On Clinton and classification, FBI/DOJ officials "found her claim that she did not understand the significance of the '(C)' marking strained credulity." Inconceivable that she did not understand. https://t.co/GzZnMmRTW3

Yup, and the “gross negligence” legal analysis — as applied to these facts — is extraordinary. She violated the law. Period. https://t.co/kv0szBQbop

The defense that Strzok didn’t actually stop Trump isn’t all that relevant to the problem of intent. There is more than enough reason to terminate him and place every single one of his actions under the highest degree of scrutiny. Transparency is absolutely vital.
— David French (@DavidAFrench) June 14, 2018
No one should be the least bit surprised that an FBI agent would want to bring to justice someone who is openly collaborating with Russian intelligence in order to capture the American presidency. There could hardly be a more important mission for the FBI.

They've called for Pruitt to step down, published two posts about soccer, pushed the NYAG suit against Trump's foundation, and tweeted about movies.But nothing about the IG report. So I assume this sentiment from last year still stands:
Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state.

The IG report and its summary remind me of that intel report and its
summary about Iranian efforts for nukes back during GWB's Presidency.
That report had many indications of Iranian shenanigans but the summary said, "No, no, it's all cool, bro!"
It was the summary that was seized upon.

It also reveals that Horowitz is saying both that Strzok's motivation affected his investigation, while saying some place else that there is no proof that it affected his investigation.
His hunger to get after Trump was enough to cause him to delay looking into the Weiner laptop--thus delaying Comey's announcement--but apparently affected his behavior in no other way.
Because it's only worth condemnation when it affects Dems.

Anyways. Watching NR and Standard try to get Pruitt fired is wholly illuminating. Let me help them out with a Guide to Employment in the Trump Administration.
1) Speak against the Big Man, and your days are numbered.
2) Underperform, and you will be permitted to either improve or resign.
3) Deliver often and in quantity, and you are safe.
These can be summarized by the Primary Rule, which overruled all others. Donald Trump does not care about what his enemies say. No matter how bad it looks, if you fail to deliver he will fire you and not look back.

By basically giving the "team" the benefit of the doubt on investigative judgement calls, and finding no evidence of bias affecting the course of the investigation, the IG has itself suffered a collapse of judgement, and the report is a disaster.
Yes yes yes lots of dirt in the body of the report. Maybe even dirt that will lead to prosecutions. If so, indefensible and inexplicable that IG conclusions would give a clean bill of health on the central question - which they most definitely did.
Director Wray is not just the wrong man for the job, he's a disaster. He's been silent (a huge mistake already), but now that he's opened his mouth, worst fears are more than confirmed. Pair his comments today with some from Rosenstein the last few months, and it's hard to resist the conclusion that these two are arrogant, clueless people who really would have been perfect for the last, corrupt, Third World administration.
Trump and Sessions' judgement in keeping these two in their jobs is looking very very questionable.

But you're allowed to get real, real mad about Strzok delaying Comey's subpoena for the Weiner laptop and demand a do-over of the election.
Yet in both cases, the answer is sort of: mistakes were made. But people like Tapper are saying these mistakes are more significant than those mistakes.
Tapper reaffirms the two-tiered system of justice and concern. They want to slap Comey in irons and say HE'S THE REASON they don't have their queen, even though if Strzok delayed Comey, it wasn't Comey's decision to delay, mistakes were made.
It all depends what mistake gored who's ox.

Yet somehow the conclusion by the IG that it wasn't in any way partisan motivated? What, precisely does he think was the motivation? Random caprice? Fear of retaliation?
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 14, 2018 08:04 PM (39g3+)
Sundance at CT has explained that the summary and conclusion is NOT written by the IG. It is written by adminstrators in the FBI and DOJ. CT readers were warned NOT to comment on the report until they read the entire report, paying particular attention to the body of the report,which is the information gathered by the IG.
IOW, you can pretty much blow off the summary, as it is written by politically motivated individuals. The actual events, dates, and statements contained in the report are what Sessions and the atty he has working on this will be looking at.
Kind of like a movie review. The actual movie script and then the reviewer puts their own bias and preferences into their conclusion as to whether the movie sucked or not.

