I have never seen such a "botched" investigation in my entire life. The FBI did EVERYTHING it could to put all of the evidence of Hillary wrongdoing permanently out of reach:

Failing to question Hillary under oath.

Failing to pursue an "obstruction of justice" charge against Hillary when it became clear that she permanently wiped her records ("like with a cloth?") AFTER being subpoenaed.

Giving witnesses (Hillary staffers) immunity. Good grief, you don't give WITNESSES immunity.

Allowing staffers to destroy their laptops and phones ... and any possibility of recovering copies or other evidence ... not "like with a cloth?" but more "like with a hammer".

Lynch talking with Bill on the tarmac (for 20 minutes) as an excuse to delegate her prosecutorial authority to someone else, in this case Comey.

Comey shutting down a prosecution when it was not within his authority.

Can you say "COVER UP"?

Sure you can!

Brennan "Needs Very Good Lawyer" Says DiGenova; "He's Going To Be In Front Of A Grand Jury Shortly"

Veteran D.C. attorney Joe diGenova - who President Trump initially wanted to hire to represent him in the Mueller probe, only to have to step aside due to conflicts - sat down on Fox News on Thursday where he put a bow on what many believe was a high-stakes gamble by various members within the Obama Intelligence Community (IC) and others to infiltrate the Trump campaign and frame Donald Trump with Russiagate.

Key among the participants in this alleged plot is former CIA director John Brennan, whose involvement is thought to have dovetailed with the FBI's recently disclosed "operation Crossfire Hurricane" - the code name given to the agency's earliest counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign. The FBI says the operation was launched following a drunken conversation between a Clinton-linked Australian ambassador and a low-level Trump associate, George Papadopoulos, who may have been set up from the start after being fed information by a professor named Joseph Mifsud, who is currently missing.

When Carlson asked diGenova for an update on recent developments, the former federal prosecutor (and special counsel to boot) said:

* We know that Hillary Clinton was illegally exonerated
* We know that there was a substantial effort to frame the current President of the United States with crimes by infiltrating his campaign and then his administration with spies that the FBI had set upon them
* We have learned that the crimes were committed by the FBI, senior members of the Department of Justice, John Brennan, Mr. Clapper, Mr. Comey, and others associated with the Democratic party
* Donald Trump and his associates committed no crimes

When asked to explain the mechanics of the setup, diGenova tells Carlson that the FBI "purposely sent people into the Trump campaign to plant false information, then forced that information to be forwarded back to CIA and then funneled to the FBI, to be used as false information in FISA applications."

"Everybody involved in that process who knowingly participated committed a crime," diGenova added. The lawyer then offered Brennan some legal advice:

Tucker: So why aren't they being held to account?

diGenova: As of today, I understand that a referral for criminal prosecution has been made by Mr. Horowitz to Mr. Huber, who is investigating the FISA leaks, the unmasking, the leaks of the unmasking and everything we described tonight. Criminal referrals have already been made, and I suggest that Mr. Brennan - who loves to make comments about the process, get himself a good lawyer. Not a good writer.

Tucker: Wait, John Brennan the NBC news paid consultant?

diGenova: Yes, NBC News' consultant, the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the most partisan hack leader of the CIA in history, needs a very very good lawyer.

Tucker: Criminal lawyer?

diGenova: Yes, criminal lawyer - oh yes, he doesn't need a slip-and-fall lawyer, although he's going to slip and fall. He's going to be in front of a grand jury shortly.

Tucker: That's news.

diGenova: Yes, and that's good news.

I am referencing this thread, http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=62024, because SIG is posting lies again and more times than not, sources her information that she posts here from zerohedge. She stupidly defends this as a reputable source. Something she does with other unreliable sources.

Below are the names of those behind zero hedge. Don't miss what I've highlighted in red below. This folks is why comrade troll SIG loves to quote zero hedge.




In addition, Lokey said he faced constant pressure to frame stories in-line with a particular world-view, which he described as “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry=dunce. Vladmir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.”




