This is going to be big.

quote:

Among them is that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation outright hid critical information from a congressional investigation. In a Thursday press conference, Speaker Paul Ryan bluntly noted that Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes’s request for details on this secret source was “wholly appropriate,” “completely within the scope” of the committee’s long-running FBI investigation, and “something that probably should have been answered a while ago.” Translation: The department knew full well it should have turned this material over to congressional investigators last year, but instead deliberately concealed it. House investigators nonetheless sniffed out a name, and Mr. Nunes in recent weeks issued a letter and a subpoena demanding more details. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s response was to double down—accusing the House of “extortion” and delivering a speech in which he claimed that “declining to open the FBI’s files to review” is a constitutional “duty.” Justice asked the White House to back its stonewall. And it even began spinning that daddy of all superspook arguments—that revealing any detail about this particular asset could result in “loss of human lives.”

I wish Sarah would go on Rush. He'd do a better job of interviewing her than Hannity.

SO the FBI/DOJ can dream up some "national security" bullshite to covers their own asses?

banana republic


and not one GD bit of this would have ever come to light if the bitch had won.

Given all the obama scandals we do know about I wonder what they completely got away with during that 8 years.

Just remember, if/when a dem ever wins again this shite restarts and nobody will ever hear about it because presumably the morons know how to manage e-mails now.

Your quoted section doesn’t really say anything about this “spy”.

The Tree of Liberty better be sturdy because it’s going to be busy as hell in the next few years.

Sessions is going to have to decide soon if he’s going to fire Rosenstein or if he’ll go down with the whole bunch of traitors.

Who does the FBI work for?

- The people (who elected trump)?
- Congress?
- White House?

Or are they an independent group of unelected government employees who answer to no one?

There’s a redacted name in docs the DOJ has turned over to Congress that they refuse to disclose. The quoted material is narrating that.

The Nunes classified memo was concerning the spy. That is what they are referencing.

Wait a second, the fbi paid a mole to work on trump campaign?

Hold up. No they didn’t.

Supposedly they work for the executive branch.

In practice they seem to be taking a page from the Pakistani ISI and going into business for themselves.

I don't know. That's why I'm asking for the source without a paywall.

Christ Alive, all of this shite happens so fast and often without any substantial corroboration that I don't know my arse from my elbow half of the time.
