FBI-gate: The Outlines of the Story Are Coming into Focus
American Thinker.com ^ | February 13, 2018 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 02/13/2018 11:50:21 AM PST by Kaslin

Thanks to the work of smart and hardworking (non-mainstream) journalists, we can peek just a bit over the horizon and see where the story of the weaponization of the FBI via a senior-level cabal is going from here. I use the word "story" deliberately, because that is the way public opinion forms itself on major political affairs. The progressives in the media and politics have long understood this. The cast of the story is now set, and some dramatic plot points have been identified. The ending hasn't been written yet, of course, but the villains are identifying themselves or being exposed, and some of the heroes are emerging. We are on the cusp of a drama much bigger than Watergate breaking open, and its story elements are compelling.

In the calm before the storm breaks, the mainstream media and the Democrat attack squad from the House Intel committee [i] are in the midst of utterly discrediting themselves. Once the story breaks into the open, indictments will be handed down, and the witnesses, hostile and cooperating, will be heard in hearings and in court. They have worked together to cover up and distract from the story, but the truth will out, and now it is becoming clear how that will happen.

The fake controversy over the ten-page Schiff memo is keeping the morale of the #resistance crowd up, but Schiff himself will go down in history as the guy who kicked sand in the eyes of the investigators. All that media effort in pushing the phony narrative of Russia collusion will make them into dupes and laughingstocks, once the solid evidence is brought to light that a conspiracy to push that phony narrative was run with key members of the Clinton machine working hand in glove with the cabal.

.....the Obama admin intel staff, and the upper level of the FBI were pretty arrogant.....they didn't cover much of their tracks.....

That's b/c they were sure Hillary would win....she would sweep it all under the Oval Office rug.

After the infamous #Clinton-#Lynch tarmac meeting, docs obtained by Judicial Watch show the #FBI worked to cover it up.

Emails show the FBI's leaders seemed concerned not about the meeting itself, but instead about the whistleblower who got the word out.

(HAT TIP SEMANTIC) Almost all of the evidence is in. The Obama admin was engaged in:

<><> full spectrum surveillance,

<><> massive civil rights violations,

<><> wide ranging plots to weaken the nation's defenses

<><> sales of state secrets,

<><> sales of critical resources,

<><> simultaneously enriching themselves,

<><> undermining the safety and security of Americans.

Summing up...... espionage, a capital crime.

Amen! Still, somehow, we are all still holding together, with Trump, to block the gates.

Amazing.

I want to see heads roll

That would be indicative of a poorly trained executioner. A good hangman can accurately calculate the weight, mass, distance and perhaps wind speed to ensure a nice, clean drop & snap.

It would really be quite unpleasant to experience a head being ripped off and spewing blood all over the place. We should desire a clean and orderly process for the public executions to be held on the national Mall.

For some of us, it has been crystal clear for quite some time.............................

Yep. Here it is soup to nuts:

Hillary: Barry, this guy may win. We need to set up an innocent man, kind of like we did with the guy we set up for the Libya video.
BroncoBama: Ok, as long as you continue destroying the country as I have started. I'll give Comey and Mueller a call.

There is enough evidence that a crime has been committed to convene a grand jury(ies).

AG Sessions, do your job.

Another good Kaslin catch.

Many of my old partners are still in practice in DC. They confirm this has progressed from the “Circle the Wagons” phase, to the “Lawyer Up” phase.

Right now, all the players are trying to figure out who they can tell what, so they don’t get buried when all the sheet flows downhill. We’re probably about a month or two, maybe three away from proffers.

Right now, their thoughts have gone from “Winning” to “Losing Less”. It’s not just losing jobs and pensions; it’s the becoming radioactive and missing out on that $500K a year retirement job on K Street, not getting a tee time at Burning Tree, and a lousy table at Fiola Mare.

And of course, former federal LEOs do not do well at Club Fed.

So right now, the focus is on ensuring they are not the last man standing when the music stops!!!

Sounds nice, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

The most important gap is just what did the FBI learn from their surveillance?

Think "If the facts are on your side, pound the facts into the table. If the law is on your side, pound the law into the table. If neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound the table."

Someone on Rush Limbaugh ‘s show suggested that Q was General Flynn. Rush said he didn’t know but couldn’t change the subject fast enough. If true, it would make sense. I always thought it was somone supporting Flynn because of the crooked shaft he got.

Putting the previous President and his gang in prison is the type thing banana republics do. On the other hand, ALMOST everyone who is paying attention knows that Hillary and Hussein have committed major felonies.

To balance out the above, the investigations will have to proceed far past what is reasonable to establish the RATS guilt. In this case, we are going to need to see blood in the streets as citizen DEMAND prosecution.

Then, and only then, will the Nuremberg type trials proceed. This step is a big deal.

If Rosenstein was ethical he would not have picked Mueller (good friend of Comey's) as special counsel, and if Mueller was ethical he would have refused the appointment.

Picking Mueller was about the same as if Janet Reno had picked Hillary to investigate the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

The point of the story is that there is one bird that hasn’t chirped, or leaked, or been heard from, or mentioned throughout all this and his name is Bill Priestap

Oh, he's now become the John Dean of Obamagate. If you are really smart in a conspiracy, you have to get out front and be the first canary to sing or you will go down with the rest of the pack.

Mueller is trying to postpone the General Flynn hearing for as long as possible because he knows Judge Emmet Sullivan is going to take a huge chunk out of is ass for violating Flynn's constitutional rights under Brady v. Maryland.

Flynn is going to sue the federal government and get every dime back he spent on his defense and at least a million for the violations of his constitutional rights.

Once Judge Sullivan is done with Mueller, Mueller will resign or Sessions will be forced to fire him.
