-Lurid Crime Tales-
Texts From Anti-Trump FBI Officials Reveal Obama Wanted ‘To Know Everything' About Clinton Investigation
[Daily Caller] Newly discovered texts exchanged by FBI agent Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page reveal possible involvement by former President Barack Obama in the 2016 investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, Fox News reports.

"Potus wants to know everything we’re doing," Page told Strzok in a text message dated Sept 2, 2016. Page then described preparing former FBI director James Comey to brief Obama on the details of a particular investigation.

Congressional investigators told Fox News the texts could spark an inquiry into the depth of Obama’s knowledge and involvement in the Clinton investigation.

Page also revealed in her text messages with the Strzok that former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe knew of emails discovered on Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s computer on Sept 28, 2016. Comey did not notify Congress of this batch of emails until days before the election on October 28, 2016. The delay in notification and the role McCabe played in the investigation is reportedly an item of interest for FBI inspector general Michael Horowitz in a new report.

Somebody Just Leaked Every Phone Number and Address on Anthony Weiner's Laptop: 639 Politicians and Media Personalities Doxxed
[Squawker] The kicker? All of this information was released straight from Weiner’s laptop, which is currently being held under evidence by the FBI.

It’s important to note that we are not trying to “witch hunt” anyone, and this information is not meant for you to do the same. We are not interested in doxxing these individuals, rather we are interested in reporting on the doxxing list that was released, potentially by a rogue FBI agent.

Best case scenario.

#3  The Abedin-Weiner household had a habit of b*rfing the sensitive content stored on their personal IT infrastructure all over the net.

The reasonable assumption is that everything stored on Weiner's laptop has been in the hands of every international player that isn't electronically deaf and blind. For Years!

The same goes for the content stored on Congressional PCs and servers.

Nuts!

#4  Number 3 is a damage assessment assumption that must be made. A follow-on assumption might indicate that everyone contacted (each number contained on the laptop) has also become a potential target for exploitation.

In today's electronic environment, there really is no good method to protect electronic generated communications. Once you hit the 'push-to-talk' or 'SEND' button, you're a potential collection target.

#9  I'm waiting for those two Russian disc jockeys to call ValJar...that would be a hoot.

Someone in the FBI has a burn phone with Zero's unlisted cell phone number on it. You get that, you'll get the one to the docket.

#10  I looked up some of the names associated with the 617 area code (Boston & surrounding suburbs) - Skip Gates of Harvard, Robert Reicccccccccch of Brandeis, Peter Cannelos and some other wanker from the Boston Globe. My guess is that Weiner may have needed some good press at some point, which is just a phone call or e-mail away.

Russian pranksters spoof Adam Schiff by telling Democrat that Putin has NAKED blackmail pictures of Trump - and he gets his staff to try to collect 'classified materials for the FBI'
[DailyMail] - Adam Schiff, the ranking Democratic member of the House Intel Committee was recorded speaking to Russian pranksters who spun elaborate 'kompromat' tale

- He told Vocan and Lexus, two radio pranksters who have also hit Nikki Haley, that he would pass their claims to the FBI in a call made last year

- The duo posed as a fake Ukrainian politician to say Trump had sex with Russian glamour model Olga Buzova after a Miss Universe pageant in 2013

- In the call they said Putin had been passed naked pictures of Trump and now-president had used secret codes for talks with Russians

- Duo gave emails to DailyMail.com which showed Schiff's staff trying to arrange to collect 'classified' documents from Ukraine's embassy in D.C.

- Schiff's office claimed he was not fooled by the call and reported it to 'authorities' but did not explain why his staff kept up correspondence

- Call posted in April 2017 surfaced as Schiff waits to see if Trump will declassify his Democratic version of the Devin Nunes memo which shamed the FBI

Rep. Eric Swalwell: Democratic memo ‘bolsters credibility' of the FBI
Rep. Eric Swalwell said Tuesday the Democratic memo "bolsters credibility" for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and justice system.

"Ours bolsters the credibility of the FBI, to point out that they actually did go through the correct process," Mr. Swalwell, California Democrat, said on Fox News.

Republicans released their memo Friday on alleged use of an unverified dossier in obtaining surveillance warrants on members of President Trump’s campaign team. The House Intelligence Committee voted to release the Democratic memo on Monday, but Mr. Trump has to approve it, as he did with Republicans.

Mr. Swalwell explained that Democrats did not support the release the Republican memo because they did not want evidence released in an ongoing investigation, but Republicans did support the release of the Democratic memo.

"The public sentiment was that they wanted the full picture, and Democrats didn’t believe that in an ongoing investigation that the public, or subjects or witnesses in the investigation, like the White House and White House staff members, should see evidence that is being used in the case, which now is open and out there," he said.

Mr. Swalwell said Democrats now want their memo released because of misinformation in the Republican memo.

Why? Didn't want to sway a potential jury? Didn't want to sway members of Congress.

Horsepoop.

#6  People used to say that Hoover was a danger to the US. They succeeded in demonizing him personally without looking all that closely at the bureau.

Tsarnaevs...how many intel agencies told the bureau about them?

Nidal Hassan...wherein they had volumes of e mail detailing his thoughts/plans to kill US troops.

Whitey Bulger/Steve Flemmi...not enough room to even casually broach the subject.

Yeah, we really NEED the FBI. Look at their man of the hour, their wonder boy on the case...Strzok! for Pete's sake, the man IS James Bond. Of course JB was the only operative I ever heard of who compulsively introduced himself to anybody who would listen. I wouldn't mind the clown show as much if it weren't as expensive and increasingly intrusive.

#10  Whitey Bulger/Steve Flemmi...not enough room to even casually broach the subject.

Whitey had seven Boston FBI agents on his payroll, including John 'Zip' Connolly, John 'Vino' Morris, and H. Paul Rico. Ironic name, that last one...
