I know we’ve been waiting a long time for the Department of Justice’s inspector general on the alleged FISA abuses that occurred under the Obama administration. It was supposed to be released this summer. Now, it’s due out in early September. The contents might not send anyone from the Obama DOJ to jail, but it will reaffirm what we have been saying for quite some time: that the FBI was allegedly spying on Trump officials, that the meddling of the most concern was really coming from the J. Edgar Hoover Building, and that the Trump dossier was known to be biased, mostly unverified, but also cited as credible evidence in the securing of a spy warrant against Carter Page, Trump’s former foreign policy adviser. The sitting president used the DOJ to place the presidential campaign of the opposing party under surveillance. That’s pretty deep state-ish right there.
Based on the report on Russian collusion by ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the Trump dossier pretty much debunked. There is no evidence that the Kremlin and the Trump team colluded during the 2016 election. There was no blackmail campaign. Was this an intentional Russian misinformation campaign aimed at driving some—cough*Democrats cough*–insane? Maybe. Attorney General William Barr is looking into the origins of this circus. The FBI did not verify the dossier either. That’s evident in the glaring inaccuracies in the Trump dossier, which was compiled by former MI6 spook Christopher Steele. And by glaring, I mean—could’ve been easily verified by a simple Google search. The State Department knew the dossier was biased political propaganda as well; Steele told them. He also told the FBI. Steele’s political opposition research project was funded by the Clinton campaign, who had contracted Fusion GPS to lead the effort. Fusion subsequently hired Steele to compile this document. Oh, and members of British intelligence were also highly skeptical of this document.
And yet, cited reportedly three times as credible evidence in renewing a FISA warrant against Page, who had worked with the State Department, CIA, and FBI for years. It’s not out there to suggest that a lot of dirty laundry is about to be revealed. And FBI Director Chris Wray might want to keep that hidden, according to former White House Chief of Staff and New Hampshire Governor John Sununu (via Washington Examiner):
"I think they should see it all because frankly there’s nothing there of substance that applies to any real intelligence process. It was all a fabricated set of intelligence relationships that were being used to entrap, if you will, the Trump administration," Sununu said on Fox News.
Sununu said he believes the American public will see "a great deal" of the report, which is expected to be released as early as September, though he warned Wray might try to hide some of its findings.
"The only person over there that I think is going to try and prevent that is Christopher Wray who I think has really been co-opted by the FBI bureaucracy," Sununu said.
Republicans have criticized Wray, who was nominated to lead the FBI by President Trump, because of the FBI's resistance to certain document requests and also because he disputed Attorney General William Barr's use of the word "spying" to describe the government surveillance of Trump's 2016 campaign. Barr has praised Wray amid the criticism.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that he expects the report to be “ugly and damning.” We’ll see. The FBI’s alleged bad behavior also goes beyond Page and Trump. They were warned that a key document that was used to investigate Paul Manafort was fake. They ignored it.
The aggregators are still there so you can point the drop that says that, right?
Honestly nobody calls that mess "drops" except Chanfags and Qtards.
It's a "post". Just like in America.
Yeah, but don’t forget this whole criminal investigation was cast as an Intelligence investigation involving a foreign power allegedly attempting to influence the election. It’s a Gordian-knot waiting for the President to exercise his powers to de-classify the entire affair. Then the I-G has clear sailing.
The Democrats are the have the power of permanent government (DEEP STATE) behind their political actions. This is why they are always 2 - 3 moves ahead. Trump is being shrewd because he knows an abrupt declassification might boomerang on him in unpredictable ways. Plus, I really think he welcomes the unresolved conflict as his biggest ally in the re-election fight. So I don’t expect any of this to be resolved to our satisfaction until after election night 2020.
“No one ever asked GWB what he knew..”
*snort*
Oh yes! C’mon, post a link to the unmentionable! I double-dog dare ya! ;)
Either way, you just pulled that out of your butt.
Don’t understand why Trump put him in there. I look for him to be gone on day 1 of Trumps re election
Same as it ever was.. JEHoover all over again.
If Wray is allowed to get away with it, he certainly will do it.
Let us us remember who DJT is, be aware of Fake News, propaganda used to destroy his & his administrations achievements....
“Either way, you just pulled that out of your butt.”
If they get pulled out of a butt, then shouldn’t they be called Q droppings rather than Q drops?
I'm truly shocked Sunuu, a Bush establishmentarian, said this...
We know McCain was involved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And if McCain was involved, so was Flimsey Grahamnesty.
Nah, gunner droppings.
A lot like RINOs and Never-Trumpers. They sit around and laugh, mock and ridicule the “stupid guy” who doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he sure ain’t part the “cool kids” club. Except, they are always wrong and make fools of themselves.
Barr is in charge of that.
Members of “The Club” protecting themselves. Gee, who would have thought.
Well, he is a anal opening, so the spew is distinguishable!
If he tries to bury it we should bury him
William Barr will also receive the full report if the FBI tries to bury ANY of it he can fire Wray, Wray needs to go anyway can’t understand WHY he is still there!!!
