SpyGate: The Fallout Continues

Bill Priestap was FBI Agent Peter Strzok’s immediate boss. However, as noted in the text messages Strzok often worked around Priestap at the behest of the person giving him political instructions – FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

By going around his boss, Priestap, Strzok and Lisa Page did the man a favor. He still has his job. And as this was likely at the behest of McCabe maybe it tells us why they did so. Priestap is set to testify before the Senate.  A little more from https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/24/timing-chairman-goodlatte-and-chairman-gowdy-schedule-testimony-from-bill-priestap/

Bill Priestap will have specific knowledge of the events contained within the upcoming IG report on how the FBI and DOJ handled the Hillary Clinton investigation; and Priestap will have similar knowledge surrounding the still ongoing IG investigation on FISA abuse and the activities of those who participated in “SpyGate” against the Trump campaign.

And Jim Hoft at the Gateway, Giacalone resigned from the Hillary Clinton case and retired from the FBI because he felt the case was going “sideways”; that’s law enforcement jargon for “nowhere by design.”   Giacalone is expected to testify. It's a bet the agents are pissed. There were too many things happening that they felt were underhanded. Giacalone wasn't allowed to do a proper investigation.

The most damaging thing to The FBI would be to sweep this under the rug.  It appears that while some agents were bending the rules in pursuing Trump - Russia collusion others were hamstrung in pursuing questions about Clinton's home brew server.

Now Andrew McCarthy at National Review says we need take a better look at the George Papadopoulos case.  It paints what appears to be a total setup to plant information which can then be used to start an investigation.  McCarthy is right. With every new detail we can get caught up with the new bit of information. Most times I think we gain more context.

If the FBI was so concerned about Russian meddling then why did they not recover the DNC server? There seems to some inconsistencies and the answers seem obvious. Clinton entitlement. A foreign power having leverage on a candidate screams Clinton Foundation.  The FBI and DOJ has never shown much interest in that. Which is why I say we can't allow this to slide. As painful as it may be to these institutions the why of these inconsistencies must be looked into and addressed.  Like the sham email server in the Clinton wine cellar / massage parlor.

So what is the end? It must be brought to a conclusion which restores confidence in our premier law enforcement. We the people must be assured that the FISA courts will no longer rubber stamp requests for warrants against American citizens with evidence so flimsy as appears to have been used against the Trump campaign. Going forward the goal should be to restore faith in our system.

Friends if my prose is a bit off it's because there's much on my mind.  I've been struggling. I'm out of work and have been for two months. I've begun to consider I might never return to my profession. I started a GoFundMe page to deal with the loss of income and cost of medical treatment.  If I can get anywhere near my goal I think it's time to seek disability or transition. You can donate as little as five dollars and just as importantly, share my story with your network of friends. Help an American and you help America.
