"Sometimes I do weasel moves."

Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) revealed Tuesday during the House Judiciary and Oversight committee’s hearing regarding the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton investigation that the FBI may have altered or manipulated the witness interviews compiled by investigators during both the Clinton and Russia investigations. The information, if proven true, could have significant implications in the case brought against against former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office, where conflicting testimony and statements made by Former FBI Director James Comey, would call into question whether the agents who interviewed Flynn believed he was either lying or telling the truth.
Meadows was questioning Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, saying “there is growing evidence that 302s [FBI interview reports] were edited and changed. Those 302s, it is suggested that they were changed to either prosecute or not prosecute individuals. And that is very troubling.”
Behind closed doors, in March 2017 Comey told Congress that the agents who interviewed Flynn on Jan. 24, 2017 did not believe that Flynn was lying. Comey later appeared to walk back his statement during an interview with Brett Baier on Fox News, suggesting that he didn’t recall making those statements to Congress, as previously reported. However, an unreacted section of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia report specifically stated, “Director Comey testified to the committee that ‘the agents…discerned no physical indications of deception. They didn’t see any change in posture, in tone, in inflection, in eye contact. They saw nothing that indicated to them that he knew he was lying to them.”

In other important breaking news, reports are water is wet! Who knew??
Wouldn’t Flynn have to withdraw his plea?
The charges of altered 302s are at least 3 months old.
I don’t have a record of who made the charge or where it was reported, but the memory is quite clear.

I’d say it much more than troubling....what is an IG for anyway??? Just another Government employee sucking the life from real Americans.
I’m surprised more people, particularly in Congress, aren’t concerned that America’s national police force attempted a coup.
Oh well, bread, circuses and all that.
““there is growing evidence that 302s [FBI interview reports] were edited and changed...”
How much freaking evidence do they need? Will somebody do something already! Justice is screaming out.
Reality is not “may have manipulated”.
It’s “falsified the f*** out of every goddamn thing in it”.
...Those 302s, it is suggested that they were changed to either prosecute or not prosecute individuals. And that is very troubling...
This is tampering with evidence. But, when the FBI does it, or if a former attorney general was charged with Contempt of Congress, or if the heirarchy of the FBI is accused of being in Contempt of Congress and is corrupt, so what? The DOJ has to prosecute and get a conviction. And they refuse to do it.
They would have been hanged at the corner of 12th and K a couple of centuries ago. What happened to justice?
Cut their funding for starters.
Then, indictments.

I posted yesterday, Horowitz was misleading when he drew a line between agent bias and prosecutor lack of bias. He basically claimed that the prosecutor decision to not charge Clinton was not affected by agent bias because they based their decision on the facts.
This is clearly nonsense because the agent bias caused them to cherry-pick the facts that were presented to the lawyers, and tamper with witness statements. The prosecutor decisions were biased by incomplete and falsified information supplied to them by the FBI.

The term is not “edited”, it’s “falsified evidence”. It’s a crime. For everyone else.
"Sometimes I do weasel moves."
We need a special counsel to investigate the FBI, then a special counsel to investigate the special counsel. Maybe Joe Stalin had it right: there might only be one way to purge corruption.
Such idiocy in our government. The idiots play us for fools. We ALWAYS knew about this. Nothing will happen. It’s a continuous joke.
what is an IG for anyway???
******************
Protecting the agency it works for. The IG isn’t going to bite the hand that feeds it, nor will it expose its own peers, colleagues and management in the organization.
Its there for one thing: to whitewash malfeasance and mismanagement.
Such idiocy in our government.
*****************
IG = Idiotic Government.
How does this all end?
Simpler to just fire every single obama appointee and undo appointments done by THEM
POISONing a country IS the leftists goal.
Destroying institution IS their goal
Suffer not the leftist as he is a poisonous snake in your midst
