Has FBI Director James Comey Achieved An Unhealthy Level Of Power In Washington?

FBI director James Comey said Russia’s cyber intruders were “unusually loud,” as though they “wanted us to see what they were doing.”

One of the most important things we learned Monday from the House Intelligence Committee hearings on Russian influence of the 2016 elections was that the hackers may have wanted to get caught. FBI director James Comey said Russia’s cyber intruders were “unusually loud,” as though they “wanted us to see what they were doing.”

That’s counterintuitive. The Russians have officially denied taking active measures in the 2016 election. They have complained that the toxic environment in Washington has scuttled any chance for a reset in the relationship with the U.S. So if Kremlin proxies were meddling in the U.S., why would they want us to know?

Comey says this is because the specter of Russian interference in and of itself instills doubt about our electoral process. It gets people to freak out. It calls into question the legitimacy of the election Donald Trump just won. It divides us.

If that was the mission, then: mission accomplished.

Just consider Monday’s hearing. It was really two hearings. Democrats made the case that Trump associates had deceived the public about their meetings with Russians and that there was at least a circumstantial case that they coordinated with Russia to influence the election against Hillary Clinton. Republicans meanwhile raised the prospect that they may call senior Obama administration officials to find out who disclosed monitored phone calls between Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Russia’s ambassador, Sergey Kislyak.

This doesn’t even factor in the bombshell announcement from Comey that there has been an active counter-intelligence investigation into Trump since late July. The FBI has investigated presidents before, but the bureau has never confirmed such a probe while it was ongoing. The very fact of the investigation effectively neuters Trump’s presidency in what is supposed to be his honeymoon period.

All of that said, it would be a mistake to put all of this on the Russians. They did hack leading Democrats and doled out tidbits through WikiLeaks before voters went to the polls. Comey confirmed that Russian hackers probed some of the state voter rolls as well. The intelligence community’s report in December concluded that Russia also ran propaganda against Clinton through its television network, RT, and worked with an army of online trolls to defame her.

But none of this gets to the real dilemma for the republic at the moment. The director of the FBI will in a practical sense determine the legitimacy of our elected president. This makes Comey the most powerful person in Washington.

It would be nice to blame the Russians for this sorry state of affairs, but really we can blame only ourselves.

This part of the story begins a month before the bureau begins snooping around about Russia’s effort to influence the election. On June 27, on a tarmac in Phoenix, Attorney General Loretta Lynch met with Bill Clinton for about 45 minutes. We still don’t know all the details of that conversation, but the appearance of impropriety in light of the bureau’s own investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email server was enough for Lynch to recuse herself from that process.

Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton meet in Phoenix

That left Comey in the position of being both the cop and the prosecutor. Not even a week later, the FBI director chastised Clinton for her recklessness with the private server, but said no reasonable prosecutor would recommend bringing charges. Republicans were aghast. In subsequent testimony before Congress, Comey promised to keep lawmakers informed of any further developments in the case. He did just that on Oct. 28, when he informed Congress the bureau had learned of new emails in an unconnected case and would be checking them in the week leading up to the election. It turns out it was a false alarm, but to this day, the Clinton camp believes Comey’s announcement did serious political damage to the candidate.

Trey Gowdy Dismantles Every Loretta Lynch Lie

Now enter Trump. The new attorney general, Jeff Sessions, recused himself from the Trump investigation because of his role as a surrogate on the Trump campaign and because he falsely denied having met with Russian officials. Yet again, an attorney general has elevated Comey to play an outsize role in our politics.

This is no way to run a great power. It’s also a no-win situation for the FBI. After Monday’s marathon hearing we are left with more questions than answers. Why did Comey, for example, confirm an ongoing investigation into Trump’s associates, but remain mum on whether the bureau would look into who leaked Flynn’s monitored phone calls to the press? Why couldn’t Comey shed any light on what James Clapper, former director of national intelligence, told NBC earlier this month? He said he knew of no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Why did Comey opt not to inform Congress about the Trump investigation in the summer or fall, when he held out the prospect that the Clinton probe would be reopened?

Much of this is on the FBI director. But it’s also an indictment of our current political elites. The last two attorneys general made errors that forced them to abdicate their constitutional responsibility. The steady stream of leaks about the Trump investigation also forced Comey’s hand. Let’s not forget Trump’s own tweets, in which he falsely accused Obama of wiretapping him, which prompted members of both parties to demand Comey address the allegations in open session.

Trump now has Comey’s investigation hanging over his presidency. It’s an irony of course. The man Democrats say helped Trump win the election may end up providing Congress with the means to impeach him. For this sorry state of affairs, Washington only has itself to blame. source

 


 

Conspiracy Theory

As ‘Twitter Files’ Show Conclusive Proof That FBI Censored Free Speech Of American Citizens, Democrats Release Trump’s Tax Returns

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The FBI repeatedly grilled Twitter execs about censorship on the social media platform in the summer of 2020 — insisting that the company provide more information about removing ‘state propaganda’ from the site, according to the latest Twitter Files release.