All of this matches SIG's playbook here and Putin's globally; exactly. http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=62024



The men behind zero hedge

Colin Lokey, a 32-year-old former Seeking Alpha director

Daniel Ivandjiiski, a 37-year-old Bulgarian-born former hedge fund employee who was barred for insider trading in 2008

Tim Backshall, a 45-year-old credit derivatives strategist
Despite its populist tone, Lokey told Bloomberg he recently left Zero Hedge because he didn’t see eye-to-eye with the others when it came to editorial vision.

“Zero Hedge ceased to serve that public service years ago,” Lokey said. “They care what generates page views. Clicks. Money.”

In addition, Lokey said he faced constant pressure to frame stories in-line with a particular world-view, which he described as “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry=dunce. Vladmir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.”

Lokey claims Zero Hedge’s focus on traffic and revenue is hypocritical, but Ivandjiiski sees things differently.

Finally, Zero Hedge addressed the accusations of systematic bias in its content.

“We are certainly ok with being the object of other’s conspiracy theories, in this case completely false ones since we have never been in contact with anyone in Russia, or the US, or any government for that matter,” Zero Hedge says.

The site claims it has never accepted a dime of funding outside of advertising revenue and that Lokey was never pressured about how to frame his articles or editorialized.

According to the Bloomberg article, three men have been churning out all of the content at Zero Hedge, using the joint pseudonym “Tyler Durden” from the Brad Pitt film “Fight Club.” The 1999 cult film, according to Rolling Stone, is “about being young, male and powerless against the pacifying drug of consumerism. It’s about solitude, despair and bottled-up rage.” That ethos is frequently on display at Zero Hedge.

The three “Tyler Durdens” outed by Bloomberg reporters are Colin Lokey, who has now left Zero Hedge in a fit of pique and is responsible for handing over the internal chat sessions from Zero Hedge on traffic-building strategies and other matters. Bloomberg says “the other two men are Daniel Ivandjiiski, 37, the Bulgarian-born former analyst long reputed to be behind the site, and Tim Backshall, 45, a well-known credit derivatives strategist.”

The article notes that “Ivandjiiski has a multimillion-dollar mansion in Mahwah, N.J., and Backshall lives in a plush San Francisco suburb,” suggesting these are “not exactly reflections” of the anti-capitalism reflected in the moniker “Tyler Durden.”

Perhaps the pertinent question is not who, but what level?

Page, Strzok, they can go to prison.
McCabe accepted the payoff from Hilliary/McCauliffe, so he should be safe.
Lynch and Comey have been useless, so they could be going to the slammer.
Hilliary has been quite blatant, unrepentant in her Criminal conduct - maybe enough to not forgive and keep her out of prison.
Brennan doesn't seem to have many friends outside Libtards, maybe he's vulnerable.
Obviously Obama knew of all this, and he is no longer a sitting POTUS, an example should finally be set.

No matter the results here, Trump needs to fire Rosenstein as soon as the SC shop is shuttered.

Oh, I read somewhere that the spying began in April, before Papadoupulos ever drunkenly insinuated to Australian Ambassador [and Clinton Foundation illegal money-channeler] Downer that Russians had "dirt" on Hillary.

If THAT wasn't what started the spying ... what did??? The implication is that Downer didn't just "happen" to meet Papadoupulos, he was actually tasked with entrapping him.

FBI Agent In Charge Of "Russiagate" Operation And Clinton Email "Matter" To Testify Tuesday

FBI Counterintelligence chief, Bill Priestap, will sit down for a closed-door session with lawmakers on Tuesday, according to John Solomon of The Hill.

Priestap will be answering questions about the Hillary Clinton email case as well as the counterintelligence operation on the Trump campaign - both of which he oversaw. Priestap was the direct supervisor of Peter Strzok - the FBI agent whose anti-Trump / pro-Clinton bias was revealed after 50,000 text messages to his FBI-attorney mistress, Lisa Page, were discovered by the DOJ's Inspector General, Michael Horowitz.

All accounts say that Priestap is a cooperating witness. In other words, if there's one person who can confirm that the FBI counterintelligence operation on the Trump campaign was politically motivated - or that malfeasance occurred during the process, it's Bill Priestap

... When you understand how central E.W. “Bill” Priestap was to the entire 2016/2017 ‘Russian Conspiracy Operation‘, the absence of his name, amid all others, created a curiosity... E.W. “Bill” Priestap is the head of the FBI Counterintelligence operation. He was FBI Agent Peter Strozk’s direct boss. If anyone in congress really wanted to know if the FBI paid for the Christopher Steele Dossier, Bill Priestap is the guy who would know everything about everything.

