Memo is out

[Jim in CT]

In testimony before Congress, fbi director Comey called the dossier salacious and unverified. Those are his words. Yet he signed off using it to help obtain FISA warrants against a presidential campaign. The salacious and unverified dossier was prepared by a company that employed the wife of the deputy attorney general.

Nothing concerning there? Nothing at all?

I think you're forgetting he was under surveillance before the Dossier.

In the end, they gave Trump a huge gift by doing this. They're probably all racing each other to get into the witness protection program to hide from Trump.

I can just see these reptiles making the political calculation, that she was going to win, and if they helped kick her ball onto the fairway during the campaign, surely she would re-pay them for that once she was in power.

Boy did they bet on the wrong horse. I almost can't think of a scenario where you could screw yourself more royally. I would love to see the expressions on these people's faces from election night as the results came in, I'm surprised they didn't all drink the Jonestown Kool Aid.

Comey will go down as one of the biggest weasels of all time.

You have the deputy AG whose wife worked at Fusion GPS. You have the deputy head of the FBI whose wife took a jillion dollars in campaign contributions from the democrats. You have Loretta Lynch meting with Bill Clinton alone on a jet while his wife was supposedly being investigated. You have texts between two liberal FBI agents sleeping with each other, determined to everything they can to ensure a Hilary victory.

All of these political appointees assumed (like I did) that Hilary was going to win, and they likely all wanted to get on her good side by helping her out. They went all-in on a Hilary victory, and figured they had nothing to lose. Well she lost. And she didn't lose to a gracious person like Bush or Romney, she lost to a guy who is about as vindictive as they come.

These liberals who stuck their necks out for Hilary, must be sh*tting their pants worried about what the hell Trump is going to do. And they would be right to be sh*tting their pants. It's sounds very cliché, but they messed with the wrong guy, man did they mess with the wrong guy.

His strategists must be salivating at putting together the schedule of public floggings, all leading up to the fall midterms. If he plays his cards right, he can really help the GOIP with this in swing states.

This is a guy who truly gets his rocks off by sticking it to his adversaries. I cannot imagine the reckoning that awaits some of these people. They bet big. They lost big.

There's an old military expression, "when you kick a tiger in the azz, you better have a plan for dealing with his teeth". Here come the fangs.

Spence, pay attention, Scott asked what has Page been charged with or arrested for. The locution "charged with" implies a wrongdoing by whomever is being "charged." "Being recruited," your locution, implies an action by other than whomever is being charged. Carter was not recruiting, he was attempted to be recruited by "Russians." The Russians were the recruiters, and Page would only be complicit with the wrongdoing if he accepted the recruitment and became a Russian spy. And if that were so, why has he not been charged of or arrested for being a Russian spy?

The FBI directly interviewed Page. It did not require a FISA warrant to interview Page. Apparently (unless the FBI is still working to find enough evidence that Page actually became a spy) there is no proof that Page is or was a spy.

not even Sean Hannity suggests that every word of the dossier is incorrect. So not sure what your point is.

You spin with the best of them.

How would I verify what? What Comey said? He testified to it.
