Sessions: ‘Significance’ of Comey Error On Clinton Case Not ‘Fully Understood’ [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/18/2017 | Amber Athey

Posted on 10/18/2017 5:07:40 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said during a Senate hearing Wednesday that the errors former FBI director James Comey made in the Hillary Clinton case are still not “fully understood.”

Sessions justified the firing of Director Comey during his testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and asserted that the errors Comey made in the Clinton case were far more devastating than people realize.

“Sen. [Dianne] Feinstein, I don’t think it’s been fully understood the significance of the error that Mr. Comey made on the Clinton matter,” Sessions said. “I don’t think I’ve heard of a situation in which a major case in which Department of Justice prosecutors were involved in an investigation that the investigative agency announces the closure of the investigation.”

“And then a few weeks before this happened, he was testifying before the Congress … and he said he thought he did the right thing and would do it again,” Sessions recalled. “So the Deputy Attorney General [Rod] Rosenstein … said that was a usurpation of the position of the Department of Justice.”

“That is exactly what I was thinking. He is using that ‘newspeak’ of calling the FBI investigation a ‘matter -— the Clinton ‘matter’. The EXACT same phase Comey used as directed by Lynch.”

And this whole time I thought the FBI performed “security reviews.”

That is what Clinton told everyone was going on: a “security review”

That is what the media was saying over and over...

a “security review”

‘Public interest’ does not mean curiosity. It means ‘what would you gain or suffer from what would otherwise be private information?’.

If you’re just curious, you have no ‘legal interest’ in your neighbor’s tax returns. If a court has ruled he owes you money, you may have a real ‘interest’ in seeing his tax returns to see if he can afford to pay you.

I notice McCain has not responded to Trump in the last row.

McCain who thinks he is king of good cop Bad Cop Politics is in the shadows trying to work with his rat buddys.

Trump is a different animal.

He could care less if they all snipe at him.
He has the pulse of the country.

Trump blasted Fredrica Wilson “we be oppressed” today and he was right.

That’s why I said “appears”.

I understand what you’re saying.

I think they might be putting everything in place but that’s going to be almost impossible to keep under wraps.

I’ve been telling FReepers for years. Read the US Army’s Psyops manual, logical fallacies section, written around 1962. You can see the propaganda techniques all politicians use.

They don’t answer the question that was asked. That is LEARNED. They reply with logical fallacies like “affirming the antecedent,” or “glittering generalities” or “post hoc ad hoc propter hoc.” It’s fascinating and frustrating, but enlightening to recognize the manipulation techniques they use on the unsuspecting.

Learn them and no one can bullshit you FReepers!

Sessions chose Rosenstein as DAG. A corrupt Obama stooge.
Sessions recuses himself
Rosenstein appoints special counsel coup to investigate TRUMP/RUSSA ‘collusion’ with no evidence.

After 8 YEARS OF WHOLESALE TREASON & LAWLESSNESS, we finally have a special counsel to investigate an incoming POTUS...Yeah, right

If you believe this was all by chance...Sessions just being a stumble bum, all of these pieces perfectly falling into place for the deep-state...you maybe a maroon.
