How could former FBI director James Comey and his accomplices be so bold as to think they could get away with spying on Carter Page, a 2016 Trump campaign adviser, when they objectively knew Page was not a Russian agent?
Answer: Because they had already corrupted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court system. Applications for warrants to spy on Americans were being approved without truthful and accurate corroboration of their allegations.
The standard for the government to obtain warrants under FISA is the highest in U.S. law because preventing terrorism and foreign danger involves the otherwise unconstitutional invasion of privacy of U.S. citizens. In theory, the facts alleged on the application have to be correct. In practice, prior to being caught, corrupt actors in charge of the relevant bureaucracies could spy on whomever they chose.
Another answer to the question posed above is that top officials at the FBI thought they would never be audited in a million years.
The Audit of the Woods Procedures
But the release of the Horowitz Report in late 2019 in which U.S. Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz found 17 inaccuracies and omissions by the FBI and “a litany of false and even falsified representations used to continue the secret investigation targeting the Trump campaign and its associates,” would lead to an IG audit of the FISA process.
Mr. Horowitz is currently auditing, but his troubling discoveries have prompted him to send a memo to FBI Director Christopher Wray prior to completing his audit.

At this point, further investigation into “muh Russia” hoax is utterly irrelevant. If no one is going to get arrested, it’s like the latest “findings” on the JFK assassination.
Because they’re gonna get away with it.
Barr has dragged this out too long. Just look at all the stuff he didn’t release when he could have and prosecutions they could have gone for but didn’t.
Now all the courts are closed down. And in a couple of months it will be too close to the election. All they need to do is get Trump booted, by hook and crook, in November.
Even if Trump were miraculously to wrest another term from them, the statute of limitations would largely be gone and it would have to be a big RICO prosecution.
blah blah blah ...
All talk and no action.
Comey and Pals to get 4:00 am police visit.
And letting them keep the money.
Thank you.
It’s nice to see this type of story in a sea of COVID-19.
