Former FBI Agent Fred Humphries Calls McCabe Firing Justified: ‘I Was Encouraged and Hopeful’ to Learn of News of Firing Fred Humphries woke up Saturday morning and for the first time ever raised a blue and white Federal Bureau of Investigation flag on the pole in his front yard. *"I was encouraged and hopeful," said Humphries, 53, in an exclusive interview with the Tampa Bay Times, reacting to the news that former FBI director Andrew McCabe had been fired.* A day earlier, both men left the FBI after 21-year careers. Humphries retired, a short while after serving a 60-day unpaid suspension for previously speaking to the Timeswithout permission. McCabe, fired after the Justice Department rejected an appeal that would have let him retire this weekend, is accused in a yet-to-be-released internal report of failing to be forthcoming about a conversation he authorized between FBI officials and a journalist. Humphries said McCabe’s firing was good for the organization because it is important for top officials to be held accountable for the same transgressions agents like him are. The McCabe firing is fitting, Humphries says, for a man accused of lack of candor about media contacts whose office launched an investigation into him talking to a newspaper. "Every employee of the FBI voluntarily swears to observe the bureau’s strict standards of conduct, especially in terms of candor and ethics," said Humphries. "When we fall short of that, we can expect appropriate sanctions. Yesterday’s firing of the former deputy director demonstrates that those sanctions are meted out uniformly, regardless of rank or position." cont•••

FBI Agents Say Fired Former FBI Head James Comey ‘Stood In The Way’ Of Clinton Email Investigation - FBI AGENTS READY TO SPILL THE BEANS ON DIRTY, CROOKED COMEY JUST IN TIME FOR HIS BOOK TOUR OF LIES dailycaller.com FBI Agents: Comey 'Stood In The Way' Kerry Picket Reporter FBI agents say the bureau is alarmed over Director James Comey to urge the Justice Department to not prosecute Hillary Clinton over her mishandling of classified information. According to an interview transcript given to The Daily Caller, provided by an intermediary who spoke to two federal agents with the bureau last Friday, agents are frustrated by Comey’s leadership. “This is a textbook case where a grand jury should have convened but was not. That is appalling,” an FBI special agent who has worked public corruption and criminal cases said of the decision. “We talk about it in the office and don’t know how Comey can keep going.” The agent was also surprised that the bureau did not bother to search Clinton’s house during the investigation. “We didn’t search their house. We always search the house. The search should not just have been for private electronics, which contained classified material, but even for printouts of such material,” he said. “There should have been a complete search of their residence,” the agent pointed out. “That the FBI did not seize devices is unbelievable. The FBI even seizes devices that have been set on fire.” Another special agent for the bureau that worked counter-terrorism and criminal cases said he is offended by Comey’s saying: “we” and “I’ve been an investigator.” After graduating from law school, Comey became a law clerk to a U.S. District Judge in Manhattan and later became an associate in a law firm in the city. Upon Bush’s exit from the White House, Comey entered the private sector and became general counsel and Senior Vice President for Lockheed Martin, among other private sector posts. President Barack Obama appointed him to FBI director in 2013 replacing out going-director Robert Mueller. “Comey was never an investigator or special agent. The special agents are trained investigators and they are insulted that Comey included them in ‘collective we’ statements in his testimony to imply that the SAs agreed that there was nothing there to prosecute,” the second agent said. “All the trained investigators agree that there is a lot to prosecuted but he stood in the way.” He added, “The idea that [the Clinton e-mail case] didn’t go to a grand jury is ridiculous.” According to Washington D.C. attorney Joe DiGenova, more FBI agents will be talking about the problems at the bureau. DiGenova notes the agents will specifically point to the handling of the Clinton case by Comey when Congress comes back into session and decides to force them to testify by subpoena. DiGenova told WMAL radio’s Drive at Five last week, “People are starting to talk. They’re calling their former friends outside the bureau asking for help. We were asked to day to provide legal representation to people inside the bureau and agreed to do so and to former agents who want to come forward and talk. Comey thought this was going to go away.” He explained, “It’s not. People inside the bureau are furious. They are embarrassed. They feel like they are being led by a hack but more than that that they think he’s a crook. They think he’s fundamentally dishonest. They have no confidence in him. The bureau inside right now is a mess.” He added, “The most important thing of all is that the agents have decided that they are going to talk.”

THE GREATEST MOVIE CLIP YOU WILL EVER SEE Most of the documentary is just boring propaganda with the theme of "look at how wonderful we are." However, at about the 1 hour and 16 minute mark the real fun begins when Samantha Power throws a Hillary Clinton victory party on Election Night 2016 featuring several dozen fellow female UN ambassadors and celebrity friends such as Gloria Steinem and former Secretary of State Madeline Albright. The party starts out in a jubilant mood and, as the election returns come in, ends up in an atmosphere of total depression reflected in Power's dejected face. Even better is the following scene of Ben Rhodes that night who falls into such a pit of despair that he is actually struck dumb. He can barely get a few words out. So pull out the popcorn and beer and check out the schandenfreude entertainment!

