'Horrible': Clinton loyalists exploited Obama's FBI to spread Russia conspiracy stories about Trump
www.washingtontimes.com ^ | Sunday, April 14, 2019 | By Rowan Scarborough

Hillary Clinton loyalists fed the FBI’s upper echelon an assortment of anti-Donald Trump criminal accusations during the 2016 campaign and his presidency, according to a string of interview transcripts released in recent weeks.

James A. Baker, former FBI general counsel who participated on the receiving end, testified that the situation was “horrible” and “highly unusual.”

At least 10 of Mrs. Clinton’s supporters directly or via middlemen told the bureau tales about Russia-Trump conspiracies. It appears to be an unprecedented effort by a presidential campaign and the party in power to count on the FBI to knock out the other party’s candidate and president.

The transcripts create the picture of an FBI not always following expected norms as it activated an unofficial conveyor belt to make sure the allegations reached the counterintelligence division. It opened an investigation into the Trump campaign on July 31, 2016. In October, it began wiretapping at least one Republican while dispatching possibly multiple undercover sources to spy.

In the end, the Democratic Party-financed charges fell flat. Special counsel Robert Mueller reported last month that his 22-month investigation failed to establish a Trump-Russia conspiracy to interfere in the election by computer hacking and social media trolling.

For the left, the primary purpose of government power is

self enrichment

************************************

Imo, that’s confusing the motivations of the minions of the left for the leftist goals.

Yes, the degenerates doing the will of the left seek self enrichment. That’s part of the teaching of the satanic creed they follow. Self above all others.

But the left’s overall goal is absolute tyranny, and those minions enriching themselves now will be among the first put against the wall after.

So worried about Russia manipulating our system from afar??

And we have the Dems doing this....and the media supporting them almost 100%.

And remember, if Trump didn't win the election, none of this would be known.

The Dems opposition research....by any other name....was a witch hunt,

Watergate was nothing.

If Comey had a lick of sense, he would wake up and realize that Cankles used him as a cut-out, but as a minor cut-out with a major position.

If she had won, he'd be out on the same timeline.

What's really hilarious is, at the end of the day, McCabe and Comey put their trust in Bush I, who owned Mueller lock stock and kneepad.

Bush talked a lot of shit about Trump but that "Brown One" (Bush's words) George P. needed his pathway preserved for the inevitable Presidential face-off against Cankles II; and the other thing is, BushCo really does believe in Unitary Executive as the 'Thing Worth Preserving' - don't forget we gave Shrub 2 terms as an apology for electing Bubba (and squaring the circle by defeating his VP).

There are interviews with Bush I out there where he subtly laments Nixon's impeachment viz, Poppy simply would not endorse another near-miss in his lifetime (even if he did RIP before the dog & pony show was over).

And if you give the job to Pence, well he doesn't owe anyone but a handful of Hoosiers. Talk about a wild card in the Bush I Gestalt!

None of this is to say Trump had anything to worry about; but it does say rather loudly that Mueller packed on the pro forma "let's hire Democrats", rounded up the Scooter Libby's (Manafart is an numbskull, Gen Flynn less so but careless), just classic Bush I mind-meld sockpuppetry on display.

Lock her up! And her unindicted co-conspirators.

Partner, we all agree after reading that "Great Book by Greg Jarrett!!!"

Greg Jarrett points out that Hillary does not even care about breaking the law so if you watched any of the President Trump campaign the folks in the audience told us what needs to be done to Miss Hillary Clinton.

The audience would all shout out "To Lock Her Up" anytime that Hillary's name was mentioned. Well her time in jail is coming up since it has been way too quiet.

Our MSM must be really dead since they will keep their traps shut when Hillary's name if mentioned.

Partner, this was a major coup attempt by the DemonRat party and the America Hating Piece of Work Obama was doing some of the criminal behavior. They will be "Heck" to pay for these crimes.

Partner, "Watergate was a water shed compared to the Coup Attempt on President Trump."

It is far from over since you have probably noticed the MSM is awfully quite awaiting the Mueller Report on the Fake Dossier.

The MSM of today is so self serving, treacherous, traitorous, back biting, lying thru their teeth yet they can not even put 2 and 2 together. No wonder they were crying after the election of 2016.

IIRC there are at least two Strzok-Page texts that prove Obama was complicit in this, if not the instigator.

“Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016, about prepping Comey because “potus wants to know everything we’re doing.” According to a newly released Senate report, this text raises questions about Obama’s personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation.”

If that’s their prime directive, they failed badly.

Obama was a Bush agent.

There is no doubt they are involved in this at the very top
