DOJ rejects McCabe's appeal to avoid prosecution

Andrew McCabe's appeal to avoid facing prosecution after charges were recommended by federal prosecutors for his criminal activity were rejected by the Department of Justice.

McCabe who was the former deputy FBI director "was fired from the FBI just before his retirement in March 2018 after the Justice Department's internal watchdog concluded that he had improperly authorized a leak about a federal investigation into the Clinton Foundation in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign," according to USA Today.

As reported by CNN [aka the Compromised News Network and the current employer of McCabe]:

The US attorney, Jessie Liu, recommended that McCabe should be indicted, and in a meeting with Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen at the Justice Department last month, McCabe's attorneys argued against that recommendation, one of the sources said.

On Thursday, a senior DOJ official sent McCabe's legal team an email saying that that appeal had been rejected, according to a second person who is close to the legal team.

McCabe has said he never intentionally misled anyone. His attorneys say that any charges against him would be driven by politics and retaliation from President Donald Trump for the FBI's scrutiny of his administration.

NewsBusters' Curtis Houck noted that CNN didn't bother to mention the fact that McCabe is a paid CNN employee until the last sentence of its report. That's called burying the facts.

Republican lawmakers weighed in before the light turns green and New York cabbies blow their horn.

In true Trump fashion, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) tweeted:

Wow. Reports that a U.S. Attorney has formally recommended pursuing CRIMINAL CHARGES against former Deputy FBI Director and CNN analyst Andrew McCabe for lying to investigators, Hopefully this is merely the beginning of long overdue accountability. Justice will be done.

Meadows simply forgot the exclamation points.

It seems only fair that McCabe be indicted, just as Carter Page was indicted and Gen. Michael Flynn was indicted. And hopefully if he's found guilty, he will be sentenced for more than 14 days, if you know what I mean.

Creative News Network hires 'the Bull Whisperer'

The Creative News Network (CNN) announced Friday the hiring of 'Lyin' Andy' McCabe, the disgraced FBI Deputy Director. He was fired from the bureau for lying just days before he was to retire, and that's when CNN knew that this was the guy for them and they scarfed him up. Who better to comment and "report" on President Trump and the GOP than "The Bull Whisperer?"

McCabe was canned in March 2018, merely hours before he was set to retire with a pension, after a Department of Justice Inspector General report found that he "lacked candor, including under oath" over the revelation that he leaked to the media. Due to the fact that justice is unequal and often political, McCabe is able to walk among us a free man.

The lizard brains at CNN complained incessantly this week over Fox News hiring former White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and went equally ballistic when another former White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, landed an ABC "Dancing With The Stars" gig, because to them, everything is political.

CNN, also known colloquially as the Comedy News Network and as the Compromised News Network and formerly the Clinton News Network, had a crap-fest of a week. Their "Trump" propagandist, April Ryan, was giving a speech and her bodyguard was charged with assaulting a journalist. In other words, a so-called journalist allowed another journalist to be attacked by her bodyguard for the crime of doing journalism.

Then there's Chris Cuomo who in gangland style threatened to throw a man down a flight of stairs for calling him "Fredo," the dumb brother of the Godfather in the movie by the same name. In spite of the fact that Cuomo once referred to himself as Fredo, and the name was used on CNN in the past, "Don" Cuomo was super-pissed and went into a profanity-laced tirade which seemed to confirm the label he was given. Of course, it was wrong to call him Fredo in the first place, but Cuomo's response was over the top.

And then we have Don Lemon, an openly gay CNN host who makes Chris Cuomo seem like Stephen Hawking on Prevogin. A lawsuit has been filed in court against Lemon over sexual assault allegations, for which there is an alleged witness. A man in a bar asked Lemon if he could buy him a drink to which Lemon allegedly put his hand down into his skivvies, allegedly rubbed his balls and then allegedly shoved his fingers into the man's mustache and allegedly asked him if he liked d**k or p***y.

So political folks and journalists went on social media to share their thoughts about the hiring of McCabe.

Never the one to be shy about anything going on in the world that he could comment on, especially anything negative about CNN, President Trump reached into his limited bag of insults and tweeted: "Disgraceful!"

Dana Loesch tweeted: "So those at CNN who were up in arms over Fox hiring Sanders and Spicer appearing on dancing with the stars are celebrating their network’s hiring of Andrew McCabe, who, unlike Spicer and Sanders, lied under oath and was referred for criminal charges by the IG."

Perhaps my favorite is this one in which Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) tweeted: "It's not every day @CNN can hire someone with "failed coup attempt" on their resume..."

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) tweeted: "Andrew McCabe: fired for lying to the FBI, caught by the Inspector General for unauthorized media leaks, and—worst of all—one of the ring-leaders in spreading the debunked and disastrous "Russian collusion" conspiracy theory. His reward? A paid CNN contract. Comical."

Except it isn't really comical--it's downright disgusting.

Journalist Yashar Ali tweeted: "McCabe is still the subject of a federal criminal investigation. McCabe is suing the Justice Department and the FBI. Is CNN going to disclose that fact every time he is on air? I'm assuming they're hiring him to talk about matters related to criminal justice and not the stock market."

