He deserves it, but the optics won't be good unless they can release specific findings corroborated in the report.

Good Trump!

The pardon leads back to Comey....

Comey himself had a role in the Libby case: after Attorney General John Ashcroft recused himself from the case, then-Deputy Attorney General Comey appointed Fitzgerald as special counsel.

Fixed one of W's mistakes.

OIG report on McCabe

So, this is Chapter 1? I assume there is a bunch more coming...

Damage control:

Haven't read the report yet, don't see how McCabe escape prosecution.

Nadler isn't even defending the report. He's just deflecting to Mueller. He probably even think McCabe gets prosecuted

On page 12 it reads like there is confirmation of a Clinton Foundation CRIMINAL investigation.

Comey was bullied as a kid. Likens getting "wedgies" to learning how to handle Trump.

Decades before former FBI Director James Comey says he faced the mob boss-like tactics of President Trump, the fired lawman got an early lesson in bullies growing up in Allendale, he writes.

In Comey's book, "A Higher Loyalty," the 1978 Northern Highlands Regional High School graduate describes suffering through body-shaming, wedgies and getting shoved into lockers, according to the Washington Post,

"Surviving a bully requires constant learning and adaptation. Which is why bullies are so powerful, because it's so much easier to be a follower, to go with the crowd, to just blend in," Comey writes.

Quote:

The future FBI chief faced other traumatic experiences growing up in a leafy section of Bergen County. At 15, Comey was held captive by a gun-toting assailant dubbed the "Ramsey Rapist."

Comey told 60 Minutes he believed the attacker would kill him, and described a "pretty horrific experience."

WTH? I thought Comey was a POS, now I think he's a cray cray POS.

Wait...So Comey got raped??

Probably was godfather to little Hogg.

If they indicted Flynn for lying once, they'd be hard pressed to let McCabe slide for multiple counts of perjury.

LMAO McCabe sounded like such a moron in that report ... dude was caught red handed as ***** What a scumbag! I can't stand these people who scurry to the press with anything and everything

Well we sure hit the nail on the head with that report, didn't we? From Devlin Barrett being the reporter, to Lisa Page being the leaker and then using her text messages from McCabe to defend herself.

In the battle between Comey and McCabe, the score is 1-0 in the first inning.

The image of Comey "battling" anyone.

One of the many new talking points after the release of this reports is, and Comey's bizarre book is ironic.

Quote:

---

"Given the latest turn of events this all shows how partisan and damaging James Comey's actions in July and October were, just days before the election. He felt compelled to inform the public that Hillary Clinton was under investigation, even though she was cleared of any wrongdoing. Yet Comey felt no pressure to inform the public that Donald Trump was also under investigation. Comey chose to protect Donald Trump because he was so far behind in the polls."

---

This was a reply into the excerpt from the book where Comey describes his thought process as he made legal decisions at the FBI, from the chief's chair based on political polling.



Well perhaps at this time there was no "criminal investigation" against Trump, but just a matter. A matter of illegal surveillance through abuse of the FISC. Pretty sure they wouldn't want to mention that and blow their cover on the wiretapping of Trump Tower by two hopping Cater Page on a FISA Title 1 warrant, based on a op-research document created and paid for by Trump's political opponent.

Well, this time they believed Comey over McCabe's version of events. Might be the first and last time Comey is afforded any credibility.

Anonymous Q has nothing on this thread.

Also this is likely solid proof at least Page has flipped to save her own ass, likely Strzok as well, I still think Priestap has a key role in this as well. For all we know he is the one that put Horowitz on the trail of Page and Strzok.

McCabe might even start a little chirping himself now that the handwriting is on the s****** wall.

If this turns out to be true, AND is proveable, the former resident at 1500 Pennsylvania just got a little warning shot.

Court action today in Cohen no-knock search. Cohen had filed a request for a Temporary Restraining Order:
https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4437532/Cohen-v-US-Motion-Seeking-TRO.pdf

& the government filed a counter argument (see document below). The document below states that Cohen is under criminal investigation for his private business activities, and it also asserts that he doesn't have a significant law practice. The judge doesn't think Cohen has presented much of an argument.

Later today Trump's lawyer files and is granted an intervention:

Here's a synopsis story of today's proceedings: (It's from Buzzfeed but appears to be balanced reporting.)

https://www.buzzfeed.com/amberjamieson/lawyers-for-michael-cohen-joined-by-trump-fight-to-halt/

One point from the above synopsis: Trump's lawyer for this case was only retained Wednesday evening, and she has requested more time to prepare her arguments. There will be more hearings Sunday and Monday.

Maybe. But Horowitz was on the Hillary email investigation before Trump was even inaugurated. He knew who the players were who were involved with it. Had a game plan. And at some point when stories diverged, tracked them down. Priestap was likely helpful when it came to nut-crunching time but I think Horowitz was onto Strzok and Page fairly quickly. They just didn't know it and kept being too chatty.

couldn't resist

Martha McCullum just reported that it was Lisa Page that leaked to the WSJ on behalf of McCabe, those leaks and his lies about them that got them fired. Does it look like maybe she's turned?

Likely the day she texted to Strzok don't ever text me again, was when they dropped the hammer on her that they had her texts and she flipped at that point to save her own skin.
