Nothing will come of it , just like epstein and all the rest.

Trump is really failing to bring anyone to justice.

Except for some low life criminal illegals.

They both need to be dragged through the legal system until penniless.

John Brennan is the CIA director who spied no the US Senate.

Thanks for opening the thread Op!

 

Comey has already been under criminal  investigation way before his 

8647 beach shenanigans.Comey must of been caught up in the Brennen lie some how!

 

In either case the good guys are building a case against the treasonous rats , Comey & Brennan!.

 

Time to fire Comey’s daughter from the DOJ , the Ditty case is practically over , she won’t have access to information involving her dad to pass along.

 

I love  to see them have to sell assets to pay for legal fees.

Brennan and Comey weren’t public servants, they were high-ranking operatives in a technocratic cabal disguised as a republic. They used the power of intelligence and law enforcement not to protect the nation, but to steer it politically. They represent a form of government where unelected insiders manipulate outcomes, shield themselves from accountability, and treat elections as obstacles, not mandates. This isn’t the rule of law, it’s the rule of narrative, enforced by the permanent state. Their actions didn’t just damage public trust, they exposed the machinery behind the curtain and proved the deep state isn’t a theory, it’s a feature.

Just like they had Epstein's client list until they didn't. I'm rapidly losing faith in the Justice dept.

It will be apparent one way or another whether if the investigation moves along expeditiously or drags on into the larger frame of the political Kabuki show.

Andy lied ( leftist media called it lacked candor) during a Congressional hearing.The dems got control of the Doj and gave a wink & nod to the traitors of Spygate.

Never in their wildest dreams did they suspect Trump would survive two assassination attempts and dems 

arresting him to become gatekeeper of

the Swamp

I think they're just confirming that Epstein was a CIA/Mossad asset. 

 

Looking forward to watching the 2+ hour Tucker Carlson discussion on the subject with Sagaar Enjeti.  Apparently, they dismiss the possibility that it implicates Trump because Team Biden/Harris would have leaked anything that did.

I thought Epstein was incarcerated where he ostensibly committed suicide.

I would suggest that: " that is something coming of it".

I also thought he had arrested and charged some senior members of the Judiciary.  Again I suggest: that s something coming of it".

Is he really dead ?

Don't be so sure.

 

When I wrote Epstein , I was pointing more to all who 

used his "services".

Justice comes in  many forms,even aces in a hole.

Trump administration got rid of many Inspectors generals . One he kept ,Horowitz .

He found many “significant inaccuracies and omissions”.

All this baseless noise just to get the focus of the naive population off of the Epstein list,

Trump sure looks like he's kissing Epstein's ass.

[Wingate]

Let the ignorant cult members speak first here. None of you knows anything.

 

This is simply POTUS' fascism not so cleverly trying to masquerade as legality. It's the petulant little child trying to have his way because others did their job and told the truth. (By the way, I suspect the next "investigation" might be of SecState Rubio, as will be noted later.)

 

The clowns have spent 8.5 years trying to change reality re Russiagate. In his first term POTUS appointed Durham to "investigate", the goal being not to find the truth, but to find enemies to prosecute. A few years and $7.6 million was spent trying to find something to indict Brennan and Comey. Durham not only gave them a clean bill of health, and he stated everything had been done "by the book". Oh, and not a single investigator under Durham cared about the facts of actual campaign-Russia cooperation. When they were handed classified intel that noted such things---as came in via liaison or human clandestine sources, even SIGINT---they said they were not interested in that.

 

The two Congressional intel committees released reports. The senate report, released by a Republican-controlled SSCI, and chaired by now SecState Rubio, not only concluded the investigation showed zero evidence of any attempts to politicize it, the SSCI report also noted actual evidence of cooperation between the 2016 campaign and Russia (Campaign Chair Manafort's trip to Spain to pass internal polling data to GRU asset Konstantin Kilimnik, who handed the data to the GRU's Internet Research Agency, who subsequently microtargeted voters in key swing States with made-up stories about Clinton and other Dems.). I bet Rubio is now trying to pretend he just took over the job near the SSCI Report completion, because the previous SSCI Chair---Senator Burr---had just stepped down and Rubio was raised to Chair. Rubio, as well as any Senator who served on SCCI, knows the actual truth, not the MAGA Fake Truth.

 

At that time, a DoJ prosecutor, in response to the actual witch hunt to get Brennan and Comey, wrote:

 

"I expect that eventually you will find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion".

 

Now they have. DCI Ratcliff and the sycophants he dragged into the agency, have concocted a referral, sent to DoJ, which is the basis of this absurdity.

 

There is a lot of intel re Russiagate that remains classified, but is damning to POTUS and his 2016 team. I expect true patriots in the agency will "leak" some of it. I suspect the bureau has lots more, as right from the initial receipt of intel re cooperation with Russia (from both foreign liaison intel services and human clandestine sources) the agency, via John Brennan, sent everything to the bureau and made a Bigot List within the agency to both limit and monitor any agency knowledge of the investigation. 100% of any investigation was done by the bureau, as the agency mandate demands any matter involving a US Citizen be turned over to the bureau. The agency was merely a receptacle for intel, as liaison and clandestine sources provided intel.

 

I have known John for many years and occasionally socialize with him. I had suggested to him---well aware of the fascist plans of POTUS and his minions---that should re-election happen, John should leave the country he served and loves, because as Sinclair Lewis wrote, "It Can Happen Here".

 

There is clearly a pattern in this Administration of retribution. Look at all the FBI agents fired because they investigated either Russiagate or the terrorists who attacked the US Capitol on 6 Jan 2021. Look at all the DoJ prosecutors fired because they investigated and prosecuted the 6 Jan terrorists. Some are even being investigated (as POTUS suggested they should when he gave a speech at DoJ discussing, inter alia, 6 January 2021 and the subsequent convictions). What might be a term for that....oh yea, weaponization of justice.

 

POTUS and MAGA ALWAYS project. When they claim "weaponization", it just means that is what they do, as they have no evidence any weaponization of justice occurred in the past. Today "justice" is punishment in search of a crime.

 

MAGAs might like all of this, but that is because justice and democracy, as well as the actual ideals on which the US is based, are anathema to them.

A swamp rat would be any piece of human trash working to undermine the civility of the republic like comey and Brennen. Who are your favorite swamp rats?
