Seamus Bruner: Comey-Mueller ‘Cash in Through the Revolving Door’ of the Swamp
Breitbart ^ | 23 Aug 2018 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 08/24/2018 7:09:40 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Seamus Bruner, Government Accountability Institute (GAI) researcher and author of Compromised: How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption, explained how former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller leveraged their government positions to enrich themselves. He joined Peter Schweizer, GAI president and Breitbart News senior editor-at-large, for a Wednesday interview with Sean Hannity.

“This is a familiar story [about] the revolving door; turning public service into self service,” said Bruner. “We followed the money. We followed it to the top, and we found that these choir boys or boy scouts — as the media likes to depict them — James Comey and Robert Mueller, they’re really no better than anyone else in the swamp. They use their public service [and] their contacts and they cash in through the revolving door.”

Bruner described Lockheed Martin’s — the country’s largest national defense and security contractor — hiring of James Comey in 2005 to the dual position of general counsel and senior vice president as unusual. Comey was 44 at the time and without requisite corporate experience.

I thought there was a prohibition on retiring military and government personnel from working for companies for which they had some responsibility when on duty. I have a relative who did work for a company he had dealt with in the military, but for a different part of the company, and he was monitored to make sure he had no relationship with the others.

NY Post: Former Intelligence Officials Bagging Big Bucks Off Their Security Clearances
Breitbart | 23 Aug 2018
FR Posted by detective

Former U.S. intelligence officials like John Brennan garner lucrative employment in the private sector based on their ability to maintain their government security clearances. Peter Schweizer and Seamus Bruner from the Government Accountability Institute explain this in an op-ed in the New York Post, detailing the revelations in Bruner’s new book, Compromised: How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption.

Schweizer and Bruner write: Former CIA Director John Brennan’s temper tantrum over the revocation of his security clearance has inadvertently pointed a spotlight at one of the Swamp’s favorite get-rich-quick tricks: the national intelligence contractor hustle. On Aug. 20, President Trump escalated his attack on Brennan.

“Everybody wants to keep their Security Clearance, it’s worth great prestige and big dollars, even board seats, and that is why certain people are coming forward to protect Brennan,” Trump said. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

James Comey and Robert Mueller, they’re really no better than anyone else in the swamp.

No better? They are the poster children of worstness, the folks who do well by serving their overlords, the Clintons and the folks behind the Clintons, while undermining the Constitution, their oaths of office, the rule of law and their higher calling to God.

The system is not fair when some are not investigated for crimes because of a “D” after their names. The media hates Trump and Trump voters. Politicians just want to be re-elected regardless of during the right thing. The entire system is corrupt to the core. The media markets its advertisements to sell stupid people products they do not need or can afford. The investigators profit from dirty deeds of a few without a “D” next to their names.