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) tweeted: "McCabe->the FBI’s former Acting Director fired for leaking to the media & lying about it to the FBI, including under oath & “failing to adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, & accountability”. Nothing to see here...let’s just be outraged Spicer is dancing on ABC."

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted: "REMINDER: Andrew McCabe was fired by the FBI for leaking and getting caught lying about it. ANOTHER REMINDER: @CNN ceased being a 'news organization' a long time ago. They’re now a fully integrated anti-Trump propaganda network and they don’t even try hiding it anymore."

"I can do the same thing with my finger"

So whether you call them the Comedy News Network, Creative News Network, Commie News Network, Clinton News Network, or even the Compromised News Network, they are not to be taken seriously.

McCabe may have planned to 'get rid of Trump by any means necessary' if he could get a consensus

The following is satire so don't fact-check me.

There is no clear-cut evidence that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was plotting to assassinate President Donald J. Trump and discussed the plot with former fired FBI Director James Comey, but it is certainly possible, given the political climate in this country. All McCabe needed was a consensus, and he was ready to do the job.

According to McCabe, the future of the nation was at stake and having a president like Donald Trump was "simply not going to cut it," anonymous sources say he said.

McCabe also alleges that Rod Rosenstein was on board with going "all 25th Amendment on Trump" although he never said it out loud "but I could see it in he=is beady eyes." But Rosenstein denies he ever had that conversation with McCabe because he always felt he couldn't trust him and he was " a bit of an a**hole." He also believes that it's possible, although there is no clear proof, that McCabe is having a secret affair with Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, but that would need further substantiation.

My source at Brain Flushings has discovered that Rosenstein's assessment is 'spot on' regarding McCabe, while James Comey disagrees and thinks that "Lordy, you cannot get a more upstanding, decent, patriotic American than Andy McCabe. I mean, golly, he is wonderful."

 I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

The plot sickens for McCabe and Strzok: both under grand jury investigation

As they came to that point in time to ride out into the sunset, Andrew McCabe and Peter "Consonants" Strzok allegedly did what any sneaky scumwafer would do while they still had access ro FBI files and computers--they tried to destroy evidence and documents, according to well-placed FBI and DOJ sources.

But low and behold, they were caught in the process by a sting operation.

Two guys who were supposedly the sharpest knives in the proverbial drawer serving the FBI, and headed the nation's Intel apparatus, both independently set out to allegedly destroy incriminating evidence before being dumped by the Bureau. And neither genius had a clue they were being watched--which usually can be attributed to a high level of narcissism.

FBI Director Chris Wray thought they might try covering their tracks and, working with people from the Inspector General's office, they set up a sting operation to prevent evidence from being destroyed, both documents and digital evidence, two FBI sources confirm.

McCabe and Strzok were under round-the-clock surveillance at different times, both at the FBI office and outside of HQ in Washington, D.C. All documents, databases and files that were manipulated or deleted by both Strzok and McCabe were being recorded and documented by federal agents. Original records were restored after the two muffs left the FBI.

"They had no clue they were being watched," an FBI source said.

Another inside source said "there were similar patterns" in what each dirtbag accessed at the FBI before being canned.

As to whether federal agents and the IG were running wiretaps on McCabe's and Strzok's phones while they were with the Bureau, one FBI source said, "It's a wise deduction."

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe and Strzok was forced to resign after a public hearing on Capitol Hill in which he made faces that could only have been inspired by Satan himself. Both butt-munchers stayed with the Bureau long after they should have, but there was no rush to push them out while the sting operation was going on. And both Frick and Frack kept obliviously playing along.

Federal sources say a grand jury has been convened regarding the two mental giants, along with other former FBI personnel, and the evidence that had been gathered will be the focus of the grand jury, as well as other violations during their tenures to be considered.

Utah US attorney John Huber was quietly selected by Sessions in 2017 to work with the DOJ to examine FBI misconduct as the GOP claimed along with the FBI's failure to indict Hillary Clinton's ties to a Russian nuclear agency.

The entire procedure is "hush" according to high-profile FBI-linked people involved and added, "There is so much to tackle but from what I know, the grand jury is now moving into the witness phase."

Now we just need to wait and see what the outcome will bring.

Trump to declassify key FISA documents, text messages in FBI Russia probe

BREAKING: President Trump ordered the declassification of some key documents regarding the FBI probe of Russia's part in the 2016 presidential election, including an application for a renewed surveillance warrant against Carter Page, a Trump campaign aide, along with text messages from disgraced FBI officials and adulterers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said POTUS ordered the documents released "[a]t the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency."

Specifically, the documents to be declassified also include 12 FBI reports on interviews with DOJ official Bruce Ohr and all FBI reports on interviews prepared on connection with all other applications to surveil Carter Page.

Trump also ordered the DOJ to release text messages from key players in the Russia investigation "without redaction" --including fired FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Ohr, Strzok and Lisa Page.

The date and method of release has not yet been released.

About two weeks ago, 12 Republican members of Congress asked Trump to declassify the June 2017 application for a warrant against Carter Page and for FBI reports of interviews with Ohr.

