Trump Demands Rosenstein, Wray Investigate Any "Irregularities" in "Tactics" Used by the DOJ Against the Trump Campaign

This seems to be a clarification of his original order: He doesn't just want a report on crimes, but on irregularities, deviations in protocol or accepted practices which may not be criminal but nevertheless are a deviation from routine.

Oh, and he also wants to review this allegedly too-dangerous-to-be-revealed-to-Congress information himself. (Or rather, by his Chief of Staff John Kelly.)

A friend points out that the White House put this out immediately itself, instead of waiting for Rosenstein or his pals to start leaking their version of it.

I have to make a point about the Deep State simultaneously leaking all biographical details necessary to identify the spy as Stefan Halper (or someone who just happens to share every key biographical detail with Stefan Halper) while also claiming that to leak his name would put a trusted undercover NOC in grave danger.

The leaks are either authorized by someone high up at Justice -- someone on the level of Rosenstein or even Sessions -- spat out to give a Modified Limited Hang-Out to friendly media forces, or they are unauthorized, and therefore criminal, leaks.

I hope Trump told Rosenstein and FBI Director Wray the following:

Either these leaks are authorized or unauthorized.

If they are authorized leaks, then you are simultaneously telling me the name is too sensitive to release, while releasing information to your media friends that all but confirm the name. In which case, you are liars, and you are protecting this name not to defend national security but to stop further inquiry (such as asking when Halper was asked to begin spying, and who asked him to spy, and on what authority or pretext), and I therefore demand your resignations by tomorrow morning.

If they are unauthorized leaks, then, by your own claims, someone has leaked out dangerous information that can literally result in the death of a highly confidential NOC operator, in which case I want you to open a full and fulsome investigation to find these leakers of sensitive NatSec information, and then prosecute them, and then jail them.

If you are not doing that already, then you are liars regarding the sensitivity of this name, and this probably was an authorized leak (or at least a tolerated leak), and in that case, I want your resignations by tomorrow morning.

This name cannot be so serious a natsec secret that the Top-Secret-clearance House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee cannot have it, and yet simultaneously so LOL No Big Deal that high ranking DOJ sources can leak everything about this guy except his name to the Washington Post, the New York Times, and CNN.

These contradictory claims amount to a lie -- there is a lie somewhere in here, on one end or the other, or maybe on both ends, and the officials at the DOJ refusing to give Congress information about this spy are therefore lying to both Congress and the President they ostensibly served and therefore should be fired for cause.

(Cautionary grain of salt): I heard that Mueller did a similar reverse move while Director of FBI. Five years in a senior management position in a field office, you had to either get a promotion and move to DC to be under control of the home office (for reindoctrination), or get out. Hundreds of years of experience were lost because senior people would move to the swamp.

I don't know where people have worked, but I had to help restructure/revamp/overhaul an 1000 person company once, and it was murder. It is excruciating, and the level of detail and documentation is mind-numbing. Plus, you also have to run the day to day business at the same time. I get exhausted just thinking about it.

175 Irregularities, such as failing to allow congressional oversight, by failing to inform Congress? Such as kneecapping the IG and preventing the IG from properly exercising oversight? Like failing to secure the evidence of Russian hacking at the DNC? Like not looping in the proper IC agencies that have the most experience in the area of homeland security and Russian operations? Like forming a small cabal of traitors and running it out of the White House?

This is a gold mine, and directing Wray and Rosenstein to do so is likely a trap, to see whether they are with or against the oversight and investigation efforts. Popcorn time.

In addition, I would add, I want to see the entirety of the scope of the investigation targets, because there was no way that the scope of Russia interference investigation should have been limited to Trump campaign, when the hillary emails featured so prominently in the narrative.

I don't think Trump particularly cares about Manafort. I don't either. He worked for Trump for what, 2 months during the election and Trump pushed him out long before Mueller came around.

He is about as deep state as you can get with a long and dirty history of working every side of every angle as long as it put money in his pocket.

For example, he worked hand in glove with Tony Podesta shoveling Russian money to the Hill. That being said it appears he has a pretty good chance to walk when all is said and done and Flynn definitely will.

But Mueller has never come close to Trump and never will.

255 Food for serious thought:

The President casting a human intelligence source as a "spy" is pure politics. Although informants and spies both technically gather information covertly, the word "informant" is generally reserved for someone righteously operating on behalf of law enforcement, whereas "spy" conjures up a more sinister mental picture of someone skulking in the shadows with questionable intentions.

It is interesting that the President's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has frequently used the term "spy" as part of a coordinated campaign to discredit law enforcement officers investigating the campaign. Mr. Giuliani was once the US attorney in Manhattan, who oversaw countless government investigations utilizing confidential informants. I doubt he ever referred to them as "spies."

And because "spy" is the appropriate term here. It is "sinister". It is "questionable intentions". At best.

This is what DC calls "spin". Or normal people call "lying". It's also why we're going to get more Trump. Whenever anyone in government starts throwing around weasel words, it's a diversionary tactic to hide that which normal people find offensive. Thing is, we know how the sausage is made now, and people who use glorious, cleansing terminology are waving big, red flags saying, "Don't Trust Me!".

Every person they don't catch in this is one more person working to make the elected branches of government subservient to the bureaucracy.

And if the resources are lacking ... the proper response is to go get what is needed. Not shrug and accept partial defeat before the battle is even joined.

343 "The former U.S. ambassador to Panama compared President Trump to a velociraptor when describing the president's leadership style in a new interview.

“In private, he is exactly like he is on TV, except that he doesn’t curse in public,” John Feeley told The New Yorker.

“He’s like a velociraptor,” he continued. “He has to be boss, and if you don’t show him deference he kills you.”
Feeley is a former Marine Corps helicopter pilot and a career diplomat. "

From The Hill. I just keep laughing about the Velociraptor description. Look, I couldn't work for the guy. You just know he's brutal, especially in the current climate of crazy and hate. So I'm not impugning this Feeley guy. For all I know he's a Dem and old and was not far from retirement anyway.

But his colorful description is hilarious.

Not only bogus, but funded by the Clinton campaign. And the FBI and senior DoJ officials knew that but didn't bother to inform Trump or the FISA Court. Rosenstein's signature is on at least one of the FISA wiretap applications.

Since there is a Dem mayor in PA headed for the cooler, my count of jailed/imprisoned Democrat mayors goes up to 40, vs. 3 Republicans.

Common sense corruption control would dictate that Democrats simply be removed/barred from office.

369 I thought he was there to stop any protests about endangering national security as he is the head - the last court of appeals. If he says "go ahead" you just ran out of excuses.

My own opinion is that is a side show. I like Nunes a lot and he has done a ton to advance the public narrative but his job is oversight not investigations. The fact that he is not getting every document he asks for as soon as he asks for it in the middle of an incredibly complex criminal investigation doesn't really surprise me that much.

Nunes and Gowdy were offered these documents last week but didn't go because Nunes said he didn't want to risk being called a leaker if they came out. Ok.

I still think it has more to do with Coats position on the leak investigations. Numerous one.

Everything is proceeding. The IG got his expanded investigation and Trump has put a very public stake in the ground and change the media narrative 180 degrees. And now the White House will see everything too although they probably already have a very good understanding of what's being redacted since Boyd already said that the White House was in agreement with redacting the documents when he sent his letter to Nunes a week and a half ago.

Trump can act too. Had a show on TV and everything.
