The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence today made public a committee memo with information on abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Chairman Nunes issued the following statement:
"The Committee has discovered serious violations of the public trust, and the American people have a right to know when officials in crucial institutions are abusing their authority for political purposes. Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies exist to defend the American people, not to be exploited to target one group on behalf of another. It is my hope that the Committee's actions will shine a light on this alarming series of events so we can make reforms that allow the American people to have full faith and confidence in their governing institutions."
The memo is available here and here.

A special counsel needs to be appointed to investigate this travesty.
* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
* DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele’s bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.
* Incomplete and or falsified affidavit presented to a FISA court Judge to spy on those who opposed Hillary/Obama.
* Comey,Rosenstein,McCabe,Yates,Boente all signed off on the false affidavits to apply for FISA surveillance of political opponents.
* Falsified affidavit based on Yahoo News article whose source was GPS/Simpson,the firm hired by law firm retained by Hillary/DNC whose oppo research file was used for subsequent FISA warrants .
“Fruit of the poisonous tree” ALL evidence accrued and gathered is nullified due to the fact a false affidavit was used to accumulate the evidence.
Cue Guiliani
Can someone post the memo to another website? The link is being slammed. Thank you!
Be sure to express your sincere thanks to the bravest congressman I know, Devin Nunes.

So when are the arrests going to start?

I’ve already read the whole thing.
Memo tells us little we didn’t already know.
Interesting that the press is being manipulated to justify the warrant though. The Yahoo news story - based on the Steele dossier - was cited.
We’d read about this on FR for months now. Guess the rest of the world can play catch up.
>> Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies exist to defend the American people, not to be exploited to target one group on behalf of another.
Exploiting and targeting one group on behalf of the other? That’s the job of the Democrat party.
Read through it a couple of times. To boil it down, Obama officials deceived the FISA court in order to get a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. Bad. Really bad.
You mean special prosecutor. Serious crimes have been committed here.
Nunes is a national hero. A man with a spine. I guess it takes a farmer from the Midwest to bring down a bunch of Ivy League lawyers. BZ.
Thanks. I want to save it for posterity. This is an important document.
Thanks.
