‘Massive scandal’: Ex-DOJ spokesman says Reince Preibus must resign after calling FBI about Russia
RawStory ^ | February 24, 2017 | Brad Reed

A former spokesman for the Department of Justice says that White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus must resign in the wake of revelations that he had called the FBI to ask them to publicly deny a story about the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian intelligence officials.

Appearing on Chris Hayes’s show on MSNBC, ex-DOJ spokesman Matthew Miller said that anyone in the Obama administration would have been fired instantly for doing anything close to what Priebus did.

When everything everyday is a ‘massive scandal’, it turns out nothing is a massive scandal...the Democrats and the press have overplayed their outrage card, and nobody cares what they think, or even pays attention - except their most loyal base (i.e. the people paid by Soros).

Talk about the boy the called ‘wolf’ one too many times....

Obama's action group is working 24/7 to disrupt Trump's administration.....BS pure and simple. MSNBC is still in the tank for Marxist Obama and wife, acting in behalf of anti-Americans....remember when Obama wouldn't place his hand over his heart for the Colors passing for fear of "taking sides?

Remember this?

(Obama the Marxist knows what he is doing!!!) Shame on you O'Reilly for calling this traitor a patriot!

That guy looks like the pictures of that twit that has had so much facial and body surgery to look like a Ken Doll. It’s scary and eerie at the same time.

There. I corrected the sentence for grammar and punctuation.

0 would have done “an internal review” which always would exonerate anyone of anything bad, and name drop the agencies that supposedly agreed with them, while blocking those agencies from countering this “official” White House position.

I must have missed it when Obama fired Hillary for using a prohibited private server for government emails.

So, let’s say the attorney general had met with the husband of a subject under investigation on the tarmac of an airport, that attorney general would have resigned?

FBI: “These leaked media stories are false.”
Reince: “Well, why don’t you tell them?”
FBI: “No, that would be leaking.”
Reince: “Oh, OK.”

Pretty much what happened. John Roberts on Fox last hour gave the timeline. FBI called the White House (or Preibus) and told them that the leaked media stories about Trump advisor's connections with the Russians were false. Preibus called the FBI back and asked the FBI to go public with the information. The FBI said they couldn't but said it could come out if asked during upcoming testimony to Congress.

The Dems/Libs are trying to pick off Trump’s inner circle one by one. This must end. Any time the Libs do this, Trump needs to back the latest victim up and visually so, until the enemy figures out this latest dirty tactic of theirs, making up a fake story and then choosing the Trump staff member to get rid of based on their fake story, won’t work anymore.

The FBI calls Priebus and tells him that they cannot confirm any of the stories and allegations of Russian tampering with the election. Reince asks them if he can go public and tell this info to the press, or have the FBI come forward and lay out their conclusions which means denying the stories. Then someone in the FBI tells CNN about the meeting, and the headline is NOT that the FBI finds no truth in the allegations, but that Trump officials are attempting to tell the FBI to lie to the public and stop stories. You really cannot make this up.
