Good day all. For the last 18 months, we have seen stories regarding President Trump, a dossier and alleged Russian collusion. We’ve also seen how obvious corruption in the previous administration was, for all intents and purposes, ignored or covered up.
The organizations that are meant to uphold the Rule of Law and the Constitution are now being perceived as a threat to the Law, the Republic and the Constitution. Now the Republicans have begun a quiet investigation into the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Here are the details from that noted conservative news source, Politico (That’s sarcasm in case you missed it):
A group of House Republicans has gathered secretly for weeks in the Capitol in an effort to build a case that senior leaders of the Justice Department and FBI improperly — and perhaps criminally — mishandled the contents of a dossier that describes alleged ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, according to four people familiar with their plans.
A subset of the Republican members of the House intelligence committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes of California, has been quietly working parallel to the committee’s high-profile inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. They haven’t informed Democrats about their plans, but they have consulted with the House’s general counsel.
You may be wondering why the Republicans haven’t discussed this with the Democrats. The answer is simple. The Democrats could end up being implicated if what Representative Nunes and the Republicans are looking into turns out to be something. Just recall the antics of the Democrats when there were hearings on Benghazi, Fast&Furious, Felonia von Pantsuit’s email, and a few other things. They weren’t interested in getting to the truth, they worked tirelessly to bury the truth.
The people familiar with Nunes’ plans said the goal is to highlight what some committee Republicans see as corruption and conspiracy in the upper ranks of federal law enforcement. The group hopes to release a report early next year detailing their concerns about the DOJ and FBI, and they might seek congressional votes to declassify elements of their evidence.
Which the Democrats will fight tooth and nail to prevent.
That final product could ultimately be used by Republicans to discredit special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether any Trump aides colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign — or possibly even to justify his dismissal, as some rank-and-file Republicans and Trump allies have demanded. (The president has said he is not currently considering firing Mueller.)
Ever since President Trump won the election, shocking the Democrats, they have worked tirelessly to destroy the Trump administration, going back to the transition. The problem they’ve been having is that now President Trump has control of all the agencies that the Democrats expected Felonia von Pantsuit to control. That means that all those files and records that they planned on destroying, are now coming out. What little we’ve seen doesn’t put the previous administration in a good light, and there is a very good chance that it could drag the entire democrat party down as well.
Republicans in the Nunes-led group suspect the FBI and DOJ have worked either to hurt Trump or aid his former campaign rival Hillary Clinton, a sense that has pervaded parts of the president’s inner circle.
Probably because, as each day passes, more and more information surfaces on just how corrupt the DoJ became under Obama.
Trump has long called the investigations into whether Russia meddled in the 2016 election a “witch hunt,” and on Tuesday, his son Donald Trump Jr. told a crowd in Florida the probes were part of a “rigged system” by “people at the highest levels of government” who were working to hurt the president.
And you can expect the Mostly Stupid Media to start screaming “Paranoia!! They think everyone is out to get them!!” Well, it isn’t paranoia when you can prove that certain groups are out to get you and are willing to do whatever it takes to destroy you.
The sources familiar with the separate inquiry said it was born out of steadily building frustration with the Justice Department’s refusal to share details of the way the Trump dossier was used to launch the FBI’s investigation of his campaign team last year — or whether it was the basis for any court-ordered surveillance of Trump associates.
Now this is something that I honestly think President Trump should handle. The senior members of the House and Senate oversight committees, the ones getting stonewalled, should visit President Trump and ask that he issue an order that these bureaucrats comply with the oversight committee requests. If they continue stonewalling, then President Trump needs to start firing. The Democrats will scream, but so what? All it will do is prove that they have no interest in a transparent government. (Which they don’t)
One interesting thing, not all the Republicans are part of this. Several well known people have pointedly not been asked to join the group.
A congressional aide with knowledge of the meetings said Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) was not among the participants. ”While he does believe the FBI and DOJ have recently made decisions worth looking into, he is and will always be a defender of the FBI, DOJ and the special counsel,” the aide said.
