Chuck Grassley Memo Comes Next – Question Surrounds FBI Knowledge of Steele Shopping Dossier To ..
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 2/3/2018 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 02/03/2018 9:31:06 PM PST by bitt

Democrats, media, and the aggregate DOJ/FBI intelligence community are finally seeing accountability. With the HPSCI memo now in the rear-view mirror, and the content in the bloodstream of the U.S. electorate, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is next.

Toward the end of December, the FBI provided the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, with FBI investigative documents (likely FD-302’s) from their contacts with Christopher Steele. According to most reasonable timing we can discover Steele met with FBI officials sometime around October 1st, 2016.

From the U.K. lawsuit against Christopher Steele (pdf here), Steele admits to having shopped the Clinton-Steele dossier to U.S. media outlets “in person” in late September (New York Times, WaPo, New Yorker and CNN), and mid-October, 2016 (New York Times, WaPo, and Yahoo News), per instructions from Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS):

Sundance lays it out nicely, but I question his conclusion that Rosenstein is a White Hat

Senator John McCain provided the Steele dossier to James Comey in December of 2016.
No surprise there. Go brain cancer.

I agree with you, unless and until Donald Fires sessions and appoints someone such as Pruitt, absolutely nothing will happen, and to top it off Leftist will laugh in our faces. Its all up to Trump, but regretfully, I see him doing nothing.

We simply don’t know if the FBI knew they were supplying false information to the FISA court. To me, that’s an important distinction. We (conservatives) may not like what happened, but it’s possible the FBI was operating in good faith. It may be shoddy work, but it’s not necessarily criminal...yet.

The were surveying an opposition presidential campaign for God's sake. Where do you people come from?

Does the court of law ask snopes what they feel?

Well, we know they use unsourced msm reports to obtain fisa warrants. So I think the answer to your question is it's not unreasonable to think they do.

The article says Steele met with the FBI on October 1st, 2016. The initial warrant was requested on October 21, 2016. If Steele gave the dossier to the FBI on October 1st, it’s quite obvious that there was no real attempt on their part to try to verify the dossier before they used info from it to request a FISA warrant.

The idea is to expose the differences in the info recorded in the 302s from Steele vs. the info from Fusion and others. Grassley wants the FBI to declare whether Steele or Fusion, etc, is telling the truth.

This shows that Isikoff is a Deep State media operative.

Isikoff is the writer of the notorious Koran in the Toilet article for the Washington Postls Newsweek.

“The FD-302’s (FBI investigative interview notes), which appear to have been turned over to Senate Chairman Chuck Grassley, would contain the evidence to support the FBI being duped...”

Mmhmm. But what about the subsequent renewals? I suppose the excuse will be by then they had more “proof”.

If he fired Sessions (or anyone for that matter) what would he be obstructing? Sessions has recused himself from everything Trump related including his duties as AG

They might be able to charge him with anything they want but that doesn't mean they can "get" him on anything.

I think he's going to surprise a lot of people on how he clears this all up and he's going to politely rub their faces in it afterward.

your butt will be call to the fr carpet over your post right along with mine but you are correct.

until we have a justice department handing out justice in the form of jail time, not just indictments and departmental firings and congress critters not running again, we have nothing but vain "look what i did" words on paper that mean nothing. these words will be covered up like cat scat in the dirty litter box they call washington with more vain scat words.

and i am afraid the sad part is that in the shiffty low life cesspool they call dc, the guilty parties will go unpunished and the guilty parties will continue to fight for the ruination of ameerica.

sorry for no caps. shoulder surgery and one handing it

I am hoping these Republicans are truly seeking God’s advice first for the true revelation of events, etc. He already knows what is what and where is where, who did what and who didn’t, etc. etc. . . . To do otherwise would be totally stupid.

“The level of criminal activity tolerated by Obama and Hillary ...”

SERIOUSLY ?

Did you not mean the level of criminality DIRECTED by Obama and Hillary?

“this memo thing is just a waste of time, there is NO ONE to enforce any of this”

Completely wrong.

There is a reason the Democrats have been shaking in their boots.

This exposes crimes to the light of day. It confirms what we’ve suspected is supported by the evidence, contrary to the Democrat media narrative.

It demands actions on the part of DOJ under either Sessions or, if Sessions must recuse himself from everything whenever the word “Russia” is invoked, a special counsel whose job is to investigate criminal abuse of the FISA courts to spy on a political campaign.

The whole attempt to investigate Trump is based on fantasy.

But there is an avalanche of evidence demonstrating corruption in the FORMER administration, the FBI, State Department, and Democrat party.

Just because you feel beat down over the past several years of just having to take whatever abuse was perpetrated by the Obama administration upon us, does not mean you should should curl up in a ball and accept the abuse. We’re winning.

Time for a real investigation. If Mueller is too biased to investigate objectively, we must find someone who can.

Crimes were committed.

You may be right on that. I never thought of it that way because or the hatred of Trump by Strzok and Page. Thanks for pointing that out.

Pray that doesn’t happen. If it does, the war that ensues will insure that these coup plotters are the first victims.
