[The Federalist] Former FBI director James Comey's decision to leak FBI documents to a friend may have violated the FBI's employment agreement regarding unauthorized leaks.
During his testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, former FBI director James Comey revealed that he was the source of leaked memos about his conversations with Donald Trump surrounding the Russia investigation. Comey explained that he shared the memos with his friend, a professor at Columbia University, who then shared them with the New York Times, actions that may violate the FBI’s own employee agreement.
"My judgment was I needed to get [the memos] out into the public square," Comey said. "So I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. I didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel."

Special prosecutor snagging the Deep State. Maybe but I am suspicious. Comey sang his praises too highly, it makes me suspicious. Is Mueller a swamp thing or an honest cop?
#5
In this case replace "judgement" with "scheme" and this best describes Comey's intent. He is a vain man - with an excessively high opinion of himself...but, in the end produced nothing but shame for the FBI. Shame...that is his legacy.
Last weekend I trolled the Daily Mail's news site, discussing why Brits should be armed. I didn't get much of a rise, except from a couple of (I assume) young wimmin who said they didn't want white people in Britain shooting brown people.
Rather than waste my time trying to explain why her remark said more about her views of brown people than mine on guns, I concluded that Britain is just irrecoverable without a major, violent insurrection.
For that they'll need guns.
David Cordrea explicates why elites such as Kim Kardasian want to control your guns, but still have armed security.

a couple of (I assume) young wimmin who said they didn't want white people in Britain shooting brown people. So, I guess it's O.K. for brown people to kill white people? These young wimmin must have sawdust for brains.

Heh. I was being interviewed by some school kids about the fire/evac. Finished describing some of the memorable slides, nice kid goes, 'Woww...did you get any pictures?' Me: I was a bit busy dealing with the problem to take selfies.
Class does a funny laugh, as in yeah guess you would be.
Now, video is a handy tool, but I think of that dork in London who decided he was going to live-feed his death while giving a lecture on colloquialism. Turn the video on, set the phone/tablet down, and get to work on the real problem at hand. Even if you don't get good video, the audio is extremely helpful. Most important, live to joke about bad/no camera placement.

The only essential for a major, violent revolution is a large number of dead people.
That didn't happen with 9/11.
Instead the talking heads took to the airwaves almost immediately warning us to "not jump to conclusions" and the politicians decided what we needed to do was wage some sort of ambiguous "war" on some ambiguous target ("terror") while harassing the flying public.

[CityJournal] Theresa May has proved an apt pupil of the David Cameron school of political incompetence. Lacking principle, she is not even good at being unprincipled: a Machiavellian, it turns out, minus the cunning.
It did not help that she had the charisma of a carrot and the sparkle of a spade. Gotta give it to them perfidious Albions, they really know how to insult
...Technically, she won the election, in the sense that she received more votes than anyone else, but few voted for her with enthusiasm rather than from fear of the alternative. Her disastrous campaign included repeated genuflections in the direction of social democracy. Even after her defeat, moral if not quite literal, she burbled about a society in which no one was left behind--never mind that it would entail a society in which no one would be out in front, that is to say, a society resting in the stagnant pool of its own mediocrity.
Unfortunately, egalitarianism is a little like Islam in that, just as a moderate Muslim can always be outflanked by someone more Islamic than he, so an egalitarian can usually be outflanked by someone more egalitarian than he: and in the contest between the Conservatives and the Labour Party, no one will ever believe that the Conservatives are more devoted to equality of outcome than the Labour Party. May therefore chose her battleground with a perfect eye for defeat.

IIRC, after Cameron's resignation there was another candidate for PM who actually agreed with BREXIT. Whatever happened to her?

