Barr Points to the True Culprit—Comey’s FBI Team

 Barr Points to the True Culprit—Comey’s FBI Team

Excerpt: Who within the FBI was responsible? Ever since Hillary Clinton’s possible criminal woes surfaced, James Comey went to unusual lengths to keep all of her investigations closely held in a tightly knit headquarters (“HQ”) cabal. Pushing out experienced HQ agents to retirement or other posts, Comey surrounded himself with selected, like-minded agents. The meteoric rise of Andrew McCabe from the Washington field office to headquarters and then quickly to Number Two, was unprecedented. Normally, as in Watergate, the Washington field office would be deeply entrenched in any Washington-based investigation, with Headquarters involvement as necessary. But all the Clinton and Trump investigations were kept in Headquarters, with Field Office agents tasked to perform non-sensitive tasks without input into confidential discussions. Some may have wondered why all investigations affecting political actors appear to have been handled by the same few agents—Comey, McCabe, Strzok. To be sure, as Horowitz describes, one unnamed case agent and one unnamed supervising special agent were also part of Comey’s tight HQ squad, but why were these same five individuals—getting legal advice from a handpicked sixth, Lisa Page—subordinated, unusually, to McCabe? The transparent motive of the team to whitewash Hillary Clinton’s obvious misdeeds (e.g., giving immunity without honest cooperation to those bludgeoning the subpoenaed Clinton server) was proven, ironically, by the delayed “re-opening” of the Clinton classified information investigation, until several days before the election, on October 28, 2016. [If this is true and accurate, it both explains and fits together with a lot of the other things that we know were going on at the same time. Now that Biden is the President-in-waiting, the most likely outcome is the media will simply lose all interest in the origin of the “Russian collusion” investigations of Trump. The Dem’s have succeeded in poisoning the well for the last four years. We need to make sure they pay a high price for that or they’ll do it again. Ron P.]
