Comey Was 'Concerned' NY FBI Officials Were Leaking Info to Rudy Giuliani (From Dec 2018)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/comey-was-concerned-ny-fbi-officials-were-leaking-info-to-rudy-giuliani

Former FBI Director James Comey told House investigators that he was “concerned” about FBI officials in the bureau’s New York field office leaking information about the Hillary Clinton email probe to Rudy Giuliani. “I was concerned that there appeared to be in the media a number of stories that might have been based on communications reporters or non-reporters like Rudy Giuliani were having with people in the New York field office,” Comey said, according to a transcript released Saturday. “Mr. Giuliani was making statements that appeared to be based on his knowledge of workings inside the FBI New York.” Comey said he asked for an investigation but was fired before it could be completed. Giuliani has denied the claims.

Is Merrick Garland or Chris Wray running the Biden document investigation?

Yes, Garland is the AG and oversees the FBI.

But the latest searches on Biden's home were done by the FBI.

Chris Wray has been as quiet as a church mouse since the "insurrection" of January 6th, although he did testify once about domestic terrorism and white supremacists. Otherwise, he has been in the shadows.

Although we are told that the FBI is not political, we do recall Rudy Guiliani bragging about working with friends at the FBI during the Mueller investigation. It seems that there may be some in the FBI that are very pro-Trump and anti-Biden.

Can Biden get a fair shake from the FBI?

How concerned is the DOJ about the classified documents Trump refuses to turn over?

It has been reported that they believe he is still holding on to documents.

Unlike Biden, he is refusing to turn them over.

Merrick Garland wants the appearance of balance and fairness in the DOJ.

We do not know what the prevalent attitude is within Chris Wray's FBI?

In my opinion, the DOJ is very concerned about the missing documents that Trump is holding or has destroyed?

Something Strange Going On ?


In regards to the Biden investigation, Biden is the President and he could de-classify those documents tomorrow, if he wanted. But, he has decided to leave the investigation to Merrick Garland and the DOJ.

It is strange to me that Merrick Garland would permit a 10-hour search of the Biden home, unless there was a good reason?

At first, one might wonder if Merrick Garland was calling the shots? Or if the cult followers at the FBI were calling the shots?

Is the Biden investigation a pretext to a larger investigation to come?

How big of a battle is this to preserve democracy?

Is Ukraine the final push by the fascists to tear down the democracies of the world?

Is Justice part of the equation?

There are many questions and things going on that we don't know.

Jim Jordan should be nominated for an Oscar, for pretending to be a victim in his own crimes.

He was always slinking behind the curtains, willing to do any of the dirty deeds Trump requested. Maybe he talked with Trump in the evening of January 6th? Or maybe he talked with him in the morning of January 6th? He just doesn't recall.

But there is no doubt that he was one of the leaders of the Republicans in Congress that agreed to overthrow the election and install Trump back into the White House.

But now, he is the victim. And he is pissed. He wants all the files from the DOJ having to do with all the investigations, including those against himself and his Leader, Trump. The DOJ has informed him that that cannot happen.

So he keeps pretending to be the innocent victim when, like the rest of his traitorous comrades, he knows he is guilty of a crime.

They just refuse to admit it.

Two years from today, who will have been sworn in as the new President?

What are the odds that Donald Trump will be the new President two years from today?

The election of 2020 gave the people one last chance to save their democracy. It is unlikely that the next Democrat will get the total votes that Joe Biden received in 2020. Unforeseen circumstances created conditions for a large turnout, with the effects of the Covid epidemic, the drive-thru voting, the drop boxes, the huge mail-in voting campaign. It is unlikely to happen again, in my opinion.

How important will the next election be for the survival of our democracy?

Will we blow the chance we have been given?

The Games People Play

What I think should happen with a Trump prosecution?

He should be treated like any other citizen. Being the Leader of a Cult does not qualify for special treatment.

It should be taken to a jury. If the charges cannot be proven, then he will walk.

If they can be proven, he should be sentenced like any other citizen.

If the next President would wish to pardon him, then he/she would pay the political price. Or they may think there is no political price?

In my opinion, Jack Smith should continue to gather the evidence, but hopefully he will soon file charges against the former Criminal-in-Chief.

The media has an unwritten rule.

Don't say anything bad about those in the same business as you.

For example, this has prohibited Mainstream Media from criticizing such outlets as FOXNews. It's a business decision.

But now, FOX is in court today, defending themselves from attacking another business, although not associated with the media. Dominion Voting Machines has deposed Rupert Murdoch to testify in defense of the lies and dangerous propaganda they have recklessly and carelessly propagated throughout our society. FOX is being sued for $1.6 Billion dollars.

It is very difficult to win a legal case against the media of this country, but this could be an exception?

It is sad that others in the Mainstream Media have been so slow to criticize FOX in the past, and even now.
