The FBI has declassified portions of the notorious James
Comey Memo which allegedly spurred the appointment of Robert Mueller by Assistant
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. For purposes of this blog post, here is a Scribd version:
I never watch the Leftist Media spin doctors because they
lie. I have watched the Conservative implications of this Comey Memo on Fox
News. And most of those commentators suggest President Trump was being what
all we Conservatives were already aware; viz., the President and Russia had no
connection to each to scam Trump’s election victory. Indeed, the Memo
implicates a lot of collusion amongst the Obama DOJ and FBI. Sadly, there are
many Obamanites still lingering around the DOJ/FBI. The lingering Obamanites
explains the obstructionism that has prevented Congress from acquiring
subpoenaed documents.

PUBLIC ENEMY #1: Reports Suggest
CNN Helped Orchestrate Setup Of Trump
April 20, 2018
Memos written by former FBI director James Comey reveal that
CNN may have helped orchestrate a possible setup of then-president-elect Donald
Trump.
According to multiple published reports, the memos seem to
indicate that a meeting Comey had with Trump was prompted by pressure from CNN
and then was used to launch the media frenzy over the anti-Trump dossier, which
was funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's
presidential campaign. Mollie Hemingway at The
Federalist writes:
In multiple memos, Comey
specifically mentioned that CNN had the dossier and wanted a “news hook” that
would enable the network to report on its most salacious allegations even
though they had not been verified.
Writing on the conversation he had with Trump, Comey wrote
in a classified memo: “I said the Russians allegedly had tapes involving him
and prostitutes at the Presidential Suite at the Ritz Carlton in Moscow from
about 2013.”
As Hemingway notes, no reports had been published by any
media outlet at the time Comey met with Trump and briefed him on the
allegations contained in the dossier.
“I said media like CNN had [the allegations] and were
looking for a news hook,” Comey specifically told Trump and noted in his
memo. The Daily
Caller reports:
Four days after that meeting, CNN
published a story revealing the existence of a salacious report alleging the
Russian government had compromised Trump. The CNN story was referring to what’s
now known as the dossier — an unverified 35-page report written by former
British spy Christopher Steele.
“I explained again why I had thought it important that he
know about it,” Comey wrote in another classified memo on January 28, 2017. “I
also explained that one of the reasons we told him was that the media, CNN in
particular, was telling us they were about to run with it.”
CNN's January 10, 2017 report on the salacious and unproven
allegations contained in the dossier was extremely significant, as Hemingway
explains:
Extremely well-placed sources told
CNN that the Obama administration’s top intelligence appointees had briefed
Obama, Biden, and Trump all about a dossier they took incredibly seriously and
considered credible. And it sounded really bad, as the headline [of CNN's
report] indicated.
“Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and
financial information about Mr. Trump,” CNN reported in an article
written by Jake Tapper, Evan Perez, Jim Sciutto, and Carl Bernstein. What's
notable about the authors is that CNN's Perez had undisclosed
ties to Fusion GPS, the firm that compiled the Democrat-funded
dossier. Perez later falsely
reported that the Republicans were the ones who funded the
dossier, even after the facts had been made public which proved he was not
telling the truth. Hemingway continues:
BuzzFeed published the actual
dossier within minutes of CNN’s story going live, showing the world that the
dossier was riddled with salacious gossip that lacked even a possibility of
corroboration.
Among the most important facts revealed in
Comey's memos, which the Justice Department released on Thursday, is the fact
that there were seven memos compiled by Comey, four of which were classified.
This is significant because Comey leaked four memos to his friend for him to
turn around and leak to the media, which means that at least one of the memos
had to have been classified.
As noted by Hemingway and the Washington Examiner's Byron
York, one of the biggest takeaways from Comey's January 6, 2017 memo is that
Comey indicates in the memo that the briefing was the idea of then-Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper.
Comey writes in memo that 'Clapper wanted' him to tell Trump about Moscow sex stuff in 1/6/17 meeting. Isikoff/Corn write that 'a few days earlier' Susan Rice wanted Clapper to tell Obama about Moscow sex stuff. pic.twitter.com/Mf66S5B9gj— Byron York (@ByronYork) April 20, 2018
And Comey says that Clapper wanted him to brief POTUS. A briefing that immediately leaked to CNN. And did we mention that Clapper gave inconsistent answers to Congress about his chats with ... CNN about the dossier?— Mollie (@MZHemingway) April 20, 2018
"I said there was something that Clapper wanted me to
speak to [Trump] about alone or in a very small group," Comey wrote.
"I then executed the session exactly as I had planned."
Comey then went on to tell Trump that CNN had the
allegations and was looking for a "news hook" so they could publish
the salacious and unproven allegations.
"I said it was important that we not give them the
excuses to write that the FBI has the material or [REDACTED] and that we were
keeping it very close-hold," Comey wrote in his memo. As The Federalist
and The Daily Caller both noted, CNN ran the story just a few days after
Comey's meeting with Trump.
Given Clapper's connection to Comey's meeting with Trump,
Hemingway notes an important finding from the House Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence (HPSCI) final report on Russia. The committee's report found:
Finding #44: Former Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper, now a CNN national security analyst,
provided inconsistent testimony to the Committee about his contacts with the
media, including CNN.
Hemingway continues:
So Comey, at Clapper’s expressed
behest, told Trump that CNN was "looking for a news hook" to publish
dossier allegations. He said this in the briefing of Trump that almost
immediately leaked to CNN, which provided them the very news hook they sought
and needed.
The briefing on January 6, 2017 was the catalyst for a
series of events that ultimately led to where the Russia investigation
currently sits. The briefing was immediately leaked to CNN, which attempted to
legitimize the dossier, and in the process ignited a media firestorm. Hemingway
concludes:
During the freakout, Comey
deliberately refused to say in public what he acknowledged repeatedly in
private — that the President of the United States was not under investigation.
He even noted in his memos that he told the president at least three times that
he was not under investigation. Comey’s refusal to admit publicly what he kept
telling people privately led to his firing.
That led to Comey leaking multiple
memos in order to get a special counsel appointed out of revenge.
Hemingway's assertion that Comey leaked the memos out of
revenge is not without factual basis. During an interview with NBC's Savannah
Guthrie this week, Comey admitted that
he had an "obvious" bias against Trump because "he fired
me."