This may turn out to be groundbreaking information that may cause a few, if not many, heads to roll.

More to come as information becomes available.

Strzok-Page texts show they freaked out after Comey firing: 'DYING down here'

There are new text messages obtained from DOJ by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok both of whom are still employed by the FBI for some strange reason. 

The newly recovered messages exchanged between the Trump-hating lovers Strzok and Page reveal their shock and frustration after James Comey was fired by President Trump in May 2017. They apparently ran around like headless chickens reacting to the news.

The messages were transmitted to congressional committees on Thursday by the DOJ after the inspector general announced his office was able to recover missing communications sent during the critical period between December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017, the time of Comey's canning and Mueller's appointment as Special Counsel.

On the day former FBI Director Comey was fired, the lovebirds exchanged a barrage of text messages.

"Ack dammit I'm DYING down here," Strzok wrote. He invited his sweetie pie to talk and suggested they do lunch with another person whose name was redacted. "Now more than ever this is an important, critical time."

Just moments before, Strzok wrote, "And we need to open the case we've been waiting on now while Andy is acting."

The "case" referred to is not known, but the message suggests Strzok wanted to act while Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was still in charge after Comey was sent packing.

Page replied, "We need to lock in [redacted]. In a formal chargeable way. Soon."

Several days afterward, their texts show Page and Strzok rallying behind Comey.

"Are you watching this s*t?!?? Call me when you're off..." Strzok texted. "... [Sarah Huckabee Sanders] said D [Comey] had 'lost confidence of rank and file of fbi.'"

The paramours exchanged texts days later about feeling a "sense of loss," over Comey's departure, evidently. "Having a tough time processing tonight, Lis. Feeling a profound sense of loss," Strzok wrote through tears of profound sadness.

Page replied: "I feel that same loss. I want to see what the FBI could become under him! His vision of greatness for our strong but flawed organization. I'm angry. Angry and mourning. We will endure, we just won't be as good."

Gag me with a spoon.

"Yeah I keep telling myself the organization is much bigger and stronger than any one person, that we'll endure. But that didn't seem to help," Strzok replied.

How very fair and balanced.

Documents suggest coordination between FBI, CIA, Obama WH and Dems in Trump-Russia probe

Photo: Reuters

Text messages between FBI lovers/officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok were recently uncovered suggesting a possible covert coordination between high-ranking officials at the Obama White House, Justice Department, CIA, FBI and former Senate Democratic leadership in the early days of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

According to investigators, the information provided to Fox News "strongly" suggests collusion between Obama's Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (aka "Hairy Weed") and former CIA Director and possible closet Muslim John Brennan. This would clearly "contradict" the Obama administration's public claim about its hand in the process.

A text by Lisa Page to Strzok on Aug. 2, 2016 read: 

"Make sure you can lawfully protect what you sign. Just thinking about congress, foia, etc. You probably know better than me."

The next day Strzok texted Page describing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew (Andy) McCable as being concerned with "information control" related to the initial investigation into Trump's campaign. Brennan was sent to Capitol Hill around the same time to brief members of Congress about possible election interference, according to the New York Times.

Five days later, Strzok texted Page:

"Internal joint cyber cd intel piece for D, scenesetter for McDonough brief, Trainor [head of FBI cyber division] directed all cyber info be pulled. I'd let Bill and Jim hammer it out first, though it would be best for D to have it before the Wed WH session."

"D" refers to since fired FBI Director James Comey and "McDonough" refers to Obama's Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the GOP investigators said.

"We are not making conclusions. What we are saying is that the timeline is concerning enough to warrant the appointment of an independent investigator to look at whether or not the Obama White House was involved [in the Trump-Russia investigation]," a GOP congressional source told Fox News."

Of course, the CIA and FBI are independent agencies and are supposed to be non-partisan. Any coordination with the White House would be inappropriate.

Photo: AP

But does anyone doubt the existence of partisanship with Comey, Strzok, Page, Brennan and McCabe?

It seems as if they collectively believed they were being patriotic by thwarting Trump from remaining in office, that somehow it was their patriotic duty to get him impeached.

But alas, semi-useless Attorney General Jeff Sessions has now determined there will be no second special counsel and nobody will be held accountable in any of the aforementioned agencies.

And Hillary Clinton will never pay for her use of an illegal server. 

And Susan Rice will still be on the Netflix board of directors in spite of her lies and deception to the American public about Benghazi being inspired by a stupid video. 

And Obama will continue to make asinine, self-aggrandizing speeches about how there may one day be "a million Obamas." 

And Facebook will continue to farm our data to the Democrats.

And the sun will rise, and the sun will set, and nothing changes.

Former FBI agent says McCabe 'targeted', 'slandered' her

Robyn Gritz, a former FBI counterterrorism agent spoke about the recently fired former FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe's op-ed. McCabe titled the Washington Post piece, "Not in my worst nightmares did I dream my FBI career would end this way." This is because he believes, somehow, that he was above the scrutiny that regular FBI agents are under.

Gritz, who served 16 years with the bureau fighting terrorism, told "Fox and Friends" that she was in a restaurant when she heard of McCabe's firing and she shouted out loud when hearing the news because it brought back memories of how she was allegedly mistreated by him and the agency.

