Was Comey Fired Because FBI Sights Were Turning Toward Trump’s Russian Mobster Business Ties?

[Lakhota]

Investigating campaign collusion is not exactly the FBI’s expertise, but organized crime is.

What is President Donald Trump trying to hide?

That’s the question on everyone’s mind since Trump fired FBI director James Comey on Tuesday. What’s been learned since that Watergate scandal-invoking bombshell dropped has only underlined the question.

Comey had been seeking more funds to go where the investigation was taking the FBI, media reported Wednesday. The Justice Department called this assertion “totally false,” affirming that whatever trail Comey’s FBI was following will likely go no further.

There are also several federal and state grand jury investigations underway, it was revealed Wednesday, first reported by two bloggers—Claude Taylor with ties to the Democratic Party and Louise Mensch with ties to right-wing sites. What these panels are specifically looking at is not known, although foreign surveillancesearch warrants reportedly have been issued. The presumption is they are tracing the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia to win the presidency.

As the details around all these developments swirl—including claims by Republicans there is nothing to all of this—a tantalizing observation is emerging from investigative reporters who have been following Trump’s organized crime ties for months. What if the FBI investigation was heading into Trump’s mobster-connected business empire, including his partnerships with Russian oligarchs, where the president has broken racketeering, money-laundering and organized crime laws? This is the FBI’s expertise, not the murkier and harder-to-prove charge of Russian campaign collusion.

Comey was fired because he was fixing to release the super duper true fact of who killed Kennedy and that was Trumps dad who hated Kennedy because he blamed him for the disappearance of that fat fuck fuck Hoffa.

Keep 'em coming!! These threads are great!!

We should have a repository for these LWNJ threads, so that as each lie is debunked the thread is then resurrected. Then the creator of the thread and its collaborators/cheerleaders can be shamed and ridiculed.

Wait! Oh shit........Of course, that will never work.....LWNJ's have no shame!

 

[Timmy]

TRump gave us the reason. It's just incoherent and nonsensical.

 

[whitehall]

It's way more likely, and the democrats were even panicked about it, that the FBI might reveal that the Clinton Foundation had ties to Russian mobsters.

tax returns?....comey was fired because of trumps tax returns?...........

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no, he fired Comey, so he could get an FBI director in there, that is going to chase Susan Rice and the rest of the Democrats, for the next 8 years. You people do not know what has happened yet, or rather what it means, hehehehehehhe. Just wait!

Don't you thoroughly read your links? For example...

Which leaves open the possibility that a Comey request could have been a different kind — a request to the administration to reshuffle existing funds already approved by Congress to augment the Russia probe.

That is correct, the RUSSIA probe, not the Russian/Trump probe. But the money is going to have to be either split, or increased, because we are now going to get, the SUSAN RICE probe, the MAXINE WATERS probe, and all Sharpton thrown in jail for tax evasion. GET the POPCORN folks, lolol!

Ah, the Russians, the Russians!!

[MisterBeale]

Actually, there IS a lot of truth behind this article. Unfortunately, the sad truth is, the Clinton's and the CIA are tied up with organized crime as well. This has a lot to do with why there is a civil war in the Deep State. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that this move was precipitated by moves deep with in the security state. This shit can't get out, no way, no how.

If folks can just let go of their partisan blinders, this shit would make a hell of a lot more sense. People need to stop thinking in terms of partisan politics and nation states and think in terms of oligarchic actors and interest groups. Otherwise, they end up looking like absolute idiots. . .



People forget, without the Clinton's, Yeltsin would never have been President, so I don't think it would have been a big deal if the Russian's had hurt Hillary or helped Trump. After all, what's good for the Goose as they say. . . .

The real crux here are the Oligarch's, both American, and Russian, and the organized crime, American, Italian, Jewish, Russain, and the Narco-traffickers.

Here's Alternet playing dumb when they should be connecting the dots between the oligarchs. They even admit that the Clinton's are smarter than that. (And we all know that they are.) If it smells like a rat, crawls like a rat, and looks like a rat, well, it's a rat. They were in up to their ears dealing with Russian oligarchs and Russian mafia.

This may be yet another example of Hill getting sideswiped by Bill—in this case by his manic foundation fundraising. But even if that’s true—and the closer you look, the more it appears that way—both Clintons are supposed to be smarter than that. They know there is an anti-Hillary industry out there. They know in politics that appearance of ethical conflicts, even if false, can be as damaging as the real thing. They know their foundation has been a big target for right-wingers for years. And they knew that Hillary would run again.
Clinton Foundation Fundraising Gives Hillary Haters A New Target, Even If Dots Don't Connect

This is the real break down as to what is going on. . .

Trump fired Comey because he wouldn't agree with what Trump said, so the guy replacing Comey says that Trump was right all along. Imagine that.
