“Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. “But this is a different world.”
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of becoming even more of a target, doesn’t believe any attempt to prosecute him will be successful. Judges and juries have the power to throw out cases or find defendants innocent if they deem prosecutions to be baseless.
But like many other current and former Justice Department officials, he is bracing for a potentially long and costly legal battle, as well as the possibility of protracted congressional investigations, after Trump takes office in January. More
DOJ and FBI Begin Lawyering Up… with OUR hard-earned tax dollars.
You mean they are looking for competent lawyers instead of the hit men currently working for the DOJ? That unnamed guy has the nerve to say it will be bad after the crap they have been doing for the past eight years?
This sounds like the brutal chief of Stalin’s Secret Police who cried when it came his turn to face what he had done to others. They are dirty. They know they are dirty. We know they are dirty. And now they are crying because they will be facing legitimate criminal prosecutions.
What they did was not only despicable, it was totally without any legitimacy whatsoever. They need to be held personally accountable and I mean that from the very top down to the janitor who knew and didn’t file a whistleblower complaint.
Let me know when they begin STRINGING THEM UP.
If everything they did was above board why lawyer up?
A quick look at the records would prove that out.
FBLie
I’d think they would be looking for a country that doesn’t extradite.
“…..long and costly legal battle..”
This is the game you a$$holes wanted to play. DEFENCE is a bitch, which you’re about to find out, when the other team has unlimited recourses. So yeah, lawyer up and get ready to be bankrupted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of ANY law that that can be stretched and manipulated just for your case.
If he did nothing wrong, he has nothing to worry about, but even if he did, I doubt the squishy wing of our party will follow through.
There is a large segment of Republicans who still want to bring a knife to a gunfight. Some wrong headed honor code they still abide by, this ,”We are better than that” happy horseshit, clouds their resolve and places an impediment to righteous (and legal) retribution.
Got the traitors on the run?
There are a whole lotta motherfuckers who need to pay. They should reopen that case of the bitch FBI lawyer who literally doctored evidence to obtain a warrant to wiretap Trump Tower. That motherfucker needs to be fired if he’s still at the FBI.
feeble butt inspectors be checking theyz dee-pends
above board? ur lying badge-****** assholes
Taxpayers should not have to pay a dime for their crimes. But we will and that is also a crime.
They had better have secured all the communications or they will be going to jail. You’ll know people within the FBI are in serious trouble when they start declaring they were only following orders.
Are you sure everything you did was aboveboard?
May we don’t have the same definition of ‘aboveboard’ that you do.
above board? sounds like the position/location of a gubmint asshole hovering over an outhouse receptacle
Revenge is too nice a word for what I want to see happen to the rat bastards who waged war upon the American people and Donald Trump. Does Nuremberg ring a bell?

Hmmm … Comey, Clapper, Wray, Garland, Brennan, &c. … got an itch?

I love the smell of schaudenfreude in the morning.
I doubt the American people have the resolve that it takes for Justice to be done. Despite all that was done to them.
