New revelations about the FBI pulling out all the stops to try to destroy the Trump 45 Administration just keep on coming.

Now we learn that in 2017 they started Operation MARCH TOLL targeting former AG Jeff Sessions. Few men are as upstanding as Jeff Sessions but as part of the Russiagate Hoax, even he could be targeted by his own FBI subordinates.

This is likely why Sessions recused himself from Russiagate, paving the way for Rosenstein to appoint Robert Mueller Special Counsel, a man who would be exposed as senile when he went before Congress. Instead, his smear operation was really run by Andrew Weissmann, a deadly partisan schemer veteran of many lawless actions including destroying Arthur Andersen and thousands of jobs.

So the maneuver worked. Sessions would never have authorized a Special Counsel aimed at Trump for the stupid Russiagate Hoax, so they created MARCH TOLL to put Sessions in jeopardy himself, so they could argue to him that he was self interested and therefore needed to recuse (step aside from the investigation).

They have schemes within schemes.

Imagine the professional thrill of being named Attorney General and then being told almost immediately — about a month after being confirmed — that you should be investigated by your own Department. And then by May 10, 2017, you are under such an investigation.

Why call it MARCH TOLL? My working theory is that that is a reference to the month when Sessions decided to recuse. March 2017 is also when Senators Leahy and Franken argued Sessions was somehow compromised by Russia.

Why a “Toll”? Could be that the investigation was the penalty for recusing. Or it could have been the penalty Leahy and Franken helped unleash on their former ostensible brother in the Senate. Or both.

Whatever the reason for the name, Sessions didn’t do anything wrong, MARCH TOLL was eventually closed, its purpose satisfied: getting an unobstructed ball rolling in the Russiagate area against Trump.

Sidelining an AG was the means to that end.

According to his own admissions (NBC and CBS), Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe immediately began a criminal ‘obstruction’ investigation.

Wednesday May 10th McCabe immediately enlisted Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

A few hours after the Rosenstein-Mueller phone call James Comey’s office was being searched by the SSA Whistleblower per the IG report on Comey’s memos.

(…) Just the News reported last week that the FBI also opened another investigation – codenamed “Oxferd Comma” – the following week into President Trump, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired Comey.

The FBI’s probe into Sessions for possible false statements has been public since 2018, when Session’s lawyer told the media that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team had interviewed the Attorney General and decided not to move forward. Mueller, who was appointed to investigate allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia shortly after Comey’s firing, concluded in his final report that his office could not prove Sessions was “willfully untruthful.”

Sessions told lawmakers that he “did not have communication with the Russians”

Mueller’s Trump-Russia collusion probe has since been discredited. An investigation by Special Counsel John Durham – released by the Biden Justice Department in 2023 – concluded there was no basis for the FBI to even open the original Crossfire Hurricane investigation into allegations of Russia collusion, for example.

In January 2017, Sessions told lawmakers that he “did not have communication with the Russians” when asked whether anyone affiliated with Trump’s campaign communicated with that country’s government. Later reporting showed that Sessions met with the Russian ambassador to the United States on at least two occasions during the Trump campaign and while he represented Alabama in the Senate.

Sessions sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 6 to supplement his prior testimony, confirming that he did, in fact, meet with the Russian ambassador twice during the campaign season, but that his answer, “I didn’t have–did not have communications with the Russians (…} ” was truthful because Franken asked about a “continuing exchange of information during the campaign” between agents of the campaign and the Russian government.

“I did not mention communications I had had with the Russian Ambassador over the years because the question did not ask about them,” Sessions wrote in the letter.

The supplementary testimony was not enough to satisfy Leahy and Franken, who then wrote to Comey raising concerns about Sessions’ statements to their committee and accusing him of possibly committing perjury.