Thank you for your kind words earlier. You can take this or leave it, but Wray, Nielsen, Rosenstein, and formerly Koskinen have something in common. All of them represent agencies so corrupt that they should be disbanded, but such action may not be politically possible even if it was immediately desirable. The rank and file are politically unreliable, but either useful
In such cases, leaving figurehead in power avoids political conflict. Don't worry, I agree that they should be sacked and their agencies abolished.
Pruitt is special because he has power to revamp regulations and gut the EPA. The left knows this and hates it passionately. Which is why, by contrast, he -must- be kept on.

It also contains stunning examples of incompetence. Comey explains that he wasn't aware the Weiner laptop was big deal because he didn't know Weiner was married to Abedin? Then they sit on it a month, either cuz it fell through cracks (wow) or were more obsessed w/Trump
---
It also demonstrates the lack of Comey's administrative skills putting the same team on two different investigations--of a presidential level of importance--at the same time, thus creating the occasion for the excuse that they were pursuing Trump so they couldn't multitask and check out Weiner's laptop.

Therefore, the IG's finding of no improper motive, and only questionable but legitimate judgement calls in the investigation process is absurd. Doesn't matter how lurid the toxic and stupid views of FBI personnel, as revealed in their comms, might have been.
Some of the dramatic personae may hang (well, be convicted anyway) on particular matters, some of which might be documented in the body of the report. But the country was just told that the comically corrupt obstruction of justice clumsily performed by the FBI/DOJ on behalf of the Clinton crime team at State didn't happen - or, somehow, magically, there is no documentary evidence of it.

Not to defend his excessively passive behavior: but some men are highly committed to personal integrity, even when others don't have it. Sessions is on par with that: others supervise prosecutions when they are horribly compromised and should not be allowed near it. Sessions permits this by refusing to terminate such men. And the President would be derelict by permitting it to continue.
For whatever reason, the President and AG have decided to let these guys keep hanging themselves. I really hope Trump knows what he's doing, and the evidence currently points to "yes."

Rush said today in his opinion, Gowdy was defending his buds at the FBI a couple weeks ago to show that he was open minded, fair, hadn't come to any absolute conclusions about what was going on at the FBI, and wasn't assuming this report was going to have damning info in it. So today, his strong disappointment and statement was made to look all the more genuine, than if he had been nattering on for weeks about how awful the FBI is.
Mmm, maybe. At some point, these guys are going to have to admit that the FBI , just like the DOJ and IRS, are full of Comey's and McCabes, and need a serious overhaul, not just nibbling around the edges.

The "Mid-Year Exam" (Clinton/State) investigation was what they themselves called a "headquarters special" - it was run out of FBI HQ, not the field office. Not the usual way of doing things. Haven't had time to see whether the IG looked at things like this - very basic aspects of this case that screamed "what's going on here?".
It was so limited, almost certainly, for obvious reasons. In fact, the first senior agent involved quit in May 2016 (Giacalone), with reason to think he did so because he saw the whitewash approaching.

Don't forget that Session's confirmation hearings were when "don't let Trump be sworn in " fever was at a pitch. Sessions was accused by the Democrats in Congress of being a grand wizard of the KKK, the Russia stupidity had just opened and it took days to get him confirmed. Dems were jonesing to have him arrested for collusion because he said hello to a Russian at a dinner with 500 other people. I think people are forgetting what a circus Trump's initial appointees were for getting through Congress. Not only the Dems but the Never Trumpers, including McConnell and Ryan.
He would have still been trying to get another AG through.

