Trump Zeroes In on Abedin, Comey; Says DOJ Should 'Act'

President Trump on Tuesday seemingly called for the Justice Department to look into Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s former aide, and James Comey, former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols,” he wrote on Twitter. “She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”

Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents.

The comments come after a report published Monday by the Daily Caller said Abedin forwarded State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her private email account on Yahoo before it was hacked. Their analysis was based on emails obtained by Judicial Watch as part of a lawsuit.

Abedin, the top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, used her insecure personal email provider to conduct sensitive work. This guarantees that an account with high-level correspondence in Clinton’s State Department was impacted by one or more of a series of breaches — at least one of which was perpetrated by a “state-sponsored actor.”

The U.S. later charged Russian intelligence agent Igor Sushchin with hacking 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The initial hack occurred in 2014 and allowed his associates to access accounts into 2015 and 2016 by using forged cookies. Sushchin also worked for the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which paid former President Bill Clinton $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow.

A separate hack in 2013 compromised three billion accounts across multiple Yahoo properties, and the culprit is still unclear. “All Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft,” the company said in a statement. (DC)

According to an FBI report, Abedin regularly forward government emails to her Yahoo account.

“She would use these accounts if her (State) account was down or if she needed to print an email or document. Abedin further explained that it was difficult to print from the DoS system so she routinely forwarded emails to her non-DoS accounts so she could more easily print,” the report states.

In August 2009, the emails forwarded to her private account included one that contained password information for her government laptop.

Comey said in 2016 that emails of Clinton associated had been compromised.

“We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private email accounts of individuals with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her private account,” he said.

Sessions has his hands full on all fronts, and is assumably building an airtight case. This takes time.

The case against Lois Lerner was airtight but he decided he couldn't get a conviction.

The government has an unwritten rule that the outgoing administration gets a blanket amnesty. Has been the practice for as long as I have been alive.

Most here really thought that GW was going after all those Clintonites that trashed the White House when they left, he didn't.

Kas the optimism comes from YouTubers. Go to YouTube and search for Qanon or 4chan and watch a few of the links that come up, they believe that Trump is going to arrest 10 or 20 thousand deep staters and ship them to Gitmo. Mueller and Sessions are involved in bringing all this about in a secret 4D chess move.

Trump gives a fish time to swallow the bait before setting the hook.

***************
But if you wait too long, the fish will steal your bait and leave you with an empty hook. ;)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

or the fish will swallow it hook line and sinker & end up gut hooked.

I’m not getting his refusal to directly call Sessions and ask him what the hell his problem is

Don't you think he's already done that?

The President is taking to Twitter to force Sessions to either act or resign. The office of Attorney General is being held hostage by the Deep State, who have something on Sessions.

‘I think she’d martyr herself for Hillary.’

Correct. Huma knows about Arkancide. Hillary’s secrets are safe with her.

Liberals also exclusively control the news. There is no alternative to CNN, the NYT, WaPo, etc.

Have you noticed? It’s not 1970 any more. Things have changed. Now conservatives write history too—and our books sell while theirs don’t.

I’ve been thinking that too. We will see.

No, Huma will not sing. She will have some kind of tragedy that will silence her asap if she is even apprehended or seems worried, that is, if she is even sticking around today after Trump’s tweet. Isn’t she free as a bird to leave the country? (And I don’t think she cares much about her kid. She left him with her Weiner boy whilst staying available for Hillary all day and night)

I don’t get this tweet... does he not understand that his hand-sitting Attorney General works for him and is a phone call away?


And with your screen name, too. So clearly Trump is signaling someone other than Sessions. Us? What is he really saying? I know there is much palace intrigue but I am not sure which players are on which sides.

A good fisherman has experience, uses the right bait, carefully feels the action on the line, reads the fish. It’s kinda like doing a deal. Or playing poker. When he knows it’s time — GOTCHA! For keeps.

God bless President Trump! Drain the swamps! MAGA!
