It is likely the firing of Comey has less to do with Hillary and more to do with surveillance and leaks of the Trump team, possibly including Trump himself.
There was utter fear pervading Washington when it became obvious Trump would win the Republican nomination and possibly the election. He was threatening gutting agencies and closing down others. He was threatening the status quo. The media set out to destroy him. And there were others in government who felt the same way. Call it the Deep State or whatever, top level officials were more than concerned. Rules were bent especially with the FISA court. According to the Guardian, the UK’s GCHQ did provide information to NSA on the Trump team. The denials from NSA were that it didn’t request the information, but no mention of whether NSA had received any.
When Sessions took over Justice, there were likely high level people who shared information with Sessions either out of honest concern or to clear their names. Sessions is the key man now. He is the one who persuaded the President to fire Comey. He knows where the bodies are buried
The two colluded to arrange to feed Rice raw, anti-Trump material for the express purpose of distributing the CIA's anti-Trump intel via the President's Daily Briefings (PDB's)...... or elsewhere.
As a bonus, Rice got to "unmask" someone.
This was all an arranged game in which Rice colluded to strengthen the Democrats attack against Trump for dear, old Hillary......thereby pumping Rice's bona fides to become Hillary's Secy of State.....and Brennan's desire to hold onto his CIA job.
No leaks of the Comey firing Have we found the leaker? Was he also responsible for wiring Trump? Unmasking private citizens ? Getting FISA warrents? So many questions-— is there one simple answer to all?
Yes, this increases Sessions power and influence considerably.
That is a very good thing.
I believe Comey worked against Trump. Comey’s firing was inevitable.
Part of draining the swamp.
We're still waiting!
Fredo had to go.
That sweet lil’ ol’ Grampa?
“No leaks of the Comey firing Have we found the leaker? Was he also responsible for wiring Trump? Unmasking private citizens ? Getting FISA warrents? So many questions-— is there one simple answer to all?”
I had many replies yesterday on Comedy getting fired, noting that the leaker must have been found and gone.
If Comedy found out that he was fired while talking to FBI agents in LA.
That to many of us showed, the leaker/leakers were gone as well as Comedy.
One and the same ....
I am not so certain the leakers are gone. I think that if there is an important conversation to be had - Trump takes it to someplace outside of the WH, and has a very limited number of people in. As in the “need to know” group and none others. THAT’s how the leaks have been addressed.
Keep it on paper, sealed and hand delivered, is also a way to stop leaks.
Good catch.
And the non-leaking of Comey’s firing sends a message to the leak loving MSM.
No hidden reason he was a cover up master for the democrats.
