As many people said, it was wrong for the FBI to assume that the Russians hacked Hillary's emails, but it was accepted as true by Comey et al without any examination of the DNC server.
For the rest of you, how do you like being lied to for the last 4 years?
They had indicators that information was transferred out. They don't comment on whether it was the Russians or not, or whether it was hacking or a leak.
hacked the computer. This was a case where Dems refused to give the computer to FBI for eval.....not usual behavior of a victim. Then, DOJ lets Dems eval their own computer - they handpick the Crowdstrike company to evaluate it. Crowdstrike Chief told Schiff in just released testimony that they found no evidence that Russia hacked the DNC computer nor direct evidence that the DNC computer was hacked. Then Schiff also concomittantly was told by all 53 people he interviewed under oath that they knew of no evidence of Trump collusion with Russia. Then Schiff goes on TV nine different times and lies that he does have evidence of Trump/ Russia collusion - and of course he never releases it because he really doesn’t have it.
Then other people who testified that they knew of no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia under oath nonetheless go on CNN, MSNBC, et al. and lie by saying that there is clear evidence of it - these, among others include Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, and Schiff among others.
We were right on every single point.
Now we also know that the FBI made up reasons to go after Flynn who Obama despised for questioning his views of ISIS as a JV team. We know he fired Flynn. We know that he pulled Trump aside to warn him about this one guy (who also was the only guy on his team with knowledge of the intell system). We know the regular FBI agents interviewed him after their justification in writing to do so to a judge “was to determine if there was contact between Flynn and the Russians” when it turns out that they already had a tape recording of their conversation. We know that an initial interview by FBI led to an official report saying that he told the truth about his call to Kislyak. We know that they recommended to close the case. We know that in the next few days, there was a WH meeting with Obama, Biden, Yates, Comey, McCabe, and possibly Brennan (can’t remember if he was there for sure, but I think so), and thereafter Strzok ordered the case to proceed with another interview of Flynn.
We know that Yates testified that she was shocked when Obama told her that he knew about the Flynn all to Kislyak and the DOJ’s actions- this was not supposed to be privy to know, but someone had leaked it.
We know from hand written notes that the FBI agents in charge were asking whether their goal was to get him to lie or to get him fired. We know that they planned to use the obscure Logan Act violation which had never been used, and which Susan Rice admitted she herself (and most other newly elected presidential staff) violated when Obama took office.
We also know that President Trump has said that bigger news will be out next week, and this is also separately being reported by 2 separate independent sources at FoxNews and a WSJ reporter.
We know now that Obama released a warning statement tonight about the dropping of the Flynn case, and called into question the credibility of the sitting AG as the investigation has now confirmed his involvement.
And we know that the recommendation to drop the Flynn case was not actually made by Barr, but an independent prosecutor who Barr asked to review and give an opinion, and that Barr followed that recommendation given the overwhelming evidence and bad behavior of the FBI.
Sorry Ned, but the deceit is complicated, and I thought that it’d be helpful to jot down a timeline while I had it in my head.
