WASHINGTON Two top F.B.I. aides who worked alongside the former director James B. Comey as he navigated one of the most politically tumultuous periods in the bureaus history resigned on Friday.
One of them, James A. Baker, was one of Mr. Comeys closest confidants. He served as the F.B.I.s top lawyer until December when he was reassigned as the new director, Christopher A. Wray, began installing his own advisers. Mr. Baker had been investigated by the Justice Department on suspicion of sharing classified information with reporters. He has not been charged.
The other aide, Lisa Page, advised Mr. Comey while serving directly under his deputy, Andrew G. McCabe. She was assailed by conservatives after texts that she had exchanged with the agent overseeing the investigation into links between President Trumps campaign and Russia were made public. In the messages, they expressed anti-Trump views but took aim at Hillary Clinton and other political figures as well.

There has been more than two buddy and I know people in the agency . There is more than what you see going out the door. Everything that is going on does not always end up in print or sound bytes.
“There has been more than two buddy and I know people in the agency . “
Yeah, and these people in the agency are trying to bamboozle you.
No they are not. They are personal friends who I have known for a long time. Keep reading my tagline until it sinks in. you are delusional and also are likely a troll.
DoD is starting to go through the same thing
I am hoping DoD stays out of this, but the conspirators may very well be in too deep. Kinetic action is their next logical move.
DoD purge is going on at the civilian level. I was in the Pentagon on Thursday and found this out.
The DoD purge is necessary. The officer corps started getting purged when Dumford came in as Joint Chiefs Chairman. One of my friends who I grew up with was an 06 who was a OBozo lover and on the fast track to get promoted to general got the axe a few months before the 2016 election. Heard it was due to his politics.
THAT happens all the time! Senior management of companies fear the loss of faith (and face) of their shareholders, which drives the share price down. Since their bonuses are in large part, driven by share price, details of serious malfeasance are often hidden. Generally, only small scale malfeasance hits the media.
Similarly, small scale malfeasance by government types, caught and reported, makes for good press and positive reflection on the elected officials. The depth of malfeasance by the Deep State is so severe that a full reporting of it would come close to ruining the America ‘brand’ and faith in the US. Too many people in government and the press have been ‘wetting their beak’ for too long.
I do not believe for one minute, that everyone involved will be charged but, like post-war Germany, the ‘head’ will eventually be severed and the ‘tentacles’ will be allowed to quietly resign. In fact, I think this is what is now starting to happen.
Unfortunately, journOlists generally, are not smart enough to yet see this and still carry water for the crooks in Washington. Eventually, realizing that they are on the wrong side of history, some will change. Others like Dan Rather, will be forced to retire.
I understand the pessimism of many FReepers. I just dont agree. For everything there is a season and I believe this is a season of change.
I don’t care about the pessimism of many Freepers. Those outside of the conflict are ignorant to what is really going on and their comments are rooted in perception. All I can say is that many powerful Americans decided a few years back decided a few years ago to begin a season of change and have embarked on such a mission.
Well well well
See the worm turning
See Spot go
See Lisa go
See Baker go
Next up?
If these are key figures, that explains a lot.
As did many not so powerful American voters!
I know we did!! :-) But it takes the efforts of the powerful to sponsor and provide exposure. I say we all worked well together.
We invite all patriots to join.
Btw, this is one crappy article. Tons of facts condemning these people have been omitted.
Two more Rat party plants leave before the prosecutor arrives.
don’t kid yourself, Comey is behind all 3 curtains.....working diligently against President Trump. “”
Comey is just another grunt crooked lawyer. The Clinton/Obama crime families and the DNC are the coup leaders calling the shots.
Speculating on the future is nothing but that. Most of us do not follow the palm readers. The Obama Clinton crime families and their DNC judges, lawyers, and allies are running the show. Helping the DNC by attacking their opponents is not helping Trump.
Finally a voice of reason. Salute! Too many freepers think if the media doesn’t report, it never happened.
