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.

I contend again. That is not how to handle it. Indictments of coup members will get the right result: McCabe, Comey to start. If there is something to pin Mueller, do that too. If it comes from a grant jury, let them scream political. That is how you break it up. So far, all we have are tweets and one firing.

A lot of people who comment here are mixing up a rebellion (like Shay’s Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion) with a Civil War.

I live in the country on a dirt road, and I have plenty of tools that are suitable for various occasions, as well as lots of little brass things that fit into my tools.

But I have never imagined that any tools I could possess could be of use against a USMC rifle squad. That’s just ridiculous.

True civil war requires opposing armies. Creating opposing armies out of a unified military force is not a simple matter, but it could happen IF unity of command were violated - for example, if McMaster tried a coup using Army units loyal to him and Mattis commanded sufficient loyal Marine forces to oppose them.

The US military is a tiny paper tiger against a million man insurgency.

PS:There are more NJ State government employees than active duty US Marines....

Let’s not have facts get in way of the narrative. Sessions was following the recommendation of the responsible FBI office. I guess he could have ignored the recommendation, but why would he do that?

“I contend again. That is not how to handle it. Indictments of coup members will get the right result: McCabe, Comey to start.”

...and who is going to do that? Sessions? Rosenstein?

We have no controlling legal authority that is not corrupt and loyal to the left or compromised (Jeff Magoo).

Trump needs to gut the entire DOJ starting with sessions, rosenstein and mueller.

True civil war requires opposing armies.

What we are will probably face will not be a 19th century type war, with opposing armies, uniforms, codes of conduct, etc.

The Left cannot win that type of war, especially if our military is on the side of the Constitution.

That is why they have already waged a very different war. Their weapons are domination of the culture, domination of the media and Hollywood, propaganda, control of social media, vote fraud, judicial activism, and the tools of the Deep State.

But, let's say that there are mass arrests of the guilty (just for the sake of argument). Would the Cold Civil War go hot? It already has in pockets. Antifa, the false flag events (school or mass shootings, train derailments, etc.)

If the Left and the Deep State felt cornered and desperate, I guarantee you they will turn violent. They will use regional violence in places where they have an advantage. They will utilize corrupt police forces, or perhaps even corrupt National Guard that answer to Governors under Title 35.

Our Federal military (who operate under Title 10), may be called upon in many ways, to include arrests, and to quell riots or insurrections.

Out military is tiny. It cannot not put down a general insurrection and an insurgency.

Leaky Leahy should have been jailed years ago for leaks and later sharing a cell with Al “My friend fixed the election count so that I could win” Franken.

Well, Franken is gone but Leahy is still around. Time for God to bring us some justice.

the wrong side won CW 1 - mostly due to massive ‘immigrant enlistment . They totally overwhelmed and oppressed the original true Americans . Things have never been the same since , to the point that we are in danger of losing America as we have ever known it . Maybe it actually IS time to re-visit the matter .

#21. Re “They (the Democrats) seem not to realize their argument is for unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats to hold all power”.

Oh Contraire! They kno exactly what their argument is, as long as the “unaccountable bureaucrats” are Democrats or power-hungry RINOS.

Yoda: The corruption is DEEP in this Democrat Party!

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

I just tuned in to hear a caller say that Trump should fire mueller(which I agree with wholeheartedly)...Mark says that they’ll impeach him over that—Keeps interrupting him...They’ll impeach him over that.

Hey mark, ya big dummy, the mueller coup is going to come up with something(a legal fig leaf) for the Repubikans to impeach him anyways. WHY GIVE THE CORRUPT BASTARDS IN CONGRESS A LEGAL FIG LEAF IN WHICH TO IMPEACH TRUMP?

Drop the hammer right now and fire that Mueller POS. Nothing illegal about doing so. Let these corrupt repuki bastards go out on a limb and try & impeach Trump. If they try it and succeed, IT’S GO TIME ANYWAYS!!


Mark, Educate yourself!

"How can McCabe have made such a decision of had authority to do so? He couldn’t."

It was authorized by the DOJ or POTUS - either Rosenstein, Lynch or obaMao

the CIA should be abolished and disbanded to stop them from inciting more war crimes. How can anyone in the US justifiably criticize Putin when the CIA is equally heinous, it is just more diverse so it is harder to pin CIA attrocities on any one person

"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."

He colluded with Democrats Strzok and Page, so yeah, pretty much makes him a RINO.

The Deep State fighting back

Agree.

If PDJT admin does not take the war to them hard and fast they will win the narrative and the fight.

Single handed tweedle dee tweets will not win this one. Full jails and gallows will
