Earlier today I cross posted the Geller Report (which was actually a Catherine Herridge/Fox
News source) on FBI corruption with a shortened title, “Corrupt
FBI leadership debated...” In the course of sharing the FBI corruption post, I came across an
awesome Fox News post on the same
situation.
Fox News Contributors Victoria
Toensing and Joseph diGenova effectively write a scathing
pierce which does a much better job in showing the hypocritical/corrupt nature
the FBI used to target President Trump with FALSE Russian spy incriminations.

The brazen plot against Trump by the Obama-era FBI and
DOJ continues, enabled by a complicit media
January 14, 2019
Fox VIDEO link: Rep. Peter King: 'Absolutely
disgraceful' of FBI to question if Trump's motivation for firing Comey was tied
to Russia.
House Republican
sounds off on revelations that senior FBI leadership debated whether President
Trump was directed by the Russian government to fire FBI Director James Comey.
(Youtube Version of Rep. King
interview)
A stench has been emanating from the J. Edgar Hoover
Building (FBI headquarters) for over two years. It landed Saturday on the front
page of the New York Times in
an article citing “former law enforcement officials” claiming they had to deal
with “explosive implications” that President Donald Trump was “knowingly” or
“unwittingly” working for Russia. Thus, the story goes, there was a basis to
begin the Russia collusion
investigation.
In fact, “The Gray Lady” was covering the derrieres of
the Obama administration
officials involved in the cabal to frame Trump, who now fear
an imminent Special Counsel finding that during the 2016 campaign there was no
collusion between Trump and the Russians. The article is intended to convey the
following message: Even though there was no evidence to support the allegations,
those making the decision to investigate Trump did so in good faith.
No, they did not. The rotting of the FBI hierarchy began
when then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and then-agent Peter Strzok, enabled by
former Director James Comey and the Obama-era Justice Department, utilized an
“unsubstantiated” dossier created by former British spy, Christopher Steele,
and financed by the Clinton campaign, to request a FISA warrant to wiretap
Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. Yet, the New York Times described the
dossier as a “factor fuel[ing]” the “FBI’s concerns.”
We have been involved in the criminal justice process for
decades. Never have we seen a law enforcement person concerned about anything
unsubstantiated.
Another “factor” was that Trump “refused to criticize Russia
on the campaign trail.” Really? Where was the FBI or DOJ angst in 2012 when
President Barack Obama requested then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev tell
Vladimir Putin that after the election, he would have “more flexibility” to
deal with serious stuff like missile defense?
Where was the angst when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
attempted a Russian reset? Was anyone in law enforcement tossing his cookies in
2010 when her spouse, Bill Clinton, took $500,000 from a Russian entity
comprised of former Russian intelligence operatives? Or when the Obama
administration allowed corrupt Russian-controlled companies to purchase Uranium
One, thereby acquiring 20 percent of the U.S. uranium supply.
Another “factor” was that in July 2016, candidate Trump
“called on Russia” “to hack into” Clinton’s emails. No. Trump’s remark,
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you will be able to find the 30,000 emails
that are missing,” was not a request to hack. Hillary had already used
BleachBit to delete the emails so “even God cannot read them” according to
former Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. Trump was joking to attack his political
opponent for destroying evidence or, in legal jargon, obstructing justice.
Which raises another New York Times “factor”: that firing Comey in May of
2017 was “obstruction of justice” calling for a criminal investigation in
addition to the counterintelligence investigation already in place because of
the pretextual factors cited above. Set aside the president’s clear
constitutional authority to fire any executive branch person for any reason or
for no reason.
The fact remains that a person cannot be charged with
obstruction of justice if the act at issue cannot obstruct justice, meaning it
cannot thwart the investigation. Even if a special counsel had not been
(improperly) appointed, the FBI top dog’s departure does not affect in any way
the continuing work of the FBI employees below him. Indeed, it has not. Where
is the obstruction?
Moreover, if firing Comey obstructed justice, why wasn’t
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who recommended the firing, also placed
under investigation?
The New York Times story was created to obfuscate the real
criminal conspiracy: violation of Title 18 of U.S. Code Section 242, which
prohibits any person under color of law (i.e. Obama administration personnel)
to deprive another of “rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the
Constitution.” Such legal protection includes being free from a criminal
investigation based on false charges.
Perhaps the bizarre January 20, 2017 email Susan Rice wrote
“to herself” purporting to document a January 5, 2017 meeting with President
Obama, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI Director Comey and Vice
President Joe Biden, gives a clue as to some of those conspirators. The meeting
discussed the Steele dossier and Russian collusion, but curiously Rice stressed
that the former president said every aspect should be handled “by the book.”
Yet, Strzok had told his FBI colleague and paramour Lisa Page not to worry
about Trump being elected because “We’ll stop it.”
The brazen plot against President Trump by the Obama-era FBI
and DOJ continues, enabled by a complicit media. The odor of corruption has
long been noxious. But the Democrats and media hold their collective noses. The
criminal clique, via the New York Times, has announced to the world, “Catch me
if you can.”
Joseph diGenova is a former U.S. attorney for the
District of Columbia, co-founder of the law firm of diGenova & Toensing and
an informal legal adviser to President Trump.
Victoria Toensing is a former chief counsel for the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and former deputy assistant attorney
general at the U.S. Department of Justice, where among other assignments
she created the anti-terrorism section. She is a founding partner of diGenova
& Toensing.
