    These guys and the rest of the DC establishment that they are a part of.

    In April 2018 Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told President Trump in a private meeting that he was not a target of “any part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.”

    The meeting took place in early 2018 and Rosenstein, who brought up the investigations himself, offered the assurance during a meeting with Trump at the White House

    In May 2018 House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy told reporters FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein assured him and several lawmakers that the ongoing Russian witch hunt “has nothing to do with Donald Trump.”

    But the FBI and DOJ were lying to the president and Congressional leaders.

    On Friday The New York Times reported the FBI investigated US President Trump after he fired crooked Director James Comey.

    The top officials in the FBI and DOJ lied to the president and Congress.

    It’s time to clean house.

    Career Federal employees swear an oath to the constitution, don't judge them by the lack of standard that Trump sets even after swearing the same oath.

    Which includes the 4th amendment, yet the FBI opened up a counterintel investigation into Trump shortly after the President fired Comey even though the New York Times admitted in their report that there is no evidence that the Trump campaign EVER had any contact with Russian government officials. The investigation was launched based on unverified rumors.

    This is yet more evidence that FBI leaders actually had no evidence against the Trump team, they were simply trying to undermine a president they didn’t like and avenge Comey’s firing. By relying on the Steele dossier–a fraudulent document funded by Democrats based on Russian sources–FBI leaders were complicit in a disinformation operation by the Democrat party and Russian operatives against the duly sworn President Of The UNITED STATES.

    Obama unmasked and surveilled members of his 2016 presidential campaign.

    It is time for President Trump to declassify the Carter Page FISA docs and clean house.

    And apparently you base your fantasy on the opinions of others when the basis of those opinions is simply what's on their minds, not facts. Brillant.

    And yet......it couldn't be repealed. Your opinion is in the minority.
    It's also wrong.....but you knew that.

    Exactly.

    The story reveals the FBI’s shocking bad faith, an exploding cigar, a scandal located inside the FBI. What we have here is a graphic illustration of the forces against which President Trump has contended for the past two years (including the Times). They mean to remove him from office.

    The classic chestnut buried inside the NYT story: “Other factors fueled the F.B.I.’s concerns, according to the people familiar with the inquiry. Christopher Steele, a former British spy who worked as an F.B.I. informant, had compiled memos in mid-2016 containing unsubstantiated claims that Russian officials tried to obtain influence over Mr. Trump by preparing to blackmail and bribe him.”

    The Steele Dossier is the lurid icing on this fetid cake. The Times story somehow omits to mention that the Steele Dossier derived from the Clinton presidential campaign and the Democrat National Committee via cutouts including the Perkins Coie law firm and Fusion GPS.

    The Times story exposes more than one scandal. It exposes the overlapping scandals of which Trump is the victim, not the perpetrator. They are the biggest scandals in American political history.

    Trump did enough stuff to look real suspect.

    Let remember the advice from some GOP leaders.

    If you're not guilty....stop acting that way.

    Lets remember the FBI initiated the investigation and the Justice department believed it was sound law enforcement to continue the investigation and to appoint a Special Counsel.

    The FBI sought revenge for the firing of their leader because they think only someone who is a foreign agent could find fault with them?

    Bad faith? Hardly.

    Given how Trump was acting in ways that benefitted Russia, a historical adversary, for no apparent reason, there were solid grounds to start an investigation into what he was doing.

    And now we learn that he went to great lengths to make sure that no-one else learned what he discussed in one-on-one meetings with Putin. Including confiscating his translator's notes and destroying them.

    Maybe he is totally clean and innocent. But if anyone other than your hero acted this way, you would be calling for an investigation instead of making excuses for him. I'm pretty sure that if Obama had done half of what Trump has done, you would have been calling for his impeachment.

    Me? I will wait for the Mueller report and accept the findings, whatever they are. I have yet to hear a Trump supporter say the same thing.

    Total BS. The FBI sought to investigate suspicious activity. The president is not immune from such an investigation.

    Bias? The FBI works for the American people and Trump's firing of Comey over the Russian investigation certainly raises questions.
    His private meeting for 2 hours in Helsinki with Putin and not revealing any of it to his inner circle puts a stamp on the FBI decision to investigate.

    Let’s recall the article...the fbi found no evidence to support the investigation. Everything since has been a hoax

    There was no evidence of a conspiracy theory but there was evidence of Russain meddling in our affairs. Trump's firing of Comey over the investigation certainly raises questions. Trump did not reject Mueller as the director of the FBI the day before. Mueller had retired as
    Director of the FBI long before his appointment as a special prosecutor.

    If you mean the cash that went to Iran, it was their money that had been frozen.

    I don't know what planet you live on, but the Republcians controlled both the Senate and the House from 2000 to 2006, and heald the White House the entire time. It was a conservative Supreme Court that installed Bush.

    This is the idiotic right wing talk radio version.

    But the reality is quite different. First of all you'll have to explain how fair lending laws that had been in effect for over two decades suddenly caused a housing price collapse over two decades after they were enacted.

    Oh, and you'll have to explain how Barney Frank held so much power since he was not in the party in charge of Congess and was not a committee chair. Oh, and there were a lot more people than Fannie Mae bundling bad mortgage securities!

    Oh, and maybe you can explain why you blame a congressman in the minority party for a collpase when none of the GOP Congressional leadership held the levers of power.

    Since you're parroting a talk radio meme, here's your chance to explain what's behind it!

    Bush warned about Fanne Mae, and the GOP Congress ignored him.

    While you're at it, you can explain the Commodities Futures Modernization Act. Then you can tell us why the Bush Administration radically expanded the size of the Jumbo loan that the Federal government would guarantee via the FHA, and why the Bush Administration flooded the capital markets by radically lowering of reserve requirements. And you can tell us why the Bush Administration ignored the warning signs of the collapse of Long Term Capital Managment just before he came in, and of Citicorp after.

    You insinuation that the economy didn't collapse until the black man became President is typically false.

    But this is the limit of far right wing "thinking". Give you guys a bogey man and a few slogans to repeat, and your whole world is very simple.

    They even have you blaming Dodd and Frank, and probably opposing the Dodd Frank Act, even though you couldn't explain anything in it.

    Which is exactly what Wall Street wants you to parrot!

    I know that. I was responding to another poster, asking him if the GOP was out of power from 2001-2007, which was where the collapse came from.

    Shows Trump was completely right about the corrupt Deep State that deeply infected our DOJ and FBI during Obama's Presidency and The left as a whole.
