The Russians Didn't File A FISA Warrant
Theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | 2/18/18 | Sundance

Posted on 02/19/2018 4:55:28 AM PST by cotton1706

Interesting interview. The Russians didn’t keep Hillary out of Wisconsin; the Russians didn’t make Hillary use personal email; the Russians didn’t hire Fusion-GPS; the Russians didn’t pay Christopher Steele; the Russians didn’t make a dossier or deliver work product to the State Dept; the Russians didn’t do the unmasking of campaign officials.

The Russians didn’t apply for a FISA warrant; the Russians didn’t lie to a FISA court; the Russians didn’t leak Mike Flynn monitored phone calls; the Russians didn’t use DOJ and/or FBI databases to download FISA 702(16)(17) queries and extract the data to private contractors; the Russians didn’t hire Nellie Ohr and Russians didn’t approach president-elect Trump and warn him of politically weaponized intelligence surveillance…

The… wait…. then again, THAT’S ENTIRELY THE MOTIVE to blame the Russians:

The notion that the Russians buying a few ads on Facebook swayed the election is laughable. It makes the media and Democrats look even more absurd.

Millions and millions of dollars spent to find a couple of ruskies in the woodpile while people posting threats online using their real name are free to walk right in the front door a school carrying weapons. Misguided is an understatement.

18 Feb: ConservativeTreehouse: sundance: Too Funny: Special Prosecutor Mueller Patched Together Much of His ‘Muh Russia’ Indictment from Old News Articles…
A large number of people who read the Mueller 13-person Russian Indictment released on Friday noted a transparent lack of actual substance. Today the absence of substance turns toward the hilarious.

Much like the heavily touted sketchy 2017 Joint Analysis Report (the infamous “14 U.S. intelligence agencies report“) was really only three political intel agencies, FBI (Comey), CIA (Brennan) and ODNI (Clapper), Friday’s Russian indictment had a lot of pages and citations but in the aggregate was an assembly of nothing-burger reporting of various insignificant social media events.

Today the absurdity of the report becomes even more laughable. As Gateway Pundit reports almost everything in the Mueller indictment was previously outlined in a Radio Free Europe report from 2015. If that wasn’t funny enough, even the Washington Post finds the majority of the indictment was published last October in a Russian Business Magazine (RBC) article.

So what exactly is going on here? Is this entire narrative really just creating the illusion of something, anything, simply because something began… continued… and was really nothing.

Well, essentially, YES...

Everyone should have noticed the actual missing substance from the 2016 Joint Analysis Report as it was enhanced an presented in 2017. It was a goofy assembly of odd data labeling Russian hackers and such as planetary arch-villains.
Hillary Clinton herself started pushing it on August 26th, 2016, with Pickle’s Vast Russian Planetary Conspiracy Theorem. REMINDER:... VIDEO

“..The notion that the Russians buying a few ads on Facebook swayed the election is laughable....”

It is absurd that the media and all its leftist supporters keep saying “Russians meddled in our election...” and yet those same political grifters cannot state a single material event that would have changed the outcome of the election that the Russians actually did. Red herring politics at its best. We hear it day after day.

If you believe in free speech, the Russians should be allowed to do pretty much whatever they want.....except the left really doesn’t believe in free speech.

I am not afraid of speech I don’t agree with.

Mueller has opened up a huge can of worms .....And all those worms are pointing to the Obama Amin’s failures to contain Russian meddling.

OTOH, the contrary Obama admin may have had a hand in the process.

POINTS TO PONDER

<><> how did the 13 Ruskis get into the US?

<><> under whose auspices?

<><> under Obama’s sap-happy refugee-loving immigration policies?

<><> does ICE have any records?

<><> were any of the tax-funded refugee resettlement programs involved?

CONTACT CONGRESS: Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044

<><>Who sponsored the Ruskis? Somebody at the DNC? In Congress? Hillary’s campaign?

We’re basically asked to believe 13 private Russia citizens and 3 Russian companies succeeded in duping Americans to vote for Trump via FB/Twitter social media postings.

Collusion in the mind of Trump haters apparently is foreigners influencing American opinions about a candidate. And they demand to know how we can protect ourselves from their meddling. Apparently, they want FB/Twitter shut down.

Laughably absurd. But they’re pushing tighter restrictions on freedom of speech just like they’re demanding tighter restrictions on our RKBA. Liberals are nothing if not consistent.

The ads on Facebook mean nothing....unless you click and go to the full story. No one has ever said the click-numbers here and I seriously doubt that they got more than fifty percent of the folks they sent the fake news onto...to click.

I’ve always admired Russians as intelligent people.

Americans are blaming them for their own stupidity.

That’s not an indictment of Russia; that’s an indictment of America.

Which is now the biggest whining snowflake country in the world.

Did the Russians help Hillary steal the nomination from Bernie?

Without those super delegates, Hillary would never have been over the top.

Did anyone actually think that millions of potential Hillary voters would change their mind seeing a Facebook post saying: “The Pope urges Catholics to vote Trump” and think: Yeah I will now vote Trump? Just go to such a page, it’s one big pile of ads and stuff, it’s simply clickbait! Maybe there are a few really targeted ads around that were serious but it’s not like people change their voting behavior just because of some Facebook ads.

For all the BS about these 13 Russians, the money funding them can probably be tracked back to some damn NGO funded if not by Soros then by a pissed off Russian Oligarch in London or NYC.

You know, one of the guys with a miniature giraffe.

The Facebook VP has also stated that the Russian ad buys took place *after* the election.

To us yes, but Mueller has successfully revived the narrative and it’s back full steam. Even got help from McMastern no surprise there actulally.

The Russians had nothing to do with our elected and appointed allowing an usurper who is not a natural born citizen to weaponize our government against US.

Correct, how can we encourage them to Release ALL of Hillary’s Emails then?? It is the least they could do after all the accusations.

I think Mueller had to come up with something so his investigation didn’t look like the farce that it was.
