This article on Comey/Mueller is absolutely worth your time and it basically shows the depths of how bad Donnie hosed up and doesn't know it yet.

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/05/18/james-comey-trump-special-prosecutor-robert-mueller-fbi-215154

quote:

Yet even amid the stress of that time, Comey didn’t hesitate to force the issue of STELLAR WIND, standing up to the vice president. During one White House meeting, Comey said he couldn’t find a legal basis for the program.

“Others see it differently,” a scowling Cheney replied.

“The analysis is flawed—in fact, fatally flawed. No lawyer reading that could reasonably rely on it,” Comey said, his hand sweeping across the table dismissively.

Cheney’s counsel, the famously aggressive David Addington, standing in the back of the room, spoke up: “Well, I’m a lawyer,” he snapped, “and I did.”

Comey shot back, “No good lawyer.”

The room went silent.

The result of this whole fiasco was Mueller threatening to resign, shortly followed by Comey's Greatest Congressional Testimony Ever Told
https://youtu.be/hxHjWYA50Ds

Mueller now has subpoena power and Comey is putting his story together and itching to testify. Comey has a paper trail and Mueller is a 72 year old former FBI boss. There's a storm coming and it will be on live TV.

:stare: Jesus, Comey and Ashcroft freaking stood their ground. I gotta say, I got a lot more respect for him now.

Gonzalez try to do a long run around Comey as acting attorney general to get a possible unconstitutional program pushed through, and Ashcroft on his hospital bed gave them the finger and then they thumbed their nose at Comey as acting attorney general. Then Card tries to drag him over the coals for refusing to certify the program and he stands his ground and tells Card that he won't talk to him without a witness from the DOJ, specifically the Solicitor General.

It's why, even at the height of the Clinton investigation bullshit, I always gave Comey the benefit of the doubt. He may have made some absolutely bone-headed decisions, but at the end if the day he's a man of integrity and courage, which to me counts for a hell of a lot-especially in modern Washington.

Yes loving Youtube won't let me forget that a bunch of hippies and buen outs from California and ... minorities from New York want Ossof to win. Ossof needs to stop blowing up my mail box and phone and start putting ad's on Youtube.

edit:

The pro-republican ad's on youtube is basically "Karen Handle she's just like me" *old suburban white people*, the anti-ossof ad's are "Ossof isn't like you!" *young people/minorities/cities*

New Republic article on three guys who planned to slaughter a apartment building full of refugees and immigrants:

https://newrepublic.com/article/142346/kansas-meatpacking-somali-muslim-refugee-murder-plot-trump-supporters

quote:

Two days later, Stein met again with the undercover agent, this time at a McDonald’s in Dodge City. He loaded 300 pounds of ammonium nitrate into the agent’s car, then went inside for breakfast. The FBI arrested him, and picked up Gavin Wright outside G&G Homes. A search of a storage locker Wright had rented turned up bomb-making materials and a safe full of semiautomatic rifles and handguns. When an agent asked if Stein had any misgivings about killing children, he expressed no remorse. Most of his targets, he insisted, were “fighting age.”

This tweet legitimate enough for here instead of the other thread:

https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/865285997176729601


Comey's firing is 100% part of the investigation, as well according to Graham. So basically anyone up and down the chain that could be hit on obstruction charges potentially faces them now.

Rosenstein also knew that Comey was going to be fired before he wrote his memo which is why he was so shocked to have the finger pointed solely at him at first. Everyone is hosed and it's amazing.


This is also probably why Flynn hasn't responded to the senate subpoena because all his poo poo has already been scooped up via the grand jury.


Comey was also investigating FBI leaks to Rudy as well, because gently caress it why not?

I'm not sure if this is about the confirmation that Rosenstein knew about the Comey firing before he wrote the memo or if there's something else coming. It's not the DANGER ZONE of news, 5pm-6pm.

He did not deviate whatsoever from his prepared speech and just read from a piece of paper. I don't know if he'll take questions. Trump bitched a lot about MS-13 and said they've taken over entire cities.
