Ratcliffe: James Comey “under investigation for violations of the espionage act”?…

If this were anyone except Judiciary Committee member John Ratcliffe, it would be easier to ignore…. but it’s not. John Ratcliffe is a very tempered and deliberate voice; he has a strong reputation in DC and doesn’t speak in riddles, hype, or disingenuous terms.

During an interview with Maria Bartiromo discussing the recent comments by former FBI Director James Comey, Ratcliffe replied [Must Watch at 04:10 ]:

[@04:10] “Gosh, y’ know, as I listen to that, Jim Comey is proud and wouldn’t change a thing? Really? He’s proud that he put Peter Strzok in charge of investigating Donald Trump? The same Peter Strzok who, while he was investigating Donald Trump, promised to “f*ck” him and to “stop” him? He’s proud of his hand-picked deputy director, Andrew McCabe who lied under oath; lied to the inspector general, and has been criminally referred for that?

And we know Jim’s proud of himself, but the inspector general found him insubordinate, and many of us believe that he either is or should be under investigation for violating the espionage act; for recording his conversations with President Trump in the oval office, and then intentionally leaking classified information to start this investigation”…

Note: “is, or should be”. So there’s a possibility of “is”.

Remember, Ratcliffe is one of only a handful of people who saw, and continues to see, all of the highly classified intelligence documents (fully unredacted) currently under consideration for declassification by President Trump. Ratcliffe was also strongly considered for the U.S. Attorney General position. This is a deliberate man.

You’d think.

...but what is that anti-lynching legislation about?

After the IG’s report, waiting for the shoe (or the other shoe) to drop....

[Robert DeLong]

John Ratcliffe is or should be under investigation.

The title is just a wee bit misleading, or Ratcliffe realized he shouldn't have said "is" so he added or should be as a CYA maneuver.

The perp walk should be historic when the dominoes fall.

Funny, Anderson pooper never asked these direct questions of Comey.

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER

During an interview with Maria Bartiromo...

She has a natural way of getting people to open up...

I wager that the Comey facts are now before a grand jury.They do not need to wait for the Inspector General’s report.The report will be icing on the grand jury cake.

Expect Comey to be indicted by July.
