    Devin’s going back to brief the White House again soon, I guess.

    Very similar to the way the IRS tried to manage the story of denying tax exempt status to conservative groups.

    They’re trying to get ahead of the story, and control the narrative — because the full story is going to be really bad.

    It’s crazy too, Flynn has been charged with lying to the FBI, while a simple transcript, let alone a recording, of Hillary Clinton’s FBI interviews wasn’t even made.

    And the same partisans in the FBI were behind both of these decisions.

    Now, in what appears to be an orchestrated leak, both the Post and Times published the reason for Strzok's demotion, along with concerns that the revelation might help President Trump. "Among federal law enforcement officials, there is great concern that exposure of the texts they exchanged may be used by the president and his defenders to attack the credibility of the Mueller probe and the FBI more broadly," the Post reported. The Times reported that "the existence of the text messages is likely to fuel claims by Mr. Trump that he is the target of a witch hunt."

    Knowing the President has a beautiful and sexy wife must be particularly tough for someone like you, who’s never felt a woman’s touch.

    Remember, though: I am “creepy” and misogynistic because I would have edited the Sepp Blatter headline.

    So, before the election, we were told that if Trump refused to accept the results of the election, he would be undermining our entire democratic process.

    But now, it’s Hillary Clinton and her supporters who have attempted to discredit President Trump’s victory.

    We were told the FBI was full of Republicans, who hated Hillary, and were working to elect Trump. The opposite turned out to be true.

    We were told that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to steal the election. It turns out the Clinton campaign literally funded an effort to compile, and distribute, false information out of Russia to defame Trump, and sway voters.

    And, while folks associated with the Trump campaign are being charged with crimes for lying, everyone in the FBI, the Clinton campaign, and Fusion GPS, is stonewalling, and refusing to answer questions or provide documents.

    Since the FBI itself is at the heart of this, a special prosecutor is needed, and folks like Comey, Strzok, and Page are going to need to be put under oath.

    And, of course the whole Clinton email episode will need to be re-examined, and a new interview with her will be required.

    Impeach President Clinton.

    It’s the only viable solution.

    There’s a whole lot more evidence of wrongdoing here than there is related to anything to do with Trump and Russia.

    The Clinton campaign just employed multiple “cut outs” — law firms, private investigators, Fusion GPS — to try and obscure this fact, but it’s now been exposed.

    And now that we know how partisan and politicized the FBI leadership was, and since testimony from folks like Comey will be necessary, only an independent investigation, led by a special prosecutor can get to the bottom of it.

    You have no idea if that’s true or not.

    A lot more evidence that’s been made public.
