Former intelligence Chiefs Fit Perfectly Into Media Advocacy Culture
Townhall.com ^ | December 19, 2019 | Victor Davis Hanson

Former FBI Director James Comey and deputy director Andrew McCabe, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have lots of things in common.

One, they ran the nation's key intelligence and investigatory agencies under former President Barack Obama. They were deeply involved in the "Russian collusion" hoax. And they participated in the surveillance of the Trump campaign and transition.

Comey and McCabe both signed applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrants requesting surveillance on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. A report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz criticized Comey and McCabe's FBI for falsehoods and misrepresentations during its investigation of the Donald Trump campaign.

Clapper, Brennan and the FBI helped to disseminate the fallacious Steele dossier to the press and among government agencies.

Two, Comey, McCabe, Brennan and Clapper have all lied either under oath or in the public sphere.

Horowitz has said that he referred Comey for criminal prosecution for leaking classified memos he wrote about his confidential conversations with the president, but the Justice Department did not pursue charges. He signed FISA warrant applications that the inspector general has determined were misleading at best and at worst simply flat-out wrong.

In testimony before the House Judiciary and oversight Committees, there were 245 occasions on which Comey claimed he couldn't remember details or couldn't answer questions.

I’m sure the Rats have their next hoax and manufactured outrage already chambered and ready to go. Meanwhile Barr is practicing his bagpipes.

Will these four traitors get cells in the same block with HRC so they have to smell her fetid carcass for the rest of her life?

Too harsh?

If any of these coup conspirators were going to be indicted it would have happened. We are well into “Justice delayed is Justice denied” territory.

It is galling to see Comey and his band of Intelligence thugs parade around in the media, taking the moral high ground against Trump. And this insistence on purity of intent by Comey is getting particularly galling.

If only, at least, the original FISA warrant would be released, totally unredacted.

Remember, on January 12, 2017, a few days before the inaugeration, Obama issued an executive order that made it possible for ALL intelligence agencies to communicate....freeing them up to “collude” as they would.

Lying get under oath is not a crime if it’s done to help Democrats.
