Lookee, lookee, The famed, long term small bookstore, Kramerbooks, located in the Dupont Circle District of Washington, DC, opened its doors for business at 12:01 AM, Tuesday morning expecting an onslaught of excited customers with money in hand to get the "hot sell", James Comey book. Opps.....no one showed...not one customer. Nothing more needs to be said!!!

(Author’s note: I don’t consider myself at all prescient, but I certainly had James Comey’s number when I wrote the following article nearly two years ago, before the presidential election that he (and his far-left wife and children) thought Hillary would win. Now he is scrambling around, touting a book that was written for him, rationalizing his egregious (and possibly illegal) acts as former FBI Director, pouting like a schoolgirl, hurling epithets at the President of the United States who fired him, and demonstrating for all the world to see his self-aggrandizing, phony-baloney, preeningly narcissist nature. While he is no...

""FEDS DROP BOMBSHELL: Comey & Lynch Colluded with Clinton Campaign to Entrap, Wiretap Trump; Illegal Scheme Involved Entire U.S. Intel Community"""" Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department and James Comey’s FBI worked together with the Hillary Clinton campaign to entrap Donald Trump and associates — including his eldest son — prior to the 2016 presidential election, according to records and testimony of federal law enforcement insiders. One high ranking official in the Justice Department called it a sweeping “highly illegal” scheme to ensure Hillary Clinton’s election to the White House. “This was clearly a scheme using Justice (Department) resources and State (Department)...

A spokesperson for the office of special counsel Robert Mueller has released a warning about the media’s “many” fake news reports regarding the investigation into President Trump and Russian collusion, reports the Washington Times. “What I have been telling all reporters is that many stories about ohur investigation have been inaccurate,” the Mueller spokesperson said. “Be very cautious about any source that claims to have knowledge about our investigation and dig deep into what they claim before reporting on it. If another outlet reports something, don’t run with it unless you have your own sourcing to back it up.” The...

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss his review of Inspector General Horowitz report on the background for Andrew McCabe’s firing. With direct and specific oversight responsibility over the U.S. Department of Justice, Chairman Goodlatte is one of the key congressional leaders looking into the myriad of issues with the former DOJ and FBI officials running the agencies.

Former president George W. Bush said he believes Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, departing from President Trump, who has been skeptical of intelligence agencies’ findings that the Kremlin had interfered to help him win. “There’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled. Whether they affected the outcome is another question,” the 43rd president said at a summit in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. He added: “It’s problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results.” Bush has been critical of Russia, slamming it for working...

Mob, mob, mob. Mob, mob-ar-ann . . . That could be Joy Reid’s cover of the Beach Boys hit. Because when it comes to President Trump, MSNBC host Reid has a bad case of “mob” on the mind. Opening her show today with a discussion of James Comey’s book, Reid and her hand-picked guests made no fewer than 18 mentions of “mob” and other mob-related references to Trump. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Trump knows the Deep State, and he is not George W. Bush WARNING: The following is, necessarily, somewhat extensive reading because the web of deceit it outlines is itself complex. Media speculation over the meaning of President Trump’s pardon of Lewis “Scooter” Libby is predictable and wrong. Three examples:

They can’t eat Cohen until they drown him, and Cohen, a rather buoyant kind of fella’ REFUSES to be drowned. “One thing that is apparent but has not been stated this way: the swamp is full of alligators,” my friend Budd reminds me this morning. In our struggle for freedom and liberty we’re forgetting about the “Party of Wickedness”, writes my friend Paul. Special Counsel head honcho Robert Mueller III is neither Republican nor Democrat. He’s a ‘Party of Wickedness’ member and blows with the (swamp) wind.”

If the Russians were really trying to blackmail the incoming President of the United States, then why would FBI and Comey himself NOT do everything in their power to protect the incoming POTUS from the blackmail vs. using the blackmail information from the Russians to intimidate and blackmail the President? In other words if the fake paid for dossier by Hillary and the DNC was real, then the FBI and Comey are just as guilty if not more of collusion with the Russians. This is because they have been using it in order to intimate and blackmail the President Trump....

