How often and when did they get FISA renewals?

Read my article. Contreras recused himself ... but only after his links to Strzok were about to be revealed. Timing.

Right now I can only find reference to ‘several’ renewals released with the application the other day; but in the past I think I heard a number - four or six?

Well text messages show that Page was excited that Contreras was appointed as FISA judge - seems like she and Strzok considered Rudy part of their plan.

Re: “I would love to watch a one hour special interview of Andrew on a truthful media station. First 15 minutes should establish his credentials and then let him explain how the DOJ and FBI have been weaponized as a corrupt tool.”

Until today, you would have been very, very disappointed about McCarthy's personal opinions of the DOJ and FBI.

Previously, McCarthy, who is a former U.S. Attorney, never missed an opportunity to claim that just a few bad apples in senior management caused every problem, and that the street level agents and prosecutors were all men of high character.

In my opinion, when hundreds of “good men” allow this kind of criminal misbehavior to flourish for many, many years, because they fear losing their jobs, the moral distinction between them and their corrupt bosses is quite narrow.

That said, I do admire and respect McCarthy.

In fact, McCarthy is the only reason I still read National Review Online.

Maybe he can explain it to his buddy Ryan.
Someone needs to slap Ryan out of his perpetual stupid. You have

interesting how RR has been hiding the ball and when questioned by congress tried to evade the issue of him signing and basically denying “reading” what he signed for the FISA warrant..malfeasance or worse imo plausible deniability?

Thanks for the link.

Extremely humorous.

RosenWeasel claims to be a dintdu nuffin but he was in the loop enough to appoint Weasel Mueller a day after his confirmation. Sure, pal....

...I wonder why he was recused in the Flynn matter after taking a plea.

See silverleaf's post #4 for good info on the recusal and how crooked it was:

But they didn’t have Androids and iPhones to distract them. It was good old fashioned coffee houses and “Committees of Correspondence.”

I can’t wait for McCarthy’s column about who should be prosecuted and for what. That’s coming up next, right?

Clearly the Russians attempted to meddle in the U.S. political and election processes - just as they’ve attempted pretty continuously over the past century. Many other countries do so as well.

What is dubious is whether it was ever more than background noise during this election, and a bit of shock that it was just chaos instead of heavily weighted towards Democrats as their perpetual proxies.

Personally, I think if you even use the term “meddle” you’ve already bought into this Russian hoax conspiracy. I’m sure that “meddle” is not a legal category, and even as an issue of foreign affairs, it’s not something that’s ever been cited as a big issue before. We’re a massive country with a very long, deep and broad democratic process; I don’t accept that any other country can “meddle” in our elections, without somehow directly accessing our voting machinery, and no one has said that they did that. Did they try to “influence” our elections? Yes, probably, and so what? It’s not illegal, nor is it particularly improper. I trust Americans to wade through all of the different “influences” out there and make the right choice for the best interests of the country.

Think of David Souter. They’re probably RINO judges, so to speak.
