FBI ‘protection’ of Trump in 2016 is a laugh

5/23/18

Talk about ungrateful — for some reason President Trump doesn’t appreciate how the FBI tried to help him out in 2016 by inserting a spy, I mean informant, into his campaign.

As the Washington Post headline explained this charitable deed: “The FBI didn’t use an informant to go after Trump. They used one to protect him.”

Of course they did. The crooked G-men are there to protect you, Mr. President. I should know, because they’ve been “protecting” me, off and on, since 1975. And they’re such good people — the feds prefer to remain anonymous. They want no credit for their charitable deeds.

After the first time they visited me, unannounced, on deadline, in the city room of the newspaper I worked for, the feds filed a report saying they hadn’t confronted me. Then, for 20 years, the bent G-men claimed they hadn’t written a report about the visit, er, non-visit, until it turned up on the bureau’s own website as part of a file on their improper and illegal COINTELPRO activities during the 1970s.

And now, after basically denying that they were snooping on Trump, the corrupt FBI is admitting that they did it — but they did it for all the right reasons. Right?

“He should be glad to know,” a former FBI agent writes in the Post, “that the FBI appears to have been trying to thwart a hostile country’s efforts to infiltrate his campaign.”

The New York Times agreed: “FBI Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims.”

Oddly, they forgot to protect the Hillary campaign in the same generous fashion, even though the wife of Andrew McCabe, the bureau’s No. 2 in more ways than one, took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Hillary’s cronies.

See, the Russian collusion represented “a grave national security threat,” the Post said, or it would have, except it was total nonsense, made up by paid agents of the Hillary Clinton campaign. But to gin up fake evidence, Hillary’s operatives in the Justice Department dispatched an obese septuagenarian with a nose like a pickle to infiltrate the Trump campaign.

This same Washington Post told us Thursday night that the man with a nose like a pickle could not be identified because it “could endanger him … exposing him could have severe consequences … the stakes are so high.”

That was last Friday. Monday night the Post named him. His name is Stefan Halper. No one has murdered him — yet. So much for the “severe consequences.”

For his work, Halper was paid at least $400,000 in public funds. What were he and the feds doing, you ask, other than not “spying”? New York magazine says the corrupt cops just “tried to ferret out” information. Slate calls the FBI’s oppo research on behalf of the Democrats an “inquiry.” The Post on occasion has used the verb “eavesdrop.”

Bottom line, the Famous But Incompetent FBI was trying to go KGB, but as always, they were more like the Keystone Kops.

The Post harrumphs that there will be “devastating consequences” if the FBI ever has to explain why it decided to begin violating the First Amendment rights of the GOP (but not the Democrats). Devastating consequences indeed. An indictment is always a disappointment, as those of us who have been under protection by the FBI like to say.

In the Post, the former agent explained how the FBI would have liked to have told Trump that Pickle Nose was there to protect him from the Russians.

But the problem was, if, God forbid, news had leaked out about their selfless public service on his behalf, “the Justice Department would not have been able to reveal publicly that the purpose of the investigation was to counter Russia, not target the campaign itself.”

Because the Democrats in the FBI and the CIA would never, ever leak anything to hurt Donald Trump. You know, like the stories about, say, the golden showers, or Michael Cohen’s visit to Prague, or the $11 billion bribe the Russians offered Carter Page — none of which were true, but hey, when did that ever stop CNN?

By the way, a couple of weeks ago, The Washington Post and the Times won Pulitzer Prizes for their, uh, dogged pursuit of … Russian … something or other. Maybe someday we’ll be able to come up with one word to describe how the FBI went banana republic in 2016-17.

Maybe we can call it … Obamagate.

 

Damn... You're trying way too hard. Just because you can repeat the ravings of a numbskull and his supporters doesn't mean that you should.

Hush....an alias

 

I like to think that its a bad way to get some more pay checks and drain the government. Only the politicians want a new scandal .Thanks

 

and guess what assholes?? we are still fucking laughing

 

I like to see a few more pictures of the beautiful women who have spent a few hours of fun with the women of politics.

 

Yeah, I think we'll continue repating the ravings and rantings of the numbskull and his supporters....because it's more fun to watch you get all scrambled over it.

 

Same....pretty much like watching someone drowning grasping at branches to get out of the river that arent quite big enough....

 

Then you'll love this.

James Clapper denies FBI was spying on Trump team, then says it was a good thing they were doing so

Obama's former DNI Chief James Clapper said Thursday evening on CNN it's a good thing the Deep State FBI was spying on Trump's camp.

Now of course this is after he initially denied the Intelligence Community was spying on Donald Trump.

The Deep State liars have gone from denial to celebrating the illegal spying.

While speaking to Clapper, CNN's Don Lemon referenced the NY Times article which revealed the FBI embedded at least one spy in Trump's camp during the 2016 election.

Clapper the leaker immediately went into spin mode and brought up those pesky Russians.

"They may have had someone who was talking to them in the campaign, but, you know, the focus here is not on the campaign, per se, but what the Russians were doing," Clapper said.

Right, the Russians were the focus, not American citizens...

Clapper then said it's a good thing if the FBI had someone observing the Trump's campaigns interaction with the Russians because the "Russians posed a threat to the very basis of our political system."