Theresa May was no doubt a terrible candidate but I think the idea of calling the election to get at true feel for what the voters want was not a bad idea as Brexit is a massive decision.
Next time the Conservatives should remember to be Conservative and elect a Conservative to lead them.
[American Thinker] In the wake of the James Comey spectacle in Congress Friday, it's pretty reasonable to see the double standards, the unasked questions, the bias toward one side of the political spectrum. So what would an intelligent citizen have to ask the former FBI director? How about this:
You said you wrote a memo on your meeting with Trump because you were afraid he would lie. So, why didn't you have your agents record the meeting with Hillary Clinton since she is a known liar? Was it because it was a "matter" and not a real investigation? Isn't it extremely odd that if it was an actual serious investigation that you din't have Hillary testify under oath?
Or this:
Isn't it true that when President Obama said he didn't see anything that jeopardized the nation's security in Hillary Clinton's illegal, unsecured private server that that was a message to the FBI and Justice Department not to charge her? Did you get queasy when Obama said that?
Or this:
Hadn't you essentially decided not to charge Hillary no matter what she did, since you essentially exonerated her prior to interviewing her? Had someone from Justice or the White House essentially sent the message to not to charge Hillary?
And let's not forget this:
You have said that the Justice Department and FBI have to be apolitical. Doesn't your and Loretta Lynch's pecial treatment of Hillary Clinton show how much politics actually influenced the decision not to charge her, despite her obvious guilt?
Can you give any other examples where a government official trafficked classified documents for years and was not charged?
[Daily Caller] The former attorney general under George W. Bush said Loretta Lynch made the Department of Justice "an arm of the Clinton campaign" by instructing then-FBI Director James Comey to mislead the public about the Clinton email investigation.
"What makes it egregious is the fact -- and I think it’s obvious that it is a fact -- that the attorney general of the United States was adjusting the way the department talked about its business so as to coincide with the way the Clinton campaign talked about that business,"
Michael Mukasey said in an interview with Newsmax on Friday.
"In other words, it made the Department of Justice essentially an arm of the Clinton campaign," added Mukasey, who served as the attorney general from 2007 until 2009. "That is a betrayal of the department and of its independence to illustrate that clearly that the attorney general was essentially in the tank for Secretary Clinton."
Comey testified on Thursday that Lynch successfully pressured him into using the Clinton campaign’s spin on the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.
[Vanity Fair of all places] Former F.B.I. director James Comey confirmed during his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday that it was Bill Clinton’s private meeting with former attorney general Loretta Lynch on the tarmac of a Phoenix airport last summer that ultimately led him to speak publicly about the bureau’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server.
Many believe the letter Comey wrote about Clinton’s e-mail servers cost her the election. Lynch said at the time that the two spent the 45-minute, unplanned meeting talking about golf, the recent Brexit vote, and their grandchildren, while some observers were upset about the optics of such a meeting at the time. The meeting convinced him to go public in an "ultimately conclusive way," Comey said during Thursday’s highly anticipated testimony.
Comey said on Thursday that he grew increasingly concerned when Lynch directed him to refer to the Clinton probe as a "matter," not an "investigation"--a linguistic parallel to how the Clinton campaign was describing what was, indeed, a criminal investigation. Comey said Lynch’s insistence made him "queasy," because it seemed the Justice Department was trying to align its public comments with those of the Clinton campaign.

They consistently forget to mention that this meeting was supposed to be clandestine, with all security ordered to shut up about it. It was only exposed due to a tip to an AZ reporter who wasn't so compliant

What if... as someone has suggested in this forum, the entire Sky Harbor event was classic Kabuki theater ?
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."
The 'chance' coming together at Sky Harbor in broad daylight, of such notables for the purpose of creating a 'hard place' from which Lynch must be removed. An indirect recusal faux protestation, which effectively put an end to the 'matter.'
The 'leaking' to a targeted county, of a PM (personal meeting) or other activity, between an intelligence agent and a recruited source, for the purpose of project or source termination by the targeted country; classic clandestine tradecraft.
And the knight in shining armor, our old friend and trusted confidant, FBI Director James Comey. What could possibly go wrong ?

