    Comey’s “incompetence” gets dropped down the Memory Hole

    There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.      Oscar Wilde

    It is said that nothing improves a man’s character faster than dying. The same, it seems, is true of being fired.
    At least, that’s what you can deduce from the press reactions to Donald Trump’s firing ofFBI director James Comey.
    You remember James Comey? Last autumn he was the target of media-hate when he told congress the FBI were re-opening the investigation into Clinton’s email issues. Back thn, in the fall, he was widely blamed, even demonised, among Hillary Clinton’s supporters, for costing her the election and being soft on Trump. Hillary even said so herself.
    But now Trump has fired him, And everything is different.
    The Chicago Tribune who, back in October were saying he should be fired, are now saying Trump should be impeached – for firing him.
    The Boston Globe, back in October, said Comey should resign, but now he has been fired they claim it’s the “worst abuse of presidential power since Watergate”. (Torture camps and assassinations aren’t abuses of Presidential power…but firing people is. So that’s OK).
    CNN also said Comey should resign last October. Now he has been fired? Well, they think its “dangerous and unpredictable”.
    Back in the fall the Atlantic said Comey was so incompetent both main parties hated him, but still today, now he’s fired, they call it a “Nixonian moment”
    Last November Salon said the FBI was full of “partisan hacks” who were fans of Trump and trying to smear Hillary. Now Comey’s been fired? NIXON REDUX!
    (The Nixon comparisons are especially thick on the ground. It was clearly in the dispatched list of talking points).
    In November Newsweek thought Comey was “unfit for office”, but now think Trump firing him will call down an “hour of reckoning”. Presumably the kind of reckoning reserved for those who fire people that are unfit for office.
    In October the Guardian implied Comey was a criminal, and criticised the FBI for being full of an anti-Clinton atmosphere and even suggesting Clinton would fire him when she won. But now Trump has actually fired him the Graun thinks it’s a breach of America’s “unwritten constitution” (whatever that means).
    If only they displayed that much concern for the actual written constitution.
    So – seven months ago we were being told again, and again that Obama must fire Comey. Today we are being told by the same people that Trump is a new Nixon – for firing Comey.
    ‘Reality’ is just torn up and rewritten on a daily basis. October’s Comey-hate has now been dropped down the Memory Hole.

  • Bill Clinton Fired The FBI Director The Day Before Vince Foster Was Found Dead
    Political Add comments

    May 102017

    In 1993, Bill Clinton ousted William Sessions as FBI director a day before Vince Foster was found dead.
    he FBI opened the investigation into the Travel Office firings in May 1993.
    Bill Clinton fired the FBI director on July, 19th 1993.
    Vince Foster was found dead on July 20th 1993.
    The FBI was called in to assist with the investigation.
    To be fair, the Clintons tend to kill people so often that the firing of an FBI director at the same time is probably a coincidence.

  • i dont like what the Dems have to say about all t his but one thing I  agree w ith is

    why didn't he fire him a long time ago? Why was the Clinton exoneration debacle (while the peasants never are exonerated and often are found guilty even when innocent) not enough to fire him? Maybe everyone ... just everyone is afraid of the Clintons. Money brings great power, power means u can g et away with stuff. I think Foster was murdered and there was a cover up. Thank God that witch didn't become president.

  • It's a good thing that Comey was fired. Why? There is no need for a Russia investigation, he was a waste of space. Donald Trump won the election in a fair manner through the Electoral College.

