Seems just as incriminating to me. The FBI can’t play Federal Keystone Kop forever.

I wonder if she would sign a blank check for me? I promise not to tell her what I want the money for.

Correction on that:

“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”

This lawyer appears to have modified Pelosi’s logic:

“I had to sign it so that the others could look and find something, then I might find out later if they found anything”

No matter. 10 of the 11 Judges currently on the court were Obammy appointees, altho Chief Justice Roberts has nominated most of those who sit , Obammy was just the rubber stamp on the nomination.

an interesting chart , a flurry of activity (Trump’d up numbers?), note 1016 and 2017 and the number of requests denied
‘FISA warrant requests for electronic surveillance’

... and yet she is still employed by the Trump FBI as head of the bureau’s National Security and Cyber Law Branch and principal deputy general counsel.

It doesn't matter what it said.

All that mattered was she got the memo that this was going to be used to go after Trump and that was enough.

Unexpectedly! We have really bad leadership in this country at this point in time.

It is time to eject them from their positions.

criminal incompetence requires prosecution the same way criminal corruption does.

She gave her honest confession under pretext of ignorance.

You're spot on and nicely stated.

She is just one of a long line of insurance policies for the higher-ups in this whole fiasco. I am sure she was specifically told by the higher-ups that they had reviewed this doc and it HAS to go forward, so sign it and send it on. If it all blows(as it did), she is one of their flunkies that get thrown under the bus.

Don’t know but she looks like an “X Files” Gillian Anderson wannabee and charter member of the LGBTQWERTY Orange Man Bad Society.

The Plan is working. Give them 2 years to make excuses. Then revisit their own statements and let the DS walk scott free. Somebody needs to go to Prison. just to make an example. trump is so far making the opposite case. Let them all walk free.

Yeah I don’t believe she didn’t read it for a second. That had to be the most interesting document to cross her desk in a long long time, and government workers do nothing but cover their own behinds. The statement that she signed off on something of this magnitude without understanding what it was is ludicrous and perjurious.

"corruption felony, or merely incompetence?"

It matters not. Both are felonies. She signed it. If you sign a bad check, it's a felony, whether you knew, or you should have known it was bad.
