EXCLUSIVE: Fired FBI official authorized criminal probe of Sessions, sources say

By Mike Levine

Mar 21, 2018, 4:01 PM ET

Nearly a year before Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired senior FBI official Andrew McCabe for what Sessions called a "lack of candor," McCabe oversaw a federal criminal investigation into whether Sessions lacked candor when testifying before Congress about contacts with Russian operatives, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

We are deep into coup d’etat territory.

_______________________

Let's hope the destruction of the "coup d'état" will be the upcoming I.G.Report.

Hopefully Mr. Horowitz and his investigators will deliver the coup de gras to the "coup d'état".

“But in an interview with ABC News, McCabe insisted politics was “absolutely not” a factor in any of the decisions he made, noting he has considered himself a Republican all his life.”


Your screen name hints at what I think about this, which can be summarized by that old saying:

“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.”

I don’t give a damn what label McCabe (supposedly) had for himself, he’s an extremely corrupt and likely treasonous actor.

Oh, and for the record, I believe that every traitor - Democrat, Republican, Communist, Socialist, etc. should be hung until dead with exactly the same length and type of rope, from a gallows of exactly the same dimensions...starting with McCabe.

“These dirty cops in the FBI have been doing this kind of stuff to other Obama opposition for most of the Obama Administration”

I thought it was just the IRS. What a cesspool.

Why am I only seeing republicans being investigated when the democrats have committed all the crimes? I'm sick of hearing about the president being investigated while Hillary, obama and all the other criminals run free.

You can assume that these coup plotters were investigating everyone associated with Trump.

If I may Captain Obvious for a moment, that's WHY the Mueller thing is front and center for the liberal media. They KNOW they have to distract from the REAL CRIMES of Hillary and the Obama administration. Poor Al Capone - he had nothing on thse people - they're much craftier criminals than he ever was.

I wonder what they got on him. It has long been rumored that he used his influence to speed up the adoption of his Chinese children.

I probably heard that here on FR.

Anyone else hear that?

“Where are Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan on this?”

Watching these pusillanimous POS in ‘action’ when O’muslim was POTUS, told me everything I needed to know about how corrupt the entire swamp really is.

The repubikans are unindicted co-conspirators to 6 years of Ogabe’s wholesale treason and lawlessness. They allowed and funded it all. Trump has gotten 10 times the resistance from his own party than they ever gave Obama over 8 years of his usurpation.

Gee, where was the investigation into Holder, before he lied to Congress while under oath about what he knew about targeting reporters, he lied about Fast and Furious. As early as the New Black Panthers case, Eric Holder had a problem with the truth.

I wonder why Horowitz doesn't go after Holder now. Horowitz complained (supposedly) about not having access to Holders Fast & Furious documents.

But then, the IG Empowerment Act was signed into law in December of 2016. Horowitz now has the power to get such documents.

Yet, Horowitz doesn't do it.

well FRiend, we agree on perhaps one thing, you’d be absolutely right to have called me “delusional” if what you are suggesting actually happens.

Alea iacta est

They are not finished yet - not by any means.

I'm certain they have connections in the military and in militarized Federal agencies. You are correct - they can't back down, they can only move forward. They may very well prove to be "combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals by law"

The Calling Forth Act of 1792 and the Insurrection Acts of 1795, 1807, 1861 and 1869 may very well have to come into play.

The President has the responsibility to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and he has the authority to use all of the armed forces at his command to carry out his responsibility.

There is a rebellion underway, led by persons unknown, but probably including recently retired senior leaders. The rebellion involves officials of the Department of Justice, the FBI, possibly the CIA, and the governors of California and perhaps other states, as well as Senators and Members of Congress. Their purpose is to obstruct the operation of laws passed by Congress and signed by Presidents. As Abraham Lincoln put it, "the laws of the United States have been for some time past, and now are opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed..."

Now, this is, in the felicitous words of Joseph Robinette Biden, late VP of the United States, a "big fu*kin' deal".

It does not mean civil war, not yet. The civil war turned from a rebellion into a catastrophe when the chain of command disintegrated, which does not necessarily have to happen here.

But, when the first combat commander refuses orders to act against the rebellion, and a second combat commander accepts an order to take him into custody - then the fat will really be in the fire.

I do not believe the legal system can deal with this. Too many crimes have been committed by too many people who retain the loyalty of men with guns.

Well, we know they came back after his testimony cuz they said he met so and so. Well damn....they happened to be in the same room. And the other case was....him meeting, while Senator, like most senators spoke with the Russian Ambassador. NOT campaign related in any way.

So we knew about this and that's why he said....okay you idiots....I'll totally recuse myself from any Russian investigation. In other words, this is NOT new news in any way. In fact, it sounds like McCabe was trying to get rid of him hook, line and sinker.

Pssst.....he was not required to put down meetings in his job as Senator....and that matter was cleared up...and confirmed as true.

Where are Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan on this?

Mark Levin is covering McConnell's corruption and why he is compromised, right now on his show.

If true, it explains why McConnell is afraid to anger the Deep State.

But the US military will not be on the side of the Left and the Traitors

Can you imagine what sort of man would get a third or fourth star from Obama?

If the chain of command remains intact and if Mattis AND McMaster remain loyal, we should be OK.

If these things do not play out correctly, we will be in an horrific mess.

I've been defending him all along...and so have others.

And this is OLD news...and you can bet it was set in play by Comey and McCabe.

What you say is true. We should be “scared out of our pants”, as you say, but but but..... that is where our faith comes into play.

If we truly believe that God is in ultimate control, then there is no need to fear. What is impossible with Man really is possible with God.....which is why we pray and keep looking up : )

The guy on the left looks a little too much like Tom Lehrer (”Masochism Tango”, “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park”) for my comfort.
