Devin Nunes Asks Jeff Sessions What He’s Doing About FBI Violations of FISA Protocols
breitbart ^ | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 03/02/2018 3:26:17 PM PST by davikkm

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes (R-CA), is asking Attorney General Jeff Sessions whether the Justice Department is investigating what appears to be a “clear violation” of FBI protocols. In a letter sent on Thursday, Nunes laid out the protocols that FBI agents appear to have violated in using the Steele dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on a Trump campaign member under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

He cited FBI guidelines that officials must follow when requesting FISA warrants, including that “Only document and verified information may be used to support FBI applications [FISA] to the court [FISC].”

Nunes said in his letter that “former and current DOJ and FBI leadership have confirmed to the Committee that unverified information from the Steele dossier comprised an essential part of the FISA applications related to Carter Page.”

His rate of speech has become sooooo embarrassingly slow.

Jeff sounds like he purposefully e-nun-ci-ates every syllable to a mentally challenged toddler.

Didn’t he give them until Mar 2 to answer his questions on paper? Did they? Has he sent the subpoena to each, yet?

Trump didn’t get tricked....he was rewarding Sessions for his support when NO OTHERS supported him!! Sessions is a one note Johnny...Illegal Immigration is his wheelhouse....nothing else concerns him because he’s a SWAMP DWELLER!

He’s a career politician. And seems to be one of the go along to get along types. I admit not knowing much about him before his AG appoint but he sure is pissing me off as well as many other Americans with his do nothing approach during what might be the most scandalous time in our history.

I thought Trump was supposed to be a “Law and Order” President.

Not when it comes to Federal Employees apparently.

THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW

FIRE SESSIONS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s because any talk about Sessions being anything other that a political enemy of Trump is nonsense.

He needs to be fired immediately.

Jeff Sessions - Trump’s most glaring mistake of his presidency.

TOTALLY AGREE!

Sessions is akin to a little Chihuahua the barks incessantly but NEVER bites.

The whole state of California is ignoring Federal law.

Can you imagine if the state of Texas decided to say, ignore paying Federal taxes? Have the Governor tell everybody in the state that they do not have to pay Federal taxes?

Hell, now that I think about it, that might not be such a bad idea.

Maybe you should take a look at the Judiciary committee letters to IG Horowitz. An investigation that Sessions isn’t recused from.

Letters. LOL. Any exactly how much prosecutorial authority will those letters have?

What he first needs to ask is just how far Sessions has his head up his butt. Sessions would be a joke if this were not so serious.

It is beyond me to understand how the President can continue to support Sessions and why he does not ask for him to resign to be replaced with some with a spine and determination. There are plenty of candidates who can do the job not including Trey Gowdy another one who is all hat and no cattle.

I agree everyone here loved Sessions but how long do we remain tricked - or rather the president remained tricked? At this point I'm past blaming Sessions - this is now president Trump's mistake to fix and its making me start to doubt his wisdom. Wheres the wall? Why is Clinton walking around and why are we talking seriously about gun control, oh and why are the DACAns still here?

For the record Jeff Session blows goats and is a traitors loser or in other words McCain like.

Boy! Is that a stretch! Let’s have a contest to see who can come up with the most absurd excuse for Sessions being a spineless slacker and Trump having the worst case of misplaced loyalty possible for not firing and replacing Sessions.
