Meet Donald Trump’s Top FBI Fanboy

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/03/meet-donald-trump-s-top-fbi-fanboy.html

Two days before FBI director James Comey rocked the world last week, Rudy Giuliani was on Fox, where he volunteered, un-prodded by any question: “I think he’s [Donald Trump] got a surprise or two that you’re going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, I’m talking about some pretty big surprises.”
Pressed for specifics, he said: “We’ve got a couple of things up our sleeve that should turn this thing around.”

The man who now leads “lock-her-up” chants at Trump rallies spent decades of his life as a federal prosecutor and then mayor working closely with the FBI, and especially its New York office. One of Giuliani’s security firms employed a former head of the New York FBI office, and other alumni of it. It was agents of that office, probing Anthony Weiner’s alleged sexting of a minor, who pressed Comey to authorize the review of possible Hillary Clinton-related emails on a Weiner device that led to the explosive letter the director wrote Congress.

Hours after Comey’s letter about the renewed probe was leaked on Friday, Giuliani went on a radio show and attributed the director’s surprise action to “the pressure of a group of FBI agents who don’t look at it politically.”

“The other rumor that I get is that there’s a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI about the original conclusion [not to charge Clinton] being completely unjustified and almost a slap in the face to the FBI’s integrity,” said Giuliani. “I know that from former agents. I know that even from a few active agents.”

I believe it stated "Two days before FBI director James Comey rocked the world last week, Rudy Giuliani was on Fox, where he volunteered, un-prodded by any question: “I think he’s [Donald Trump] got a surprise or two that you’re going to hear about in the next few days.

that pronounced flight 800 an accident involving a fuel tank even with over 200 eyewitnesses saying they saw a missile heading towards it. He's a lying piece of scum.

Maybe he said too much. But, they can't keep tapping the FBI to try and hurt her. It looks bad now for Comey. I

I mentioned this on an earlier thread "FBI wants to make America great again". Talk about a scandal. On that morning he was on cnn and msnbc beforw FOX and didn't give that teaser. It's overlooked I think because people think he couldn't be that dumb to implicate himself on live TV and it's too obvious. Well he is and he did. He was Comey's old boss and has connections throughout the FBI. Come on-do you really think the election changing surprise was Melania stumping?? Give me a break. I think it was a slip, I think he just couldn't resist and I think this is highly unethical if not criminal. We are on to something but because it's so obvious it's being ignored. We should blanket media organizations,journalist, etc.. to give this some legs. As much as I can't stand Trump,giuliani is running a tight race maybe even a little ahead.

this should have the legs of a centipede, but MSM is committed to pushing the horse race scenario, aside from other reasons.
