Priebus/FBI Agents McCabe/Comey

[jaxind]

OK...so now I'm confused....aside from the whole debacle between Priebus and McCabe/Comey, is the part where McCabe tells Priebus that the FBI is not finding anything as far as tRUMP's people talking to Russia during the campaign, is that part of what McCabe said, true?? Are they really not finding facts to back up that tRUMP's people talked to Russia during the campaign???

1. According to CNN

From CNN:

(CNN)High-level advisers close to then-presidential nominee Donald Trump were in constant communication during the campaign with Russians known to US intelligence, multiple current and former intelligence, law enforcement and administration officials tell CNN.

The denial comes from Trump's people. Who do you believe?

2. That is the White House version of the event.

Which came out hours after the original leak. Suspicious to me.

3. I am more interested in why Comey made a followup trip to the WH

to discuss the investigation with Priebus et al.

Seems to me that means the FBI is disqualified from conducting the investigation.

4. SUPPOSEDLY McCabe approached Priebus for a sideline.

On Friday, senior administration officials told reporters in a background briefing that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe first raised the stories with Priebus, pulling him aside during an early morning meeting on Feb. 15 at the White House to tell him that the New York Times report was "garbage."

According to an anonymous senior administration official, Priebus responded to the FBI's McCabe: "Okay, what am I supposed to do?" and "How do we fix this?"

According to a White House official, McCabe then talked to other officials at the FBI and determined there was nothing the FBI could do. FBI officials said they didn't want to get into the business of publicly parsing elements of news reports.

Someone who was on CNN last night with Blitzer said the same thing - McCabe had approached Priebus - not sure who he was sourcing though.

Anyway, I think it would be strange for Priebus to approach the FBI unless someone (McCabe) had said something.

Also realize this contact happened 10 days ago just after the reports broke. Who knows what they have uncovered since (if anything).

5. Welcome to DU...why I don't know ...gasp ...do you suppose the media made up Trump's

Russian ties...No they are finding facts if they want to find facts...Comey just threw away what was left of his career. We don't usually get people here attempting to exonerate the orange monster.

6. Do you think Comey sent McCabe to deliver message to Priebus and Trump White House?

That would be a disqualifier.

7. It's time for a special prosecutor.

Then let's see what happens when Dump pulls an "Archibald Cox".
