With Comey now admitting that much of what he said about the FISA process and investigation is false - because he has no choice given the extremely incriminating IG Report - the media outlets that repeated his narrative for years (you know who you are) owe their own apologies

Chris Wallace did a superb job interviewing
@Comey
in a way that not only showed how systematic & grave was the FBI's abuse of its power but - as importantly - how long and deliberately Comey and his media supporters lied about all of this to the public

The Inspector General’s Report on 2016 FBI Spying Reveals a Scandal of Historic Magnitude: Not Only for the FBI but Also the U.S. Media


"Just as was true when the Mueller investigation closed without a single American being charged with criminally conspiring with Russia over the 2016 election, Wednesday’s issuance of the long-waited report from the Department of Justice’s Inspector General reveals that years of major claims and narratives from the U.S. media were utter frauds.

Before evaluating the media component of this scandal, the FBI’s gross abuse of its power – its serial deceit – is so grave and manifest that it requires little effort to demonstrate it. In sum, the IG Report documents multiple instances in which the FBI – in order to convince a FISA court to allow it spy on former Trump campaign operative Carter Page during the 2016 election – manipulated documents, concealed crucial exonerating evidence, and touted what it knew were unreliable if not outright false claims.

If you don’t consider FBI lying, concealment of evidence, and manipulation of documents in order to spy on a U.S. citizen in the middle of a presidential campaign to be a major scandal, what is? But none of this is aberrational: the FBI still has its headquarters in a building named after J. Edgar Hoover – who constantly blackmailed elected officials with dossiers and tried to blackmail Martin Luther King into killing himself – because that’s what these security state agencies are. They are out-of-control, virtually unlimited police state factions that lie, abuse their spying and law enforcement powers, and subvert democracy and civic and political freedoms as a matter of course.

In this case, no rational person should allow standard partisan bickering to distort or hide this severe FBI corruption. The IG Report leaves no doubt about it. It’s brimming with proof of FBI subterfuge and deceit, all in service of persuading a FISA court of something that was not true: that U.S. citizen and former Trump campaign official Carter Page was an agent of the Russian government and therefore needed to have his communications surveilled."

Is the Tax-cut paying for itself?

No, the deficit is ballooning.

Is GDP skyrocketing?

No, it's basically where it was in 2015.

Were jobseekers able to easily find good jobs in 2015? Obama was saying those jobs weren't coming back, get used to it. Was any attempt being made to stop illegal crossings in 2015? Not talking about what happened after they got here, talking about actually preventIng them from entering. How was military spending in 2015? Military morale? Was ISIS slaughtering tens of thousands in 2015? Where are they now? Obama sure didn't try to eliminate them. Was business thriving in 2015? Nope, were smothered under taxes and regulations, much of which Obama created. Tell me something, is Trump meddling in conflicts overseas? Seems to be spending his time working on our economy as well as getting our allies to pay their share of the common defense. I'm sure I'm missing something important here, but the guy works, and will get reelected. If Democrats elect Michelle Obama, or someone else because they're likeable and can get enough votes to beat Trump, then nothing really matters to you but having the power.
