President Trump agreed with senior White House officials last week to back the Justice Department in its refusal to give House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes information he was seeking. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)

Last Wednesday, senior FBI and national intelligence officials relayed an urgent message to the White House: Information being sought by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes could endanger a top-secret intelligence source.

One theory I have been entertaining is that team Hillary contrived to get an FBI investigation started on Donald Trump for the sole reason that there was an investigation open on her.

She was really, really, really, pissed that the FBI was investigating her for her secret server. She tried to pass off the idea it was just a ‘security review’ and Loretta tried to get everyone to call it a ‘matter.’

She knew she was in no legal peril, because the fix was in.

Nevertheless, she didn’t think it was fair that she was the subject of public knowledge of an FBI investigation and Donald Trump was not.

So they wanted to level the playing field by contriving something for the FBI to investigate on Trump and then try to get it out in public as happened for the FBI investigation into her.

The first July failed effort at getting the FISA court to buy this crap may have been the result of this effort, but failed.

This plot to start an FBI investigation on Donald Trump was probably the main topic at the tarmac meeting between Loretta and Slick.

It wasn’t the email investigation; that had been ‘fixed’ months before.

turning over Justice Department documents could risk lives by potentially exposing the source, a U.S. citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI, according to multiple people familiar with the discussion

could it be the bartender at one of the gay bars in the
District of Corruption overheard two flakes talking about doing it without a condom with a Ruski?

>>It’s probably a ruse to protect Felonious Pants Suit and Hussein.<<

Absolutely no question in my mind that President Trump has been duped by this nonsense. He should DEMAND that the unredacted documents Sen. Nunes has requested be sent to him immediately.

>>The Mueller investigation is strictly about deflecting interest away from the crimes of Hillary Clinton, the Obozo and the DNC<<

I suspect there are very few on this forum who are not aware of this.

>>Too many federal judges are lawless.<<

Which is another way of saying many of them are guilty of engaging in criminal activity. This is why I argue the Federal Judiciary is actually the greatest domestic threat to our Constitutional Republic.

It effectively shuts down Nunes work and Schiff will be delighted, and turns loose only Mueller, the Inspector General, and US Att. Huber from Utah, and the US Att. Little Rock U1 & Clinton Foundation investigations working.

Sounds like Congressional committees are at the mercy of Justice Department.

Congress may reject this advisement and issue contempt?

One would hope that after Trump’s interactions with Comey and “intelligence” he would be strongly skeptical.

Ok this is about an intlellectually inchorenant an artile as possible.

“Evil Trump” the supposed Russian Stooge, is responding to the FBI/CIA/etc DC clown show request to not allow his political allies access to the fake information the DC Clowns are using to conduct the Muller which hunt against him on the grounds of “national security”?

So the target of the DC clown show is supposedly protecting the DC clown show so it can go ahead and manufacture the ground to impeach him?

anyone really think Trump is that stupid?

This has to be one of the most mind boggleing inchorent articles the fake media has yet produced.

>>according to multiple people familiar with the discussion<<

The use of the term “multiple people” is used as a roadblock to prevent anyone from investigating the identity and statements of those who are being covered by this anonymous bulls*it, if indeed such people actually exist.

Let me add about the tarmac meeting between Lynch and Clinton, that in Lynch’s statement she said the meeting was “primarily social” and that “there was no discussion of any matter pending before the department or any matter pending before any other body.”

Her careful weasel words do not exclude the possibility of plotting how to get an FBI investigation started into Donald Trump.

The problem is that the FBI and DOJ have cried wolf to many times over classified information. The redacted info was not classified but to cover their butts.

Frankly the POLITICAL health of the nation NEEDS the information released to Nunes if not to the public as well. We can rebuild intelligence sources but must stop the deep state corruption that is tearing the nation apart protecting it’s treasonous political intrigues.
