Fun fact. According to a Government Accountability Office report, two of Donnie Dotard's golf trips to South Florida cost the equivalent of what Mueller has currently spent.

Cool. The president has accomplished 1,000 times more.
Heck he saved the taxpayers billions on wasteful spending and regulations. Mueller team hasn't done anything of value really.

It's funny, like the president is suppose to stay locked in him home and place of work, and not go anywhere to relax and have personal time away like all working people do.

Congress making referrals is great, but remember: the Sessions/Horowitz/Huber plan is to unveil the evidence to the Congress, *the public* and *the media* before the indictments are unsealed.

Sessions' strategy is to neutralize the media and Dems ability to have any role in obstructing justice. He's overturned the old approach, where the bad guys had a say. When the hammer falls, the public will know what's gone on and will demand action.

I have a friend who is a straight guy that runs those extreme obstacle course races and wins them. Takes great care of himself. For the last 6 years he's worked at a gay pool bar. He works 4 shifts per week and takes home about 3k per week. He's got work in a Speedo with no shirt, but that is some serious coin. In his spare time he's started buying houses for flips or rental. He currently has an inventory of 14 houses. He thinks when he gets to 20 he'll hang up the speedo.

Sure he is.

11 House Republicans call for prosecutions of Clinton, Comey, Lynch, and others


The authoritarianism is coming from inside the House.

By Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesiasmatt@vox.com Apr 18, 2018, 12:20pm EDT

Eleven House Republicans — Ron DeSantis, Andy Biggs, Dave Brat, Jeff Duncan, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Andy Harris, Jody Hice, Todd Rokita, Claudia Tenney, and Ted Yoho — have signed a joint letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling for the criminal prosecution of Hillary Clinton and a variety of other Obama administration appointees, career FBI officials, and even Trump appointee Dana Boente, who is currently the FBI’s general counsel.

The lead of the letter states that the authors are “especially mindful of the dissimilar degrees of zealousness that has marked the investigations into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, respectively.”

Clinton was, of course, extensively investigated by multiple committees of the US Congress as well as the FBI. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy went so far as to concede at one point that the only actual purpose of the Clinton investigations was to hurt her poll numbers, and though the FBI’s investigations exonerated Clinton, then-FBI Director James Comey offered, against DOJ guidelines, multiple instances of public commentary on her conduct that ultimately hurt her campaign.

Nonetheless, House Republicans suggest that she should be prosecuted on the theory that because the Steele dossier was paid for in part by a lawyer who worked for the Clinton campaign, the campaign was “disguising payments to Fusion GPS” in a way that violated federal campaign finance law.

But the issue here, to be clear, is not a particular zeal for campaign finance law. It’s a broad request that the full force of the US government be brought to bear against Trump’s political enemies. They want prosecutions of not just Clinton but also:

  • Former FBI Director James Comey (for what they allege to be a politically motivated failure to prosecute Clinton, as well as for the allegedly illegal act of leaking his own notes to a friend)
  • Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe (for the same “lack of candor” that was already the pretext for taking away his pension)
  • Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch (for not prosecuting the Uranium One deal)
  • FBI agent Peter Strzok and DOJ lawyer Lisa Page (for allegedly interfering with the Clinton email investigation)
  • Separately, it calls for prosecution of “all DOJ and FBI personnel responsible for signing the Carter Page warrant application,” which is Comey and McCabe plus former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates plus former US attorney (and current FBI general counsel) Dana Boente for allegedly violating Page’s civil liberties.
The point here is almost certainly not to generate any actual prosecutions so much as it is to try to muddy the waters in the media — creating a two-sided battle between and his “deep state” enemies rather than the reality that the Trump investigation has been led almost entirely by Republicans and career civil servants.

But it’s also an important signpost of where we stand in terms of Trump’s relationship to the congressional Republican Party. On policy issues, Trump has largely adopted Paul Ryan’s views. In exchange, mainstream GOP leaders like Mitch McConnell are shutting down legislation that would stop Trump from firing Robert Mueller, while fringier figures like the signatories to Trump’s letter are urging him to go further and mount politically motivated prosecutions of the opposition party.

"Cardinal" Comey memos...


[twitter]987146899403759616[/twitter]



Press Releases
Nunes, Gowdy, Goodlatte Statement on Comey Memos:
Washington, April 19, 2018

Washington, D.C. – Today House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Ca.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) issued the following statement:

"We have long argued former Director Comey's self-styled memos should be in the public domain, subject to any classification redactions. These memos are significant for both what is in them and what is not.

Former Director Comey's memos show the President made clear he wanted allegations of collusion, coordination, and conspiracy between his campaign and Russia fully investigated. The memos also made clear the ‘cloud’ President Trump wanted lifted was not the Russian interference in the 2016 election cloud, rather it was the salacious, unsubstantiated allegations related to personal conduct leveled in the dossier.

The memos also show former Director Comey never wrote that he felt obstructed or threatened. While former Director Comey went to great lengths to set dining room scenes, discuss height requirements, describe the multiple times he felt complimented, and myriad other extraneous facts, he never once mentioned the most relevant fact of all, which was whether he felt obstructed in his investigation.

The memos also make certain what has become increasingly clear of late: former Director Comey has at least two different standards in his interactions with others.He chose not to memorialize conversations with President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, Secretary Clinton, Andrew McCabe or others, but he immediately began to memorialize conversations with President Trump. It is significant former Director Comey made no effort to memorialize conversations with former Attorney General Lynch despite concerns apparently significant enough to warrant his unprecedented appropriation of the charging decision away from her and the Department of Justice in July of 2016.

These memos also lay bare the notion that former Director Comey is not motivated by animus. He was willing to work for someone he deemed morally unsuited for office, capable of lying, requiring of personal loyalty, worthy of impeachment, and sharing the traits of a mob boss. Former Director Comey was willing to overlook all of the aforementioned characteristics in order to keep his job. In his eyes, the real crime was his own firing.

The memos show Comey was blind to biases within the FBI and had terrible judgment with respect to his deputy Andrew McCabe. On multiple occasions he, in his own words, defended the character of McCabe after President Trump questioned McCabe.

Finally, former Director Comey leaked at least one of these memos for the stated purpose of spurring the appointment of Special Counsel, yet he took no steps to spur the appointment of Special Counsel when he had significant concerns about the objectivity of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

As we have consistently said, rather than making a criminal case for obstruction or interference with an ongoing investigation, these memos would be Defense Exhibit A should such a charge be made."

No dumazz. They are withholding documents and texts to avoid criminal implications.

It's coming out one way or another. DNC lawsuit will backfire on them.

They are withholding documents and going into the 4 corner offense to try to make it past the midterms. That way , if the Dems are in control, they can get the investigations dropped. The mid-terms are extremely important this time.

Hmm, maybe Comey is smarter than he seems:

Judge Nap: It Does Not Appear James Comey Broke the Law With Memo Leak | Fox News Insider

I respectfully disagree with Judge Nap thus far. I put a post in the amateur hour thread on this. Access to classified requires a clearance as well as need to know. Let’s see the trail in Richmans clearance and what was his need to know?

Additionally Comey said the memos were again his private documents. The DOJ has already disproven that assertion.

Nothing new on that piece. Comey broke the law and the evidence is in the public domain now.

So idiot the way it works with these documents is that their veracity is validated. They have been neither validated nor discredited yet. They absolutely should have been validated beyond question to use as the basis for a FISA warrant. Not “ well they used them for the warrant so they must be valid” weak ass arguments.
