A Justice Department official who helped oversee the controversial probes of Hillary Clintons use of a private email server and Russian interference in the 2016 election stepped down this week.
David Laufman, an experienced federal prosecutor who in 2014 became chief of the National Security Divisions Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, said farewell to colleagues Wednesday. He cited personal reasons.
His departure from the high-pressure job comes as President Trump and his Republican allies have stepped up attacks on the Justice Department, the FBI and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III for their handling of the Russia probe.
Its tough to leave a mission this compelling and an institution as exceptional as the Department of Justice, said Laufman, 59. But I know that prosecutors and agents will continue to bring to their work precisely what the American people should expect: a fierce and relentless commitment to protect the national security of the United States.

(1,077 posts)telling us things are not right with "the guy in the white house".
I once read an article by an author of spy thrillers who had contacts within the intelligence profession. He use to meet privately for lunch and discussions. He used the professionals as a sounding board about ideas for story lines. The louder they laughed, told him the closer he was to real life in the business.
My point, the intel professionals we're watching and listening to, are telling us something is wrong. Could you say they are members of Old Crows?
The guy in the white house (self interest) and the paruskies (bring us down by any means) are working together.

(51,651 posts)"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party" is a phrase first proposed as a typing drill by instructor Charles E. Weller; its use is recounted in his book The Early History of the Typewriter, p. 21 (1918).
From the typewriter it came, and to the typewriter it shall return: the phrase was proposed as a typing drill by a teacher named Charles E. Weller. Incidentally, many typing books now use the variant Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country instead, because it exactly fills out a 70-space line if you put a period at the end.
It was "party" first, then was changed.

(22,677 posts)66+ million of your fellow Americans are aligned with the right side of this equation. Those 63 million voters on the other side have a choice to make about which side they choose to stand on. Do they stand with the United States or do they stand with the leaders of our principal foreign adversary? The time has come.

This country will never recover from what they have done.
