IG Report Highlights FBI Counterspy Failings
The newly released IG report from Michael Horowitz is showing just how far our once-fine FBI agency has fallen.
The newly released IG report from Michael Horowitz is showing just how far our once-fine FBI agency has fallen.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded in his report that, although many FBI officials involved in the Hillary Clinton email investigation harbored intense anti-Trump bias, he found no “evidence” that it affected their key decisions in the case. The abundant circumstantial evidence cited in the report, as well as his testimony before Congress this week, point to the opposite conclusion.
In its extensive report on the Hillary Clinton email probe, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog raised significant questions about why the FBI did not examine the contents of Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s private email accounts and did not seek to obtain Abedin’s personal devices to determine whether classified information was exchanged.
The inspector general for the Department of Justice, Michael Horowitz, revealed that former FBI director James Comey is under investigation for his handling — or rather, mishandling — of classified information.
The same FBI agent who had questioned Hillary Clinton about her email server scandal was actually calling her “the president” four days earlier, and four months before the election. Conflict of interest, anyone?
The report is oddly reminiscent of Comey’s Hillary Clinton exoneration statement.
This is treason at the FBI. Heads must roll.
About That FBI ‘source’:
Did the bureau engage in outright spying against the 2016 Trump campaign?
What evidence do they provide that anyone who attacked a mosque was ever influenced by anything I have written? None, of course, because there is no such evidence.
Turns out, Andrew McCabe, the disgraced and fired deputy director of the FBI, had been investigating Attorney General Jeff Sessions about a year ago for “lack of candor” while testifying to Congress. “Lack of candor,” if you recall, was the reason McCabe was fired.
The “official” narrative you’ve been fed by the FBI and Las Vegas officials about the massacre at Mandalay Bay that claimed 58 lives is purely fiction, a polished story contrived to cover up the disturbing facts surrounding the worst mass shooting ever in the United States, according the FBI insiders and high-ranking intelligence officials.
US law enforcers aren’t trained to detect Islamic radicals, which enabled a suspected Al-Qaeda-linked jihadist to remain off the radar in America for seven years, attorney Jennifer Breedon told RT.
In new court filings in a case related to the 2015 attack on a “Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas, the government is now saying that a text message to “Tear Up Texas” sent from an undercover FBI agent to one of the terrorists who ultimately carried out the attack was “innocuous.”
But the FBI failed to state a court rule, statute or “good cause” to prevent all discovery.
The teenager had threatened multiple times online to kill “Zionists” for crimes against Islam, the FBI said.
In addition to being in close to the exhibit around the time of the attack, the undercover agent was in communication with Simpson before Simpson and Soofi opened fire, filings show. An FBI affidavit filed in support of Hendricks’ arrest in August 2016 noted that the agent, while talking to Simpson, told him to “tear up Texas” more than a week prior to the Garland art exhibit shooting.
Florida lawmakers are calling for Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel to resign, saying he — along with members of the FBI — were negligent in their duties during the assault on the Parkland high school that left 17 students and staffers dead. It’s looking more and more like it’s law enforcement’s fault, not the NRA;s — yes?
Geller Report readers are long-familiar with this gross miscarriage of justice.
It has always been painfully obvious that disgraced FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe didn’t resign over text-gate or “Trump and Republican criticism”. Now it all makes sense.
The bottom line is that President Obama and the DNC colluded with the FBI and the DOJ to sabotage President Trump before and after the election. High treason.
This scandal is so huge, if properly pursued, will end the Democrat party.
They did more than favor Democrats. They weaponized these agencies against dissent.
“The FBI’s argument is ridiculous. For one thing, they’ve shifted the argument. They used to say it was sources and methods. Now they’re saying basically that it would be material embarrassing to us. This is the Col. Jessup argument from A Few Good Men. The American people can’t handle the truth.”
The Department of Justice and the FBI said they had “grave concerns” over releasing the FISA memo to the American public on Wednesday. As well they should be. I wouldn’t expect the DoJ or the FBI to welcome a document outlining their absolute corruption and abuse of power.
Transparency to the Democrats is like the silver bullet to Dracula.
Long, long overdue.
Two Michigan residents attended a BRIDGES meeting hosted by the Detroit office of the FBI recently that left them stunned by the level of Islamist infiltration at the Bureau.
Robert Mueller, while director of the FBI, helped with the government’s cover-up of a Saudi family in Florida tied to the September 11 terror attacks, according to court documents.
The security guard wounded in ISIS-inspired attack at the free speech event I organized in Garland, Texas sued the FBI because they knew of attack ahead of time, but did nothing. Now the FBI and the DoJ are trying to get his case dismissed.
The Justice Department on Tuesday provided five congressional committees with copies of 375 text messages exchanged between counterintelligence investigator Peter Strzrok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The Washington Times obtained copies of the messages, which stretch from August 2015 through December 2016.
Peter Strzok’s texts to his to his girlfriend, Lisa Page, with whom he was engaging in an extramarital affair, expose what a Trump hater he was. At the time, Lisa Page worked for Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The pro-Clinton McCabe is also under scrutiny …….
While Islamic supremacists and their left elite media lapdogs pimp the isalmophobia narrative, reality if far different. Jewish Americans have bee the victim of the majority of religiously motivated hate crimes continuously since 1996, the earliest year for which the FBI has reported statistics. The number of hate crimes targeting Jews have increased year-on-year for the past two years. 2015 saw a 9 percent increase over the preceding year, and 2016’s 20 percent bump confirms this change in trend.
Another jihad murderer who was previously known to authorities. This is a pattern now. If Nazis were plotting and planning violence and war in America during the 1940s would they have been allowed to roam the country? How is this any different? It’s WAR.
The confirmation this week that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid an opposition-research firm for a “dossier” on Donald Trump is bombshell news. More bombshells are to come.The Journal’s editorial argues that the FBI’s role in such controversies now needs to be investigated. Mueller served as FBI Director between 2001 and 2013, so he led the FBI at the same time the Uranium One deal was being debated and approved.
Jesus Campos is the security guard who was shot by Stephen Paddock at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on October 1, according to police. However, recent developments in the investigation have changed the timeline of events on that terrifying night, leading to some serious questions about Campos and what really happened that bloody night.
Newsweek has picked up on something I have been writing about for the past week. The FBI’s devastating failure to look seriously at the ISIS claim to the Las Vegas attack may very well be part of ISIS’s plan to discredit the FBI.
Read my article in the American Thinker.
The idea floated by ‘intel’ agencies that Steven Paddock didn’t fit the profile of a Muslim convert is absurd on its face and further proof that the keystone clowns and their “profilers” at the FBI haven’t a clue. How can they profile what they refuse to acknowledge, learn about or recognize?
If previous FBI history of jihad terror investigations is any indication, it’s that they are incompetent or complicit. Whatever their motives, they are deeply compromised and clearly the worst agency to lead this Vegas investigation.
“The FBI did not alert numerous Americans that they were placed on secret Islamic State kill lists or notify their local police about the potential dangers, a lapse in the government’s efforts to combat the terrorist group’s evolving strategy to target everyday citizens.” This is inexcusable. The feds under Obama have become thoroughly corrupted. A…