She said she began working with McCabe in 2005 until she eventually resigned several years later after McCabe allegedly retaliated against her for filing a harassment claim against one of her supervisors.

Gritz attested that while working as a "detailee" to the CIA, her boss began "scrutinizing [her] work and asking questions" about how she was apparently "fragile" after her divorce.

She said of her boss at the time [not McCabe] that "He made some discriminatory comments about why I was traveling and such." 

When she learned that this boss was making similar comments to a black coworker, Gritz said she decided to file a complaint against him. She said that when she filed the suit, McCabe signed off on an internal investigation against her, adding that "he knew that I was either filing or going to file the [case]."

She said that she "went through hell for a year and a half" and that "Andy made sure I couldn't get out of the division."

She also alleged that McCabe made "nasty, false" comments about her in a meeting. He was "lying," she said, "which is why he just got fired."

Gritz said that dozens of former FBI coworkers called her to celebrate McCabe's "being held accountable," which seems to rarely be the outcome for those in power.

Holder to Sessions: 'Do what I say, not what I do'

"I love you." "I love you more."

Former Attorney General and self-described "Wingman" for President Obama, Eric Holder has the audacity to criticize current Attorney General Jeff Sessions Monday night for his role in the firing of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. 

Obama's wingman said that Sessions must "have the guts to look at the president every now and then and say 'no.'" Something that he wished he had the testicles to do with Obama, he failed to mention.

Sessions fired McCabe on Friday, just two days before McCabe was to retire and he said the firing was the administration's "war on the FBI."

In truth, the firing of McCabe and previously the firing of James Comey, was more like a war on incompetence and political activism on part of the FBI leadership, and not on the agency as a whole. Trump "loves" the FBI because they do "an incredible job."

Complaining at Georgetown University, Holder accused Sessions of rushing to fire McCabe at Trump's behest, and the only way he could know this is for him to be a mindreader or maybe have a few friends at the NSA bug Trump's electronic communications.

"It may be that at the end of the day . . . [McCabe's] termination is appropriate," Holder admitted. "But you know, you don't rush that component of it to meet a deadline that I think the president essentially set. You're the Attorney General of the United States [and Holder was the Attorney General for Barack Obama]. You run the damn Justice Department," he said, trying to sound macho. "You know? And you've got to have the guts to look at the president every now and again and say 'no.'"

So how does Holder know that Sessions doesn't say 'no' to Trump? After all, Trump was obviously not pleased when Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation. That sounds as if he said 'no' to the president.

When did Holder ever say 'no' to Obama? 

The blatant hypocrisy of Eric Holder is not only palpable, it's outright laughable. The guy put guns in the hands of the Mexican cartel and got Brian Terry killed because of it. How dare he come off pontificating as if he was a great attorney general.

Obama's "Wingman" was also America's "Wingnut."

It must have really gotten to Holder when Trump tweeted about McCabe's firing that it was "a great day for Democracy" and a "great day for the hard working men and women of  the FBI."

Holder said Trump was "punching down" on McCabe, but he apparently doesn't realize that the president cannot let anything get past him without his input. That's what got him elected, in part, and the fact that Hillary Clinton is the most detestable person to ever run for the presidency.

Paul slams Brennan, America's hypocrite

Sen.Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed ex-CIA chief John Brennan for saying that President Trump will be remembered as a "disgraced demagogue." Rand said that Brennan's spying on Americans while he headed the agency was disgraceful.

"This man had the power to search every American's records without a warrant," Paul began in a tweet Sunday. "What's disgraceful is attacking the Bill of Rights and the freedom of every American."

Plus the fact that nobody knows the deal with Brennan, He visited the Muslim holy site, the Hajj, which only Muslims can visit. What's going on with that?

Paul has held strong disdain for Brennan for years, as does anyone who truly holds the U.S. Constitution as the final say in American democracy.

In 2013, Paul filibustered the Senate floor for 13 hours to block Obama's nomination for Brennan, a disgusting piece of floating effluvia in the scum pond of the gorilla cage at the Bronx Zoo in August. Paul's concern is whether the administration would execute a drone strike on an American on U.S. soil--after all, Obama executed a drone strike of an American citizen on foreign soil, not that the POS al Awlaki didn't deserve to be blown to bits.

The problem is, if you can kill an American, regardless of their terrorist ties, what's stopping the president from justifying the killing of an American he simply wants to kill? 

The president cannot be the judge and jury.

A year and a half after the filibuster, Rand joined a bipartisan call for the removal of Brennan as CIA chief after it was revealed his agency spied on Senate Intelligence Committee staffers.

Rands most recent criticism comes after Brennan's response to Trump on Friday night after AG Jeff Sessions fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe just two days before he was ready to retire on full taxpayer funded pension.

Sessions fired McCabe after an FBI report and an inspector general's report on McCabe showed his mishandling of the Hillary Clinton illegal email servers while pretending to be secretary of state.

Brennan tweeted:

"When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America ... America will triumph over you."

Brennan's Twitter pages claims that he is non-partisan.

