Winners and losers from the House memo detailing FBI surveillance abuses
The Washington Times ^ | February 3, 2018 | Washington Times Staff

Posted on 02/03/2018 10:15:32 AM PST by jazusamo

With President Trump’s blessing, House Republicans released a declassified bombshell memo Friday revealing that the FBI relied on a partisan and unverified anti- Trump dossier to justify spying on a Trump campaign aide during the presidential race in 2016.

As a result of that decision, here are the winners and losers:

WINNERS

President Donald Trump : The memo paints a partisan bias atop the FBI against the president. Also the dubious way the FBI initially obtained a FISA warrant for Trump aide Carter Page will likely impact public perception of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling.

Trump should order Sessions to fire Rosenstein.
He signed a request for a warrant, which was based on false information. That is a crime.

Screw what the Dems think about it.

I’ll read it; however, I’ve not seen any losers yet. The Left, even when guilty, has no shame, MSM totally defending them, no arrests, ...

Robert Mueller: While his investigation is separate from what is outlined in the memo, the roots of the reason for his hiring can be traced back to the dubious dossier. No matter what he uncovers, the public already perceives a partisan taint.

Public perception be damned. What about the rule of law?

No arrests yet but, at least, Sessions has passed this on to the DOJ-IG for further action. When they’re completed with their investigation, Rosenstein, Comey, and the others named in the memo could be indicted and prosecuted.

If your enemies are squirming and shooting each other, pop some pop corn stand back and watch. Why fire any one? Congress has oversight, let them investigate and recommend. Rosenstein inherited the mess.

I read something about Carter Page possibly taking legal action but there were no particulars.

Instead of firing Rosenstein or Mueller,do what the democrats do,every republican or Trump staffer every time they do an interview,say this whole Russia investigation was a fraud,they had to lie to get a special council spending millions looking for no crime.
Now they are trying to make one up to justify the millions they have spent.

I expect Rosenstein will be asked to resign after the midterms. But not before as the media would love to make that issue a firestorm.

Disagree, Rosenstein is the architect of the witch hunt and he gave Mueller a blank check and no limits. None. Mr. President this is the moment, fire that weasel now before they destroy you. Sessions won’t do it. Look at the way they are reacting they have declared war you must take the offensive IMHO.

This was nothing other than a full court press to overthrow/prevent a non Marxist president being elected. The FBI and much of the Justice Department must be defunded. IMHO.

No kidding, I can't stand to watch 3 minutes of the alphabet brown noser's. They have incredible skill at being able to talk around the most important damaging points without ever mentioning them.
