Obama - "Fire the FBI Director NOW"

First, we should settle any possible questions about the political position of this old, high desert blogger. MeanMesa will vote for Hillary Clinton, but that vote will not be based on any great expectation that her Presidency will be anything to be fondly remembered.

Hatch Act or Not: It's Time For James Comey To Go.

Monday Morning.

By the way..WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE

Even among the careful players at the atmospheric level of a government executive office, the sabotaging of the final remaining shred of the old American democracy is NOT a "personnel issue." When that opportunistic sabotage is conducted brazenly -- in the harsh light of day -- the "niceties" of "correct" executive management procedures on the part of the President are not in play.

"Opportunistic?"

Yes. For anyone not already painfully aware of the state of the electorate a bit of explanation is in order. Comey and his Republican friends correctly spotted an existing opportunity, and after spotting, it they recklessly lurched forward into a scheme to fully exploit it.

In this case the "prize" at the bottom of the pit of their treachery and treason was the opportunity to elect Donald Trump. The "opportunity" they intended to employ for this bit of mischief was the extraordinarily low caliber of the Trump voter's education, information and understanding -- along with the extraordinarily high degree of fear and hatred Trump and the media have managed to incite in these same voters.

Perhaps the greatest aspect of this "opportunity" is that the electoral damage it has created cannot be undone. American voters are exhausted. They've been lied to over and over again. They have been stripped of the opportunity to consider any policy positions during the campaigns. They have been systematically terrified either by the dreadful possibility that Trump might win or the relentless media insistence that "they just don't trust Hillary." They have watched everything from Presidential debates to any reference to very pressing policy decisions evaporate before their eyes.

Not really any important policy decisions facing the next President? After watching the campaign, one might think so.

For example, the Russians ['Schizophrenics from America are sharpening nuclear weapons for Moscow,' says Russian government-run TV network./INDEPENDENT UK] and the Chinese [HIGH ALERT: China Prepares For War Against U.S. as Russia Edges on Nuclear Catastrophe?!/USAPOLITICS] are both rehearsing preparedness measures for nuclear war.

Can anyone recall even so much as a mention of this in the campaigns?

A lot of effort and a lot of dollars have been invested in making absolutely certain that this thing looks utterly hopeless. Even the perpetually optimistic [joke] MeanMesa is a bit shaken: "We all knew that we were in the last day to day process of cementing our new oligarchic masters into command. The stakes are high. Could we really have expected these heavily soiled political creatures to somehow have acted any more honorably?"

It is not surprising that the FBI Director sent his vacuous letter to the Republican Chairmen of eight committees in the Republican controlled House of Representatives. Leaks were inevitable, anticipated and immediate. The useless domestic media careened into the "content free" hyperbolics without any hesitation.

Ratings would depend on whether the FBI "nothing burger" could be manipulated into a change in the polls. In fact, MeanMesa's "nothing burger" seems to be dripping grease on an old text book about the Hatch Act. [If you're unfamiliar with this, here's a link: What is the Hatch Act -- and did James Comey break it?/CNN]

Watch Out, America! There's a Smoking Gun!

Except there isn't.

Comey's Letter, and "Things" To Notice

Please watch for both what's there and what's NOT there.
This just keeps on getting better and better.

Although you may be doing a "double take" on the contents of this letter as you return again and again to finally "notice" the "smoking gun," MeanMesa encourages you to...uh...just relax. At least, let's say, try to relax as much as possible while watching the nation is shed the last vestige of representative democracy.

There is no "smoking gun."

However, even though there is no "smoking gun," Comey's cautious treachery has worked wonders. For what it's worth, NBC reported this Sunday evening that Clinton -- who had been enjoying something between 8 and 12 point lead yesterday -- was showing a 2 point lead in NBC's national polls today. This treasonous little rat may have just elected President Donald J. Trump.

The Letter

Was this an "innocent blunder?"

It would have hardly required an intellectual master mind to write this letter in a manner which would have:

1. covered Comey's bases concerning later criticism

2. had no particular effect on the outcome of the election going on at the same time

3. manifested some evidence of any concern for the conduct of the country's democratic responsibilities

4. been consistent with the fact that the FBI has no incriminating evidence whatsoever

Anticipating the incredible backlash which would emerge from his letter, Comey sent this memo to all FBI employees. 

Comey's internal memo to FBI employees:

To all:

This morning I sent a letter to Congress in connection with the Secretary Clinton email investigation. Yesterday, the investigative team briefed me on their recommendation with respect to seeking access to emails that have recently been found in an unrelated case. Because those emails appear to be pertinent to our investigation, I agreed that we should take appropriate steps to obtain and review them.

Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record. At the same time, however, given that we don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression. In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood, but I wanted you to hear directly from me about it.

Comey's Claim to Fame

How in the world did this sold out con artist wind up as Obama's FBI Director?

Director Comey insinuated himself into the Obama Administration via a trick seldom employed by right wing reactionaries. He demonstrated integrity. Here's the story from the time: Gonzales Hospital Episode Detailed/Washington Post

Refresh your memory.

He reverted to his more normal role as a Manchurian toady after he had implanted himself in a position from which he could do some real damage.

Who Didn't Even Bother Reading Comey's Letter

What's fair for the goose is fair for the gander.

Well, Director Comey isn't the only one who can conduct this sort of careful investigation. MeanMesa, upon seeing what Comey had just done, immediately launched a similar investigation of the FBI Director, himself.

We HAD to have "answers," right?

Please don't eat me!  [image]

Happily, MeanMesa's investigation began paying dividends right away. For a start, the following photograph has been located.

Although Comey himself apparently does not appear in the photograph, MeanMesa has opened the investigation to determine if this agitated child has been frightened by the possibility of being a victim of Director Comey's possible child cannibalism.

Watch this blog! There will be more news here just as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, MeanMesa is rushing this latest news to the Congress. Naturally, this content can also be purchased by the media -- for the right price.