With such a copious vocabulary as Brennan, you think he knew the definition of non-partisan.

McCabe turns over personal memos to Mueller investigation

Freshly fired FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe kept personal memos a là James Comey, on his interactions with President Trump.

The disclosure of the memos on Saturday, were confirmed to Fox News by a sneaky source close to the disgraced weasel and comes after he was dumped by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

McCabe gave the memos to Special Counsel Robert Mueller and it includes what Comey told him about his interactions with Trump, so that is considered hearsay in a court of law.

In fact, just because McCabe turned over something he has written, doesn't make the content factual, just like the memos Comey leaked.

McCabe is trying to put the blame on the Trump administration for his termination, but it was Jeff Sessions and the DOJ's  Office of Professional Responsibility that nailed his lying butt. Sessions said that he acted on the termination after a Justice Department inspector general's report and on the recommendation of FBI disciplinary officials. 

Not President Trump.

Sadly for McCabe, but happily for tax payers, the firing came just two days before his official retirement and his eligibility to receive his full retirement package.

President Trump tweeted:

Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI- A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI.

Rep. Mark Pocan, (D.-Wis.) extended a job offer to McCabe on Saturday because if there's one guy the Democrats like, it's a guy who hates Trump as much as he hates following the law. 

By hiring McCabe at the position offered, he would be able to get the taxpayer's retirement money.

Pocan (not to be confused with Pocahontas or pecan, a different form of nut) said, "Andrew McCabe's firing makes it clear that President Trump is doing everything he can to discredit the FBI. My offer of employment to Mr. McCabe is a legitimate offer to work on election security." 

[It's possible that Pocan wants McCabe to work with the New Black Panthers to suppress the white vote if Kamala Harris is nominated in 2020.]

McCabe released a "Hillary-esque" statement Friday suggesting his firing was part of the Trump administration's "war on the FBI," and a vast right wing conspiracy the likes of which would blow your mind.

Trump loved the firing and this had to sit poorly with not only McCabe, but also with Comey when Trump compared the two.

Trump later tweeted of alleged "tremendous leaking, lying and corruption" among the leaders of the FBI, DOJ and State Department.

The IG's report will likely conclude McCabe authorized the release of information to the media and was not forthcoming with the FBI while it examined the bureau's handling of the Hillary Clinton inquiry regarding her use of an illegal private email server, for which she was not indicted due to her royal status, while serving as Secretary of State under former president and socialist, Barack Obama.

"The FBI expects every employee to adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity and accountability," Sessions wrote in a statement.

In an effort to dilute his dishonesty and lack of candor, McCabe tired to shift blame and maintain his credibility saying the attack on him was "part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally," but also the bureau and law enforcement, which doesn't make sense.

Mueller is investigating whether Trump's actions, including the firing of Comey, constitute obstruction of justice. McCabe could be an important, unbiased (LOL) witness.

McCabe served over 20 years as an FBI official. His wife, Jill, ran in the Democratic Party for the Virginia State Senate and for which McCabe accepted a $600,000 campaign contribution, which went for nought--she lost and for which Andrew did not recuse himself.

McCabe is also alleged to have leaked FBI investigative information to the media. That's grounds for termination all by itself.

McCabe may have withheld Clinton evidence from Comey for 'weeks'

The Wall Street Journal reports that former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe may have learned about new Hillary Clinton emails on pervert Anthony Weiner's laptop almost a month prior to alerting Congress and may have waited weeks to tell then-FBI director James "Lordy" Comey of their existence. 

The WSJ said that a number of text messages shared between paramour FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page show McCabe "knew of thousands of new emails pertaining to Clinton's private email server used at the State Department on or before September 28, 2016."

Strzok and Page are under investigation for undermining the Clinton investigation as well as Mueller's inquiry into Trump campaign collusion with the Russians to influence the 2016 election.

The email between the lovebirds came exactly a month before Comey informed Congress that more evidence against Clinton's handling of classified information was found on the laptop of Weiner shared with his wife, Huma Abedin, a Clinton aide. 

This may show that McCabe wanted to wait before telling Comey.

Strzok texted Page on September 28th: "Got called up to Andy's [McCabe's] earlier. [H]undreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner's atty or sdny, includes a ton of material from spouse. Sending team up tomorrow to review . . . this will never end . . ."

Judicial Watch has put in a FOIA request asking for further evidence of McCabe's possible inaction on Clinton's emails. So far, the FBI is sitting on their hands like the Democrats did at the SOTU when Trump mentioned standing for the flag and the lowered black unemployment.

According to WSJ, the emails and text messages are now the subject of an internal FBI investigation about whether McCabe deliberately sat on the evidence of Clinton's illegal emails until the election was over in the hope that she won, or rekindle the investigation if somehow she lost to a TV reality star.

I mean, c'mon, what are the chances?

Trump accuses FBI of using 'pile of garbage' dossier to attack him

President Trump called the "dossier" which was compiled during the 2016 campaign and had a number of strong negative allegations against him a "pile of garbage" and he even went so far as to accuse the FBI of relying on it to go after his campaign. As President, he has access to information that regular citizens don't have, but it isn't clear if he's 'shooting from the hip' or actually knows something we don't know.

