James Clapper, in an interview with John Berman on CNN, was asked about the attorney general appointment of U.S. Attorney John Durham for the job to investigate how the “FBI Russia Investigation started”.
“There is a substantial investigation, which as I understand it, is nearing completion, being conducted by the Justice Department Inspector General,” Clapper said. “I’d wait for the outcome of that to determine if there needs to be more investigations.”

There was an important revelation yesterday that Dan Bongino talked about on his show: It's Over.
I heard just the other day that a document was released under a FOIA request by Citizens United, a transcript of a meeting that Christopher Steele had with the State Department ten days before their FISA application that was approved in October 2016.
Out of the blue, there suddenly came down that the FBI had redacted a portion of that transcript. I heard this, and thought "Geez, why out of the blue would they suddenly redact on the fly as the document was being released?"
The meeting was apparently encompassed discussion about certain people who were said to have come and gone from the USA, and in it, there were a few sentences redacted. There was also discussion by Steele that "he was encouraged by a client to get his research out before the 2016 election" (the research was "The Dossier")
In the official typed transcript of the meeting that Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec created and sent to various people (almost certainly the FBI, but this is not yet verified) they are talking about the comings and goings of people.
While the meeting was going on...Kavalec was writing down notes that would be used for the transcript, and apparently, as they were discussing various people, Kavalec was accessing a system on a laptop or desktop PC to verify the dates people were entering or leaving, and these were all typed up in the transcript...except for one that was redacted.
What did those one or two sentences say that the FBI felt the need to redact?
Well, WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW, is that in the FOIA request by Citizens United (HAHAHAHAHAHA...what F*** ups!) they also released the handwritten notes, and...scrawled in the margin, right next to where the material was in the handwritten notes (that WAS redacted in the typed transcript) was "Cohen-Prague".
What was redacted was almost certainly the results of her search in the State Department system on Trump's scummy lawyer Cohen, saying that when she looked, there is no record in the system that he ever went to Prague.
We all know that, right? Cohen denied going there, his scummy leftist lawyer Lanny Davis denied his client had gone there, and Mueller in his report said there was no evidence Cohen had ever gone to Prague. This is old news, right?
Except for one thing: This transript was sent to the FBI about eight days before the FISA warrant was applied for. So here is smoking gun proof that the FBI KNEW in advance that the Dossier used in applying for the FISA warrant, the Dossier whose ENTIRE CONTENT HINGED ON COHEN GOING TO PRAGUE TO NEGOTIATE FOR THE PURLOINED EMAILS, was FRAUDULENT.
Yet they signed off on the application anyway. AND, there is also evidence the FBI KNEW it was political attack material, not intelligence.
One more thing: I want to know who redacted that line out of the released transcript. Who was that?
Yet, these low-level perpetrators are far from being the primary threat to our continued form of republican self government. So, once again, FR can act as a forum to address the real focus of the war, which are global financial and media conglomerates. It is these international players, who in conjunction with China and KSA, set policy objectives and finance critical "information infrastructure" projects to re-shape and re-form (ie destroy) western society.
Stalin famously said it's who controls counting the votes, and many authors are attributed to the victor writing history. There's a very large and significant number of hateful malcontents and other defectives who use their franchise to lash out at the very system that provides them the freedom to criticize. As long as they have media sanction, they will continue to support policies that will serve to destroy the country.
With the media intact, they can play the long game and outlast Trump long after he's gone. That's why the primary targets need to be those who finance & control the directed insurrection. Anything less is just window dressing.
This traitorous bastard, this self-serving prick, should stock up on Charmin, antacids and lawyers - because he’s going to need plenty of all of them. Oh, and if I was him, I’d be getting in much better shape and learning the art of weaponless self-defense from some former prisoner, because Jimmie’s going DOWN!
Well put. I feel exactly the same as you. They are a mortal enemy and yes, they would kill us if they could.
If they do not receive severe justice, this will happen again and next time will make this time seem like child’s play.
Next time, when they are ready and have it all in place, they will go full Stalin/Hitler on us.
That’s funny right there.
And who made the redaction???
You bet. I had forgotten about that chart they made! I will say, one thing that is missing (or I just didn’t see it) was the information from Alexander Downer about the Papadopoulos conversation that went to the State House.
The way the ringleaders crafted this, they had the same info coming in from State, the FBI, CIA, and DOJ, and was done in such a way to make it look like multiple sources all had the same info, so...it must be valid, right?
THAT is why I think both Clapper and Brennan are in this up to their necks.
I agree. If Karl Marx were alive today, he would be thought of as a moderate Democrat, and probably wouldn't be radical enough for many in that party.
Yes!
Boy these folks sure had hubris
Yes. WHO did that?
Because that implies to me it is someone who has involvement in this whole thing, and...they are still there.
Second, it shows what an incompetent stooge they are. You can almost see someone like Wray (who I am less sanguine now about helping to fix this issue after his stupid testimony to the Leftists on the committee last week, responding to them like a trained seal):
“Come on, for God’s sake. You redacted the trancript but not the handwritten notes the transcript was derived from??? What, are you a moron?”
Shouldn’t the clod clapper be hanging from some tree in WDC (after arrest, fair trial and conviction, of course)?
I think we’ll find that the current head of the FBI is a dirty cop too.
Yup. That's my take on it as well.
Obama appointed Horowitz and the IG reports are part of the insurance policy.
Hopefully Barr and Durham aren't.
This crap the democrats did in collusion with the Russians makes Watergate look like a kid being caught chewing a piece of gum in class.
I won’t be happy until prosecutions are determined against many top players on the left.

“.....On Tuesday, Attorney General John Ashcroft declassified a four-page directive sent by Ms. Gorelick (the No. 2 official in the Clinton Justice Department) on March 4, 1995, to FBI Director Louis Freeh and Mary Jo White, the New York-based U.S. attorney investigating the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In the memo, Ms. Gorelick ordered Mr. Freeh and Ms. White to follow information-sharing procedures that “go beyond what is legally required,” in order to avoid “any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance” that the Justice Department was using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, instead of ordinary criminal investigative procedures, in an effort to undermine the civil liberties of terrorism suspects......”
Yes.
They sure did. Bunch of Leftist scum, they are so full of themselves, they always think they are "the smartest people in the room" and when something goes wrong, they shrug their shoulders, say something unforseen was "unexpected", and disown it and disappear.
Except in this case, what was "unexpected", what they didn't forsee, is leaving their collective asses hanging further and further out into the wind.
A delicious thing, liars filled with hubris who end up being unable to keep their lies straight.
When I did this as a kid, I got "The Belt".
Let's give them the National Belt, if we can't give them "The Rope".
Yep.
Watcha got to hide?
After the answer he gave the other day, that is what I am thinking as well.
I despise these vermin who abuse our national trust.
