Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Literally "Unbelievable:" Congressmen Rip FBI's Excuses for "Losing" Strzok Texts; Say This Is Bigger Than Lois LernerNo one should believe this, because it's an obvious lie.The revelation that the FBI "failed to preserve" five months worth of anti-Trump agents’ text messages is evoking memories of Lois Lerner, the IRS official whose emails mysteriously disappeared during congressional investigations into her targeting of conservative non-profit groups. "The [Lois] Lerner thing was huge," Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan told The Daily Caller. "My gut tells me this is probably bigger."Isn't it funny how misbehaving, weaponized parts of the bureaucracy keep "losing" evidence of their crimes when called to account? Jordan, who serves on the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees, sees parallels to the Lerner investigation... After months of investigation, IRS officials claimed that thousands of Lerner emails from before April 2011 had been lost due to a crash of her email system. The snafu occurred in June 2011, just days after the House Ways and Means Committee requested IRS documents, including emails from Lerner’s division.During this period when Strzok's/Page's texts were "lost" (deliberately), December 2016 to May 2017, many important things happened in the RUSSIA investigation, which the texts could have shed light on: Conversations between Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The completion and publication of the intelligence community assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The briefing in which FBI director James Comey told President-elect Donald Trump about the Trump dossier.This is a huge one, as many suspect, for very good reason, that this briefing was not a briefing of the president but of the press -- the press had passed on reporting on the Pee-Pee Party dossier, so Clapper and Comey decided to "brief the president" about it, for the express purpose of then immediately leaking news of the "briefing" to the press, for the express purpose of making the otherwise-unreportable dossier now reportable. After all, the dossier had been "briefed" to the president. Doesn't that now make it something that the public should know about (via an illegal leak)? Other things that happened during the period of the "lost" email: Would there have been texts discussing this? Maybe speaking about it in a way that suggested this was a set-up for the exact purpose of getting the more-pliable Ron Rosenstein in charge of making decisions about a special prosecutor? "Strzok and Page had a lot to talk about," Byron York dryly comments. BTW, York also notes a real hmmmdinger of a new text which the FBI didn't "lose" but is now disclosing. It involves Strzok and Page saying that now that Trump would be the nominee (after Cruz dropped out), the "pressure" to conclude the investigation into Hillary's emails was now even more urgent. John Sexton also writes about this. Below, "MYE" refers to "Mid-Year Examination," which is the euphemism the FBI used to refer to the Clinton email investigation. Ms. Page: And holy s**t Cruz just dropped out of the race. It's going to be a Clinton Trump race. Unbelievable. Mr. Strzok: What?!?!?? Ms. Page: You heard it right my friend. Mr. Strzok: I saw trump [sic] won, figured it would be a bit. Mr. Strzok: Now the pressure really starts to finish MYE…. Ms. Page: It sure does. We need to talk about follow up call tomorrow. We still never have.And they weren't talking about pressure to bring charges against her, of course. They meant it was now imperative to clear her so she could beat Trump. The "loss" of key information which would otherwise be turned over to defendants in the dragnet could very well lead to a motion to dismiss charges against Manafort and other members of Trump's team. Months of text messages don’t just accidentally disappear. One past conversation between Strzok and Page indicated that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch knew there would be no charges filed against Clinton well before that investigation ended. Given the significant evidence of impropriety in the Clinton case, a foregone conclusion of innocence before the FBI wrapped up their investigation looks shady at best. Trump’s lawyers will surely argue that after those messages came to light, the DOJ intentionally "lost" those five months; worth of other messages. Look for Paul Manafort to jump all over this. He’s already fighting his indictment, claiming that Mueller is overstepping his authority and shouldn’t be running the investigation. Throw in this evidence that the investigation may have been tainted before Mueller even took over, and that the DOJ could be covering up damaging information, and a motion to dismiss alleging prosecutorial misconduct is a near certainty.Steven Green has a cynical interpretation of this literally unbelievable "loss" of key information -- you're not even intended to believe it. You're supposed to take it as a warning by the FBI that they can break whatever law they like and perjure themselves to courts and Congress and you can't do a damn thing about it, so you'd damn well better fall in line. One more thing: A source connected to the House Intelligence Committee says the FBI must now affirmatively prove that the "loss" of these emails is not deliberate wrongdoing. The source was described by Fox News as a member of the congressional committee investigating the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation. "The FBI must show now that the missing texts are not obstruction of congressional oversight or destruction of evidence," the source reportedly statedThe FBI claims this is a "misconfiguration problem" which affected some Samsung 5 phones. But per Chuck Ross, the FBI is now refusing to answer the question: How many such phones suffered this "misconfiguration problem"? Because if the number turns out to be somewhere between 2 and 20, and most of those phones just happen to be those used by Mueller's team and the various partisans whose names we've come to know so well, we've got some serious, hire-a-criminal-attorney problems, lads.

