The Comey Mystery

In all the drama of the past couple years, there have been, of course, a number of mysteries. None has bugged me more than the question of Comey. Even as far back as his HPSCI testimony last year, when I knew he botched the Clinton investigation for which I lost a six-pack in a bet, I still blogged here that I felt he was being sincere and it wouldn't help for everyone to pile on to the FBI. (An opinion shown to be very wrong.) But the more the investigation proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the FBI was in the bag for Hillary, the question has only grown more pervasive: Why the hell did Comey re-open the investigation against Hillary? It's the one piece - and it's a huge piece - that doesn't fit the puzzle. Why would he appear to be a totally crooked cop in all other aspects, but then he springs an October Surprise on her? For a long time it seemed at least possible that he was trying to be fair but he was just very, very incompetent. Of course the recent reports from Congress destroy that naive hope.

To my great relief, the mystery has been solved, thanks to our favorite lol-texting lovers in the FBI. Here is a text recently released by the IG investigation. The "Inbox" texts were written by Peter Strzok, the high-ranking agent who interviewed Hillary Clinton, ran the Trump counterintelligence investigation, and then was chosen to be part of the "independent" counsel.

George Toscas is the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Counterterrorism. He has some sort of oversight over the FBI. I don't know what the job entails, but other texts show that the two star-crossed lovers were interested in keeping certain information away from him. They seem pretty concerned that he found out that the NYPD had Anthony's Weiner's laptop, which had more of Hillary's classified emails on it. [Can we just take a minute to appreciate that Hillary's rigged election and phony FBI investigation were undone because her girlfriend's husband was Skyping rape fantasies to a 15-year-old girl?] The FBI did not report the new evidence when the acquired it. They sat on them for close to a month. It wasn't until a Deputy AG who wasn't in the "secret society" (as Strzok referred to the cabal within the FBI) caught wind of the Weiner incident that they were forced to go public.

Here's the big thing. (If this wasn't already a scandal of epic proportions.) Look at the date on that message. Oct, 21, 2016. Do you believe in coincidences? The FBI submitted a fraudulent FISA warrant against Trump the same day they realized they were going to have to re-open the Clinton investigation. Maybe it was a coincidence. Here's another theory.

The FBI "secret society" - shown in the texts to have been desperately afraid of a Trump victory - had an "oh shit" moment on Oct 21. They didn't have enough time to drag their feet until the election, over two weeks away. If they couldn't save Hillary from a scandal, they'd try to at least expose Trump to a scandal. But their own counterintelligence investigation had nothing but a pee pee dossier to show for it.

So they got the FISA warrant, and they got it in a hurry. This explains why the application was so extraordinarily shoddy. You think, "Surely they didn't think they could prosecute Trump with evidence obtained with a bogus dossier and a Yahoo News article!" They weren't trying to obtain prosecutable evidence. Clearly. They were trying to uncover a Trump scandal. They misled the FISA court so that they could run through all his communications, sure that there was some scandal to be found. And that's the real kicker: they didn't find anything. Imagine the hell these traitors have been living through. And the worst is yet to come.
