#4 ^ That would be great, but I don't see it. He's going to lose his law license, he needs to be a "stand up guy" to land his next gig.

#5 True but he's toxic now. What white shoe law firm is gonna hire him?

#6 ^ That's what I meant about him losing his license. He's gonna need a gig outside practicing law. Some cushy think tank or non-profit type thing where all the money is sluicing through from "donors."

#7 Daily Caller: he has a "cooperation agreement"

Kevin Clinesmith was not a bit player in Crossfire Hurricane.

*He worked with Strzok to arrange sending an FBI agent into Trump-Flynn briefing.
*He was on the Mueller team
*He took part in Papadopoulos interviews
*He was part of FISA process. https://t.co/hJynsJ5jhs

Brennan knew the deal. Comey knew the deal. Wray knows the deal. Nobody wants to come clean.

The weasel in the graphic was a witting 'Deep State' plant inside the Trump campaign. Come on somebody, OUT with it !

#10 Fire Barr while you are at it, Mr. Prez.

#11 Hell yes Clem. Barr should have been charging traitors two years ago!

#12 It is not obvious Wray is doing anything to clean up the horrendous mess left behind by the Obama administration. Maybe he is not the right man to head up the FBI.
