When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illlegal

Grassley and Johnson Ask DNI Grenell for Declassified Unmasking List in 2017 – Timing Relates to NSA Database Exploits…

NSA Director Mike Rogers previously said he retained the audit-trail and audit logs which matches the exact time-frame outlined within the letter by Senators Johnson and Grassley. The custodian of those NSA logs is currently…. wait for it…. Ric Grenell.

Coincidentally, the Senate seems newly motivated to confirm John Ratcliffe.

More: Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell declassified an email former national security adviser Susan Rice sent to herself on President Trump’s Inauguration Day about an Oval Office meeting in which the Russia investigation was discussed.

More commentary at Powerline: What is the significance of the newly-declassified paragraph? Several things stand out.

  1. Since when is it not a chargeable offence to send top secret emails to a personal email account? Oh yeah, ever since Hillary Clinton ran State Department emails through her personal unprotected server in her closet. Foreign intelligence agencies must have loved these corrupt Obama apparatchiks.

  2. I get tired of reading what the government does illegally because there are absolutely no consequences Cops FBI they do what they want and get away with it.

  3. Which book? The Prince? Why would outgoing, legacy intact Obama be party to this legal charade? Sorry I had to ask.
    Did the three musketeers convince him Flynn was a spy? We know now getting Flynn was their linchpin to Russiagate.
    Why go all in after Trump wins? Wiser to withdraw gracefully to a peaceful retirement of book tours and golf?

    Could Obama be that stupid as to find a problem with incoming NSA speaking with the Russian Ambassador?

    Did these political nimrods actually entertain the idea of toppling Trump?

    Oh, he got bankrupted and lied; there you go. Case closed. Oh he wants to withdraw his plea? Perjurer.

    Comey says Flynn’s call was unconventional. What? But what if a decorated general, bloodied in battle defending the nation, just happens to be a Russian pawn with collaborator oligarch Trump as Putin’s puppet.

    That’s fortunate because, as Hillary said, if Trump won, they’d all hang. Maybe there’s still some nuggets to be panned.

    Uncover one butt; watch heads roll, Barr none.

  4. last time Trump couldn’t get Grassley confirmed, but by putting Grenell in that slot he can now get Grassley confirmed, as every one wants Grenell gone, cuz he’s a wild card, and does as he pleases. Trump wins again, See how that works , unDork???

    1. I believe you mean Ratcliffe…but I get the gist of what you’re saying. It’s a bit more intricate than that. The entire SIC (or those in charge) disapprove of Ratcliffe. They shot the nomination down before it got started last time, causing Trump to pull him from consideration. That included Richard Burr (co-chair). In fact, it likely was enforced by Richard Burr. So, where’s Burr now? Oh right, somehow his potential SEC violations somehow made it out in public forcing him to resign his position. Funny how that happened.

      Here’s the thing. It’s a dilemma for the other side. Grenell has been very aggressive and cooperative in releasing long desired information. It’s gotten to the point where it surely influenced the approval by the committee to get someone else in there stat. Ratcliffe passes the committee and is onto a full vote on approval just after Memorial Day. It gets Grenell out of there…BUT…here’s where it could get interesting. You might have noticed the pressure and focus towards Wray at the FBI lately…especially in the last few days. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a document dump that shows Wray as a complete incompetent idiot in the next few days giving cause for his removal and the placement of a “chair warmer” who finds it fun to actually respond to document requests…

      Rinse Lather Repeat….Let’s see if they actually get as far as putting him over at the State Department. Don’t full yourself. Pompeo has done some fine work…but he’s sitting on requested documents as well. And, the State Dept is the original hive of scum and villainy.

  5. Why should these “facts” be any more reliable that the facts showing Trump’s corruption?

    Why should these “facts” be treated as any more reliable that the facts presented by CNN or the NYT?

    Why should anyone believe documents selectively released by Trump tell the whole store when he routinely refuses to cooperate with congressional oversight which is mandated by the US constitution?

