HANNITY: The GOP is FIGHTING BACK Against the 'Deep State'

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.19.18

Speaking during his opening monologue on ‘Hannity’ Wednesday, Sean called-out the mainstream media’s non-stop obsession with Russian collusion; praising House Republicans for sending a “criminal referral” to the DOJ regarding senior Obama officials.

“The media has been lying to you, and misleading you the American people, but their time is up,” said Hannity.

“Members of Congress have sent a criminal referral to the Attorney General and FBI Director, and these members are now calling for criminal investigations into the potential illegal actions of James Comey, Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, McCabe, and other officials,” he added.

“We’ve been warning the self-serving holier-than-thou former FBI director that he has the right to remain silent, but James Comey just can’t seem to keep his mouth shut,” said Sean.

“He is now facing legal exposure,” added Hannity. “In this brand new letter they highlight how Comey spent 14 minutes back in July 2016 laying out the case for criminal prosecution about Hillary Clinton, but then said ‘nevermind.’”

DEEP STATE DEPARTMENT: John Kerry BRIEFED on ‘Trump Dossier’ in 2016

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.24.18

Former Secretary of State John Kerry was reportedly briefed on the infamous ‘Trump Dossier’ in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, raising new and alarming questions over the relationship between former British spy Christopher Steele and the Obama administration as Americans headed to the polls.

According to the Washington Post, John Kerry was the last senior Obama official to review the salacious material in “late 2016,” adding that “It’s not uncommon for private consulting or intelligence reports to be consumed by State Department officials.”

“There’s nothing nefarious about the State Department accepting material from Steele from 2014 to 2016,” writes the Post. “At that time, he was a well-respected former intelligence official from an allied country with deep experience in Russia. Officials couldn’t have known that Steele would become controversial for reporting on Trump, because that hadn’t happened yet.”

The left-leaning newspaper was commenting on a recent report from the Washington Examiner detailing the relationship between Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, and the Trump Dossier to former President Barack Obama’s State Department.

“They’re also seeking to learn what individual State Department officials did in relation to Steele, and whether there were any contacts between the State Department and the FBI or Justice Department concerning the anti-Trump material,” wrote the Examiner.

DEEP STATE TANGO: Dems Accused Brennan of Lying

posted by Jeffrey Lord - 3.25.18

In what might be called a Deep State tango, Obama CIA Director John Brennan has rushed to defend fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe in a classic illustration of how the Deep State works. The Washington Times headlined it this way:

John Brennan blasts Trump over McCabe firing, says the U.S. will send him to ‘dustbin of history’

The story quoted Brennan as follows:

“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America…America will triumph over you.”

The paper also noted Brennan had earlier accused President Trump of being “small, petty, and banal with your tweets.”

“What is telling here is the accusation that Brennan has a penchant for lying came from Democrats – not Republicans…”

Got all that? Now, let’s take a stroll down memory lane to this story in The Guardian – in 2014. Columnist Trevor Timm headlined this in the leftist UK paper:

CIA director John Brennan lied to you and to the Senate. Fire him

Calling Brennan “a talented liar” this column came on the heels of the realization that the CIA, under Brennan’s leadership, had been spying on….the United States Senate. And in the day, Democrats were fit to be tied.

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, a senior Democrat, tweeted this:

The Guardian also headlined this about another Senate Democrat:

Feinstein accuses CIA of ‘intimidating’ Senate staff over torture report

The paper reported on Feinstein’s unhappiness with Brennan this way:

“The chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee, Dianne Feinstein, on Tuesday accused the Central Intelligence Agency of a catalog of cover-ups, intimidation and smears aimed at investigators probing its role in a “un-American and brutal” programme of post-9/11 detention and interrogation.

In a bombshell statement on the floor of the US Senate, Feinstein, normally an administration loyalist, accused the CIA of potentially violating the US constitution and of criminal activity in its attempts to obstruct her committee’s investigations into the agency’s use of torture. She described the crisis as a ‘defining moment’ for political oversight of the US intelligence service.

Her unprecedented public assault on the CIA represented an intensification of the row between the committee and the agency over a still-secret report on the torture of terrorist suspects after 9/11.”

Feinstein was supported after her speech by Democrats Patrick Leahy (VT) and Mark Udall (CO). Udall issued a statement saying that he had “directly pushed CIA director Brennan” to tell the truth about “misrepresentations about the CIA’s brutal and ineffective detention and interrogation program.”

DEEP STATE TANGO: Dems Accused Brennan of Lying

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

What is telling here is the accusation that Brennan has a penchant for lying came from Democrats – not Republicans. Whether it was Feinstein’s floor speech or the comments of her fellow Senate Democrats or the assessment of The Guardian’s left-leaning columnist, the accusation could not have been clearer. In the words of columnist Trimm: “The nation’s top spy is, in fact, a proficient and skilled liar.”

And now? Now there is Brennan coming to Andrew McCabe’s defense. And what is McCabe accused of? Lying. As noted here at Fox by the former assistant secretary of state for President George W. Bush:

“Reportedly, McCabe lied to the inspector general, or in the euphemistic and delicately modern parlance, he “had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor – including under oath – on multiple occasions.”

There can be no better or clearer illustration of exactly how the players of the Deep State play the game. While Democrats of this moment are ignoring it, only four years ago they themselves were up and arms over Brennan’s conduct at the CIA and quite specifically accused him of lying. Now comes the McCabe episode, with McCabe being fired for, yes, lying to the FBI. And Brennan? He jumps in to stick up for McCabe.

Right there, in miniature, the Brennan-McCabe tango gives an idea of just how arrogant these people of the Deep State can be. The Deputy Director of the FBI is fired for lying to the FBI, and the guy who defends him is an ex-CIA Director labeled a “skilled liar” himself for

what Senator Feinstein, a Democrat, said was breaking the law and violating the Constitution. And what does John Brennan say in response?It is President Trump – not even in office in 2014 – who is guilty of “venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption.”

You can’t make it up.
