FBI Chief Counsel Dana Boente announces his retirement effective 6/30/20. The timing is certainly not a coincidence with major events happening next week in the Flynn case & with Spygate hearings in the Senate.

#ButNothingsHappening

Of course, it looks like MSNBC got fed some less than reliable information on this, the leaks are real but the news is fake!
To hear them tell it, AG Barr fired Boente against Wray's wishes because Foxnews ran a negative story on him!

I could say you can't make this up, but I am pretty sure someone did make it up!
MSNBC cited Lou Dobbs as the definitive source that Boente & Wray were blocking the release of information that would exonerate General Flynn, stop laughing Dobbs said it & MSNBC repeated it!

Dobbs like many of the #FearPornographers at Fox & other conservative media, seem to miss that there may be perfectly legitimate reasons for not releasing information, like it would screw up the prosecution of the coup plotters or is grand jury information...

Which leaves us with the usual, both sides likely getting the story wrong. Boente probably retired, he wasn't forced out, and he will likely soon be a witness against the coup plotters & could not stay on as FBI counsel at the same time. It's why announcing it now makes sense.

Now the Democrats read the same story & rally behind Boente & Wray, blaming Barr for forcing out honest men speaking truth. I am betting they won't like the truth they tell!

While the #FearPorn conservatives think he is being fired for being a coup plotter...

Is is possible? Of course. Time will tell!

But there are some things that you have to accept as a conservative in order to believe that Boente is being fired for his part in the coup...

So what do you have to accept to believe Boente is a coup plotter?
Well first you have to accept that this MSNBC story is true! Because that is the only source claiming he was forced out rather than simply retiring. So you are putting you faith in MSNBC getting an accurate leak!

Second, you have to accept that President Obama tried to stop the coup by blocking Boente from running the Russia investigation. Why, because Obama wrote an EO to change DOJ succession rules in January 2017 to prevent Boente from becoming Acting AG if Yates was fired by Trump.

That's right, in the midst of CYA emails, dossiers, & such, Obama blocked Boente's promotion at DOJ to make sure he didnt run the Russia investigation. So to accept that Boente was a coup plotter, then you are saying that Obama was trying to stop the coup.

When he fires Yates, Trump then makes 'coup plotter' Dana Boente the Acting AG, placing him as supervisor to David Laufman, Mary McCord, & later ICIG Mike Atkinson at the DOJ"s National Security Division.
Do you accept that Trump sent him to help the coup?

If not, then Trump was sending him into DOJ to watch the coup plotters, unless Trump is so dumb as to miss that Obama was fighting against Boente's coup attempt which tricked Trump into trusting him...
Yeah, sure that is the most likely explanation, if you write #fearporn...
