Top Intel Dem warns Republicans: Don't try to out FBI source
The Hill ^ | Max Greenwood - 05/18/18 | Max Greenwood - 05/18/18

Posted on 05/18/2018 7:24:22 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) warned Republican lawmakers on Friday not to expose the identity of top-secret FBI informant, saying that to do so would be "irresponsible" — and potentially illegal.

"It would be at best irresponsible, and at worst potentially illegal, for members of Congress to use their positions to learn the identity of an FBI source for the purpose of undermining the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in our election," Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement.

"Anyone who is entrusted with our nation’s highest secrets should act with the gravity and seriousness of purpose that knowledge deserves," he added.

The FBI source will be “outed” by deep state intelligence operatives then tweped by foreign intelligence. Trump will be blamed and the source silenced. A twofer.

With the deck stacked (by a bunch of retards, thankfully), they’re losing. MSM hammering away every day. Obvious, observable facts are against them EVERY time. Some of us (most surely) have known for decades, the whole Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise.

Full stop.

I’m hard-pressed to imagine even George Washington, Larger than Life, could have endured what our current POTUS has. This is saying a lot inasmuch as Washington was up against really impossible odds

Staggering privations for his army for years. No money, Little food or provision. You’ve taken on the greatest power on Earth. And have all sorts of imaginings how this could go poorly for if that power prevails.

In 1998, I was a young ‘un by FReeper standards. Hard to believe it’s been twenty years. Painful in the extreme how many amazing people we’ve lost.

Our best are always called Home. Their lessers do their best in their stead.

By what really must be attributed to Providence, we have Donald Trump. The only champion who could pull us back (for NOW at least) from the brink.

With lips like those, Warner could suck a tennis ball through a garden hose! Or attach himself to Obama’s hind end like a human remora!

Warner just blew up the latest media maneuver. The media has started to say maybe there wasn’t a spy. Warner confirmed the existence of the spy and there might be other spies.

It is obvious that the Hillary campaign knew the day by day strategy, etc. of the Trump campaign and still couldn’t win.
But no wonder they thought they had it in the bag. They knew that the Hillary campaign was outspending the Trump campaign by almost double and where the spending was going ahead of time. The knew which states the Trump campaign had written off and which ones they were going after. When the Trump campaign decided to go all in on the formerly blue rust belt, the Hillary team laughed and ignored the effort in their arrogance.

OMG. Not really. Those secrets are stuck in the pockets of Democrats and making their illegal way to the media in a conga line of corruption. Does this guy remember what Hillary was actually doing with that email server?

Analysis
UPI NewsTrack - July 11, 1983
Author/Byline: IRA R. ALLEN

The swirling mystery of the 1980 briefing books in some ways parallels the Watergate scandal of a decade ago, and President Reagan is trying to make sure that whatever the result, no one can accuse him of managing a cover-up.

Spokesman Larry Speakes, a veteran of President Nixon's darkest hours in the White House, maintains Reagan has not asked directly for information from his staff precisely to avoid the appearance of a cover-up.

‘You can recall what happened to one other president who didn't keep hands off an investigation,’ he told reporters last week. ‘Nobody can fault us for giving a full and free rein to the Justice Department and saying, ‘Pursue it with vigor.’’

The main parallel between Watergate and the current controversy is that both had their genesis in an effort by campaign aides to figure out what the opposition had.

And the specter of the Central Intelligence Agency loomed prominently in both cases.

Nixon was forced to resign after admitting that he had, only several days after the incident, told the CIA of the June, 1972, break-in at Democratic headquarters, which his spokesman characterized as a ‘third-rate burglary.’ The mastermind of the burglary was a former CIA operative, E. Howard Hunt.

While no fingers are pointing anywhere yet in the current controversy, there have been accusations that national security papers were passed to the Reagan campaign, whose manager was William Casey, now director of the CIA.

One former Reagan aide who denied a news report he was involved in a campaign intelligence ring, Stefan Halper, previously worked in the presidential campaign of Vice President George Bush, who was CIA director and Republican chairman when Nixon resigned.

Well Senator Warner, why is it that only the Democrats seem to have any collusion with Russian agents? Why do you lecture when the heat is on top officials like Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Yates...getting too close for comfort...you should have come forward Senator a long, long time ago.

Wow. You might check this out too. I provided a link to the text of a tweet by @The_War_Economy. I can’t vouch for the guy, but it seems like a well-researched background report on Halper, going back to before he joined the Nixon White House in 1971. Sounds like a real Bush insider =>

If Warner believes this, then he will support the lifetime in agitmo without possibility of pardon or parole of Hillary and 30 or 40 Congressional Dems, and the death penalty for Huma and the Swans.

Why should the “source” worry about being outed?

He risked his life to combat Russian interference in our presidential election, in order to maintain the integrity of our democratic process.

He is a hero. Not to out him would rob him of all the recognition he deserves.

It’s almost as if he’s ashamed of what he did.

Yeah - one should always just roll over and let himself be railroaded by “secret anonymous sources” who are the basis of the charges being pushed.....no prosecutor would ever lose another case even if neither the “victim” or the “perp” were ever in the place of the alleged crime....since the super secret anonymous source says it’s so, it has to be so because....National Security....
