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.

Well worth reading! Especially, the first half, which explains the timeline of Dem/FBI malfeasance.

And that’s why DiGenova will be the lead dog.

Good outline to remind us all.

Much of the public has tuned this out just as they tune out much of the Russia/Russia/Russia stuff (thankfully).

The level of public awareness is very poor.

The Russia Russia Russia thing is white noise to most. I believe that is why they are going with the three whores non stop now.

They also think they’re guiltless, so there’s that.

Since this was published in February 2018 from Genova's speech in January 2018, Jeff Sessions has said publicly in a TV interview with Fox News, that he has already appointed a DOJ prosecutor to work with Horowitz and who has the authority to order grand juries and seek indictments.

This person was appointed last summer Sessions said. I don't think their name has been revealed. I believe some indictments have already been handed down and remain sealed. They will be announced after the full IG report is released.

There is good stuff going on to get these bad players in the FBI and DOJ. We're just impatient becasue Sessions is not making public announcements every other day about the progress.

I believe he is doing this, one, because it's his style as a prosecutor to begin with and, two, so he can spring the trap on as many bad guys as possible without spooking them into running for the hills and lawyering up beforehand.

This mess is going to turn out better than many people, including many on FR, expected. Sessions has been busy working below the radar doing his job, just not giving regular press conferences for our benefit.

Exactly. See my post #12 on this thread above.

My understanding is that Joe was brought on board by Trump specifically for when this whole OIG report unfolds.

Read the whole article if you haven't. Very well done and comprehensive. Joe knows his stuff.

Trump will be well-served by diGenova.

the color of law..lolol

Is that why they acted as they have?

Following laws or just making them up and breaking them at will as they see fit?

Deep staters unite.. Protect your covens.. under the color of law.

It’s always nice to see an optimist on the forum.

Sessions does not want to go down in history as the worst most inept AG ever.

Janet Reno has that one sewed up tight.. or has for quite some time. Holder gets runner up.

Oh, maybe you're talking about the Democrat judge-whore Jenny "Schecky Loves A Gangbang" Schecter...

Wonder if Jenny does porn on the side?

Yep, she's a Democrat whore, Jenny is.

The Media & Google is trying to hide it, but it's there if you dig deep enough.

"Democrat Rules Against Trump"

Not "judge rules against Trump"....