Al Sharpton’s Group And Black Lives Matter Team Up For Pro-Farrakhan Protest dailycaller.com ^ \| 3/18/2018 \| Peter Hasson Posted By Peter Hasson On 9:33 PM 03/18/2018 In \| No Comments Black Lives Matter, the New Black Panther Party, and Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network are organizing a protest in defense of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan Farrakhan is a notorious racist and anti-Semite with close ties to Democratic politicians and activists The black activist groups are lobbying against a GOP resolution formally condemning Farrakhan for his anti-Semitism Several black activist groups are holding a protest on Monday in defense of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious anti-Semite and racist revealed to have close ties to prominent Democratic politicians and activists. Black Lives Matter, the New Black Panther Party and the National Action Network are among the groups spearheading the protest, the organizers said in a press release. The groups are protesting a House resolution, introduced by Republican Indiana Rep. Todd Rokita, that formally condemns Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism. The activists instead want lawmakers to pass a resolution condemning President Donald Trump. (RELATED: Seven Louis Farrakhan Quotes On Jews, Gays And White People) Rev. Al Sharpton has been NAN’s president since he founded the group in 1991. Sharpton is also a contributor on MSNBC and hosts “PoliticsNation,” a one-hour weekly show on the network. The NAN and MSNBC did not return requests for comment. Reverend Al Sharpton (L) and the Supreme Minister and National Representative of the Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan arrive at the memorial service for Michael Jackson at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, July 7, 2009. (REUTERS/Mark J. Terrill/Pool) More than 100 organizers “will go office-to-office to deal with the GOP representatives that are leading this campaign, in specific Congressman Todd Rokita,” according to the press release. “The lobbyist [sic] will visit members of the Congressional Black Caucus who are under pressure to condemn Minister Farrakhan though the Congressional Black Caucus has yet to muster enough strength to introduce a resolution condemning that he repeated, vile and foul bigoted and reckless comments by President Donald Trump.” “The coalition will be lobbying key members of Congress-the GOP in particular-to condemn President Donald J. Trump and to leave Louis Farrakhan alone. Please do not try to stop us because we will not turn back. We will represent professionally and politically vigorously,” the press release said. “We cannot allow a politically hypocritical political situation to exist whereas an openly racist president, Donald Trump is given a free pass and to spew racist venom and racist policies by a confederate based GOP; and then they have the gall to issue an official legislative condemnation of a private citizen and Black leader who is dearly beloved by the masses,” said Black Lawyers for Justice president Malik Zulu Shabazz, one of the protest organizers. Shabazz, a former leader of the New Black Panthers, has a long history of anti-Semitism and once shouted at a protest: “Kill every goddamn Zionist in Israel! Goddamn little babies, goddamn old ladies! Blow up Zionist supermarkets!” That’s according to the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization which has tracked Shabazz’s anti-Semitism for years. The press release lists Shabazz as the point of contact for the protest. He did not return an email seeking comment. Farrakhan has re-emerged as a politically divisive figure among Democrats due to three recent developments. First, a Nation of Islam photographer revealed a 13-year-old photo of then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama smiling with Farrakhan at a Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) meeting in 2005. The CBC asked him to suppress the photo’s publication in order to protect Obama’s presidential aspirations, the photographer said. Twenty-one current House Democrats were in the CBC when Farrakhan had his meeting with the caucus. (RELATED: Maxine Waters Attended Nation Of Islam Convention Where Farrakhan Defended Suicide Bombers) Second, Women’s March leader Tamika Mallory attended Farrakhan’s annual Saviour’s Day speech in February, where he railed against Jews and white people. Mallory has repeatedly defended Farrakhan and Women’s March has declined to denounce him, alienating some progressives both within the organization and outside of it. Third, several House Democrats have been revealed to have closer relationships with Farrakhan than previously known. That includes DNC deputy chair Keith Ellison, who claimed to have cut ties with Farrakhan before running for Congress in 2006, when actually he attended multiple meetings with the hate group leader during his time in Congress. Ellison penned a blog post on Sunday confirming he crossed paths with Farrakhan twice in 2013 but denying Farrakhan’s claim that he and Indiana Rep. Andre Carson visited Farrakhan in a hotel room in 2015. Carson has confirmed he attended the Farrakhan meeting that Ellison says didn’t happen. Democratic Illinois Rep. Danny Davis has a personal relationship with Farrakhan, he said in three interviews with this reporter. He emphasized in the third interview that he personally does not think that white people are “devils” and that Jewish people are “satanic.” Some House Democrats, including Ellison, have condemned Farrakhan while others, including Davis, have distanced themselves from Farrakhan’s racism and anti-Semitism but have declined to condemn him. South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, the third-highest ranking Democrat in the House, shared a stage with Farrakhan in 2011 and has since declined to condemn him. Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters, who attended a Nation of Islam convention where Farrakhan defended suicide bombers, has similarly remained silent on Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism, despite repeated media inquiries.