I'm working my way through the entire OIG report....
I have to say -- I might be imagining it, but it almost seems like this report is written with a lot of snark. Almost like a very dry kind of humor throughout it.
The OIG report goes through a whole thing about how Comey's team couldnt find a definition for "gross negligence" in the statute (gross negligence is a term of art in law that does not need to be defined), so they went to the legislative history, where they found a floor speech of a congressman from 1917 who said gross negligence is found commonly in statutes, then uses an example about driving a vehicle recklessly and killing someone.
So Comeys crack team of researchers then looked up court cases and precedent of manslaughter laws in various states from the 1917 era requiring gross negligence. The OIG report dryly notes that the Comey's teams summation of these cases is that it requires more than negligence -- more like wanton disregard. They use the phrase "almost intent."
To me, it seems like whoever wrote the OIG report was rolling their eyes going through this whole rigmarole.
Comeys team sound like desperate defense attorneys trying to find a silly loophole that a judge maybe just maybe might buy, not prosecutors.

I keep saying it. The documentary evidence is right in their report. Its that they broke all their rules and 100% of the time it benefited Hillary. That pattern of the favoritism is the documentation. Not once did they have to explain why they were "too hard" on Hillary and apologize for putting spies in her campaign after the found an illegal server leaking classified documents to the "foreign AC-TORS"
It's in the report.
Every time they broke protocol Hillary benefited, and their words in their emails/text magnifies their intent.

Yeah, I agree. It's a real curious thing if the FBI would cop to these investigations being connected: Give Hillary the queen treatment while going hard after Trump--regardless of what Comey did in October. The connection would point to actions all aligned in a similar direction.
But if you make the case that they are not connected, then you can at least make the case that Comey invited Strzok's delay by double-booking him.
I'm not saying that's bedrock truth, I'm saying that's a strategic advantage from the enemies insistence that the FBI somehow was neutral in all this. Well, Comey ballocksed it up, by trying to have the same team run both investigations--even while giving no guidance to make sure they wrap up anything Clinton before proceeding on to Trump.
This makes Comey clearly cannable, and cause completely removes obstruction as an issue: Comey's incompetent. Even if I don't believe it in that sense.

Without a doubt they could get a conviction on at least the "gross negligence" mishandling of classified data charge.
Well, maybe not in DC, but anywhere else in the country.
Although it makes it harder now that former AAG Comey has stated as is professional prosecutor opinion that "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring the charge forward, then referenced manslaughter laws from 1917.

And any operative of the left will. I've seen it countless times. They don't have a good argument, they just need a *side* to tell. That makes you "close minded" for not considering their side, and makes you "fanatic" for insisting your own.
It allows a lot of back and forth where they run out the clock, and declare victory since "no one can decide" and "it's a divided nation" and all that crap that they say. It's the way that almost every single liberal that comes on Tucker is a time-waster, just prattling a party line (and I've tried *hard* to see in any other way) until their spot is done.
Posted by: Axeman at June 14, 2018 08:43 PM (vDqXW)
That was obviously a dodge.
The laws are clear, you do not have to demonstrate gross negligence, you do not have to demonstrate intent, all you have to show is that classified data was transmitted from secure systems to insecure systems, and that you allowed people who did not have the necessary security clearance
to access them.
In some cases, documents tohat were only viewable on secure systems that were not connected to the net jumped the gap and were transmitted to Hillary's insecure server.

Obvious bias is definitely in the report. The question is is there anything that they could take to court and get a conviction on a specific point.
It's not what you know it's what you can prove in court. The latter is a much higher bar.

I don't think Mueller cares about what he can prove in court. His target is Trump, his target court is Congress. He will twist arms and raid lawyers and totally crap over rules of evidence, because when he finally strong-arms the goods on Trump (if any), Congress isn't bound by rules of evidence.
That's what I'm thinking these days. This is why they got a guy *known* for withholding evidence and shady prosecution. Dirty Bob.

But I'm already wrong on that case. Was certain Mueller would drop it after the debacle at arraignment (defendants showed up, demanded trial and discovery, Mueller's team was completely unprepared and humiliated, and the judge sided with the defendants).
Then again Mueller's operation seems to operate free of the legal, professional, constitutional, and political constraints that face other investigations. Perhaps fitting, as it's an illegitimate criminal investigation magically emerging from a counter-intel investigation, created contrary to DOJ regs.