______________________ Yeah, we already received that warning from Obama's corrupt and weaponized IRS. They'll break whatever laws they damn well please, they'll blatantly destroy whatever evidence of their crimes they damn well please, and congress will roll over on its belly. Lois Lerner got to retire with her pension intact and her testimony hidden from public view, and not one single damn IRS agent or supervisor ever suffered any repercussions for destroying reams of evidence. The taxpayers even get stuck paying for these criminals' legal bills. It's long past time for citizens to stomp these a-holes into the ground.

Yeah, we already received that warning from Obama's corrupt and weaponized IRS. They'll break whatever laws they damn well please, they'll blatantly destroy whatever evidence of their crimes they damn well please, and congress will roll over on its belly. Lois Lerner got to retire with her pension intact and her testimony hidden from public view, and not one single damn IRS agent or supervisor ever suffered any repercussions for destroying reams of evidence. The taxpayers even get stuck paying for these criminals' legal bills. ===== As much as I want to support Law Enforcement, the DC follies and various other egregious and dangerous razzberries given to taxpayers by local law enforcement has me honestly worried.

To look at this seriously, this is Trump's true challenge, one that I believe he will be up to.
The question is - how to BEST use these revelations to root out the evil which is nested inside our government, while at the same time achieving our overall goals? Jumping out emotionally without thinking through the response very carefully is likely to ruin a lot of possibilities. This thing is SO big that there is a LOT of leverage here. What happens to a few individuals who are corrupt is very small potatoes, although of course they need to be cashiered. But this is now a golden opportunity to reshape and wound the Deep State that I never thought would arise. It has to be done very carefully and cautiously. But I think this may be where Trump will excel most. Posted by: Tom Servo at January 22, 2018 05:27 PM (k1TUh) 122
Astonishing. Truly the Democratic party is the biggest, most effective organized crime operation in American history. What if Hillary Clinton had won? We'd know about none of this, and the Democrats would be cementing their control of the country's internal security apparat. That is, if it isn't already wholly owned property, owned by the Left.
Just as some describe the United States as a propositional nation, that is, one can be an American by accepting the premises which make up the Declaration and the Constitution*, Democrats have become a propostional ethnic group; Enemy-Americans. *Of course, one can easily spot the flaw in that silly idea. What if someone lies about accepting the premise? Ties of loyalty and trust have to be made of something stronger than just saying what someone wants you to say, and then you get a vote.

So if a hypothetical President of America were to hypothetically use a hypothetical military to root out and eliminate known elements of corruption from the Executive branch, would that still count as a "military coup"?
Or just "cleaning house" with a slightly gunpowdery accent? It seems most if not all of this Deep State treachery occurs in the alphabet soup of agencies that form the Executive branch. Not much to do with Congress or the Judiciary. At what point must these agencies be reminded that they are not, in fact, untouchable, but very, very touchable indeed?

Congress, vs the Administration, vs the Courts... AND, Army, vs Marines... So you would always have some check and balance in case one of the other entities got out of control.

TRUMP having the power to surveil his future political opponents. That is what's waking up the saner Leftists to how bad this is. If they go along with Obama/Clinton playing that game then they can't complain when Trump has every D candidate under CIA/NSA surveillance in 2020. --- I think the lefties can rest pretty soundly in the knowledge they will never be on the receiving end of this.

The Founders, when they designed our system, made sure that there were competing centers of Power... Congress, vs the Administration, vs the Courts...AND, Army, vs Marines... So you would always have some check and balance in case one of the other entities got out of control. We used to have competing Federal Police as well... Marshall service, FBI, Secret Service, ATF... and competing Spy groups... CIA, FBI, Def Intelligence folks... But now? After 9/11, they are no longer competing, but under same bosses... the National Security Advisor... and Attorney General... Who do you send to investigate the FBI? Who spies on the NSA?

If the people on the House Intelligence Committee are taking their jobs seriously, they must not only threaten subpoenas against half the people at the Bureau, they must also start talking about whether the Bureau itself deserves to continue in operation.

