UNLEASH THE MEMO!!

Enough with that stuff

quote:

I’m just hoping to live long enough to see these #$&€}>% memos!

You will, and the sight of the swamp draining too!

Get ready:

House Intel votes to release controversial surveillance memo to the public

quote:

The vote was announced to reporters by California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee, who called it a “very sad day, I think, in the history of this committee.” The motion passed on a party-line basis, he said

Fuck you, you disgusting apparatchik. Daddy must have been a glassblower, son, because you are transparent. You're fooling no one.

a repeat seems appropriate

From the Trump Thread- "one of the two FBI agents who interviewed Flynn was Peter Strzok. Strozks hands are in everything?

Trey Gowdy on FoxNews this morning, speaking of the soon to be released FISA memo:

"My Democratic colleagues did not want us to find this information. They did everything they could to keep us from finding this information, so of course they don't want us to share it."

and...

"I think it will be embarrassing to Adam Schiff once people realize the extent to which he went to keep (the public) from learning any of this." (referring to Schiff's efforts in court to block release of GPS Fusion info)

That is pretty telling. Congressmen go to great lengths to avoid public criticism of each other, usually.

He’s probably mistaken to worry about embarrassment, though. God Damn Commies are oblivious to embarrassment, shame, etc. It’s worth it to be in the resistance.

It was comical to hear Schiff explain how terrible it is to release the memo. What are they trying to hide? We have a right to know.

The video in the other thread features a NY Congressman revealing that the memo prepared by the Dems that the Dems insisted had to be released, was not made available to the Republicans on the committee to read before voting. IOW, nobody had read the memo but the authors and they demanded its release, unread.

Can they be serious?

Rats abandon the ship when it's going down. Will the Dems ride this to the bottom?

Rats are smarter than that, but Democrats, I'm not so sure.

They purposefully wanted it voted down. It is an attempted manipulation of the media. This spawns the narrative that only half of the story is being told. It gives the leftists talking points.

^^^^
Bingo. Everything is calculated. I will agree with Goudy on one thing he said today, and that is that politics is no longer about serving, it is about winning and making the other side look bad.

The ease at which the democrats like Schiff and Pelosi can stand in front of an audience and just flat out lie is astounding. It gets said alot but they really do not care about anyone but themselves and the power they can accumulate.

Pelosi speaks to the brain-dead voters. Her comment on the White House immigration plan shows how insane this woman is.

I have a friend that is somewhat familiar with the justice dept. He says that some of the FBI higher echelon folks were not promoted through the ranks. They were never street agents, did not go through agent training etc, but were political appointees. Is this true? I can see the need to hire auxillery people with special skills that are not going to be agents such as IS, secys, lab techs, crime scene techs, file clerks, accountants and maybe lawyers. I don’t see how any of them should hold exectutive positions in investigative areas with any authority over a real law enforcement trained agent. Can anyone clarify? Is it true that some of the “executive” level persons are not trained agents?

That may be.

Look at the various training schools. http://www.criminaljusticescho...-agent-training.html

I doubt Director Wray went to FBI school.

McCabe likely did.

quote:

McCabe began his FBI career in the New York Field Office[8] in 1996.[10] While there, he was on the SWAT team.[11] In 2003, he began work as a supervisory special agent at the Eurasian Organized Crime Task Force.[12] Later, McCabe held management positions in the FBI Counterterrorism Division,[8] the FBI National Security Branch[13] and the FBI's Washington Field Office

Most of the Assistant Directors and Deputies appear to have.

Here is a list of the top positions at the FBI, some with links to a short bio of those holding them. Putting names into Google can give you more info about those who don't have official bios on the FBI site.

Seems common for high-level political appointees at the DoJ to end up in FBI management. The last three directors (Mueller, Comey, and Wray) made their names at DoJ before being picked.

Division heads (e.g. counterintelligence, criminal investigations) appear to mostly be career FBI.

James Comey was never an FBI agent.

In 2002, Comey’s career took a major step forward with his appointment to the post of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. His brief time there was marked by his prosecution of Martha Stewart over insider trading, resulting in prison time for the famed media personality.

Named deputy to U.S. attorney general John Ashcroft in 2003, Comey was involved in a showdown with top members of the George W. Bush administration after Ashcroft was hospitalized the following spring. As he later recalled in a Senate testimony, Comey raced to the hospital to head off White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and chief of staff Andrew Card, who allegedly wanted Ashcroft to reauthorize an illegal domestic surveillance program. With the imposing Comey at his side, a weakened Ashcroft made it clear he would not grant his approval.

In 2005, Comey left his government position to become senior vice president and general counsel at Lockheed Martin Corp. Five years later, he joined the Connecticut-based investment company Bridgewater Associates as counsel.

In June 2013, President Barack Obama nominated James Comey to succeed Robert Mueller as FBI Director.
