It's hilarious because for 24 hours, they run with this nonsense like they found the golden egg.

Then, it collapses into nothing. Every time.

Deranged and unhinged lunacy spewing from liberals every day about fabricated rage from literally nothing.

Lol

FBI's acting director refutes White House claim that the FBI 'lost confidence' in Comey


In his Senate testimony today, Acting FBI Director McCabe flushed some White House/Huckabee Sanders spin down 'ol propaganda toilet.

Senators Richard Burr and Mark Warner left the Senate hearing early to meet with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and US Attorney Dana Boente in a Senate Secure Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). It is reported that Rosenstein has threatened to resign because he feels that he was used as political cover by Trump/Sessions in the firing of James Comey. Rosenstein maintains he never recommended that Comey be fired.

Insiders say that Trump went berserk and shouted obscenities after Comey answered a specific question during the public Senate Judiciary Committee hearing of 3 May. When asked what might have happened if he (Comey) hadn't publicly reopened the Clinton case on 28 October 2016 and then closed it again shortly thereafter, Comey replied; "It makes me mildly nauseous to think that we might have had some impact on the election." To Trump, this answer implied that Comey believed that Clinton could have won the presidency, and Trump thus viewed Comey's answer as an extreme public occurrence of [political] disloyalty.

So you want to help spread the meme that the Acting Director of the FBI is going to admit before the SIC the FBI was in turmoil and full of agents who had no confidence in it's Director?

You really think he would do that?

Sean Spicer missing from briefings during key week for Trump

Sean Spicer missing from briefings during key week for Trump | News OK

Published: May 11, 2017 6:56 PM CDT

"WASHINGTON (AP) — If you've been missing your daily dose of White House press secretary Sean Spicer, it's because President Donald Trump's chief spokesman has been serving the country in another way: He's been on Navy Reserve duty.

Spicer's commitment for monthly service occasionally pulls him away from his high-profile job as the public face of the Trump administration.

The obligation also kept Spicer away on Wednesday, one of the most important days of Trump's presidency: the day after Trump fired James Comey as FBI director. Trump dismissed Comey on Tuesday, which was the last day this week that Spicer briefed the White House press corps.

Deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has filled in during Spicer's absence, which renewed speculation that Trump was giving the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee a tryout with an eye toward possibly replacing Spicer with her.

A White House official denied that Spicer's job was in jeopardy, saying that using Sanders, 34, to cover Spicer's absence is part of a broader plan to give her some on-camera briefing experience because she is Spicer's chief deputy. The official requested anonymity to discuss internal White House planning.

Spicer was also on reserve duty last Thursday and Friday."

Really? You're complaining about one meeting while President Trump was bragging about how he called Comey twice to talk on the phone about whether Comey is investigating President Trump?

Argument from ignorance is a "fact" now?

I'm confused--are you suggesting that McCabe lied under oath today?

And I'm sorry if you don't see that former President Clinton put Loretta Lynch in a terrible position, but he did. I said at the time and say again now that this wasn't her fault.

That's the exact point I mentioned earlier too. Most liberals are unemployed and don't realize how the world of work operates. Even government work requires some common sense.

ModerateGOP said:
There is a very conservative wing of the FBI that has boiled up when the Clinton Investigation was going full speed ahead. Various leaks and ex-FBI agents went on talk radio to condemn Hillary right there and then. Many led listeners to believe that an indictment was coming any minute. They tried to paint Comey in a bad light and tried to paint the picture that most FBI agents were in this camp. It couldn't have been further from the truth.

Keep in mind, you can disagree with a decision your boss makes and still think he is a good boss. There are plenty of FBI agents who think Hillary should have been charged who also think Comey is a good boss.

And those people wouldn't have gone on the radio.
The thing is, it's becoming clear in right wing circles anyway that some people are just paid to say whatever people want them to. So those intelligence agents might not even really believe it, or might not have actually been intelligence agents in the first place.

No, i don't think that McCabe lied under oath, but i also don't think he disproved the earlier reporting that Comey requested resources from the DAG:

Absentglare said:
I saw McCabe's testimony where he acknowledged that requests for additional FBI resources are generally issued to congress. The problem i have is that i consider your implication, that it's impossible for the FBI to issue a request to the DAG for any resource (like, say, information), to be flawed.

The fact seems to be that McCabe doesn't know either way, he doesn't have actual knowledge of whether that report is true or false. What his response does suggest is that it is unlikely that the FBI required help from the DAG to acquire more funding or manpower, and also that it is highly unusual to ask for more resources specifically for a particular investigation.

Her presser from yesterday:

IOW, he was fired to put an end to the Russian probe. There are no two ways about it, including the quotes from Trump himself.

So you think this is an end to the investigation?

I doubt any cog in a wheel at the fbi will be affected...at all.

This looks like a classic misread with context difficulties. If any ACTUAL evidence of whatever shows up I will revisit the issue.

Not at all, you're just confused over the difference between 'funds' and 'resources':

Comey did not say he asked Justice for more money or FBI agents to expand the Russia investigation, as one official told NBC News Wednesday — and as was reported by the New York Times, the Washington Post and others. What Comey said he asked Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for, the officials said, was more attention, focus and labor hours from Justice Department prosecutors.

That is your opinion however your opinion is irrelevant since the investigation continues.

You are aware that the Trump campaign is currently being investigate by the FBI (which Comey headed) right? Because you talk as if you are completely unaware of that.

Certainly Comey pissed of the Democrats in November and Trump praised his courage. Then again, the Democrats praised him in July and Trump said the FBI was doing a cover up. So Trump flip flopped on Comey (at least) twice, but you seem to only think of accusing the Democrats of political convenience. Why is that?

wait you just said they didn't count as resources so now you are contradicting yourself.
it is obvious that resources can be anything that are used on the project from money to people to tools.
