Discussion: Trump Campaign Advisor Details Sept. 2016 Meeting With FBI's 'Informant'

“The two sat for coffee and had a “high level” academic discussion about China, Clovis said.”

Yeah, a China scholar and someone with a degree in Public Administration are on equal levels.

Funny how each time the Trump Admin goes ballistic in the Twitterverse or says something irrational on the air, we can usually depend on an information release later in the day utterly damning to the Administration.

  1. Victoria Toensing is married to Joe diGenova who is on FOX spreading the conspiracy theory.
  2. Sam, Who did you meet with the previous day??? And what about the day after??? If you recall this meeting in which…
    “There was no indication or no inclination that this was anything more than just wanting to offer up his help to the campaign if I needed it.”

Sept 1st 2016 to May 21st 2018 and this is what you formulated on your own?on the show??? …
Clovis, on the radio show, alleged that the informant meeting appeared to be “a deliberative and intentional effort on the part of the leadership of the FBI to create something that didn’t exist.”

The FBI, he claimed, was trying to “literally like plant evidence or to create an audit trail that would lead investigators on to something, then they would have justification to go back to their FISA warrants and all the other things.” (Wow, I could have sworn that diGenova said the same thing two days ago on TV… except he didn’t say ‘and all the other things’.)

Hey Sam, has Mike Pompeo called you in to consult with him on China?

He does look like he pulled one G too many.

This is september 2016, and the supposed informant is only getting around to the opening steps of what would have to become a deeper relationship to get anything useful? When the FBI has been investigating the campaign at least since midsummer and some individual campaign officials for years? Doesn’t even close to add up.

I wonder if the report was “They’re already completely in bed with real spies, no room for me.”

Q:“How did you smuggle documents under your chin?”
A:“I stuck them next to the waffles.”

“It was like two faculty members sitting down in the faculty lounge talking about research."

He means the faculty lounge at Treason University, of course.

Exactly the logical step I took.

“It was like two faculty members sitting down in the faculty lounge talking about research,” Clovis, who served as the campaign’s national co-chairman has no background in research, said.

He doesn’t have time to be a pedophile. He always ends up eating the children before he can take advantage of them.
Sam likes the Honey Ginger barbecued ones the best!

You’d think Clovis and Page would have realized it was a set-up when an academic claimed to admire the work of either one of these sniveling hacks.

Later in the interview, Clovis, with hands on hips, reared back and laughed, “And I swallowed them all. WHOLE!!”

Yes, when I think of “academic”, the first two things that pop into my mind are “Carter Page” and “Sam Clovis”.

Sam Clovis, why don’t you tell us about Carter Page? Notice how the “informant” had already talked with Carter Page before he talked with you. What do you think that means, Sam?

They settled for the lounge since Fuddruckers was closed.

Generally I don’t comment on people’s …ahem… “physical condition”… but having read up on Sam Clovis’ carer history it is hard for me to envision him as fighter pilot…which he apparently was …in the Air Force. He spent 25 years in the Military.
Clovis goes on to comment that the meeting with the guy who worked for the FBI was like a meeting in a faculty lounge to talk about research. Now I know Clovis taught some business classes at a small college but that is hardly a basis for saying his conversation with the informant was like what scientists who do research for a living talk about. Collusion amid presidential elections was not a topic I recall talking about with other faculty during my 45+ years of doing science.

That’s like many internet companies.
A) We get followers
B) …
C) We make billions in a unicorn exit.

They’re always a little hazy on Part B.

Well done!

I must ask if you “adjusted” the headline.
