New York Representative Elise Stefanik begins her March 20th, 2017, questioning by asking director Comey what are the typical protocols, broad standards and procedures for notifying the Director of National Intelligence, the White House and senior congressional leadership (aka the intelligence Gang of Eight), when the FBI has opened a counter-intelligence investigation.
The parseltongue response from Comey is a generalized reply (with uncomfortable body language) that notification of counter-intel investigations are discussed with the White House, and other pertinent officials, on a calendar basis, ie. “quarterly”.
With the statement that such counter-intel notifications happen “generally quarterly”, and against the backdrop that Comey stated in July of 2016 a counter-intel investigation began, Stefanik asks:
DNI and congressional leadership”?
Watch an extremely uncomfortable Director James Comey lie by claiming there was no active DNI - which is entirely false - James Clapper was Obama’s DNI.
Blog Author's Comments: President Trump made the right move when he let Comey go. FBI Director James Comey needed to leave, he was too politicized and it was obvious that he was on the side of the Democrats, with the way he handled the Hillary Clinton email investigation. And what about Special Counsel Robert Mueller? Surely he is bumping into all of this in his investigation. Could there be a silver lining, or is he not allowed to follow the truth? I am not sure Mueller has even a passing acquaintance with ‘truth’ at this point in his life. I would like to think that he does. I would like to think a lot of things.
I remember when Mueller was first appointed, and everyone was saying what an honorable man he was. There were glowing reports of his personal biography. That was some time ago. He and Comey are long time co-workers and friends. It is hard to reconcile that Mueller, the guy who only hires Clinton cronies and NeverTrumpers to work on his investigative team, the team which positively has to know that the entire premise for their investigation is a fraud. And everybody said Comey was a ‘straight arrow’ too. So what people think they know about someone’s history does not seem to be indicative of future performance, at least when it comes to the ‘Swamp’ and those who venture into it.
And this is what bothers me about Attorney General Sessions. Just before the August recess, the Republican majority made a rule change to prevent Donald Trump - the president of their own party - from making recess appointments while Congress was out of town, perhaps plotting his destruction. It is not as complicated as it sounds. It appears - and don't doubt me - that any evidence about Russia was fabricated to get the FISA court to approve a wiretap on Manafort, Trump's one time campaign manager, and then of Trump towers.
Whoever fabricated that evidence will be able to answer many more questions. But, I do not believe we will ever know the identity of this person or the entire story, when it comes to the constant attempt of the destruction of the Trump presidency. It was also disgusting what was done to Manafort in his home and treating him like a lowlife criminal. I also question why now did this come out? Why are CNN and the N.Y. Times admitting that Trump Tower, hence Trump, was wiretapped? He said he was many months ago and everyone on the left laughed and said he did not know what he was talking about.
