WRONG

Can I obtain detailed information about a current FBI investigation that I see in the news?

No. Such information is protected from public disclosure, in accordance with current law and Department of Justice and FBI policy. This policy preserves the integrity of the investigation and the privacy of individuals involved in the investigation prior to any public charging for violations of the law. It also serves to protect the rights of people not yet charged with a crime.

You have Flynn’s lawyer as the source, not much of a official channel.

Show us the text of The Constitution that gives Congress unlimited oversight authority.

Oh so now you only want exact information? Durham can easily state it is no longer a review snd has become a criminal investigation. The FBI wont confirm or deny but the usual leaks to confirm happen.

Just admit none of us know and you are just hoping you are right.

Let's see....Brennan Clapper seem agitated over "review"

Comey McCabe Strzok have been fired over actions in RussiaGate and you want me to admit I'm just hoping?

Sadly I do not think much will come from it. Barr is trying to placate Trump. Flynn’s lawyer appears to be trying to sell books and is seeking any and all attention she can gather. Flynn will be sentenced and every now and then Barr will say the review is on-going, like a ship in the night without a port.

And yet, you have an absolute hard-on for what you think it is going to reveal. Which is odd, since you just admitted there is no info to support your feelings, other than that tingle down your leg.

So, only Trump and associates can be "agitated" over a review? If being agitated over a review is cause to speculate on improper activities, then your namesake is ****ing skee-roooed.

Comey was relieved From his appointment, Rosensteins letter only mentioned the Clinton investigation, not Russiagate
McCabe was fired for lying about a leak, this leak was during the Clinton server investigation, nothing to do with Russiagate.
Strzok was fired for conduct unbecoming, nothing to with the Russiagate investigation.

I fully support your rights to be religious - I will march with you in arms to defend it.

I do NOT defend using the AG office to give seditious speeches that paint secular americans as enemies that are destroying the country.

FFS you guys are IMPOSSIBLE.

I'm assaulting the AG stoking the flames of radical hatred, sedition and civil war. He is literally blaming half the country for destroying his christian view of our nation.

Replace christian with Muslim and you would be here doing the same I am.

And trump admitted his seditious, traitorous behavior, Mulveney confirmed the quid pro quo.

This president has shattered this nation. The only salve would be the GOP slapping their seditious constituency across the mouth like the petulent children they are and OUSTING him.
 
As President Trump amplifies unsubstantiated claims of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed on Tuesday that Russian operatives engaged in a widespread social media campaign to improve his chances in the race.

In a report, the committee backed up the conclusions of the intelligence community, the special counsel and researchers that Russia mounted a broad campaign to interfere in the election. A Russian troll farm central to the election campaign supported “Donald Trump at the direction of the Kremlin,” the committee said.

I already linked the goddamned quote, you can read it yourself.

Compare the speeches of demagogues like Barr and Trump with a real leader, like Bernie Sanders; who speaks of hope, unity, fighting for each other, community, caring for each other.

One spreads sedition and hatred. The other love and unity.

I have no tolerance for the seditious and bigoted.

Nah, I think the joke, as I took it anyway, is that it is funny to use a phrase that Obama used about Holder as his AG.
Which wasn't funny then, and isn't funny now.
That said, if what Holder did during Fast And Furious was as bad as Republicans said it was, it was their duty then, to impeach Holder. But they didn't.
And I kind of wish that the Democrats had the spine to put their money where their mouth is in regards to Barr.

Everybody is in "terra incognita" right now.

We have never had an outlaw president with a crony AG and senate before.

I am.pretty sure that peloai finally started the impeachment procedure not because of the Ukraine call but the "**** you" from the administration that accompanied it.

Durham by all accounts is what the Trump Administration would call a “Deep Stater”. Durham reminds me of Gen Mattis, AG Sessions or Gen Kelly, how diid work out?

Get used to Mattis and McRaven because they're your ringleaders as it were.

Add the retired Army Gen. McCaffrey and you're got your trio. In Soviet Russia they call it a troika. In USA we can call 'em together the Constitutionalists.

That is, they take seriously and profoundly their oath to the Constitution. All of 'em do, the generals, admirals, colonels, captains and so on through the ranks. The oath is to the Constitution, not to any one person or official no matter who.

Trump btw did not revoke the security clearance of the admiral who commanded the armed forces SOF Command and the bin Laden kill. Still, the generals and admirals on down the chain of command know what's going on.


Adm. McRaven: Revoke My Security Clearance Too

Retired Adm. William McRaven called President Donald Trump's leadership an embarrassment to the nation Thursday while defending the integrity of former CIA Director John Brennan in an open letter to the president that is being published as an op-ed by The Washington Post.

Trump's action Wednesday in stripping Brennan of his security clearance demeaned "one of the finest public servants I have ever known," McRaven wrote.

"Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John," he continued in a rare rebuke of a sitting commander-in-chief by a retired four-star.

"Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency," he added.

Michael McFaul who is currently a Hoover Institute fellow at Stanford was US ambassador to Russia who had Putin's number on his every move. When McFaul who is also a former member of the National Security Council left Russia Putin banned him from the ****hole country for life.

However, after Helsinki and the closed secret meeting between Putin and his pet Trump, when Putin told Trump to give him McFaul for questioning, Trump said he'd consider it. Trump got blowback in the USA against it however that killed the possibility Trump said he was considering.


Outrage erupts over Trump-Putin ‘conversation’ about letting Russia interrogate ex-U.S. diplomat Michael McFaul

Allowing such questioning of Americans, particularly of a former ambassador who had diplomatic protections while in Moscow, would be an extraordinary move on the part of the Trump administration, experts and officials said.

“The entire country should be aware of this,” tweeted Tom Nichols, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College and the Harvard Extension School. “If Putin can single out” McFaul, Nichols said, “he can single out anyone. The President’s job is to protect us, not to even consider handing any of us over to an enemy government.”

Now things are worse to include for Brennan and Clapper. They'll get worse yet. This is guaranteed because the worse Putin-Trump make things the worse Trump gets. Because Trump has no bottom however he's going to have to be bottomed out. As in out. As Gen. McCaffrey retired said the other day, Trump does nothing except take a "blowtorch" to the US national security. This will not stand.

Barr, being Trump's personal attorney will come up with something to satisfy Trump's desire to make it someone other than his friend Putin who interfered with the 2016 election and started the Mueller probe. Most American's will believe nothing that comes out of this "investigation".

You mean sort of like how most Americans didn't believe what came from the Democrat's collusion delusion or will believe what comes from Schiff's Stalinist styled, secret impeachment inquiry?
