For the impatient whiners, this is people who are named on the IG report who have reviewed it under confidentiality agreements, now leaking to their pals at CNN in order to try to get ahead of the pain that is coming their way.

Won’t matter.

#2, This is a typical CNN “PREEMPTIVE STRIKE” article, meant to downgrade the possibly major importance of the subject, re FBI tampering with documents relating to any FISA court/document applications.

Notice the extremely biased wording the writer uses, which were NOT necessary at all to tell the news story. Typical Marxist disinformation/deflection tactics.

They teach their comrades well at CNN.

Former AG Lynch ‘appeared to have amnesia’ During December Testimony About Carter Page FISA
saraacarter.com ^ | 3/4/2019 | Sara A. Carter / FR posted by bitt
saracarter.com reported Obama's hand-picked AG, Loretta Lynch, “appeared to have amnesia” during her testimony that she delivered in December before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, one congressional official, who had knowledge of the hearing said. In closed door testimony Lynch revealed that:
<><> despite her office having approved the FBI warrant and renewals to spy on Carter Page,
<><> Lynch said she did not recall the applications,
<><>did not remember the details contained in the applications or the circumstances surrounding conversations about the warrant.

===================================================

Lynch's selective amnesia is starting to look like a criminal MO.

Lynch Testimony Reveals Bias and Intent For Failing To Give Trump Defensive Briefing
Said she didn't know why candidate Trump did not receive DOJ "defensive briefings"

saraacarter.com ^ | 3/13/2019 | Sara A. Carter / FR Posted by bitt

Pres Trump’s campaign was never given a defensive briefing by the FBI, despite mounting concerns that Russians were allegedly trying to penetrate the campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

In testimony provided by Obama's AG Loretta Lynch, along with others, it is the key finding that won’t bode well for the FBI and DOJ. It also raises significant questions regarding preferential treatment of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and whether she ever received ‘defensive briefings’ in detail from the bureau. Lynch’s testimony is still not public but has been reviewed by SaraACarter.com.

"I WAS CERTAINLY AWARE THAT IT WAS AN OPTION, BUT
I DON’T KNOW WHAT, IF ANYTHING, EVER HAPPENED TO THAT OPTION," SAID LYNCH.

The "defensive briefing" is a time-honored procedure that is often given to presidential candidates, elected officials and even U.S. businesses that have either been unwittingly approached by foreign actors attempting to gain trust and befriend those in position of influence.

The briefing allows the government to protect the candidates, specifically if there is substantial information or knowledge to suggest that someone has targeted an unwitting American for information. If the FBI or intelligence agencies suspect foreign adversaries may be trying to penetrate a presidential campaign, as those FBI and DOJ sources suggested in

Anyone asking Sally Yates for a timely quote for the evening news?

Always been my feeling that Yates was a thick co-conspirator with Brennan.

“I seem to recall it was MUELLER who ERASED cellphone comms between Strzok and Page, and ????”

Oh it was probably just his secretary’s foot slipped on that little button under the desk.

The fact that they are not releasing the name is significant because it suggests this may be only the first of a string of dominos to fall.

In other words, by letting it leak that some unknown official is going down, they are putting other suspects on notice that this may be their last chance to cut a deal - before they get named as part of someone else’s deal.

I think this is why these investigations take so long and rarely catch the big fish. They leak things, offer deals, let it percolate for awhile, hoping to reel in the big fish, but the big fish have better lawyers and advisors who know how to keep their direct involvement at arms length - they are protected by “plausible deniability”.
