Comey friend: FBI Director Wray 'should be careful' about criticizing 'prior leadership'
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/06/20 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 05/06/2020 12:22:39 AM PDT by Libloather

A "good friend" of former FBI Director James Comey said the bureau's current chief "should be careful" about criticizing its old leadership.

Benjamin Wittes, who is the editor-in-chief of Lawfare, reacted late Tuesday to an FBI statement defending Director Christopher Wray as he faces pressure from Republicans to answer for what they view as a lack of transparency about the Russia investigation.

"Chris Wray should be careful before issuing statements like this about 'prior leadership' to check the dates on the FISA applications that the IG examined in his most recent interim report," Wittes tweeted.

Wittes was referring to recent revelations about problems with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act process, which stretched from Comey's tenure ending in May 2017, through to the directorship of his successor, Wray.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report late last year criticizing the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 “significant errors and omissions” related to the FISA warrants against Trump campaign associate Carter Page in 2016 and 2017, and for the bureau's reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s unverified dossier.

NO justice, NO United States of America. With liberty and justice for all? Uh...ok.

In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers . . . we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

1) Why is what “a friend,” of anyone, says about something they are not personally involved news?

2) How did we fall to the point a “conversation” between 2 individuals, again not personally involved in an event, rate a “story” in national news media?

...a lack of transparency about the Russia investigation...

There is a lack of indictments against Obama administration criminals.

WRAY is responsible for having ANDREW WEISSMANN go after Arthur Anderson and put TENS of THOUSANDS of people out of jobs!!! The verdict was reversed, but all the damage was done!

WRAY, WEISSMANN, COMEY, McCAbe, and MANY MANY MORE MUST be INDICTED!

I completely agree (especially that evil Weissmann, who put innocent Merrill Lynch executives into solitary, ruined lives, and was the direct cause of the suicide of an innocent Enron executive), but I don't think it will happen. The DOJ does not go after their own, because that's The Club.

Wray must have some secrets from his past that he doesn’t want exposed. This is one of the Deep State’s “Six ways to Sunday” of warning him. That also explains his attempting to keep the past secrets about others hidden.

Barr lied, and said Epstein committed "suicide", and accepted as "fact" that the three cameras watching Epstein's cell all failed "simultaneously".

'Nothing' to indicate Epstein death was not a suicide: Attorney General William Barr

Don't expect anything from Barr.

He knows that if all of the malfeasance, treason, and illegality was exposed, it would bring down entire tent of the Dept of "Justice" and the FBI, and he will never, ever permit that to happen.

https://alphahistory.com/nazigermany/nazi-law-and-order/
The notorious Nazi judge ‘Raving’ Roland Freisler. Like other fascist states, Nazi Germany was obsessed with upholding order. Nazi law and order was predicated on the idea that individuals should be subordinate to the state, law-abiding and obedient. Everyone was to be aware of their place in German society and refrain from causing trouble.
