President Trump drops another Mother Of All Bombs, this time in a twitter version directly targeted at a corrupted and politicized James Comey Dept. of Justice.
And what’s more stunning in the aftershock is the media’s incapacity to take the new Trump/Comey timeline information and add it to the existing Sally Yates timeline.
Then again, to do so would be to expose another level of FBI/DOJ politicization that remains hidden from public consumption. Another political operative, Asst. Director of Counter Intelligence, Bill Priestap, who accompanied acting AG Sally Yates to the meeting with White House Counsel Don McGahn, is a Hillary Clinton campaign donor.

Ping...
Wow!
Comey the Leaker, and trying to over throw our Government all set up for Hillary...
To bad, now they hang...
I read the article, but am having a hard time connecting all the dots. Could you give a simple summary? Signed, Confused in Indiana.
The MSM is mortified! Notice at today’s presser, all the BS they were saying prior to
McCabe’s testimony all disappeared from their talking points. They were all shot down by McCabe. Sean was fantastic to point out Chuck Grassley and Diane Feinstein saying that it was all a hoax. The press wants to write fabricated stories in the worst way. They want to say that Comey actually told the President he was within a month to having the evidence to have him arrested (as crazy as that sounds these POS would write it). How the hell can they say anything that could be rebuked by the “tapes”.
Taken by a Treeper, best explanation I know of...
Perhaps Trump wanted to know if he was under investigation so that he COULD fire Comey?
See site for timeline...

Now, accepting the politicization of the entire Russian Conspiracy Narrative that was leading the headlines for the past two months prior to this dinner; and knowing moments earlier your Chief White House counsel informs you that two political operatives (Yates and Priestap) within the DOJ were providing classified intelligence reports about General Flynn; and knowing the past two months were fraught with leaks from intelligence reports identical to those discussed; wouldn’t you perhaps think that any action you take could be utilized to add fuel to this Russian narrative? And/Or be used by these same leak facilitators to make something seem like something it is not?
Think about it.
If you were President under those circumstances, wouldn’t you ask FBI Director James Comey what the deal was with these investigations, and whether or not you were under investigation BEFORE you took action to retain or fire Mike Flynn?
Given the circumstances it could appear, and most definitely should be considered, that the President was being ‘set-up’ to impede an FBI investigation by taking action against Flynn.
If Trump took action – What mechanism was in place for the President to protect himself from accusations of impropriety and impeding an investigation?
Thanks! So because there might be tapes of his conversations with Trump, Comey now is afraid to say anything that night contradict himself.
What is the trap Yates wa setting?
Read the article it tells you that...
I think the FBI should have to answer if a person or entity is under investigation if asked. Look what happens when the IRS can keep quite.Our government could be dangerous and probably is in the hands of Democrats.
I must be old and slow. I have read it twice. Sigh.
Sundance is amazing. Great article.
Please forgive my ignorance, but what exactly has Comey leaked?
I don’t get it ...why would Comey a few weeks before the election come after Hitlery when wiener was caught? Why did he throw out red meat to the public if he wanted her to be prez? Why didn’t he wait until after the election to make the wiener puter info announcement? What am I missing here in this strange tangled web?
Thx for the clift notes
You posted the picture of Jennifer Millstone, not Sabina Menshel.
The timeline lays out the events leading up to when Trump asks if he was under investigation.
One point on the background of players - McCabe has an accomplice to help cover-up/ create the trap. It is Bill Priestap, Asst. Director of Counter Intelligence. All three Comey, McCabe and Priestap did not tell Congress they started the Russia investigation in July 2016, which meant that they were working without congressional oversight.
Yates goes to white house to meet with counsel (McGahn) snitch on Flynn, and while there makes the case that this info is to help them make a decision on whether to take action about Flynn.
Then...quote:
McGahn expressed his concern that taking action might interfere with the FBI investigation of Flynn, and Yates said it wouldn’t. “It wouldn’t really be fair of us to tell you this and then expect you to sit on your hands,” Yates had told McGahn.
McGahn asked if he could look at the underlying evidence of Flynn’s conduct, and she said they would work with the FBI over the weekend and “get back with him on Monday morning.”
That Saturday night is when Trump asks Comey about an investigation into him.

more at link including a screen grab of an article;
Quote:
SEE? In the first paragraph of the first article to draw attention to the timeline the accusation is made that President Trump was “interfering with an ongoing FBI investigation”.
That is exactly the trap that Director Comey, Acting AG Yates and Asst. Director of DOJ Counter Intel Priestap were laying out.
Now look at this tweet again:
Got it!
I think you are exactly right. At the time of the firing I noted that the timing probably wasn't coincidental. It seemed that President Trump waited until all of these people -- Comey, the NSA, the CIA, and even Sen. Diane Feinstein -- came out and publicly stated that there was no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians in 2016. THEN he dropped the hammer on Comey.