Hannity: I Expect 'Criminal Charges' Against McCabe Fox News ^ \| March 19, 2018 Sean Hannity said Monday he expects to see criminal charges brought against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired Friday night just before he was to receive his pension. In an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Hannity said "serious crimes" at the top levels of the Justice Department and FBI need to be investigated and questions must be answered - including why Hillary Clinton was not indicted over her private email server. "It is the biggest abuse of power in the history of this country," said Hannity, adding that Clinton and her campaign are the ones who colluded with Russia by "buying Russian lies" in the form of the so-called Steele dossier. Hannity said he believes Special Counsel Robert Mueller is coming to the end of his investigation and said the talk of President Trump trying to remove Mueller is "fake news." ...

Discipline Quotas: The Obama
Administration’s Evil Lives On
Power Line, by John Hinderaker

Original Article

In 2014, the Obama administration promulgated a “guidance” to America’s public schools that threatened federal investigations and litigation against schools where black students are disciplined (e.g., by suspension) more often, on a pro rata basis, than white students, on the ground that such numerical discrepancy is evidence of discrimination. Many schools responded by adopting discipline quotas, which meant in practice that after a certain number of students of a particular race had been suspended, teachers and administrators were helpless to enforce any kind of discipline in classrooms. The Obama administration is gone, thankfully, but its “guidance” has not been revoked.

UTTERLY CORRUPT MUELLER WENT AFTER INNOCENT HATFILL FOR YEARS ...The third and most important factor tempering my enthusiasm for the new special prosecutor is that Comey and Mueller badly bungled the biggest case they ever handled. They botched the investigation of the 2001 anthrax letter attacks that took five lives and infected 17 other people, shut down the U.S. Capitol and Washington’s mail system, solidified the Bush administration’s antipathy for Iraq, and eventually, when the facts finally came out, made the FBI look feckless, incompetent, and easily manipulated by outside political pressure. This, too, was an enormously complex case. But here are some facts: Despite the jihadist slogans accompanying the mailed anthrax, it had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein or any foreign element; the FBI ignored a 2002 tip from a scientific colleague of the actual anthrax killer, who turned out to be a Fort Detrick scientist named Bruce Edwards Ivins; the reason is that they had quickly obsessed on an innocent man named Steven Hatfill; the bureau was bullied into focusing on the government scientist by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy (whose office, along with that of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, was targeted by an anthrax-laced letter) and was duped into focusing on Hatfill by two sources – a conspiracy-minded college professor with a political agenda who’d never met Hatfill and by Nicholas Kristof, who put his conspiracy theories in the paper while mocking the FBI for not arresting Hatfill. ... realclearpolitics.com

Trump is America's red pill donsurber.blogspot.com I never watched "The Matrix" but I am familiar with this blockbuster because it impacted American culture, and still does 19 years after its premiere. In the science fiction world of this movie, people can take the red pill or the blue pill. If you take the blue pill, you see a happy peaceful world. If you take the red pill, you see reality. That reality the red pill reveals is harsh because it robs you of everything you thought you knew, which is now untrue. I can see the appeal of the blue pill. On the Internet, people who have seen the movie say that President Donald John Trump is red pilling America. I agree. He has shown that the leaders of our government do not particularly like our country. People who describe "America First" with deplorable words such as racist, Islamophobic, and xenophobic are not our servants, but rather those who want to rule us. Trump has shown that the FBI, Department of Justice, and our national security agencies are corrupt and trying to undermine a duly elected government. The Deep State is real, if incompetent. He has shown that they have sold out our national sovereignty in favor of globalism and open borders. The Republican Party which had embraced protectionism in 1854, when they formed the party, abandoned it when President George H.W. Bush declared a New World Order in 1991. Trump has shown that neither political party cares about the working class. Trade deficits with China have accelerated the gutting of America's heartland, as factories shutter. Washington could not care less. He has shown that Obama, who the press presented as the cleanest president ever, is a scum-sucking swamp critter who spied on Americans. Trump has shown the gangs at the Weekly Standard and National Review are by and large a pack of charlatans posing as conservatives. For years those Washington and Manhattan conservatives said social issues were a loser, and urged conservatives to ignore social issues such as abortion, and instead embrace economic issues. The problem was, their economic policies were Marxist. remember, Bush and Gorbachev devised the New World Order. The bigger problem is social issues matter. We disappoint God by embracing abortion on demand. Trump has shown what we face, and you can see why people prefer the blue pills that deny reality. He may be crass and brash, but he is rational. Boxing promoter Don King -- a longtime ally of Trump -- said it best. "No one has carried this type of lightning rod activity since the 13 colonies wrote a letter to King George saying they wanted to discharge so they can be eliminated and independent Americans," King told Fox News. Trump is up there with the best. He has pledged his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor to save this nation from becoming a banana republic overrun by foreigners. We are in a revolution. Our declaration of independence is the Declaration of Independence. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. The Establishment failed us, just as Lord North and King George III did. We gambled on Trump, and look what happened. We are the ones who are Woke. Red pilled. God bless Donald Trump. God bless America. Take the red pill. It is painful. The truth often is. But the truth is all we have.