The United States government invented the term ‘conspiracy theory’ in the aftermath of the execution of President John F. Kennedy by our government after they released the completely fraudulent ‘Warren Report’ to cover their tracks. But the conspiracy theorists were right, Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John Kennedy, proof of that being the shocking execution of Oswald in the police station by Jack Ruby. So the FBI and the CIA labeled anyone who refused to believe their cock-and-bull story a ‘conspiracy theorist’. Now that the FBI has been caught red-handed censoring free speech as recently revealed in the stunning ‘Twitter Files’, they are saying that anyone who believes their lying eyes is a conspiracy theorist. This is why the Democrats released Donald Trump’s tax returns yesterday, in the hopes it’ll stop you from focusing on the FBI.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:17 (KJB)

From our founding, NTEB has never shied away from a good, solid conspiracy theory as the majority of them are telling you the truth. What you find when you investigate a matter for yourself usually runs counter to the government version, like what actually happened on 9/11. When you understand that the main stream media is not in the business of telling you the truth but feeding you an agenda, things clear up pretty quick from that point on. If Donald Trump lied on his taxes, then that affects Donald Trump. But if the FBI conspired with Twitter to shut down the voices of constitutionally-protected free speech practicing Americans, then that problem affects 355 million people. If the media reported the truth, which story do you think would be in the headlines right now?

Latest ‘Twitter Files’ show FBI bullied executives over not reporting ‘state propaganda’ enough

FROM THE NY POST: The agency’s Foreign Influence Task Force — which deals with cyber threats — interrogated Twitter on its reporting about official state media actors’ use of the site, according to emails unearthed by independent journalist Matt Taibbi in what he dubbed the “Twitter Files Supplemental” Sunday night. San Francisco FBI agent Elvis Chan pressured former Twitter trust and safety chief Yoel Roth in July 2020 for more information about how they prevented bad actors from using the platform, according to screengrabs of email correspondence posted by Taibbi.

Chan was not satisfied with Twitter’s indication that it “had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors on your platform,” the emails show. Roth, in return, commented on the persistence of the agency, stating that he was “perplexed” by the probing inquiry.

“I’m frankly perplexed by the requests here, which seem more like something we’d get from a congressional committee than the Bureau,” he said in an email to his team.

Roth added that he was not “particularly comfortable with the Bureau (and by extension the [Intelligence Community]) demanding written answers.”

In another email, Roth said he felt the FBI’s line of questioning was flawed since Twitter had clearly acknowledged that “official state propaganda is definitely a thing on Twitter.” The FBI said its requests to the social media platform were a normal procedure for the agency.

“The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities,” the agency told Taibbi.

Last Friday, Taibbi said the FBI and Twitter’s relationship had a “master-canine quality” and that the two parties were in “constant and pervasive” contact. The FBI treated the social media giant like a “subsidiary,” he added, and constantly flagged numerous Twitter accounts for purportedly harmful “misinformation” beginning in January 2020. READ MORE

When The FBI Raided Mar-A-Lago, They Had Plenty Of Time To Look Through Melania Trump’s Closet, But Have No Interest In Hunter Biden’s Laptop. Why Not?

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

FBI agents scoured Melania Trump’s wardrobe and spent several hours combing through Donald Trump’s private office, breaking open his safe and rifling through drawers when they raided the former First Family’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida Monday morning.

The astonishing daytime raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is a frightening and incredible fact on it’s own, and the more information that comes forward, the worse it gets. Today we find out that they spent a considerable amount of time going through Melania Trump’s closet, presumably for classified documents hidden, where, in her underwear drawer? I mean, come on now. Melania’s clothing puts our national security at risk, yet Hunter Biden’s laptop, filled with emails from the government agencies of Communist China and Ukraine, does not? Hmm.

“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.” Isaiah 59:14,15 (KJB)

But as we ponder the legality and veracity of the raid on Mar-a-Lago, it begs the question as to why Hunter Biden’s home has never been raided, or his filth and corruption filled laptop examined by the FBI. You would think that would be one of the first places they would want to investigate. Remember when the FBI warned Hillary Clinton to preserve all her devices, how did she respond to that order? She wiped them all clean with impunity, daring the FBI to do something. And guess what? The FBI did nothing. Now you know what Biden’s 87,000 new IRS agents are for.

FBI searched Melania’s wardrobe, spent hours in Trump’s private office during Mar-a-Lago raid

FROM THE NY POST: The Post has learned that the search warrant used by the FBI to enter the palatial Palm Beach property focused solely on presidential records and evidence of classified information being stored there. A source close to the former president expressed concern that FBI agents or DOJ lawyers conducting the search could have “planted stuff” because they would not allow Trump’s attorneys inside the 128-room building to observe the operation, which lasted more than nine hours.

