The testimony of James Comey before the Senate Intelligence
Committee was reminiscent of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Like the Salem Witch Trials the Comey
testimony was the result of paranoia and injustice fomented by an FBI Dictator
who believes himself to be above any law or scrutiny in his service to the Deep
State. From David Stockman at LewRockwell:
Excerpt:
The Imperial City Unhinged----J. Edgar Comey's Big Fat Nothingburger
Comey’s ballyhooed testimony
contains nothing not already known, nothing remotely about obstruction of
justice, and, in fact, nothing that matters at all. It’s just a replay of the self-serving tommyrot Comey has been leaking
all along.
It is a smoking gun in only one
sense: It proves why the sanctimonious
Comey should have been fired on day one and why the apparent Wall Street assumption that it can count on
“Washington governance as usual” is so dangerously misguided.
The sum and substance of
RussiaGate, in fact, is the evidence-free
assessments, judgments, surmises, inferences and innuendos of Deep State
operatives who have been dead set against Donald Trump from the very
beginning; and who were given leave during the campaign and transition by
Obama’s top national security advisors—–the
despicable duo of Susan Rice and John Brennan—-to blatantly abuse the Spy
State’s tools and machinery to smear and besmirch the Donald and challenge the
fundamental legitimacy of his election.
That brings us to J. Edgar Comey.
From the very beginning with his backhanded acquittal of Hillary last July, he has conducted himself as FBI Dictator,
not director…
Taking Trump aside for a private
one-on-one, Comey had the gall to serve
up that unvetted and unverified garbage when he knew full well that it had
been paid for by Trump’s political
opponents—first the Romney apparatus and then Hillary Clinton’s operatives…
The proposition that the Attorney General and FBI director operate in
some insulated and antiseptic sphere above the president’s authority as
head of the executive branch has been an
entirely self-serving invention of the Deep State in the years since Watergate…
The January 6th presentation of the Steele “dossier” to Trump was an
outright act of Hoover-style blackmail by the FBI director; and a ringing
statement that the phony “Russian meddling” narrative would be used against the
White House whenever it suited the purposes of Comey and the Deep State he
represented…
Yet in the end, Flynn got fired for trying to make peace
with Russia—-a nation that is no threat to America and which has every
reason to take umbrage at NATO’s encroachment on its very borders.
When Flynn was fired on February
13, in fact, Trumped praised him fulsomely and offered no plausible reason for
his dismissal because there wasn’t one. The Donald and his greenhorn team had
simply panicked in the face of the RussiaGate
hysteria generated by the Deep State and amplified and propagated by the
mainstream media.
Indeed, the premise for the witch hunt hearings is based on
“the proposition that the Attorney General and FBI director operate in some
insulated and antiseptic sphere above the president’s authority.” This display was just the opening salvo for
the disgusting witch hunt to come as the Deep State’s handmaiden warlocks
prepare for years of wasted time and treasure in the hopes of bringing down our
elected president. So who are the
warlocks that the media is fawning over heaping the highest of praise on? From Coleen Rowley at Op Ed News:
Excerpt:
Russia-gate's Mythical 'Heroes'
The mainstream U.S. media sells the
mythical integrity of fired FBI Director Comey and special Russia-gate
prosecutor Mueller, but the truth is
they have long histories as pliable political operatives, writes ex-FBI
official Coleen Rowley.
Mainstream commentators display
amnesia when they describe former FBI
Directors Robert Mueller and James Comey as stellar and credible law
enforcement figures. Perhaps if they included J. Edgar Hoover, such fulsome
praise could be put into proper perspective.
Although these Hoover successors,
now occupying center stage in the investigation of President Trump, have been
hailed for their impeccable character by much of Official Washington, the truth
is, as top law enforcement officials of
the George W. Bush Administration (Mueller as FBI Director and James Comey as
Deputy Attorney General), both presided over post-9/11 cover-ups and secret
abuses of the Constitution, enabled Bush-Cheney fabrications used to launch
wrongful wars, and exhibited plain vanilla incompetence.
TIME Magazine would probably have
not called my own disclosures a "bombshell memo" to the Joint
Intelligence Committee Inquiry in May 2002 if it had not been for Mueller's having so misled everyone after
9/11. Although he bore no personal responsibility for intelligence failures
before the attack, since he only became FBI Director a week before, Mueller denied or downplayed the
significance of warnings that had poured in yet were all ignored or mishandled during the Spring and Summer of 2001.
Bush Administration officials had
circled the wagons and refused to publicly own up to what the 9/11 Commission
eventually concluded, "that the system had been blinking red."
Failures to read, share or act upon important intelligence, which a FBI agent witness termed
"criminal negligence" in later trial testimony, were therefore
not fixed in a timely manner. (Some failures were never fixed at all.)
