Top Comey lawyers Lisa Page and Peter Baker suddenly leaving their sinking FBI ship.

In a move likely related to the pending release of the inspect general's report on the DOJ and FBI, the two top lawyers who served James Comey suddenly decided to find paychecks from other sources and have left their jobs at the FBI.

There are more mysteries than facts available on the move at this time. The P.R. spin is that both "resigned," but that could well mask an ultimatum to resign or be fired.

Baker already has lined up a job that would seem put him in opposition to Trump and the prosecution, he would be joining the Brookings Institution to write for Lawfare.

The Lawfare group has been involved in coaching the FBI-DOJ plotters on implementing the "insurance policy" – i.e., the Russia collusion fairy tale.

I agree, and now this:

An FBI official says the bureau is not working to collect messages between anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, despite the request to do so from a top Republican senator as well as evidence suggesting they communicated about “work-related” matters on non-FBI accounts.

I guess they are all above the law.

Don’t worry everybody! Sessions has warrants written up as we speak and indictments about to be handed down! In between episodes of Andy Griffith.

One of the democrat megafirms will probably make a place for them.

“Sinking FBI ship” is exactly right. The FBI has been outed as a political organization, specifically a Democrat organization. FBI investigations and FBI testimony just lost much of their former credibility.

Dissolve the fbi (or is that fib?). It is beyond corrupt...it is criminal.

Dissolve the fbi

After the Bay of Pigs, JFK said he wanted to "splinter the C.I.A. in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds."

A couple of years later, JFK scattered to the winds.

There’a a history. People with their background get partnerships in the big multinational law/lobbying firms at several million per year.

Don’t be fooled. A lot of those senior jobs in places like the FBI and DOJ turn over with any new agency head, not just when the presidential administration switches parties. Law/lobbyist job offers are just too good to pass up once their bureaucrat careers are interrupted at all.

Be very careful. The Clintonistas are about to work up a few suicides over the recent job loss depression you are experiencing.
