Good day all. With the firing of Andrew McCabe just a day before he would have retired and collected his pension, the demands from some quarters for a second Special Investigator to look into the corruption of the Department of Justice and the FBI are growing.
With each week that passes, we’re finding out more and more regarding the FISA court, the whitewash of Felonia von Pantsuit’s criminal behavior, and the apparent actions by senior Washington officials in the DoJ, the FBI and the Obama Administration to destroy the Trump Administration by all means possible.
Because of all this, and the complete lack of trust in the DoJ and FBI to conduct an actual honest and competent investigation, many members of Congress are saying it’s time for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to remove his thumb from his ass and appoint another special investigator tasked with rooting out all the “bad actors” in the DoJ. Here are some of the details from The Hill:
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is under mounting pressure from the right to appoint a second special counsel to investigate conservative allegations of abuse at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI.
Up to now, those calls have gone quietly unanswered, with officials pointing to the existence of a Justice Department inspector general investigation that is expected to wrap up sometime this spring.
There is a problem with using the Inspector General. He has very little actual investigative power. He also does NOT have any law enforcement authority. All he can do is investigate as far as he can and then file a report. A special investigator, on the other hand, has the power to issue subpoenas, seek out warrants from the judicial branch and, if necessary, arrest criminals and prosecute them. Sessions has not wanted to do this for some odd reason. Now?
Sessions last week revealed that he has tapped a former official outside of the Beltway “with many years in the Department of Justice” to review the need for a special counsel, suggesting the idea is receiving a serious look.
Well it’s about time!
Powerful GOP lawmakers are urging Sessions to pull the trigger, arguing the inspector general does not have the prosecutorial authority needed to conduct a full investigation of the FBI’s actions.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday sent a letter to Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein calling for a special counsel to “gather all the facts.”
I discount anything Graham wants. He’s a first class phony and a member in good standing of the Deep State Uniparty. He doesn’t do anything unless it makes him look good. Now Grassley, while I don’t think much of him, he does seem to believe in the Rule of Law. However, sending the letter to Rosenstein is not a good idea. He would be one of the people being investigated. As for Sleepy Sessions? I wish President Trump would fire his useless ass.
“The FBI and the Department of Justice were corrupt, in my view, when it came to handling the email investigation of [Hillary] Clinton. And the entire FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] warrant application process was abused,” Graham told Fox News’s Bret Baier, referring to a surveillance authority conservatives believe was misused during the 2016 campaign to launch the Russia investigation.
This from the alleged “man” who has repeatedly said that if Trump should fire Mueller, it will be the end of his presidency. Back to the fabric shoppe with you Lindsey!
Last week, two powerful House GOP chairmen — Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (Va.) and Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (S.C.) — made a similar request, demanding a review of any evidence of “bias” by DOJ or FBI employee as well as whether there was any “extraneous influence” on the surveillance process.
Gowdy is leaving Congress. Once upon a time, I actually thought he would do some good. While he has managed to show America just how utterly corrupt the Obama Administration was, he never actually followed through. He’s also had a bad habit of apologizing for the actions of the DoJ and FBI. Now though, things have become so blatant, he has no real choice if he wants to continue being seen as an honest politician. (Stop laughing!!)
Critics of the GOP push say the allegations of bias and abuse are a transparent effort to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia.
That would be the Democrats. They have been working since President Trump destroyed Felonia von Pantsuit to wreck his administration. They still can’t get past the fact that Donald Trump won. People like that treasonous scumbag, Adam Schiff, refuse to acknowledge that any collusion with the Russians that occurred in the 2016 election happened on the Democrat’s side. It’s gotten so bad with them, that many people are afraid that these clowns might just try something really stupid and start the ball rolling to “Bad things happening.”
If Sessions’s review does not result in the appointment of a second special counsel, there’s growing speculation that it could be his own head on the chopping block. President Trump has repeatedly criticized his attorney general since Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation last year, and has hammered him for deferring to Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
“Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse,” Trump tweeted after Sessions announced Horowitz would be probing the allegations. “Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on [former FBI Director James] Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!”
Sessions has been a bitter disappointment Trump supporters. We thought he would help drain the swamp. Instead, it looks more like he’s reinforcing the dam. If President Trump had known that Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia investigations, he would never have appointed him in the first place. Many people are surprised that President Trump hasn’t already fired this useless git.
The crux of the allegations leveled by conservatives is that Justice Department and FBI personnel made decisions during the 2016 election that were improperly influenced by bias against then-candidate Trump — in both the investigation into Clinton’s email server and the Russia probe.
GOP lawmakers, citing an investigation conducted by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), say that officials improperly used an unconfirmed dossier of opposition research into Trump to obtain a surveillance warrant for former campaign adviser Carter Page.
We have since learned that the infamous dossier was actually paid for by…wait for it…The Felonia von Pantsuit campaign with the assistance of the Democrat National Committee. The author of that dossier so hates Donald Trump that he would do anything to “Get him.” This is why several oversight committee’s have recommended that he be criminally prosecuted.
A countermemo from Intelligence Committee Democrats, also based on the classified warrant application, revealed that officials told the court that the dossier was commissioned by someone who wanted to discredit Trump’s campaign. The information formed only a small part of the application and was corroborated with information from independent sources, the Democratic memo says.
This memo was written by Adam Schiffless, one of the more corrupt members of Congress. He has made it his life’s work to “Get Trump!” and isn’t above manufacturing scandals. It’s recently come out that the committee he is on has been leaking like a sieve, and that it’s been coming from Schiffless’s office.
Under Justice Department regulations, a few preconditions have to be met in order for a special counsel to be appointed. The attorney general must determine that a criminal investigation is warranted and that the Justice Department would have an obvious conflict of interest — and that it would be “in the public interest to appoint an outside special counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.”
Oh I think we’ve met those parameters many times over. The obvious corruption extends to the current Special Prosecutor, Robert Mueller. The only reason he was appointed was to protect the previous administration, the DoJ and also to “Get Trump!” There was never any crime to actually investigate. However, we have seen plenty of evidence of criminal activity coming from the Mueller investigation.
Even if the new probe were truly limited to surveillance issues, Moss said, it would encompass investigative work done by Justice Department personnel who would undoubtedly have played a role in the work now being done by Mueller’s team.
“This would require Mueller’s lawyers to get involved to protect the integrity of their own investigation. Now, you have two Special Counsels fighting a bureaucratic turf war.”
Ok, one problem here. Using the words “Integrity” and “Mueller” in the same sentence is laughable. He’s achieved pretty much nothing and has started wondering far afield from his original mandate. Recently, it’s come out that there was some “collusion” between the Mueller investigators and the judge who accepted General Flynn’s guilty plea regarding lying to a federal agent.
The original judge was recused from the case and the new judge is asking some very pointed questions. I’m not any sort of lawyer, (Thank God!), but I have to wonder if the new judge might not vacate the guilty plea? It’s not even clear if the original judge recused himself, or was actually removed from the case. If the latter, then it may be that Flynn’s guilty plea may be revisited. (Any legal experts, please chime in in the comments section.
It’s past time to appoint a second investigator, and Sessions should do it sooner rather then later. If he still won’t, and his reasons are junk, then president Trump needs to fire him as well.
