Assesing "Loyalty" Trump Queried FBI Acting Director McCabe How He Voted FBI Wray Threat To Resign Liar Trump Perjurer Sessions Press To Fire McCabe "Fox And Felons" Rallies Radically Corrupt GOP Prop Up Liar Trump Any Price

UPDATES to 24 January 2018

       Tuesday, 14 November 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Washington Post Monday, 13 November 2017 article "All The Known Times The Trump Campaign Met With The Russians" linked to below details the at least 30 then known contacts established to date between members of the Trump campaign up to its highest levels at least some of which President Trump was actively aware despite Trump's earlier false public blanket denials about Russian contacts those contacts including some Russians now known to have been in direct contact with the Kremlin and/or Putin himself.
       This accounting of Russian contacts was later acknowledged by Trump campaign members only after having been publicly revealed following all Trump campaign members' initial untruthful blanket denials of any Russian contacts. These denials include those notably by the longtime Trump campaign supporter racist disgrace senator now Attorney General Jeff Sessions who has been confirmed as the nation's highest law enforcement official despite having serially publicly perjured himself under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee further perjuring himself when generously given opportunities to amend his untruthful answers including those in writing on the basis of the repeated fiction presumably that Sessions was not perjuring himself but just was confused when making sworn untrue denials each time he was questioned about Russians.
       Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has proven himself willing to abuse the power of his bought chairmanship of the committee intentionally to divert the Trump-Russia investigation from the truth at least as long as possible failing miserably in his duty to uphold but instead even potentially criminally obstructing justice and suborning treason and/or aiding and abetting sedition in the act of causing waste, fraud and abuse in the service of chasing transparently false diversionary narratives consistent with such like efforts concocted by other recognized compromised congressional Republicans reliably demonstrating fealty to party first over country in violation of their oaths to uphold and defend the United States Constitution.
       Likewise Senator Grassley solely is to blame abusing his power to shield Sessions from prosecution for his clearly felonious sworn Senate perjury to date which fair-minded other members of the committee otherwise might be expected to pursue further without hesitation as Sessions meanwhile continues to do his best to avoid finding himself once again seated and publicly sworn before the committee even though Sessions undeservedly now has been handed the position of and is serving as U.S. Attorney General therefore is expected to make at least some appearances before the congressional committees overseeing the DOJ with some regularity and on demand.
       As of 10 a.m. Tuesday, 14 November 2017 Sessions rather than testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee as was anticipated by the preceding introductory paragraph instead was publicly seated and sworn before the House Judiciary Committee with Chairman Goodlatte (R-VA) who by all appearances is at least as partisan in his position as Chairman Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is more apparent from each subsequent testimony sitting of Sessions that his none-too-subtle technique attempting to obscure and obfuscate his repeated perjury is to adopt an aggressive posture of being confounded by straightforward questions burning up the limited time of congressional questioners without giving them any coherent answer while attacking them for expecting him to understand English under pressure and repeatedly turning for support to the chair in tired staged performances of outraged honor at being "rushed" thus unable to provide any coherent answer for which he might be further liable for prosecution for perjury.
       Sessions presents as the sneaky stealth racist he is none too intelligent but well-practiced in his attempts at deception. The best and most just disposition for him would be some sort of proceeding following which if so adjudicated he end up in prison for his repeated felonious behavior with more doubtless yet to be committed and/or discovered as the case may be. There certainly is no place for Sessions anywhere in the U.S. Justice Department much less at its top position as he himself all too well knows.
       The Washington Post as noted above has detailed the at least 30 Trump campaign members including then Senator Sessions who each individually having lied saying they had no contact with Russians now all have been forced to admit they in fact did have contact with Russians only after it was publicly revealed that each indeed did have these contacts. Their memory of such contacts having been "refreshed" they now acknowledge the contacts as detailed in the Washington Post ever-growing accounting to date in the Trump-Russia inquiry.
       That listing itself however now has been overshadowed temporarily by the news that during the Trump campaign Donald Trump Jr. had secret correspondence with Wikileaks. That organization lauded and encouraged by Donald Trump in his campaign has since his confirmation as Trump's unfit CIA Director Mike "Hack" Pompeo now been described by the hack Pompeo as a "non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia" thus presumably another potential target in the United States seemingly ever-growing collection of wars without boundaries against threats and organizations rather than active combat against (in most cases) identified hostile countries. As for hostile Wikileaks it now has a new Donald Trump Jr. son of the President conspirator complication
       Interested readers can go to a link below to the Atlantic article which broke the news of the series of secret Donald Trump Jr. - Wikileaks contacts as well as to links below that to Washington Post, New York Times and Guardian articles with follow up reporting on the Trump Jr. - Wikileaks secret correspondence revelations. Readers interested in the more recent recounting of facts uncovered by Guardian investigative reporter Luke Harding leading to his conclusion that the Trump-Russia "full picture is one of collusion" in his new book of the same name "Collusion" can go to the link below and the next link following it as well to his NPR Terry Gross "Fresh Air" interview available here both in text and audio.
