A new book on the media’s relationship with the Trump White House has revealed a FBI operation to specifically set up a senior member of the Trump administration in a move that eventually led to the original claims of obstruction of justice against the president.
According to the book, “Media Madness,” by Howard Kurtz, then deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe called White House chief of staff Reince Priebus shortly after the release of a fake news report in the New York Times to ask to speak to him privately, telling him that “everything” in the article was “bullsh*t” and not to be believed.
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway reports:
McCabe claimed to want Priebus to know the FBI’s perspective that this story was not true. Priebus pointed to the televisions that were going non-stop on the story. He asked if the FBI could say publicly what he had just told him. McCabe said he’d have to check, according to the book.
McCabe reportedly called back and said he couldn’t do anything about it. Then-FBI director James Comey reportedly called later and also said he couldn’t do anything, but did offer to brief the Senate Intelligence Committee on the matter later that week, suggesting they’d spill the beans publicly.Â
[…]
There seems to be a disparity between what FBI officials tell reporters under the cloak of anonymity and what they admit under oath or to those who are more knowledgeable of the matters at hand. Opponents of President Trump, be they the media, Democratic activists, or Never Trump Republicans, are moving on from Russia conspiracies to claims of obstruction of justice.
The McCabe initiated conversation with the White House was then quickly leaked to CNN, which gave cover for the entire mainstream media to spread disinformation regarding President Trump and his supposed obstruction of justice. (That literally didn’t happen)
An excerpt from Kurtz’s book makes clear that Priebus himself felt like he had been set up, not only by Andrew McCabe but also by James Comey himself.
Now, a week later, CNN was airing a breaking news story naming Priebus. According to ‘multiple U.S. officials,’ the network said, ‘the FBI rejected a White House request to publicly knock down media reports about communications between Donald Trump’s associates and Russians known to U.S. intelligence.’
Priebus was stunned by the implication that he was pressuring law enforcement. Had he been set up? Why was the FBI leaking this information when one of its top officials had initiated the conversation?
That’s right, the man who just stepped down from the FBI, the same man who the mainstream media has claimed has done nothing wrong, was the person who set up a meeting with the White House that was designed to then make it look as if Trump was pressuring the bureau regarding the Russian probe itself.
Or, in other words, a direct SET UP on the democratically elected President of the United States.
“Partisan operatives in or close to the FBI communicated snippets of information with reporters who didn’t demand proof or substantiation, then FBI officials denied to White House officials who knew the facts that they were seeding that information, then officials suggested that White House operatives were obstructing justice by asking for the truth to out. At a time when people are looking for patterns, this is a pattern of improper behavior that deserves focus from the media,” Hemingway concluded.
Make no mistake, this is hardcore, deep state level corruption and possible treason, aided DIRECTLY by the likes of CNN and the New York Times.
The rope is ready. Time for some public hangings to happen.
Your kids future ……

Lady’s and Gentleman, first they tried to use the soap box to get our government to hear their voice, they did listen. Next they tried to use the ballot box to elect fellow citizens, to make their wishes known, still they still did not listen. So now they are only left with the cartridge box, God help those in government who refuse to hear their voice now. Because if they still refuse to listen to the people, the next voice they will hear, will be the war cry of the people, followed by their gunfire.
Come and arrest me McCabe you FBI sack of shit.
The highest ranking law enforcement officer in the country is garbage. And we are expected to obey all you others without question?
Disappointed in Trump. His speech was manufactured and he didn’t believe a word he was saying.
So far, he hasn’t “locked her up” and in fact has done the opposite. Mexico isn’t paying for the wall, most of the Carrier people in Indianapolis aren’t keeping their jobs, people aren’t getting an insurance plan that is better and also cheaper than Obamacare, the US is not more respected than with previous Presidents, Trump is not playing less golf than Obama did, or hardly ever leaving the White House as he promised.
Trump isn’t draining any swamp, he hasn’t hired the best and the brightest, he hasn’t torn up NAFTA, or the Iran nuclear deal, he hasn’t grown the economy by 4%, he hasn’t placed lifetime ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections, he hasn’t provided guarantee 6-week paid leave for new moms, and many other promises. Oh, and we have not seen an increase in our paychecks. For those who have, don’t spend the extra $5 all in one place.
And best of all, Hillary isn’t president of the US. Trump could do absolutely nothing at all and I would still be happy that she isn’t in power to destroy us. That’s what matters.
CrackerJack, You missed my point.
I wasn’t implying “should’ve voted for Hillary.” At all. I shudder to think where we’d be right now if she were in the Oval Office especially with Bill and Chelsea able and eager to influence her decisions. I was simply expressing my disappointment in Trump. I was also implying they are all pos not to be trusted.
Agreed, Marie.
Go whine at huffypo. President TRUMP is doing a fine job! Hes accomplished A LOT and its only his first year! If you feel disappointed, you CLEARLY watch the FAKE NEWS.
Watched the SOTU thing on tv. NLP talk to the max. Avoided several key things and relied on emotional shit. A good speech as far as pacifying the sheeple but kinda telling too. Smart cities? Thats agenda 2030 all the way. No mention of his approval of drilling and fracking damage to everyone in the area? No mention of his policy of anti-marijuana and anti 10th amendment? No mention of his anti 5th amendment of stealing peoples shit without a conviction? All fluff and puff? If the people are in my way we will just crush them and take it? Did any of you catch that shit?
SOTU Speech: Trump thinks America began in the 1700’s with the Colonists and ignores the previous 5000 years of Native Americans existence, and BTW the US Constitution was heavily based on the Iroquois and Mohawk form of Democracy where equality of individual rights is the foundation of the Constitution. Just ask Benjamin Franklin about that fact. And BTW/ The Mohawks built the skyscrapers and Empire State Building and original bridges in New York. Trump seems ignorant of these facts of American History. And fails to give credit to who really built America. Shame on you DJT. And Trump screwed the Indians on the court orfered stoppage of the oil pipeline in the Dakotas’ that will destroy their drinking water source for their villages. Trump pisses on the real true Americans. Just like naming Jerusalem as the squatters capitol of Palestine. Another land theft scam. Trump has no respect for land ownership rights. Sounds like a typical land developer take what you want and screw the rest. Other than these factual points I mosty agreed with the rest of his SOTU Speech. Hell yeah build the wall.
I agree: not a single Somali should be let into the US until Native Americans are helped to get employment and build real wealth. Canada, disgustingly, gave a senior cabinet post to a Somali before it has ever given such a post to a First Nations person. Somalis have never fought for freedom or North America like native people have done over and over again. Yet, these Muslim interlopers who screwed up their own country are then given welfare and fast-track citizenship. That must end.
Fuck the native Americans. They roamed these lands for thousands of years yet still lived primatively in caves and teepees when our white ancestors arrived. Native Americans are just as worthless as blacks in their African jungle villages. No contributions, no innovations. We civilized these lands. If not for white people, the redskins would still be hunting with bows and spears and dancing around the campfire with stupid feathers in their hair.
ASSHOLE!!
Our Native American brothers & sisters were quite happy with their way of life since it existed for thousands of years, what went really wrong were the colonist who came to our lands for religious reasons and to start life anew, but they got greedy and wanted it all; pushing the Native Americans when they fought back to keep what they were free to use for all those years and were then put on reservations where they had to depend on hand-outs from the government,which often didn’t come, be given blankets infected with small pox, and to have the Buffalo slaughtered by the 1000’s which was their main source of food only to have those Buffalo wasted as the white hunters only wanted the hides. Native American people wasted nothing, they used every part including the teeth and bones.
As far as innovations and contributions are concerned they were innovative and contributed for thousands of years practicing conservation and making do with what they had already here when the white man arrived upon our shores they were the ones who squandered the resources put in place by the Original Americans.
What was done to the Native Americans then is something that may come to pass in the not to distance future if we aren’t careful.
I am proud to say my husband is 3/4 Native American and still practices many ways taught to him by his Native parents, these ways have never lead him astray and he is a far better man for it. He hunts and fishes and raises our own food. We have never been without and for as long as he lives we will never be, our son’s are following in his footsteps and they and their families will also be secure in that knowledge.
You need to read American history before you continue thinking as you seem to, don’t believe everything you see in TV westerns the real truth of those times would have never made it to the TV screen.