Cui bono?
Hillary Clinton gained a considerable amount. The investigation (matter) was terminated. If nothing else, she gained time to push the issues of criminality off and potentially become president of the Untied States. Winning the election would have been the ultimate 'get out of jail free card.' Time, lost evidence, and foggy memories are tools of the swamp.
[American Thinker] Arguably, the most interesting part of the testimony of James Comey, the cowardly lion of the criminal justice system, before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday is not that President Trump was cleared of even a smidgeon of corruption and obstruction of justice but that President Obama’s Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, is up to her eyeballs in both. As the Daily Caller reports:
Loretta Lynch, the former attorney general under Barack Obama, pressured former FBI Director James Comey to downplay the Clinton email server investigation and only refer to it as a "matter," Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.
Comey said that when he asked Lynch if she was going to authorize him to confirm the existence of the Clinton email investigation, her answer was, "Yes, but don’t call it that. Call it a matter." When Comey asked why, he said, Lynch wouldn’t give him an explanation. "Just call it a matter," she said....
Earlier in his testimony, Comey said Lynch instructed Comey not to call the criminal investigation into the Clinton server a criminal investigation. Instead, Lynch told Comey to call it a "matter," Comey said, "which confused me."
Comey cited that pressure from Lynch to downplay the investigation as one of the reasons he held a press conference to recommend the Department of Justice not seek to indict Clinton.
Comey also cited Lynch’s secret tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton as a reason he chose to hold the press conference, he said, as he was concerned about preserving the independence of the FBI.
This is far worse than President Trump asking Comey in a private conversation to wrap up the Flynn investigation after Flynn was dismissed as National Security Adviser. This was a director order by Comey’s immediate superior to align his rhetoric with the Clinton campaign spin. This is what Comey did, calling it a "matter" and not a criminal investigation, which is the only thing the FBI does. Couple this submissive compliance to an order to help the Clinton campaign with their spin with the meeting on the tarmac between Lunch and Bill Clinton, the husband of the target of that criminal investigation, and you have an obvious case for charging Lynch with obstruction of justice.
If Comey was concerned about preserving the integrity of the FBI, he wouldn’t have leaked the memo of his private conversation with President Trump to the New York Times through a third party. That memo, prepared on a government computer by a government employee on government time, is the property of the U.S. government and the U.S. taxpayer. Its unauthorized dissemination is a clear violation of the Federal Records Act and executive privilege. Comey was charged to find leakers, not be the leaker-in-chief.

If Trump doesn't drain the swamp bigly, these swamp creatures will keep returning like Freddy Krueger on steroids in "Ground Hog's Day" to take pot shots from the Deep State to take him down during his entire tenure. Unless he does, he will always be dealing with distracting brush fires.

JQC, I'm afraid that despite his best intentions draining the swamp will be too big a job for one man with limited time.
Unless the congress steps up to rewrite the civil service regs (stop laughing damn you) to facilitated swamp draining I doubt that there will be lasting success.

