Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Nunes: FBI Continues Stonewalling on Requests to Disclose Which Persons Were "Unmasked" In Reports They CirculatedNunes said last Wednesday that the FBI had not said whether it would respond to the committee's March 15 letter. He told THE WEEKLY STANDARD on Tuesday that the agency was still not cooperating, and that he did not know why. "We're still having an issue there," he said. "I'm trying to get to the bottom of that." ... The committee letter specifically requested the names of any unmasked U.S. persons related to the Trump or Clinton campaigns whose identities were disseminated from June 2016 to January 2017. They also asked for the names of agencies or officials that requested or authorized the unmasking and dissemination of that information. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

My working theory is that Acting AG and Obama hold-over Sally Yates caught Flynn in a perjury trap.
Flynn couldn't remember exactly what he had said about sanctions to the Russian ambassador because it wasn't a big deal at a time when Trump himself was signalling that he's undo what Obama did just as he was leaving office. Yates had the transcript when neither Flynn nor the White House did and played him. Flynn denied he's said anything, and Yates said he did. Posted by: Ignoramus at March 30, 2017 04:20 PM (SIY7D) 72

Posted by: Brother Cavil The problem is that from the very very beginning, J. Edgar Hoover set up the FBI as partly being a blackmail racket that ensures its ongoing existence because it keeps dirt on each successive president. J. Edgar Hoover had dirt on FDR, and thereby forced FDR's compliance to Hoover's agenda. Same with Kennedy, Johnson and so on. I think it long ago has become ossified into the FBI structure to always passively "threaten" each president by letting it be known that they have dirt on him - and in so doing, assure the FBI's continued existence.

Posted by: mallfly the expert Shemp Smith at Faux News says it's "PROVEN!!" so there you go. What a panicky little panty waist. Also, according to this latter day Edward R. Murrow, it was two functionairies on the NSC staff that "leaked" to Nunes, and two people that McMaster wanted "out" because they were "too political" but Trump intervened DIRECTLY to keep them there.

The problem is that from the very very beginning, J. Edgar Hoover set up the FBI as partly being a blackmail racket that ensures its ongoing existence because it keeps dirt on each successive president. J. Edgar Hoover had dirt on FDR, and thereby forced FDR's compliance to Hoover's agenda. Same with Kennedy, Johnson and so on. I think it long ago has become ossified into the FBI structure to always passively "threaten" each president by letting it be known that they have dirt on him - and in so doing, assure the FBI's continued existence.
Posted by: zombie at March 30, 2017 04:24 PM (DQ4Fv) Yes and no. The FBI under Hoover was corrupt but the rank and file was held to standards of professionalism that no law enforcement had ever been held to. There was a lot of wiretapping going on, but you didn't have agents working for Whitey Bulger under Hoover. But, correct me if I'm wrong.

This is all bullshit, basically the only way forward is for Trump to issue an EO instructing the FBI, the CIA, NHS, DHS and all of the alphabet LEO and IC's to divulge to congress/appropriate committee(s) all investigations both closed and ongoing, reports, notes, work product, warrant requests, warrants, tasking assignments, involved agents, tasking authorities, grand juries, etc involving Trump, his family, his associates, bussiness,etc going back to at least 2014.

Meeting of Comey with Obama operatives over somebody hacking the DNC.
Comey: We warned them. They didn't listen. Don't blame me. ValJar: Well who did it? Comey: Not sure. Russians hacked Hillary's home brew for sure. The DNC? Could have been anyone. Maybe we should go public that we'll fuck anyone who uses it? I could write an op-ed about how the FBI will be ruthless, if they do. ValJAr: Thanks, but no thanks.

239 OT, but I just found out that Jack Ziegler died. He was a cartoonist for the National Lampoon and the New Yorker. His stuff was always bizarre, but it resonated with me.

@247
As far as finding Comey's Twitter goes, the only hint he offered was the fact that he has "to be on Twitter now," meaning that the account would likely be relatively new. ==== Behold the power of Weaponized Autism. Posted by: Mortimer, FINISH HER! at March 30, 2017 05:08 PM (fLMbU) 254

They had this segment on the news about the crazy semi tattoo thing women are doing to their eyebrows, it was kinda disturbing. My neighbor has drawn on eyebrows because she plucked them all out and they won't grow back. I can't stop staring at them when I talk to her, it's freaky looking.

OT: I just had an insurance salesman visit me. I had told him in advance exactly what I needed/wanted and asked him to bring info and pricing on just those items. What did I get? Death by Powerpoint with a whole range of other products. I had to tell him 4 times to knock it off and just give me the info I requested because I was busy. Uugghhh....

>J. Edgar Hoover had dirt on FDR, and thereby forced FDR's compliance to Hoover's agenda
the exact opposite. FDR gave Hoover autonomy and responsibility for anti-subversive ops; the quid pro quo was that the FBI spied on FDR's domestic opponents. Even the pinko Theoharis admits this to be the case. The FBI did this for every President through Nixon; the breach between previous allies Nixon and Hoover was caused by the FBI spying on Nixon for Johnson (some "dragon lady" issue, IIRC).

Pretty much Comey is running his own show. And apparently no one is able or willing to do what is necessary to have him removed. Until that time I have no sympathy.

re 271: maybe 20 years ago I read a book about Watergate, it came out from one witness at the congressional hearings in 1973 that LBJ had wiretaps and/or office bugs on the 1964 Goldwater and 1968 Nixon campaign offices. Committee chairman Peter Rodino replied "we're not here to investigate President Johnson."

Look, at my company, it is difficult to fire people. So what we do instead is what is politely called "Put a saddle on them and ride them round the office." Here is how it would work:
Step 1, have Trump schedule a meeting with Comey at the FBI headquarters. Step 2, bring Nunes, Sessions, the press, and the Dems on the committee to the meeting. Surprise MF! 3) Step 3, ask for the people to explain the delay in producing the documents to everyone. Work your way down the fucking org chart, slowwwwwly. Comey will say "ah, fuck, the chief investigator needs more time...uh..." call in the chief investigator "Ah fuck, I gave that to my underling...um..." call in the underling "Oh fuck, the secretary has it....we were looking for stamps...um..." Drag this part out. make them sweat. Be polite, but firm. make it clear you have nothing better to do than torture them. 4) Step 4 - ask for the documents requested, right the fuck now. When they delay, say...you'll wait. Then...wait. Trump can spring for pizza. keep waiting. All night if you have to. have a nice time. Joke with the reporters, the other committee members. But don't leave. Simple. As. that. Oh and bonus - you will NEVER have to do this stunt again, and you will ALWAYS get the documents you requested with the greatest urgency from EVERY Federal agency. Trust me on this.... Posted by: George Orwell's Ghost at March 30, 2017 08:14 PM (UgF8H) Processing 0.03, elapsed 0.039 seconds. |
