-Lurid Crime Tales-
Hillary's Intent: What James Comey Missed
[American Thinker] James Mr. Magoo Comey, Director of the Federal Bureau of Magoo, while acknowledging that Hillary had put the country’s secrets on her home server ‐ i.e., without their protective coding ‐ could find no "intent" in her doing so. It just happened. Let’s unpack that.


Bill and Hillary Adjusted Gross Income.

2009/2010 - $13.1 million

2011 - $14.7 million

2012 - $19.7 million

2013 - $27.1 million

Hillary’s total "intent" as Secretary of State - $84.6 million

While these numbers are not out of line with the Clintons’ AGI in the surrounding years, the question still arises...What was this money being paid for? It can’t all be for speeches by Bill on diarrhea in Africa (as characterized by the inimitable Mark Steyn).

Shell-Shocked FBI Employees On Trump's 2016 Win: Trump Voters Are 'Poor, Lazy Pieces of S**t'
The poor darlings. Does anyone know if it was this bad before President Obama encouraged bad behaviour for eight years?
[Townhall] So, the Department of Justice’s inspector general dropped his report today. There were little notable nuggets here and there, but the most damning was a) saying then-FBI Director James Comey’s actions concerning how he handled the Hillary Clinton email probe during the 2016 election were extraordinary and insubordinate. So, there goes the liberal talking point that President Trump axed Comey to obstruct justice; Comey was given his pink slip in May of 2017. The second controversial aspect is the bias assessment. Besides Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, there are clear examples of bias from FBI employees. Comey is no exception either, especially at the outset of his book tour. But what people hang their hat on is the report saying there was no evidence that political bias generated partisan outcomes. That’ll be touched on in a separate post.

The examples of bias have been illustrated with the Strzok-Page, which number in the tens of thousands. The two FBI officials were having an extramarital affair, the texts were explicitly anti-Trump, and we now know Strzok assured Page that they would stop Trump from being president. Keep in mind, again, that Strzok was a top counterintelligence agent, he signed off on the counterintelligence probe into possible Russian collusion in July of 2016, and was part of the Hillary email probe. Once these texts were known, Special Counsel Robert Mueller removed Strzok, who has been reassigned to human resources; Page resigned in May. Yet, in this 500-page report, we have other FBI employees, reacting strongly to Trump’s 2016 win. It’s total shell shock. And some even took it a step further, bashing Trump voters as "poor," "lazy," and "pieces of s**t." you’d think these were transcripts from a meeting among Hillary Clinton’s inner circle (via DOJ/OIG) [p.417] [emphasis mine]:
But remember, according the IG Horowitz "there was no bias" involved in any of this.

#1  It isn't over yet. The IG Report is just opening the FIRST can of worms so we can get a good whiff of the Deep State....the Voters will have to vote in the mid terms and give some real direction to the cleanup and thorough sweep of the Donkey crap in all the DC ditches.

This is a war that will go on for a while. The Media has become an ally of the Comeys and the Pages and the Strzoks. They are not friends to ordinary American taxpayer with kids on the school bus.

The Media can't be trusted. They are as reliable as used car salesmen. You go anywhere near a Media person keep your hand on your brain and your balls. They want both. I would go so far as to think CNN and NBC are enemies of the American Public. We are just Lazy stinking stupid pieces of S**t to the Media.

Yes, as Trump said this week, fake news is the greatest danger to the U.S.. Its the communist/Marxist/deep state propaganda arm. The Obama regime spent 8 years creating this replica of a third world government whose purpose was tyranny.

#5  What do you call a counter-intelligence agent who is having an affair?

Fired. He's compromised, given foreign intelligence services a handle on him. Sounds he apparently also discussed cases with his side piece, he's shown he's not capable of keeping secrets.

Strzok should be fired and prosecuted for every violation that could conceivably apply.

#8  Shell-Shocked FBI Employees On Trump's 2016 Win: Trump Voters Are 'Poor, Lazy Pieces of S**t'

"Deplorable and unredeemable" is beginning to sound kinder and gentler (although the meaning is not much different). The elites don't think much of Trump's supporters. The "We're better than you" attitude comes through strong and clear.

Rod Rosenstein’s Subpoena Threat: He’s Conflicted, and He’s Acting Like It

On what planet is it necessary for Jeff Sessions to recuse himself but perfectly appropriate for Rod Rosenstein to continue as acting attorney general for purposes of both the Mueller investigation and Congress’s probe of Justice Department investigative irregularities?

Europe
Macron's wife was a cradle robbing teacher.
[FoxNews]The daughter of France’s first lady says she was about 9 years old when she first learned of the relationship between her mother and now French President Emmanuel Macron – when he was just 15 years old and she was a teacher at his high school.
So.. I guess.. that makes Macron a "Boy Toy"?

Trump attempting to Make America White Again: Analyst
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump’s targeting of immigrants who allegedly violate immigration and citizenship laws shows the depths of his contempt for people of color and his attempt to Make America White Again, according to Myles Hoenig, an American political analyst and activist.

The administration of US President Donald Trump is launching an unprecedented effort to strip US citizenship from thousands of immigrants who may have lied or falsified information on their naturalization forms.

The US government agency that oversees immigration applications is launching an office in Los Angeles, California, that will focus on identifying individuals who are suspected of cheating to get their American citizenship and seek to deport them.

“Although it is not a serious problem, only 305 cases in 28 years, the Trump administration is using all its resources, and more, to target immigrants who abuse citizenship laws,” said Hoenig, a former Green Party candidate for Congress.

“No one would truly deny that the federal government has a right, even an obligation, to ferret out those who abuse immigration law and achieve citizenship illegally. However, the message is clear coming from this administration. Immigration is seen as more of a threat to this country than nearly anything else,” Myles said in an interview with Press TV on Thursday.

“We don’t see the IRS hiring lawyers and accountants to target the very wealthy and corporations who hide their money overseas to avoid taxes. The military has admitted that it cannot account for trillions of dollars, or that amount has been improperly accounted for. That’s a big news story but no follow up on the government doing anything about it, likely because nothing would be done about it,” he added.

#4  Just remember most Latinos, which is an ethnic group, identify as white here and were so designated in the census as such till the Donk got the 'divide and conquer' game rolling in the census. That places the white population of the country to over 80 percent. Lost in the BS of the Left's 'diversity'/'multiculturalism', it is a white country.

Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 06/15/2018 10:17 Comments || Top||

#6  Given there were 6 MILLION excess white deaths during Obama's regime*, was Obama trying to make America colored? If Whites increase live births and reduce deaths to match long term trends, that is not racism.

Obama's anti white, anti capitalist and anti Christian policies were as deadly as the Holocaust.

*These excess deaths occurred among rural white middle aged women, and were frequently drug overdoses.

Comey says he did not know Weiner was Huma Abedin's husband

‏ @ProfMJCleveland

Everyone is laughing @Comey for not knowing Weiner was Huma Abedin's husband. But think about that for a minute: Comey thought some random dude had Hillary's emails on his laptop and didn't think twice about it.
