GOP Rep Rooney Suggests a ‘Purge’ at ‘Off the Rails’ FBI, DOJ
Breitbart ^ | 26 Dec 2017 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/26/2017 12:28:17 PM PST by Cheerio

Tuesday on MSNBC, Rep. Francis Rooney (R-FL) described the FBI and the Department of Justice as “off the rails” and suggested the possibility of a “purge” at the FBI and the Department of Justice.

Partial transcript as follows:

JACKSON: Before I let you go, I need to ask you about the president and his tweets. He’s been fairly quiet Christmas day, but the president is tweeting about the FBI. He’s been tweeting about his Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, why is that the right message right now for Donald Trump and Republicans?

ROONEY: Well, there’s two issues here. Yes, the president does have his own unique communication style, which I don’t think any of us have seen the use of Twitter deployed so broadly as a president does. But on the investigation, that investigation is totally off the rails. And I am really concerned —

JACKSON: But he’s not tweeting about the investigation. He is tweeting about the deputy director. He’s tweeting about FBI agents. Congressman, do you think that is appropriate for the president?

"JACKSON: Congressman, you just called the FBI and the DOJ off the rails, something that you’re okay with talking about here? How does that not sort of undermine the work that the agencies are doing?"

MSNBC trying to protect the "investigation" because they just know there is ciminality there.

I see heads rolling in dramatic fashion at some point. They can’t put the bullet back in the barrel. Too much is known. It’s not going away.

A purge of DOJ, FBI, and a whole bunch of other agencies whose personnel bully, harass, jail, and fine citizens for administrative, not criminal, incidents.

It’s about time the Obama Crime Syndicate and his Police State operations are investigated.

We are beginning to get a better picture of how sinister the Obama operation really is (it’s still functioning via his non-profit, OFA, located at his DC residence).

The genesis of the Democrats’ “win at any cost” odious Russia misinformation campaign is suddenly clearer.

BACKSTORY Through the last half of 2016, the Obama administration was desperately searching for evidence of some link between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

<><> They went to great lengths, falsifying requests, twice seeking, then finally obtaining, a court-ordered FISA, that allowed them to spy on at least one Trump associate.

<><> We now know that Obama’s NSA henchman, Susan “The Sifter” Rice, had an operation wherein raw NSA intelligence was sifted through for names of Trump associates, in hopes of uncovering dirt of some sort. These efforts came up dry. The Obama administration found no compromising information about Trump or any of his associates.

<><> Ever since the Trump Inauguration, the Democratic Party, especially its NY/DC press wing, has relentlessly pushed the Trump/Russia story. But that hasn’t stopped Democrat factotums in the press from talking about little else for the last three months.

<><>This is the kicker-—— all along, the Democrats have known that their spying produced nothing.

This whole Obama/Comey/Mueller/Democrat spy apparat is almost unbelievably sordid. The relevant Congressional committees should investigate thoroughly, and criminal prosecutions should follow where laws have been broken.

The tumultuous events that unfolded after the election and reelection of Barack Obama bring to mind the words of author Mary Shelley when her character, Victor Frankenstein, says:

“I live in daily fear lest the evil monster whom I created should perpetrate some new wickedness.”

The work the agencies are doing is undermining the work the agencies are doing.

REFERENCE---An Associated Press report found that more than half of State Dept Secy Hillary Clinton’s meetings or phone calls with government outsiders were conducted with donors for the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton’s ties with Lebanese-Nigerian donor Gilbert Chagoury deserved heightened scrutiny.

“The fact that a major Clinton Foundation donor was denied entry into the U.S. over ties to the terrorist group Hezbollah is deeply troubling, especially when this individual had access to top aides at Hillary Clinton’s State Department.”

"Several of the documents showed that the Department of State considered buying land for a U.S. Embassy in Nigeria from Chagoury after Clinton’s tenure ended. Clinton’s ties to Chagoury, who donated more than $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, raised several red flags after it came to light that Chagoury had been denied entry into the U.S. last year because of a suspected affiliation with Hezbollah through Lebanese politics."

BACKSTORY On March 20, 2013, William P. Franklin, an “intl realty specialist” at the State Department under then Secy Hillary emailed an American diplomat stationed in Africa, instructing her to “put on (official) Post letterhead” an “expression of interest” in purchasing property at Eko Atlantic, a massive real estate development off the coast of Lagos...... Franklin instructed that the signed letter was to be “delivered to Ronald Chagoury.”

MONTAGE---hat tip NY post

There needs to be mass trials of FBI employees with those found to be corrupt facing execution.

The judiciary is too broken to undertake this work, so Trump himself should judge cases. His is the only judgement I trust

Yes, it should be “open season” with special attention paid to the State Department as first beyond Justice. It’s been the “home” to a gaggle of Liberal Queers for decades. Tillerson needs to get more like Pruett over at the EPA. Pruett has really started the process of “cleaning house,” and he really needs to completely dismantle it so as to preclude any RAT president in the future having anything but ashes to build on.

Every department in DC needs to be purged. Too many bureaucrats believe that their entire purpose is to dream up mew freedom choking and job killing regulations.

Someone is trying to hang you with a crime with phony evidence and someone named JACKSON, whoever that is is...shocked.

Is JACKSON the winner of the Darwin award? He’s too stupid to breathe or eat. How come all these IvY League grads are so dumb?

Jackson is a she. And she hasn’t got a clue. It was painful to watch her blatant bias and agenda.

Apparently she’s just fine with the levels of corruption in the FBI and DOJ. And that’s incredibly sad.