I'm read up on *all* of that. I know how *thin* Mueller's cases are growing. That's why I suspect he doesn't care about admissibility of evidence because Congress is not bound by rules of evidence. He just has to keep his investigation politically viable, so he can twist arms and raid homes and offices, trying to get that one piece of dirt that will impeach Trump.
That, I consider, is his game. He's got all sorts of "fruit of the poisoned tree" sitting around him. It doesn't matter.

FISA is as secret as it gets. CIA/NSA intel, SCI, code-word, etc... Just being read into all of those programs can take months. For how many investigators after their year-long initial clearance investigation?
And then what part of that "investigation" can be released to the public? Sources and methods, anyone? CIA/NSA could drag it out for a decade if they choose. And then who would trust a final report?

I don't think Mueller cares about the Flynn case falling apart. He has already ruined him financially through his "the process is the punishment" shit he has put him through in order to make him an example not to fuck with Mueller.
I hope Flynn can sue, and make back multiples of what spent on lawyers, but even that would not hurt that prick Mueller even one little bit financially.
Posted by: Calm Mentor at June 14, 2018 09:08 PM (I16G8)
As baffled as I am about Flynn's original plea, I'm extra puzzled as to why he might not go along with Judge Sullivan (who as JackStraw points out is the last federal judge alive you want on your case if you're a skeevy federal prosecutor) if it turns out the "case" is as dirty as we think it is.
Time will tell, but the Flynn case unraveling, with ramifications for many big names, is actually my dark horse candidate for actual prosecutions of vermin like Yates and a few others - though the FISA debacle seems like it would sweep the whole rogue's gallery up rather nicely, too.

I think Flynn is following a legal strategy right now that is being driven largely by the fact that the DOJ has unlimited money to spend on this case and he has very finite money to spend.
It's not an uncommon method for prosecutors to try.
There are a lot of people who have taken a plea deal who probably would have won in front of a jury but just couldn't afford to get there.

If Flynn's case falls apart there is even less reason for Mueller to even have a job. He is the only person even remotely connected to Trump and Russia as weak as it is.
When Flynn's case crumbles that will be it for the Mueller investigation if it isn't over before. It's not about Mueller, it's about the left that put him in the job in the first place. Mueller is just their weapon.

That's a good point. McCabe has done that to people too.
This is not your father's State, this is a new-school State. It raids the office of the personal counsel of a person EVERYBODY KNOWS is "under investigation", no matter how unofficial it is.
If Trump weren't under suspicion, why would firing Mueller implicate him? What could it implicate him in, if he can't be a target?
This is the doublethink that the left has trained themselves very well in. We have to avoid being sucked in. They raided the office of the personal counsel of the main target of Mueller's investigation--and once again, it won't matter because Congress has no evidentiary rules. If Mueller finds dirt--it become "serious" enough to impeach 45.

Oh, and I'm going to read some crime stats to you. Oh, and we're more exclusive than harvard. Oh, and we get a lot of interns. Also, don't care what the president, our boss, things about us. Or anyone else. Thanks, media!"

I figured he would at least say something such as, "I am stunned at some of the behavior by FBI agents in this report, and I can assure you that things will change."
Nope, he says nothing in the report impugns the agency as a whole, here's a list of some non sequitur list recent accomplishments, training blah blah blah. WTF?
Posted by: Lizzy at June 14, 2018 09:08 PM (W+vEI)
Always best when people impugn themselves with their own words. Sounds like he did. Makes me wonder what audience he thought he was speaking to. I mean, I keep wondering about the behind the scenes machinations. Who is still talking to Obama, Holder and that cabal. Stuff like that occupies me when these things happen that seem so tone deaf. Where is he getting his advice.

