Joe diGenova: Comey, McCabe, and Strzok Are 'Going Down' Over FISA Warrant Abuses
2018-09-16
[PJ] In the wake of newly released text messages between fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, former federal prosecutor Joe diGenova said he believes "the walls are closing in" on Obama-era FBI and Department of Justice Department officials.

Damning new texts obtained by Fox News this week show former FBI lovebirds Strzok and Page talking about government employees "leaking like mad" and media outlets competing for scoops in the run-up to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

"The walls are closing in, but they're not closing in on the president. They're closing in on the FBI and the Department of Justice under President Obama," diGenova said on Fox News' "Hannity" Thursday night.

He explained that the new Strzok-Page texts exposed a strategy to "illegally and criminally" release Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant information, including releasing the name of a U.S. citizen caught up in the surveillance abuse.

"By mentioning Carter Page, they have now created massive civil liability for everybody involved in revealing Carter Page's name," diGenova declared. He cited the names of former FBI counterintelligence director Bill Priestap, former FBI director James Comey, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, and former FBI general counsel James Baker as people who are particularly vulnerable to civil liability.

Hope your unfinished thought is only that.

The Clintons are adept at putting people between themselves and those who end up dead. It has always been a bit of a surprise to me how they have been able to amass power around themselves so that others end up doing their dirty work. I suppose it is a matter of using compromising info, money, threats, extortion and the promises of power--all the things the DS thrives upon.

I'd be happy with a good draining of the swamp to discourage others from repeating the evil and criminality. Maybe I'm in a Pollyanna mood today but I've got a feeling this coming week and the run-up to the midterms will be "revealing" and result in good changes.

#2  I hope your optimism is restored Besoeker. We have an unelected body of DOJ and FBI officials, an opposing Dem candidate, and the DNC trying to change the outcome of the 2016 presidential elected by lying and creating phony documents.