  • Comey Fired — Now Indict Hillary

    By Daniel John Sobieski  /  American Thinker
    Former FBI Director Comey and acting attorney general Yates were fired for essentially the same reason, namely, usurping authority they did not have. Comey assumed the judgment, authority, and prerogatives of the attorney general to address Hillary Clinton’s crimes last July, only to exonerate her.
    Even if he had recommended an indictment and prosecution, he would have been wrong to hold that press conference. His job was to investigate and put his findings quietly in the AG’s inbox. But not only was he wrong to hold that press conference, his recommendation not to indict was wrong as well. We have corrected one wrong. It is time to correct the other.
    In a conversation with Fox Mews’ Martha MacCallum, Fox News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano suggested that Comey’s firing was bad news for Hillary Clinton, clearing the way for her indictment for violations of the Espionage Act:
    Quote
    ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Let me suggest another scenario, that Rod Rosenstein reviewed the Hillary Clinton file, which he had never seen before and decided that Comey’s judgment was utterly irregular and inappropriate and that maybe she should have been, and still can be indicted for espionage, the failure to safeguard state secrets while she was Secretary of State.
    MARTHA MACCALLUM (HOST): Alright, we will see.
    We will see indeed, perhaps sooner than we might expect. While Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorable” was marching to the polls pitchforks and torches in hand to deny her access to the presidency and a new revenue source for the Clinton Foundation, Scooter Libby got his law license back and was reinstated to the bar by the D.C. Court of Appeals.
    Libby was Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff when he was charged with obstruction of an investigation into the “outing” of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative. Plame was in fact a desk jockey at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, not a secret agent in harm’s way. As Investor’s Business Daily noted:

    Quote
    Remember the alleged outing of the already known CIA officer and desk jockey Valerie Plame? We were told then that the Vanity Fair cover girl’s 15 minutes of fame jeopardized our national security even if everybody already knew who she was.
    “Scooter” Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, went to jail because his memory of events and who said what to whom regarding Plame differed from the recollections of others, particularly news reporters.
    [size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
    Libby in fact did not out Plame, who was not a covert operative. Hillary Clinton, whose faulty memory caused her to say to the FBI she couldn’t recall some 39 times, did in fact endanger the lives of foreign operatives in her “carelessness”, as FBI Director James Comey put it, regarding classified emails.
    Hillary’s lies and reckless carelessness included the transmission of emails containing the names of actual CIA operatives in the field involved in clandestine operations. As the New York Post reported:
    [/font][/size]

    Quote
    Hillary Clinton’s e-mails included the names of CIA officers serving overseas and foreigners who are on the spy agency’s payroll — potentially endangering their lives, it was reported Monday.
    “It’s a death sentence,” a senior intelligence-community official told the Observer. “If we’re lucky, only [foreign] agents, not our officers, will get killed because of this.”
    The paper said the intelligence community is in panic mode trying to determine which agents may have been compromised.
    CIA officials assume foreign agencies intercepted unencrypted e-mails stored on Clinton’s home server while she was secretary of state.
    [size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
    So why was Libby convicted and Hillary Clinton not even indicted? In an interesting historical footnote, Comey, who falsely claimed that no serious prosecutor would take the case of Hillary Clinton, was among those who found sufficient evidence to prosecute and convict Libby. Comey, it appears, has even more explaining to do. As the Daily Caller reports:
    [/font][/size]

    Quote
    Washington D.C.-based former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova believes the Libby decision is a “terrible blow” to FBI Director James Comey, who announced Sunday that the agency had no new conclusions on Hillary Clinton and her private server from the 650,000 new emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
    “Scooter Libby was restored to the practice of law by the DC court of appeals because they believed that Scooter Libby presented evidence that his original trial had been corrupted by false testimony. And that false testimony was coerced by Jim Comey’s friend Patrick Fitzgerald and Comey was part of the team to destroy the vice president of the United States and it didn’t happen,” DiGenova said.
    He added,” It’s such a smack in the face to Jim Comey.  Comey and Fitzgerald tried to frame Scooter Libby, and they did….”
    [size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
    The evidence against Hillary is damning, and the line of prosecutors willing to take the case would encircle the FBI building in Washington, D.C Judge Michael Mikasey, former attorney general under President George W. Bush, listed the charges that Hillary Clinton could face on Fox Radio’s “Kilmeade and Friends:”
    [/font][/size]

