Liberals and NeverTrump Neocons (But I Repeat Myself) Rally to Defend Mueller Against Completely True Charges That His Staff is Filled With Hyperpartisans
Do these people not want transparency? They are desperately interested in what corrupt "contacts" Trump's team may have had; why do they take the position that any corrupt contacts Mueller's team might have had are None of Your Business?
Byron York sure wants to know what "insurance policy" Peter Strzok had in mind as way of guaranteeing Trump would not become president. Interestingly, he spoke of that around the same time the first claims against Manafort were leaked to the press. But NeverTrump Neocons and liberals (again, I repeat myself) are doubling down on the claim that the FBI and DOJ bureaucrats who paid Russian agents for Hillary's campaign oppo operation should not be molested with pesky questions. James Comey's Mouthpiece Ben Wittes cries about the privacy rights of conspiring FBI agents.The release of private correspondence between two Justice Department employees whose correspondence is the subject of an active inspector general investigation is not just wrong. It is cruel. It is not the practice of the Justice Department to turn over to Congress--let alone to give to reporters--active investigative material related to the private communications of its own employees.Dude, if you don't know, why are you so insistent there should be no public revelation about the facts in contention?
Justice Department and FBI employees have the right to their political opinions. To the extent their private political expressions for some reason make it impossible for them to work on a certain matter, they certainly have the right to have that determined without having their careers ruined and their names dragged publicly through the mud by politicians who know nothing about the circumstances in question. I don’t know whether agent Peter Strzok and attorney Lisa Page did anything improper, or merely engaged in ill-advised and foolish communications that did not impact their work.
I have no quarrel with Mueller for removing Strzok from the investigation, whether for substantive or appearance reasons. But I do know this: these questions deserve to be adjudicated within the confines of a serious internal investigation, not a partisan circus.Funny, but somehow derogatory information about Trump's aides and family members' communications -- including false information -- keeps getting leaked to the press. By the way, Wittes, your pal Comey leaked a confidential FBI-work-product memo to the press for publication precisely to get an investigation started. If that's permitted, what's wrong with Rosenstein releasing this information not through a leak but through open, transparent means? Liberal adulterers Joe and Mika are shrieking about "undermining the rule of law" by attempting to actually enforce the rule of law.
On Thursday's Morning Joe, the show’s liberal panel once again rallied to the defense of Robert Mueller in response to recent calls by Republican House representatives for the former FBI director's special counsel division to be officially investigated for serious political conflicts of interest that have been revealed within it by the reporting of a variety of different news outlets. Co-host Joe Scarborough was especially annoyed by Republican Representatives Bob Goodlatte, Louie Gohmert, Steve Chabot, John Ratcliffe, Matt Gaetz, and Jim Jordan for questioning Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about Mueller’s impartiality during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Scarborough collectively referred to these congressmen, and presumably anyone else who agrees with them, as "jackasses" who are "trying to undermine the rule of law." Joe prophesied that this would ultimately lead to their political "demise."Video and transcript of these darkly muttered threats at the link. The New York Times, which has been peddling unevidenced claims of RUSSIAN collusion like drunken conspiracists for a year, calls people seizing on actual proof of an "insurance policy" to keep Trump out of office the work of "drunken... conspiracists." How did the New York Times deal with the "insurance policy" text? The simplest way possible -- they ommitted it entirely, and shielded their bebubbled idiot liberal readers from an alarming fact that might cause them mental upset. Butthurt neocon NeverTrumper Max Boot Just Can't Even With All This:
So it turns out that FBI agents, like the rest of us, have opinions. These 2 criticized Bernie Sanders, Eric Holder, Chelsea Clinton, Donald Trump. So what? Real news is their privacy is being violated & their texts used to undermine Mueller. https://t.co/pROxC0E0y0

