I finally heard the name of Comey's mole inside the Trump White House, while Comey was actively investigating the president, and lying to him at the same time.
The Mole was Anthony Ferrante.

Comey Under DOJ Investigation For Misleading Trump While Targeting Him In FBI Probe
Former FBI Director James Comey has been under investigation for misleading President Trump - telling him in private that he wasn't the target of an ongoing FBI probe, while refusing to admit to this in public.
According to RealClearInvestigations' Paul Sperry, "Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will file a report in September which contains evidence that Comey was misleading the president" while conducting an active investigation against him.
Even as he repeatedly assured Trump that he was not a target, the former director was secretly trying to build a conspiracy case against the president, while at times acting as an investigative agent. -RCI
According to two US officials familiar with Horowitz's upcoming report on FBI misconduct, Comey was essentially "running a covert operation" against Trump - which began with a private "defensive briefing" shortly after the inauguration. RCI's sources say that Horowitz has pored over text messages between the FBI's former top-brass and other communications suggesting that Comey was in fact conducting a "counterintelligence assessment" of the president during their January 2017 meeting in New York.
What's more, Comey had an FBI agent in the White House who reported the activities of Trump and his aides, according to 'other officials familiar with the matter.'
The agent, Anthony Ferrante, who specialized in cyber crime, left the White House around the same time Comey was fired and soon joined a security consulting firm, where he contracted with BuzzFeed to lead the news site's efforts to verify the Steele dossier, in connection with a defamation lawsuit. -RCI
Quote:See,s like running a counterintelligence operation against the President and lying about it would be a good reason to get fired, no? ALSO, it seems that Trump had sources of his own who told him what was really going on.
According to the report, Horowitz and his team have examined over 1 million documents and conducted over 100 interviews - including sit-downs with Comey and other current and former FBI and DOJ employees. "The period covering Comey’s activities is believed to run from early January 2017 to early May 2017, when Comey was fired and his deputy Andrew McCabe, as the acting FBI director, formally opened full counterintelligence and obstruction investigations of the president."
Quote:
McCabe’s deputy, Lisa Page, appeared to dissemble last year when asked in closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee if Comey and other FBI brass discussed opening an obstruction case against Trump prior to his firing in May 2017. Initially, she flatly denied it, swearing: “Obstruction of justice was not a topic of conversation during the time frame you have described.” But then, after conferring with her FBI-assigned lawyer, she announced: “I need to take back my prior statement.” Page later conceded that there could have been at least “discussions about potential criminal activity” involving the president. -RCI
Comey coordination
Sperry notes that Comey wasn't working in isolation on the Trump effort. In particular, Horowitz has looked at the January 6, 2017 briefing on the infamous 'Steele Dossier' - a meeting which was used by BuzzFeed, CNN and others to legitimize reporting on the dossier's salacious and unsubstantiated claims.
Comey’s meeting with Trump took place one day after the FBI director met in the Oval Office with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to discuss how to brief Trump — a meeting attended by National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and National Intelligence Director James Clapper, who would soon go to work for CNN. -RCI

Mueller's FBI 'Attack Dog' Weissmann Begged Ukrainian Oligarch For Dirt On Trump ....Quote:
How Mueller deputy Andrew Weissmann's offer to an oligarch could boomerang on DOJ
By John Solomon, opinion contributor
The ink was still drying on special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment papers when his chief deputy, the famously aggressive and occasionally controversial prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, made a bold but secret overture in early June 2017.
Weissmann quietly reached out to the American lawyers for Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash with a tempting offer: Give us some dirt on Donald Trump in the Russia case, and Team Mueller might make his 2014 U.S. criminal charges go away.
The specifics of the never-before-reported offer were confirmed to me by multiple sources with direct knowledge, as well as in contemporaneous defense memos I read.
Two years later, Weissmann’s overture may have far-reaching consequences for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), here and abroad. His former boss, Mueller, is slated to testify Wednesday before Congress.
The DOJ, Mueller’s office and Weissmann did not immediately respond to emails requesting comment on Monday.
At first blush, one might ask, “What’s the big deal?” It’s not unusual for federal prosecutors to steal a page from Monty Hall’s “Let’s Make a Deal” script during plea negotiations.
But Weissmann’s overture was wrapped with complexity and intrigue far beyond the normal federal case, my sources indicate.
At the time, pressure was building inside the DOJ and the FBI to find smoking-gun evidence against Trump in the Russia case because the Steele dossier — upon which the early surveillance warrants were based — was turning out to be an uncorroborated mess. (“There’s no big there there,” lead FBI agent Pete Strzok texted a few days before Weissmann’s overture.)
Likewise, key evidence that the DOJ used to indict Firtash on corruption charges in 2014 was falling apart. Two central witnesses were in the process of recanting testimony, and a document the FBI portrayed as bribery evidence inside Firtash’s company was exposed as a hypothetical slide from an American consultant’s PowerPoint presentation, according to court records I reviewed.
In other words, the DOJ faced potential embarrassment in two high-profile cases when Weissmann made an unsolicited approach on June 4, 2017, that surprised even Firtash’s U.S. legal team.
To some, the offer smacked of being desperately premature. Mueller was appointed just two weeks earlier, did not even have a full staff selected, and was still getting up to speed on the details of the investigation. So why rush to make a deal when the prosecution team still was being selected, some wondered.
Second, Weissmann’s approach was audaciously aggressive, even for a prosecutor with his reputation.
According to a defense memo recounting Weissmann’s contacts, the prosecutor claimed the Mueller team could “resolve the Firtash case” in Chicago [where commodities trading takes place- SIGNY] and neither the DOJ nor the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office “could interfere with or prevent a solution,” including withdrawing all charges. “The complete dropping of the proceedings … was doubtless on the table,” according to the defense memo.
Firtash’s team suspected Weissmann’s claim was exaggerated. While Mueller had full authority to investigate the Russia case, he wasn’t an independent counsel separate of the DOJ but, rather, a special counsel subject to the attorney general’s oversight.
The third red flag came in how much Weissmann communicated to Firstash’s lawyers about his hopes for the Ukrainian oligarch’s testimony.
Prosecutors in plea deals typically ask a defendant for a written proffer of what they can provide in testimony and identify the general topics that might interest them. But Weissmann appeared to go much further in a July 7, 2017, meeting with Firtash’s American lawyers and FBI agents, sharingNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
I heard report that IG Horowitz has referred charges of Espionage or Treason for Comey, from when he stole FBI Documents.

