Word parsing:

CIA doesn’t have to spy within CONUS—They have their buddies in 5 eyes do it for them. And FBI did spy—then they had to fake data to get a FISA to cover their behinds.

CIA did not spy doesn’t equal no spying by anyone.

Excellent point. I did think there’s probably parsing in there that I missed. It’s what the CIA staff of the NYT do best.

And then there’s CIA who work for FBI. I read a policy document (FOIAA) a while back that indicated that, during OBama’s reign, the document established the terms under which employees in one agency could also work for another (CIA/FBI).

I’ve heard peeps like Strzok are CIA (photo of him shaking hands with a CIA black hat I forget). So if they spied, it wasn’t for their day job in the CIA.

They’ve all taken lessons from Clinton and the meaning of “is”.

Another way to get around the law, other than farming out to five eye, would be to assign somebody 'on loan' to the FBI.

During the Obama fiasco of an administration, it occurs to me that there was no 'Jamie Gorelick wall' between our foreign and domestic intel units (thanks derp Bush). They were one and the same and worked together.

Recall the 'FBI' agent that was assigned to the Vatican (I think) that went up to London as part of the Crossfire Hurricane INTERNATIONAL coup against Trump. I forget the name, but that's an example.

If FBI is domestic, wtf are they doing being ASSIGNED overseas. Just curious.,p> So, yea. The CIA proper may not have spied on Trump, but they sure as hell were involved. Starting with the CIA chief himself, Mugsy Brennan.

What's Barr got to say about THAT?

(took me awhile to figure out what I thought about this. Still open to suggestions).

p.s. Remember when we thought taking down the 'Gorelick wall' was a good thing cause of 9-11? Boy, those derps fooled us good, right?

I think it was confirmed but never acknowledged that Strzok is the person at F_I that is in a “liason” position meaning he works for both F_I and C_A
