HOW CORRUPT IS FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT?
by Sharon Rondeau
(Jan. 25, 2018) — In discussing the DOJ-recovered text messages of FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page said to have been lost last Friday, “Hannity” host Sean Hannity announced at approximately 9:24 p.m. EST that one of Strzok’s text messages to Page admitted to withholding FBI witness reports known as “302s” from members of Congress in the course of its investigations into alleged political bias within upper management of the agency.
It has taken months for the House Permanent Subcommittee on Intelligence to obtain documents it requested from the FBI and its oversight agency, the U.S. Justice Department, associated with a number of investigations into those tasked with investigating alleged political crimes on the part of Trump, his campaign aides, and Trump’s presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.
After making his opening statement, Hannity hosted Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-VA), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who is retiring after the 2018 midterm elections. Goodlatte agreed that the recovered text messages appear to show political bias within the highest echelons of the FBI which could have affected the outcome of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
Prior to Goodlatte’s appearance, former White House adviser Dr. Sebastian Gorka said that there were “12 people” involved in FBI upper-level conversations centered on political considerations, including Strzok and Page.
At 9:39 p.m. EST, investigative journalist Sara Carter appeared on the program to say that her sources within the FBI said that the “glitches” supposedly responsible for not retaining the text messages between Strzok and Page emanated from “lies.”
Carter additionally reported that her sources have said that “there is so much more to be revealed” regarding corruption within the FBI.
There are reportedly tens of thousands of text messages exchanged between Strzok and Page yet to be released to the public, although Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley released dozens on Thursday evening in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, some of which were highlighted by Hannity.
In response to a New York Times report issued on Thursday evening that Trump had intended to dismiss Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III last June but held back after his White House Counsel, Don McGahn, allegedly threatened to quit if that were to occur, legal analyst Gregg Jarrett expressed doubt because of the story’s “anonymous sources.”
Since the beginning of the Trump administration one year ago, The Times and its rival, The Washington Post, have often cited unnamed sources in their articles, which often remain uncorroborated. The two “mainstream” outlets have been noted by many, including Trump, to display a strong left-leaning orientation and animus toward Trump.
For the past year, the DOJ’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, has been investigating allegations of political bias within the FBI, including on the part of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and is expected to release his final report in the near future.
Strzok was serving as FBI deputy head of counterintelligence when Mueller reportedly removed him after some of his text messages with Page showing an anti-Trump bias came to light. Page also reportedly worked on Mueller’s team, which is reportedly investigating alleged coordination between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign to help Trump win the presidential election as well as Russia’s reported “meddling” in other ways in the election.
Strzok interviewed Clinton in early July 2016 just before then-FBI Director James Comey announced that she would not be criminally prosecuted for mishandling classified information on her non-secure private server.
Some have opined that the release of the Strzok/Page texts was a breach of their privacy rights.
Early last month, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes threatened the DOJ and FBI with contempt-of-Congress citations for “withholding details about why a top FBI investigator [Strzok] was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the presidential campaign.”
The threat was followed by the DOJ’s turning over, albeit reluctantly, of “a broad range of documents” associated with the “Russia” investigations and the now-infamous “Trump dossier.”
The names of several DOJ and FBI officials appearing in a December 3, 2017 article by The Daily Caller were reported by Hannity and other sources on Thursday as also appearing in a four-page, classified memo first viewed by Nunes’s committee followed by other members of the House of Representatives detailing extreme abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Some in Congress are calling for its immediate declassification and release to the public, while others, largely Democrats, are minimizing its importance and calling for restraint.
As Obama birth certificate investigator Mike Zullo has frequently said on recent radio interviews, after his five-year probe found conclusive evidence that Barack Hussein Obama’s “long-form” birth certificate and Selective Service registration form are fraudulent, there was “nowhere to turn” with the information because federal law-enforcement agencies were wholly compromised.