    These partisan games are so pathetic. I am so tired of the hypocrisy. Trump and Biden should both thrown down a deep hole and forgotten.

    1. Ouch Tim, are you really that thick?
      We’re not talking about “sources close to Trump,” or other such fakery, but actual documents.
      I thought you would realize that like every other person who has a clue and comes to this site.

      1. You ignore the fact that Trump systematically obstructed any attempt by congress to get to the truth of what went on. We had the spectacle of his bootlickers in the senate refusing to call witnesses in the trial that had publicly stated they had relevant testimony. If there was really nothing to hide they should have let those witnesses testify.

        For Trump lackeys to claim now that they are acting in the name of justice by releasing documents that may or may not provide the complete context is ridiculous hypocrisy. There is absolutely no reason to believe that this is not just another fabrication by Trump loyalists.

        So the question is: why are you so credulous?
        Why would trust anything produced by a narcissist with no concept of ethical conduct?

        1. Your opinion that Trump did anything is not a fact; to ignore or otherwise. TDS loons equate their opinion with fact.

  6. There was two other separate illegal actions, one before Flynn and one after….

    1. Debbie Wasserman Schultz had communications with AG Loretta lynch… Debbie had a request from an agent for George Soros that he wanted to know if Hillary was going to be charged… Lynch replied that Hillary would Not be Charged… this was before FBI Comey finished his investigation…..Comey reported this communication to Congress & Debbie resigned from the DNC ( this would be a normal way to handle that criminal act). Loretta Lynch had her meeting on the tarmac with Bill Clinton & recused herself from making the Charging decision…..Comey decided he would NOT charge Hillary (if he hadn’t he would have to ask for an Independent Council that would have take Hillary out of the race) Who scrubbed the DNC server? CIA?

    2. The attempt by the AG of Wash State was the insurance policy … They filled a case against Trump because he signed a Presidential order “Muslim Travel Ban” They used Trumps words during the 2016 Champaign to justify discrimination….Sally Yates refused to defend the case (they hoped to get a quick Win that couldn’t be appealed) Trump fired Sally Yates & defended the case… Lost & appealed to the US 9th Circuit… Lost and Appealed to SCOTUS… WON on both issues… The SCOTUS ruled that Campaign verbiage could not be used in a Court of LAW, Trump was free to talk to his supporters anyway he wished……This SCOTUS decision killed the Mueller investigation, but he keep going, and going using every dirty trick provided by dirty SDNY Judges

  7. If I can make a historical comparison:

    This is equal to the missing minutes of the Watergate tapes.

  8. What DJT is working tirelessly to stop is the headlong dive into world communism. All the building blocks were in place for the hag, to come in and take out the US constitution. That US constitution, is the last impediment in front of the un’s one world government. These creeps are all connected, like a James Bond movie, worldwide, and damn, in 2016 this giant fly ended up in their ointment, Henry george and the crew are getting close to closing time and they are apoplectic to get their plan back on track. Canada sold out years ago, our current media lisperer is only the puppet for the cause, a stunt dolt to be sure. And Tim, stop reading mother jones, you seem like the type that would be all in, on kicking in 2200 front doors to make sure people are self isolating, or shuttering churches on bong boys orders. DJT is smart, not corrupt, far smarter than the idiots that are trying to take him out as evidenced by this letter and millions of other examples of the lefts stupidity. He also has the US military on his side, that’s smart.

  9. When the DOJ changed their agreement with Flynn from a proverbial slap on the wrist to incarceration he was within his rights to change his plea, that is what everybody is missing in this debacle. The defendant’s plea change has pulled the scab off and the puss and poison is oozing out. Rice blaming Comey, McCabe running for cover, Biden and his “I didn’t Know nothing!’. Then there is the depositions by the Schiff show repudiating everything this crowd has been telling the media that has just come to light because of Grenell. Six months to go and the desperation in the air is so thick you can not only smell it you can see it and yet the morons that voted for Obambam are still on these sites spouting their idiocy. There isn’t enough Beer and Popcorn to supply America for the upcoming entertainment.
