Remember during the Obama admin when Obama came out and said he talked to the FBI and they told him that the investigation on Clinton was complete bullshit?

Bill had a chat with the AG where both sides said they did not discuss the investigation and repugs lose their shit, and here we have…

History has shown categorically that republican AG’s and FBI operatives break the law and cover up crimes to advance their party’s interests. This is simply fact.

The only question here is can an already complicit FBI be trusted to secure the nation from this compromised president and his equally compromised subordinates.

Frankly, with history as our guide, the answer is no.

Not surprising considering Comrade Comey was involved.

I call bullshit to this assertion by the WH. The FBI had no problem commenting in public and generating what turned out to be false rumors about Clinton’s email investigation at a crucial juncture of the election.

So, just to make sure we’re all on the same page, we all get that the only thing that makes the things “senior administration officials” say newsworthy is that, while everything they say is a lie, each new lie forms one more datapoint in the web of contradictions and backtracking that help define the boundaries of the truth they’re trying to hide, right?

senior administration officials insisted

Interesting that these “senior administration officials” appear to be anonymous, even to Rinse himself. Weird how these things work.

“Because they have no sources, they just make them up when there are none. I saw one story recently where they said nine people have confirmed. There are no nine people. I don’t believe there was one or two people. Nine people. And I said, ‘give me a break,’ because I know the people. I know who they talked to.”

And since they’re anonymous, according to Hair Furor they can’t be believed.

It’s time for Comey and McCabe to come clean. The WH is taking their names in vain and the only way to clear this up is a detailed account of who said what to who.

Ha! McCabe and Mrs. (Stephen) Miller.

The officials said McCabe later called Priebus and told him, “We’d love to help but we can’t get into the position of making statements on every story.” But when Priebus asked McCabe if he could cite senior intelligence officials who said the report was false, McCabe replied “yes,” according to the pool report.

N that was Priebus’s Sunday talking point.

So unnamed WH official relates conversations with FBI about Russia connection BS but FBI cannot confirm because they can’t. Am I missing something?
