[Politico] Former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday condemned President Donald Trump’s calls for a possible investigation into how special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry started, adding that it creates a troubling precedent.
During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Comey was asked about whether he feared possible counterinvestigations.
"I don't fear it personally. I fear it as a citizen," he said. "Right? Investigate what? Investigate that investigations were conducted? What would be the crime you’d be investigating? So it’s a terrible cycle to start."
Several days after Attorney General William Barr released his summary of Mueller’s report, Trump and his team have called for investigations into how the probe began.
"Hopefully, somebody is going to look at the other side," Trump told reporters late last month. The president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has also made similar statements.

What would be the crime you’d be investigating?
Well, for starters, how about that fraudulently obtained FISA warrant? Of course, it's no surprise that Amanpour didn't bother to ask him about that.

FYVM James. Obama, your boss, sicced about every agency he could against his perceived enemies, the CIA, FBI, ATF, BLM, IRS, DOJ, EPA and others. Comey, you are a misguided miscreant. You are a Clinton and Obama tool. You should have resigned in the face of all the wrongdoing. So again, FYVM. The Nuremberg defense didn't work yesterday and it won't today. Your phony moralizing and self-righteous indignation is transparent--about the only thing that was transparent from the last administration.
[Breitbart] While he was a high-ranking career Justice Department official, Bruce Ohr maintained a joint email account with his wife, Nellie, who was a contractor for the controversial Fusion GPS firm that produced the infamous, largely-discredited anti-Trump dossier, according to recently released testimony.
In a section of the testimony that remains largely unreported by the news media, Nellie Ohr admitted that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson "occasionally" sent messages to the joint email account that she shared with her husband.
In his own testimony, Bruce Ohr recounted maintaining direct contact with dossier author Christopher Steele even after the former British spy was terminated as an FBI source over reports that Steele was communicating with reporters. In doing so, Ohr lent credibility to a Republican House Intelligence Committee memo alleging that he served as a back-channel between the FBI and Christopher Steele, who penned the dossier for Fusion GPS.
The dossier was financed by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the DNC via the Perkins Coie law firm, which in turn funded Fusion GPS.
During Bruce’s time at the Justice Department, Nellie Ohr worked for Fusion GPS, where she was conducting research looking for connections between Russia and members of Donald Trump’s campaign, including Trump himself as well as the politician’s family, Nellie Ohr testified.
During the course of her testimony, reviewed in full by Breitbart News, Nellie Ohr divulged that she maintained a joint email account with her husband and that Simpson sent emails to that account. The October 19, 2018 testimony before a joint session of the House Judiciary and Government Reform and Oversight committees was released last week.
What double standards? We have standards for Republicans, and standards for Democrats. Can't have the same standards for both, you know!
[Yahoo] Alyssa Milano has been a vocal supporter of the #MeToo movement ‐ the former child star is often credited with popularizing the hashtag, though activist Tarana Burke is the movement’s true founder. And while the actress has spoken out against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct, she’s switching gears in the case of Joe Biden.
The former vice president and potential 2020 candidate has been accused by former Nevada state assemblywoman Lucy Flores of making her feel uncomfortable by touching her shoulders and kissing the back of her head at an event five years ago, saying she felt "powerless" at his "intimate behavior."
[Geller] How does the left reconcile this? It doesn’t have to. They are accountable to no one. But they viciously attack those of us who highlight Islamic oppression of gays.

...calling the conditions that illegal aliens were being detained in “abhorrent and inhumane” and a “reflection” of “white nationalism.”
According to the left, the white man is everyone's burden not to be tolerated. Do these people ever get tired of this rubbish. PC and identity politics, tools of the left to try to keep everyone confined to their dogma. #ResistPCandIP.

According to the Democratic Left, American Jews, quintessentially “white” and “privileged,” must be stripped of their power in order to isolate, marginalize, and destroy Israel — the proxy for capitalism and colonialism.
The Jewish people have been at survival far longer than the socialists or Muslims.
