B-Man Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 5 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: Josh Campbell is Comey's shield. He's on CNN specifically to lie to the American public and provide cover for Jake Tapper and the coup. He's not a good source for factual information (or opinion). He's dirty, dirty, dirty. WHY DID CNN HIRE COMEY’S FORMER ASSISTANT JOSH CAMPBELL? by Saagar Enjeti & Joe Simonson CNN’s decision to hire former FBI Director James Comey’s assistant disturbs veteran members of the bureau, former agents told The Daily Caller News Foundation. The relationship between former FBI agent Josh Campbell, the cable news network and Campbell’s seemingly close history with former boss James Comey, have raised a number of questions from these agents over the propriety of Campbell’s new job. “What can [Campbell] contribute? I don’t think that he would be someone who could offer any type of, really, knowledge about what law enforcement analysts are, because, what is his experience?” said former Special Agent Jack Garcia, a 26 year FBI veteran “Something smells so bad about this whole thing.” Garcia and another 25 year veteran of the FBI noted to The DCNF that Campbell’s mere 10 year career was largely marked by time spent at headquarters and that he lacked field knowledge to accurately represent the bureau. Campbell’s last job in the FBI was spent in a media relations role out of the Los Angeles field office. {snip} Individuals who worked at the FBI during Campbell’s time greatly dispute this characterization. One former 25-year veteran agent, who asked The DCNF to remain nameless, said Campbell, 34, “did the minimal amount of time he could before retiring. Any idea that he is some seasoned agent … is ludicrous — he just isn’t that.” “He sees himself as a star. He hasn’t been part of our brotherhood, he doesn’t understand how we feel.” More at the link: https://dailycaller.com/2018/02/09/cnn-josh-campbell-james-comey/ 2

B-Man Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 TRUMP’S MCCARTHYITE ENEMIES McCarthyism” is a charge Democrats like to level against those who make allegations that make them uncomfortable. But Robert Merry, a journalist, publisher, and presidential historian, exposes the McCarthyism in the Democrats’ treatment of President Trump. Merry’s argument is predicated on a key, but generally overlooked, point about McCarthyism. The problem with it wasn’t that there was no reason to believe communists had penetrated our government. Communist penetration was, in fact, a valid concern. As Merry notes, a few weeks before McCarthy’s first anticommunism rant, Alger Hiss, accused of passing secret U.S. documents to a Soviet spy when he was a high-level government official, was convicted of perjury. Two weeks later, the government reported that Klaus Fuchs, a British physicist who had worked at the Los Alamos atomic-weapons facility during the war, had been arrested as a Soviet spy. The problem with McCarthyism was that, in addressing this real concern, Joe McCarthy dispensed with standards of evidence. Thus, says Merry, “McCarthyism is about how people behave even when there is reason for concern or even alarm, as there was in McCarthy’s day.” Applying this analysis to the Russia collusion investigation, Merry identifies the McCarthyism of certain Trump critics. There may have been a basis for investigating whether Trump had troubling connections with Russia, but this did not justify prejudging Trump without regard for standards of evidence. Those who did so were guilty of McCarthyism. Merry names names: Adam Schiff, the California Democrat and ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee (now chairman), said he had “plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy”—and, he added, this was “more than circumstantial evidence.” Given Mueller’s ultimate conclusion on the same question, with all of the investigative resources at his command, one has to wonder what evidence Schiff was talking about. Meanwhile, another California Democrat, Eric Swalwell, accused Trump of being an “agent” of Russia. He added, by way of elaboration, “he certainly acts on Russia’s behalf.” These sensationalist unfounded allegations fit the definition of McCarthyism. So do statements by James Clapper and John Brennan. Merry recalls: {snip} No evidence supported these over-the-top charges. Robert Mueller so concluded. Brennan and Clapper engaged in McCarthyism. So did the many journalists and commentators, cable news talking heads, editors and writers for major publications, and Democratic members of Congress who, in Merry’s words, “all assumed the worst and spread the nasty word with abandon, absent any serious proof.” More at the Link: 2

The imagery the headline implies notwithstanding, this article seems spot on to me. The president, on the receiving end of lies and innuendo for 50%+ of his presidency, authorizes the AG to get to the bottom of how this all went down. CIA operatives suggest they will comply, but only when they want to. Gee, that doesn't sound like a recipe for disaster in a free society. As far as I'm concerned, this moment in time allows the people to reset the rules for the good of the country. Where there was wrongdoing, publicize. Where there were dirty ops, let's detail them. If Brennan deserves jail time, no better way to send a message to all that follow that you cannot #%*# over the American people and get away with it. And, if he does not deserve jail time but was incompetent boob who :/-#ed over the American people because he followed bread crumbs that did not exist, well, let's get that out as well. 2
