The FBI’s sworn story to a federal court about its asset, Christopher Steele, is fraying faster than a $5 souvenir T-shirt bought at a tourist trap. Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for Hillary Clinton’s campaign was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media. The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.
Meanwhile, the Jeopardy theme song is playing in the background as I wait for some sort of justice for these criminals on the left... Still waiting... Please stop comforting me with empty threats of, "Their day is soon coming"... it´s weak and tiresome. It´s way past time for some actual action!

Ten minutes of Hannity last night and I couldn´t take it anymore with the "just breaking" and "you´re gonna see" crap. Some bodies need to go to jail, and the bodies need to be those at the top-Comey, Mueller, obama, hillary, Shifty, John Kerry (had to throw him in there, just for sport), etc., not just the little people--but they should go too. They´re gleefully reporting "facts" that most of us have known since this mess began. We knew the FISA warrants were bogus, as was everything about this failed coup. Arrest, prosecute, and jail someone already!

Known since December, 2016. Detailed by Mark Levin in March, 2017. The typed memo and handwritten notes adds one teaspoon of water to the Pacific Ocean. If you´re excited enough (and gullible enough), you´ll buy a pillow or chocolate dipped strawberries while the Marxists and the felons involved in the coup continue to be rewarded and aided by a worthless, feckless GOP and Sean milks another six months worth of ads over this "breaking news."

This article is like so much others repeating facts and opinions we have seen time and time again. All of us out here who have been paying attention already know all about this stuff.
I am with #1. I am tired of getting my hopes up that there will actually be justice served to the bad actors and then nothing happens.
Tell me about it when someone gets arrested. Until that happens I am not believing a word of it.

All of the talk about the real conspirators getting theirs or being brought to justice needs to stop being theater and start becoming reality. There need to be some high level Commucrats, along with some of the people they used, going to prison in a highly visible way. Normal American people are sick of the talk! We´ve been sick of the talk since nothing happened to that sleaze Holder....it was made worse during Her Majesty´s testimony on Benghazi... and then there was all of the fire and brimstone of Trey Gowdy that promised much and delivered N.O.T.H.I.N.G! There need to be some scalps taken and taken now. People are mad and they´re not going to take a whole lot more.

John Solomon, Sara Carter, Victor Davis Hanson and others have spent the past 30 months providing incredible details on the numerous criminal acts of the Obama regime. Can someone explain what the 36,000 FBI employees and 125,000 DoJ employees have been doing during this same period? And I don’t mean stonewalling Judicial Watch on every request for documents or prosecuting Roger Stone.
Oh, I see, they were all getting ready to celebrate yesterday’s retirement of Asst AG Rod Rosenstein from the DOJ two plus years after Rod signed the last false FISA warrant request to spy on President Trump in 2017. A warrant renewal that Rosenstein had to swear was both accurate and complete, which it wasn’t.

It didn´t take Mueller long to raid people´s houses and drag them outside in their pajamas. Let´s see some of that kind of action, or shut up about it.

Yeah, while Senator Burr wants to chat with Don Junior...again!

I´ve been on the same bandwagon as many of you - all talk, no action.
Keep in minds Nellie Ohr has been referred to DOJ for prosecution.
AG Barr seems to be a by-the-book guy. There is a mountain of evidence to review and I don´t think that he will be rushed reviewing it. B arr knows the high stakes involved and whatever he does is going to examined through a microscope.
I agree with you all on Rosenstein, as well.

Hannity is getting worse. He had two interesting guests on yesterday and wouldn´t let either one of them talk.
His constant argument that 99% of the FBI is not corrupt is falling apart.

We are a fickle crowd now aren´t we. Hannity sells advertising first and foremost but whose side is he on?
Mark Levin is a human crescendo, the organic 1812 Overture.
Fox is going wobbly further to the Left, no doubt.
Glenn Beck went into self absorption loony land.
Get better voices for sure but complaining about the closest thing we have to an offset of the communist propoganda machine just seems self destructive. I think our purity standards could be the end of us. We need all hands on deck.
John Solomon has been magnificent. Sure we are getting a great deal of repetition and pretence that old news is news, but guess what, it didn´t stick the first time. With CNN and PSNBC´s ratings tanking there´s a chance that some are hearing this for the first time. It´s worth it me to put up with the "bombshell" news when I already dusted off the fall out long ago.

Like many of you, my wife & I have tired of Hannity. His interminable declarations, boorish interruptions, puerile gestures & use of guests as props would be impossible to watch nightly if not for our DVR.
But we suffer through knowing that each night someone is finally WOKE by his exhaustive sermons. "Sooner or later, everything old is new again."

Agree that I am done with the comment about how decent the vast majority of the FBI is. Bull: career civil servants who have forgotten who they work for. We have seen the true colors of the FBI in those that rose to the top and thought it was their duty to help the "stupid, uninformed" citizenry determine how they should be governed.
We are at a crucial crossroad, folks. As Rush stated yesterday, the ONLY thing that will stop this Democrat/lamestream media crap (i.e., casting Barr as a criminal, refusing to accept the Mueller report´s conclusions, calling for Trump´s impeachment, declaring we are in a constitutional crisis, etc.) is for Bill Barr to investigate, indict and prosecute the perpetrators of the most egregious act of treason in our nation´s history. For the sake of our democracy, I hope he is up to the task. If not, we are doomed.

I agree with most of the posters, PDJT will not allow the AG to take Political Prisoners leading up to an election.

I "get" that with Sessions as AG and the Mueller show live, not much was going to get done investigating these things because it reflects badly on the agencies and the bureaucracy protects itself.
That didn´t stop us from piecing together enough threads that we could weave a credible story as to what really happened.
But that is not a formal investigation. We feel like we have known this forever and moan WHY hasn´t anything been done about it?
Now that Barr is in charge, and as somewhat of a spinoff from Mueller´s show, investigations ARE going on. The people running these investigations KNOW the jig is up and their own careers are on the line if they don´t proceed judiciously and expeditiously. The results will not be instantaneous. What is known and what can be proven for the law are different things. There is clear truth out there and it can be used to leverage more. It shouldn´t take as long as Mueller’s unicorn hunt.
I am willing to be patient. I feel the investigations are proceeding with the right intent. I think Barr is seeking the truth and KNOWS some of it already. I am also sure that I will be disappointed in the outcome. I would like Hillary, DNC leaders, BO and his intelligence leaders, a bunch of dems, and certain media hacks dragged down Main street, tarred and feathered, and tossed into a deep, deep pit. I probably won´t get that.
I hope there will be senior people sent to jail. I hope there will be firings. I hope there will be MAJOR exposure and embarrassment, especially for the "scandal free" BO show. I hope this all is done clearly and cleanly and knocks dems on their butts for the next decade or more.

Fear not!
Fey Wray has sprung into action! He has ordered several potted plants for each floor of the Jedgar Hoover Building - - to significantly increase the oxygen content of the offices.
But that´s not all - - Fey has opened a major investigation into the corrupt brass musical instrument market. Prices for trumpets and saxophones have been soaring because of under-the-table payments - - and Fey WILL put an end to it! Count on it!

The eagerness with which the Enemedia injected the obvious lies of the Steele Dossier into the national bloodstream - over 2 years ago! - was proof in itself that the whole thing was a sham. Deplorables have known all along.

Someone has re-hired Christopher Steele, apparently to keep doing what he does best. Oppo Research i.e, digging up dead bodies to vote for the DNC. President Trump has truly beaten the Unemployment Problem, if this jerk can find work in the United States.
As for ´´this just in´´ crap, I´m not buying it. Like Ed McMahon said, the dog isn´t eating the Alpo.