Wray's thing today was actually one of the most troubling, and disastrous, developments in this whole saga - which is basically a tale of unending troubling and disastrous developments.
Will say it again - in what *possible* universe could his approach today seem other than disastrous? What do Sessions and Trump think of this? Wray's institution is ablaze, and he takes the occasion of a report documenting everyone's worst fears about it to say "our brand is fine".

Fascists.
They use raw power to expand their power and propaganda to justify it. They were hoping to use some sort of unconditional pledge to intelligence agencies to cow people from standing against them.
They're fascists.

Rosenstein is following the standard protocol, once and investigation or prosecutorial process has started, no matter how absurd, farcicle or corrupt, you cannot interfere with it or stop it until it's concluded.
Anything less and you can be accused of obstructing or tampering with it and can face possible leagal jeopardy.
It's similar to Trey "I suck deep state cock" Gowdy admonition of, "if you're not guilty, act like it."
There is simply no political or judicial remedy for what ailes us.

They only need a party line to hold against yours. I say that about the left, but it's not perhaps strictly the left, but some sort of commonality of motivations between the left and the state that wants to cover for itself.
And I'm not saying that they are all the same thing, yet. Just that they share dynamics.

That means that 1% is shit.
1% is 1,000,000 % too high.
The thing is, with all of there failures in recent years - Pulse, Parkland, etc. - there's a lot more than 1% who are bad. And if that 1+% is management, which it was, well that means the whole dang agency is bad. Any good agents in the field offices were/are no doubt aware that HQ is a CF, so there's no incentive to get promoted, frustration that you aren't being allowed to do your job effectively, and why bother staying? Can only imagine what morale has been, should there be any good agents still there.

How difficult would it be to adapt a standard anti-bias training manual
to be about not having bias against conservatives? I'd imagine very
difficult. None of the "experts" in producing such manuals would want to
do it, and even if they did they wouldn't know how to argue for such a
position.

The FBI is covering to maintain it's formal power and albeit fruitlessly, it's power through reputation. People fight for lost causes, after all.
The left is motivated to advance its politics. A stalemate is the best worst-case for a motivated liar.

Oh, thank goodness. I mean, I can only get whiplash so many times a day. Flynn was a scapegoat and collateral dammage iirc. Deserves to have his rep restored.
Also, interesting that something that was intentionally hidden was recently recovered...and that we know who scuppered it.
That is an incredibly damning text message. No matter what political bent you have, something like that should be really concerning to people. We are past politics and into foundational beliefs about free and fair elections, when this stuff gets said without consequence. Indicative of how far off course we drifted.

If there were a dispute about revealing info needed to prosecute a case, DOJ would butt heads with the IC - and the CiC would make the call, in the end.
Would still require Sessions/DOJ to make a big decision, contrary to the norm, to open the kimono a bit in order to prosecute a case. Doesn't mean final call would be DOJ's.

I can no longer give them the benefit of the doubt. Any good agents would have spoken up by now.

In an exchange on August 6, 2016, Page forwarded Strzok a news article relating to Trump insulting the Kahns.
Page: Jesus. You should read this. And Trump should go f himself.
Strzok responded favorably to the article and added "And F Trump"
Page: So. This is not to take away from the unfairness of it all, but we are both deeply fortunate people.
Page: And maybe you're meant to stay where you are because you are meant to protect the country from that menace. To that end, read this: [link to a David Brooks column, about Trump's "enablers", who do not oppose him.]
Strzok: Thanks. It's absolutely true that we're both very fortunate. And of course I'll try and approach it that way. I just know it will be tough at times. I can protect our country at many levels,...

Knowing the markings used to indicate that material is classified is taught in the very first security briefing to newly-cleared personnel. There is no way Clinton - who as Secretary of State had Original Classification Authority - could not have known about them.
Those initial security briefings also make clear that the mention of information in the public sphere (via newspapers, radio, etc.) makes NO difference as to its classification. If someone leaks a piece of classified information to the press, it still remains classified until its pre-set declassification date unless someone with the authority to do so declassifies it earlier. Again, it is inconceivable that Clinton would have been unaware of this.
