It was a long day of travel but we’re back at it on the Sussmann trial.
This morning started with testimony from Bill Priestap, who in September 2016 was the FBI’s Assistant Director of Counterintelligence. His testimony was expected, even before the witness lists were put out. Back in January, we observed that Priestap had testified before a grand jury. In fact, Priestap himself stated today that he testified before the grand jury in June 2021.
A little bit of background on Priestap before we begin. Priestap approved the opening of Crossfire Hurricane and decided against defensive briefings being provided to the Trump Campaign. He was Peter Strzok’s supervisor and also approved the use of all the confidential human sources used against the Trump campaign (Stefan Halper, et al.).
Last week, former FBI general counsel James Baker testified that he spoke with Priestap about his meeting with Sussmann and “repeated to Mr. Priestap that Michael had said that he was not there on behalf of a particular client, that he was there as a citizen, as a – essentially as a human source of information, confidential source.”
At trial today, Priestap was presented with notes he took after that meeting with Baker. Those notes reflected that conversation with Baker, stating Sussmann “said not doing this for any client.” Priestap also said that the Alfa Bank/Trump Organization investigation ultimately fell under his control. Getting to the issue of materiality, Priestap was then asked about why the motivations of sources matter to the FBI: more
Wouldn’t it be nice to see just one of these traitors hang?

^^^ on prime time TV.
FBI/DOJ same mentality as thieves hiding in the dark.
fellating-biden-inc. broke the law?
Priestap is married to some elitist related skank, has moved thru the heirarchy of the feebleboysinstitute untouched, and will continue to do so until he retires w/full benefits, all related “witnesses” will continue to skate and ZERO punishment will befall these traitors, their invites to the DC socialist cocktail parties will continue and their influence w/all that matters to the ruling/ incestual club members will not be abatted.
Gosh, what a shocking revelation!!!… You mean there may be a chance that Comey and Wray were/are corrupt & incompetent?!… Golly!… That never occurred to anyone before!
Leadership, my ass.
Can’t have “leadership” without followers – complicit followers – willing traitors.
The entire organization is corrupt, traitorous, and a threat to the Republic (if it still exists).
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
GWB replaced a corrupt “Bush bRepublican’ Free with a Communist Mueller 9/4/01. “Moderates” said good move. Conservatives said
America is no longer a free country. “Moderates” – R. Blunt, J.Boehner, N. Pelosi, R. Ryan, A. Schiff, C. Schumer, …- said we were “over reacting”!
The persecution of, naming only a few well known conservatives of very many, Flynn, Manafort, Trump; shows conservatives were right 21 years ago AND ARE RIGHT TODAY!
