Having read the Congressional FISA memo, and now having listened to Isikoff in this interview, I find the memo is not exaggerating anything. The statement that the FBI used the Isikoff article to validate the dossier is quite true because he said Steele provided him information.
Further, how in hell did Isikoff know the FBI was investigating Carter Page in the first place unless someone in either the FBI or the DOJ told him they were? He said "which I already knew. . ." in reference to the FBI investigating Page. Such investigations are confidential. Isikoff inadvertently just provided more proof that the deep state was setting this up.
I used to think all this conspiratorial stuff was wackadoodle, now I see the pattern that we have members of the press that are the mouth pieces for the bad actors in INTEL / Justice / Mil.
I came from an Industry that could support 2 major players, however it had 2.5 as the .5 was an arm of their Gov't. Strong competition. Even in Major Corporations in the 80's and 90's subcontractor numbers were paired back to maybe 3 or 4.
With that said why the heck do we have 16 INTEL agencies and what the hell are they doing and why aren't they downsized and or consolidated and where is their oversight?
Their is a Washington Times piece today that denotes their may have been 6 or 7 INTEL agencies that had a "Stealth" deal going on being bad actors and that Brennan is in on it up to his Friggen Ears. Let's downsize, close or consolidate these 6 or 7 if they can't be trusted....
