Was Comey’s FDR Trump tweet linked to Obama 2012 ‘insider threat’ memo?

Reacting to Donald Trump’s fury over a New York Times report that said the FBI investigated whether the president was working for Russia after he fired James Comey, Comey himself tweeted a quote by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

“I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made,” the former FBI director wrote on Saturday, adding an attribution: “FDR.” It soon became clear the tweet almost exactly matched one by Trump, issued on 21 November 2012, when the then reality TV star was digesting the re-election of Barack Obama....{snip} But it seems Comey might have been making a sharper point. 21 November 2012, the date of Trump’s FDR tweet, was also the date of a presidential memorandum issued by Obama. Its subject: “National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs.”

In the memo, Obama defined its purpose as....

not that Trump would have known about any memo, the memo itself being interesting, but the Guardian ends the article with what seems to be a dogwhistle:

Comey did not immediately comment further on Saturday but he did tweet about a trip to see a Broadway show: “The perfect day to see To Kill a Mockingbird … Amazing cast and vital message: ‘All rise.’”

I can’t wait for this POS Comey to be issued his orange jumpsuit.

Guess BO didn’t take his memo too seriously. He did have Hillary working for him doing what he said they were trying to guard against.

The Kenyanesian Usurper WAS the inside threat.

Uh we already knew Comey was an enemy of Trump

" insiders who misuse their access and endanger our national security"

It seems that the scumbag Comey never read or thought about the issues raised in that memo, since he and Obozo allowed Hillary (and themselves) to endanger our national security with gross misuse and abuse of their "insider access"....

Comey is merely the same arrogant moron, who tries to sound intelligent by quoting famous historical figures. Everyone who has sent a kid off to college and had them back for Thanksgiving recognizes this syndrome.

And of course, the FBI defines the national security interests of the USA. Trump obviously did not get cleared by the intel community to make any foreign policy changes.
Doesn’t he realize they get the final say?

BTW, the CIA started with an “Office of Policy Coordination”. It went a name change in the 50s, but it looks like they included the White House on their list of who is required to “coordinate” with them.

I really hate this rear-hole.

[DesertRhino]

Look on the bright side. The doofus is 6’8”. Super tall people die earlier.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

I fail to see how a jumpsuit could address what he’s done. Firing squad seems a lot more appropriate.

[an amused spectator]

And you don’t need as much rope.

[MAGAthon]

it is a joy watching the so-called prog left media provide cover for the intel agencies.

In November of 2012, amid the furor of the Benghazi controversy, a “flash fire” broke out on the 7th floor of the State Department building. –LINK–
The fire coincidentally broke out over the long 2012 Thanksgiving weekend when no-one was around, and just happened to take place in the same proximity to Secretary Clinton’s office.
The cause was never determined, and there was scant media coverage of the entire incident.
A “flash fire” which preceded a cold, which preceded an unfortunate slip and fall for the Secretary, resulting in a concussion, which led to the discovery of a blood clot, that ultimately delayed her congressional testimony before a Senate Hearing into the events of the night in question….

The UK Guardian is their Marxist paper du jour and always has been. Just look at how the writer interjected their Marxist hatred of Trump by using key words to describe his actions - infamous, fury, re chance to deny on Fox that he was working for the Russians, etc.

Journalistic Marxist insanity taken to newer highs, with promises of more soviet-style disinformation/Alinsky smears to come.

Lol

[Eagles6]

My exact thoughts.
