Dirty Devin Nunes and the FBI Leakers

Wait...so you think it matters whether Ghouliani was a member of Trump's transition team or campaign as far as his advance knowledge of the FBI Leaker's October Surprise?

Please explain that idiotic notion

 

The rag quotes Horowitz. I've got a WaPo link that quotes Horowitz as he confirms the OIG is still determing the extent to which FBI bias influenced specific investigative decisions. I admire your tenacity, but you're flogging a

 

But the democrats still objected to his firing. The reason to fire doesn't have to be limited to a single reason. In fact, it usually isn't.

 

How did I know you were going there?

The IG report did not examine the actions of the NY FBI office (although they should have) beyond the fact that they DID leak to Republican House Members in order to force COmey to do what he did

 

WHICH investigative decisions?

Those of the NY FBI field office?

Which specific quotes of Horowitz are you referring to?

 

Do you think a campaign organization and a transition team are essentially the same?????

 

It shouldn't make any difference where I am going. It appears that the FBI has a real problem. They should not be taking sides. End of story. I was criticized for pointing this out in another thread.

 

Text messages of FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok indicated that he, McCabe, and Priestap discussed the Weiner laptop on September 28. Strzok said that he had initially planned to send a team to New York to review the emails, but a conference call with NYO was scheduled instead. The conference call took place on September 29, and five members of the FBI Midyear team participated. Notes from the conference call indicate the participants discussed the presence of a large volume of emails (350,000) on the Weiner laptop and specific domain names, including clintonemail.com and state.gov. The Midyear SSA said that NYO also mentioned seeing BlackBerry domain emails on the Weiner laptop. Additional discussions took place on October 3 and 4, 2016. However, after October 4, we found no evidence that anyone associated with the Midyear investigation, including the entire leadership team at FBI Headquarters, took any action on the Weiner laptop issue until the week of October 24, and then did so only after the Weiner case agent expressed concerns to SDNY, prompting SDNY to contact the Office of the Deputy Attorney General (ODAG) on October 21 to raise concerns about the lack of action.

 

In assessing the decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop, we were particularly concerned about text messages sent by Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions they made were impacted by bias or improper considerations.

...

Under these circumstances, we did not have confidence that Strzok’s decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop was free from bias.

 

Where do express that notion? Where do I mention Guiliani? Nunes ... house judiciary ... entitled to that information. Ongoing congressional investigation. I'm sure there will be a thorough examination of why FBI subordinates broke the chain of command, which isn't "leaking". Reports are that the agents were disturbed and concerned the evidence they submitted wasn't being pursued, or shared with congressional investigators. Reports claim the "leakers" even questioned the limited scope of the search warrants issued for Weiner / Abedins devices. There'll be lots more for you to spin in the very near future. Pace yourself.

 

Much like with his July 5 announcement, we found that in making this decision, Comey engaged in ad hoc decisionmaking based on his personal views even if it meant rejecting longstanding Department policy or practice. We found unpersuasive Comey’s explanation as to why transparency was more important than Department policy and practice with regard to the reactivated Midyear investigation while, by contrast, Department policy and practice were more important to follow with regard to the Clinton Foundation and Russia investigations.

 

Has Horowitz commented, or does the OIG report contain any information about the FBI field office, or "leaks" to Guiliani or Nunes? If you're not following Horowitz testimony, pehaps research that which you cannot accept.

 

Nice try...you seriously expect anyone to believe Trump fired Comey for helping get him elected?

He says all sorts of shyte but what he told Lester Holt AND Russian Ambassador Kislyak was that it was because of the Russia investigation

 

But no Dems on that Committee or any other? Hmmmm...

And somehow Ghouliani "found out" about it and BRAGGED that it would be coming. He has a big mouth and that hurts your "case" as weak as it is

 

I'm basing my comments on what Horowitz said in his Executive Summary IG report.

If you have some other quote...post with a link

 

I don't think Trump thinks Comey was helping him get elected. The fact remains that democrats complained about his firing.

 

That comment in context is here

https://democrats-judiciary.house.g...-statement-doj-ig-report-fbi-actions-election

And it refers to the comments Comey made when he closed the e-mail investigation and trashed Clinton

Along with

“The FBI should not have spoken publicly about the case after recommending against criminal charges. They should not have revealed that they had reopened the case just days before the election. These actions violate longstanding guidelines designed to protect citizens from unfair attacks and avoid influencing elections.

“We understand that the Bureau was under great pressure from Republican Committee Chairmen with subpoena power who spent two years engaged in incessant, cynical, and false attacks about the Clinton investigation itself—but these DOJ and FBI policies exist to help law enforcement officials resist exactly that sort of pressure.

 

And wanted him fired, until they didn’t.

 

Reading minds now?

What would make you think that when his actions did exactly that?

Trump fired Comey over the Russia investigation. He admitted it twice

 

You post crap opinion. I posted from the OIG report. FAIL

 

The Democratic Party's WAR ON TRUTH continues.

 

Just expressing an opinion like everyone else

 

So for all that...Comey held off on "opening the investigation" until it would do the most harm?

And then closed it days later since it was bogus to begin with

 

Let's be clear about what is fact and what is opinion then

 

If you can't quote and link to whatever you're claiming Horowitz actually said...perhaps you shouldn't be making those claims