Rename yourself to blow-hard. No one gives a shit about “native americans”. Name ONE accomplishment they have contributed to society. All they do is sit around and get high & drunk while sucking off the govt TIT. Maybe you should move to a reserve since you love them so much.
The Dimocrap lame response wasn’t any surprise. Pretty Boy Slow Joe Kinnidy. He lost me when he mentioned Fair Share.
The SOTU speech went …. okay. Just okay. I’m not one for emotionalisms and displays. I do feel for those who have lost, am happy that there are good Americans; but, I needn’t embarrassing stand-up reminders. For the lack of standup reminders when the camera panned the floor was the most telling. Almost half the entire assembly sat as if crazy-glued to their seats throughout with what appeared to be a batcrap crazy lemon-sucking Pelosi and a bunch of handout seeking minorities glaring and grousing visibly. It is a dream and a dream alone to think this nation is not divided. We are at civil war in essence sans the gunfire only for the most part. Trump is trying; but, I felt at the end it is time he faced reality and realized that government is not a business, and is not meant to be. What we have now is so far from the origin of this nation, short of a true revolution in all ways; or, another real civil war…. we have reached a Waterloo moment and defeat is just a step away.
ho hum….give it a week, and THEN we will talk……..one thing’s for damn SURE, THEY know a lot more than WE do…..but it’s comin’ out SOON…
A FreeThoughtProject article says: Wikileaks says that the CFR Council of Foreign Relations controls all of the MSM News outlets narrative and coordinated propaganda:
It is no secret that over the last 4 decades, mainstream media has been consolidated from dozens of competing companies to only six. Hundreds of channels, websites, news outlets, newspapers, and magazines, making up ninety percent of all media is controlled by very few people—giving Americans the illusion of choice.
While six companies controlling most everything the Western world consumes in regard to media may sound like a sinister arrangement, the Swiss Propaganda Research center (SPR) has just released information that is even worse.
The research group was able to tie all these media companies to a single organization—the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
For those who may be unaware, the CFR is a primary member of the circle of Washington think-tanks promoting endless war. As former Army Major Todd Pierce describes, this group acts as “primary provocateurs” using “‘psychological suggestiveness’ to create a false narrative of danger from some foreign entity with the objective being to create paranoia within the U.S. population that it is under imminent threat of attack or takeover.”
We all knew this, but it id now confirmed who controls our FAKE NEWS and why it is time to dump your Cable LIE TV subscription. Are you still paying $100+ per month to be lied to? Shame on you!!!
I haven’t always been such a nice guy, I used to think I was possessed by something like this… I’m much better now lol.

I like how Trump took a shot at the disrespectful kneegrows kneeling for the National anthem and flag. The Superbowl is taking shots against veterans and National Pride. I also hope The Eagles kicks Tom Brady’s cheating Asshooll.
He mostly rocked it with the SOTU. He called time on the moral relativism and BS of the past three decades. He placed employment and family to the top and said ‘dreamers’, scammers and drug dealers are going to be where they should be, at the bottom of the pile.
Get ready for McCabe to enter Gitmo. More coming…..
I did not watch it, never watched any of them ever but thanks for the reviews. Sounded brutal.
