Rep. Jordan Tells Rosenstein He Has a Week to 'Get His Act Together'
2018-06-29
[Townhall] Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray are on Capitol Hill Thursday morning to testify about the FBI's conduct during the 2016 presidential election. The House Judiciary Committee members had plenty to ask the two men about the recent IG report that exposed the anti-Trump bias of some FBI agents. One of those agents, Peter Strzok, met with committee members behind closed doors this week.

The committee is also fed up with the apparent resistance from the DOJ and FBI for documents related to the agencies' conduct, specifically whether informants spied on the Trump campaign.

#15  Since when did these pigs in Washington let laws get in the way of things?

#14  Laws are for little people?

#13  Ref #12. Unless something has changed over the past 20 years, one small problem. Executive Order (EO) 12333 prohibits collection on US Citizens. Circumventing 12333 for the purpose of collection is a big no, no.

Using information collected by a foreign intelligence entity for the purpose of legal action against a US Citizen, also a no, no. Again, unless something has drastically changed.

#12  MI6 can spy on Americans; the US agencies can spy on Brits. As fellow Echelon members they can trade info. Having the info isn't against the arcane rules if you've obtained it "legally"

#11  When you wake Woodrow at #10, wake me as well. (Caution - use a phone)

#10  Wake me when the GOP idiots demand firings not impeachment. When they demand charges of sedation treason (with long prison) not "house cleaning".

Spineless twits never will.

#9  Yes. The case is fabricated. Now Trump can play it for as long as he wants, any way he wants. Win-win-win.

#8  @JohnQC - It's also too soon. Dragging this mess into the sunlight is a move that could save a Republican House in '18 or shore up a 2nd Trump term in '20 if well-timed (read "dropped very close to election day).

#7  Maybe at this point Trump should just de-classify the whole shebang and release it to Congress and eventually the American people? I'm thinking the reason that he doesn't is there might be a lot in the documents that would jeopardize a criminal investigation or unsealed grand jury indictments.

#5  Rosenstein made an enemy in Jordan, which a wise bureaucrat would not have done. There is a move to replace Ryan with Jordan, and though that seems unlikely at present, Jordan should have a bright career.

#2  Well, what do you expect from the colonials?

#1  It is very likely the FBI and others were and continue to be involved in a clandestine intelligence collection effort and disinformation campaign against candidate and now President Donald Trump.

The larger question is, did they use a foreign intelligence agency (Christopher Steele and MI6) to help facilitate a classic 'false flag' effort ?

The evidence is certainly pointing in that direction.
