FBI director Jim Comey has seen
the improbable happen; Donald Trump has just won the Republican nominee to run
against Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. At this moment, he vows to himself that he
will make sure President-nominee Trump never becomes President Trump. He calls in two of his most trusted
employees, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and makes Strzok the lead counsel in the
mission to take down Donald Trump. In
addition to them, Comey has put together
a kabal of people with the same mission in mind.
In the end, despite their best
efforts, they fail. When Donald Trump
becomes President Trump, Comey’s group each call him in a panic about what’s
going to happen to them. Comey tells
them all the same thing. He tells them
all that none of them will go down for this.
He points out that people like Hillary Clinton have put together this
deep swamp state and have turned the Department of Justice into a liberal
mafia. He reassures them that this
network of influence was not built overnight and it cannot be dissolved in four
years. So even if now President Trump finds out about all they did to illegally
spy on him and paint him as a Russia spy, he won’t be able to prosecute. Comey adds that although Trump is a
billionaire, they have multiple millionaires and billionaires on their sides
and all of their power, influence and capital will go to making sure that there
are no ramifications for the entrapment and attempt to sabotage a sitting
United State’s President.
Now that Comey’s original goal to stop
him from being president has failed, he comes up with another idea. He decides he’s going to get close to
President Trump and take detailed memos and notes on the conversation. On January 6, 2019, Jim Comey goes to Trump
Tower to meet with the President-elect.
He has already read a dossier he thinks was written by a trusted FBI
informant, Christopher Steele. In
reality, it was written by Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS who was paid by Hillary
Clinton through a law firm named Perkine Coie to dig up oppositional research
on Trump. One of the allegations in the
dossier is that when Trump was in Moscow, he attended an event in a hotel room
where prostitutes were giving Golden Shower shows. Comey doesn’t bother verifying the
information. Steele did good work on the
FIFA corruption scandal so naturally assumes this was good work too. Technically he’s supposed to take the
information and put it through the Woods procedure. That is just an official name to mean sending
it to Britain, New Zealand, Canada and Australia to see if their
counterintelligence divisions can verify it.
Comey does none of this. His way
of verifying it is to get the President to offer information that is only found
in the dossier. He states “Mr.
President-elect, I just want you to know that there is a dossier circulating
alleging that while you were in Russia for the Miss Universe pageant, there was
an incident with a prostitute in a hotel room.
It’s not a big deal; we’ve determined these allegations to be salacious
and unverified.”
“I don’t know what they’re
talking about. When I was in Moscow for
that trip, I was only there for like 39 hours and almost all of them were in
business meeting with a business man over there.”
“So you’re not aware of a
prostitute coming to the hotel that you were staying?”
“Not all”
“Sir, it’s important that you
tell me. We need to get ahead of
this. I’m here to help you.”
“All my time was spent with a
man who I can assure you is not a hooker.”
“Alright, that’ is what I
thought sir. Like I said, I believe this
information to be salacious and unverified.”
Comey returns to his home and
writes a memo about his meeting with Donald Trump carefully and diligently
documenting everything that happened. As
he’s writing it, one of his close group of people that is involved in the
conspiracy asks, “Sir, should we really be documenting this? I mean what if someone reads these memos? It lays out how we tried to set up and take
down the President of the United States.”
“That is never going to
happen. I have contingencies set up to
make sure nobody ever reads them. I know
how to cover my ass and be completely free of culpability. Trust me, I know what I’m doing.’
“Are you going to classify
them?”
“Not yet”
“What do you mean?”
“The order of things is very
important here. Everything is going to
be revealed shortly, don’t worry. The
staffer leaves Comey to his memos. In
all, Comey will write seven memos. He
calls a friend of his, Daniel Richards and says, “Hey Dan, Jim”
“Hey Jim, what can I do for
you?”
“I’m going to send you some
memos of me meeting with the president.
I need you to give them to the media.”
“Why can’t you do it?”
“it’s illegal if I do it.”
“So, why isn’t illegal if I do
it?”
“Because after you leak it, I’m
going to classify them. I’m then going
to hire you as my personal lawyer so that you are not legally obligated to
reveal anything due to attorney client privilege.”
“Also, as the FBI director’s
personal lawyer, I get security clearance so you are not culpable for leaking
the memos to me.”
“Now you’re getting it.”
“I must say that is a genius
plan.”
“What else did you expect?”
Comey’s voice had a tinge of sarcasm in it but Richmond thought that Comey
actually did believe he was a genius, thus always had genius plans. Richmond hung up the phone complicit in
Comey’s overt act to shield himself from culpability if it ever comes out what
he did to Trump.
Comey gives the memos to
Richmond and then Richmond gives it to the media. Comey then calls together a meeting with
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who are now having an affair because of all the
time they’ve spent together the last couple months trying to make the
President’s term a living hell. The
meeting is about which memos they should declare classified. This is odd because the very people that are
most culpable for the underhanded tactics these memos reveal, are the ones
meeting to see what can be shared.