Worse, Bush and Cheney used that post 9/11 period of obfuscation to "roll
out" their misbegotten "war on terror," which only served to
exponentially increase worldwide terrorism.
It’s amazing what constitutes as honor, integrity and
honesty today. This whole debacle is a
staged coup against a sitting president by our congress and people embedded in
the Trump Administration by the Deep State.
It’s like a scene from Julius Caesar.
From Mike Whitney at Information Clearing House:
Excerpt:
Rosenstein
and Mueller: the Regime Change Tag-Team
Let’s say you own a big US corporation but need help
managing your domestic accounts. So you hire a bright, young man named Bruno
who just graduated from Harvard Business School with a Masters in corporate
finance. And the first day on the job,
you discover that Bruno has secretly employed a private detective who has
obtained subpoena power to dig through all of your business accounts, all
your investments past and present, all your taxes going back decades, and
any personal transactions you might have made in the last 20 years or so…
And, of course, Bruno knows that the information he
gathers is going to be deliberately tweaked to look as suspicious as possible,
then it’s going to be leaked to the press and splashed across the headlines,
then it’s going to be presented as evidence to a Grand Jury, and then,
finally– after months of excruciating testimony and nonstop mud-slinging– it
will be used in criminal proceedings that will lead your removal as CEO of your
corporation…
By appointing a Special Counsel,
Rosenstein not only destroyed any chance Trump had at achieving his policy
objectives, he also effectively
rolled-back the results of the 2016 presidential election… We can now be 100 percent certain that
Trump’s political agenda will never get off the ground. Which is good, right,
since the Trump’s “pamper the rich and screw-the-working-man” plan was crappy
policy anyway? So, good riddance.
But was that Rosenstein’s decision to make? Is that how democracy
is supposed to work? Does one unelected, meddlesome lawyer at the DOJ get to
overturn the results of the election and bring the government to a screeching
halt..?
But Rosenstein doesn’t like democracy, he’d rather do the work of his
paymasters who want to see Trump drawn and quartered before he’s given the
boot.
“His paymasters”? Rosenstein has
paymasters?
Yer darn right, he does. Rosenstein didn’t make the decision to
appoint a Special Counsel by himself. That’s baloney. He got his marching
orders from someone else higher up the foodchain. Does anyone seriously believe that a second-string attorney at the
Justice Department would launch a full-blown attack on the president of the
United States unless he got the greenlight from the deep-state fatcats who
operate behind the scenes?
As it stands, the witchhunt is going forward without a shred of solid evidence,
without any eyewitnesses, without a hint of wrongdoing, and without any
probable cause…
And Rosenstein didn’t pick
hatchetman Robert Mueller by himself either. That’s more malarkey. Mueller was picked by the same shadowy
throng of elites that selected the 9-11 Commission, the big money guys who
own this fecking country lock, stock and barrel. In this case, they wanted a
political assassin who could be trusted to do everything in his power to force
Trump to resign. Mueller was the perfect man for the job, a cold-blooded Mafia hitman
who won’t leave his fingerprints at the scene of the crime.
In his more than 10-year stint at
the FBI, Mueller managed to conceal his
utter contempt for the law behind a mask of smug sincerity and icy
self-righteousness. His
qualifications speak for themselves. Here’s
a little background on Mueller from Sputnik News:
“Robert Mueller, picked as special prosecutor to investigate President
Donald Trump, violated the US
Constitution as FBI Director by using secret domestic spy programs,
National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower William Binney told Sputnik…
James Comey, Mueller’s successor as FBI Director, who was fired by
Trump on May 9 had also been willing to ignore the US Constitution in order
to use NSA data collected without any legal warrant against ordinary criminals,
Binney recalled.”
Nice. So instead of dogging-down the crooked bankers on Wall Street who blew
up the financial system and fleeced We The People out of trillions of dollars,
Mueller spent his time stomping on the Fourth Amendment so he could add a few
more warm bodies to our ballooning prison population. Way to go, Bob.
And there’s more about Mueller that
people should know, too, like the fact that he was the architect of an FBI entrapment program that lured
simple-minded gangbangers into terrorist scams and then threw them in the
slammer for the rest of their lives.
This is why the bigshots chose Mueller to spearhead their Russia
hacking witchhunt. They figure his experience with entrapment will help him
to bag his biggest trophy yet, the
President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. That’s the plan at least.
So what are the odds that Trump will get a fair shake in this deal?
How about zero? There’s zero chance that Grand Inquisitor Mueller
and his Star Chamber assistants are going to conduct an objective, independent
investigation. In fact, the whole Special Counsel meme is just an attempt to
dignify the railroading of the Chief Executive.
