NYT Reveals FBI Retaliated Against Trump For Comey Firing
https://thefederalist.com/2019/01/14/nyt...ey-firing/

Quote:In a Friday night news dump, the New York Times revealed the FBI’s surprisingly flimsy justification for launching a retaliatory investigation into President Donald Trump, their chief adversary during their recent troubled era.

Admitting there is no actual evidence for their probe into whether Trump “worked for the Russians,” FBI officials instead cited their foreign policy differences with him, his lawful firing of bungling FBI Director James Comey, and alarm that he accurately revealed to the American public that he was told he wasn’t under investigation by the FBI, when they preferred to hide that fact.


The news was treated as a bombshell, and it was, but not for the reasons many thought. It wasn’t news that the FBI had launched the investigation. Just last month, CNN reported that top FBI officials opened an investigation into Trump after the lawful firing of Comey because Trump “needed to be reined in,” a shocking admission of abuse of power by our nation’s top law enforcement agency.

The Washington Post reported Mueller was looking into whether Trump obstructed the Russia investigation by insisting he was innocent of the outlandish charges selectively leaked by government officials to compliant media. Perhaps because such an obstruction investigation was immediately condemned as scandalous political overreach, that aspect was downplayed while Mueller engaged in a limitless “Russia” probe that has rung up countless Trump affiliates for process crimes unrelated to treasonous collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 election, and spun off various investigations having nothing to do with Russia in any way.

The latest Times report does provide more detail than these earlier reports, however, and none of it makes the FBI look good. In fact, it provides evidence of a usurpation of constitutional authority to determine foreign policy that belongs not with a politically unaccountable FBI but with the citizens’ elected president.

Sounds like Fake News York Times is trying to frame the news that is about to come out from the IG.

Every one of those people, including Rosenstein, need to be locked up with the key thrown away. This is, or at least verges, on sedition.

^^^^^THIS^^^^

That’s why the House Democrats are so desperate for any grounds to impeach. They know this report is coming (as well as other). When all the reports are in, we will see that it was the Obama Administration officials that over reached, abused power, violated law, and acted like petty banana republic dictators who thought they would never be help accountable.

Article maybe fits a little better in one of those where our resident leftists are calling the President stupid, but fits here with the FBI as well.

"There is a caricature of certain successful people as being stupid. I never understood this but it is something that has prevailed in our culture.

It is an odd insult often thrown by the less successful at the more successful. If these successful people were really so stupid, why did they accomplish so much?..."

Article goes on to talk about the ridiculous claims of Ford, Reagan, W., Quayle and Trump being stupid. Doesn't even mention the even more absurd claim about HW being a wimp (youngest aviator in WWII).
