The Trump Card...
- Thread starter muttly
- Start date
If you stick with the partisan accusations and the media interpretations of what was said, then yes, it's a very big deal. In the same way that Trump's words in the video were characterized as admitting to sexual assault when the actual words said something else, go back and listen to Giuliani's actual words, what he actually said, and you'll see he never actually said that he himself was talking to current FBI agents. And if you go back and watch the video of Baier he never said he was wrong, just that his phrasing was inartful. If you watch the video of his original statement, he never said an indictment was imminent or soo or any other time frame. Listen to what Giuliani and Baier actually said, and not what meaning might be molded from it or ascribed to it.
Neither of which are current FBI agents.
Oh, well then, it must be true, because the media is, as we all know, totally unbiased and truthful, like totally.
I'll have to take your word on that one, as I haven't read or heard anything from current FBI agents regarding the mindset of the agents in the NYC FBI office.
Oh, I'm totally out of the loop. One hundred percent out of the loop. I can't even see the loop I'm so far out of it. I haven't talked with a single current or former FBI agent about this. As far as I know I've never met or talked with anyone who has. So yeah, out oif the loop. I have read up on it, though, and I heard Giuliani's and Baier's statements live when they made them, I've read up on the book, and I've read and heard all of the characterizations and interpretations presented as fact that isn't fact, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with any of it. But our of the loop, yes.
But no real evidence, other than partisan accusations, that any of that is current. I'm not saying n none of this isn't going on, or that it can't happen only that there's no real evidence for it at present.
I'm pretty sure I said, "unless there's some kind of related criminal charges involved beyond the Hatch Act." Your original premise was giving odds on the DOJ OIG investigating the NYC FBI office for possible violations of the Hatch Act. I'm standing by my odds on that premise. If there are non employees involved (who cannot violate the Hatch Act even if they tried), or criminal violations involved, the DOJ OIG would certainly handle those. But the DOJ OIG does not deal with Hatch Act violations in any way, shape or form.
IMO, if Hillary is elected, Comey is gone. (Fired/ forced to resign.) He will be replaced with a more partisan Democrat. Along with AG Loretta Lynch they will 'shut it all down'. The email and Foundation investigations will be halted. Everything will be whitewashed. Hillary, Bill, Huma, and Cheryll will skate. Elections have consequences.
I wouldn't read too much into something from the Huffington Post. From a stock market prospective, a Hillary win would mean predictability for the markets because she won't be doing anything. The stock exchange has no idea what Trump will be doing.
Do you have a link to where there are any direct quotes from these professional career FBI agents?

Could happen ... or not ...
You might want to scope out the partisan affiliation of FBI Directors on a historical basis ... don't think you'll find many Dem's.
You bought a nothingburger from the "Marilyn" the drag-queen and his fat sidekick.
They certainly do.
There are tons of articles that cite unnamed sources, but none that I've found that have any FBI agents out of the NYC office speaking on record.
Do you think it's a nothingburger that Clinton set up her unsecured server so she could conceal the Clinton Foundation schemes?

Calls for both Office of Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility investigations ... at least so far:
Will Comey survive the Clinton email flap?

That's about Comey, though, and not about the leaks out of the office. But we've had those calls since July, ever since the meeting between Bill and Loretta.

Yeah no, not exactly.
While the piece is generally about Comey, it isn't exclusively about Comey:
"Comey also faces the possibility of an internal Justice Department probe into the handling of the email investigation and his disclosures to Congress. Grassley has asked the Justice Department's inspector general to look into those questions, while anti-corruption group Campaign for Accountability has urged the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility to probe Comey's disclosures as well as a series of leaks about Clinton-related investigations.
Still not about the Hatch Act.