— David Frum (@davidfrum) December 14, 2017
As special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators continue to bore into President Trump's inner circle, Republicans have intensified their attempts to discredit the investigators as partisan hacks. As news began to break last weekend that former national security advisor Michael Flynn had struck a deal with Mueller, the president's supporters latched onto another story: that one of Mueller's top investigators had been reassigned to a supervisory job after it was discovered he had been critical of Trump in text messages a year before. President Trump immediately seized on the story...Warren then argues that having anti-Trump views doesn't mean that Peter Strzok shouldn't be investigating Trump (or clearing Hillary, I suppose):
There's reason to think Strzok could hold and express anti-Trump views while remaining a professional in his law enforcement work.
Although that writer, Michael Warren, confessed to being "puzzled" by the mention of the "insurance policy" against Trump, apparently he was not puzzled enough to mention his puzzlement in his latest article about the probe, in which he speculates breathlessly that Rosenstein's answers at the hearing may indicate that Mueller might be expanding his probe -- oh joy! -- and presumably is so out of energy that he can't mention the "insurance policy" he finds puzzling. Which, by the way, was discussed at those hearings a whole heck of a lot. He seems to have learned this from Jake Tapper: Make a meaningless brief mention of news you don't like on Twitter that you can point to later to say "I covered that," then omit it entirely from your actual alleged news product. The Weekly Standard does not seem to have mentioned any of these revelations, except for Michael Warren's pouncing-and-seizing dismissal, and one op-ed in which they confessed they found some of this slightly troubling (but not so troubling to do any follow-up on the major revelations that followed).

Because I don't get "struck" from "Strzok."

He found the first batch on July 20th and presented the findings on the 27th, the day Strzok was removed from the investigation and demoted.
What I find interesting is that he claims it is standard practice to ask for text messages from anyone involved in an investigation. As the former Director of the FBI, Mueller had to know this was coming so why did he put Strzok on the investigation in the first place?

But the legal standard for recusal is even honest men recuse to avoid The Appearance of bias (which is in reality actual bias).
But Mueller got a waiver on that ... and the FBI helped destroy evidence (or promised to destroy some phones/laptops, iirc). So we are somewhere over the rainbow coalition coup ... down the rabbit hole ... through the looking glass.

I am completely convinced that all of this was specifically done to distract, disuede and discourage any criminal probe of Hilllary, the clinton foundation, the podesta group actual collusion with Russia, as well as covering the backsides of Comey, Mueller, the fbi, and the obama administration illegal use of wiretapping and election interference.

When the Weiner laptop came to light, Comey had to do something. My bet is that he had Sztrok look at it with the understanding that Sztrok would say there was nothing there.
There's a logic to keeping the conspiratorial group small. Bu then when it unravels you've got a Zelig like Sztrok popping up everywhere.

Which to ME sounds like Page giving her boyfriend a cover story to tell his wife about why he uses different phones for different conversations. But it nonetheless reveals the reality - that it's common knowledge that gov't devices offer no guarantee of privacy. Griping about this after the fact is immaterial.

A few under-appreciated facts.
0. The prior Secretary of State, H.C., engaged in obvious, treasonous conduct, and betrayed the fundamental interests, domestic and foreign, of the United States;
1. Subsequently, that same S of State, very narrowly lost an election to become President of the United States, the country she betrayed, even though much of her conduct was semi-public and/or public. (True, she had lots of data, illegally obtained, by the CIA, to assist her campaign.);
2. A high ranking FBI agent, Mr. Strzok, aided by the HEAD of the FBI, neutralized investigations into Hillary Clinton's treasonous conduct, thus subverting certain elements of the citizenry's basic legal protections;
3. Mr. Strzok did so with the endorsement or the complaisance, of many in the highest offices of government, fully aware of his agenda;
4. In spite of the demonstration that Mr. Strzok engaged in treasonous behavior, he RETAINS his employment in the FBI;
5. An independent prosecutor, Mueller, fully aware of Strzok's prior conduct, HIRED him, and others who assisted him in shielding Clinton, to investigate a fabricated charge, leveled against President Trump.
6. Some of those hired by Mueller to investigate Trump, helped fabricate the "evidence" against Trump, used to launch the investigation.
7. Strzok and those colluding with him, leveraged that fabricated evidence to prompt the CIA to spy on candidate Trump. That is, the CIA spied upon and shared, the culled data with Strzok and those colluding with him;
8. The FBI and CIA, as does the IRS, refuse to co-operate with congressional efforts to discovery their prior conduct.
9. Dozens of individuals, at the highest levels of government, protected and continue to protect the treasonous conduct by their peers; e.g., Koskinen protecting those who destroyed thousands of volumes of IRS tapes, to cover up also clearly treasonous conduct;
10. We have very few in the press, who are not willing to shield and conceal the conduct of these perpetrators.
11. The perpetrators are so brazen that they engage in this sedition, with little or no concern. Their conduct is public and semi-public; e.g., judges who willingly defy precedent and constitutional constraints, in order to protect others engaged in treasonous conduct, and to thwart an elected President's efforts to protect the citizenry from clear and present harms.
The list could go on and on.

