The Politicization of the FBI (Joe diGenova)
imprimis.hillsdale.edu ^ | 2/2018 | JOE DIGENOVA

Posted on 03/22/2018 11:26:45 AM PDT by bitt

The following is adapted from a speech delivered on January 25, 2018, at Hillsdale College’s Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C., as part of the AWC Family Foundation Lecture Series.

Over the past year, facts have emerged that suggest there was a plot by high-ranking FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials in the Obama administration, acting under color of law, to exonerate Hillary Clinton of federal crimes and then, if she lost the election, to frame Donald Trump and his campaign for colluding with Russia to steal the presidency. This conduct was not based on mere bias, as has been widely claimed, but rather on deeply felt animus toward Trump and his agenda.

In the course of this plot, FBI Director James Comey, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI Deputy Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, Strzok’s paramour and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, FBI General Counsel James Baker, and DOJ senior official Bruce Ohr—perhaps among others—compromised federal law enforcement to such an extent that the American public is losing trust. A recent CBS News poll finds 48 percent of Americans believe that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia collusion probe is “politically motivated,” a stunning conclusion. And 63 percent of polled voters in a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll believe that the FBI withheld vital information from Congress about the Clinton and Russia collusion investigations.

Unless of course he resigns at some point. I read today USA, Reuters, WSJ that Pres Trump said he would be willing to testify under oath to Mueller. He does this and they will nail him. Just stupid.

Good things come to those who wait.

Being negative about a situation doesn't solve anything. Nothing.

But being positive at least gives us hope that this could turn out in our favor.

Make no mistake, other than my gut and doing my own research online (I don't watch cable TV or local news or read a newspaper), so I have no inside line on how the future will turn out.

But at age 70, I've been around the block enough times to know that something is going on behind the scenes other than what it appears and other than what we are being told. Sessions has not been rocking away on the front porch, napping for over a year.

Sessions is an Eagle Scout. So am I. He will do the right thing and do what needs to be done. He has not been asleep at the switch. It's not in his nature, contrary to all of his harping critics.