You know, I always try and come up with an "innocent mistake" scenario. That is, if these guys just screwed up, how would they behave, versus what we are seeing.
And I must say, texting your secret girlfriend this shit doesn't count for much in the intelligence department. Ergo, the erasure of the texts is likely to be poorly done, if it was intentional. I have higher hopes than the Lerner situation because a) there are a lot of FBI people who actually do give a shit about their reputation, and will bust ass to see it restored and b) Lerner happened back with Obama was in charge of Justice, which explains...a lot.

Being constantly angry is not healthy and in the end makes you a miserable person. I learned a lot last year even at my ripe age of 29. I'm not saying don't be angry at what's happening in the country but don't let it consume you. Just my 2 cents.

The Department wants to bring to your attention that the FBI's technical
system for retaining text messages sent and received on FBI mobile devices failed to preserve text messages for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page, and Boyd attributed the failure to"misconfiguration issues related to rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with the FBI's collection capabilities. I'm guessing this means the texts weren't copied to the FOIA system. That's slightly credible for everyone with that phone HW/SW for that timeframe. Not if it's just the strokejobtwins. Presumably they're everywhere else (the phones, NSA, verizon) unless they actually we're deleted. Posted by: DaveA at January 22, 2018 06:02 PM (FhXTo) 340
Lot's to digest, but before I read the content, I think Trump could readily get a mandate to fire hundreds of people in the Justice Department and prosecute dozens at the top echelons on incompetence alone. Not that what we are witnessing is incompetence because we aren't. This is criminal activity in perhaps immeasurable quantities. But if the defense of those who have partaken in this partisan assault on the state is repeated cases of "the whoopsies", then they should be summarily fired for gross negligence, incompetence, and stupidity.

This isn't that hard. Federal Law requires backups of backups of backups of backups of backups of the shit. You identify and subpoena the people that are responsible for safeguarding it. You tell them to bring it to court by a certain date. If they show up and say we don't have it, the judge politely tells them that all of their narrow asses are going to sit in jail cells until they produce it.
If they then give some bullshit excuse about how their dog pissed on the server or there was some incredible coincidence that every hard drive in the building crashed, then the judge politely tells them that it looks like their jail stay will be a long one. You would be surprised what the actual threat of sitting in a jail so does to one's Focus. This is a deliberate dick in the eye to Congress, the executive branch, the judiciary, the constitution, the rule of law, and the American people from a subsidiary agency at the direction of the President telling Christ and everyone to go fuck themselves because they're above the law. These motherfuckers need dragged out of their offices in the Beltway by their nose hairs nose hairs and brought before the hangman.

The FBI claims this is a "misconfiguration problem" which affected some Samsung 5 phones.
But per Chuck Ross, the FBI is now refusing to answer the question: How many such phones suffered this "misconfiguration problem"? Because if the number turns out to be somewhere between 2 and 20, and most of those phones just happen to be those used by Mueller's team and the various partisans whose names we've come to know so well, we've got some serious, hire-a-criminal-attorney problems, lads. After what just happened in the Bundy trial, and now this, every single solitary criminal defense attorney worth s/h/it's salt is drafting a motion to dismiss all charges on the basis that the FBI has confirmed that it does not have in place effective backup protection on possible Brady evidence and since the FBI has lost this evidence then the charges must be dismissed. I mean, how do we know this is confined to the S5? Hmm? And Green is right, this is absolutely an explicit so what are you going to do about it. And the answer will be nothing. I mean, the FBI lab misconduct investigation is now on year 20 or so. No, I'm not kidding about that. Posted by: alexthechick - Ragebunny. With jaunty propeller beanie.

I deal with stories from Tenants from time to time, and I know I have the same attitude that a lot of cops have with traffic tickets. When things have gone south, I kind of expect some kind of story, but I can't help but give a bit of credit to someone who at least tries to come up with a really good story to make it go down easier. That's what I would do, after all.
And nothing pisses me off more than someone who has so little respect for me that they don't even try to come up with a decent explanation. As the saying goes, adding insult to injury. That's REALLY unforgivable. Posted by: Tom Servo at January 22, 2018 06:12 PM (k1TUh) 408

Taking a pension away without adjudication by a federal court is unlikely. Even after conviction of a felony (at least in my state). Congress critters protect each other regardless of party affiliation. Shaming those who have no shame is not possible.
