DNC, FusionGPS, Steele and finally the FBI.

May you live in exciting times (tomorrow).

People get all hyped up and then....... Nothing seems to ever fill the expectations- and we are off to the next soon-to-break blockbuster.

I'm not saying that there is nothing here, it is just that even if slightly true, the revelations are never quite all they are touted to be. Frankly, from the last admin, the laying to the public about Benghazi was enough- they arms deals and the rest of the HRC stuff ended up falling flat. The IRS stuff was despicable, but because there wasn't a memo from Barry telling people to do it, that fell flat.

I don't know if it is our short-attention spans, over stimulation from movies and TV shows that raise our expectations for the third act reveal that makes us gasp but neatly ties in some character we have already met. The 24-hour news cycle that oddly has to be filled with something while at the same time things jockey for attention. I think it is the 'mic drop', 'watch so-and-so go beast mode', 'The seven times so-and-so destroyed some mental midget' on youtube mentality. Drive-by trolling on Redditt and the Facebook stupidity meme machine. Bite sized Twitter pundits spouting small ideas to short attention span junkies.

It all comes down to the Kardashians. At least she delivered the goods with her calling card video.

Listening to some of the "R's" yesterday and today being interviewed about the memo, I am starting to believe it is a bunch of hot air. They all talk about how everyone needs to see it and then hem & hawing about the release.

One of the typical interviews:

It won’t get released even though they could make it happen so that the R’s can keep saying how shocking all this was but never have to provide proof. This is just politicking.

I have zero doubt the memo outlines quite a bit about the involvement of the DOJ, FBI, DNC colluding to abuse FISA warrants on private citizens for political purposes.

However, don't let a crisis go to waste- that's what the Democrats taught us.

We President now!

Senator Johnson letter to FBI Director:

In bureaucratese, that Johnson letter reads like a hand grenade down the boxers. Good that people are starting to get PO'ed with Direktorate of Injustice's Deep State antics... if only Jeff Sessions would figure out where he left his testicles.

Five months of text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have been lost, according to a Friday disclosure from the Justice Department to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), as reported by the Associated Press and the Daily Caller.
In a letter from Stephen Boyd, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs at the Justice Department, to Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of HSGAC, the assistant AG writes that “The Department wants to bring to your attention that the FBI’s technical system for retaining text messages sent and received on FBI mobile devices failed to preserve text messages for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page.”
The explanation for the gap was “misconfiguration issues related to rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with the FBI’s collection capabilities.”

I was at first inclined to believe that this was a bunch of hyped up partisanship, with no “there there”.

However given the FBI’s behavior here using the tried and true Lois Lerner defensive tactic of destroying evidence, I think a purge of the FBI is now in order. In addition I think it’s safe to say that Robert Mueller’s investigation is pretty much tits up at this point.

Must suck to be an honest FBI agent, because now you just get lumped in with all the wantonly corrupt shit heels that head the agency.

It is so interesting to me that the MSM and the dems have to continually rejigger the the Trump-Russia Collusion story to keep it fresh, when you have all of this evidence of what is essentially a coup attempt on our front door.

People often say that if HRC had won, the GOPers would be going nuts if there was the evidence on her that there is about Trump. Imagine if the NYC FBI office with their supposed fealty to Giuliani had covered up for Trump like the FBI did for HRC....
