Prolly because Graham was up for re-election and wanted to do some faux posturing on the coup as Cmte Chair prior to his NOV re-election to justify his very existence to voters.
Every maneuver they perform is for political preservation and nothing to benefit the American people.

Since when does the FBI get to dictate to a Senator what he will or will not release? This is not how government is supposed to operate!
That’s exactly how this entire scandal has dragged out and is still ongoing..
The Senate Majority Leader and SSCI Chair would raise hell and threaten (to us leverage) in a normal world. The DOJ would step in and force FBI’s compliance in a normal world.
But we have not been in a normal world for many years. Senate / SSCI / DOJ / FBI leadership are all corrupt to the core and covering up their own malfeasance AND each others back.
So the document requests are made to look good to voters but are magically obstructed by everyone internally to prevent the damaging info from surfacing….
Kind of late for this. Would have been nice three years ago!
Another letter? How about subpoenas?
Wray wants The Donald to fire him before the election.
Didn’t we read something yesterday about a rumor re: Trump asking for pro forma resignation letters from every political appointee prior to the election? That sounds like classic Trump.
Conclusion…They ALL think we’re stupid.
This Alpha bank?

At the very least there should be a slew of charges as a result of an ongoing cover-up.
Let’s get PDJT over the top in three weeks and then let the indictments flow.
So WHEN Wray doesn’t deliver by Friday, what happens next?
Another damn letter?
Stronger wording in letter.
Double secret probation.
Double Secret Secret Probation
Yep, my thought exactly. If you say something is unacceptable, your next sentence needs to detail the consequences. Since they didn’t include that, they are just running out the clock.

Is this the part where they planned to assassinate Trump?

There’s your answer. After the election.
Win and their will be justice. Lose and it will be the Soetoro/Cankles show again.
If we lose, there will most likely be a lot more than the Soetoro and Cankles party going. Start reading more websites.
We won’t lose.
NOTHING BUT NOTHING IS GONNA HAPPEN NOW if the stuff is released
There isnt enough time
if Pres Trump wins it will be released after the election and they will go after the plotters
If Pres Trump loses it is an insurance policy against retaliation from DemScum and the Deep State,because make no mistake they will go hard guns after Pres Trump and his family.
“We have it all”
I don’t get it…why doesn’t Grassley go speak to Bagpipes directly with the letter already sent to Wray and ask Bagpipes why his FBI Director is obstructing? I’m fed up with this shit.
Grassley is protecting his friends in the SSCI while trying to look like he’s not a part of the problem.
maybe grassley has fear the fbi doj will decide to select him.?
remember the lesson truth shown clearly by the LTGEN setup.
when the agency decides you are a serious threat…they get very creative and draw deep into the bowels to destroy you.
grassley is man’s fool…
look what they have done and continue to do with POTUS!!!
I would imagine a politico…yes even one and esp one on the intel committee is navigating shark island… better to get the boat as close to the reef as possible before getting wet.
opinion… don’t know grassley well… but the environment is well established.
*NO MAN’S fool
Too bad we don’t have an FBI and AG who gives a big POOP
We have been lied to for YEARS
It’s awful what has happened but yet you have certain GOP who are saying “just shut up and do whatever it is you are supposed to be doing”
but what difference does any of this make now??? Nobody is going to jail it seems

Who knows what additional co-morbidities exist with him.
Besides an obviously high BMI, that is.
yes he is definitely a super spreader
of bullcorn!
To be fair, Barr has been hiding since he arrived on the job.

When has Solomon been right about anything?
“Those 2016 text messages were during the time when an internal argument was taking place about the need for McCabe to recuse himself from the reopening of the Clinton email investigation because he tried to bury the Weiner laptop emails for 28-days in October.”
WUT? HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHHUH
Hear that Beavis?,,,,,”he tried to bury the Weiner”
the emails had dirt on half of her gov allies.
thats why they went this route.

