2 Likes

“The Trump Campaign is the real victim here!”, Grassley exclaimed.

There’s Jell-o in the Day Room, Senator.
Change out of your pajamas before you go in there.
Remember what happened last time.
Fox and Friends will be coming on the TV soon.
Have a nice day.

Grassley isn’t considering a third possibility. Maybe the FBI considered Trump to be a potential co-conspirator? Is the FBI in the business of telling it’s suspects that they are under suspicion?

It’s awful when the FBI fails to tell you not to commit high crimes and misdemeanors. Who among us has not been warned by the FBI on the eve of committing a crime. Why I’m sure that that mean AG Schneiderman also failed to tell Jared not to take out bad loans and compromise himself with Russian oligarchs.

Sometimes the FBI is between a rock and a hard place. Fail to tell people not to commit crimes, and you get accused of dereliction of duty.
But if you tell them not to commit crimes. they call it Government Overreach, and say “mind your own business”

They wanted to, but “Be sure your Presidential campaign isn’t colluding with foreign intelligence services over a wide front to subvert the entire nation’s information and electoral systems and tip the election to your opponent completely without your knowing it” didn’t fit well on one of those McGruff “Take a Bite Out of Crime” posters.

Yeah, this would be like calling John Gotti up and saying, ‘Ya know John, this Sammy The Bull could be a problem for you.’

I guess this means we need to impeach Comey.

Grassley. He’s just sickening.

There’s no political subculture that talks smack like the Stalinists.

Yeah. I called the FBI once to ask if it was ok if I laundered $10 million for the Cartel. They said no…boy, did that make my job that much harder.

I seem to recall that Sally Yates (directly) and Comey (indirectly) did warn Trump. They both got fired for their efforts.

I seem to recall HRC talking about it during her campaign and being mocked for it.

How long before Trump wails “Why wasn’t I warned??!! Obama’s FBI set me up!!!”

Why would they? Trump wasn’t a government official yet, didn’t have security clearance, and there was reason to (correctly) believe he himself was up to his eyeballs in the same corrupt and treasonous ties to Russia.

Grassley asked Wray to respond by Oct. 4.

Translation: “Chris, blame your predecessor, Comey, ASAP.”

Is Grassley sure this is a path he wants to head down?

Q: “Hey FBI, why didn’t you tell then candidate Tramp that there were potentially compromised people working on his campaign?”

A: “We did, and here is the documentation of dates, times, and people we spoke to.”

Oops.
