[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] FBI Agent Peter Strzok failed his polygraph and his supervisors were notified on January 16th, 2016, his results were “out of scope“. Meaning he failed his polygraph test. Yet he was never removed from any responsibilities; and against dept policy, he did not have his clearance revoked until he could clear.

As Mickey Kaus said nearly two decades ago - 'do you know how difficult it is to fire a Federal employee?' Here's your proof.

Having worked with elementary teachers across the USA in the 70's and early 80's, it became hard enough for me to digest that we had such bad teachers, that I left the business.
We couldn't get rid of them.
And yes, Strzok is to testify on Tuesday, but as Trey Growdy said, "I had 11 hours with him in closed session. And asked every question I wanted. But in open session, I have five minutes."

There are 535 members in the Congress, 100 senators and 435 representatives. From that number only 3 or 4 (Nunes, Gowdy, Jordan), appear to be somewhat actively engaged in the current FBI-Russian scandal.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] CNN host Brian Stelter just claimed Trump is “poisoning the American people” by unfairly attacking the media and selling the idea that the press is a true enemy of the public, filled with fake-newsers, the Daily Caller reported.
His message is clear. Trump’s divisive; he’s dividing the nation. He’s not a uniter. Forget the fact the media started the whole “Trump’s a circus” divide-and-conquer messaging back during the campaign. Plenty of others besides Stelter have opined similarly.
“Trump’s First State of the Union: A Divisive President Delivers a Dictator’s Speech,” a columnist at Variety once wrote.
Or this, from a writer at the New York Times: “A Divider, Not a Uniter, Trump Widens the Breach.”
Or this, from Time: ‘How Donald Trump Made DACA More Divisive With One Phrase” and another, “Donald Trump’s Unprecedented, Divisive Speech.”
The list goes long. But the united theme’s the same.
“Most Americans agree,” summed one Washington Post headline. “President Trump is divisive.”
This is the part where Trump’s supposed to be cowed. Right? But oops, missed the cue card, he’s not playing by the rules. He’s creating his own game. He rants on Twitter, he mocks the media, he speaks of “Rocket Man” and “Pocohontas” and “fake news” and how votes for Democrats are actually votes for MS-13, and all along his White House rarely, if ever, walks back or shies from weighing in on a range of issues using other similarly labeled “divisive” rhetoric.

So you believe you're above criticism, Costanza? I figured that shit out about forty years ago, asshole, and I'm certain that millions of others have reached that same conclusion in the past couple of years. It bears repeating - I believe that might be the biggest contribution Trump has made since he began campaigning, exposing this truth. Now go fuck yourself with a telephone pole.

From the perspective of breaking up the cronyism, exposing corruption, and shining a light on the elites hypocrisy you want to call him divisive? OK, I'll agree. But from the blue collar side of this great nation, the working class in what they call fly over states, we call him the man who was sent to clean up the DC mess before its too late....

[THEHILL] Protesters confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as he was leaving a restaurant in his home state on Saturday.
The group threatened to vote McConnell out of office as he walked out of the Bristol Bar & Grille in Louisville and got into his car, The Courier Journal reported.
Video recordings of the encounter show other demonstrators chanting "Abolish ICE" and "No justice, no peace."
A protester demanded to know where the migrant children where after being separated from their families.
"Where are the babies, Mitch?" a protester was recorded asking in a video. The comments seemingly come in reference to the thousands of migrant children who were separated from their parents from April to June under the Trump administrations "zero tolerance" policy.
Trump moved to end family separations last month by signing an executive order, though no provision was made for the families who had already been separated.
A federal judge gave the Trump administration until late Saturday to release a list of the roughly 100 migrant children under the age of five who were detained separately from their parents upon being apprehended after entering the United States illegally.

I think the libs finally overplayed their hand with these goon tactics, and I predict this will result in McConnell pulling out all the stops to get Trump's SC pick to pass the Senate (i.e., leaning / strong-arming Collins & Murkowski to vote yes) just to spite them.

Don't know what exactly the "abortion anywhere, anytime, for no reason at all, at the taxpayers' expense" crowd is worrying about. The states will be about as likely to follow Washington DC's lead as they seem to be on marijuana and sanctuary, which is to say not very much at all.

[ConservativeTreehouse] Validating Paul Sperry’s tweet. Yes, FBI Agent Peter Strzok failed his polygraph and his supervisors were notified on January 16th, 2016, his results were "out of scope". Meaning he failed his polygraph test. Yet he was never removed from any responsibilities; and against dept policy, he did not have his clearance revoked until he could clear.
This was discussed during the Rosenstein testimony and overlooked by most. WATCH:
After Strzok was recently removed from official responsibility within the FBI, his security clearances were retroactively revoked. That revocation was due to OPR review and was a retroactive revocation action initiated by career officials within the FBI to cover-up (ie. CYA) the two-and-a-half years he was allowed to work when he should not have been.
Current FBI officials, including Trump appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray, are covering up the scandal within the FBI in a misguided effort to save the institution.
This is the same reason the FBI hid the Strzok/Page memos and emails away from IG review and congressional oversight.
There is a massive, ongoing, ’institutional’ cover-up within the DOJ and FBI. These are simply examples highlighting the severity therein. Peter Strzok and his legal team are counting on the need for the institution to be protected as their shield from any prosecution.
As long as AG Jeff Sessions, DAG Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Chris Wray and Deputy Director David Bowditch put the institution ahead of the need for accountability, there will be no repercussions against the former DOJ and FBI officials for unlawful conduct.

Similar to the failed or 'inconclusive Poly', suspension or revocation of a security clearance requires a bit of paperwork, justification, reasons, that sort of thing.
The process is governed by two executive orders. Executive order 12968 and / or executive order 10865 establish the initial framework for security clearance investigations and revocations.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
