There is a clear plan and strategy in place to deal with the schemes of the small group of co-conspirators within the DOJ and FBI. CTH advises prudent patience, and assembly of tar and feathers, as the Machiavellian schemes continue to be untangled.
Tuesday afternoon when FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe travelled to Capitol Hill for his 10-hour closed door testimony and questioning he was accompanied by small group defense shield, FBI legal counsel, James Baker. In front of the House Intelligence Committee, Andy McCabe suddenly couldnt remember his relationship with the Steele Dossier. As a result of Attorney Bakers appearance and specific engagement within the hearing investigators announced yesterday to Baker would be summoned for questioning:
While HPSCI staff would not confirm who will be summoned for testimony, all indications point to demoted DOJ official Bruce G. Ohr and FBI General Counsel James A. Baker, who accompanied McCabe, along with other lawyers, to Tuesdays HPSCI session. (link)
Today, FBI Director Christopher Wray relieved FBI legal counsel James Baker from his responsibilities within the department. The favored MSM outlet for the defense of those within the Trump Operation/conspiratorial plot, rushes to the typeset:
WASHINGTON POST The FBIs top lawyer, James Baker, is being reassigned one of the first moves by new director Christopher A. Wray to assemble his own team of senior advisers as he tries to fend off accusations of politicization within the bureau.
Baker told colleagues he will be taking on other duties at the FBI, according to people familiar with the matter. In recent months, Baker had been caught up in a strange interagency dispute that led to a leak probe and attracted the attention of senior lawmakers, but people familiar with the matter said the probe had recently ended with a decision not ..

My original comment:
I imagine tall trees, taught ropes and legs kicking (for a second or two).
Is that bad?
So these ropes were educated?
Oops. LOL
TAUT!
Hmmmmm.. Is Baker one of the major leakers who plagued Team Trump since day one of his presidency?
Yes, that was my point (I wasn’t clear)
No-one other than the WP has picked up this story...
after 15 hours...
no-one has knocked it down, so it is not wrong,,,
??? They don’t know what the Official Swamp spin is ?
good observation. also, they’ve been quiet about the recent state of emergency declaration by Trump.
There is a 15 foot fuse on the bomb that blows the corrupt Clinton, Obama, FBI, CIA, NSC out of the water. It burns at one foot a month. It has been burning for 13 months.
Bring popcorn.
Will Christmas dinner be popcorn?
I’ve been lamp posts with decorations. The nice thing about DC is the lamp posts are really high. Make for more visibility. ;-)
Hell yeah they are quiet. They figure their goose is cooked already from what they have said before. Their lawyers are reading the EO over and going over all of the previous shows or news articles to see where and when they committed crimes and how to defend against it.
Yep, high treason times in the ol town tonight
Petered out? Looks like a lot of investigations of and by the FBI 'petered out' during the Obama administration and it's aftermath. Hmm!
Did he control the secret email on the DeepWeb
used by S?
or did he protect the Seth Rich murder, as he was paid?
:: the demotion of a major player in this story is striking ::
Also, the strategy of ^keeping^ Baker in the FBI such that he can still be subpoenaed to testify/deposed by Congress.
If he resigned or was released, he wouldn’t have to testify. He would be a plain-ol’ citizen. If he quits because of the reassignment, he announces his guilt.
Yesterday's Emergency EO from President Trump looks none too favorable to Felonia von Pantsuit.
Hillary will go down in history, even if not quite like one Monica Lewinsky.
What's going on with this statement of emergency?

Baker is a close confidant of former FBI Director James Comey, and recent media reports suggested he was reportedly advising the then-FBI director on legal matters following private meetings the former director had in February with President Trump in the Oval Office.
Baker was appointed to the FBI's general counsel by Comey in 2014 and has had a long and distinguished history within the intelligence community.
After working as a federal prosecutor in the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice during the 1990s, he joined the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review In 1996, according to his FBI bio. (https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/pressrel/press-releases/james-a.-baker-appointed-as-fbis-general-counsel).
In 2006 Baker received the George H.W. Bush Award for Excellence in counter-terrorismthe CIAs highest counter-terrorism award, according to his biography.
JUST CURIOUS:
Does Mr. Baker have a spouse?
What is her area of interest?
Seems like all of the players in this coup-game have really interesting spouses and places of employment, like Mrs. Ohr.
This smells like money laundering.........and espionage. We see here.....modern age espionage is done in a hyper-legal way.....with all the IRS forms properly filed, the boxes checked, is dotted and ts crossed. Its all right out in the open.
===========================================
When you look at all the crimes swirling in the DC Swamp, things seems to have been done nonchalantly, lots of evidence left in plain sight. It's b/c "sure-thing" Hillary was not supposed to lose. The Clintons had bought and paid for everything in sight....to assure her win. Yet not even the entire alphabet of butt-protection.....including the MSM, FBI,DNC...... could save the hide of the tainted Hillary.....she is that bad.
=============================================
Fox reported:
<><> (1) Nellie Ohr worked last year for Fusion GPS, which commissioned the salacious anti-Trump dossier.
<><> (2) Fusion's secret police investigated Donald Trump on behalf of "sure-thing" Hillary and the "impartial" DNC.
<><> (3) Fusion was paid indirectly by the Clinton campaign and the DNC.
<><> (4) British ex-spy Christopher Steele and Russian sources put together the salacious dossier.
<><> (5) the phony dossier was likely used by the FBI to fraudulently obtain FISA warrants to surveil Team Trump.
========================================
ANALYSIS The nefarious nature of the so called Russian dossier has come to light, and perpetrators of its salacious (lewd and crude) allegations against President Trump shown for the slanderous falsehoods that they always were. The perps all look like denizens of a Third World banana republic rather than a world-class republic.
Potential charges include:
<><> conspiracy to file false FEC discloses regarding payment to the Russians,
<><> making-up slanderous untrue allegations,
<><> participating in a slanderous action as the basis for a FISA warrant,
<><> filing false affidavits to the FiSA court,
<><> wire-tapping a candidate during an election,
<><>tapping phones at Trump's business/residence
<><> money-laundering, tax evasion.