... Everyone around Bill Priestap, above and below, were caught inside the investigative net.

Above him: James Comey, Andrew McCabe and James Baker.

Below him: Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Jim Rybicki, Trisha Beth Anderson and Mike Kortan.

Parallel to Priestap in main justice his peer John P Carlin resigned, Sally Yates fired, Mary McCord quit, Bruce Ohr was busted twice, and most recently Dave Laufman resigned.

He and his wife, Sabina Menschel, live a comfortable life in a $3.8 million DC home; she comes from a family of money. While ideologically Bill and Sabina are aligned with Clinton support, and their circle of family and friends likely lean toward more liberal friends; no-one in his position would willingly allow themselves to be the scape-goat for the unlawful action that was happening around them.

Bill Priestap had too much to lose… and for what?

With all of that in mind, there is essentially no-way the participating members inside the small group can escape their accountability with Mr. Bill Priestap cooperating with the investigative authorities.

Who needs to think about it? The MSM just regurgitates what the deep state tells it to.

Now here's another "buried" MSM story. As a comment, one of the things that I have wondered about is the scattershot way that people have been resigning/ fired/ demoted in the DOJ and FBI. The number of people ... if you add them all up ... who have disappeared from the employee roster is truly astounding.

IF the MSM wants to do a real investigative piece, they would be sniffing up and down the official DOJ and FBI org charts to see "who reported to whom". It's a simple matter of record. And then, one simply looks for the missing testimony. But of course, such an obvious piece of inquiry seems to be beyond them.

THE CIA AND THE MEDIA
How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up

... Alsop is one of more than 400 American journalists who in the past twenty-five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA headquarters. Some of these journalists’ relationships with the Agency were tacit; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine services—from simple intelligence gathering to serving as go-betweens with spies in Communist countries. Reporters shared their notebooks with the CIA. Editors shared their staffs. Some of the journalists were Pulitzer Prize winners, distinguished reporters who considered themselves ambassadors without-portfolio for their country. Most were less exalted: foreign correspondents who found that their association with the Agency helped their work; stringers and freelancers who were as interested in the derring-do of the spy business as in filing articles; and, the smallest category, full-time CIA employees masquerading as journalists abroad....

Caveat Emptor: MSNBC and CNN Use CIA Apologists for False Commentary
MSNBC prides itself for progressive reporting on national security issues but continues to use apologists for the Central Intelligence Agency in reporting on key intelligence issues. The network’s reliance on former deputy director of the CIA John McLaughlin is an excellent example of the skewed and tailored information that it offers to viewers on matters dealing with CIA. McLaughlin, a former colleague of mine at the CIA who I remember as an amateur magician, regularly pulls the wool over the eyes of such MSNBC veterans as Andrea Mitchell.Brennan is now a commentator on CNN.

Ulfkotte was an editor at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the largest newspapers in Germany, when he published Bought Journalists, the bestselling book that cost him his job and perhaps his life.

German media, who were banned from reporting on his work in recent years, are reporting he died of “heart failure”.

when we tried to manipulate or influence elections or even overturned governments, it was done with the best interests of the people in that country in mind .. and the mechanisms for that .... We’ve used posters, pamphlets, mailers, banners — you name it. We’ve planted false information in foreign newspapers.

And you might be able to find a couple believable instances in the last 25 years of CIA trying to influence the press, but not even close to this silly noise, "They print what the Deep State tells them to."

Sure, it does happen, but not anywhere near how often you say. You want to taint entire decades and thousands and thousands of true stories and an entire profession with a few examples. Your head is firmly up your deep state.- GSTRING

Yes! Of course they do! But not like you think. Consumers are the true Deep State when it comes to MSM. Some day I'll explain it to you - I'm just a bit busy right now.- GSTRING

As often as you can. Hey G, KPO, JO, SECOND, do you believe Sig's post? Her suggesting she doesn't is one whopper of a lie. It's her passion and her attacks are relentless.