    Quote
    We are looking at a range of things, everything from the misdemeanor that was charged against General Petraeus, which is putting classified information in an unprotected, classified setting, that’s a misdemeanor. Then there is destroying government records. Then there is taking information related to the national defense and treating it with gross negligence such as it becomes disclosed. And finally, there is obstruction of justice.”
    [size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
    There is the destruction of evidence under congressional subpoena. As even Comey admitted, Hillary lied about sending and receiving classified material; about having only one device, and about turning over all her emails. If intent is needed, what is accidental about smashing devices with hammers or using Bleach Bit to render emails unrecoverable? If you need a motive for having a private server, which speaks to intent, the obvious purpose is to cover up the “pay to play” trail that leads from the State Department to the Clinton Foundation.
    As Investor’s Business Daily editorialized, donations to the Clinton Foundation even played a factor in the refusal of Hillary Clinton’s State Department to designate Nigeria’s Boko Haram as a terrorist organization for two years:
    [/font][/size]

    Quote
    Hillary’s emails may be only the tip of an iceberg that could include Clinton Foundation donations to shield Boko Haram from being designated a terrorist group and her brother’s involvement in a Haitian gold mine….
    Quote
    Last month, the Washington Post reported on another deal involving Rodham that could prove politically embarrassing and damaging for his sister. It seems that he sits on the board of a company that got a coveted gold-mining contract from the government of Haiti after the Clinton Foundation sponsored relief work in Haiti.
    In interviews with the Post, both Rodham and the chief executive of Delaware-based VCS Mining said they were introduced at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, which seems more and more to be an unseemly mix of charitable work with the political and business interests of Clinton Foundation donors.
    And then there’s Hillary’s strange dealings regarding the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram, which just recently pledged its allegiance to the ever-expanding Islamic State — dubbed the “JV team” by President Obama, who has yet to make good on his pledge to degrade and destroy them.
    Last May, we wondered why for two years on Hillary Clinton’s watch the State Department refused to designate a Nigerian Islamist group as a terrorist organization. This group has murdered thousands as it wages a real war on women. As Josh Rogin at the Daily Beast reports, the Clinton State Department “refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011″ after the group bombed the United Nations headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria.
    Sen. David Vitter, R-La., sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry last week asking for all of Hillary’s records relating to Boko Haram and her reluctance to designate it a foreign terrorist organization.
    Vitter also requested all of Hillary’s communications with Gilbert Chagoury, a Nigerian construction tycoon who has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. Vitter noted that Chagoury had a financial interest in the potential impact of designating Boko Haram a terrorist group
    How many of the more than 30,000 “personal” emails that Hillary deleted from her private account relate to these matters? Is that why she needed a private email server? We need to see that server. It might provide, er, a veritable gold mine of information.
    This is but one example. The public corruption of Hilary and Bill Clinton was also on display in Colombia, Haiti, and other places. Hillary Clinton has endangered the lives of our foreign operatives, placed our national security at risk, lied to Congress, the FBI, and the American people, and used her public office to enrich herself and her family without benefit if a business or private sector job.
    Various FBI offices are said to still be investigating the Clinton Foundation and we can only hope so. Comey doesn’t think there’s any fire under all that smoke but perhaps a Trump attorney general might think differently. We have hope in Trump’s own remarks in a presidential debate as reported by the New York Times:
    Quote
    About 20 minutes into the debate, Donald Trump delivered a menacing threat to Hillary Clinton. “If I win,” he warned, “I’m going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there’s never been so many lies, so much deception.” …
     “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Mrs. Clinton observed.
    “Because,” Mr. Trump replied “you’d be in jail.”
    This is not a Third World country where leaders incarcerate their predecessors and opponents on a whim. But we are a nation of laws and Hillary Clinton has broken many of them. Her only accomplishment in public office has been to so far avoid prosecution. President Trump should keep his promise to incarcerate this fugitive from justice. The voters have denied Hillary Clinton the presidency. A Trump Justice Department should deny Hillary Clinton her freedom.

