The Department of Justice lost its latest battle... when it allowed House Intelligence Committee members to view classified documents about a top-secret intelligence source that was part of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign. Even without official confirmation of that source’s name, the news so far holds some stunning implications...
Among them is that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation outright hid critical information from a congressional investigation...
The bureau already has some explaining to do. Thanks to the... leakers, we know Mr. Nunes’s request deals with a “top secret intelligence source”... who is a U.S. citizen and who was involved in the Russia collusion probe... we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person... to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.
This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about... Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials... Now we find it may have also been rolling out human intelligence, John Le Carré style, to infiltrate the Trump campaign...
When? The bureau has been doggedly sticking with its story that a tip in July 2016 about the drunken ramblings of George Papadopoulos launched its counterintelligence probe... When precisely was the Steele dossier delivered to the FBI? When precisely did the Papadopoulos information come in?
And to the point, when precisely was this human source operating? Because if it was prior to that infamous Papadopoulos tip, then the FBI isn’t being straight. It would mean the bureau was spying on the Trump campaign prior to that moment. And that in turn would mean that the FBI had been spurred to act on the basis of something other than a junior campaign aide’s loose lips...

The plant has to be Jeff Sessions.
If it was Jeff Sessions, Trump would post a copy of the unredacted document on the White House website and then send about 500 Twitter messages calling Sessions a scumbag and a criminal.
Only then would he fire Sessions.
Treason should be prosecuted
I’ve come around to the view it’s Carter Page.
Or someone who came over from one of Trump’s GOP opponents...
Dy-no-mite!
This is the smoking gun.
She says she thinks she knows who it is. So it’ll be coming out.
I agree it’s Page. But Trump didn’t know who it was. Though he probably knows now.
Robert “Whitey” Mueller made his bones hiding exculpatory evidence, so why are we surprised?
She says that Congress knows now. They just haven’t said.
“I believe I know the name of the informant, but my intelligence sources did not provide it to me and refuse to confirm it.”
Whoever makes the movie will be forever remembered
Has to be.
Sessions is the plant.
What makes me almost certain that Wall Street titan turned Hollywood producer Steve Bannon is already working on that movie? :-)
It’s Page. The question is what are the implications?
Carter seems to far out of the loop.
If this is true, then the entire FBI needs to be disbanded, and the higherups responsible need to be put in prison. This is KGB type behavior.
He doesn’t fit Kim’s profile.
a separate thread devoted to casting the film would be amusing.
Go for the vanity...
I see the time line forming. With person’s names, dates, places, etc. This WHOLE story will be blowing wide open. Let MANY go to prison and do plenty of hard time. Let the people of this country get justice and restore some respect for government....if that can ever happen after this.
