FBI Rank and File to Testify Against Comey

FBI Rank and File to Testify Against Comey

No wonder James Comey decided to emerge from his rat hole to offer a new FBI encouragement.

Comey tweeted:

“Dangerous time when our country is led by those who will lie about anything, backed by those who will believe anything, based on information from media sources that will say anything. Americans must break out of that bubble and seek truth.”

Yes indeed, James Comey. And Americans have broken out of our bubbles and we know the truth.

Check Comey’s definition of “spy”.

“Facts matter. The FBI’s use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country. How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?”

No matter how Comey tries to spin things, he’s tiny nuts are caught in a vice.

On Friday May 11, 2018, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein. In that letter Grassley reiterated that Comey testified the FBI didn’t think General Flynn lied. 

Further, Grassley also revealed Joe Pientka was the second FBI agent who joined Peter Strzok on January 24th, 2017 ambush interview to take down General Flynn.

Next, Grassley demanded the FBI and DOJ produce the transcript of Flynn’s intercepted calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak and the related reports filed by the FBI agents to summarize interviews. These reports are called 302s.

We learned through the recently unredacted FBI-CYA portion of the House Intel report that Comey testified to House Intel members that the FBI agents who ambushed Flynn did not detect any deception. Also, the reports disclosed that the illegal leak of Flynn’s phone call with Kislyak is what the FBI/DOJ used to keep a counter-intel operation open on General Flynn.

The most interesting revelation in the letter is Grassley’s request that Special Agent Joe Pientka be available for a transcribed interview with Committee staff:

Accordingly, no later than May 25, 2018, please provide:

1. The information requested in our February 15, 2017 letter, including the transcripts of the
reportedly intercepted calls and any FBI reports summarizing them; and
2. The FBI agents’ 302s memorializing their interview of Flynn and 1A supporting docs,
including the agents’ notes.

In addition, please make Special Agent Joe Pientka available for a transcribed interview
with Committee staff no later than one week following the production of the requested
documents.

According to The Daily Caller, a few FBI rank and file agents want to testify.

Many agents in the FBI want Congress to subpoena them so they can reveal problems caused by former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, three people in direct contact with active field agents tell TheDC.

“There are agents all over this country who love the bureau and are sickened by [James] Comey’s behavior and [Andrew] McCabe and [Eric] Holder and [Loretta] Lynch and the thugs like [John] Brennan–who despise the fact that the bureau was used as a tool of political intelligence by the Obama administration thugs,” former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova told The Daily Caller Tuesday. “They are just waiting for a chance to come forward and testify.”

Consider that these FBI agents have remained silent up to now, so what has prompted the new stance? I suspect a few things.

It doesn’t hurt that the release of the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general report on how the FBI handled the Clinton email investigation was damning.

Moreover, the Era of Trump has empowered many agents. Put another way, the Obama Era of Corruption has ended, and the agents see the change. There is no better time than now to scuttle the ship.

I have warned on a number of occasions that many in the Obama administration will go down and hard. And it will lead to Obama.

The desperation is palpable in DC, and things will worsen for the Democrats.