    You voted for Hillary, if you did you committed a mortal sin.   She is a supporter of abortion and infanticide.
    You want to give a Hillary a free pass in her email treason selling our secrets and agents to the highest bidder.
    Comey should have been fired on the first day of the Trump Administration because of his cover ups of the
    Clinton crime syndicate and the evil doings of the Democratic Party.
    Poche, you are just plain disgusting.
    There was no Russian Collusion in the American 2016 Election and even Comey has confirmed this in his
    testimony before Congress.

  • The Russia Collusion BS story just keeps on going b/c the Ds are bent on destroying Trump any way they can. I have been telling people for yrs that the D party does not care about Americans, only cares about politics, about POWER (and getting it when they don't have it). If the Ds cared about US, We the People, they would try to work with Trump and get things done like he is trying to do. But they are serlish, narcissistic sociopaths. They make me sick. They are of the devil. A lot of people may not believe in the devil... think he is a construct of the unenlightened middle ages and all that... but there IS a Satan and he is the head of the DNC

    He said that at that time there was no evidence. His firing coincides with his seeing a need for more resources to do a proper investigation.

  • Comey is a member of the Deep State. Anyway, Comey would have been fired by Hilary if she was elected for
    opening the investigation in her emails and them closing it. And reopening the investigation and closing it before
    the November Elections.
    Comey has no experience as a cop, He  never had any experience of a FBI Agent.  he came from the board of the  Directors of the the NSBC Bank. Comey was a political appointment to serve the will of Obama.

  • President Donald Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey this week, in a move that has left more questions than answers.
    Only four years into his 10-year term, Mr Comey was leading the criminal investigation into whether Trump campaign advisers colluded with Russian operatives to influence the 2016 presidential election. While presidents have the authority to fire their FBI directors for any reason, Mr Comey is only the second FBI Director ever to be dismissed.

  • Mr. Poche,

    If you were alive in the 1960's and the 1970's you would certainly remember the CBS News Anchor Walter Cronkite.
    At that time there were three major stations on TV, ABC, CBS, and NBC.
    In the interview below Walter Cronkite said he was "Glad to sit at the Right Hand of Satan!".
    As it was back them and is now all the alphabet TV Stations have the same mentality and they will all admit
    that they are "Siting at the right hand of Satan".
    They are all guilty of Fake News and they are all in league in destroying this country and serving Jєωιѕн Power.
    You as a Catholic should know this, instead you follow them and their lying news and Defamation's.

