Senators suspect Comey lied and plotted to double-cross Trump, seek second special counsel
washingtontimes.com ^ | 3/18/18 | Rowan Scarborough

Posted on 03/19/2018 4:30:29 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

A plan of action for how a second special counsel can investigate the FBI and Justice Department is spelled out in a point-by-point letter submitted by two Republican senators.

They specifically want to know whether former FBI Director James B. Comey lied to them and had a plan to double-cross President Trump.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina sent a letter last week to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. They and two other Republicans want a special counsel with the powers of the Trump-Russia probe’s Robert Mueller to investigate suspected Justice Department corruption. They attached a second letter to Michael E. Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general, outlining all the avenues that need to be navigated — complete with new and expanded accusations. They want an investigation to look at whether Mr. Comey set up Mr. Trump as president-elect.

Yup. Trump needs to back up his tough tweets regarding Sessions or it will eventually become apparent that Trump is not playing 3D chess, but playing us.

Nixon was facing the MSM alone. And he was guilty. As He**.

He wasn't any different than any other politician that had an election stolen, until he responded to the plot to take him down.

...My answer is not directed at you but every goddamn idiot here who badmouthed Trump and his main man Sessions....

Thank you.

Your message gives me hope. Right before the election there was a message posted that gave me hope. Now today. Thank you. And thank God for Donald Trump, a man of courage.

Linda Graham is all over the place this past weekend. I guess he is cool with another special counsel but will impeach Trump if he fires Mueller. What a mess he is.

A second Special Counsel could be very good or very bad. He/she could be worse than Mueller; it’s a crap shoot.

“Plot to take him down?”

The Nixon WH fostered an atmosphere that condoned illegal activity (ie the break-ins), and when Nixon found out about the Watergate break-in after the burglars were caught, he chose to try to cover up WH involvement by paying off the burglars and then by obstructing justice. The pickle he found himself in was 100% his own doing. Having as many enemies as he did, he needed to be “purer than the driven snow”. Instead, he handed them the tools they needed to remove him from office.

The US abandonement of SE Asia and the resulting genocide, the Democrat veto-proof Congress run amuk in 75-76 with insane laws and policies, and Jimmuh “Illnevuhlietoya” Carter, only came about because of Nixon’s CHOOSING to break the law.

THAT is the real “downside” of Nixon’s legacy (and believe me, no one was more aware of, or felt more guilt over the above events, than he did). He could have gone down as a very good president, maybe near-great, given his moves with China and if SE Asia had been shored up and saved from communism.

Instead, his own paranoia brought down not only him personally, but handed his enemies a “free pass” to wreak havoc in the USA and the world ....

...thankfully, our current President has committed no such actions .. nor is he likely to do so ... because he has a much higher moral compass than Nixon did ..

If Nixon had been 30 years younger and a Democrat, liberals would have loved him.

It is far past time to fire Mueller and order a special counsel to investigate him as well. Let me show you why. Mueller was charged with investigating the Russian connection and interference in the US Election of 2016 and any thing related thereto. From this he has only investigated Trump/ Russian collusion , which was nil. 2. Obstruction of justice in the prosecution of Mike Flyenn and 3. Trumps finances.
Why just Trump?? He ignores that hillary was in the election as the Democrat candidate. 1. She clearly colluded in paying the russians for the GPS dossier full of lies to effect the election. There is no longer any question that she colluded and conspired to collude with Russia to effect the outcome of the election. 2. There was massive overwhelming obstruction of justice by mcCabe, comey, lynch, hillary and especially bill clinton in conspiracy and actual participation to exhonerate hillary clinton from the espionage act violations and violations of thousands of restrictions of government document existing in a non government server. 3. FINANCES!! lets look at the $700,000 direct payment to hillary ( Bills speaking fee was part hillary’s under New York property Laws ) to give 5 minutes speech to Russian banks and 135 million dollars paid to the “foundation” to be funneled to her, her husband and her daughter as salaries bonuses and “ expense reimbursements” directly from russians to gain control of 20% of our uranium while she was in office and did, in fact, approve the insane treasonous sale to russians who make bombs to kill us. There is something mueller should be looking into if he is concerned about candidated “ finances”.
The fact that he persecutes only Trump is cause for his immediate removal. He has massive conflicts of interest as he was FBI director during the uranium one treasonous deal. He interviewed with Trump for FBI director which put him in conflict . He is friends with both Comey and Rosenstien and cannot continue since they are both active parties in this sham. FIRE MUELLER NOW. This has gone on too long. I am not alone and the Drudge poll of over 800,000 polled show that 75% of Americans want this sham STOPPED. Take that money and BUILD THE WALL!

McCabe’s felonies are mouse nuts compared to Comey (McCabe’s best bud), Lynch, Brennan, Power, Jarret, Kerry, Crooked Hillary, and others. All under the watchful eye of Hussein Obama. . . Don’t forget Clapper, Powers, Rice, Lerner, Koskinen, etc. You could build a new jail and populate it with the bad actors from the last administration.

All the Major Players

These People attempted a Coup!

We the People shall not Rest until they are all investigated and tried for sedition and treason – nothing less – they covered up the Clinton Crimes and then tried to destroy the President-elect and our current President Donald Trump. They are still in the process of attempting a Coup! They have to be stopped!

Lynch has to go to prison as well. As the AG, she was overseeing all of this illegal activity.

Merci beaucoups! I was on a tear this morning. Do you remember Terry Reed's book, “Compromised”? At the end of Reagan, the modern era began. It was all there in that strange story of Barry Seal, the Clinton's and Papa Bush. Too far out yet compelling. Compromised.
If Trump can get the compromised ones cleared out, we stand a chance. First, though, the ones who are doing the blackmailing!

I thought he should have gathered the tapes called a press conference and burned them.

As crooked politicians go, Nixon was a piker.

If anybody wants the original The Epoch Times article in German to enlighten some of their German friends - I have some in great need of enlightenment in Hamburg - here is the link

https://www.epochtimes.de/politik/welt/fisa-und-numes-memos-wie-hochrangige-obama-beauftragte-gegen-trump-agierten-a2338538.html

It is interesting that the Epoch Times is a multi-language newspaper headquartered in NYC and was founded in 2000 by John Tang and a group of Chinese-American Falun Gong practitioners to protest anti-censorship in China. It is very anti-communist.
