Speaking of lit-o-jon (and Bobbie and our local “news director”), seems kinda eerie that they remain strangely quiet today about the horrible unspeakable way Trump ruthlessly fired that dedicated civil servant, McCabe. “What an a-hole” Trump was for axing McCabe, to use lit-o-jon’s words.
If you want to cut through the reason Jeff Sessions fired McCabe, go straight to page 2 of the report.

I am so glad Comey is going on ABC to show the world what a paragon of integrity he is.
Everything they do blows up in their faces. He is indeed a slimeball. And Comey says Trump is “unmoored from traditional institutional values”, lol
Remember when Comey was so appalled when Trump tweeted his famous wild “wiretap” claims? Comey was so shocked and disgusted that he asked the Justice Department to issue a statement refuting Trumps wild irresponsible unbelievable wiretapping charges…………
“So here was an FBI director using the front page of a newspaper to libel a sitting president, all while a FISA warrant based on Hillary’s campaign research, which gave Comey the power to reach into Trump Tower, sat on his desk. In retrospect, the article is laughably dishonest, with the Times pretending to wonder why Comey chose to leak a denial to it rather than make a formal denial. It wasn’t much of a puzzle; he was lying his head off. But the Times struck an innocent tone:
It is not clear why Mr. Comey did not issue a statement himself. He is the most senior law enforcement official who was kept on the job as the Obama administration gave way to the Trump administration. And while the Justice Department applies for intelligence-gathering warrants, the F.B.I. keeps its own records and is in a position to know whether Mr. Trump’s claims are true. While intelligence officials do not normally discuss the existence or nonexistence of surveillance warrants, no law prevents Mr. Comey from issuing the statement.
Meanwhile, Comey sat back as Jim Clapper, another dolt he could manipulate, reinforced his lie on television, which the Times included in its story to bolster Comey’s leak:”

There is just something about Sarah. Sure, she walked into a tough job and was a bit wobbly at first, but, damn girl, she is hitting her stride.
Sarah Hucklebee Sanders, you complete me. I feel empowered.
“This is nothing more than a poorly executed PR stunt by Comey to desperately rehabilitate his tattered reputation and enrich his own bank account by peddling a book that belongs in the bargain bin of the fiction section,” she continued, “instead of being remembered as a dedicated servant in the pursuit of justice like so many other of his colleagues at the FBI.”
“Comey will be forever known as a disgraced partisan hack that broke his sacred trust with the president of the United States, the dedicated agents of the FBI and the American people he vowed to faithfully serve,” Sanders asserted.
“One of the president’s greatest achievements will go down as firing director James Comey.”

Walt, I liked the report out of the UK that Putin did not fire anything at our stuff. It didn’t mention if the asadis fired anything of note. The shots from Damascus had some tube AA. On one of the defense sites they were talking about all the hi altitude drone activity in the last few days on the edges. It begins to sound like the trump tweet was a set up. Turn on the lights and the roaches scurry, but the drones were watching it all. I like they hit Tetris. It sounds like the frogs new deep penetration strike weapon had a good night.

Funny you should mention that. An excerpt released today of Comey’s Sunday night ABC interview tells us the first time Comey met President Trump, he informed our President about the dossier saying he was in bed with prostitutes peeing all over the place and the Russians had a video of it. Trump said that complete bull pucky and asked if Comey is investigating that pack of lies….to get to the bottom of it.
The media (Comey’s) take on the exchange was Trump’s tie was too long, the size of Trump’s hands did not appear small, the white (pale skin) below Trump’s eyes, and of course, the 1% comment which is all about his view of new President’s marital relationship.
What Comey did not say is “Mr. President, there is a dossier floating around paid by Hillary’s campaign, the DNC, and Obama that says you were in a bed with hookers pissing all over the place and the Russians have a tape of it.”
Hmmm. The tape of Golden Shower has never emerged and you can bet your bottom dollar that the Deep State Clinton Industrial Complex would have gleefully paid ten million bucks for it and it would have been released and played on CNN 24/7 and on the Rachel Manboy show months ago.
Double hmmm. So that is where Punchy got his “what concerns me is Trump is open to blackmail by Putin, his buddy”…..over and over and over again.
Triple hmmmm. What concerns me is that our “news director” was soooo easily duped, time and time again. But, why were the Russians cheering when Trump won? Why, why, why? Was it because it’s blackmail time? Bombs away.
