    Default Yet another new allegation for the Trumptards to deny and lie about....

    Man, oh man, it just never ends with this vile, snake in the grass.

    Trump Launched Campaign to Discredit Potential FBI Witnesses

    The president targeted three bureau officials who could provide key testimony in the Mueller probe.

    President Donald Trump pressed senior aides last June to devise and carry out a campaign to discredit senior FBI officials after learning that those specific employees were likely to be witnesses against him as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to two people directly familiar with the matter.

    In testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8, recently fired FBI Director James Comey disclosed that he spoke contemporaneously with other senior bureau officials about potentially improper efforts by the president to curtail the FBI’s investigation of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

    Mueller is investigating whether Trump’s efforts constituted obstruction of justice.

    Not long after Comey’s Senate testimony, Trump hired John Dowd, a veteran criminal defense attorney, to represent him in matters related to Mueller’s investigation. Dowd warned Trump that the potential corroborative testimony of the senior FBI officials in Comey’s account would likely play a central role in the special counsel’s final conclusion, according to people familiar with the matter.

    In discussions with at least two senior White House officials, Trump repeated what Dowd had told him to emphasize why he and his supporters had to “fight back harder,” in the words of one of these officials.

    In a brief conversation Friday afternoon, Dowd denied the accounts of administration officials contained in this story as “flat-out wrong,” but he also refused to discuss what details were incorrect. “My advice to the president is confidential,” he told Foreign Policy.

    “You don’t know me,” Dowd added. “You don’t how I lawyer, and you don’t know what I communicated to the president and what I did not.”

    While Dowd’s private advice to the president would ordinarily be protected by attorney-client privilege, Mueller might be able to probe comments that Trump made to others about that legal advice by asking him directly about it as well as anyone else he shared that advice with.

    A person with direct knowledge of the matter said although Dowd explained the risks of senior FBI officials joining Comey in testifying against Trump, that information was part of a broader presentation to the president about Mueller’s investigation. It is not improper, but in fact is a duty, for an attorney to explain to a client how they are at risk, the source said. What may have been improper, however, were actions Trump took upon learning that information.

    Since Dowd gave him that information, Trump — as well as his aides, surrogates, and some Republican members of Congress — has engaged in an unprecedented campaign to discredit specific senior bureau officials and the FBI as an institution.

    The FBI officials Trump has targeted are Andrew McCabe, the current deputy FBI director and who was briefly acting FBI director after Comey’s firing; Jim Rybicki, Comey’s chief of staff and senior counselor; and James Baker, formerly the FBI’s general counsel. Those same three officials were first identified as possible corroborating witnesses for Comey in a June 7 article in Vox. Comey confirmed in congressional testimony the following day that he confided in the three men.

    In the past, presidents have attacked special counsels and prosecutors who have investigated them, calling them partisan and unfair. But no previous president has attacked a long-standing American institution such as the FBI — or specific FBI agents and law enforcement officials.

    Maybe they were two that were dreamed up in order to yet again attack the President.

    It's OK if you're still made your black President is gone after a failed 8 years. Please try to get over it without whining like a little bitch. You're embarrassing yourself again.

    The Democrats and the Deep State have put Trump in this situation. I don't blame Trump for fighting fire with fire.

    Trump targeting?? just how is Trump doing that?

    Those guys have impeached their own credibility. McCabe is taking early retirement/ Baker resigned or something.
    They are a cabal that needed to be outed...but what was "Trump's targeting" ROFL

    it's almost amusing how you major party morons play this tennis match of launching allegations, claim treason and nazism, and then blame the other side for doing it first. you're the reason why we're in a despotic environment of a fucked up nation anymore.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    There is no LAW broken. News Flash: The president has the constitutional authority to fire and hire anyone within the power and scope of his constitutionally designed office. He is the Boss of the DOJ, the NSA, the CIA, and the FBI. There can be no collusion no obstruction when a sitting president simply exercises his constitutional authority. It will be funny as hell when the (wink wink) special council attempts to grill the president on his THOUGHTS. That will be the end of the TRUMPED up charges. All the president has to do is ask the council just what CRIME they are investigating. Comey was fired because he's a proven CRIMINAL that has leaked and lied his way into federal prison.

    Can you name the crime subject to a presidential indictment? There is no crime. Trump can simply tell them to go to hell and follow up with the Supreme Court....If they think thats its a crime to exercise one's constitutional authority. Game Over. No collusion (even if it is proven....its not a crime) No OBSTRUCTION (even if they want to charge such) because there is no crime when one acts within the power and scope of the office he is serving.

    Of Course Trump wanted and demanded all these treasonous bastards be fired...NOW! But better heads prevailed and the STING was allowed to continue. Its started as a TRUMP "got your ass" entrapment plan and will end with a LEFT WING (dumb asses....) CHECK MATE! by the much smarter conservative party. In the end.....Obama and Clinton will be the one's going down in flames....all because the Right (unlike the left) followed the simple RULE OF LAW that protects this nation from such treason. The US Constitution.

    The real question is, "Who will come to the aid of the widow's son?" The masons are much superior to these left wing perverts.
