It Took a Freshman GOP Congresswoman To Pull The Mask From FBI Director Comey…

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | March 20, 2017 | Sundance

[bobsunshine]

Representative Elise M. Stefanik is a young, freshman republican congresswoman from the Albany New York area. And using a probative questioning timeline, she single-handily pulled the mask from FBI Director James Comey, yet no-one seemed to notice.

Obviously Ms. Stefanik has not been in the swamp long enough to lose her common sense.

In the segment of the questioning below Rep. Stefanik begins by asking director Comey what are the typical protocols, broad standards and procedures for notifying the Director of National Intelligence, the White House and senior congressional leadership (aka the intelligence Gang of Eight), when the FBI has opened a counter-intelligence investigation.

The parseltongue response from Comey is a generalized reply (with uncomfortable body language) that notification of counter-intel investigations are discussed with the White House, and other pertinent officials, on a calendar basis, ie. “quarterly”.

With the statement that such counter-intel notifications happen “generally quarterly”, and against the backdrop that Comey stated in July of 2016 a counter-intel investigation began, Stefanik asks:

…”when did you notify the White House, the DNI and congressional leadership”?

DEFIANT F.B.I. CHIEF REMOVED FROM JOB BY THE PRESIDENT ...

www.nytimes.com/1993/.../defiant-fbi-chief-removed-from-job-by-the-president.html

Jul 20, 1993 - WASHINGTON, July 19— President Clinton today dismissed William S. Sessions, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

[Hostage]

Yes, she’s a smart one. And she is young so she has enough time to learn how to handle the dirty poker playing of politics. And she seems to me smart enough to learn that too.

[Political Junkie Too]

Only one director of the FBI has been fired.

Bill Clinton fired William Sessions in 1993 (six years into his term), when Sessions refused to resign over ethics allegations.

[Political Junkie Too]

William Sessions.

I’ve never interpreted the Gowdy look as to stop her but to channel her thoughts as where she was going. (More of an a-ha moment for him. )
If he wanted to stop her it was only to wait to go in for the kill at a later time when the rest of the pack had shown up for an easier kill

[Whenifhow]

Yes, the FBI can be fired but there are things that are playing in the background out of view here......

It looks bad for a President to fire an FBI Director who states the President’s team is under investigation.

So maybe it was said to delay his firing by President Trump.

****
Is it possible for Sessions to re-assign McCabe? He’s helping to cover up / stall/ ignore the facts.

That explains it better than my thoughts - I thought he was coaching her and suddenly she framed the question better than what he had told her. (as you said - the a-ha moment).

Another thought How would Comey have answered if he hadn’t briefed the WH but if it had been the WH who came to him asking for his services in survelancing Trump campaign?
Maybe he didn’t need to inform the WH as they were his original source

[Hostage]

I’m not sure about Sessions removing him but certainly, the President can do it.

But I think what’s at play here is a much larger internal investigation of Comey, McCabe and the widespread Muslim Spy Ring.

The President is perhaps leaving them in place while he gets the goods on all of them meaning the whole group and their associates beyond US Borders.

Watching the video of Comey yesterday in the hearing, appeared to me he was shaken, nervous. Heck, he was nervous as he tried to placate the Committee and he was quick to say things how his FBI was doing this and that to be ‘better’. While he was talking, his voice quivered and his body flinched. He was clearly uncomfortable.

[generally]

Great question! GREAT! Like many great questions, it gets the wheels turning and inspires more ideas.

I might start by first asking “Has the FBI under your leadership ever found evidence of criminal wrongdoing by a Senator or Congressperson?”

If the answer is yes, I’d ask who. If the answer is no, I would laugh in his face and ask him if he really expects me to believe that, and if he thinks he should continue to hold his job seeing as how he is entirely incompetent.

With a yes answer, I’d proceed along your line of questioning. I would ask EXACTLY what was done with that information, how was it used, why was there no prosecution, was the target aware that he was being investigated, was the target aware of any part of what was found out about him, etc.

"...the real collision is between this willfully blind intelligence committee, Comey and the fallen Obama regime."

~~~~~~~

"collision" -- or -- "collusion"?

Good point - watching the video again.

He never identifies a timeline of informing the WH, but does reveal the DOJ has known all along.

[Leep]

More times than not, whoever it is, act like they want to get to the bottom of the matter. But in reality they do not.
Everyone CYA.
Their final conclusion: Will have to do a better job of not letting those pesky Russians hack our elections.
Even though they never really proved it was Russians and not.
At least it wasn’t team obama and high ranking FBI and NSA peoples.

....what’s at play here is a much larger internal investigation of Comey, McCabe and the widespread Muslim Spy Ring working for Democrats on Capitol Hill......

Plausible....very plausible for one specific reason. The Muslim gang worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee-----the committee oversees all or part of executive branch departments and agencies that impact Americans' safety and security---including the FBI.

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committe oversee these agencies:

• Office of the Director of National Intelligence

• Central Intelligence Agency

• Defense Intelligence Agency

• Department of Defense

• Department of Energy

• Department of Homeland Security

• Department of Justice

• Department of State

• Department of Treasury

• Drug Enforcement Administration

• Federal Bureau of Investigation

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

• National Reconnaissance Office

• National Security Agency

• Office of Naval Intelligence

• Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency

• United States Army Intelligence and Security Command

• United States Coast Guard Intelligence

• Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

While Comey couldn't recall the exact number of FBI officers who had access to Flynn's "unmasked" name, which itself is a telling admission of an insincere effort to investigate, he did allow that the number was 15-20 or so. Of course, that number would include himself and probably his #2, Andrew McCabe, the political hack who supervised the lightning fast review of all those Hillary State Dept. e-mails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop.

Given that many of the leak suspects are at the highest levels of the FBI, the FBI has an inherent conflict of interest and should not be the investigatory agency of the Flynn leak and the other major leaks.

The decision to take the away the investigation from the FBI can only be made by AG Sessions, who probably will consider this matter too close to Russia to decide the matter. That leaves the decision currently to Obama-appointee Dana Boente.

Boente is only there because Grassley and McConnell won't let Sessions' handpicked #2, Rod Rosensteon, have a hearing and confirmation vote.

So that leaves Obama appointees Comey, NSA Director Mike Rogers and Dana Boente in effective control of the leaking case. With Andrew McCabe free to do what he does best.

[Ciaphas Cain]

she’s for climate change regulation,

That's a solid red X against her credentials as a conservative.

[Bob434]

well don’t quote me on it, I thought i remembered her being for climate change regulation- during the primaries- there was something else that she was opposed to trump on- I dont’ recall what it was now-