Because Killary KNEW Obama had a plan to keep her on a leash if she won by blackmailing her.
PHRASING!
are we doing phrasing now?
So Grassley and Johnson- you two douche nozzles expect the coup plotters to voluntarily turn over evidence that incrimmnates them? Bwhahahahaha.
Via yet another “strongly worded letter” no less – ? ? ?
Who were the new prosecutors appointed to replace the fired team? Any nepotism in those new hires?
You mean like Clinton bagman McAuliffe giving $600,000 to McCabe’s wife in her political run in Virginia?
Where the typical campaign spend for the position she sought was around $50k-70k?
We know her campaign bought at least 2 t-shirts.
In Virginia, I believe you can keep your leftover campaign money.
Or you can take it to your nearest authorized Porsche Audi dealer.

and there will be assistance
Thank you! i dont have an account – i manually look for responders! just got back to here! ill look that up now bc!
holeee mackerel … what if the DOJ and FBI went after fentanyl smugglers and pushers instead of this fraud and deceit and coup scheme …
or … is the FBI even capable anymore of going after actual criminals ?
They ARE the criminals.
Hey Barr! You won’t be AG forever, you will be prosecuted as part of the coup. DO YOUR JOB.
Asking and requesting for evidence will get you nowhere chuck. When does the demand come out of their mouths ?
Subpoena? They don’t enforce their subpoenas anyway.
Republicans: we’re not interested in any more theater. Produce results or your party is history.
Wray needs to be LOOONG gone!
So, why doesn’t PDJT officially order Wray to immediately provide the requested records to Grassley, unredacted? The Senate can receive ‘classified” records. And then immediately leak them….
Something is very wrong when PDJT refuses to order Executive Branch employees to respond to the Senate requests.
When Wray refuses, PDJT can then ‘officially’ make a formal recommendation about whether to retain or discharge Wray, with reasoning. Puts both Barr and Wray in the public spotlight.
‘officially’ ask Barr to make a formal recommendation about whetehr to retain or discharge Wray….
Shouldn’t there be records of the NYPD getting subpoenas, warrants, and evidence against Weiner? If Erik Prince is to be believed, the Feds already had the laptop, why would Weiner’s lawyer need to ‘deliver’ emails to the Feds? The lawyer had a hunch the DOJ was sitting on it? Is this just another elaborate ‘media narrative’ injected into our consciousness to poison the well to protect people and insitutions? Sidney Powell has hinted in a speech of hers that’s been linked in comments before, that NYPD people were absolutely sickened by what they saw. From her lips to God’s ears, I’d take her word over anyone’s. Federal records of evidence transfer? Anything?
We are all like prisoners waiting for the jailer to crack our door open and let us fantasize about escaping. Democracy is a cancer. Come Lord Jesus, this place is prison of horrors. All wins are illusions. Our victories are fake. Enough with this hell of a system.
stay in the fight.
God will never abandon righteous prayers.
take comfort in this truth.
of course its tough… battling evil is never easy.
but know doing it IS obedience to God’s plan.
never give up…never give in.
pray on it… gather strength that can only come from God…
and get back in the fight.
The faux rage of Grassfed and Johnson is vile.
For 2/3 years they’ve allowed Wray to give them the finger, while concurrently refusing to adjourn the Senate which would’ve allowed POTUS to make recess appointments and bypass the corrupt SSCI. Their duplicity is vile; they are vile.
I agree those letters are a joke, they are still playing by the old Senate fancy decorum rules. Those times are long gone start charging them for contempt of Congress.
We all need to agree and accept nothing will happen before the election. Grassley continues to write sternly worded letters that no one reads. He knows they aren’t going to respond and is going through the motions to give us the appearance of doing something, which is nothing. It’s all kabuki theatre. Accept it.
FUBAR
VSGPDJT started at a rally that “they caught them cold and will take care of it after the election”
As the apex predator, his timing will be impeccable.
Buckle up Marxists
ps Prince is a hero for speaking up, and forcing chaos. Time will tell at the gallows.
I have to tell you “Buckle up Marxist” is my new favorite saying.
