DOJ: Key FBI Brass Flip on McCabe & Comey; High-Level Officials Testify Against Fired FBI Chiefs
TRUEPUNDIT ^ | 4/25/2018 | Investigative Bureau

Posted on 04/25/2018 10:55:22 PM PDT by bitt

The inner circle of James Comey and Andrew McCabe on the 7th Floor of FBI HQ has flipped, according to high level Justice Department officials.

The once-loyal cabal of FBI brass and leaders who reigned during the FBI tenures of Comey and McCabe have been testifying against their former bosses, DOJ sources confirm.

For now at least that cooperation involves cooperation with the Inspector General. Soon, that would likely extend to grand juries, according to sources.

In law enforcement circles, these players are referred to as Rats, cops who implicate other cops to save their jobs and pensions. So who is ratting on Comey and McCabe and cooperating with the proceedings against each?

FBI Counterintelligence Head Bill Priestap is the biggest fish, federal law enforcement sources said. And he is a key player here. His cooperation spells trouble for McCabe and likely Comey too.

“Last guy I would have thought would cooperate is cooperating,” one high-ranking Justice official said about Priestap. “He knows about everything the IG is looking at because he was involved in it all.”

The Justice official called Priestap’s cooperation “devastating” especially to McCabe. The source would not elaborate. McCabe realized this when he banked over $500K on a GoFundMe campaign for upcoming legal fees.

Priestap was Peter Strzok’s boss and Priestap answered directly to McCabe.

Strzok is now cooperating with the Inspector General as well as Lisa Page, the FBI lawyer and former right-hand associate of McCabe. She too is talking along with Strzok, sources confirm.

It would appear that the FBI’s house — built by Comey and McCabe — is coming down, one brick at a time. But flipping Priestap takes out a cornerstone, no doubt.

And not soon enough.

Priestap went ghost at the very beginning of the coup exposure so I’m sure most FReepers thought there was something going on with him

Anonymous sources.

This is the same IG that wouldn’t name the DOJ Official who demanded four separate Clinton Foundation Investigations be stopped and disbanded?

When they raid Comey’s Professor boy, let me know. Just a little action

When a site like HuffPo comes out with a story that spokesmen or sources within DoJ say Manafort and Cohen are telling all most here at FR are more than skeptical, we’re mocking. Why should we believe spokesmen and sources here? Just because the article says what we want to hear? I think back many years when a reporter asked rocket scientist Willy Ley what he thought of all the UFO sightings in the early 50s. “Show me wreckage, machinery, bodies...then we’ll talk.”

I would like to think that, but maybe it’s as simple as them wanting to save their own asses. Maybe they feel lying under oath, is probably not to their advantage. Maybe they also feel that they are less likely than before, of committing Arkancide.

The Leftist media was salivating at the thought of Trump men flipping. They never considered the fact that FBI employees can flip, too.

Ruh Roh....Shaggy!!!

You just know that this cabal walked around the DOJ and FBI, like their sh*t didn’t stink, treated everyone like sh*t and routinely sabotaged and destroyed people’s careers.

Payback is a bitch.

I’ve been waiting for this Priestap chit to hit the fan. Yeah, if he’s what I think he is, he knows everything about the biggest criminal conspiracy in the history of this country.

This guy needs to ride around in a Brinks truck and wear kevlar clothes.

If this does not all result in the indictments of both Clinton and Obama, then it is a major failure of justice.

I do not expect either one to be indicted.

Since Priestap still has his job seems to me to suggest that he was a witness and not an active participant. I think it is likely the frame job was being micromanaged by people higher up the ladder.

the silence from Priestap over the last months was very revealing. i read somewhere that he was a key player so if he flipped that would be big - very big.

No they won’t. One has pigment protection. The other one has Arkancide protection.
