FBI, and other agencies, living well outside of lawful law and in violation of USConstitution.

Return to USConstituion, or perish.

perhaps Trump could go to his Mueller meeting with a briefcase that has the word URANIUM printed on it-just for a laugh of course

If Hillary had been elected they would have gotten away with this...

We saw the same sort of corruption at the IRS, EPA, State Department, and Justice Department under President Obama.

WTF wouldn’t Obama’s FBI also have a culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks?

>>If, for some reason, the FBI/DOJ “hide the ball” tactics need to end, they’ll have to pair up with the ATF and find some family or fringe group to besiege and then shoot-up as a distraction from their political shenanigans.

It’s been quite a few weeks since there was a national news story about a police officer shooting a suspect. The problem must’ve “stopped” because the press no longer finds those events to be newsworthy. The yellow journalism served its purpose.

Probably to summarize the investigation so far in such a way as to get the gist of things released to the public without jeopardizing witnesses, methods, etc... they probably sent it back to Wray to have him confirm nothing classified was in it, no informants,witnesses or methodology exposed so they could then release the summary memo to the public.
But the FBI still stalled...

What happens when federal agencies accused of possible wrongdoing — also control the alleged evidence against them?

What happens when they’re the ones in charge of who inside their agencies — or connected to them — ultimately gets investigated and possibly charged?

We're going to find out...Will the FBI and 'intelligence services' protect themselves or the country they've sworn to protect? And how will they define that question?

This week, the FBI said it was unfair for the House Intelligence Committee not to provide its memo outlining alleged FBI abuses. The committee wrote the summary memo after reviewing classified government documents in the Trump-Russia probe.

Is this the piece?

This is the first time I can recall open government groups and many reporters joining in the argument to keep the information secret. They are strangely uncurious about alleged improprieties with implications of the worst kind: Stasi-like tactics used against Americans. “Don’t be irresponsible and reveal sources and methods,” they plead.

If the corrupt press has it's way (protecting the rights of Government thugs over the rights of the people) we might never know what's in the memo... or why it was written...

Thank God you said THAT early on in this thread. The “R’s” need not set their hair on fire, and ours.

For clicks and hits and ratings and pay checks and promotions the media (on both sides) will be filling that role, seeking to arouse a civil war panic among us.

Personally, I believe we can’t participate in panic. Cool heads are attractive and can project confidence. (On that count is one reason I admire Nunes and Gowdy.)

PS: Did you read that Gowdy has been given Top Secret intelligence clearance? He is the only one who has it , I believe, on his committee.

I have no problem with another government exposing the corruption of our own government and politicians through wikileaks. They will cover up their own with collaboration from our media. It takes a government with the ability to hack and and organization like wikileaks to expose. They are afraid of being exposed.

The left wingers hated the government and the press back in the sixties and seventies and ESPECIALLY the FBI. Now they’ve all joined forces against the rights of the people.

It’s sad to know we now have a press that stands with the powerful and elite AGAINST the American people.

Never thought I’d see the day...

You have more faith than I do... you choose a good screen name.

I would hope you would be right... and that the good people of the FBI would out the bad ones no matter who was President.

But, I have my doubts now a days.

Ping NOT Q

If you are on my ping list, you already received the following Twitter link to an excellent Larry Schweikart’s excellent 20-point summary:

https://twitter.com/LarrySchweikart/status/956897453613006848

I am pinging the opinion piece from TheHill.com in case you want to read the original article upon which Larry based his summary.
My favorite part of Larry’s article summary is point #3: all the big FBI cases (Benghazi, Uranium One etc.) may have to be re-opened when FBI is proven to have been compromised.

Friendly reminders: Please continue to pray for the safety and success of our POTUS, his family, our military, and all patriots.

Please click “Private Reply” beneath this post at the linked thread to message me that you want on or off the ping list.

Thank you.
