‘Crossfire Hurricane’: An FBI Insider Story On James Comey And How He Targeted Trump
Only a handful of people knew about the Christopher ‘Steele dossier’ back then, they were a selected team close to James Comey, and they knew, based on the evidence, that the dossier was unverified.
Campbell reveals fresh new details about the meeting his boss [Comey] had with President Donald Trump at Trump Tower on January 6, 2017.
Read these passages from the book:
On our drive to Trump Tower, I asked the agent seated up front to slow our roll, and he eventually found an open space a few blocks away where we could pull over and wait for the others to catch up. “Do you have the laptop?” Comey inquired, the third time he had asked me that day. “Check,” I replied, pointing to the vehicle behind us, where an FBI communications specialist sat with a secure bag containing a laptop computer that was certified for the transmission of information classified as Top Secret.
“Once safely back in the car, I immediately handed Comey the secure laptop. He didn’t say a thing—the first time we had ever climbed into a vehicle without exchanging words—but began typing. He paused every so often to stare out the window as we navigated the city, and then went back to his writing.
“After about twenty minutes, and following a thorough proofread, he handed me the computer, pointing to the place on the screen where I should begin reading. I was now learning Comey’s version of a meeting that would spell the beginning of the end of his career, and one that would mark the start of a veritable hurricane—a torrent of attacks on the rule of law that would risk threatening the viability of our national institutions of justice.”One of the most bizarre meetings of my life,” James Comey said woefully before resuming his gaze out the window at the passing cityscape.”As Breitbart reports, the significance of Comey’s actions take on new context after the Justice Department’s inspector general report last month related that prior to the briefing, FBI members on Comey’s team discussed the need to memorialize the exchanges between Comey and Trump just in case Trump made statements relevant to the agency’s Russia probe.
In other words, they plotted to stealthily use statements Trump said to Comey in a private briefing to inform their Russia collusion investigation without telling Trump that his comments were being memorialized for the controversial probe. This despite Comey admitting to telling Trump that the president was...

Schiff Shafts Biden
It’s not my imagination. MSN’s Chris Hayes tweets: “ I am watching this something turn into a story about Biden and am going to pass out.”
Let’s go to the old journalism rule, that a story should tell readers who, what, where, and sometimes why to see what’s news and what’s nonsense.
The Washington Post printed on its front page a story that the president made a call and a promise in it to an unspecified foreign leader, which so disturbed someone, he reported it. The story was sketchy, to say the least. Peter Suderman captured it precisely in a tweet:
So, a thing happened, and Trump was involved, and apparently so was a foreign leader, and someone in the natsec field became upset. But it's not clear what happened, or who the foreign leader was, or who is upset, or why?
Snapping at the hook, no less than three Democratic congressmen have opened separate investigations into whether the President is conspiring with Ukraine for favorable election results -- Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings, and Eliot Engel.
Let’s walk back the cat, look at the latest reports and we’ll see how their desperate efforts to rid themselves of the President who’s almost certain to win a second term boomerang on Joe Biden.
Who?
The identity of the person the press claims is a whistleblower is unknown as yet. He, as the Other McCain notes, is almost certainly “a Democrat operative [snip] a perfect example of the ‘Deep State’ problem that Trump’s supporters have been talking about for three years. The bureaucrats seem to believe they should have more influence on U.S. policy than the President himself, if the President doesn’t share their world view.”
As the President observed earlier, all his conversations with foreign leaders are surely listened in on by various members of the intelligence community here and abroad, so the report of a “whistleblower” having access to secretive conversations seems utter bunk. Acting Director of...