    Comey & The Saturday Night Massacre
    Monday - May 15, 2017 at 6:11 pm

    This post was viewed 393 times.
    Votes: 5.00 Stars!By Patrick J. Buchanan
    History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce, said Marx.
    On publication day of my memoir of Richard Nixon’s White House, President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Instantly, the media cried “Nixonian,” comparing it to the 1973 Saturday Night Massacre.
    Yet, the differences are stark.
    The resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General Bill Ruckelshaus and the firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox came in the middle of an East-West crisis.
    On Oct. 6, 1973, the high holy day of Yom Kippur, in a surprise attack, Egyptian troops crossed the Suez Canal and breached Israel’s Bar Lev Line. Syria attacked on the Golan Heights.
    Within days, 1,000 Israeli soldiers were dead, hundreds of tanks destroyed, dozens of planes downed by Soviet surface-to-air missiles. As Egypt’s army broke through in the Sinai, there came reports that Moshe Dayan was arming Israeli F-4s with nuclear weapons.
    “This is the end of the Third Temple,” Dayan was quoted.
    Nixon ordered every U.S. transport that could fly to deliver tanks and planes to Israel. Gen. Ariel Sharon crossed the Canal to the west and rolled north to cut off and kill the Egyptian 3rd army in Sinai.
    The Gulf Arabs declared an oil embargo of the United States.
    We got reports that nuclear-capable Russian ships were moving through the Dardanelles and Soviet airborne divisions were moving to airfields. U.S. nuclear forces were put on heightened alert.
    On Oct. 10, another blow had befallen Nixon’s White House. Vice President Agnew pleaded nolo contendere to tax evasion and resigned.
    Nixon immediately named Gerald Ford to replace him.
    It was in this environment, with Henry Kissinger in Moscow trying to negotiate a ceasefire in the Mideast, that Cox refused to accept a compromise deal that would give him verified summaries of Nixon’s tapes, but not actual tapes. Democrat Senators Sam Ervin and John Stennis had accepted this compromise, as had Richardson, or so we believed.
    Nixon had no choice. As he told me, he could not, in this Cold War crisis, have Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev see him back down in the face of defiance by one of his own Cabinet appointees.
    If he had to, Nixon told me, he would reach down to a GS-7 at Justice to fire Cox: “We can’t have that viper sleeping in the bed with us.”
    That Saturday night, I told friends, next week will bring resolutions of impeachment in the House. And so it did.
    How do Nixon and Trump’s actions differ?
    Where Nixon decapitated his Justice Department and shut down the special prosecutor’s office, Trump simply fired an FBI director who agreed that Trump had every right to do so.
    By October 1973, with two dozen Nixon White House, Cabinet and campaign officers convicted or facing indictment and trial, we were steeped in the worst political scandal in U.S. history.
    Nothing comparable exists today.
    But if President Trump is enraged, he has every right to be.
    Since July, the FBI has been investigating alleged Trump campaign collusion with Putin’s Russia to hack the DNC and John Podesta’s email accounts — and produced zilch. As of January, ex-CIA Director Mike Morell and ex-DNI James Clapper said no collusion had been found.
    Yet every day we hear Democrats and the media bray about a Putin-Trump connection and Russian “control” of the president.
    In the early 1950s, they had a term for this. It was called McCarthyism, and its greatest practitioners invariably turned out to be those who had invented the term.
    “Justice delayed is justice denied!” applies to presidents, too.
    Trump has been under a cloud of a “Russian connection” to him and his campaign for nearly a year. Yet no hard evidence of Trump-Russia collusion in the election has been produced.
    Is not the endless airing of unproven allegations inherently un-American?
    In 1973, NBC’s John Chancellor suggested the ouster of Richardson, Ruckelshaus and Cox was the “most serious constitutional crisis” in U.S. history, passing over the secession of 11 Southern states and a cινιℓ ωαr that cost 620,000 lives. One London reporter said that “the whiff of the Gestapo was in the clear October air.”
    We see a similar hysteria rising today.
    Yet that was not a constitutional crisis then, and the mandated early retirement of Jim Comey is not a constitutional crisis now.
    And that the mainstream media are equating “Russia-gate” and Watergate tells you what is afoot.
    Trump is hated by this city, which gave him 4 percent of its votes, as much as Nixon was. And the deep-state determination to bring him down is as great as it was with Nixon.
    By 1968, the liberal establishment had lost the mandate it had held since 1933, but not lost its ability to wound and kill presidents.
    Though Nixon won 49 states, that establishment took him down. Though Ronald Reagan won 49 states, that establishment almost took him down in the Iran-Contra affair.
    And that is the end they have in mind for President Trump.

  • 1) Donald Trump contradicted his entire White House team
    The night Mr Trump fired Mr Comey, the White House said the president acted based on advice from Jeff Sessions and his deputy Rod Rosenstein. That night, Press Secretary Sean Spicer also told reporters: “It was all him,” meaning Mr Rosenstein. This was echoed by Mike Pence, who said Trump was acting on the Department of Justice recommendations.
    But on Thursday, Mr Trump told NBC that “regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey.’’