The raid by over 30 plain clothes agents from the Southern District of Florida and the FBI’s Washington Field Office extended through the Trump family’s entire 3,000-square-foot private quarters, as well as to a separate office and safe, and a locked basement storage room in which 15 cardboard boxes of material from the White House were stored.

Feds arrived at 9 a.m. and didn’t leave until 6:30 p.m.

An eyewitness to the raid said all of the boxes were confiscated by federal agents Monday, but it is unknown if anything else was taken as no itemized list of items was provided by the FBI. The boxes contain documents and mementos from Trump’s presidency, reportedly including letters from Barack Obama and Kim Jong Un, and other correspondence with world leaders.

A legal source said that the boxes had been packed up by the General Services Administration and shipped to Mar-a-Lago when Trump left office in January 2020. Trump’s attorneys, led by Evan Corcoran, had been cooperating fully with federal authorities on the return of the documents to the National Archives and Records Administration, according to sources.

Under Oath, James Comey Admits The FBI Never Validated The Phony ‘Russian Dossier’ That It Then Used As A Pretext To Wiretap Trump Campaign

Former FBI Director James Comey admitted that the Bureau did not verify allegations in the Steele dossier before it was cited as grounds for wiretaps of Trump campaign.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Former FBI Director James Comey admitted that the Bureau did not verify allegations in the Steele dossier before it was cited as grounds for snooping on a former Trump adviser in 2016.

One of the greatest crimes in modern American history was not perpetrated by Al Capone, John Gotti, the Clinton Crime Family or the Bush Crime Family. No, those people are rank amateurs compared to what this man James Comey pulled off while serving as the head of the FBI.

James Comey oversaw the ‘investigation’ into the various felonies committed by Crooked HIllary Clinton, including but not limited to destroying 33,000 emails she was told to retain, her staff destroying mobile devices she was told to retain, wiping clean her the illegal email server she used as Secretary of State despite being ordered not to. And just for good measure her husband, Slick Willie Clinton, paid an unethical and illegal visit to the attorney general Loretta Lynch all while Hillary was under Comey’s investigation.

Yes, Hillary did all these things and more, and yet amazingly when James Comey was done investigating he let her off without so much as a parking ticket. Why? Because Comey and Hillary go back for decades and the whole thing was a setup. The Steele ‘Russian Dossier’ was financed by, guess who? Hillary and the Democrats. James Comey never investigated her, he ran interference for her.

Are you still wondering who killed Seth Rich? You shouldn’t be. Take a deep dive into the Clinton Dead Pool, and you’ll find out.

Comey replied with ‘I don’t recall’ to the majority of questions

FROM THE NY POST: The admission came in closed-door testimony before congressional investigators that was made public Saturday evening.

The dossier contained memos alleging Russian influence over Trump and his advisers and helped authorities get permission from a special court to surveil former Trump adviser Carter Page.

The compilation of the Steele dossier was funded first by a conservative publication, then by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

During his testimony Friday, Comey repeatedly professed ignorance regarding FBI investigations into Trump campaign associates in the weeks prior to the 2016 election.

Asked by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) what the FBI did to confirm the Steele dossier, Comey indicated that effort was still underway months after the warrant to surveil Page had already been granted and renewed. READ MORE

James Comey Admits Steele Dossier Unverified Months After FISA Warrant Granted

FROM BREITBART NEWS: The former FBI director said the anti-Trump dossier “was coming to us from a reliable source with a track record, and it’s an important thing when you’re seeking a PC warrant,” concerning Steele.

“But what I understand by verified is we then try to replicate the source information so that it becomes FBI investigation and our conclusions rather than a reliable source’s,” he told Republicans. “That’s what I understand it, the difference to be. And that work wasn’t completed by the time I left in May of 2017, to my knowledge.”

Comey now has confirmed what Republican lawmakers like Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Rep. Mark Meadows(R-N.C.), and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have warned about for months – that the FBI used an unverified dossier, paid for by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party as political opposition research, to justify spying on the duly nominated GOP candidate for president just weeks before Election Day.

The original FISA warrant application submitted in October 2016, along with the three 90-day renewal, were labeled “Verified application,” as reported by National Review’s Andrew C. McCarthy. “The FBI has reviewed this verified application for accuracy in accordance with its April 5, 2001 procedures, which include sending a copy of the draft to the appropriate field office(s),” the applications read.

Along with being unaware of the dossier’s veracity, Comey did not know that Bruce Ohr, the Justice Department’s fourth-highest ranking official before his demotion last year, was a go-between for collecting so-called intelligence from Steele after the FBI terminated its relationship with the agent for alleging leaking information to the media. Further, Solomon reports that Comey could not recall that Steele’s relationship with the bureau had even been terminated. READ MORE
