The Magic Man is on record saying, no, not a smidgeon of interest on my part in what the FBI was doing as they investigated Trump.

But then, there's this, from Byron York:

Quote:First of all it's not a new set of texts, that is one thing we learned. This is not new batch that went over to Congress. These texts were released earlier and they were redacted and blacked out. And remember what the Justice Department said to Congress. Well, Strzok and Page are having an affair. I mean, that's private stuff, personal stuff, so we are going to black that out. And Congress said fine. And then they started looking at what was sent over and there were things like, 'meeting tomorrow in so and so's office' and the name would be blacked out and they thought well, that doesn't sound like personal stuff. And some of these names were names like Denis McDonough, the Chief of Staff in the Obama White House.

Now, the bigger picture is, they have been trying to find out how far knowledge of things like the Trump dossier, the allegations in the Trump dossier, how far did that go up the chain in the Obama administration? Remember, we first thought it was just a few people at the FBI. Then it went higher in the FBI. Then it was the State Department. And now, it looks like, the White House, too.

Been saying this since Trump claimed Trump Tower was bugged. I said from the start--if that was true--then you can bet that information was being passed on to the WH and then to Hillary.

At first---the accusation was laughed and categorically denied. Then they admitted there was "electronic surveillance"---but only a few low level FBI folks knew. Then we find out everyone and thier dog at the White House is unmasking people in these conversations---including Susan Rice. Now it appears things have been redacted from texts sent to Congress that actually point to White House officials being told about this information (for those who dont remember---redacting material information from transcripts was part of the Nixon cover up pattern during Watergate).

Said it before and I will say it again---when this story is fully told---this Obama White House will be unmasked as the most corrupt White House in history. Watergate was about a failed independent attempt to bug the Democrat campaign HQ. Nixon didnt know about the plan--but WAS involved in the coverup. In this case, it appears that Obama knew about the plan, was part of the plan, and knowingly used the US intelligence agencies against the opposition party---now he and his henchman are all trying to cover up the illegal actions. This is illegal banana republic stuff I thought I'd never see in the US.

Clearly, when evidence suggesting that a foreign government was meddling in our election is found, the DOJ and the FBI should TOTALLY keep the White House in the dark.

Yeah, that Steele Dossier was so damning.......better let the White House know ASAP.

Lol.

So the “insurance policy” was to prevent a foreign government from meddling in our election?

Curious, why didn’t fired Andy and the lovebirds actually do anything about it? Not moan and get zerO to put on some lame sanctions AFTER the election, what difference could that possibly make? No, before the voting took place?

Like restricting the $300 ad buy in Pennsylvania prior to the election?

Nother crazy asss coincidence I guess. Seem to be dozens of them of late...

Mostly:


But Obama should have told him to crawl along.

Wait, so zerO was answering to McDoneld? I don’t think his own dog answers to him.
Why would the Exec branch, the PRESIDENT, of the opposition party, take orders from one member of one half of the Legislative branch?

That’s your contorted reach du jour? Really?

What was the insurance policy discussed in fired Andy’s office? Any guesses?

Dude, it's ******* reality. Look, it was clearly a touchy subject. If Obama goes public on his own he risks totally throwing the election to trump. I don't envy the position he was in. Regardless, I think we was wrong.

Quote:“The president asked the four leaders in a bipartisan meeting in the Oval Office to join him in asking the states to work with us on this question,” McDonough said. “It took over three weeks to get that statement worked out. It was dramatically watered down."

Asked if it was watered down at the insistence of McConnell and only McConnell, McDonough responded, “yes.”

The New York Times reported last year that McConnell had questioned the intelligence on election interference and agreed to a softer version of the letter that spoke of “malefactors” to be aware of but did not specifically mention Russia.

McConnell is responsible for making law. He has no authority to water down an intelligence statement.

I guess McDonough is saying that "Obama and us members in his administration were such cucks that we took our marching orders from the opposition senate majority leader." Not exactly a good look. It would better if they simply said "yea, we wiretapped your ass. Get over it." I mean, neither ends well, but at least they would look like their balls have dropped into their sacks.

How does revealing/releasing any info on some mad ROOOSKIES!!! having phishing expeditions in the DNC, RNC, or campaign staffers unsecured computer systems “totally throw the election to Trump”?
Makes no sense.

What was the “insurance policy” that was talked about in fired Andy’s office? Any wild ass guesses on that one?

With all of this starting to come out, I expect Mueller to start leaking like a gonohhrea infected urethra again to try to divert attention away from his home boy Comey.

Unfortunately though, you have about the same prediction record as Dick Morris.

lol...If the Republican National Committee

1) Created a fake Dossier on Adam Schiff with the aide of a foreign power

2) Used that fake dossier to get his phones bugged because there was fear of "foreign inteference"

3) Then passed all info garered by the FBI to the White House---and used it to start an investigation of the DNC (and all high ranking democrats) while also using the info to coordinate with the RNC strategy

---Im sure CNN would think that was completely reasonable. No way they would ever be inciting riots in the streets and preaching civil disobedience. Not CNN. They would think its all good.

Yeah. Right. Im not worried because this will all come out eventually.
