>> He says even if some parts were “improper”, the overall FISA warrant was not illegal.

William Ayers is admittedly guilty as sin yet free as a bird because of investigatory abuse of powers, thanks to “Deep Throat” (who himself was prosecuted).

The dirty cops have a bad case and trying to brush aside their abuse of power in this silent coup does no American any favors.

If corrupt bureaucrats signed here, here, and here, and a corrupt, legally-appointed Judge approved a pack of rehashed lies, the application probably is “legal”, even if the content is at odds with regulations and honest facts. Just as they were warned against ages ago, the American people have traded liberty for “safety” and have neither. The FISA process needs to be severely reformed, and all involved fired (Rosenstein).

No one will be held to account in a court of law for the attempted coup. I’m not advocating violence, but absent lynching, there will be no justice in this matter. The hallmark of a Clinton operation is that their first step is determining how to evade the law.

OK, what are Brit’s associations? Who is he indebted to? What are his relatives’ and in-laws’ connections?

Sorry Brit. They relied on the fake dossier as prime evidence for the request. People holding official government positions signed an affidavit declaring that they had reviewed and verified the dossier information included in the FISA application. The use of the dossier itself was improper because the FBI didn't verify it, but claimed they did. Therefore, the FISA warrant request was illegal. Not to mention the fact that they never divulged to the Judges the fact that a foreign agent had created the dossier, paid for by Hillary's campaign.

He has never been the same since his son killed himself. I don’t really care what commentators say. They are important only in their own minds.

I guess Britt diesnt understand that the FBI signing those warrants were certifying that the Steele dossier was confirmed information

When they never even knew the sources or verified them
Only the author, Steele

22 Jul: VIDEO: ZeroHedge: Clapper: Obama Was Behind The Whole Thing
by Tyler Durden
Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper admitted in a CNN interview Saturday that former President Obama instigated the ongoing investigations into Donald Trump and those in his orbit.

Speaking with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Clapper let slip:

“If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place.”

22 Jul: Redstate: FISA Applications Omitted Game-Changing Fact that Steele Dossier was Bankrolled by Clinton Campaign and the DNC
by Elizabeth Vaughn
The document states: “The FBI speculates to the FISA court that the U.S. person was likely looking for information that could be used to discredit candidate 1’s campaign.”

It omits the single, most significant fact about the dossier, which is who exactly was behind it. The FBI, the nation’s top law enforcement agency, left out the game-changing information that the Dossier was bank-rolled by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the DNC, which Hillary had bailed out financially and essentially controlled...ETC

22 Jul: Fox News: FBI told FISA court Steele wasn’t source of report used to justify surveilling Trump team, docs show
by Greg Re; Fox News’ Catherine Herridge and Pamela K. Browne contributed to this report.
On four occasions, the FBI told the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) court that it “did not believe” former British spy Christopher Steele was the direct source for a Yahoo News article implicating former Trump aide Carter Page in Russian collusion, newly released documents reveal.

Instead, the FBI suggested to the court, the September 2016 article by Michael Isikoff was independent corroboration of the salacious, unverified allegations against Trump in the infamous Steele Dossier. Federal authorities used both the Steele Dossier and Yahoo News article to convince the FISA court to authorize a surveillance warrant for Page.

But London court records show that contrary to the FBI’s assessments, Steele briefed Yahoo News and other reporters in the fall of 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS — the opposition research firm behind the dossier...

The documents describe Source #1 as someone “hired by a business associate to conduct research” into Trump’s Russia ties — but do not mention that Fusion GPS was funded by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign...
