Who Will Police the Police: The Comey Testimonies
American Greatness ^ | June 10,2017 | Victor Davis Hanson

This is an Orwellian argument—given:

(1) that it is becoming clear that almost all scurrilous rumors about Donald Trump were leaked to the press by the FBI and other federal agencies—while exculpatory facts, such as that Comey was not investigating Donald Trump, were not leaked;

(2) that Comey had in fact previously repeatedly done just the opposite of what he said he could not do in the Trump case—namely that he had first disclosed publicly that Hillary Clinton was no longer the subject of a “matter” (in obedience to Loretta Lynch’s mandatory euphemism aimed at helping the Clinton campaign), then later amended that public admission by saying that she was, in fact, again under renewed investigation, and then amending again that amendment by stating that she was no longer a subject of an investigation. In other words, there was no such FBI policy of prudently keeping silent on the progress of an investigation;

3) that any American citizen in theory could be a future target of any theoretical investigation; but, of course, that fact is no reason for a federal agency to fail to concede that it is not conducting an ongoing federal investigation of said citizen being battered by press leaks and unfounded allegations—unless the aim of a federal agency was to spread doubt about its intentions and thereby cast a prejudicial cloud of suspicion over an individual not under investigation. In Comey’s world, we can all live under a cloud of future investigations, should a mum FBI wink and nod, bob and weave to the press and public about whether we are currently under an investigation—as we are libeled and smeared.

Who Will Police the Police: The Comey Testimonies

After investigating the clintons and their cronies and observing their tactics, Comey thinks he's also in the DC privileged class that is "above the law".

“In sum, we are now in revolutionary times.”

that from Mr. VDH, not one prone to hyperbole.

Terrific article! This should be sent by all of us to everyone we know.

The corruption of the Deep State and the demented behaviors of Comey, et al., are a danger to us all.

Who Will Police the Police

The President has the power to appoint and direct the AG and FBI. Trump and Sessions should be firing hundreds of deep state operatives in the AG, FBI and other federal agencies. Their failing to do so does not bode well for the administration and the republic. Also, it was a huge mistake to appoint Mueller as Special Counsel - he is a friend of Comey - he is the enemy.

Keep praying!

I firmly believe the Comey KNEW that they knew about him leaking the memo to the college professor.

That is why he admitted it. It was very silly and stupid thing to have to admit.

But he knew that they already knew, and he would have been subject to perjury if he denied it (or looked like an absolute moron with a ‘gotcha’ question)

Great Read.

VDH neatly outlines the key points of the swamp's subversion of Trump and of the country.

The Chief Executive polices the FBI.

Congress polices the president.

The people police congress and the president.
