"Did you know the DOJ has been investigating the FBI for 11 months…. wait, what?"

Interesting tweets from Comey, Yates and Holder suddenly appear...

Until I see otherwise the OIG at DOJ is just another swamp creature to me. Michael Horowitz was confirmed during the Obama administration which is definitely a red flag. I can’t seem to get much info on Horowitz other than he he was a member at the Ethical Resource Center and Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics. Who is this guy? Another Comey or Mueller? If the OIG is another swamp rat his investigations will be nothing more than whitewash covers for the deep state.

“When the FBI first learned of the allegations, the employees involved were immediately reassigned, consistent with practices involving employee matters.”

This, along with Nunes having to threaten contempt charges, it is the FBI that has been obstructing justice all along.

Sundance is too kind on Sessions. Eleven months to review internal e-mails on this nest of subverters/conspirators. What has the FBI done with Strzok, they reassigned him to HR where his colluding paramour works. Wray does not have the stature, strength or experience to straighten out the Bureau. Furthermore, many in the nest will be relatively low level conspirators, doing the bidding of much higher ups. I'm waiting to hear Sessions report he is conducting grand juries on these subverters and the conspirators who have defrauded taxpayers (government) out of their just and faithful services. 18 U.S.C 115 and 371.

The DOJ can start by interrogating every Muslim FBI agent in the agency, many of who report to the liberal fascist ready room run by Valerie Jarret at the Obama Hut , at 2446 Belmont Rd NW Washington DC.

Of course , at FBI Human Resources Strzok can work at recruiting ONLY those who share his “Hate Trump” liberal fascist political ideology, so the new Stasi FBI SS ( the Obama Staatssicherheitsdienst, SSD)can expand and take over to rule US politics, just like other fascist nations have done in the history of totalitarian states.

Alinsky ideology never wastes a resource such as Strzok. In fact he should be fired and stripped of his pension.We do not need to keep such an treasonous bastid around at all.AND we need to roll up his entore sub rosa liberal fascist net, which reports to the Obama Hut at Valerie Jarret’s ready room located at 2446 Belmont Rd NW Washington DC.

MEET THE MUSLIM CONGRESSMAN W/ A STRANGLEHOLD ON AMERICA'S SAFETY AND SECURITY----how did Andre Carson get on several major Congressional intel committees?

Rep Andre Carson (Dem-Indiana) is a member of (A) the House Intelligence and (B) House Homeland Security Committees. Carson is also ranking member of the (C) House intelligence subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees the (D) Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The subcommittee oversight extends to the (E) National Counterterrorism Center and (F) information-sharing programs.

Rep Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat----is the second Muslim elected to Congress-----and the first Muslim on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. (The first elected Muslim---Cong Keith Ellison---is co-chair of the DNC.) ==============================================

(hat tip niccolo) To get these important intel committee appointments, Democrat Cong Andre Carson has to be bringing in serious money for Democrats-----

These high-level intel committee appointments are "positions for sale." Every appointment has a dollar amount attached to it that elected Democrat members desiring the positions are required to raise by the DNC.

===============================================

CONTACT CONGRESS: Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

TALKING POINTS Taxpayers demand to know if Carson is channeling Islamicist cash directly into the DNC.

NOTE: Speaker Paul Ryan has the power to remove Carson fom these highly significant intel committees.

Interesting how political money raised “qualifies” someone for a committee position.

Bought and paid for. Everything it seems is for sale in our government.

Yep, thats right Liz, we have an FBI that is essentially out of control covered by a thin veneer of Constitutionality.

Its time for the DOJ to roll up the Obama Gestapo FBI net.
They control US politics but they failed to control President Trump. And now the FBI are attempting with Mueller to foment a slow coupe on the US presidency.

Bring in Military Intelligence if they have too. Both the FBI and the DOJ need to be cleaned of these little totalitarian liberal fascists.As a sub-rosa net, they are a huge problem for the USA.

As far as Carson goes she needs to be the subject of a security investigation and an ethics committee investigation.The intel. community needs to ride her like a spavined mule.
