Hillary Clinton is Evil! (REMIX)

RELEEEEEEEASE THE MEMO!!!! YAY!!!

Agreed, release all the memos!

Seth Abramson:


Here's what I don't get: how did the Inspector General report lead to McCabe facing demotion but *not* to any consequences for the FBI illegally leaking to Rudy Giuliani in October '16—an effort to pressure McCabe and Comey into re-opening the Clinton probe under false pretenses?

2/ And how did the Inspector General report not lead to *any* consequences for agents in "Trumplandia" (the New York office of the FBI) who slow-walked Comey's early-October 2016 order to confirm or deny whether the Clinton emails on Weiner's PC were new? That swung the election.

3/ I think what we're getting is a selective reading of the Inspector General report—one that leads to quick consequences for supposed anti-Trump elements in the FBI but no public consequences for the confirmed, larger, more influential, more organized militant pro-Trump faction.

The Senate Intelligence Committee received a number of “extraordinarily important new documents” late last year that could further expand the investigation into possible collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia and keep the probe going for much longer, according to its ranking Democrat.

Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.), the committee’s vice chairman, said the panel had obtained “new information that raises more questions” and claimed that “Trump zealots” and the president were conducting a “coordinated” effort to delegitimize the many probes involving the commander in chief, according to an interview with Politico released Monday morning.

“We’ve had new information that raises more questions,” Warner said.

The second-term senator and former technology entrepreneur did not elaborate on what the committee has learned or what the new documents might explain, but he did back up special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

Mueller’s office has come under attack from many sides, and the president even considered firing him in June but did not go through with it after White House counsel Don McGahn threatened to resign, The New York Times reported last week.

“Mueller is getting closer and closer to the truth,” Warner told Politico, adding, “Closer and closer to the truth is getting closer and closer to the president.”

Another offensive against the investigations of Trump’s former campaign involve Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and his memo that details alleged bias by the FBI and Department of Justice against Trump.

The memo reportedly contains some classified materials. It details the reasons why the FBI started its investigation into Trump and Russia, and the president wants it released to the public, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

Ultimately, Congress will decide if the memo is released. Trump told White House chief of staff John Kelly of his desire to have it made public and that desire was relayed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Warner dismissed Nunes’s memo, saying it is based on “fabrications” and “connecting dots that don’t connect,” according to Politico.

Seth Abramson:

All indications are that Trump—via agents in Congress—has forced the retirement of a key witness against him in an Obstruction case that could lead to impeachment. Worse, it's part of a coordinated, illegal effort to intimidate, punish, and discredit adverse witnesses.

1/ I first wrote about this effort a week ago:

2/ Then, a few days ago, Foreign Policy confirmed a wider, Trump-driven effort to illegally intimidate, punish, and discredit a small subset of FBI witnesses against Trump:

http://foreignpolicy.com/2018/01/26/trump-launched-campaign-to-discredit-potential-fbi-witnesses/?utm_content=buffer989ee&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

3/ Now, today, Trump has won his first major victory in his ongoing and illegal campaign to intimidate, punish, and discredit witnesses against him in a pending criminal investigation and possible impeachment inquiry:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/29/politics/andrew-mccabe-fbi/index.html

4/ It's already been established that Nunes—the instrument of Trump's illegal campaign to destroy witnesses against him in a pending criminal investigation—is a Trump agent who coordinates his maneuvers with the White House generally and Trump specifically:

http://www.fresnobee.com/opinion/editorials/article196633904.html

5/ Today's forcing out of McCabe should be seen as an act of criminal obstruction—the product of a carefully coordinated conspiracy to obstruct justice that includes Devin Nunes and Donald Trump—every bit as significant as the ongoing plot to fire Rod Rosenstein and Bob Mueller.

6/ People forget that Rod Rosenstein is a key witness in the Obstruction case against Trump—just as McCabe is. So the secret Trump- and Nunes-led effort to fire Rosenstein via the so-called "Nunes Memo" is part and parcel of the effort to intimidate, punish, and discredit McCabe.

7/ This type of conduct caused Nixon to resign and would've gotten him impeached had he not resigned. Trump has identified witnesses against him in an Obstruction investigation that could get him impeached—Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, others—and is executing a plan to destroy them.

8/ Trump allies have pushed for Comey to be charged with crimes; pushed McCabe out at the FBI; pushed through the criminal referral of a Comey sources (Steele); are now pushing for Rosenstein's firing; and have worked for months to discredit Sessions—another Obstruction witness.

9/ Criminal conspiracies are banal, not exciting. What America is seeing now is a run-of-the-mill criminal conspiracy to intimidate, punish, and discredit key witnesses in a federal investigation into High Crimes that could impeach a president and—perhaps, eventually—convict him.

10/ This criminal conspiracy is ongoing and won't end anytime soon. Its next target is the Acting Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein. Then the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. And the effort against Comey and Baker is ongoing. All key witnesses. Congress must act to stop this. /end

PS/ Reports indicate McCabe planned to retire in March and had *no* plans to step back from the FBI early. This news is apparently a shock to those in the Bureau, and looks to be directly related to Trump allies' threats to release the so-called "Nunes Memo" to discredit the FBI.

PS2/ McCabe *can* still testify against Trump, and *will* should Trump face impeachment. Trump's plan is to tarnish McCabe's value as a witness by being able to say he left the FBI due to pro-Clinton, anti-Trump bias. Wray was—until today—blocking that. Then something happened.

PS3/ McCabe is still retiring in March; he has enough accumulated leave that he can resign his position now and—per CNN—still retire with a full pension. But Trump and his allies will now be able to claim—in future proceedings—that McCabe had to leave early due to "controversy."

PS4/ There can be no doubt that, if not for the pressure from Trump (tweets attacking him, a promise to release the Nunes Memo even without DOJ approval or oversight) McCabe would *not* be resigning his position—as he'd told his subordinates he'd be staying on through March 2018.

PS5/ The NEW YORK TIMES is now confirming that, with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe out of the way, the next Obstruction witness that Trump and his stooges in Congress plan to terrorize and discredit is Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/28/us/politics/rod-rosenstein-carter-page-secret-memo.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

Now he's refusing to enact sanctions against Russia that are required by law. LOL.

Trump supporters- The government is corrupt and only serves their own interests!!!


Also Trump supporters- Trump can fire anyone investigating him to protect himself. And there’s nothing suspicious about it.