Here's a post mortem. Comey and the FBI acted on a narrow investigation order. They never investigated how the e-mails wound up on her server. Incredibly, it was only about how Hillary handled them after they got there. (Note that Hillary's minions were given immunity, including for putting the e-mails on Hillary's server). This was purposeful and hamstrung the investigation from the start.
e.g., The FBI did not investigate the "air gap" of how secure content on the government system got moved to Hillary's home brew. This almost certainly had to involve some combination of Huma, Cheryl or Jake. With none of them made a target -- nor their actions tied to Hillary -- much of the case was lost. No intent, no conspiracy. No leverage on Hillary's minions. Importantly, I thought this could be proven without any minion flipping, just with time logs of who accessed what and when. This should have been a relatively easy case to make. Had it been, there's no way that Comey couldn't find requisite intent no matter how he read the applicable statutes.
Nor did the FBI investigate Clinton Cash Corruption. I thought they would, based on leaks to Fox News'' Catherine Herridge. She got played. So did I. Related to this, the FBI ignored that "Hillary's lawyers permanently put 30,000 e-mails beyond forensic recovery." This is the true Holy Shit Headline.

And it includes all the spying on Trump as the Fusion/Russian woman went in, and they "wired" Trump Tower. Then the lies to get the FISA warrant, the changing of the rules so anyone at the WH could acquire the normally masked "wiretap" intel to reporters.

Not to mention the fact taht I'm sure everyone who ever came within an arm's length of Strzok knew that he was a Shrillary butt-boi and hated Trump (and probably all to the right of Che) with the heat of a thousand suns. I doubt Strzok was very subtle about his political leanings and intentions. He doesn't appear to have made any smart decisions regarding anything, so far as we've seen.

OK let me get this straight- a married FBI agent was texting with his

the "menace" from taking office so they needed an "insurance policy" in
case the "plan" failed. And Storzk The Heroic was a guy that might just

Meuller had an almost impeccable reputation before this mess.
I wounder if he took this job without really understanding (or was misled about) the entrenched Deep State shit that was bubbling beneath the surface.
Some people still value their reputations... and Meuller stikes me as one of those guys. Im wondering if this shit is going to give him pause and he ends up shutting the whole thing down with "COLLUSION?? What Collusion"??

Trump is basically not into making a global democracy.
There's a strong feeling, well read and possibly even well intentioned core of folks who think they can fix things. They really really think they can fix them. They think that all the efforts of the past were just mis directed. Those folks on the left identify themselves as communists. Those folks on the right don't really like to identify themselves with a label.

2 problems. "I think such and so policy is wrong" is a political opinion. "Trump MUST be stopped... Heil Hillary... I've got an insurance policy *wink*" kind of goes beyond that.
Second, everyone may have opinions, but that might indicate a duty to recuse yourself. Imagine if a judge were caught tweeting "I really hate this defendant. I'm going to try to prejudice the jury against him". You'd think there'd be a call for his recusal and that it was unethical not to do it himself.

Kari for Hillary. What is going on in their head that they risked it
all to be a footservant to a women that smells of talcum, bourbon and
urine and talks to herself about herself endlessly?
Strzok's wife got a sweet promotion at the SEC in mid-October.
That might have gone a long way it patching things up with her after the Page affair. People like Hillary like corrupt people (just look at who she's closest to), because they are much easier to pressure into to doing what she wants.