Public unions in government are a problem as well as civil service regs. There are something like 200 unions in federal government. Government unions.
[American Thinker] In a recently published book, The Ranger Way, Kris "Tanto" Paronto provides readers with extensive insight into what was going through his mind as he fought for his life and the lives of those around him on September 11th, 2012, and also breaks down those experiences into the lessons learned.
Paronto’s résumé is very impressive. A former Army Ranger from 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and a private security contractor he has been deployed throughout South America, Central America, the Middle East, and North Africa. Many might know him as a member of the CIA Annex Security Team that responded to the terrorist attack in Benghazi. Previously, he worked with the U.S. Government's Global Response Staff, the U.S. State Department High Threat Protection Program, and the Blackwater Security Consulting firm in high-threat environments around the world.
He looks at the intelligence leaks today, where the British have said they will no longer share intelligence information with the U.S. and the Israelis blames the American media for outing them as a source, and wonders why nothing was ever linked about Benghazi, about which questions still remain: what did President Obama and Hillary Clinton know and when, who gave the stand-down order, and why weren’t the readily available military units deployed? Kris told American Thinker, "I really thought someone within the Agency would step up and tell the truth. This is when I saw the dirty side of government, seeing a cover-up of lies that included President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Patrick Kennedy, and Charlene Lamb. They along with the CIA acting director, Mike Morell, were entrenched within the political machine. It was disheartening and very disappointing. But to emphasize, it was not the guys and gals on the ground."
The book describes an important tool to thrive, take responsibility. This mentality should be relatable for any person, unless your name is Hillary Clinton. Kris describes her as "arrogant. I want to be a thorn in her side. She sees herself as above the law. Yet, she leaked classified information, used open servers, and left people to die in Benghazi. She can rationalize away anything and puts herself before anyone else. I believe 90% of the national security people truly believe she would have made a terrible president."
Kris also blames the national media. A quote from the book emphasizes how they spin the facts to favor the Obama administration, "If you want to take CNN’s word over a Marine’s, go right ahead. I’ll take the Marine’s word one hundred percent of the time." This was in response to a question asked about the stand-down order given by "Bob," the CIA Benghazi Chief.
Another life lesson: do not be afraid to ask a question. Kris believes good leaders "would be happy with questions. ’Bob’ should have realized he was out of his element and asked questions of us, the experts. He pretended he knew what he was doing and it cost lives. I truly believe if we were sent out almost initially those at the compound would still be alive, instead of telling us we could not leave."
At no time did he ever think of giving up and not speaking out. This is why he continues to want to reform a broken system. "It needs to be purged. The intelligence community should be about fighting terrorism, not leaking to support some agenda. They utilize the left-wing media outlets by putting out fake news. They leak stuff illegally to news agencies because they dislike the current administration. They are too heavily involved in politics instead of just doing their job."
He realizes he is fighting a new battle. An important principle: have a battle strategy that strives to reach a goal by defining the mission’s importance. "We have a new combat area where we must speak out against politicians, TV, and news media personalities. Those of us in Benghazi were part of the Special Ops community and needed to be creative thinkers. We went through a process of anger, where we watched everything spin out of control, to realizing we must develop a strategy to fix and counter the false narrative. We are done just sitting on the sidelines. Military personnel have integrity, honor, and are patriotic. Maybe the national security agencies should recruit from the military because our love for country is stronger than our political views."
An important lesson Kris wants to convey is, "Commit to owning errors when you make them, learning from your mistakes, and acting with integrity. These upper-echelon national security officials cannot admit when they are wrong. Maybe, they are taught it in a class on the Farm. They should have the strength to say a mistake was made here. For example, I do not think it was a coincidence that David Petraeus stepped down as CIA Director after an IT complaint was filed. People should know that on September 12th in Tripoli all the contractors were flown out to Germany leaving only the CIA staffers. No one wanted us talking to him. He was given the wrong story, which is when one CIA staffer had the courage to file the IT report. I now know it was all corruption."
In reading this book, Americans will learn that Kris is definitely not a politically correct kind of guy. He persevered through the Benghazi tragedy and wants others to learn how they can succeed through life. Having integrity, courage, and faith in G-d has allowed him to overcome life’s hardships and he hopes his own life lessons can be helpful to others.