Gowdy has done some very good work, but he also has a blind spot with regards to the deep levels of corruption within the DoJ and the FBI. He needs to stop defending them and start performing his job as the people’s representative handling the oversight of the DoJ and other federal agencies.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said he wasn’t aware of the Nunes effort but said it fit with what he sees as an increasingly destructive bent in Republicans’ rhetoric and actions.
“I think what we are seeing in our committee … is an effort to attack the Department of Justice, an effort to attack the FBI, to attack Bob Mueller, is an effort to undermine the investigations and these institutions out of fear of what they’ll find and try to discredit them in advance,” he said. “It’s a pernicious thing to do that will ultimately inflict long-term damage on these institutions.”
Schiff should talk. He has been one of the main people pushing that fake dossier that started this whole investigation. For all intents and purposes, Schiff is trying to mount a coup against President Trump. He sees Trump’s election as illegitimate, and that by rights Felonia von Pantsuit should be in the White House. He won’t rest until President Trump is railroaded out.
The Nunes-led group is the latest evidence of an increasingly toxic and bruising confrontation between Republicans on Capitol Hill and the highest ranks of the justice system.
The reason for this is simple. The justice system in this country is broken, badly.
In recent weeks, GOP lawmakers have berated top Justice Department officials and threatened to hold them in contempt of Congress, and a couple of rank-and-file members described ongoing investigations of Trump associates in startling terms — including as a potential “coup” attempt. On Wednesday, Fox News reported that Nunes intends to subpoena senior FBI agents connected to the dossier.
It will be interesting to see what happens if he does subpoena the agents in question. Will they take the 5th Amendment and refuse to testify? If so, they should be promptly dismissed from government service. Or will they testify and admit that everything we suspected regarding the dossier and how the FBI handled things was accurate?
To Democrats, the GOP offensive is an attempt to distract from the investigation of Trump associates by Mueller, who has already indicted Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and secured a guilty plea from his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
And both these cases deal with things that happened before President Trump even considered running for the office. Recent information indicates that the cases are very weak and that the only reason Flynn pled out was to protect his family. Since news came out that Mueller and his minions are considering another indictment against Manafort, allegedly for tax evasion, (At least that was the story leaked to the MSM), they may be feeling the heat in regards to not being able to produce any actual evidence of the Trump Campaign colluding with the Russians.
There are indications he’s investigating whether Trump obstructed justice by firing former FBI Director James Comey, whose exit led to Mueller taking over the Russia probe.
Which is utter and pure bullshit. Comey served at the pleasure of the President. His actions regarding Felonia’s flagrant violations of the law, and his assuming authority he didn’t have saying that she won’t be indicted, was justification enough to get rid of his lying ass. As to Obstruction? Where has there been any? There hasn’t. Mueller was chosen for one reason, to get Trump. Nothing more.
The more dangerous Mueller’s probe has seemed to become to the White House, the louder the attacks have gotten from Trump allies on Capitol Hill, Democrats say.
And now we see Politico’s Progressivism coming to the fore. Mueller’s probe has proven more dangerous to the Democrats and Barack Obama. That wasn’t the intent of course, but that’s what’s been happening.
“Republicans are terrified that Special Counsel Mueller is getting closer to the truth, and they are desperate to grind his investigation to a halt — even if they undermine the foundations of our democracy,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in a statement after Republicans requested the FBI interviews.
Cummings is a pig. His actions during the Benghazi investigations, along with the others showed that he cares only for two things. Keeping his fat, racist, progressive ass in his seat in Congress, and protecting the Democrats. Upholding his oath of office? Not even on the radar.
This is why people like Nunes have started a “Back channel” investigation. The Democrats have done everything they could to obstruct justice and protect their party. They may have colluded, there’s that word again, to block legitimate oversight of the DoJ and FBI, as well as aiding in the cover ups of outright criminal activities of the previous administration.
In other countries, what they are doing would be called treason. In the United States, Treason is the only crime directly listed in the Constitution of the United States, and is rightfully tough to prove. However, if the Democrats continue as they are, working to subvert the Constitution, the Rule of Law and the 2016 election?
