The dishonesty of the deep state (opinion by former Bill Clinton adviser Mark Penn)
The Hill ^ | 07/13/18 09:56 AM EDT | MARK PENN, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR

I’ve seen President Clinton deny he had a relationship with “that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” I’ve seen President Obama assure people they will get to keep their doctor under ObamaCare. And I’ve seen former press secretary Sean Spicer declare that President Trump’s inaugural crowd was larger than Obama’s.

But these falsehoods pale in comparison to the performances of a series of “deep state” witnesses who have combined chutzpah with balderdash, culminating so far in the testimony of FBI agent Peter Strzok.

Let’s review just some of the highlights.

Former FBI director James Comey maintained he did not make any decision on the Hillary Clinton email investigation until after Clinton’s interview, even though his conclusion memo was written, edited and watered down months in advance of his announcement. We have all of the timing, the drafts of the memo, and the dates and times of the edits.

Former CIA head John Brennan denied he supplied the Steele dossier on Trump to then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the face of mounting evidence that he did precisely that and, at least orally, gave the former Nevada Democrat a full account of the dossier, leading Reid to write a public letter demanding an investigation.

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has flatly denied that he lied to the FBI about orchestrating a self-serving leak, even denying knowledge in several interviews with FBI investigators, including one session that Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz has on tape, if one reads the fine print of his report.

Poor Mark—the Overton Window just blew past you at ludicrous speed—you are now an evil white male racist.

:-(

The DOJ and FBI need to be swept clean and rebuilt from the ground up.

There are no reasonable prosecutors therein.

This is the nuts and bolts about real “collusion”

And our own government did it.

Convictions or the Constitution is a bad joke.

“The DOJ and FBI need to be swept clean and rebuilt from the ground up.”

And renamed because their names will be forever repugnant.

Starts out strong but I stopped reading when he compared a truth to two obvious lies. The lies were of great importance and the one truth that might be the subject of quibble was also quite trivial. Why he is put it in the first paragraph is a reassurance to his own people that he isn’t going to say anything of importance.

Remarkably, we learned that special counsel Robert Mueller never even made the slightest direct inquiry into Strzok’s actions and behavior...well, that was Strzok's story - one panelist finally got him to admit that his idea of why Mueller fired him was his own impression that Mueller was concerned about the appearance of bias in his texts, but not about bias itself - it's difficult to believe that Mueller never would have told Strzok why he was being reassigned, and more difficult to believe that Syrzok would have never asked - Strzok lies so promiscuously that who knows what the real story is.......
