Hillary Clinton appears to have blackmailed FBI Director James Comey into letting her walk free, after she found out about their wiretapping of Donald Trump. With the Obamagate scandal threatening a full Congressional inquiry into the Obama administration and Justice Department, new allegations have come to light that suggests Hillary took full advantage of the situation for her own selfish benefit.
Congress has opened an investigation into the FBI’s ties with a disgraced former British spy who supplied a fake Russian dossier to try and bring down Trump’s presidency. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassly is leading an inquiry into claims that the FBI hired former MI6 spy Christopher Steele to produce unverified and salacious claims about President Trump. In a scathing letter to FBI Director James Comey, Grassley claims that Steele was a Democrat plant tasked with stopping Trump from taking office.
It took less than 24 hours for republicans to strike back at James Comey's unexpected revolt against Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon, when as the NYT first reported the FBI director had demanded that the DOJ reject Trump's accusations it was wiretapping the Trump Tower (the DOJ has still not done so, and questions are still being asked why Comey himself did not do as he requested especially since any FISA court order would have come from the FBI).
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) appeared on Fox's First 100 Days Thursday evening after a closed door briefing earlier in the day by FBI director James Comey concerning the agency's investigation into claims of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The interview begins with host Martha MacCallum mentioning that Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA), who attended the same meeting, was "rattled" over the lack of information Comey gave concerning Russian involvement in the election.
The FBI has announced that claims suggesting Donald Trump was in contact with Russian officials before the election are “complete bullshit.” Following reports that White House Chief-of-staff Reince Priebus asked the FBI to dispute allegations of Russian interferance, senior administration officials insist that the FBI came to Priebus to express their contempt for the Trump-Russia allegations, which appear to have been invented by the Democrats.
