2 F.B.I. Officials, Once Key Advisers to Comey, Leave the Bureau

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 bureau’s history resigned on Friday.

One of them, James A. Baker, was one of Mr. Comey’s 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 Trump’s 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.

Each day as more of the DOJ/FBI attempted coup of President Trump is revealed.

The more valid and outstanding is Travis McGee's jpg, which told us what was happening in the DOJ/FBI months before all of these emerging reports.

Months, ago Travis Mcgee started posting his Smug Thug shots of the seditionist thugs in the DOJ/FBI shown below.

The purge continues. Many to go and the DoD is starting to go through the same thing.

I'd say the IG report is leaking.

And don't kid yourself, Comey is behind all 3 curtains.....working diligently against President Trump.

Do you write fairy tales for a living? The IG report will drop as close to summer as possible. The beltway GOP will huff and puff for a couple weeks. Throw some red meat to the base. Then go on summer vacation. Nothing will happen. Sorry.

Mattis is canning some high ranking civilians and political appointees that are the SES and Asst Sec Def level. The stench of OBuggery and the NWO is being removed.

IG Horowitz doesn’t have a rep as an anal Mueller type.

No Kidding. It's like embezzling millions from a company and then being asked to merely clean out your desk and leave.

The GOP has been infiltrated (and yes, that's the right word) for decades. It was and remains part of the plan. This is why they fail us.

If you doubt this, just remember that a duly elected President is currently under a coup attempt that involves people within his own party, a significant number of people within the intelligence agencies, and that Mueller and Rosenstein have characterized themselves as ‘Republicans’. This is all just the tip of the ice berg. If the country is to be saved, it is going to take 10,000 more Trumps (outsiders not under the control of the system), systemically eradicating the vermin at all levels of government.

Not a purge. They left or were escorted out by swamp so they can take the 5th when the time comes.

Love the picture of Don Vito in this article. It only emphasizes what we are seeing happen.

Calling 2 resignations a “purge”, who are you kidding? For a real a purge, look at what Pruitt has done to the EPA.

Wray has obstructed as he can any release of document demanded by the oversight committees and has done nothing to cleanse the FBI.
He has proven to be as incompetent and weak as Sessions.
There has been NO purge and as long as these two snakes remain in power, the farce will continue.
