The Stench at Obama's DOJ and FBI
Real Clear Politics ^ | 1/24/18 | John Lipson

For a brief, shining moment, CNN paused in its nonstop coverage of everything it loathes about President Trump for some actual “breaking news.” One of the network’s reporters had noticed that Congress was looking into malfeasance and political corruption at the Obama-era Department of Justice, FBI, and intelligence agencies.  This is still news to most mainstream outlets.

There are now three major congressional investigations, peeling away layers of political bias, unequal application of the law, and, perhaps even felonies by senior officials who may have leaked classified documents, obstructed justice, and violated Fourth Amendment guarantees against unreasonable search and seizure.

These probes center on credible allegations that the FBI and DOJ fixed the investigation of Hillary Clinton to clear her and her top associates, and then launched an investigation of Donald Trump for partisan political reasons. If these allegations are true—and they have not yet been proven—this is the biggest American political scandal since Watergate. It would mean that the executive branch agency tasked with enforcing the law, instead subverted the law to protect its favored presidential candidate and damage the opposition party’s. Then, it tried to cover it all up.

Yeah, so many honorable whistle-blowers putting country ahead of pension, huh? Makes me sick! Not even a handful could do the right thing?

Tje legendary Mafia omertà is nothing to the FBI protecting its own.

Did Sessions approve the “They’re LOST!” press release?

??????? You do know Sessions said he will leave no stone unturned to recover the missing texts and that is it being reported they have already started to recovery process and have been finding some of the texts......right?

Nice try to avoid answering the question.

Did Beauregard fire the peeps who claimed to have lost the texts? Who allowed them to claim that? They make the FBI look stupid.

I guess some are happy ignoring progress so they can ponder and worry about issues that take a bit more time - fire them now, before their actual activities are figured out and it makes it harder to get a good prosecution later.

Watergate: A bunch of hapless dimwits planting surveillance bugs in a hotel room.

______________

Not to throw cold water on your theory, but Nixon, Mitchell, Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and the other boys were into a little more than that.

BUT ......... this today IS a MUCH bigger deal with a much larger cast of characters.
