Memos detail FBI’s ‘Hurry the F up pressure’ to probe Trump campaign

I'll be pointing and laughing at all the cons here who are dismayed now, but will be cheering then.

This practice itself....lets say i'd be surprised to find out Obama invented it.

My take away from that passage's inclusion in the context of the OP excerpt of John Solomon's editorial is that Solomon is piqued that FBI personnel moved with alacrity to uncover whatever evidence, information and details it could about Trump campaign team members' comportment vis-a-vis interactions with Russian state actors and cutouts. Solomon's beef on that grounds, and to the extent he describes in his editorial, is absurd because:
  • The FBI don't need to justify to the public the pace at which it conducts investigations.
  • Solomon doesn't even link to the memos he says contain "this and that."
Solomon continues citing several instances in which FBI personnel appear to have moved their discovery activities apace, and his readers are supposed to be outraged that they did. Really? Would he had rather the process been slowed and thus take longer? He even writes, "Were they concerned about losing a chance to gather evidence at a critical moment?" Well, likely, yes...pretty much any moment before someone thought and bothered to destroy evidence....They are, after all, from Trump on down, people who aren't known for their honesty and integrity, indeed their reputations are known to be the very opposite of such qualities.

Furthermore, Solomon insinuates that it's "extraordinary" that investigators working one arm of a large probe would exchange information with their colleagues working on a different piece of the project. Really? Sharing information within a team is "extraordinary" in Solomon's mind. I guess it's a good thing he's a writer and not a project manager.

I bid you read Solomon's editorial and put together from it a timeline of events that are corroborated by anything other than Solomon's claims/interpretation of documents he doesn't expose for any reader to corroborate. I can't wait to see what you come up with. It will likely be as incoherent as was his parting comment wherein he basically says the investigation wasn't driven, as has long been the party line, by the secret info in the Steele dossier, but rather by media leaks.



I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got.

Gowdy took two years on Benhgazi, now he can sit down and wait for the facts, just like the rest of us.

I'm not quite so cynical as you are, but I also don't wholly trust that the current DOJ/FBI are not trying to "save the institution" by stonewalling Congress.

I disagree about Trump. He shouldn't get anywhere near this. It would be a political disaster for him.

The U.S. Attorney IS a prosecutor. As I said, he has a grand jury, subpoena power and he can indict anybody. He is investigating. However, the DOJ OIG is the one conducting the internal investigations. There is more to this mess than what the FBI has done. This involves multiple Obama administration agencies. The U.S. Attorney can investigate ALL of it...and he can prosecute ALL of it.

The only thing that prevents me from joining you in calling for someone to poop or get off the pot (I won't characterize this as a "GOP" issue...this should concern EVERY American no matter what their Party.) is the massive complexity of this issue. Great care needs to be taken before indicting anyone...or the weasels will escape.

Fair enough. I don't want to ruin your optimism. I hope your right and I'm wrong.

That doesn't answer the question.

It never was about national security.

If they were acting honestly, they would have approached Trump and let him know that he had a problem.

Sally Yates did exactly that. Got fired for it, too.

After your horse died, you turned it into a gooey mess.

I can guarantee you there will be more indictments and guilty pleas for the Trump crowd.

But hey, enjoy Reversi World.
 
Mycroft said:
Stuff keeps dribbling out little by little. It's easy to spin, explain away and dismiss this stuff individually but when you look at the whole picture it's obvious that there was an evolving plan to "get Trump". So yeah...the anti-Trumpers around here will respond to every revelation and nobody will care. But keep in mind that there is someone out there who is collecting all of this evidence...someone who has subpoena power...someone with a grand jury behind him. He is quietly collecting information and evidence. He is a U.S. Attorney.

Of course, it won't be his decision who to go after...not solely. But don't be surprised when people from the Obama administration get indictments.

In the meantime, we have various committees in Congress looking at all this stuff. These guys won't be the ones to decide who to indict, either, but they are our...the public...best source of information. I hope they keep pressure on the FBI/DOJ.

You know what frosts my flakes Mycroft? Peter Strzok flunked his internal polygraph test in Jan. 2016 before Trump was sworn into office and his supervisors were notified. And at that time still kept his security clearance and lead roll in the Clinton Email investigation and the Trump campaign and transition team.

Good of you to ignore the substance of my post just so you can spout nonsense.

You basically said that in the next election, it will be all Trump people at the FBI, acknowledging that Trump will do what was done. You seemed pretty pleased about it. If you're not cheering, what are you doing?

Yates got fired because she was part of the problem...just like Comey was.

Yeah...she was "doing her job" when she signed off on that bogus FISA warrant application. She was "doing her job" when she refused to uphold an Executive Order and when she instructed her subordinates not to uphold it.

No...doing what SHE wants to do is not "doing her job". That's why she got fired.

So when one lie dies, trot out 3 more.

Deep State is BS.

And lies, of course.

So, you'll condone President Trump using the FBI against the Democrat party in 2020? Ok. We'll see.

I'm not condoning anything and I fully expect that he will.