Trump went on Twitter, as usual, in response to a Washington Post article that was later discussed on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," one of President Trump's favorite TV shows along with "Hannity," "Justice With Judge Jeanine," "The Ingraham Angle," "Watters' World," and "The Five."

The President tweeted:

"WOW, @foxandfriends 'Dossier is bogus. Clinton Campaign, DNC funded Dossier. FBI CANNOT (after all of this time) VERIFY CLAIMS IN DOSSIER OF RUSSIA/TRUMP COLLUSION. FBI TAINTED.' And they used Crooked Hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the Trump Campaign!"

The Washington Times reported that the FBI has acknowledged its central charges are unsubstantiated [and plan to only pursue it for another three, possibly seven more years, depending upon circumstances]. The FBI has not denied the dossier being part of their investigation.

At this point in the investigation, Congressional Republicans have been probing into how much federal investigators have relied on the dossier, specifically when they used it to justify a surveillance warrant against Carter Page, a former Trump adviser.

Former British spy Christopher Steele compiled the dossier after being hired by Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm, where the wife of a top FBI official involved with the case, Bruce Ohr, worked at the time the dossier was being compiled. Fusion GPS was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

In a closed-door session last week with the House Intelligence Committee, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe stood by the dossier's credibility but when asked what in the document the bureau had corroborated, he could only cite the fact that Page had traveled to Moscow. The investigators said that McCabe couldn't even claim the FBI had verified the dossier's allegations about the specific meetings Page supposedly had in Moscow.

I traveled to Moscow on my way to India to visit my wife's family. I'm as guilty as Page of doing nothing wrong. I didn't even give a reset button to a Russian, nor tell a Russian leader that I'd have more 'flexibility' down the road.

I just wish Trump would learn better punctuation and form when tweeting.

Trump tweets attacking top FBI officials

President Trump is back on Twitter tweeting about FBI Deputy Director and soon to be retired Andrew McCabe and FBI General Counsel James Baker. Both McCabe and Baker have recently been the targets of Republican critics.

Trump tweeted:

"FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!"

The tweet was apparently referring to a story published by The Washington Post on Saturday saying that McCabe plans to retire once he's eligible for benefits in a few months.

In response to that tweet, conservative documentary filmmaker and writer, Dinesh D'Souza tweeted:

"TIMING IS EVERYTHING: fire his ass three days before he becomes eligible."

Sounds like a good plan.

Republicans don't believe McCabe is really a Republican based on his ties to the Democratic Party, the same party in which his wife ran for a Virginia Senate seat in 2015.

"How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin' James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife's campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?" Trump asked using punctuation from the Isle of Nowhere.

The President also commented on the news that Baker, the top lawyer for the FBI, is being reassigned to another role at the agency. He tweeted:

"Wow, "FBI lawyer James Baker reassigned," according to @FoxNews," 

The Washington Post reported that Baker was leaving as top lawyer and being reassigned at the bureau, [perhaps as special investigator into everything Trump does that can be used against him for impeachment purposes].

The Post said that Baker "had been caught up in a strange interagency dispute that led to a leak probe and attracted the attention of senior lawmakers," but that isn't why he's being reassigned, the newspaper said.

On Friday, Politico published a story saying House Republicans were looking into Baker's contacts with a leftist reporter from the progressive magazine Mother Jones, just weeks before the 2016 election.

Former FBI Director Long-tall James Comey who needs to constantly be in the limelight, defended the bureau's move of their top lawyer and suggested the move was political, much like his advice on not indicting Hillary Clinton for her illegal email server with top secret information on it.

"Sadly, we are now at a point in our political life when anyone can be attacked for partisan gain," Comey hypocritically tweeted Friday night.

He tweeted a rather long Bible passage but it had way too many characters for Twitter to post it so it was lost in the ether.

Anyway, it's Christmas Eve Day and I want to wish you all a wonderful Christmas of the genus Merry. Be safe and have a happy New Year.

Peace.

GOPers allege DOJ 'double standard' in Mueller probe

There are allegations by Republicans of anti-Trump bias within Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigative team and that a "double standard" exists at the Justice Department. 

GOP critics say that Hillary Clinton received "special" treatment when she was under so-called investigation over her illegal personal email server when she was the incompetent secretary of state. 

"Hillary Clinton gets special justice, and at the same time we're siccing people who hate the president . . . on him and that's deeply unfair," Rep. Matt Gaetz (R.-Fla.) told "Fox & Friends" Wednesday.

Gaetz and other House Republicans now want the FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate the FBI's treatment of Clinton and then-candidate Trump during the 2016 campaign, and compare them. 

Gaetz has specifically sought information on former FBI head Andrew McCabe who said in an email last fall that the Clinton case was referred to as "special." And what we have recently learned about Mueller's team of liberal Hillary donors and Trump-haters, only adds to these concerns.

It was just learned this past weekend that FBI official Peter Strzok (pronounced "Strzhzhokztlmfk") was removed from the Mueller probe over the summer after he allegedly sent anti-Trump texts to his mistress, an FBI lawyer.

