Clapper: ‘No such wiretap activity mounted’ on Trump
Note to readers of this post:
There is a link to the letter referenced, though at least on my computer it isn’t immediately visible. Look in the second paragraph for the words “the letter”. If you look closely, you will see that it is very faintly underlined.
It is definitely worth reading. It gives me some encouragement that at least some of the people responsible for the Russian collusion hoax and coverup will be brought to justice, and that their crimes and misdeeds will not serve as a new platform of precedents for future attacks on American’s institutions of democracy and justice.
Looks like hunting season is about open.
@markcamp,thanks for the heads up about the link not showing up — here is the link to the letter—-
I want them all to go down and get skin up, but I’d pay extra for a tag for a 6’9″ pious prevaricator.
From the letter:
I’m not overly hopeful. I feel like Charlie Brown and the football. Time after time after time I’ve watched our side totally screw the pooch when on these issues going back to Clinton and Whitewater. But maybe this time….
Hope for the best. Plan for the worst.
I am hopeful. Your reference to taking the football away from Charlie Brown comes from the fact that for years Trey Gowdy and the Republican House kept having hearings about things like Benghazi and Clinton e-mails –but as a legislative body they had no real power to do anything because Eric Holder and then Loretta Lynch were in charge of the Department of Justice. Then came Jeff Sessions who recused himself and twiddled his thumbs for two years. William Barr seems to be the first guy with real prosecutorial power to take the bull by the horns.
Also, for the last year, Inspector General Horowitz has been very quietly investigating the spying on Trump scandal and has yet to release his report. Nobody, not even right wing news media seems to be talking about this.
I respectfully disagree. Everything I’ve been reading for the past few weeks has been a version of “just wait, it’s coming, deus ex Horowitzina”.
That’s okay. I do not keep up with current news media very much. Besides, you are my alter ego! My mother often calls me “Steven C.” My middle name was taken from a privileged White European who accidentally discovered America on his way to India.
Jeff Sessions might be an OK Senator, but he was a horrible AG. Maybe the worst ever. He really did look away, when he was the sole person in position to stop the soft coup. That is unforgivable. I cannot think of any greater failure of duty by anyone in history. Can you?
Maybe nobody is talking, because Horowitz is not really doing anything. He can only interview active employees an dig through paperwork. I am not expecting anything of consequence here. Maybe some recommendations for the next investigation of a former Secretary of State who ran a global grifting empire.
It does lay out the case against Comey, I wonder if he’s read it… of course he’s read it.
Remember how smuggly he admitted to exactly what that letter claims, in front of Congress and all Americans he said he commit a felony to get Trump.
I truly hope he spends a good long time behind bars.
There is so much coming out now… I hope it all gets out.
To that end: I saw quite the clip of Trump today saying he had some really bad information about Obama that he would discuss with the public at the appropriate time… well he used words, he never says it that clearly… it was cryptic… and made me think Obama was behind it all.
That is what it is about. I have no real love for Trump, though the way he’s been treated and the way he’s weathered it, have made me respect him. But in the end… this can not be just another campaign trick by the incumbent President… it is too much power, and just too corrupt!
From the moment Trump was elected the Democrats have tried to tear down this democracy… they set up a movement against a free and fair election and called it the resistence!
Justice, freedom, democracy, the ability to govern ourselves, that is at stake!
Probably a good thing considering how helpful the RW media has been of late.
I know I’m taking up too much space, but I can’t find the video that had Trump saying that he had news he’d share later about Obama himself!
Trump was saying how Obama destroyed the military, then he said there was something else he would never forgive Obama for… but he(Trump) would share it with us later…
I believe that he said that today. The article was today, I remember checking the date to make sure it was current but I can’t find the article. I just can’t remember where it was.
AT any rate, I’ve been frustrated this has taken so long, but if this is really about Obama’s abuse of power, not just Brennan, not just Clapper, not just Comey, but the big guy himself… I understand that they have to have every single fact correct and it takes time.
I think this is bigger than the 3 stooges.
Here is the link to the video.
Wow, thanks for bringing this letter to our attention. Let’s hope that something comes of it.
