Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia By ERIC LICHTBLAU and STEVEN LEE MYERS OCT. 31, 2016


Page texted she had seen the article. “Makes me feel WAY less bad about throwing him under the bus to the forthcoming CF article,” she texted. Congressional investigators are still trying to determine what the “CF article” reference means and who the agents thought they were trying to throw “under the bus.”

Relevant quotes from the Matt Apuzzo article:

F.B.I. Chief James Comey Is in Political Crossfire Again Over Emails
By ERIC LICHTBLAU, MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and MATT APUZZO OCT. 28, 2016
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/29/us/politics/fbi-clinton-emails-james-comey.html

In recent months, the F.B.I. has dealt with the fallout from the email decision, wrestled with whether to pursue tips about the Clinton family foundation and opened a wide-ranging counterintelligence case into whether Russia is trying to influence the election. Just this week, the F.B.I. defended itself from accusations that Democrats had curried favor with the deputy director by making donations to his wife’s failed State Senate campaign in Virginia.

F.B.I. agents say their community meetings invariably lead to questions about what the bureau is or is not doing in connection with the election. Mr. Comey has urged his agents to stay above the fray. But many of them worry that regardless of the election’s outcome, the F.B.I. might end up the loser.

Secret police colluding with the media; Hitlery Rotten Clinton loyalists.

If she had won, she would have been untouchable, no scandals, no controversies, no investigations. Not just for what she and hers had openly done (like destroying subpoenaed records) but what they would have done in 4 or 8 years with her as President.

Well, well ...

Matt Apuzzo (born c. 1978) is an American journalist. He won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting in 2012. In 2013, Apuzzo co-wrote a book with Adam Goldman called Enemies Within.[1]

Apuzzo was born in Cumberland, Maine and attended Colby College.[2] He wrote for the Waterville Morning Sentinel while in college. He then worked for The Standard-Times in New Bedford, Massachusetts before moving to the Associated Press. He reported on New York City Police Department corruption and misconduct and revealed its collaboration with the CIA to conduct surveillance in Muslim communities. He won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting with Adam Goldman, Eileen Sullivan and Chris Hawley.[3]

In 2013, it was revealed that the Justice Department secretly subpoenaed his phone records as part of leak investigation into who provided the Associated Press information about a bomb plot foiled by the CIA.[4] It was later revealed that the Justice Department had conducted leak investigations into his stories twice before. He has been highly critical of government secrecy and the media's willingness to accept it.[5][6]

Since 2013, he has worked for The New York Times.[7]

At the Times, Apuzzo broke several stories about the Justice Department's civil rights efforts and national security prosecutions.[8] In January 2015, he broke the story about how the F.B.I. and Justice Department were recommending that the former C.I.A. director David Petraeus be charged with a felony in connection with disclosing sensitive national security information. [9]

Page, being the adulterous whore that she is, and her bed-buddy “Stroking Strzok”, probably don’t know that the Trump Hotel in DC was once the Washington Field Office of the FBI (late 1960s). Been there on business.

If Trump destroys these leftist Democrat pricks in DOJ/FBI, then he not only controls the new FBI, but also owns their old Field Office.

Justice and revenge can be sweet, especially when you buy the new enemy’s old command post and make a profit on it.

#38. Re the photo of Trump looking sternly at Hillary.

What was he thinking? I’ll take a good guess.

“Who would marry that braying jackass?”
“No wonder Bill liked internships”.

Funny - and it is a delightful revenge to own that building.

That said, I can’t even imagine how these two (and obviously, many others in the intelligence services) thought this was okay. And they clearly never expected to have anybody think that this was wrong and call them on it, either.

What an awful situation. This is a palace conspiracy. They need to be in prison (since we no longer execute traitors).

How can it be possible that this guy is supposedly at the (almost) highest level of the FBI and he’s stupid enough to send those text messages?

Even better. James Comey trusted this joker and was going to promote him to a high position in the FBI.

By the Hand of Providence, the USA dodged an bullet when Trump won... and also when Democrats insisted the DOJ Inspector General investigate the FBI handling of the Clinton emails.

This is more fun than watching a train wreck in slow motion. Every day more and more information comes out...and there is nothing they can do to stop it.

I wonder if some will start committing suicide?
