James Comey Wanted The Never-Ending Russia Probe To Continue...
IWB ^ | Pamela Williams

Posted on 05/12/2017 10:36:19 AM PDT by davikkm

I have to start with new information that has been confirmed on the Podesta Lobbying Group. Of course, we know that the notorious Podesta Brothers, John and Tony Podesta, are the owners of this Group. However, evidently they have been protected while under the Obama Administration. Now that Obama is gone, the gloves are coming off.

One of Washington's most powerful lobbying firms did not disclose the wide extent of its lucrative political work for a Ukrainian group tied to both onetime Trump adviser Paul Manafort and to pro-Russian politicians, new records show.

The firm, the Podesta Group, said nothing in a 2012 lobbying report to Congress about at least 32 meetings, emails and other communications it had with the State Department, at a time when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was scrutinizing Ukraine's upcoming election, records show.

The new disclosures shed light on the web of contacts between Russian-leaning Ukrainians, Washington lobbyists and U.S. policymakers during the Obama administration. The Podesta Group filed new, detailed lobbying disclosures in April to augment lobbying reports from 2012 to 2014 that had given little detail.

The Podesta Group was representing a Ukrainian nonprofit, the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, as it sought to counter the Obama administration's critical stance toward Ukraine's pro-Russia government and Congress' growing annoyance with Ukraine's leaders.

rest:
In addition to its undisclosed contacts with the State Department, the Podesta Group did not disclose some contacts it had between 2012 and 2014 with Vice President Joe Biden’s office, the National Security Council and Congressional offices, the records show.

Now that we can accept this news as factual, we must also realize that while President Trump has been accused by many Government officials of collusion with Russia; in fact, there is hard evidence proving the Podestas and Hillary Clinton (Uranium One Deal - sell of land rich in uranium to Russia) have been in collusion with Russia.

We are now at a point with the FBI possible investigation of President Trump, at which fired FBI Director James Comey has not been able to openly admit to the validity of an investigation; thus, the American people do not even know the truth.

President Trump has stated more than once Comey told him he was not under FBI investigation. Is he telling the truth? Of course, he is! It is Comey who is being evasive of the truth! In fact, it is being said that Comey may have staged this whole thing inorder to more funds for the FBI.

Comey has led the American people down a path of mistrust and has created a lack of faith in our government. Further he has ruined an American institution, which was created to insure a fair Presidential election based on voter choice. Along with the Clinton crime family, who paid Comey $6 million dollars, he has destroyed the United States Judicial system. President Trump had every reason to fire him.

Senator Charles Grassley of the Judicial Committee interviewed Comey concerning a possible FBI investigation of President Trump. He simply wanted to know if it was authentic, and he asked Comey to please let the American people know the truth.

This is what Grassley had to say about the meeting:

On a different topic, Mr. Comey testified before the Judiciary Committee last week. Senator Blumenthal asked him whether the FBI had ruled anyone out as a potential target of the investigation of allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. In response, Mr. Comey stated: “Well, I haven’t said anything publicly about who we’ve opened investigations on. I briefed the Chair and Ranking on who those people are.”

Mr. Comey was asked if the FBI is investigating the President. He refused to answer. Mr. Comey said he didn’t want people to over-interpret his refusal, but that he wasn’t going to comment on anyone in particular. He thought it would put him on a slippery slope of having to answer who else is or is not under investigation. That could reveal who is being investigated.

I understand why he took that position, but I don’t agree – at least not when it comes to the President and senior government officials. The American people deserve to know if senior government officials are under active criminal or intelligence investigation.

Mr. Comey did brief Ranking Member Feinstein and me on who the targets of the various investigations are. It would not be appropriate for me to reveal those details before the professionals conducting the investigations are ready. So, I will not answer any questions about who are targets of the ongoing Russia investigations. But I will say this: Shortly after Director Comey briefed us, I tweeted that he should be transparent. I said he should tell the public what he told Senator Feinstein and me about whether the FBI is or is not investigating the President.

On Tuesday, the President’s letter said that Director Comey told him he was not under investigation. Senator Feinstein and I heard nothing that contradicted the President’s statement. Now Mr. Comey is no longer the FBI director. But the FBI should still follow my advice. It should confirm to the public whether it is or is not investigating the President. Because it has failed to make this clear, speculation has run rampant.

The intelligence community said that one of the Russians’ goals is to undermine the American public’s faith in our democratic institutions. Wild speculation that the FBI is targeting the President in a criminal or intelligence inquiry is not just irresponsible and unfounded. It provides aid and comfort to the Russians and their goal of undermining faith in our democracy.

In conclusion, President Trump has been targeted by the FBI in partnership with Hillary Clinton, and the Obama Administration. This must stop now! The decision by President Trump backed by the Justice Department to fire Comey must be honored and upheld. If Hillary Clinton had won the Presidential Election, Comey would have been able to follow plan. When Trump won, it threw Comey off, and he feared losing his job, and being discovered for the treason he had committed against the American people. The buck must stop with the American people, and we must try to preserve what is left of our Judicial system by supporting President Trump.

I know many of you invited the chaos that was James Comey into our political environment, for he was clearly in support of a Hillary Clinton Presidency. In fact, he gave up everything for her. Yet, do not forget the Clinton Foundation paid him $6 million dollars for his loyalty. He could not work for President Trump, as he was eternally bound to work for Hillary Clinton.

In the surprise environment of a Trump Presidency, I believe James Comey actually lost his mental grip of reality. He was buried so deeply in lies, he lost his script and could no longer decipher script from reality. That is why he continually misquoted and bungled all of his testimonies.

Now we are seeing that he also protected those who were factually involved in legitimate criminal ties with Russia. The Podesta Brothers are guilty, and I can say that as I have presented the facts of this guilt. But I have grown used to the facts do not seem to have a place in our current Judicial system. It seems to be a free for all now, which is called chaos.

I now realize that chaos has been the plan of George Soros, Islamic jihadists, and the far left Liberals in America. The plan is the ultimate plan of Satan, and the American people cannot even see it. We have allowed the lovers of chaos to destroy our law and order, and President Trump in his own way is trying to restore that order. No, he is not perfect, but we are at a crossroads of choice. We must choose to uphold the office of the Presidency, or we choose chaos…the master plan of Satan and his minions. Your choice must register now, and you must uphold it. Make it now for America.

There’s a Soros check with Comey’s name on it. In order for this country to ever hope to be b great again, so, so many people need to “not be here any more.”

So the Manafort fascist every liberal like to tie to Teump was in fact a Podesta lobbyist trying to influence Trump before he fired him?

Explains the paranoia of these criminals.

Did you read the letter Grassley sent him back on March 28

He asked some very pointed questions. If he slow walked the answers he’s guilty as H !!

I didn’t keep the link because it’s all over the net
