Patrick Byrne: "National Security State Was Weaponized," Comey Involved
CUOMO: You're giving them anonymity now, but I heard you say on FOX, if you go put a camera in Jim Comey's face and say the name Patrick Byrne, you're not going to like the reaction he gets.BYRNE: That's the Z. That's Mr. Z.
CUOMO: So you believe that Jim Comey knew that you were being asked to do these things in the name of the United States government?
BYRNE: Not only knew. I was specifically told, this request is coming from Jim Comey at the request of somebody, who I'm not going to name. Do not assume it is the president. Do not assume it was President Obama. Do not assume that.
It wouldn't even make sense for Obama to be directly involved. Comey reported to Yates at the time, and it's possible Lynch gave the order directly.
Hmm... "someone who shall not be named."
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham confirmed Wednesday that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will testify in front of the committee.
The South Carolina Republican predicted Horowitz will give “chilling testimony” in front of the committee about his highly anticipated report on potential abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act once the report is public.
