USA – As intimated in the account of the contents of the House Intelligence Committee Memo that Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) have alluded to on Fox News, it is not enough that Senior DOJ and FBI Officials, whose names appear in the House Intelligence Memo, simply lose their jobs (which would allow them to collect retirement benefits).
The fact that DOJ and FBI senior officials like Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, and undoubtedly many others, continue to hold onto jobs in the DOJ and FBI, is reason for consternation.
Clearly, other senior Officials of the Deep State are protecting them. How high up the Government ladder does this insidious subterfuge extend?
The President’s call to drain the swamp now takes on immediate and critical urgency.
The “swamp” of the Federal Government is, it is now evident, more than mere metaphor—much more. The expression takes on literal meaning. Why are these senior DOJ and FBI officials still holding positions in the Federal Government? Why are they still receiving paychecks, courtesy of the American taxpayer? Why do they still hold top secret security clearances? These people and others should be fired immediately, and they should be investigated for serious crimes against this Nation and the American people. Why hasn’t Attorney General Jeff Sessions acted against these individuals? After all, Jeff Sessions holds the highest position in the Department of Justice? Why hasn’t Sessions cleaned house? Is he unable to do so, notwithstanding that he holds the top position in the DOJ? If that is the case, then, do high-ranking officials in the DOJ, and in the FBI, and in other Cabinet-level Departments, and in the Military, and in the Intelligence Community, and in Congress too, hold sway over the entirety of the Federal Government. If these high-ranking senior Officials, these Conspirators who have betrayed their oath of Office, who have betrayed the U.S. Constitution, who have betrayed this Nation, and who have betrayed the American people, do hold sway over the Federal Government, then, we must conclude that this Shadow Government—this Deep State within the Federal Government—these Conspirators hold sway over the American people as well. Has a coup d’état of the Government already taken place notwithstanding their failure to seat the shrew and puppet of the trans-nationalist, internationalist, globalist “elite,”—Hillary Clinton?
If Attorney General Jeff Sessions does muster the strength to exercise the authority vested in him and hold to account those officials of the DOJ and FBI, who have betrayed this Nation, who have betrayed our Constitution, and who have betrayed the American people, then we should see investigations commencing at once. If the Attorney General does not have the courage to assert his authority, then he should resign; and, if Sessions does not voluntarily step down, then President Trump should demand his resignation, or otherwise, simply fire him, and appoint a person who has the stomach to clean house!
In the interim, these Betrayers of our Nation, of our Nation’s Constitution, and of our Nation’s citizenry must be prevented from doing further harm to our Nation, to our Nation’s President, and to our Nation’s people. Accordingly:
- THEIR EMPLOYMENT WITH THE DOJ OR FBI SHOULD BE TERMINATED AT ONCE!
- THEIR SALARIES SHOULD BE SUSPENDED!
- THEIR SECURITY CLEARANCES SHOULD BE REVOKED!
- THEIR MISCONDUCT SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED!
Once evidence of the serious federal crimes–that these senior Officials of the DOJ and FBI committed and are even now still committing–has been systematically collected, collated, and analyzed by prosecutors—and it is certainly clear that a plethora of such evidence exists—then legal action must commence forthwith:
- THESE BETRAYERS OF THE NATION SHOULD BE INDICTED!
- THESE BETRAYERS OF THE NATION SHOULD THEN BE TRIED IN A COURT OF LAW FOR THEIR CRIMES!
- IF CONVICTED, THESE BETRAYERS OF THE NATION SHOULD RECEIVE NO LENIENCY IN THE METING OUT OF THEIR SENTENCES.
- AND, THESE BETRAYERS OF THE NATION SHOULD BE DENIED RECEIPT OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS!
If senior officials of the DOJ and FBI have committed serious Federal crimes against this nation, against this nation’s constitution, and against the American people, as is now manifest and clearly certain, what would the nature of those crimes be? We perceive and anticipate the following: Conspiracy; perjury; subornation of perjury; deprivation of rights under color of law; and obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees.
One serious crime falls under Title 19 of the United States Code: Crimes and Criminal Procedure, Part I, Crimes, Chapter 19, Conspiracy.
19 USCS § 371 (Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States) sets forth in principal part:
If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
A second serious federal crime falls under Chapter 79 of the United States Code. Chapter 79 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
18 USCS § 1621 (Perjury generally) sets forth in principal part:
Whoever—
(1) having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the United States authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or
(2) in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true;
is guilty of perjury and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
Since the Fusion GPS Dossier is a lie, those DOJ Officials who presented it to the FISA Court, swearing to the authenticity of the contents have committed perjury before the Court; and, since they did this to secure a warrant from the FISA Court that would allow Special Counsel Mueller to undertake an investigation of Trump Campaign Officials, predicated on presumptive collusion between Russian officials and Trump, those DOJ Officials who lied before the FISA Court to affect or influence the FISA Court to issue a warrant have committed a third serious federal crime, that these senior Officials of the DOJ and FBI have likely committed is subornation of perjury.