Strzok says, “What about Memo 2”
“I gave it to Daniel and he’s
giving it to the media.”
Page inquires, “Which one is
that?”
“That one makes sure that Trump
doesn’t have his guard up. I went to
Trump tower and told him that he wasn’t under investigation.”
“So you lied to the President?”
Page responds
“Yes I did but sometimes you
have to protect POTUS (President of the United States) from himself.”
“What did he say?”
“He asked me if I could
investigate his satellite officers because it would be good to know if any of
them are in bed with the Russians.”
“How did you respond?”
“That it was up to him. I just wanted to be clear that people don’t
misconstrue what I’m doing.”
“But they aren’t. They think you’re investigating the President
and you are.”
“I understand that but I don’t
want others to understand that. I want
people who think that to be shamed by their peers. It will be a hell of a social media
advertizing campaign but we can do it.”
Strzok got the meeting back on
track with, “What about Memo 3?”
“That’s the one about the FISA
orders. I think we should classify that
one.”
“I agree. Did you release it to Dan?”
“No, and nobody is going to let
him know that. The FISA could hurt us
because we used knowingly false information to obtain FISAs on a lot of
people. That one doesn’t get leaked. “
“Alright, so did you just give
it to Dan?”
“No, I leaked them to three
people. None of them are media sources
so if shit hits the fan, we’ll keep the narrative that it’s leaks to the media
that’s illegal. That way I will be
cleared of any wrongdoing since I didn’t leak to the media. I leaked to people who then leaked to the
media.”
Page chimes in, “Let’s make sure
that we’re all on the same page. There
are seven memos. (1) Trump Tower
briefing about the dossier but telling him not to worry about it. (2) Dinner in the green room. The needed loyalty and expected loyalty. This is where Trump tells you to investigate
Russian collusion with his satellites.
(3) White House meet and greet and the FISA information (4) Oval Office
homeland threat briefing and the Mike Flynn firing (5) Trump calls you to check
in (6) Lifting the cloud about the incorrectly marked secret document at your
house and (7) Another phone call about lifting the cloud.”
“That’s correct. All of them are FOUO (For Official Use Only).”
Shortly after this meeting,
Comey is fired as FBI director. On July
29, 2017, a series of texts between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok are declassified
and released talking about how they, in cooperation with the Obama White House,
tried to set up and stop Donald Trump from being president. All of them are fired from the FBI for these
revelations. In public, Comey will admit
that the President can fire him for any reason he wants. In fact, he explains, he doesn’t even need a
reason. In private, he is fuming. The three of them are once again meeting but
this time Comey doesn’t seem in control.
He has been ranting and Stzok replies, “Calm down, we took
precautions. Hillary and Obama still
control the DOJ so none of us will go to jail.”
Comey rejoins, “I don’t care if
I go to jail for a couple years. It’s
federal prison so it’s not a big deal.
Aside from that, if I go to jail for trying to take down a racist president,
then I will be a hero in jail. I will by
a martyr and everyone will want to hire me when I get out.”
“So, why are you upset?”
“I’ve been humiliated. Nobody is going to hire me now. My reputation is all I have. It’s my name and now it’s being dragged
through the mud by that bully. This is devastating
to us.”
“Us? How do you think I feel? My marriage was ruined by this.”
Page looks back and forth and
wonders if Strzok forgot that she was in the room. Comey continues, “I can’t believe he stripped
me of my power. This isn’t the end. I’m going to set up a special counsel to
specifically investigate him for Russian collusion. I have to call Andy McCabe, he can get it
done.”
There is more
ranting back and forth and then Comey leaves and calls McCabe to set up a
special counsel to investigate the president and everyone that works for
him. It will go on for over two years
and the council will be headed by former FBI director Bob Mueller and several
people who worked for, or is closely tied to, Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton. Andy McCabe made it happen and
even though he would tell people that there was no effort to obstruct the
investigation, including the firing of Jim Comey, the Mueller probe would
expand its scope to exactly that. Shortly
after being fired, FBI officials arrive at Comey’s house asking if he has any
of the memos in his house. He refuses
and says that he doesn’t have them.
When Mueller finds no evidence
of collusion and asks newly appointed attorney general Bill Barr to decide
about obstruction, Barr becomes suspicious just how this Russian collusion
investigation started. He quickly
determines that McCabe was right; there was no effort to obstruct the
investigation in any way, let alone by Donald Trump. In fact, Comey’s memos cleared the president
of obstruction since President Trump asked him to investigate and Comey lied
and told him he wasn’t under investigation.
How do you obstruct an investigation that you’re not even aware exists?
Bill Barr speaks to inspector
General Horrowitz and appoints Jeff Durham to investigate the origins of the
Russian collusion investigation. After a
couple months, Horrowitz calls Barr and says, “Sir, I have finished my
investigation.”
“Alright, what did you find?”
“Well as you know the FBI has to
report any knowledge of classified information being leaked to anyone.”
“I do know that”
“Well Comey didn’t tell anyone
that he leaked his memos to his lawyers.
He violated the terms of conditions of his FBI employment.”