OK let me get this straight- a married FBI agent was texting with his
married girlfriend on the GI phones that the secret "plan" they were
talking about in someone else's office might not be enough to keep PDT
the "menace" from taking office so they needed an "insurance policy" in
case the "plan" failed. And Storzk The Heroic was a guy that might just
be the guy to save the United States.
And then Storzk manufactures a FISA warrant to spy on Trumps associates.
Posted by: Cuthbert the Witless at December 15, 2017 02:55 PM (ymnmz)
And
his girlfriend was an attorney situated in an office that would have
given her the ability to approve - or at least lobby for approval of -
said FISA warrant application, yes.

Not if we were talking amongst ourselves on how to make her appear guilty 2 months before the investigation officially started. Or talked about an insurance policy to use in the event she was elected. It is reasonable to expect FBI agents to have political opinions, but you have to trust that those political opinions don't influence the rigor or outcome of the investgation. That was clearly not the case here.

How many actually donate to political campaigns? 5%?
How many rant about politicians on their government issued communication devices (and open to FOIA)? Despite opinions on gov drones being all progs, I doubt it is less than 1%. They get yearly training not to use government resources for political purposes.
There are plenty of people out there that could make an unbiased investigation team just by picking random people to staff it with. The probability of innocently assembling a team who swept Hills crimes under the rug is literally incredible.
Mueller had clearly chosen as about as biased team that he could.

They conducted so much "private" business on government resources, on government time, that it was carried out in boxes. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with conducting private affairs with government resources, no regulations on that, right?

The left is trying to hold their narrative ... like an army under siege. They are still going with the Trump/Russia narrative, and have opened the second front of distraction with Weinstein and the rest of the Misogynists being outed.
That fills people's heads for the allotment of daily news, but the real story is Obama/Clinton spying on Trump, and the real global cabal of money laundering, much running through the Clinton fund, but also a wider network.

opinions. To the extent their private political expressions for some
reason make it impossible for them to work on a certain matter, they
certainly have the right to have that determined without having their
careers ruined and their names dragged publicly through the mud by
politicians who know nothing about the circumstances in question."
It isn't that they expressed political opinions, that they can do legally, it is that they expressed that they were planning to take actions to influence the outcome of an election and to moot the will of the people should Trump be elected.
"Words are cheap, the price of action is colossal."
It is that they conspired to take actions that is the problem and is where the illegality starts. If they can be shown to have taken an action in furtherance of thwarting the Trump campaign or the result of the election then a criminal conspiracy is what they are part of.

I am not sure from "what little reading I have done" that Comey has his fingerprints on anything that can really hurt him. I think if he plays stupid enough and burns a few people under him, he will walk away disgraced, but still get a nice seat on the Board of Some Toney Country Club (Gotta trade mark (or copyright) that name have I mentioned I'm not a lawyer)

I'm sorry for your dilemma! I hope it's ok that I find it hilarious. I'm sure the wrapping looks beautiful. I hate rewrapping gifts once I've wrapped them!! I feel your pain.
I keep putting off my own wrapping, sigh, need to do it soon. I buy various wrapping paper from the dollar store, patterns that work together, and then mix and match whatever. This year is woodland critters! Last year was holiday themed Star Wars.

There's also a chart listing suggested settlement amounts to be paid to the men who were being harassed:
If Rosa DeLauro, then government pays $50 million.
If Kristi Noem, then "victim" pays government $10,000.

On February 25, 2015, DHS published a final rule extending eligibility for employment authorization to certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants who are seeking employment-based lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. DHS is publishing this notice of proposed rulemaking to amend that 2015 final rule. DHS is proposing to remove from its regulations certain H-4 spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants as a class of aliens eligible for employment authorization.

