FBI went after Trump looking for a crime

The New York Times on Friday published an incredible story titled: "F.B.I. Opened Inquiry into Whether Trump was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia." If you don't think this is disgusting and shows just how crazy the Washington swamp has become, you don't know Jack. It might even be illegal.

The article began:

WASHINGTON — In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.

So this is an FBI going after a person to find a crime. Usually it's the other way around--a crime had been committed and the FBI does their "I thing," they investigate.

Is it perhaps due to Trump's firing the weasel who led the agency investigating him?

The Times continued:

The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.

The investigation the F.B.I. opened into Mr. Trump also had a criminal aspect, which has long been publicly known: whether his firing of Mr. Comey constituted obstruction of justice.

Of course it isn't obstruction--the president can fire whoever he chooses to fire that he had appointed. If you pay attention to the way the Gray Rag Lady words it, you can see how bias they are against Trump.

Newt Gingrich believes the FBI probe was led by anti-Trump fanatics who went against the Constitution, writing: 

A group of bureaucrats – elected by no one – sat in a room and decided they would investigate the new president of the United States for possible treason. Let me repeat: treason. This is, after all, the implication of this investigation.

This group of bureaucrats reports to no one in elected authority. In a Justice Department where employees gave 97 percent of their presidential campaign contributions to Hillary Clinton, the hostility toward – and fear of – newly elected President Trump was deep.

His point is that all involved in this covert operation were promoted under the Obama administration and were ready to overturn the "verdict of the American people in the 2016 election." And the same agency minimized the Clinton email and Internet scandals and the FACT that Bill Clinton collected money from Russians overseas while Hillary was secretary of state, in an incredible double-standard.

Thus, while there was clear evidence that Hillary violated the Espionage Act with her private bathroom server, they investigated Trump to look for evidence.

And since they decided to look for evidence against Trump and could not share it with him as he was the target, the person they should have gone to would have been Mike Pence, the Vice President, to brief him. Pence is as clean as the driven snow and has a history behind him to show that, so there is no reason not to have taken that step. Except this sounds like it was all political.

This is exactly what Trump talks about when he speaks of the swamp.


It's a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.