A third serious federal crimes falls under Chapter 79 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 18 USCS § 1622 (Subornation of perjury).
18 USCS § 1622 (Subornation of perjury) sets forth in principal part:
Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
A fourth serious federal crime falls under Chapter 13 of Title 18 of the United States Code. 18 USCS § 242 (Deprivation of rights under color of law).
18 USCS § 242 (Deprivation of rights under color of law) sets forth in principal part:
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. . . .
By betraying their oath to uphold the laws of this Nation, they have deprived the citizens of this Nation of their rights as they have attempted to subvert election laws by allowing an ignominious individual, Hillary Clinton, to campaign for the highest Office in the Land, when Clinton should, instead, have been indicted on several criminal charges. The Arbalest Quarrel has detailed these crimes at length, in several articles. See for example, “Pay to Play: The Clinton Foundation’s Open Secret and Silent Purpose.” These senior Officials of the DOJ and FBI have compounded their crimes by unlawfully utilizing tools, such as appointment of a Special Counsel—Robert Mueller—to undertake a lengthy, expensive investigation of the U.S. President, Donald Trump, when appointment of Special Counsel and investigation of Donald Trump is altogether unfounded, as the basis for such investigation is grounded on nothing but bald-faced lies, unsubstantiated hearsay, unfounded assumptions, and mere innuendo.
Having failed to seat a likely criminal, Hillary Clinton, in Office, these Conspirators—senior Officials of the DOJ and FBI—have now turned their attention to removing the U.S. President, Donald Trump, from Office. They are doing this out of spite and they are doing this because, in their mind, they won’t accept this President’s policy initiatives; and they won’t accept the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in a fair and lawful election. They arrogantly assert that they know what is best for the American people and thereby subvert the very Constitution and laws of this Country that they have taken an oath to serve.
And, a fifth serious federal crime falls under title 18 of the United States Code, 18 USCS § 1505 (Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees)
18 USCS § 1505 (Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees) sets forth in critical part:
Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—
Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years. . . .
News Commentator, Sean Hannity, reported on Fox News, Monday, January 22, 2018, that hundreds of anti-Trump text messages have inexplicably vanished from FBI databases. The website, Sean Hannity “Release the Memo,” further elucidates the point raised and expounded upon on Hannity’s evening program. If, as almost certainly appears to be the case, senior officials of the DOJ and/or FBI deliberately destroyed messages—amounting to pre-emptive document deletion or shredding—in anticipation of civil or criminal investigation of wrongdoing, this amounts to anticipatory obstruction of justice and they may be subject to criminal liability under the obstruction of proceedings Statute mentioned, supra.
The Arbalest Quarrel won’t rest until the house intelligence committee memo, complete, unabridged, and unredacted is declassified for immediate release to the American public.
In Part Five of our ongoing “Release the Memo” multi-series set of articles, we will look at whether the most serious charge of all, “treason,” can be leveled against these Senior DOJ and FBI Officials who have betrayed their Oath of Office. In Part Six, we will look at the actions of Congressional Democrats who–as with the mainstream news media, that has tacitly assisted the agents of the Deep State by censoring reporting of news pertaining to the House Intelligence Committee Memorandum–are impeding the release of the House Intelligence Committee Memo, and, through their actions are demonstrating, as well, their contempt for the American people. We are speaking here, namely and particularly, of Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) Ranking Democratic Party Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
We are doing our part. Please do your part. Tell Congress to release to the American public the House Intelligence Committee Memo that describes DOJ and FBI FISA Court abuses. The phone number to call is (202) 224-3121. That number will connect you to the U.S. Capitol switchboard. Follow the prompts to connect to U.S. Representatives and to U.S. Senators in your State.

Again too much misinformation….not enough facts. For good intelligence we need more than one source of reliable information. The memo out of the intelligence committee is not a source. So whatever is claimed must be verified. This is the basis of good intelligence work, good journalism, and good citizen involvement in government. If I used such unverified information as the basis for action, I would have been relived of command. Take nothing at face value, question, get better intelligence info before acting, tweeting or commenting.
@Phillip – You may want more facts, but you will never see them. The sources will be clocked in national security blankets forever. Good intelligence work and good journalism are out the window. Neither can be trusted at this point and I have NO idea how to fix that. Both put themselves in this boat so they will have to figure out a way to get back to a level playing field. The memo is a start not the finish!
@Macof I agree with what you say. Let’s get started on getting something done with the infringement that is still being practiced against our Constitution.
It’s time WE root out these Son of a Bitches and Execute All of them. Every God Damn One of them!!!!!!!!!
@R. Locher, Ok, I like the sentiment. What is the plan?
NOT ONE ratass will end up in prison.
They won’t even get a slap on the wrist.
They know their above the law because they make up the law.
I agree with taking their pensions – I’m enjoying mine – but let their wives collect it. The closer you get to collecting yours, the more paranoid you get. A friend lost his two months before he would have been vested.
