The deep state is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector generals report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming.
At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton matter, but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a yearlong investigation of this wont come down hard on former FBI Director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasnt playing mahjong in a secret no aides allowed meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac.
With this report on the way and congressional investigators beginning to zero in on the lack of hard, verified evidence for starting the Trump probe, current and former intelligence and Justice Department officials are dumping everything they can think of to save their reputations.
But it is backfiring. They started by telling the story of Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, as having remembered a bar conversation with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. But how did the FBI know they should talk to him? Thats left out of their narrative. Downers signature appears on a $25 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation. You dont need much imagination to figure that he was close with Clinton Foundation operatives who relayed information to the State Department, which then called the FBI to complete the loop. This wasnt intelligence. It was likely opposition research from the start...........................

- Carter Page was under suspicion of being a russian spy for years before he even joined Trump's campaign. The Steele-dossier merely confirmed what the FBI already knew. That's how the FBI got the FISA-warrant to spy on him.
- Paul Manafort was a lobbyist working in Ukraine on behalf of Russia before he joined Trump's campaign.
