I imagine tall trees, taught ropes and legs kicking (for a second or two).

Is that bad?

[Reno89519]

That place is infested. Fire them all. And do so in a manner that (1) all get disbarred and (2) all lose their government pensions.

[Rastus]

Is this the same James Baker from the Nixon/Reagan/Bush presidencies? Time for this 87-year-old to disappear into retirement. Will these freaks ever give up their lust for power?

[lodi90]

Hard to read. CTH needs a copy editor.

[Reverend Wright]

Fifteen hours later, no other major media has picked up this story.

Odd.

I doubt it is wrong or it would have already been denied by Wray’s Office.

The lack of media interest in the demotion of a major player in this story is striking.

[jonrick46]

This is James A. Baker. He even looks like a weasel:

[CivilWarBrewing]

Hmmmmm.. Is Baker one of the major leakers who plagued Team Trump since day one of his presidency?

[cpdiii]

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.

[Diogenesis]

Did he control the secret email on the DeepWeb
used by S?

or did he protect the Seth Rich murder, as he was paid?

Background on James A. Baker--

SOURCE: https://www.circa.com/story/2017/07/27/politics/a-top-fbi-lawyer-is-allegedly-under-an-investigation-for-leaking-classified-information-to-the-media

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-terrorism—the CIA’s highest counter-terrorism award, according to his biography.

(HAT TIP MAROON) Fusion is taking in millions from DNC and the Russians (they were also on contract to the Russians).Fusion (apparently) rec'd $9 million ....and apparently paid a hundred grand to Steele. So where did the rest of the money go?

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, i’s dotted and t’s 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.

———prudent patience, and assembly of tar and feathers-——

What??? Of course not.

It’s far better to just feel good and spew the Free Republic anti Sessions dogma.

Patience? humbug!

What is it with these managers and their kid glove approach? Here we have as clear a picture as possible that an internal coup has and continues to take place and the best that Wray and the other FBI and DoJ managers can do is “reassign” the coup's counsel to another Bureau desk so he can continue to operate internally. I know polygraphs are still being used routinely throughout the intelligence community so why have they not announced that these crooks will be polygraphed? In addition, I read the other day that there is a newly developed AI device that observes several different facial and voice characteristics and boasts a 90% accurate rate on lie detecting.

[Albion Wilde]

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.

"fend off accusations of politicization"? Why not "clean out alleged corruption"?

[Pollard]

>>he will be taking on other duties at the FBI<<

What duties?

Maybe another mug shot for your pictorial expose of DOJ/FBI thugs.
