The Democratic legislators were very angry after meeting with the intel this AM. We all wonder what could have them so “ shaken”. Well, this has been public so, how deep does the corruption and deep ties go? What did they learn? Must have been a doozy considering this story that was reported in the Chicago Tribune…
Dated Nov. 7th…
FBI Director James Comey was honored Monday night by a group whose board includes several people with longtime ties to Donald Trump, including the CEO of the National Enquirer and a convicted felon who goes by the nickname "Joey No Socks."
Comey, already criticized over his handling of Hillary Clinton's email investigation in the final days of the presidential campaign, accepted the lifetime achievement award from the nonprofit Federal Drug Agents Foundation. The group lists more than three dozen board directors on its website; another was the developer of a troubled Trump-branded tower in Toronto.
It was not clear whether Comey — a former U.S. attorney in Manhattan — was aware of the board members' ties to Trump, or whether he decided those connections were not consequential given the group's stature with New York law enforcement. But the award and ceremony came as the FBI has been accused by partisans on both the left and right of injecting itself unnecessarily into the presidential race through Comey's statements and updates about the FBI's now-concluded review of Hillary Clinton's email practices.
Among the Trump-connected board members is David Pecker, a friend of Trump's and the chief executive of American Media Inc., publisher of The National Enquirer.
Another board member listed for the group is Alex Schnaider, a billionaire Ukrainian-born commodities trader who built a Trump-branded hotel and condo tower in Toronto which is now in receivership.
FBI director says no charges against Clinton after new email reviewA third board member is Joseph Cinque, also known as "Joey No Socks," a convicted felon whose American Academy of Hospitality Sciences has awarded more than a dozen Trump businesses with shiny plaques called "Star Diamond" awards. Cinque didn't immediately return a request for comment, but a secretary at his business said he was planning on attending the Monday evening ceremony.
A Trump campaign spokesman declined comment.
Oh and we also have this: Also Public and nothing new...so why so angry?
One person who definitely does have ties to Comey is former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani was Comey's boss when Giuliani was the U.S. Attorney of New York's southern district. At that time Giuliani hired Comey in 1987 as an assistant, according to New York Magazine. Currently, Giuliani is a top advisor for the Trump campaign, which gives Trump a connection — albeit a pretty cloudy one — to Comey.
While Comey and Trump's connection is about as vague as Comey's wording in his statement from today, one thing is for sure — the Trump campaign is already capitalizing on the FBI's decision to review the Clinton case, sending out this text message to support
Who knows…. but I agree with John Lewis who today said, “ Trump is an illegitimate president.”
This whole thing reminds me of the time the local law enforcement agency I was working for got busted for drugs and the FBI told me I could trust them.. ( I knew nothing...really..too new..too poor)
and I responded, “I thought I could trust them”. Why don’t you guys wear black hats and white hats so I can tell the difference on who is the good guy or bad guy? It is a 1000 and one wonders they didn’t haul me in on attitude alone. That is precisely what all of this reminds me of. To this day I still don’t know who the bad guys were.
