Ya, he was concerned they’d get caught.
They will get their stories straight and they will all blame Comey.
If he made his "concerns" known in writing, either in an e-mail or on a staff summary sheet, then he might be able avoid prosecution.
However, if he signed off on the FISA application without dissent, then he best hope for the upper bunk.
Still waiting for the first indictment...cautiously optimistic.
There has been chatter on the Chans for a week that Greg Craig was singing like a bird, trying to make a deal to keep himself out of prison.
Let me know when anyone is charged with a crime. Convinced nothing is going to happen to any of these criminals.
Concerned?
Translation:
He wasn’t sure he could SELL it and stay out of Prison.
Baker would like to claim that his deliberately looking the other way was a “mistake.” Mistakes aren’t on purpose...they’re accidental. To label them as such is being a liar, and a fraud.
In fact Baker used the same exact language on NBC that he did when he testified in Congress, from the transcript: I had a jaundiced eye about everything, yes. I had skepticism about all this stuff. I was concerned about all of this. This whole situation was horrible, and it was novel and we were trying to figure out what to do, and it was highly unusual, Baker told lawmakers.
It's good that Chuck Todd and NBC News are on top of things!
Baker feelin the squeeze. more popcorn !