“This was a coordinated effort between the White House, the DOJ, the FBI, the Secret Service, and Selective Service, and mainstream media, to kill this issue,” Zullo told “Freedom Friday” host Carl Gallups on December 2.
Both Mueller and Comey served respective terms as FBI Director while the long-form birth certificate image was posted at whitehouse.gov “with the intent to deceive,” as Zullo has described it.
Great post Tom Arnold,
Hannity, Rush, Levin, Beck, Ingraham and many other, “conservative”, talking heads still refuse to address the issue which could drain the swamp very quickly. Even in their criticism of the leftist they continue to protect themselves by not speaking of and demanding the truth about Barry.
This is the apparent, “crime too big to prosecute”, which occurred the moment Obama was allowed to be sworn in back in 2009. Congress became guilty of giving America’s government and her military to the enemy. Obama is protected to protect the many complicit in his usurpation.
Sebastian Gorka, last night on “Hannity,” said (what to me is the obvious) that all indications in our country’s current public corruption problems point back to BARACK OBAMA. Gorka called it “OBAMAGATE.”
Hannity immediately changed the subject and, if I remember correctly, went to one of his other guests Herman Cain.
LATER, FOX RAN A SUB-TITLE STREAMER ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WHICH SAID “MUELLERGATE!” I guess Hannity and FNC are still covering for Barry (remember when Hannity and Ailes disinvited Sheriff Joe and/or Mike Zullo who had information that they, Hannity and Ailes, were afraid to talk about to their viewing public).
And, the CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS which began in 2007-08 continues to rip at the heart of our democratic republic and system of law and order (supposedly applied equally to all).
God (not Allah) help us all! We’re going to need it! One more note- I am hearing Rush Limbaugh on the radio in my wife’s room next to the office where I am sitting at the computer. El Rushbo is another pompous so-called journalist (like Hannity and FOX NEWS) who is too afraid to tell We, The People, the entire SICK TREASONOUS TRUTH.
They are all now trying to save their legacies with their endless conservative chatter, but they are falling short of telling the whole story.
VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY TODAY, AND MUCH OF WHAT IS WRONG AROUND THE WORLD, IS A RESULT OF THE TREASONOUS ACTS COMMITTED BY BARRY SOETORO WHO STOLE THE U. S. PRESIDENCY TWICE (while Hannity, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and other quasi-patriots stood by in silent complicity).
Tom Arnold.
Ditto that Gary, and it gets worse. Even states like Texas are corrupt in that they too refused to even hear evidence that candidates for president were lying about their qualifications even though proof enough to question their legitimacy was public and evident.
The Obama corruption, as planned, began on day one of his fake presidency. He quickly placed his Czars in various positions throughout his regime to report back to him about who they could trust and who they could not. I believe many personnel changes took place because of this information. The biggest factor in making this possible, even easy, was the fact that neither Obama, or any of his Czars or other “employees”, were required to have a background security check….which many, if not most, would have failed. Obama as senator and as the fake president never had to have a background security check. It’s not required of the President, VP, members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices or “employees” of the president or vice president. This is very significant, yet it is rarely mentioned and many still ask, “How did, “whoever”, get a security clearance?”. The answer is usually they were simply given one due to this being allowed by executive order. Executive Order 13467 on this subject was signed by GWB in June of 2008, and mandated by Congress to be in effect by January of 2009…..just in time for Barry. This was a huge factor in the ease of Obama’s takeover from the inside out, but people still ask how, for example, Valerie Jarrett and members of the Muslim Brotherhood working in the White House, got a security clearance. Go here and read page 7 of this Congressional Research Service document for verification of what I wrote. it will only take a moment. Without this absurd condition there would have been no fake president Obama and America would not have suffered 8 years of destruction by a regime that hates her Constitution and most of her people.

How corrupt? I will tell you. So corrupt that when the FBI, the DOJ and courts were provided evidence that aka Obama was constitutionally ineligible, had a stolen SSN, a forged birth certificate and and a backdated selective service registration they sold out their country. Traitors all. For what?