“That’s true but I’m not sure
it’s enough for me to go to court with.”
“There were three crimes that
were committed during the course of this investigation. The first is there were leaks of classified
information to the Washington Post.
Also, Mike Flynn’s conversation with Ambassador Kislayek was leaked
illegally to the Washington Post and finally the material misrepresentation to
the FISA court.”
“And Comey is responsible for
all three?”
“No, there is no evidence that
Jim Comey leaked any classified information to the media; Washington Post or
otherwise.”
“Alright”
“With that said, I would
recommend that you prosecute.”
“Well, before we get to that
conclusion. Let’s go through all the
information. Did you look into his
memos?”
“I did”
“What did you find?”
“Comey told me that they were
personal notes” he said dispassionately
“I take it you don’t believe
that.”
“No, and I have evidence”
“Let’s hear it”
“When I interviewed McCabe, he
referred to them as a record of Comey’s official correspondence with the
President as his role as FBI director.”
“So, it is an official FBI
document, it’s not personal.”
- “I’m not done”
“Don’t hold back on my account”
“Even after Comey was fired, he
called the FBI and insisted that the memos be part of the FBI record.”
“Despite that, he still tries to
tell us that they were for personal use only”
“Did anyone else comment on
this?”
“Yes, lower level members of the
investigation, Baker and Rybicki all took the memos as official FBI
records. They both claim that Comey never
referred to them as personal memos to them nor did they hear anyone else say
that or Comey tell anyone that.”
“You’ve been busy.”
“Just to put a cherry on top,
Bill Priestep said they viewed the memos as an FBI work product by the director
in an official capacity.”
“It sounds like the FBI is
turning on each other.”
“Yea, they’re all worried that
they’re going down. The upper level
people are very well protected but the lower level people are scared shitless.”
“It seems like you thoroughly
disproved that these memos were personal rather than an official FBI record.”
“I did. It’s clear that Comey disseminating the memos
to non-government officials is a blatant violation of his FBI employment
agreement. That’s why I think you should
prosecute.”
“He didn’t really do anything
illegal. Violating the terms of his FBI
agreement is bad policy but not illegal.
He leaked the memos to his lawyers but he gave them security clearance
and technically the memos weren’t classified when he gave it to them. It seems he got other people to break the law
for him. I don’t think there’s enough
for court. I may prove in court that
these memos are official FBI record but so what? This case is a loser.”
“Well, I’m disappointed to hear
that sir and respectfully disagree.”
“Comey wants to go to
court. He wants a judge to clear him so
he can gloat. I’m not going to give him
that satisfaction. I encourage you to
release your report to the public.
Excoriate and chastise Comey for all the things he did that was against
FBI policy and practice. The whole
Mueller probe started because his colleagues were upset he got fired. Have your report prove why he was fired. As for actual legal prosecution, this isn’t
the fight. Perhaps the FISA abuse will
be what finally nails him in court but I’m sorry this isn’t it. You will get your chance to humiliate and
smear his name. I think that is worse to
him than prison because he’s a pretentious, arrogant sociopath.”
“That’s a fair compromise.”
Inspector General Horrowitz takes
Barr’s advice and releases his reports condemning Comey in no uncertain
terms. All Comey focuses on is that part
that says he didn’t leak to the media.
He gloats and brags about being cleared but other people read the entire
83 page report that talks about the shady things he did that violated FBI
policy. Comey, however, didn’t get to
where he was without friends. Media
member Ben Wittes gets on the TV and criticizes the inspector general for
declaring that Comey leaking non-public information starts a dangerous
precedent. Wittes took it as a message
to the FBI that if you’re an agent, you need to keep your mouth shut.”
Horrowitz saw the clip and is
perplexed. He asks the TV, “The FBI is
supposed to be able to keep classified information classified. Their job is to keep their mouth shut on
non-public information. Besides, Comey
has definitely not been silent. That
attention media-whore is constantly on every mainstream media network attacking
the president. Are people really dumb
enough to not remember their own personal experience? Just ask yourself, if you’ve ever seen Comey
commenting on something.”
As the interview continues,
Wittes claims that Trump obstructed justice with the Mike Flynn
investigation. Again, Horrowitz says
exasperatingly, “How can you say that when McCabe even said there was no effort
to obstruct. Do you have a memory?”
The inspector general gets back
to work on the FISA court abuse. He is
disappointed that Barr didn’t prosecute but that was a frustration that came
with the job. He quickly forgot about it
and moved on to the next investigation.
Bill Barr is reviewing notes and
documents trying to paint a narrative that can win in court. He knows this is a battle that will need a
lot of time and January 2021 is too soon.
If there is any hope to get to the bottom of the entrapment, set up and
attack on President Trump, President Trump will have to win re-election. Otherwise the new president will probably
fire Barr and Durham and sweep the whole conspiracy and scandal under the rug
like it never happened. He is deeply
entrenched in the fight but when he puts his ear to the ground, he can see how
frustrated the president’s supporters are that nobody that opposes Trump is in
jail right now.