This is when I saw the dirty side of government, seeing a cover-up of lies that included President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Patrick Kennedy, and Charlene Lamb. They along with the CIA acting director, Mike Morell, were entrenched within the political machine.
She [Hillary] sees herself as above the law. Yet, she leaked classified information, used open servers, and left people to die in Benghazi. She can rationalize away anything and puts herself before anyone else.
Kris, we have seen this too. 60 + million also saw it. BTW, thanks for speaking up. Swamp draining and rolling back this mess will continue.
[Ynet] The US president wants the Paleostinian leader to adopt Egypt and Jordan’s commitment to a real war on terror. If Abbas agrees, it will be the end of the dream to ’liberate Paleostine through an armed struggle.’ How will he explain that to Paleostinian refugees and to the offspring the people he marched with on the paths of terror?
US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s statement in his meeting with Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... in Bethlehem, that "peace won’t come where terror is rewarded," is nothing less than a historical and pivotal statement, as it touches the more exposed nerves of the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict. Trump yearns to implement the moderate Arab-Sunni model in the "territories"--like Egypt and Jordan, for example.
The extent of anti-Israeli incitement in the two countries, which have peace agreements with us, is just as high as in the "territories." The verbal attacks launched by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and Jordan’s King Abdullah on Israel’s leaders, as a sort of tax they are paying oppositional elements in their countries, are pretty "legitimate" as well in the Middle East. Nevertheless, the Egyptian president and Jordanian king’s commitment to a real war on terror is the model that the United States would like to see in the Paleostinian Authority territories as well. Will this happen with Abbas?
The chances for that are not high. People argue that in spite of Trump’s short time in office, he rushed to draw operative conclusions about the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict. It seems to me that in light of the current state of affairs across the West Bank and the Gazoo Strip, he was uncompelled to study the issue too intensively and thoroughly. Trump immediately realized that even if Abbas wears a suit, talks quietly and moderately and repeats again and again that he is "extending a hand towards peace," the Paleostinian leader is still committed to terror.
Abbas, Trump believes, is not mature enough yet for the changes the US is planning in the Middle East, which is why the American president raised the bar very high for Abbas in Bethlehem: He is willing to let the Paleostinians keep the spots, as long as they bid farewell to the leopard traits.
What is this about? It’s not just the high monthly salary paid to whoever sheds more Israeli blood, or the monuments and streets commemorating faceless myrmidons who murdered Israeli babies in their beds. It’s not just the glorification, which the West has finally began detesting, of "freedom fighters" like terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who murdered at least 37 Israelis in the bus massacre in March 1978 with her accomplices. It’s not just the kindergartens in the "territories," which display jacket wallahs’ boom belts on the doll and puzzle shelves. It’s also Abbas himself.
Abbas has a proven terrorist reputation. It has been claimed that he was one of the criminal masterminds of our athletes’ murder in the 1972 Munich Olympics and stood by Yasser Arafat and Abu Jihad in the most difficult junctions of terror. Western leaders are eager to grant faceless myrmidons a sort of rehabilitation. Nevertheless, until today, not a single American leader has demanded that the Paleostinians change, but really change. Neither Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... nor Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... , and not even the George Bushes, held a gun to any Paleostinian leader’s head and demanded that he take a step which almost means political suicide. Abbas is required to give up the splendid idea which every Paleostinian has been educated on since the day he was born--the liberation of all of Paleostine through an armed struggle and the Paleostinians' return to Paleostine.
Abbas is supposed to ignore the refugees in the camps, who are dreaming of returning to the occupied homeland. He is supposed to turn his back on the second and third generations of the people who marched with him on the paths of terror for years. In fact, Trump had demanded that Abbas betray the path and doctrine of Mufti Amin al-Husseini and Sheikh al-Qassam, and disconnect from the ideological basis that Fatah and the PLO were founded on. The meaning, without a doubt, is loss of control for the rais over the street, over the organization and over the Paleostinian people.
Trump, therefore, is seeking to replace the Paleostinian people... He may actually, however, lead to the replacement of Abbas.

I do not give a damn how you explain it, Abu Mazen. Maybe your own history with blowing up Olympics could open a door how not to act.
For if you ever go Arafat on US again in your phony quest, Israel should just forget about the asshole fundies paid by foreigners, that could not even get into Jordan. Which also happens to be perched on the Land of My Beloved Israel.
None of this is yours, do you understand?
As far as I AM concerned, Israel has all right to run the invaders off of GODS LAND.
Especially bloodthirsty heathen with no code.
I will go Old Testament on you if you let the bad guys into your dens of hatred. To Face Israel, This last punishment for you ...
Scorecards! Gitcher scorecards here! You can't tell the players without a scorecard!
[MANILATIMES.NET] WHEN President Duterte mentioned in a talk that imported muscle would regroup in Mindanao after their rout in the Middle East, I greeted the statement with some skepticism. But with the Marawi incident and the discovery of imported muscle among the Maute band, I thought that the President must be some sort of Nostradamus.
As background, the Maute group, also known as the IS-Ranao, which figured prominently in the Marawi siege, is a radical Islamist group composed of former guerrillas of the secessionist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) guand some imported muscle. The group is led by Abdullah Maute, the alleged founder of a Dawlah Islamiya, or Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... based in Lanao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines. The group already figured in a clash with Army troops in February 2016 that ended with the capture of their headquarters in Butig, Lanao del Sur. The group is thought to have over 100 members and was supplied with equipment by a foreign terrorist. They are said to be affiliated with Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian Islamist terror group.
