"The walls are closing in, but they're not closing in on the president. They're closing in on the FBI and the Department of Justice under President Obama," diGenova said on Fox News' "Hannity" Thursday night.
"By mentioning Carter Page, they have now created massive civil liability for everybody involved in revealing Carter Page's name," diGenova declared. He cited the names of former FBI counterintelligence director Bill Priestap, former FBI director James Comey, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, and former FBI general counsel James Baker as people who are particularly vulnerable to civil liability.
"The reporters for the New York Times have no privileges now. They also can be sued by Carter Page because although they may have been legally able to accept information, by publishing it, they revealed classified information that smeared Carter Page," he added. "Mr. Page is going to be a very wealthy man."
But according to diGenova, Comey, McCabe, and Strzok are criminally liable. "They're all going down on the FISA warrant stuff. That's just not even an open question anymore."

Joe knows!
Comey has been very quiet recently.
Just what I was going to say. My brother likes to point out, think of Obama, Hillary and that whole circle of people connected to them, all the crap they did for 8 years..... and who is the only person doing jail time? A guy who was sexting: Anthony Weiner. Freakin sexting!
Maybe Joe knows.
He talks a big game.
I hope he is correct.
.
He speaks from experience; he was a US Atty.
.
Show me Joe, we’ve been down this road so many times. I’m from Missouri.
Suuuure hope he’s right, cuz we have been here a million, billion times, getting noooothing....
For the sake of this country’s greatness, it better be true.
Yates, Rice, Biden, Comey and Obama Met in White House to Discuss Targeting Mike Flynn

During the infamous January 5, 2017 White House meeting Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Joe Biden, James Comey and Barack Obama discussed how they would target General Michael Flynn.
This is a huge development!
1. Mueller has told close confidants he was handed “a piece of crap on collusion.” But investigated it further with no fruits.
2. DiGenova mentions, “James Baker, former FBI General Counsel, is a cooperating witness in a case against James Comey.”
3. DiGenova says there will be one more indictment related to Lying to the FBI. However “the Mueller Probe is coming to an end with NO indictments about collusion whatsoever.”

For the DOJ, FBI and FISA courts to come out of this with their credibility intact Mueller is going to have to take the scalps of the Obama cronies who started this.
“But according to diGenova, Comey, McCabe, and Strzok are criminally liable. “They’re all going down on the FISA warrant stuff. That’s just not even an open question anymore.”
Not if Rosenfeinstein and Mueller have anything to say about it. Sessions doesn’t count.
Brennan was unconscionable--- he worked tidbits from the phony ‘Pee Dossier’ into Obama’s Daily Intel Briefing (PDB) My takeaway is that Brennan and Hillary pegged Obama correctly......
<><> Obama was stupid enough to believe it...... and
<><> Obama was too stupid to understand he was reading falsified intel.
We know this whole investigation was “By The Book” (cue laugh machine here).
Obama told them it "had" to be by the book..... but he told them "after the fact"
(in January after they had been at it for a long while). Read on.
======================================
Obama's stupid NSA adviser Susan Rice wrote a CYA memo to herself and confessed to a series of crimes that added the time line and inferences about what the outgoing Obama administration illegally concealed from incoming President Trump and his aides. (CYA memos are rarely a good idea. Most often, they reveal things the author never intended----ala Susan Rice’s now-infamous email to herself.)
SOURCE: powerlineblog.com
SUSAN RICE WRITES AN EMAIL TO HERSELF........the extraordinary email Obama's National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote to herself at 12:15 on January 20, 2017........within minutes of President Trump's inauguration must have been her last act, more or less, before she vacated the White House. So obviously the email was important to her. But why would it be important to send an email to herself (the only person copied was one of her aides)?
If you read the email, along with Senator Grassley’s letter to Rice, it is obvious that it is a CYA memo. But the question is, whose A is being C’d? Most attention, so far, has focused on the first two paragraphs of the email, which describe a meeting that occurred around two weeks earlier.
Rice said the participants included
<><>Barack Obama, <><>Joe Biden,
<><>James Comey, <><> Sally Yates–who turns up like a bad penny whenever skulduggery is afoot–
<><>and Rice:
Rice made sure to underscore that Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities “by the book”.
Rice writes Obama stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
This is pure boilerplate.
It represents, obviously, the company line. But Rice did not write her email to cover Barack Obama’s rear end. If she or anyone else had wanted to document the claim that Obama said to proceed “by the book,” the appropriate course would have been an official memo that copied others who were present and would have gone into the file. (My guess is that such a memo was written, but we haven’t seen it.)
The important part of the email is not the paragraph that purports to exonerate Obama, but the paragraphs that follow: "From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia."
The next paragraph of the email remains classified and has been redacted. The email concludes: The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.
===============================
CONCLUSION Why did Susan Rice send herself an email purporting to document this part of the meeting? Because she was C’ing her own A. Rice was nervous about the fact that, at the president’s direction, she had failed to “share information fully as it relates to Russia” with President
Trump’s incoming national security team. Her actions violated longstanding American tradition. Outgoing administrations have always cooperated in the transition to a new administration, whether of the same or the opposing party, especially on matters relating to national security.
Susan Rice is far from the brightest bulb on the tree, but she was well aware that by concealing facts ostensibly relating to national security from her counterpart in the new administration–General Michael Flynn–she was, at a minimum, violating longstanding civic norms.
If Rice actually lied to Flynn, she could have been accused of much worse. So Rice wanted to be able to retrieve her email, if she found herself in a sticky situation, and tell the world that she hid relevant facts about Russia from the new administration on Barack Obama’s orders.
What were the secrets that Obama wanted to keep from the new administration? We can easily surmise that the fact that the Steele memo was paid for by the Democratic Party; that the FBI had to some degree collaborated with Steele; that the Clinton campaign had fed some of the fake news in the dossier to Steele; and that Comey’s FBI had used Steele’s fabrications as the basis for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign were among the facts that Obama and his minions didn’t want Michael Flynn and Donald Trump to know. Susan Rice, we can infer, was told to keep these secrets, and if anyone ever asked why she had failed to disclose them to Michael Flynn and others on Trump’s team, or even lied to those people, she would have the defense that President Obama ordered her to do it.
There may be more to it than this. The redacted paragraph likely contains more information about what it was that Rice wasn’t supposed to tell the Trump team. One of these days, we will learn what was blacked out.
The fact that Michael Flynn was Susan Rice’s counterpart in the incoming administration may also be significant. We know that the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn–even Peter Strzok!–reported that they didn’t think he had lied about anything. And yet, Obama’s DOJ and Bob Mueller’s “investigation”–basically a continuation of Obama’s corrupt Department of Justice under another, less accountable name–persecuted Flynn to the point where he finally pled guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI in order, as he says, to end the madness and the financial drain.
Why were the Democrats so determined to discredit General Flynn? Perhaps because they wanted to pre-empt any outrage that may otherwise have followed on revelations that the Obama administration’s National Security Advisor hid important facts from her successor during the transition, and may have lied to him about those facts, in violation of all American tradition.
Maybe Judge Jeanine will indict them. That’s the ticket. Or even better Trump’s tweets will force them to confess.
I tell ya boys we got ‘em on the run now.
He is correct. The war has begun.
Nothing will come of any of this. Color me shocked if it does.
Joe also said that Sessions was out of it, that Huber wasn’t doing investigations and that the IG was toothless.
So how are both statements true?
I believe Trump will be reconfiguring the top positions at the DOJ soon.
