A review of a classified document outlining what is described as extensive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse was made available to all House members Thursday and the revelations could lead to the removal of senior officials in the FBI and Department of Justice, several sources with knowledge of the document stated. These sources say the report is “explosive,” stating they would not be surprised if it leads to the end of Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel investigation into President Trump and his associates.
The House Intelligence Committee passed the motion along party lines Thursday to make the classified report alleging extensive ‘FISA Abuse’ related to the controversial dossier available to all House members. The report contains information regarding the dossier that alleges President Trump and members of his team colluded with the Russians in the 2016 presidential election. Some members of the House viewed the document in a secure room Thursday.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., offered the motion on Thursday to make the Republican majority-authored report available to the members.
“The document shows a troubling course of conduct and we need to make the document available, so the public can see it,” said a senior government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the document. “Once the public sees it, we can hold the people involved accountable in a number of ways.” The government official said that after reading the document “some of these people should no longer be in the government.”
The document also apparently outlines “several problematic” issues with how FISA warrants were “packaged, and used” state several sources with knowledge of the report.
Over the past year, whistleblowers in the law enforcement and intelligence community have revealed to Congress what they believe to be extensive abuse with regard to FISA surveillance, as previously reported.
The dossier was used in part as evidence for a warrant to surveil members of the Trump campaign, according to a story published this month. Former British spy Christopher Steele, who compiled the dossier in 2016, was hired by embattled research firm Fusion GPS. The firm’s founder is Glenn Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter who has already testified before Congress in relation to the dossier. In October, The Washington Post revealed for the first time that it was the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC that financed Fusion GPS.
Congressional members are hopeful that the classified information will be declassified and released to the public.
“We probably will get this stuff released by the end of the month,” stated a congressional member, who asked not to be named.
But the government official, who viewed the document said “it will be tough for a lot of people to see this and especially the media, which has been attempting to deemphasize the dossier. It’s going to punch a hole in their collusion narrative.”
The House vote to make the report available to all members is a major step in exposing the long-guarded classified documents obtained by the House Intelligence Committee over the past year. It allows members of the House to view the report and could quickly lead to a motion to declassify the report for the public, numerous House members told this reporter.
“It’s a (House Intelligence) committee document that deals with the assessment on the Department of Justice, FBI and the oversight work that is being conducted by the committee,” said a congressional source, which spoke on condition that they not be named.
Notice that The Four have the same shytty gubment haircut.
Not sure what that means. Probably means I am racist, homophobic transphobic and self identify as a poodle.
I think the only thing Sessions didn’t recuse himself from where photos of Pre-Teen girls.
A Congrescritter was on Hannity today and talking about it. It sounds pretty big. I doubt it gets Loretta Lynch, Hillary, or Obama though. I think Comey and Rod Rosenstein may be the biggest fish caught.
thanks, Qiviut - taken from other thread..
The House Intelligence Committee voted today to allow all congressional members to view a summary report of classified documents behind the “Clinton Dossier”.
As Byron York writes in the Washington Examiner: “At the committee’s meeting Thursday morning, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., offered a motion to allow all House members to review a brief report prepared by the Republican majority summarizing the panel’s investigation into what GOP members call “FISA abuse.””
All of the Republicans voted to allow the sunlight, Adam Schiff and all the Democrats on the committee voted to block the sunlight.

Americans had better awaken.Our government and Constitution is in the process of being circumvented and overthrown. The Democrats are Evil and want to control. They pretend they want to take care of illegals but what they are doing is going after votes.
America has 46 Million Americans living below the poverty line,another 1.6 million are homeless and the Democrats care more about illegals than our own people. The Democrats and Rich Elite want the illegals to do their labor Americans wont do and to be their nannies to take care of their homes and kids and not have to pay certain taxes on. Then the Chamber of Commerce want low paid laborers to do farm and ordinary labor work. Pay attention folks while you can we are under attack by out political system in America. The Evil Democrats and never Trumpers are destroying America.
By the way America is subsidizing the rich and illegals to the tune of several hundred Billion Dollars a year and a lot of what they make they send back to foreign countries.
This is going to make for an interesting State of the Union address....Don’t ya think?
We will see it and soon. This is just too big a story to keep it from the public especially when one considers that all the Dems on the committee voted against releasing it to all House members while all the Reps voted for release. The clamor to get it released to the public will grow by the minute.
