Late on Monday, we learned that the Deputy Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, had suddenly and without real explanation cancelled his long-scheduled appearance to testify before the House Intelligence Committee today. Fox News reporter Chad Pergram tweeted Monday night that “congressional sources” told him that a subpoena would likely be issued to try to compel his appearance. That’s fairly ironic, since it took a threatened subpoena in early November to convince McCabe to agree to testify in the first place.
Pergram further reported that his sources believe McCabe cancelled his appearance due to a concern that he would be questioned about Justice Department muckety-muck Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie, who we learned worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016. Ohr, of course, was recently “reassigned”, i.e., marginalized within the DOJ when it was learned that he held meetings with Fusion GPS – the firm that was hired by the Clinton Campaign and the DNC to collude with Russian officials to compile the fake Trump Dossier – throughout the 2016 election campaign.
So, because he was “concerned” that he might be forced to answer questions he obviously does not want to answer, McCabe apparently chose what has apparently become FBI standard policy in 2017, which is to join the agency’s ever-growing stonewalling of any testimony or records production that might reveal the truth about what senior officials at the FBI and the DOJ were up to during the 2016 election cycle.
How is any American supposed to have confidence in a “law-enforcement” agency whose obvious working policy is to blatantly and repeatedly stonewall efforts by others to discover if laws were violated? It’s an absurd expectation that will only be complied with by those who have been brainwashed to believe anything their government tells them to believe.

When Donald is producing silks and frogs with his right hand and smoke issues from his nose try to focus your attention on his left hand which has the fog around it as it deftly and without undue attention turns knobs and pushes buttons.
Except that failure to honor a congressional subpoena is immediate grounds for Trump to fire the miscreant.
McCabe needs to be Comey’d. Send him off to Albuquerque for a conference and then have his office lock changed, his computers and all other electronic devices confiscated and his credentials removed/deleted and all access shut down.
With one last email from the POTUS...
Dear Andy;
YOU’RE FIRED!
PS: The Russians made me do it...BWAHAHAHAHA!
The jug-eared POS called it “transformation”...
Just remember what all the people pictured in the Deep State Coup Trap chart - with the notable exception of DJT - have in common: they’re all lawyers. The country is being run into the ground by lawyers. Shocking, I know.
Except that failure to honor a congressional subpoena is immediate grounds for Trump to fire the miscreant.
Just because Obama let these things go and supported it in fact, Trump does not have to follow suit.
I’m beginning to believe Hoover kept the crooked politicians in check.
Mutually Assured Destruction theory?
There were very good reasons for the founders to restrict the office to people who are naturally Americans, born here of citizen parents.
Natural born citizen was supposed to exclude the children of foreign nationals who would naturally have divided loyalties and allegiances.
Yep. He kept a safe in his office and only he had the combination. Speculation was that it obtained dirt on powerful people. It’s why president after president continued to reappoint him FBI Director.
By the way, when you listen to the LBJ tapes of him and Johnson, it sounds like he’s the one in charge. LBJ was afraid of him. Johnson knew Hoover was the one person who could bring him down.
Hoover loved America. We could use an FBI director like that today.
Bill Maxwell is turning over in his grave.
yet , The Obama Touch
“Congress is losing its effectiveness in big chunks every time a federal official refuses to testifies and/or defies a subpoena with no consequence.”
Methinks Congress is the enabler, and very comfortable doing what it does. “We the people” be damned. They have produced an extraconstitutional organization designed to fend off the people and maintain their power base regardless of political party. Money and power seem to be the root cause.
“They’re still as deadly as they can be, however “fake” anyone thinks they are.”
Yes, fake is way too mild a word for what they’re doing. Criminals and traitors would do them more justice.
Why Trump puts up with these disloyal, vile underlings is beyond me.
Since Sessions has placed himself in a self induced coma, Trump needs to step forward. Clear out the entire FBI heirachy and put someone in charge to start prosecutions against the Deep State. Mueller is not helping Trump despite various FReeper claims. Mueller knows all these persons(Strzok, Ohr, etc..) are entrenched. Put them under Military Arrest. They are traitors. They are allowed to make their own rules. Enough.
Why hasn’t the subpoena been issued already?
This is insubordination of the highest order.
He’s giving the finger to the republican congress and they’re taking it like wimps.
