FBI whistleblower suspended — 14 Comments

  1. Rational and well-informed persons who care about the future of the republic should be eternally grateful to Miranda Devine (categorized at Wikipedia under “Australian conspiracy theorists”) and to Julie Kelly (AmericanGreatness), neither of whom, of course, will ever be awarded any Pulitzer (such as was awarded to WaPo and the NYT for mendacious and malicious and mischievous mis-reporting on “Russia-gate”). It is certainly likely that the MSM will ignore the laudable efforts of Steve Friend, just as there has been little coverage of the young man run over in ND by a lunatic (Shannon Brandt) worried about “Republican extremism”.

  2. In the meantime …i can just think the documents are declassified and they are…

    Guess who said that?

    How far down this nonsense path do you want to go?

    When it comes to abuses this is rather egregious. Anyone here calling for accountability?

    No… It is all a witch hunt. Nothing there to see

    So far no denial that the documents were in his possession and that they were classified at some point.

    Dearie is pressing for proof on declassification and on alleged planting of docs… We’ll see what team Trump presents.

  3. BM (the commenter formerly known as “Big Maq”):

    Did you even read the post?

    No one has to “guess who said that,” because I discussed it in the post, and offered a link to a video of the whole statement (also recounted by Turley in the piece of his I linked), as well as a discussion of the fact that no protocol has ever been established for a president declassifying something. In addition, I discuss what courts have previously ruled, and the fact that it does not rely on a statute. In addition, one of the many issues is whether any of the statutes involving classified documents even apply to former presidents having the documents they say they declassified in their possession, as well as the political nature of the prosecution (as clearly evidenced by the lack of prosecution of Hillary Clinton – who was not even a president – for the violations regarding her server and her destruction of evidence that was under subpoena).

    Your snark and insults really don’t make much of an argument.

  4. there was a declassification form, he posted on his own site, now the way the bureau has acted, per the precursor players as paul sperry has noted, doesn’t inspire confidence,
    one of the judges on that panel, andrew brashler was unwilling to challenge dominions, along with lagoa, she was the runner up to barrett

    mr friend, reminds of chad joy, he was the one that called out the unorthodox
    arrangement(ahem) of william allen and his fbi handler, who covered up his criminal past, ala epstein, because of her unprofessional behavior, he was the one they used to target ted stevens and the three alaskan state legislators,

    as of 2022, he left and she remained in the bureau

  5. When does a card carrying Republican ever revive the sacred Brief enumerating the injuries and usurpations against the King’s Officials preceding the text “ when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security…”

  6. One thing that I don’t quite understand (though this might be because I don’t have all the information) is that if the FBI takes scads of documents—hoovers them up from your home so to speak—and refuses to describe specifically, or itemize, which documents they took (while also REFUSING to allow a Trump official, OR LAWYER, to accompany them on their “search” (is THAT on the up and up??), then how is Trump supposed to tell them which SPECIFIC documents are the ones that have been unclassified.
    Is this just another “heads I win, tails you lose” farce by the DOJ/FBI?
    Once again, it doesn’t seem to make sense but I may not be fully understanding what occurred or what’s at stake here….

    (Oh, and might one wonder whether Melania’s underwear was declassified? Curious minds, etc…)

  7. This has a clarifying effect regarding the rest of the FBI agents. We know more accurately who they are. We have an actual contrast.

  8. I’m so old I remember when Democrats were screaming that whistleblowers had to be protected at all costs. The name Alexander Vindman, er, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, comes to mind.

  9. So a dutiful citizen, one who’s been paying attention, is called for jury duty in a federal case. What is he to do?

  10. Go to Yale and join the CIA if you want DEFCON 1 level whistleblower protection.
