2018 GOP House Intel memo revealing FBI KNEW Steele dossier was fake turned out to be spot-on
The National Sentinel ^ | 1/19/19 | Jon Dougherty

Panned by Democrats at the time as well as their enablers in the establishment media, a memo then-majority Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released in February 2018 — the so-called “FISA memo” — implicating FBI malfeasance in the Spygate scandal turned out to be highly accurate, according to information contained in blockbuster reports this week.

On Friday we reported, citing The Hill‘s John Solomon, that former No. 4 Justice Department official Bruce Ohr told ranking FBI officials that the so-called “Russia dossier” used by the bureau to justify obtaining FISA court warrants to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign was a political document, not a piece of intelligence.

Ohr told the FBI and Obama DoJ officials that the dossier’s author, former British spy Christopher Steele, had been hired by Fusion GPS — whom his wife worked for — to produce it on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign, making its contents highly suspect.

He also told officials that Steele was a vehement opponent of Donald Trump and completely in the tank for Clinton, which also made his work suspect.

But nobody listened. In fact, as Solomon noted, Ohr should have been listened to since he had had a great deal of contact with Steele, even after the FBI dismissed him for having improper contacts with the media.

If the basis for all this stuff purported to have been found is false, wouldn’t anything found as a result of the FISA warrant be inadmissible ?
Even continuing the investigation is wrong?

This means that Schiff lied when he said the memo was false, lied when he issued his false Democrat response, and lied when he tried to get Nunes removed from the committee for exposing the truth.

For all this, Schiff was rewarded with the committee chairmanship.

I THINK it was Dershowitz on Hannity last night who said it would be fruit of the poisoned tree. Could be wrong since I’m a white uneducated gullible deplorable.

Who (in the DOJ, FBI or NSA) has been indicted by a grand jury?

Never mind.

Think about it: Have you seen any criminal charges filed that were based on anything obtained in that FISA surveillance? I can’t think of any.

Schiff will get his day. One who makes so many enemies will fall by the sword when they least expect it.

When the Democrats and the Media (but, I repeat myself) lie, their statements become FACTS. Once declared to be FACTS, they can never be changed to UNTRUE no matter how much evidence is discovered. Adam Schiff is the master of using this rule to his advantage.

Now we'll see if Republicans get the same freedom in a Pelosi House as Democrats got in a Ryan House.

Somehow, I don't think Nunes will get the same chance that Schiff got to rebut the majority.