I respectfully disagree. First, two of the FBI agents in question were committing adultery, so had no devotion to their spouse. Second, if found guilty, they have no right to a pension for themselves, or their family. That is and should be there to dissuade anyone from committing similar crimes. BTW, this is not uncommon. I did 30 yrs in the military. I have to pay $600/month out of pocked for pension insurance to get my wife 55% of my pension. I earned it, she didn’t in the eyes of the law. If I didn’t buy it and died the… Read more »
@Big e, This just in “FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe stepped down Monday, multiple sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. McCabe will remain on the FBI payroll until he is eligible to retire with full benefits in mid-March, the sources said.One source familiar said McCabe was exercising his retirement eligibility and characterized his decision as “stepping aside.”

I have never had a job where, if I had misbehaved, I would be allowed to do nothing until I was eligible to retire. Now, we won’t even get testimony out of him. What have we become?
@ W. Bill I heard a few minutes ago that McCabe’s boss, Ware, reviewed the memo today and McCabe’s removal came after Ware got back from reading the memo. The poopoo gets deeper as the days go on. Think what it is costing the taxpayers for these DOJ and FBI people to take their time, which should be spent on government work, playing patsy with each other and scheming against the duly elected president that was chosen by the taxpayers. Hang them from the highest tree!
@W. Bill I misspelled McCabe’s boss’ name. the head of the Fat Boys Institute is Wray.
There, fixed that!
McCabe may have had enough vacation time saved up to use his vacation until retirement. When you are on vacation you are still ‘working’ and on payroll and the time counts for retirement.
@ed Weber, Yes, federal employees can bank up to 240 hours plus what ever they accrued this year. So yes that is possible, but if he does that he will not get a big reimbursement check for unused leave, and if he is using his annual leave to get to retirement, then he does not need office or computer access. I bet he comes to work everyday, saves his annual leave that the federal government has to buy from him when he retired, and continues, unabated, his evil little resistance to President Trump. Maybe he will even stall retiring when… Read more »
@WB,,,you seem to know about gov. employee benefits. As an ex gov. employee, what is most likely to be used is his banked sick leave. There is no SL limit on what one can accrue. I’m pretty sure that after all of his years of service he has several months of SL available. SL is a use or lose situation. He can use the SL and bank the vacation time for a payout at the end.
@EW, Yes, a good technique. You were obviously a fed. What did you used to do?
Fired PATCO Air Traffic Controller. President Reagan fired the air traffic controllers in 1981. FWIW,,,I voted for him both times, even after I was fired.
@EW, Ouch. So you lost all benefits? Painful. Well, to be a air traffic controller one has to have a good mind, so I am sure that you did well afterward.
I lost all of my SL, and I had a boat load, was paid out for 240 hrs vacation. Was also paid the amt that I had in towards retirement. Can’t complain though, I knew the risk that we were taking and I blame no one. AND,,,as they say, all things are for a reason. I ended up becoming a flight instructor and eventually flying jobs. My last job before retirement was as an International Captain flying a Gulfstream 550. Life was/is good. Now,,,MAGA.
Stop with the talking and start taking them down, HARD!
Trump needs to fire Sessions and hire Cruz.
EXCELLENT IDEA !!!!
Then the Republican Gov here in Texas could appoint another staunch Conservative to replace him. No loss anywhere – and a BIG GAIN at the DOJ.
Sessions is such a disappointment! They should have left him in his Georgia senate seat and we would not have him as AG and would not have a dim in the Senate from Georgia. Cruz would be great as AG and great as president.
@John Dunlap Bored Sessions was an Alabama Senator rather than Georgia. Just thought I would clear that up.
The DoJ needs to really take a hard look at all the workings of the Deep State ! If need be, temporary emergency powers need to be granted to dig deep and root out the Fifth Columnist ! these issues border on nothing less than a conspiracy to commit treason ! This movement needs to be dismembered once and for all to preserve our republic.
@GP, The DOJ headquarters office in Washington, DC (often referred to as “Main Justice”) is 97% liberal, socialist, Obama-Clinton disciples. The are the deep state, and Rod Rosenstein leads them. Trump should be firing those betrayers right and left.
Most major cities have a Federal Executive Board. The FEB exists to coordinate fed. governmental services between agencies, especially in times of national emergency, and for disaster planning. The people who attend the meeting are the most senior military and civil servants in that state. I was fortunate to be a part of one for three years before I retired from the military. During one FEB meeting, I was shocked to hear a very senior IRS agent curse and rail against President Bush. She obviously felt free to express her opinions (during an election year, no less) even though she… Read more »
I’ve always heard there are two ways to change a tyrannic government, that is the ballot box, or the cartridge box. Seeing that in the 2016 elections there were more votes cast than registered voters, it seems we have a conundrum.
I’m not advocating anything, just pointing out our options.
Pew…. pew….. pew…. pew ….. pew …..click
If one were to use a gun, it would be murder. If one used a FWD pickup it would be a tragic accident… vehicular homicide at most. So, I propose a new game. I call it federal frogger! LOL
It would seem that the ballot box approach to redirect our nation, has failed!