Comey was so anxious to destroy Trump that Comey has become
a cartoon character. Or as Victor David Hansen put it Comey is a tragic
figure. The more he tries to salvage is
character the more he denigrates it.
Yes indeed, Trump has zero chance getting a fair deal with
the Deep State’s dream team of henchmen.
This team will come up with a conclusion first then building a case to
support that conclusion. The plan was
already there before Trump took office.
This has been a set up since the beginning and Comey testified under
oath that he leaked information on Trump in order to ensure a Special
Prosecutor is assigned the case. From
The Independent UK:
Excerpt:
James Comey says he leaked Trump meeting memo in order to secure
appointment of special prosecutor
James Comey has said he leaked
memos of his conversations with Donald Trump to the media in order to trigger
the appointment of a special prosecutor.
In comments that suggested the
former FBI Director was concerned about the ability of his own Justice
Department to oversee the investigation into possible collusion between the
Trump campaign and Moscow, Mr Comey said
he decided to pass on the information after seeing one of Mr Trump’s tweets.
“The president tweeted on the
Friday after I got fired that I’d better hope there are not tapes,” Mr Comey
said.
He said he then woke up on Monday
thinking that if there were tapes, there might be corroboration. Mr Comey said he asked “a friend of mine
to share” the memo he had written about his conversation with Mr Trump “with a
reporter…”
“I thought it might prompt the appointment of a special counsel,”
said Mr Comey. “I said to him ‘make sure this gets out’.”
Speaking on Capitol Hill, Mr Comey
told senators that the Trump
administration had told lies and defamed him and the FBI after the
President fired him on May 9.
Sounds like a disgruntled former employee who wanted revenge
after being fired. Sounds like this
whole Special Prosecutor thing has been in the works for a long while. And the Special Prosecutor has building up a
dream team of the Deep State’s most loyal of handmaidens. From CNN:
Excerpt:
Legal dream team in white shirts
and dark suits
Right out of the gate, Mueller brought on three partners from his
former law firm, Wilmer Hale, with significant litigating experience in high stakes cases: Aaron
Zebley, who previously served as Mueller's chief of staff at the FBI; Jeannie
Rhee, a former federal prosecutor and top official at the Justice Department's
Office of Legal Counsel; and James Quarles, who worked on the Watergate
investigation as a young prosecutor…
Mueller has also reportedly recruited skillful prosecutors from within
the highest levels at DOJ -- including Andrew Weissmann, chief of the
Criminal Division's fraud section, who served as former director of the Enron Task Force and general counsel under Mueller
at the FBI.
Sheesh, what is this the trial of Alger Hiss? How much is that going to cost us?
Jared Kushner's New York Observer ran a series of scathing stories depicting Weissmann and then Assistant
Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell as a strong-arm prosecutors that "ran
roughshod" over defendants' rights during the Enron investigation, but
during his tenure with DOJ, he's won a series of honors, including the Attorney
General's Award for Exceptional Service in 2006.
So is this Weissmann character going to recuse himself from
the Russia-Gate probe? It sounds like he
has a bone to pick with Jared Kushner.
So who else is on this kangaroo court?
But perhaps the most significant hire to date was reported by the National Law
Journal on Friday: deputy solicitor
general Michael Dreeben, a prolific Supreme Court advocate who
oversees the Justice Department's criminal appellate docket.
Preet Bharara -- former US attorney of the Southern District of New
York, who has had his own tussle with
Trump and had a ringside seat to Comey's testimony Thursday -- tweeted that
Dreeben is one of the "top legal and appellate minds at DOJ in modern times."
"It appears that Bob Mueller
is recruiting the smartest and most seasoned professionals who have a long
track record of independence and excellence," added Bharara.
That “tussle” Bharara had with Trump was that Trump fired
him. It appears that Bob Mueller is
recruiting the highest paid, most reliable agents of the Deep State. All of this and yet to-date there has been no
evidence of Russia doing anything to affect our election.
And former acting US solicitor general Neal Katyal, who is a partner
at Hogan Lovells and one of the lead
attorneys for Hawaii in the travel ban lawsuit against Trump, agrees that
the choice of Dreeben is telling.
"You don't bring Michael Dreeben onto something ordinary," said
Katyal. "He's the top criminal law practitioner in the United
States."
Oh, come on. The
Mueller Team appears to be made up of Deep State Trump haters with a record of
service to Wall Street and the Deep State.
There is no way that this impending witch hunt against Trump will stop
until he is removed from office. This
team of warlocks chosen by Comey and the Deep State will surely find some
witches during their multi-year, billion dollar witch hunt. And the only ones who will get rich are the
lawyers. What a crock.
