Does ANYONE believe that these crooked ba$tard$ wouldn’t spy if they didn’t have a warrant??
Now start arresting FBI agents and anyone else who touched this document. It's time for speedy trials and off to the slammer.
I am not making excuses, but this is how they are going to explain it away: in the transcript the guy says he and the brit “spy” were unnerved with what they found about the relationship between Trump and Ruskie mobsters/intel types. They decided they had to pass on the info to the FBI.
If you read the transcript this is what he says and as soon as I read it I knew they had massaged exactly what they were going to say knowing they would be in the middle had they not waived the flag. It is BS but one has to prove they were lying.
IMO, they ran some of this info the fbi in June 16 and tried to get a warrant from it. The judge said NO. They then gathered more info and ran it through “official” channels in Rome together with duping the dope McCain to do the same thing. They the tap was approved albeit they had been running one before that time which was in August 16. The FBI of course believed what they wanted to believe and they filled in any voids with a “source in the Trump campaign” which he alleges they had.
What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.
Is the Pope Catholic???
The illegal wiretaps on Trump likely started even before the Obama Admin. even got their falsified dossier that convinced some Obama FISA judge.
Of course it was. It was an attempt to take down Trump.
And the basis for the corrupt Mulehead Special Council.
Many people should be going to jail over this.
Duh
Fruit and poison tree....
I hate anonymous sources, no matter what the topic and whose side of the political divide they may be on. The anonymous source game is way, way, WAY over used by all parts of the media these days.
What else did they use?
Unless Ms. Carter saw the actual warrant, the jury is still out.
In a sane world, or in a Senate that had Republicans who had any balls, when the knowledge that Hillary paid for the dossier became known, the investigation would have been shut down immediately and the management of the FBI, the Justice Department, and the Intelligence community would be on trial.
If this nation survives, historians in the future will be scratching their heads over just how stupid and craven and treacherous the Republicans were.
Was there even a FISA warrant at all?
Did Steele even write the dossier? Since its a fraud, its reasonable to imagine that there were no Russians involved, and it was written by Steele, or else written by someone in Fusion. Steele may have been paid simply to sign it and lend his dubious credibility to it.
If Steele was paid thousands for the document, and Fusion was paid millions for it, in whose pockets did the millions wind up? That by itself smells like money laundering.
If FBI and Justice were complicit in getting the dossier written, as seems to me, then everyone on Mueller’s team are in legal jeopardy for an illegal surveillance of their political opposition. Hence, they have to Scooter-Libby someone or possibly face career-ending legal consequences. Or jail. Do you suppose Flynn would have pled guilty had he known what we know now about Mueller, his team, Fusion, and the other related scandals, or would he have opted to ride it out like Manafort?
“systemic “FISA abuse.””
We all have suspected this for a long time. Now it looks like we have the proof. Next week should be interesting.
This is probably not the only time that the Obama administration used the NSA data to their benefit. They may have used the NSA stuff to blackmail Chief Justice John Roberts to issue the decision he did with regards to Obamacare. Robert’s decision that it was a tax and not a mandate saved the bacon for Obamacare. A mandate would have been unconstitutional while a tax was ok. NSA data probably got General David Petraus caught in an affair with the reporter that was doing a biography about him. This enabled Obama to get rid of the general whom he disliked.
Was there ever a FISA warrant in the first place? It hasn’t been produced. No one seems to have seen it. No one knows anybody who has seen it.
Was there a warrant?
fits the bear in woods analogy
Why would a ‘Dossier’ cost Six Million Dollars?
