because of the f.b.i. zeal to obtaun warrant before election day, that is -- obtain warrant before election day. that is fraud on fisa court and fraud on you the american people. our inalienable rights. we have a constitution that is supposed to protect us from this. that is what happened under james comeys leadership. that is why so many top officials surrounding comey under his leadership have either been fired, demoted, forced to resign and we know that people like mccabe and baker looked at criminally. this is a criminal investigation. because this was abuse of power and rampant. the bias unconscionable. corruption is wadespread. this is -- widespread. sanctimonious james comey look what happened on his watch. believe it or not this is where the story gets worse. among those briefed by bruce ohr were andy mccabe, the deputy f.b.i. director under comey. also a top lawyer for loretta lynch. also andrew weissmann. that is right. mule maul's pitbull was also briefed on this. he is the lead -- mueller's pitb

the field of expertise although the f.b.i. to make judgments what kind of policy is against for us national security interests i would say that one of the mandates of the f.b.i. is to engage in counterintelligence i grant you this is an unusual thing you normally don't have to ask whether the president of the united states is compromising the national security the united states i would also point out however that in some ways this is been overtaken by events while everyone has been obsessed with a fact that the f.b.i. launched the investigation clearly that part of the investigation was handed over to robert muller when muller was named special counsel so the very fact that muller now clearly has this part of it his bailiwick suggests that all the accusations of f.b.i. bias either in either direction i don't think really apply anymore because clearly they were only engaging in this investigation for two to three weeks before muller was named special counsel the most persuasive argument are heard for on this side supporting trum

i will picked up the phone on my desk and i put in a phone call to the f.b.i. director and was told the director was unavailable. so i called back and i said where is the director. the director is on travel and out west. and i said well, i need this agent to testify. and i checked with the ranking mber, mr. dingell, and if he is not willing to testify illingly i will compel testimony from the f.b.i. and got an acknowledge tated phone call, couldn't do that. wasn't proper. and the president at the time george w.d friend was bush and he said check with the president of the united states and let us know if you are going to send your agent. later that afternoon, i got a phone call from the f.b.i. director. and he was very cordial. what could he do to help. would be no problem. and i said i really appreciate that. i'm just curious, why the change of attitude. he said we called over to the white house and the president said that congressman barton was a good man and meant business and it was not totally impossible that the f.b.i. should corporate. and the agent came t

session or tansey the f.b.i. has declined to comment on the incident. around twenty thousand nine cheery and girls and women could be trafficked to mali and forced into prostitution that's according to a new report by nigeria's anti trafficking agency that reportedly being held deep inside forests with almost no chance of escape the girls and women range in age from sixteen to thirty many have been tricked into thinking that they were heading for jobs in hospitality in malaysia others were kidnapped on their way to or from school director general of that agency says that they are held in terrible slave like conditions we spoke to god when more from the agency that issued their report . will be bush with the goods we. see below dismount big job indeed the number of put it down we do absolutely to be conservative because the square to let me work. will be good it's traffic to rally. to. were important we don't do two million. francs which is. one of the finish be. too good to rescue these girls we need to all of you cluelessly we do not do it is especiall

yes that means the f.b.i. has infiltrated the mafia and this thirteen and your local neighborhood trivia night has come to show off what she knows or has she's come to discover what we know. these geek squad members are going from pretending to know what's inside this machine and joining the ranks of the f.b.i. confidential to human sources the top three in the legal gray area spying on citizens and carrying out sting operations today's are more than fifteen thousand confidential human sources so that the f.b.i. must a custom software program delta to track and manage informants they have so many informants that yes indeed there is in the app for that so don't. be brewing seems like they missed an opportunity a better name would have been i don't know your level rabbit to face book inspired spook and moles on eavesdropping. there isn't much of a screening process for becoming an f.b.i. informant in fact it's better to have law breaking on your resume like whitey bulger was a hit man or a member of the k.k.k. w

he did not get on that flight in denver which which i had told him to the f.b.i. i was with him and accompanied him the whole night. till he was not under arrest but actually he current and my hears my other kids if he hadn't been there your children were not led to just like you disappeared and she realizes how easy. for them to make someone disappear. he was. that no one would have known. where my market. arrests it. shall cause not charged with the crime and. wow i definitely saw it first hand. me there talking to r.t. after she returned to see where the f.b.i. has declined to comment on the story. now italy's interior minister and deputy prime minister has taken a swipe at the foreign affairs chief federica margaret any matthew selvi said she'd forgotten her italian roots its words came as the you considers shutting down the italian led rescue operation for migrants in the mediterranean the person who represents us in europe was put in that position by the left quarter of the now after being appointed super god how to be in the towel in meanwhile salvini they c