This past Tuesday, Judicial Watch, a conservative advocacy group, released an email showing a Mueller deputy singing the praises of outgoing acting Attorney General Sally Yates after Trump fired her in January for refusing to defend his travel ban.

The Mueller deputy, Andrew Weissmann wrote in an email to Yates:

"I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much. All my deepest respects."

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called the Weissmann document an "astonishing and disturbing find."

President Trump called the Strzok views regarding his role in the Clinton email investigation as "tainted" and "very dishonest." It could have been worse--President Trump could have called it "very, very dishonest."

Strzok oversaw the FBI interviews with Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Hillary Clinton and her minions also lied to the FBI, but they are "special."

Strzok (aka "Petey Consonants") was also present during the July 2016 interview with wicked Hillary at the close of the email investigation, right before James Comey, the then-FBI showboat director, called her grossly negligent actions "extremely careless." Because of this wording, he recommended no criminal charges.

Gaetz called that a "double standard" and joined other House GOPers who also want answers to what role Strzok played in the controversial anti-Trump dossier. He called for cleaning out the "deep state" of people "who are so biased against Donald Trump."

Remember, both Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills didn't get charged with lying to the FBI when they told them they were unaware of Clinton's private server when, in fact, there were email exchanges between the three stooges.

Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr claimed Mueller's office removed Strzok from the Russia probe "immediately upon learning of the allegations" of the anti-Trump texts.

In a separate issue, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) has threatened a contempt resolution against leaders in the Justice Department and FBI if they continue to withhold key information related to the dossier and other issues. 

The DOJ is in the process of handing over Strzok's anti-Trump text messages. The agency also contacted the office of House Speaker Paul Ryan to establish a date for Strzok's appearance before the House Intelligence  Committee staff. There will also be two additional witnesses who had been sought after by the Nunes team.

A DOJ spokeswoman said Sunday that the agency will "continue to work with congressional committees to provide the information they request consistent with our national security responsibilities."

And if they do, chickens will darken the sky.

Bombshell: FBI report: far-left U.S. radicals colluding with ISIS

In his latest book, former editor in  chief of The New York Times Magazine and best-selling author Edward Klein revealed information from an FBI report about collusion between American anti-Trump scum- crumpets and foreign ISIS/al-Qaeda militants.

The book, titled "All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump," just released, reveals incredibly shocking ties between the unwashed and the unwashed. 

The report was delivered to Acting Director Andrew McCabe on July 11, 2017 with some names redacted. Klein discussed how the FBI followed a group of radicals (aka anarchists; aka Bernie suppawtahs) who traveled to Germany to join Antifaschistische Aktion, their German counterpart, to protest Trump's attendance at the G20 meeting.

Evidence found from a variety of intel sources showed that those Americans took part in the violence in Germany. 

"There is also evidence of meetings between these individuals and associates of ISIS . . . Making some sort of common cause with Americans who are determined to commit violence against the U.S. makes them potentially very useful to radical Islam," Klein wrote in his book, which is based on this report.

The FBI was particularly interested to a group of anarchists from Oakland, Klein mentioned. Sister city to Berkeley, Oakland in very close proximity to the campus of University of California at Berkeley where several violent protests had taken place.

In an article Klein wrote for the Daily Mail, he says "Ties between three key leaders of the Oakland group [names redacted] met in Hamburg with a leader of the AQAP [Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] and the AQIM [Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb], the report continued.

"The leader from AQAP is an Egyptian-born male [name redacted] whi is known to be in charge of finances and recruiting for the group. There is evidence from informants that he is helping the Oakland group acquire the weapons they are seeking, primarily bomb-making equipment and toxic chemicals and gasses."

Klein goes on to say "One of the men from Oakland traveled to Syria to meet with ISIS; the purpose was for training in tactics, but was thought to be primarily a bonding visit to discuss possible massive disruptive attacks in the U.S.

"While in Hamburg, several of the Oakland-based criminals were photographed throwing Molotov cocktails and wielding iron bars, which have been their weapons of choice, though they are almost certainly on the verge of upping the caliber of their weaponry for use in the U.S."

Klein then asserts that "Despite having their faces covered by masks, they were positively identified."

Not surprisingly, former FBI Director James Comey also "collected intelligence on the connections between Middle Eastern jihadis, European radicals and the American anarchists who are part of the anti-Trump 'resistance' movement," Klein writes, quoting an FBI source who has access to Comey's intelligence reports.

So they've learned that the American anarchists communicate with ISIS and other terrorist organizations online on various websites, where they can also get instructions on bomb-making.

Klein writes that the "Internet chatter between the Americans and the Islamists is astronomical."

"Any talk of a connection between radical Islam--a phrase the Obama people wouldn't even use--and American extremists was pretty much laughed off," he writes. Loretta Lynch [former Attorney General] would have blown a gasket if she heard that the FBI was surveilling so-called college political organizations.

"All that has changed under the Trump administration. Everyone's aware that the resistance movement, with its effort to get rid of Trump by any means necessary, has created fertile soil for ISIS and al-Qaeda to establish a beachhead in America."

And if that doesn't scare you, you aren't paying attention.

