remember recent WaPo article stating that FBI had intended to pay the British agent who collaborated on fake “golden” dossier. huh? was FBI colluding with BHO to bring DJT down? or did the whole surveillance deal go through NSA side (with Ben Rhodes’ slimy fingerprints on it?) or is the Comey denial based on parsing words or FAKE NEWS. hmmmmmmmm

From the timeline, note the FISA request occurred prior to Trump’s Russian joke...

1. June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.

2. July: Russia joke. Wikileaks releases emails from the Democratic National Committee that show an effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from winning the presidential nomination. In a press conference, Donald Trump refers to Hillary Clinton’s own missing emails, joking: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.” That remark becomes the basis for accusations by Clinton and the media that Trump invited further hacking.

“Brits were likely spying too. Head spy just resigned for family reasons”

It’s that wormy 5 eyes agreement. We spy on their citizens, and they spy on ours. We swap the data, and both claim we don’t spy domestically.

Bastards all!

IIRC, it was the Democrats who first secured the former agent’s services? And wasn’t there recent discussions about having him testify before Congress?

Mark Levin laid out a very good case on Fox this morning. All the evidence is out in the open. This is a slam dunk for justice. Prosecutions will follow. Comey must be on drugs or something....he’s gotta go.

One small problem; Session recused himself which leaves an Obama appointee in charge of all things with a Russian connection.

This story about Comey going to DOJ in the NYT was PLANTED, you can bet on it!!! Comey probably went to a VERY FEW people in the department ALREADY suspected of being the leakers and said he went to the DOJ they are FLUSHING OUT the traitors!!! Like GOWDY said don’t trust ANYTHING coming from WP or NYT, they are being SET UP!!!! The traitors are probably KNOWN NOW!!!!

For all we know, unnamed “senior American officials” source(s) came from Slimy Sulzberger Jr’s Ouji Board.

Comey is trying to force DoJ to put up or shut up. If they deny it and Trump’s guys prove it a bunch of DoJ folks are in deep drek. If they affirm it, ditto. The only thing they can really do safely, for a little while, is mumble or stare at their feet, unless it is not true. I don’t hear any clear answer here.

Better yet, post the Conmey official statement with the request.

“One small problem; Session recused himself which leaves an Obama appointee in charge of all things with a Russian connection.”

so this was a big set-up. the dims knew what was coming so they try to get sessions to resign, but instead he recused himself. then that leaves Obama’s surrogate to look into the matter. can’t Trump fire the obama appointee, if he is a political appointee?

That's an angle that might 'splain some things, but you're giving Comey a lot of credit I'm not sure he deserves. Hope you're right!

Also, there is the fact Trump was livid at Sessions recusing himself. Do you think that could be part of the plan too?

So how's that gonna look, Trump firing the DOJ in charge after they publicly state there is NO basis for Trump's charge?

Congress could then fall in line, like good little boys and girls, and simply ignore Trump's request for an investigation, while working on plans behind closed doors for impeachment.

This may amount to nothing more than fuel for the claims of Trump being "unhinged", if played right by TPTB.

There is no evidence for the Democrat claim of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government on anything related to affecting the 2016 election and yet the media and elected Democrats still treat the claim as gospel simply because their Fake News Media echo chamber repeats it over and over.

All this speculation is from a single NYT article. I am will to bet most of the article is fake news.
