A House Republican's line of questioning uncovered revelations that in May 2017 senior FBI leadership debated whether President Trump was directed by the Russian government to fire FBI Director James Comey, Fox News has learned.
Contacted by Fox, U.S. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, confirmed his questions to former FBI General Counsel James A. Baker uncovered the claims, some of which were first reported Friday by the New York Times.
Ratcliffe called the Baker transcript leak "selective," adding that the full transcript of the Oct. 18 interview, which is undergoing a classification review by the FBI and the Justice Department, reveals "that in May 2017, political bias infected senior FBI leadership, and emotion -- not evidence -- drove their decision making."
A separate source said Baker told investigators the internal FBI debate over the president's decision to fire Comey on May 9, 2017, included personnel who have since left the bureau for cause, retired, or have been demoted.

“whether President Trump was directed by the Russian government to fire FBI Director James Comey”
The Russians did this. The Russians did that. They’re behind the Walkaway movement. They directed Trump to fire James Commy. They made Trump win. They made Hillary fall down at Ground Zero. What will they do next? Check under your beds.
These are FBI agents? Trained, world-class detectives? Dan Blather is the very soul of objectivity and cool-headed analysis by comparison.
“What is scum?”, Billy the Kid is asked as the gang rides into White Oaks, where a sign declares: “We Will Not Tolerate Scum”.
Billy replies, “Well, Tom, that’s bad types: politicians, bankers, cattle kings...scum.”
I suspect you will be concluding: Banana Republic.
I may be way off base here but wasn’t the uproar concerning the the Patriot Act, it could be used to spy on Americans????
Been listening to Bongino’s podcast. This is a very disgusting creepy web.
And I thought Mexico had a corrupt government.
It went on steroids during Obama but it started wayyyy before. LBJ, FDR???
Why would the Russian government give a fat rat's ass about Jimmy the Weasel being FBI director? Obviously they wouldn't which in turn makes it equally obvious how malevolent and corrupt "senior FBI leadership" is.
Off with their heads! If the law won't do it then the people should.
To be carried out in classic Roman fashion.
“New AG needs to appoint a Special Counsel!!!!!!!!!!”
Too bad Trump nominated Muller’s best buddy for AG.
Hey Barrack, you want anything?
Are you aware that states are now issuing drivers licenses with a bar code for complete medical records, and an iris scan? When did we vote for that? A friend of mine discovered that when she had a bicycle accident and the ambulance folk scanned her medical records. She has some Libertarian friends who are quite upset about that.
Interesting..how about an article on this?
To find an article I entered “When did states start putting medical records and iris scans on drivers licenses?” A number of articles came up, some merely informative and some expressing concern/alarm. I just decided to give you the URL for the entire list:
no dont look over there at Hillary and Obama using campaign funds to get a FISA warrant illegally under false pretenses
Look over here ! ...the Meuller dog and pony show is closing in on Trump
the hand is faster than the eye
look over here
The rotten Deep State “onion” is beginning to peel back its seditious layers and reveal the truth about the corrupt FBI/DOJ leaders who should be charged with treason and sedition, election tampering, and criminal negligence/dereliction of duty re not totally vetting Steele’s “Russian sources - probably Russian SFB/old KGB type operatives, “perjury trap” operations against Papadopoulous, Page, etc.
There is a great need for former FBI/DOJ/CIA/State/NSA officials to testify as to the operations the Deep State illegally ran, the depth and scope of them, who ordered them to begin, and who participated in them.
This is the only way to get a “Rogues List” of traitors and their stooges to be used for some serious prosecutions.
The FBI “grapevine” will suddenly blossom with information like a flower garden after a good fertilizing. There are some good people in the old FBI/CIA contingent and retirees (AFIO - I knew its first real leader, David Atlee Phillips - author of “Secret Wars Diary”, 1989. Used to have lunch with him and the late Assistant Director of FBI Foreign Counter-Intelligence Operations, the great Ray Wannell - A ssoc. of Former FBI Agents).
I know that there are at least 5-7 or more former intel officers and agents who have publicly asked to testify before Congress (and the stupid Republicans haven’t asked most of them, if not all of them, to appear). This cowardice has got to stop and some Republican leader in Congress with at least one ball has got to get this investigation up and running NOW.
So. The corrupt leader of a highly partisan FBI gets fired justifiably and his fellow partisans suddenly fear their crooked operation will become exposed.
Trump is just waiting till Mueller and the Democrats take their shot. He should then declassify everything, unredacted, related to the bogus scheme to ruin him. The platform to clean out Washington DC will again be the powerful theme of his 2020 campaign.
These Double Super Secret Courts, run by liberals, used to go after veterans, conservatives, Christians, active military, good Republicans (I know, I know, they are FEW and VERY FAR in-between!). Our RIGHT to privacy IS GONE! Our RIGHT to free speech is GONE! These and many more are targets of the Dimocratic Communist People’s Socialist Homosexual Lovers Party, run by the fools using the minority, with the remainder of STUPID America having their stupid heads up their @$$e$, watching football, basketball, reality programs, playing video games, yada, yada, have lost sight of all these freedoms and given them away to the enemy of communism. Americans are going to awake one morning soon and find out they now live in a dominated police state, governed by the EXTREME FAR, FAR, LEFT and wondering when the country went!!?? Yup. This world is being set up for the Extreme Left’s takeover of the nation and world under a UN led One World Government, led by one that is called in the Holy Scriptures as the Antichrist. It is all coming together. The Bible has laid it all out verse by verse and it is coming true. The LORD put it out for all to see and read, yet 99% of human kind ignore it. Do so at your own peril. This 50-75 years you have on this earth is not all of it. There is Eternity. Eternity in Heaven with the LORD. OR, Eternity in the Lake of Fire. If you don’t believe that, then do so at your own peril. However, are you sure YOU know? Do YOU have the right answers? Do you KNOW that YOU have it correct? Remember, you are doing so at your own risk, at your own peril. If YOU are SURE, You’d better be CORRECT!! Being wrong will, well in human jargon, be a bummer!! Make sure you understand the consequences of being WRONG!!
Duh... They are Democrats
The FBI/Intel Community/DOJ are guilty of TREASON