I felt uneasy when the President made that statement. He emphasized to the resistance the importance of preventing him “by whatever means Necessary” from being inaugurated in January.
If it hasn’t already been said, Grassley is a key figure in why we are in this mess. He told Trump that if he fires Sessions, no AG will be accepted soon thereafter. This allowed the coup to continue.
It’s great he is saber rattling now, but I think it’s just for show.
Fire Wray and place Grenell as interim…game over.
I guess my question is were all these redactions made during the Mueller SCO… knowing that eventually all the documents were going to slowly drip out, were these docs all redacted or redated so that a story could be told , plausible deniability…after all The SCO was running the DOJ at the time… Rod R already said he didnt supervise anything
SD:
“Today Grassley and Johnson send a letter [pdf here] asking FBI Director Chris Wray to stop stonewalling congressional oversight and provide the text messages.”
Wray has nothing to lose by continuing to resist until he is fired post-election or given a pass by Biden.
Moreover, Grassley and Johnson are merely grandstanding, knowing the latest of their pseudo-demands will produce no action.
I’m wondering if Barr might have already told PT he is stepping aside after Nov 3 and they are keeping it on the QT until after the election?
Not a peep from him or press sec in 8-9 days now.
the black out is noted.
not even going to try to understand what that.might mean.
what we do know is the pattern..
Barr has officially collapsed all justice until the election is over.
when trump wins…he will shut down the SC durham show…and seal it up…and announce his last day.
then Mitch will pitch again…
Potomac square dance.
Follow the recent timeline: Last week, President Trump was being interviewed live on Fox News when he was told of a report where Barr was telling Republicans, no indictments before the election. Trump was taken aback saying he hadn’t heard that and asked who was reporting it.
Now, tonight while the President is speaking in Johnstown and says we caught them and we will charge them after the election, this report of no charges for unmasking breaks and oddly by the WP.
My bet is Barr is shutting down all investigations, doesn’t care if the President is embarrassed politically, and we will likely hear of his resignation soon. My hunch is Trump has already asked for it.
Comey and Loretta Lynch disagree over calling the HRC investigation a “matter”
Comey and Brennan disagree with adding the pee tape allegation to the ICA
Comey and Trump disagree about PDJT asking Comey to let flynn go
Comey and McCabe disagree over McCabes authorization to leak to MSM
These are significant disagreements by parties on the same side and seemingly against PDJT. Each statement has something in common with the others.
Thank God for Christopher Wray not giving the criminal politicians the documents they are looking for to bamboozle the American people with to head any prosecutions off at the pass!! You must be naive or stupid or corrupted or brainwashed to not realize this.
The fbi was too busy working on the whitmer kidnapping case.
In Virginia, I believe you can keep your leftover campaign money.
Great information Sundance, thanks
What good has or will come of any of the demands made by Nunes, Johnson and Grassley for oversight documents?
Bill Barr doesn’t prosecute Democrat politicians and their administrators. Sad. We live in an unmistakable dual justice system.
I was on facebook and got a post from lindsy’s campaign. In the comments section i posted. Why don’t you ask mr jones? He was Feinstein’s aid. He raised 50 mil for fusion gps. And why did mr wolf the ssci security leason plead guilty to 1 count of lying when he leaked the fisa application to allie watkins of the new york times? I know i have no power. But i can’t wait for action any more! Good sign was when i left people were arguing if i was right. And others were explaining the story in more detail. My notice light is on with 32 notices. I’ll explain more on my reply’s. Sundance I’m certain some were treepers! But some heard this scandal for the first time.?
P.s. i live in TEXAS. Why I’m seeing ads from s.carolina? I don’t know. But lindsy came to my house. And i couldnt pass it up!??????????
I, too, live in Texas, and I receive 5-10 texts a day seeking $$$ for Repub candidates nationwide. It’s a lesson learned from donating to the RNC.
Gotta wonder why rhonna romney gave her mailing list to Nicki hailey? I didn’t say it was ok.?