Meuller had an almost impeccable reputation before this mess.
I wounder if he took this job without really understanding (or was misled about) the entrenched Deep State shit that was bubbling beneath the surface.
Some people still value their reputations... and Meuller stikes me as one of those guys. Im wondering if this shit is going to give him pause and he ends up shutting the whole thing down with "COLLUSION?? What Collusion"??

Except for the fact that he was Comey before Comey was Comey.
When Comey couldn't Comey anymore, he set it up to bring in the guy Comey learned to Comey from.
He's dirty from the Uranium One days. At least Comey doesn't have his fingerprints on that Clinton scam.
He took the job because it was self serving - to keep his own ass out of jail.

God is in charge of eternal judgment. Whatever Comey did he still has time to throw himself on the mercy of the Lord and ask for pardon for his sins. His being a corrupt hyper partisan does not mean he cannot go to Heaven.

An avid student of history, I thought conservatives and populists would split from these New Whigs just as anti-slavery Republicans like Lincoln and Fremont split off from the old Whigs back in the day. It didn't occur to me they would be the ones splitting from us.

Look, I'll concede that he may be a bit more conservative at heart than a lot of GOPers, but he's still very much an Establishment guy. The Ryanites didn't make him Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee because he's a Tea Party darling or fire-breathing Trumper, for heaven's sake.

Imagine a remake of "Seven Days in May" where a loudmouthed populist outsider is elected president, and the FBI and key intelligence / counterintelligence officials decide they love the country too much to let him take it in the direction he wanted.

Forget Trump for a moment - what if they were investigating a businessman, and e-mails came out where the investigators said they actively hated the man, actively wished for his demise, and had created an insurance policy to get him no matter what? Wouldn't the defense counsel then seize on these e-mails and say, hey, this was a frame up, the case was tainted from the start by the personal animosity of the prosecutors toward the accused? And wouldn't they win that trial?
My questions goes to the DOJ - why are you tanking your possible case by staffing your investigation with these yo-yos? We are not just helping Trump by demanding these e-mails, and that the employees be fired - we are trying to help you as well bring forth an untainted case for either conviction of dismissal of the charges and claims. Your acts of obfuscation, lies, and foot dragging are NOT HELPING you achieve your stated objectives.
So when your own actions seem counterproductive to the goals you espouse, we begin to wonder if your stated goals are your real goals, or part of the "insurance policy".

What sting? If by sting you mean honey pot for the Hillary cause then yeah, she's in on that.
If she was leading him anywhere it was to make sure Hillary was exonerated and that they did everything to help her win including illegally wiretapping and surveilling their opponent's campaign and then committing treason/sedition to overthrow a duly elected president. All using a made up dossier with a FISA court stamp of approval.
The FBI knowingly created/paid for false information and then used that information as the basis for this abomination.
They all need to hang.

Simple thought experiment I always use: Reverse the players from Red to Blue. As in: WRT to "Russion Collusion" of Hillary Clinton, Peter Strozk, one of many Republican-FBI agents was caught in texts to his paramour calling Hillary an idiot and buffoon and they needed an insurance policy to keep her from getting elected.

Hillary was both a former First Lady and a Secretary of State. In both capacities I have to imagine that half of what she reads or writes is in some way confidential, if not classified.
So what does she do? She puts **all** of her SoS correspondence on her own unsecured server. Spectacularly irresponsible.
And then this Strzuck guy. First of all, despite the fact that he's married, he decides he should dip his wick in the office pool. That's dumb anywhere but at the FBI, that alone ought to be enough to get a rookie FBI guy fired.
But Strzuck isn't a rookie. He ends up texting his "paramour" (I loved it when Gowdy used that in grilling Rosenstein the other day) on his .gov device. The content of the conspiracy suggested by the texts is bad enough, but Strzuck isn't some guy on the bank robbery detail who just forgot that texts are discoverable.....he's some kind of big cheese in FBI counter-intelligence. Did he not learn anything in Counter-Intelligence 101? How many bad guys did he trip up by grabbing what had been recorded on an electronic device? Like Hillary, Strzuck appears to me to be spectacularly arrogant....believing that he was above scrutiny.
And I watch enough TV to say that the consensus on his name is "Struck".