WRONG. Obama's corrupt and criminal operatives seeking to overthrow a duly elected President was and is the biggest threat we face in regards to our political system.

The FBI, CIA, DOJ and other intel agencies were weaponized under Obama.

So now they're admitting they spied and it's a good thing.

 

The river is getting deeper amd the branches are getting smaller!
How long before the house of cards fall?

 

It really is unbelievable with all of these new revelations coming out these liberals are still in denial. They believe a politician straight from the Chicago "machine" could never be corrupt. If that doesn't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt these people haven't a clue about how the real world works outside of their little fantasy bubble, nothing does.

It's not a coincidence most of these libs are aspiring fantasy porn story writers.

 

Nah....it's not unbelievable at all, it's actually liberalism at its core.

When a liberal denies...you know it's the truth.

 

Do you really think they believe what they are told by their handlers or are they just trying to save face? Where will they go when all this blows up in their face. Talk about looking like a fool...they will really look stupid. Of course, no one ever accused a lib of being the sharpest tack in the box...

 

Yes, I really do believe that they believe it.

Liberals have no shame, they dont care if it makes them the fool...and, they will just move to the next manufactured crisis.

Yeah, I think we'll continue repeating the ravings and rantings of the numbskull and his supporters....because it's more fun to watch you get all scrambled over it.

See my point?

 

Lol! Overthrow? Got proof? Where is the proof he tried to overthrow anything?

Just paranoid ramblings of someone trying to deflect from the most corrupt administration in modern history.

 

Write 1,000,000x "It's a conspiracy! They're ALL out to get me!" on your wall of choice, and maybe it will come true

Until it does though, you're just a nutcase.

Hush....an alias

 

Well no this is just a blatant lie. Here's exactly what Trump said.

Trump tweet--Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!​

Which has been proven just a delusional lie that all members of Trumps own intelligence community have testified before congress did not happen.

And since the FBI has been using informants to investigate Russian spies since the 1930's there is sure nothing nefarious or even suspicious about using an informant to investigate the multiple contacts between members of Trump's campaign and Russian intelligence after multiple foreign intelligence agencies had officially told US intelligence that were seeing a lot of very suspicious activity between members of the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence. And that is what started the Trump/Russian investigation. Not the Steele Dossier. The dossier just backed up what US intelligence was already hearing from their counter parts all over the world.

And notice how he managed to get every story that is being pushed by the right wing PR shops that are trying to flood the internet with. Really uncanny how he can consistently do that isn't it?

 

Why Trump is lying about former DNI James Clapper

 

FBI must come clean on spy in Trump camp

5/24/18



It’s all of a sudden OK, at least in the eyes of The New York Times and other guardians of progressive bias, for an administration to spy on a political campaign. You can thereby stop Russia from doing its thing of electoral interference, they emphasize. Less on their lips is the chance of crooked allegations and turning our republic upside down.

What we’re talking about specifically here is the revelation that, in the 2016 presidential campaign, we had this American professor over in England who was on the FBI payroll to the tune of more than $1 million over a period of time. Part of his job, it seems, was to query campaign aides in the Donald Trump campaign. He did not exactly announce his role as he would befriend them and cleverly try to find out whether, just maybe, they were colluding with the Russian government.



Was any of this legal or within the bounds of protocol? Some kinds of investigation possibly could be, after all. But this looks an awful lot like it wasn’t, and it was something that has never happened before as far as anyone knows.

If you’ve got an administration in the Democratic camp digging around in the campaign of someone in the Republican camp, or vice versa, you are pretty much imitating what totalitarian states do all the time and you are edging us in that direction. What we have here is something very scary. But wait. It gets scarier.

Wall Street Journal columnist Kim Strassel started picking up and sharing tidbits about what had gone on, and then came stories from a variety of papers while Congress was trying desperately to find out more. The FBI said nothing doing. It told Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee to mind their own business, which they were doing, and so did some Democratic members, and the only thing wrong with that was everything.

We have what’s called a checks-and-balances system in this country. The idea is to keep any one agency or branch of government responsible, answerable and within the law for the sake of a living republic, and one way this is achieved is in the oversight duties of Congress. The FBI had no right to say no, and its excuse was as flimsy as a feather in a hurricane. It said it could risk the life of the spy if his name were revealed. The thing is, his identity had been made clear in stories in the Times and elsewhere and his name is now all over the internet.

President Trump then got involved, turning to an unsurprisingly klutzy tweet as his way of carrying out his duties and then being told his wishes for an investigation were tyrannical, or something like that. His critics are almost always worse than Trump is, which is no easy thing.

Anyway, he ended up having a meeting with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein and came to an agreement. Committee leaders would get to review classified material in a special meeting and the Justice Department’s inspector general would look into everything, more or less a touch of what’s needed.

Look, we need the whole shebang to be made public. Of course, it could turn out that the spying was wholly legitimate, but the context is there are so many currently trying so vehemently to get rid of a duly elected president on grounds that are often highly suspicious. Countering my nervous outlook is the Times, which, as one example, told us in a headline, “F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims.” The way I see it, the Times is not editorializing in a straight news story, just putting forth an opinion.
