The Steele dossier // p169 Durham Report: FBI Should Never Have Begun ‘Russia Collusion’ Investigation
Not "new" news, just a reminder -
Rod Rosenstein's resignation is effective Saturday.
What a strange legacy he will have. I don't think we know yet exactly what it will be.

The viability of the democrat party may hinge on their and the sycophantic media ability to sell the spying as justified surveillance due to the Russian! threat. Their base has a history as highly dupable, they'll likely buy it.

I think they had a going away party in the white house today.

Bad. 1. He chose Mueller for Special Council. 2. He gave Mueller far too long a leash.
Serious about crackers.

Didn't he also sign off on the FISA warrants?

And recommended Wray for FBI (because he knew he could control him).

Renewals, 1 or 2, yes. Comey signed the origination.

A Never Trumper who was a participant in the failed coup. When he finally realized that the plot wasn't going to work and that he was in over his head, he cut a deal which included resigning immediately after the conclusion of the Mueller hit job. He was made to stand and face the public when they announced that there was no crime. I'm sure they're not finished with him yet.

Trump discusses Rosenstein's wire tap comment here at 7:02 - almost the end of the interview.
He suggests news reporters should inquire about it. ............................................ President Trump sits down with Catherine Herridge for a wide-ranging interview >>>> https://video.foxnews.com/v/60...22001/#sp=show-clips

Comey is asked about the claim of spying on the Trump campaign.
He says the FBI conducts electronic surveillance by getting warrants from federal judges based on probable cause.
We know the FBI lied in the FISA warrant applications and deceived the FISA court. We know some of the "probable cause" evidence was never verified at even the most basic level
Then Anderson Cooper asks about sending someone to meet undercover w Papadopoulos. That is an extreme step, no?
Comey: No. It is reasonable (breaks off). Comey says the Australians said Papadopoulos talked to the Russians.
It has never been documented what Papadopoulos said to Alexander Downer. That is in dispute. Joseph Mifsud is not a Russian. It has not been established that Mifsud was working for the Russians. It is suspected that Mifsud may actually be working for the FBI/CIA or Italian intel offices
Comey's justification is riddled w holes
Comey: It is a totally normal step to get someone close to the person and see if they confirm what they heard from the Australians
Why not talk directly to Mifsud? Mueller said Mifsud denied having any advanced knowledge
"Totally normal" to spy on the opposition party campaign workers.
"Totally normal"
Cooper asks about the "peeing tapes". Nothing in the Mueller report confirmed those tapes exist. Do you regret your earlier comments that left their existence an open question ?
Comey: No. My answer is the same today. Any other leader, I would say that is preposterous There is a footnote in the Mueller report w an oblique reference to these tapes where someone in Russia said they "stopped the flow of the tapes" . Mueller seems to connect it in some way to that allegation.
Another typical example of how the Mueller report was cherry picked info pulled out of all context. The person quoted about "stopping the flow" also said he was very doubtful any such tapes exist.
Cooper: Do you think the Russians have leverage over President Trump?
Comey: I don't know the answer to that
Cooper: Do you think it is possible?
Comey : Yes

Comey is going to have some real shell-shock when he is indicted.

And after Comey, there is still plenty of weed-pulling to do at the FBI.

This is a great example of the questioning which I think proves that the entire thing was scripted.

Funny that Comey seems to get away with suggesting that the FBI and other intelligence agencies are effectively incompetent, or corrupt. I mean seriously, after two years of investigating the story, no evidence found, yet it is still possible that they missed something.....
