Hanson: The country is about to witness an investigatory train wreck
San Jose Mercury News ^ | April 26th, 2018 | By Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 04/26/2018 4:25:31 PM PDT by Mariner

The country is about to witness an investigatory train wreck.

In one direction, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation train is looking for any conceivable thing that President Donald Trump’s campaign team might have done wrong in 2016.

The oncoming train is slower but also larger. It involves congressional investigations, Department of Justice referrals and inspector general’s reports — mostly focused on improper or illegal FBI and DOJ behavior during the 2016 election.

Why are the two now about to collide?

By charging former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI, Mueller emphasized that even the appearance of false testimony is felonious behavior.

If that is so, then the DOJ will likely have to charge former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe with perjury or related offenses. A report from the Office of the Inspector General indicates that McCabe lied at least four times to federal investigators.

Former FBI Director James Comey may also have lied to Congress when he testified that he had not written his report on the Hillary Clinton email scandal before interviewing Clinton. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan lied under oath to Congress on matters related to surveillance.

Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin likely lied when they told FBI investigators they had no idea that their then-boss, Hillary Clinton, was using an illegal private email server. Both had communicated with Clinton about it.

"Neither Trump nor Sessions are doing anything serious to investigate the Clinton campaign or the political corruption in the FBI and DOJ."

“Their hate for Trump consumes them.”

It’s the damndest thing I ever saw.

It would be comical if it were not dangerous.

I blame the University-Media Complex. And, the generally stupid amongst us who believe everything those folks spew.

Re: “Did you get any schooling at all?”

The American education system is controlled by Hard Left teacher unions and Hard Left professors with life time tenure.

Everything I know about political reality, I learned at Free Republic...

Please bring me up to date on the “serious” things Trump and Sessions are doing to investigate the Clinton campaign and the political corruption at the DOJ and FBI.

Thanks.

There are so many things that are dripping out daily because of the way Trump, Sessions and others are playing this thing.

Here is just one that I just posted:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/27/house-intel-committee-releases-final-report-on-active-russia-measures/#more-148593

House Intel Committee Releases Final Report on Active Russia Measures…

____________

There are some initially revealing aspects to the release including: revelations that DNI James Clapper was a leaker to CNN about the Steele Dossier content and Presidential Briefing;

<<<<<<< and that Former Dianne Feinstein staff raised $50 million after the election to continue funding Fusion-GPS and Christopher Steele>>>>>>>>

.. the revelations of Senator Dianne Feinstein participating in the overall post-election scheme to deploy the insurance policy [SEE HERE] do answer a nagging question that always seemed to lay quietly below the surface.

During 2016 Senator Feinstein was part of the Gang of Eight by way of her position as vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. It always seemed odd that Feinstein gave up that position immediately following the 2016 presidential election.

There was something about Feinstein’s abdication that appeared to be a move to diminish risk. With the discovery that her top staff was actually involved in close coordination with Fusion-GPS, Christopher Steele and the advancement of the Russian conspiracy/collusion narrative, Feinstein’s move to create distance after the election makes sense.

(jmo) If you are patient good things just may happen. This is not easy.

Re: “House Intel Committee Releases Final Report on Active Russia Measures...”

Great.

A Congressional investigation that started almost one year ago, and during which the DOJ and FBI completely ignored multiple subpoenas from Congress, even though DOJ and FBI are under the direct executive control of Trump and Sessions!

Trump is the Chief Executive Officer of the DOJ and FBI. He can declassify and release ANY document in the Executive Branch of government. For instance, a year ago, Trump could have released ALL documents and ALL transcripts related to the FISA Petitions and FISA Warrants against the Trump campaign.

Instead, Trump has done nothing of consequence to defend himself.

I voted for Trump because I thought he was a fighter.

He seems incapable of understanding that when you give the political Left one millimeter of tolerance, they will try to rip your scrotum off.

The People are now besieged by a criminal syndicate of liberal fascists :” Mueller, FBI and DOJ etc.”) They apply the law much differently to their own than to the supporters of president Trump ( deplorables.). IN doing so, they seek to deny the electoral will of the People who elected PDJT according to law.

Its time to eject Mueller and prosecute the criminal racketeers at DOJ and FBI. Roll up their sordid net of RICO statute violators.