The NYT (and presumably the rest of the M$M) have decided that RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA! i no longer an effective hobby-horse. The NYT has decided to pivot to "Trump is a racist". And all of the little minds that follow the M$M ... to whom RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA! was such a compelling and existential issue ... have pivoted with it. Russia is down the memory hole. The new witch hunt is racism.

The closest Baquet came to identifying a moment when the paper had misjudged current events was when he described it as being “a little tiny bit flat-footed” after the Mueller investigation ended. “Our readers who want Donald Trump to go away suddenly thought, ‘Holy shit, Bob Mueller is not going to do it,’” Baquet said. “And Donald Trump got a little emboldened politically, I think. Because, you know, for obvious reasons. And I think that the story changed. A lot of the stuff we’re talking about started to emerge like six or seven weeks ago.”
By this account, the question of how to address presidential racism was a newly emerged one, something the paper would need to pivot into.

Oh sure. I wish the only way to search this website wasn't using Google and that there were abilities to bookmark certain posts and threads like some of the more modern sites I use have.
I said that very thing was going to happen years ago.
But nobody remembers that I said it, and nobody will remember all of the Russia crap they talked about every day either.
Don't ever forget the massive conspiracy theory that these overpaid talking head shills programmed the 2% of Americans who watch lefty news every night to believe.
Especially this douchebag that got his hooks into JO's otherwise brilliant mind early....

And so the Democrats will make this entire thing about Trump for the next year and 2 months, failing completely to realize that none of it is about Trump at all.
Trump's just the symptom. If it wasn't him, it would have been someone else.
If the Democrats don't fix their shit, they just might find out how true this is, and just like they pine over the days of GWB in the current Trump Presidency, they're going to be wishing that it was Donald Trump sitting in that seat when that day comes.
Believe it or not, I don't want to see a Republican monopoly on politics for a generation to come. You're already looking at a great chance that Trump will have 5 more years in office. In that time, the Supreme Court will be heavily stacked in favor of the GOP. Scores of Republican justices are being placed with very little news coverage, with the MSM instead deciding that lying about Russia for two years was a better course of action. He's expertly drawing attention to Cenk Uygur's Justice Democrat freshmen, goading them to continually embarrass themselves on a national stage and put a hard split right down the center of the Democratic Party.
One might blame him for the coming implosion of the Democratic Party, but he's barely even doing anything but tweeting from his office, or maybe his cell phone while he's out golfing every other day. He's got the Democratic Party dancing on his strings and cannibalizing each other while he's literally just phoning it in. All the while, his approval rating has barely moved an inch, and is plenty high enough to secure the next election.
Against a pool of 20 or so Democratic hopefuls, the Democratic voters are still somewhat united behind them in their "We must remove Trump at any cost" message, but a lot of that support will wane when the field is finally narrowed to that single candidate that will inevitably turn off a large part of the Democratic voting base almost as much as Trump does. That's not to mention how easily he's going to be able to destroy nearly all of those candidates in 1 on 1 debates when they are completely unable to walk back to the center with how left their talking points and sound bytes have been up to this point.
And in the end of all of this, the Democrats from 2015 to 2020 will be squarely to blame for all of it.
