IG Report: Comey Claimed DOJ Prosecutors Were Intimidated By ‘High-Powered’ Clinton Lawyers
Daily Caller ^ | 06/15/2018 | Kerry Picket

The report says, “Comey, Baker, and other FBI witnesses told us that they believed the prosecutors were overly cautious about obtaining the laptops because they were intimidated by high-powered defense counsel like [Beth] Wilkinson.”


The report also describes other FBI witnesses who made the same claim — including agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, whose text messages in the report revealed their political bias against Donald Trump becoming president.


“Some FBI witnesses told us, consistent with text message exchanges between [Peter] Strzok and [Lisa] Page, that the FBI was concerned that the line [Network Security Division] prosecutors were intimidated by the high-powered attorneys representing Clinton and her senior aides and, as a result, did not negotiate aggressively with them,” the report states.


It continues, “Strzok told us that Prosecutor 1, who handled most of the negotiations with counsel, is ‘extraordinarily competent,’ but he believed more senior government officials should have been involved with deciding ‘how hard [to] push counsel.'”

This is a joke, right?

A joke based on a DOJ with rampant corruption. The punch line could be something like Clinton lawyers don’t have to pretend.

“It is simple raw communism.”

Yes, and Karl Marx invented communism as a political strategy, not an economic system. He always knew collectivism would not have the promised results - his goal wasn’t ever equality or “social justice” - it was disruption of the status quo - revolution. He knew the “have-nots” were easy to manipulate by tempting them to covet their neighbor’s wealth - never mind that doing so is against the Ten Commandments.

The people have been brainwashed by Leftists like Marx who claim to be fighting for social justice, but who really seek power and wealth for themselves.

Trump’s challenge is to “un-brainwash” the American people who have been sold a bill of goods. Many of the Leftists in the deep state, the MSM and Hollywood are innocent victims of the brainwashing.
