    The RNC is spearheading a "Lyin' Comey" ad campaign and website to counter his book tour.

    Has the Trump org run out of cutesy derogatory acronyms that they need to reuse the "Lyin' Ted" moniker?

    He's never given Putin a nickname. And he's like 5'7". You'd think....

    That's because Putin and Russia have never done anything contrary to US interests or criticized Trump. ;)

    Crooked Comey would fit better. Of course he's also used "crooked" on Hillary already.

    I believe that campaign kicked off when Comey started lying.

    Clintonista Lanny Davis does not think much of Comey either
    He was interviewed by the IG and predicts Horowitz will come down "very hard" on Comey.

    Davis thinks Comey should have been fired by Obama and Lynch. In regard to Comey's summer 2016 presser announcing that no charges should be brought against Hillary Clinton for her use of an unauthorized email server during her time as secretary of state, he said --
    "I was interviewed by the inspector general. I only told one reporter that and it was never written. So this is my first to say that I was interviewed after my making a phone call researching my book that I considered James Comey to have acted unethically and that he should have been fired by Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch because he violated Justice Department policies by holding a press conference and expressing his opinion publicly on the evidence."

    On Comey's subsequent presser to say he was reopening the investigation less than two weeks before the 2016 presidential election, Davis said --
    "That's a firing offense. His decision to write a letter 11 days before the election, whether it hurt Clinton or hurt Trump, was not consistent with 50 years of Justice Department policy to do nothing that might impact presidential elections."

    Davis gave the IG some documents he found researching his book --
    "Documents that were never seen before, but posted two months after the election that showed that the whole email investigation was botched. So I think that's where the inspector general will come down on Comey very hard as well as on [former FBI Deputy Director Andrew] McCabe."

    STEPHANOPOULOS: Did you tell him that the Steele dossier had been financed by his political opponents?

    COMEY: No. I didn’t...

    STEPHANOPOULOS: But did he have a right to know that?

    COMEY: That it had been financed by his political opponents? I don't know the answer to that.

    Comey also took a swipe at Lynch but then does not offer up the proof

    This is a pretty damning admission -- Comey would have hidden the discovery that Hillary's classified emails were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop if, based on the polling at the time, he thought Trump had a shot to win.

    As we already know from the Strzok-Page texts, this thought process was pervasive at the FBI. They are admitting they went easy on Hillary because they were convinced she would be the next President.

    Section 2.4 of FBI's Prepublication Review Manual covers:

    PROHIBITED DISCLOSURES
    FBI Employees shall not disclose "information that relates to ... the substantive merits of any ongoing or open investigation or case."

    "Lordy, I hope there are tapes."

    Seems like foreshadowing. Just saying.

    Partial IG Horowitz report to Congress on Friday

    "The Department of Justice’s inspector general is expected to transmit to Congress on Friday a hotly anticipated report criticizing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s disclosures to the media ahead of the 2016 election....
    * * *

    The report... is only a portion of a larger review Horowitz announced in January 2017, covering a broad range of issues about potential misconduct at the FBI and Justice Department in advance of the 2016 presidential election. Horowitz said late last year that he anticipated completing that report in March or April of this year. However, there have been some indications in recent weeks that the timeline may have stretched out...."

    According to the just-released DOJ OIG report on Andrew McCabe, he was a perjuring fool, committing multiple felonies --

    McCabe --
    -- lied to the FBI director
    -- lied to FBI agents under oath, and
    -- lied twice to DOJ OIG investigators under oath

    There some chatter out there that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is feverishly trying to block release of the full IG report.

    Why?

    Apparently it is so bad that the entire FBI and DOJ are called into question. The part of the report that was released today about McCabe is said to have been "heavily edited" to omit McCabe’s role in Flynn’s 302s. And this report, or part of the report, was just about one leak. There were many other leaks to be dealt with.

    FBI special counsel Lisa Page and counter-intel deputy assistant director Peter Strzok were not mentioned is this part of the IG report. However, their previously published text messages make clear that were intimately involved in McCabe's lengthy effort to illegally leak classified info.

    McCabe actually lied about lying. What a weasily, unethical lowlife. How is it possible that someone so absent of character could assume such a position at the FBI? President maybe, but not the FBI!

    Interesting letter --

    This addresses that there are three separate OIG investigations -
    (1) the McCabe probe (released today)
    (2) the 'election review' (the big one, scheduled for a May release) and
    (3) the FISC review (release date unknown)

    **** is about to get real. McClatchy is reporting Mueller has evidence Cohen WAS in Prague in the Sumner of 2016.

    Cohen claimed he'd never been to Prague in his life. If Trump's fixer did go there it validates part of the dossier and begins to look like Trump did work with the Russians. I've claimed Trump was not knowingly working with the Russians. If Trump's personal lawyer and stated close friend met with the Russians in Prague as the dossier claimed, then I don't see any way Trump was oblivious to the Russian contacts.

    It’s about time something got real with this crap other than FBI agents getting fired. Let’s hear the big collusion. It must be juicy stuff!
