[QUOTE="Zable, post: 115675, member: 47"] Gotta love that campaign of disinformation. It hangs folk out to dry ...but, you know what, the wind eventually separates the chaff from the wheat. Joseph diGenova, somehow a member of the lofty Gridiron Club of Washington DC (reputed to be one of the most prestigious journalistic organisations in the US) has branded Mr Comey not just a “dirty cop” who “dirtied up everybody else around him” but also a “political assassin”. If anyone has forgotten or doesn't know who Mr diGenova is, he’s a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and served as an independent counsel and a special counsel in the 1990s. He has been among the favoured guests Sean Hannity has brought on his 9pm show on Fox News to talk about “obvious Deep State crime families trying to take down the president (Mr Trump),” consisting of the Clinton “family,” the Comey “family” and the Mueller “family.” [URL]https://www.twincities.com/2018/04/12/trump-touts-sean-hannitys-show-on-deep-state-crime-families-led-by-mueller-comey-and-clintons/[/URL] About a week ago (Wednesday), Mr diGenova told Mr Hannity that “Attorney General Jeff Sessions should fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein 'tomorrow morning'". Mr Trump had wanted to hire Mr diGenova as his top lawyer (him and his wife, Victoria Toensing, herself a former federal prosecutor) for his team for the Russia investigation but couldn’t because the diGenovas said in the end that there were “conflicts of interest”, related to Ms Toensing’s representation of members of Mr Trump’s campaign who are also witnesses in the Russia investigation. Instead, they would work for the president on "other legal matters" said another of Mr Trump’s lawyers, Jay Sekulow. Meanwhile, Kos Media LLC is running this about Mr diGenova: [URL]https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/4/17/1757827/-How-rogue-FBI-agents-Guiliani-and-diGenova-may-have-pushed-Comey-to-hand-Trump-the-White-House[/URL] And then, there’s also the CNN exclusive that first revealed the GOP plan to discredit Mr Comey. [URL]https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/12/politics/trump-comey-publicity-tour/index.html[/URL] According to [URL]https://www.ctpost.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Trump-allies-are-launching-an-elaborate-campaign-12829178.php[/URL] , that plan has 3 prongs: [LIST] [*]"Comey has a long history of misstatements and misconduct" as well as "bizarre decisions, contradictory statements and acting against Department of Justice and FBI protocol". [*]"Attempts to smear the Trump administration are nothing more than retaliation by a disgraced former official." [*]"Comey isn't credible — just ask Democrats." [/LIST] Is this all just a partisan battle for the mid-terms, ya think? And, whadda ya know, here's Mr Comey on Mr Obama: [INDENT][INDENT]"He held me back after one of the very last meetings I had with him, after the election, and said he didn't wanna talk to me about any particular case, 'cause he was very scrupulous about that. And he said, 'But I wanna just tell you something generally.

"Then he looked me in the eye and he said, 'Nothing has happened, nothing, in the last year that has changed my view of that.'"[/INDENT][/INDENT] [URL]http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/emotional-moment-comey-shared-obama-election/story?id=54487134[/URL] [/QUOTE]