       UPDATE Friday, 1 December 2017 - General Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to one count in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in a plea deal with Special Prosecutor Mueller of lying to the F.B.I. about two conversations of a significant nature with Russian ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak before the Trump administration had taken power signalling that after terminating defense coordination with President Trrrump's  defense attorneys last week and then reportedly meeting with Mueller's investigative team this past Monday 27 November 2017 that Flynn now pleading guilty in a plea deal is cooperating with Special Counsel Mueller in the Trump-Russia investigation. Interested readers can go to the two links directly below for more information.
       UPDATE Thursday, 21 December 2017 - FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe today faced another full day of GOP initiated grilling behind closed doors of the Senate Intelligence Committee one day after being subjected to a similar eight hour grilling behind closed doors of a House committee as the GOP "Trump-Or-Die" Gang continued to try to discredit the FBI and the Mueller Trump-Russia inquiry as a wall of evidence of guilt closes in on President Trump.
       McCabe however gave testimony that corroborated Comey contemporaneous accounts to him of Trump (denied) demands for Comey's "loyalty" also consistent with contemporaneous notes that Comey prepared and as to which Comey subsequently testified before Congress. GOP members nevertheless tried to characterize McCabe's testimony incriminating Trump rather as evidence of FBI McCabe's misconduct consistent with Senate Judiciary Chair Grassley's ongoing attempts to have McCabe removed from the investigation consistent with Grassley's many unsuccessful diverse efforts to abuse his power to obstruct justice rather than fulfill his duty to further justice and honor his oath to the Constitution.
       UPDATE Saturday, 22 December 2017 - F.B.I. Director Christopher Wray caught between direct Trump FBI attacks including on senior F.B.I. officials that served under the greatly respected by agents former Director James Comey and a right wing chorus ostensibly led at least in a feedback loop with old friend Trump by FOX (Trump TV)  Judge Jeanine "119 mph" Pirro calling in the extreme for Special Counsel Mueller to be fired and asserting that "individuals" in the F.B.I. and Justice Department "need to be taken out in cuffs" particularly those seen as being closest to Comey's "circle" or more specifically likely to being closest to closing in on Trump and family or corroborating Trump's obstruction of justice but claimed to be on the basis of a tired succession of baseless attacks and on Director Wray's other side by F.B.I. agents who depend on Director Wray to defend them in especially in public attacks including those naming agents who have nothing to do with the matters of public interest and keep up morale and effective focus needing to see that Director Wray will "watch their backs" which entails his most carefully walking the line avoiding confrontation with Trump while not seen by agents as engaging in the wholesale discarding of longtime respected members of the F.B.I. management team  while nevertheless making certain accommodations such as the earlier this week announced stepping down of F.B.I. General Counsel James A. Baker for reassignment with ongoing consideration of replacing the embattled Deputy Director Andrew G. McCabe whom agents although they greatly respect and support him accept that as a lightening rod of Republican accusations of bias as currently evidenced in congressional GOP initiated closed door committee hearings including because of his wife's 2015 unsuccessful political campaign as a Democrat with significant support coming from a PAC close to the perennial Trump favorite target Clintons that they need to accept that McCabe may need to be replaced as FBI deputy director by someone such as current F.B.I. no. 3 David L. Bowditch both well respected inside and not seen outside as within Mr. McCabe's "inner circle" best known for being the public face of the F.B.I. in California in the wake of the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack and believed not to be a controversial choice (at least at the moment as if he is picked to replace McCabe all bets are off).
       As has been widely repeated largely on seemingly deaf ears most all of the top officials in this most serious constitutional saga are in fact Republicans from former F.B.I. Director Comey to Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to Special Counsel Robert Mueller for what it's worth. Readers interested in more information on the above from the situation perspective and dynamics inside the F.B.I. to that on the other side of congressional G.O.P. hearings run amok perhaps best exemplified in the extreme by the relentlessly clownish antics of perennial dope recused (?) Senate Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA)  to the extreme instigation of FOX "Trump TV" the latest megaphone the "lock them (not yet him) up" wing in the case of Trump can go to the fourth and fifth links below.
       UPDATE Tuesday 23 January 2018 - F.B.I. Director Christopher Wray has threatened to quit under continuing grossly inappropriate pressure from GOP pathological liar President Trump echoed under orders by his flunky serial perjurer racist "disgrace" AG "Jefe" Sessions that Wray fire 49-year-old career F.B.I. employee (with some civil service protections) Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on the pretext that McCabe has been biased. In truth Trump is desperate to disparage and discredit McCabe and every one of the senior F.B.I. officials to whom former F.B.I. Director James Comey contemporaneously upon escaping from Trump's oval office relayed Trump's "loyalty" demand all of whose testimony will confirm that GOP Trump unsurprisingly has grossly lied as usual in denying this although in any case no one seriously would actually believe pathological liar Trump versus even James Comey alone. After F.B.I. Wray finally voiced strong resistance to serial perjurer racist "disgrace" AG "Jefe" Sessions' inappropriate pressure on Trump's behalf White House Counsel Don McGhan reportedly advised Sessions to back off Wray as Wray's resignation as the second F.B,I. director to precipitously leave the Trump administration could be expected to cause a "media firestorm".  Interested readers can go for more information to links three and four below.
       UPDATE Wednesday 24 January 2018 - President Trump in an Oval Office meeting with F.B.I. Acting Director Andrew McCabe asked him how he voted to assess his loyalty as first reported in the Washington Post later followed by the New York Times at the first and second links below.