The game is over for James Comey before it has barely begun. The DOJ/FBI should be be ashamed of themselves for allowing the "low life" ego-maniac James Comey to a part of their once fine organization. Ya gotta ask yourself, where, in Gods name did the DOJ/FBI get characters and losers like James Comey from? That answer is clear and present, G.W. Bush, Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, and, on and on. Sad days for the once great, magnificent, honest, impartial DOJ/FBI, now reduced to being staffed with USA traitors...

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past 6 months, fired FBI Director James Comey has a book coming out Tuesday, called A Higher Loyalty. Its release has the media collectively tingling like Chris Matthews’ leg watching Barack Obama speeches. But will it matter? Make no mistake about it, the book will sell. James Comey will be showered with so much glowing media attention that he’ll look like those mythical Russian prostitutes from the non-existent video from the dossier at a water drinking contest. But at the end of the day, nothing will be changed. By...

WASHINGTON — James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, confirms in his new book that the bureau had already begun a criminal investigation focused on Hillary Clinton’s handling of her email in 2015 when her campaign and its allies excoriated journalists for reporting that such an inquiry was being contemplated. The New York Times reported in July 2015 that two inspectors general had made a criminal referral to the Justice Department recommending an investigation into whether Mrs. Clinton had mishandled sensitive information by using a private email server as secretary of state. Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, relying on a statement from...

James Comey’s new memoir is already a pre-publication media hit, but the former FBI director’s tell-all assault on President Donald Trump also poses major risks—not only for Comey’s personal reputation but for the wider Russia investigation he helped launch. Trump and his allies bombarded Comey with insults Friday, targeting his credibility and seeking to undermine his image as a nonpartisan law enforcement professional. On Twitter Friday, Trump called Comey an “untruthful slime ball,” while White House press secretary Sarah Sanders branded him a “discredited partisan hack.” Other critics accused Comey of cashing in on his celebrity to an unseemly degree....

Not all liberal media outlets are giving favorable coverage to former FBI Director James Comey's new book, A Higher Loyalty. One such media source is Vox which reminds its readers about why most liberals were clamoring for Comey to be fired...right up to the moment when President Donald Trump actually did fire him. The reason for Vox writer Matthew Yglesias's ire towards Comey in his April 13 article is that Comey admitted in his book that he believed the polls that predicted Hillary Clinton was certain to win the 2016 election so he figured his re-opening of the probe into her...

Are these the end times for both America and the world? An out-of-control ego intent on promoting its own interests -- with no regard for the usual norms and conventions -- dishes the dirt with cheap shots at opponents and boorish jokes about their personal appearance. In so doing, it diminishes the standing and the status of one of America's great institutions, risking deadly confrontation and a spiral into war. Yes, James Comey's Ego has a lot to answer for.

While Katie wrote up the scathing IG report that cited the many times former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lied under oath to investigators and the DOJ inspector general about the bureau’s investigations into Hillary Clinton, it also re-confirmed something that fell by the wayside in recent months. That the FBI was indeed investigating the Clinton Foundation, something that then-FBI Director James Comey refused to confirm or deny. It also detailed the fallout from the leaks to The Wall Street Journal, which reported on the friction between the DOJ and FBI over the Clinton Foundation probe: The Clinton Foundation Investigation...

President Donald Trump reacted to the latest inspector general report released by the FBI on fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. “He LIED! LIED! LIED!” Trump wrote on Twitter on Friday, calling the report a “total disaster” for McCabe. The report detailed that McCabe purposefully misled investigators about leaking details about the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation to a reporter. The president added that McCabe was “totally controlled” by former FBI Director James Comey. “McCabe is Comey!!” he wrote. “No collusion, all made up by this den of thieves and lowlifes!” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders added her own condemnation...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is reportedly telling people around him that he is at peace with the manner in which he has conducted himself in his tireless efforts to preserve the Washington, DC Deep State and take down a sitting president, and is prepared to be fired. Well, cool. President Trump should accommodate him. Had the President taken this well-deserved action Friday morning, the story would have already been buried under at least four subsequent news cycles, because that’s how many the nation experienced...

Former CIA Director John Brennan on Friday went after President Trump over his attacks on former FBI Director James Comey, tweeting that Trump’s “kakistocracy is collapsing after its lamentable journey.” “As the greatest Nation history has known, we have the opportunity to emerge from this nightmare stronger & more committed to ensuring a better life for all Americans, including those you have so tragically deceived,” Brennan tweeted at Trump.