Judicial Watch seeks docs "unlawfully removed" by Comey

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group is calling for Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe to acquire and release federal records and memos it claims were "unlawfully" removed by former and fired FBI Director James Comey. The group is threatening the FBI with a lawsuit if they fail to comply.

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch wrote a letter to McCabe on President Trump's birthday (June 14) warning of a potential violation of the Federal Records Act, which is the basis for the federal government's policies regarding the "creating, maintaining, and disposing" of federal records. Perhaps this will be Mr. Fitton's birthday present to Mr. Trump.

After all, isn't the government supposed to work for us, and doesn't the public own unclassified government documents?

Fitton's letter began, "As you may be aware, the Federal Records Act imposes a direct responsibility on you to take steps to recover any records unlawfully removed from the FBI." 

He was referring to memos unlawfully removed by Comey that could contain contents regarding the Russian campaign meddling investigation in the 2016 US presidential election.

The letter went on: "Upon learning that records have been unlawfully removed from the FBI, you then are required to initiate action through the Attorney General for the recovery of records."

Fitton spoke to Fox News. "We're looking to get action on the records that Comey unlawfully took from the FBI, and we know initially there are memos, but depending on what the nature of the documents are, there could be liabilities for Mr. Comey," he said.

Since the "memos" were written by Comey himself, and because it's unclear how they would be viewed by the courts or the FBI, Fitton insists they are official records.

Comey had recently testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee that he gave one of his memos concerning a meeting he had with President Trump to a friend, Columbia University Law Professor Daniel Richman, who leaked the memo to the New York Times. 

"I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter--I thought that might prompt the appointment of special counsel," Comey admitted in his testimony.

Why isn't that a problem? Just like Hillary Clinton's bleaching her server, the intent appears to be the same in both cases, which is obstruction of justice.

In fact, Fitton said that Comey's removing of documents from the FBI is "the Hillary Clinton email scandal all over again."

According to former FBI official, John Iannarelli, who spoke to Fox News, "The things Comey allegedly took are not classified. The issue is not him taking documents, but the matter of how he released them--classified or not, there is a procedure in doing that which he did not follow."

However, Judicial Watch insists the memos and other related documents he may have were federal records which the Justice Department and the FBI are "obligated" to get back.

"The former FBI director isn't above the law," Fitton said, "and current leadership of the FBI should stop protecting him and take action."

Judicial Watch said in the letter that if McCabe and the FBI don't respond by June 26, they will file a lawsuit in federal district court "seeking that you be compelled to comply with the law."

If it isn't too much to ask.

The Comey memo, impeachment and Hillary's national security amnesia

(Photo: Fox News)

The plot thickens (or sickens) in the Trump/Comey story regarding the Flynn/Russia probe.

The White House pushed back on the report that former FBI Director James Comey, in a memo, claims that President Trump asked him to end the probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and his ties to Russia.

According to canary cage liner New York Times, Comey's memo was written soon after he met with Mr. Trump on Valentine's Day, the day following Flynn's resignation from the Trump administration. Of course, The Times didn't actually see the memo, but there's nothing new about that. Apparently a Comey associate read parts of it to a "reporter" over the phone.

The memo was characterized as the clearest evidence that President Trump tried to influence the Justice Department and FBI probe as to whether the Russians meddled in the 2016 presidential campaign and alleged links to Trump's associates.

And if Comey wrote a memo, it has to be fact. (He would never do anything like that to create ammunition, should he need it, to save his reputation, would he?)

"[T]he President has never asked Mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation, including any investigation involving General Flynn," an official said. "The President has the utmost respect for our law enforcement agencies, and all investigations. This is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the President and Mr. Comey."

According to The Times, Trump told Comey, "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go . . . He is a good guy I hope you can let this go."

The Times alleges that Comey wrote that Trump told him Flynn did nothing wrong but Comey didn't say he would limit the investigation--he merely replied, "I agree he is a good guy."

In an Associated Press report, they say Comey wrote a memo stating Trump asked him to actually shut down the investigation following the January 27th dinner between Trump and Comey (the dessert was delicious, I understand). It is not clear the AP and New York Times reports refer to the same memo or if Comey wrote memos after two separate meetings.

But acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe (whose wife received $700,000 in Democratic donations) also testified that there "has been no effort to impede our investigation to date." 

The FBI is mum about the memo.

The Justice Department also remained mum on The New York Times report, on the existence of the memo or even if there was any such conversation between Trump and Comey.

Democrats claim the President fired Comey out of frustration with the Russian investigation. "Enough is enough," Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said, stating an old, worn out tautology. "Congress really needs to get to the bottom of this," he added. 

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (Nostrils--NY) said on the Senate floor that he was "shaken" by the report, but not the one about Hillary Clinton's private server that contained classified information on it.

"On a day when we thought things couldn't get any worse, they have," Schumer whined. "Concerns about our national security, the rule of law, and the independence of our nation's highest law enforcement agencies are mounting . . . the country is being tested in unprecedented ways."

He obviously forgot about Hillary's national security breach.

Impeach Maxine Waters!

I just had to throw that one out there.
