AT: We just got a glimpse of the coming lines of defense for the deposed political cabal that formerly ran the FBI, as well as the limits of loyalty among them.
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker spoke in public Friday, before a very friendly crowd at the Brookings Institution, where James Comey’s pal Benjamin Wittes, a fellow there, organized a public event where the two men spoke. He revealed some useful indications of what’s going on among the cabal that weaponized the FBI’s counterintelligence apparatus against candidate and then President Donald Trump.
Jerry Dunleavy of the Washington Examiner reports:
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker admitted on Friday that he is “nervous” about DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s investigation into the conduct of the DOJ and the FBI during the Trump-Russia probe. (snip)
Baker said he is “assuming that they will dig and find stuff” and that “we’ll try to sort it out and see what mistakes were made.” But Baker defended the FBI’s actions, including its use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
So, he’s blaming “mistakes” not conscious planning for the abuses he knows will be uncovered. He has not turned state’s evidence.
But most importantly, Baker seems to be allowing that others may have committed crimes and concealed them from him: MORE
Remember, killery simply made a mistake when she set up a private server on which to conduct state business……….. None of this subterfuge was committed on purpose, it was just a long series of subordinate’s mistakes!
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
Translation: Horowitz will find “mistakes” were made, but no findings of “intent” could be ascertained. Amirite Comey?
Yeah, that’s the ticket…”mistakes were made.” That oughta sweep a failed coup d’etat under the rug, huh?
Nothing will happen and you know it.
No one ever gets punished in government. Their punishment is being forced to resign.
“Mistakes were made.”
“We must make sure that this never happens again.”
“We’re only going to take from the richest.”
“No one’s talking about confiscation.”
“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
“I’m with the Government; and I’m here to help.”
“It’s fo da l’il chillens.”
“The check’s in the mail.”
“I won’t ___ in your mouth.”
Yada, yada, yada …
How many more times do we eat these shit sammiches?
izlamo delenda est …
Yes, new inmates are always…”nervous”.
Sweating like a Menendez Boy. James Baker knows there is too much evidence and there are too many people who don’t want to go to prison if they can cut a deal. Sweat away, Mr. Baker. Paging John Dean!
Mithrandir: They will be forced to resign and will find them in positions that pay them more than the one they resigned from.
Of course when it comes to president Trump they’re not mistakes, they’re criminal acts. Enjoy your time in jail you squirt of shit.
It’s always the indirect “mistakes were made”, rather than the more direct “I made mistakes”. The former leads to a perception that other persons made the mistake, not the speaker.
The only ‘mistake’ that was made was being so arrogant that they felt no need to cover their tracks.
Treason isn’t a “mistake” – it’s TREASON.
In a sane world they’d already be executed.
