Confirmed: the FISA warrants were obtained fraudulently

Many have long suspected that the FISA warrants on Carter Page and the Trump campaign were phony, but now the proof has begun to emerge. Via @Paul Sperry:

• The FBI's application to spy on Carter Page and Trump campaign repeats to FISA judge the myth that the GOP platform on Russia was watered down

It was not.

• The declassified FBI warrant application attests to secret FISA court that "THE FBI LEARNED that Page met with at least two Russian officials during the trip,"as if FBI learned this independently,when in fact it's clear it relied on Clinton-paid dossier for the information
• Target of FBI's FISA warrant broader than Page; also names Papadopoulos & Trump campaign: "FBI believes Russian Government's efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election were being coordinated w Page & perhaps other individuals associated w [Trump's] campaign"

Both, IMO, were set up.

Here's the license to target anyone they wanted:

• The FISA docs for obtaining surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page state that the FBI has the authority to "INCIDENTALLY acquire other information" against additional targets while monitoring Page

The FBI recycled the same information over and over to renew the FISA warrant.

• JW's Tom Fitton: "These docs are heavily redacted but seem to confirm FBI & DOJ misled the courts in w/holding material information that Clinton campaign & DNC were behind the 'intelligence' used to persuade the courts to approve the FISA warrants that targeted the Trump team"
• In all the FISA apps filed to spy on Trump advisor Page there is no evidentiary source listed other than "Source #1" -- and "Source #1" is Christopher Steele. (There is no Source #2 or Source #3, etc. Just a single source -- Source #1.)

You've read me say this as well:

• Time & again, the FISA apps accuse Carter Page of being "an agent" of Russian intelligence engaged in criminal activities, yet Page has never been arrested or charged as a spy. And the FISA surveillance ended last year. Cleary, FBI got it WRONG. Otherwise, he'd be behind bars

Carter Page has been under FBI surveillance since 2013. You'd think they could figure it out by now, yet- nothing.

• FBI stated in FISA application to spy on Trump advisor Carter Page it didn't care what Steele's motive or "reason for conducting the research into [Trump's] ties to Russia" b/c he "provided reliable information to FBI [in the past]." Therefore, his dossier is "credible"

Steele never went to Russia. He did not get any of his information first hand, but the FBI swallowed it anyway.

• Christopher Steele hired "subsources" who collected dirt on Trump for his Clinton-funded dossier. The former British intelligence officer did not actually collect the information himself.

About that, former CIA #2 Mike Morrell said:

“The intermediaries paid the sources and the intermediaries got the money from Chris [Steele]. And that kind of worries me a little bit because if you’re paying somebody, particularly former FSB officers, they are going to tell you truth and innuendo and rumor...”

Morrell also said:

The FISA Court was never told (and apparently never asked) that all of the alleged information came from the hillary campaign and the DNC

• Newly declassified FISA application on Carter Page reveals FBI never told the court that its main source -- Steele -- was paid through the Clinton campaign. It merely says he was hired by a "business associate" and a "law firm," which it never ID's as Clinton/DNC lawyer

The FISA warrants were issued on the basis of media articles (with information all paid for by hillary and the DNC)

• Over and over, the newly released FISA app on Carter Page reveals the FBI cited liberal media articles, along with the Clinton-paid political dossier, as EVIDENCE to support the warrant to spy on Page, and by extension, the Trump campaign.

Someone needs to explain why the FBI would not do its own research to verify. (Actually, that's unnecessary- we already know that Comey, McCabe and Strzok were not interested in anything other than taking down Trump.)

And now Strzok is looking at perjury charges:

It is a bit like pulling the string to see all the players get drawn out so we know who they are. They need to prosecute some of these people soon though, as many Americans are completely losing patience with this.

[eyeamok]

Let’s not forget that the LEADERSHIP OF BOTH PARTIES, specifically the”Gang of Eight” which includes Ryan and McConnell, have KNOWN about this and have actively participated in the COVER UP!!!

The ONLY Reason Ryan or McConnell have for not coming forth with this information is because they were in on it or they are protecting their buddies, either way they are GUILTY AS SIN and my last nickel says that EVERY last Congress Critter out there defending this ATTEMPTED OVERTHROW OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is a willing participant.

12 feet of ROPE!!!!!

OK now what? enough evidence or are we waiting for more? come on already!

I did not know that the FISA Court formally blew off charges of Fraud perpetrated on them.

Interesting.

[SE Mom]

That’s a truly sobering list of facts.

My hunch is the president is waiting until he sees the lay of the land after the midterms. If we can hold the House and Senate I expect we’ll have a new Deputy AG, and maybe AG. Andrew McCarthy would be outstanding in the DoJ in any role.

To fire anyone now ensures defeat in November. The left is rabid and dangerous. If they regain any power, I think we’re finished.

Dersh is more on our side every day, the way I see it. He holds to the Constitution and refuses to be ‘confused’ by their obfuscation. The libs at Martha’s Vineyard hate him. He stands for the Truth and is fearless in speaking it. That’s enough for me. Anyway - he’ll vote for Trump next time, I bet. He’s the next #WalkAway guy.

[TigersEye]

Apparently they have higher priorities to consider.

[elbook]

time to start lining up the guilty of the act, who organized it and who paid for it and everyone else who conspired in it

what kind of prison sentence might be involved here ?
