Earlier this year, the political world was gripped by a stunning accusation from Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that the governments application for a warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was born of bias and almost entirely reliant on a dossier of information compiled on the dime of Democratic operatives. He had a memo that made that argument; eventually, and probably without much goading, President Trump was persuaded to release it publicly.
Even based on what was known then, the hype surrounding Nuness memo seemed to oversell the point. In short order, other revelations about the warrant application made it clear that the contents of the memo were iffy. It was the second time in two years that Nunes had gone to bat in defense of one of Trumps pet theories, and neither time worked out that well.
As it turns out though, Nuness efforts to raise questions about the surveillance warrant, granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, were even less robust than they seemed at the time. With the release Friday of a redacted copy of both the initial warrant application targeting Page in October 2016 and the three 90-day extensions of the warrant, we can get a better sense of just how far from the mark the Nunes memo actually was.

Right, it speaks volumes that Carter Page hasnt been charged with jaywalking.
They needed the guise that Carter Page was a Russian Operative.
Not even one of Muellers fake, railroad Prosecutions.

How convenient.
Byron York’s response to fifth paragraph in his Washington Examiner piece - FISA warrant application supports Nunes memo - states:
Democrats argue that the FISA Court judges should have been able to figure out, from that obscure description, that the DNC and Clinton campaign paid for the dossier. That seems a pretty weak argument, but in any case, the Nunes memo’s statement that the FISA application did not disclose or reference the role of the DNC and the Clinton campaign is undeniably true...

if Dems are really arguing such nonsense, it would be worse, because that would prove the FISA judges KNEW they were approving a warrant based on Clinton/DNC unverified “evidence”. if I were them, I would not push this angle, even though I believe the FISA judges did know. lol.
I really need to read to the the end of the thread...
good job
Bump
Reminds me of the Black Knight from Monty Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4
IOW, Philip Bump lies in the pages of the Washington ComPost. Again. Thanks dirtboy.
"After all we did for her, that lousy Hillary lost. "Howm I gonna get out of the mess Im in?"
I know, we say its Russian collusion
.....lie like crazy that Trump did it.
Finally, evidence of Trump grabbing a p***y.
LOL.......at long last.....vindication.
If one lies, they all lie and a lot of people are taken in by it. It is unacceptable that there is not a free news outlet on television like the MSM that tells the truth.
The Steele “dossier” is a fraud and was designed to be revealed as a fraud. In 1958 Rocky and Bullwinkle had an episode where a book entitled “Sex on Planet X” was on a bookshelf. It only showed for a split second. Some creative people like to do things like that. The “Sex on Planet X” type prank is revealed on the first page of the “dossier.” It is classified “Confidential/Sensitive Source.” I retired from DIA and saw thousands of classified messages. There is no such thing as Confidential/Sensitive Source. No intel agency would be that stupid. The “dossier” claims this source was close to Putin. This was not a government document but supposedly written by a retired British intel officer. If it was true he would have been responsible for the death of a high ranking source.
The Washington Post have two reporters that are most dear to them. The first reporters name is “reliable source I just make this crap up.” He gives his information to the reporter called, “I believe this crap you just made up.” He then gives it to the editor that publishes it under the title of, “From a reliable source.”
They never publish the surname of, “I just make this crap up.”

Re Bump’s asinine comment that Page “was a target of the Russians” as though that was a crime on Page’s part.
Go to the site www.keywiki.org, search under “Edward Kennedy”, not “Ted”, and read the FBI report entitled “Contacts Between Representatives of the Soviet Union and members or Staff Personnel of the United States Congress” Internal Security - Russia (TOP SECRET) July 28, 1970 about who in Congress was “targeted” by the KGB for possible influence (and implied recruitment even if they didn’t know about it).
The list included Sen. Edward Brooke (a moderate Republican, a logical Soviet target for influencing through disinformation).
Ellender - LA - liberal to slightly conservative
Fulbright - D. I’m sure they got to him through his aides (i.e. disinformation re Vietnam and the “arms race”)
Hatfield - R. A so-called “pacifist” who sided with the Reds on a lot of issues. More a “moral coward” than a defender of the faith and America.
EDWARD KENNEDY - Mass. D - one of the key targets of the Soviets. Personally I suspected one of his aides on a subcommittee as being pro-Hanoi. That’s just me but when you read what he wrote, you’ll understand why I distrusted him.
Mansfield - Moderate Democrat but on the slightly dovish side. Key foreign policy senator
Eugene McCarthy - the biggest Soviet dupe on the Senate.
McGovern - already pro-communist since his WW2 days and his theology school days, McGovern would be the perfect KGB dupe and much of his foreign policy statements sounds like they were made in Moscow or Hanoi.
Mondale - another “dupe”. Could sell him the Brooklyn Bridge and tell him it was in Florida.
Muskie - Another “weak” Democrat re foreign policy. An easy target for the Reds.
Rep. James G. Fulton - R-Pa. Jimmy was a stanch anti-communist and therefore he would have to be coopted or compromised by some scandal Fortunately he was smarter than that. He encouraged me to expose a Hanoi operation in the U.S., which I did.
Robert Leggett - D - leftist (calif). A perfect target for the KGB. He was already predisposed to Soviet policies
Sen. Donald Riegle (R-Mich). A closet hard left Republican who would be more useful to the Soviet as a Republican than as a Democrat. Check out his voting record on US foreign policies. It will hit you in the face like a sledge hammer.
Soviet contacts with the Sen. Foreign Relations Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee and both the Sen. and House Armed Services Committee were discussed in this memo.
It is enlightening and this is only for the period up to 1970.
Communist penetration of Congressional staffs rose during the late 60s/early 70’s including that of Rep. George Miller ),(D-Cal), a hardcore communist sympathizer; Ron Dellums (D-Ca), another hardcore red himself - he hired communists/Marxists for his staff; and Bella Abzug (D-NY). If you worked for Bella, you had to know that she was a communist. Even her best liberals friends said so.
In the 80’s, Sen. John Kerry hired a Marxist freak show of people as staffers and consultants/parttimes (Porter, Varelli, possibly Avirgan).
Anyone working for Rep. Don Edwards (D-CA) and the Burton Brothers (D-CA) knew they were far-left communist sympathizers or “anti-anti-communists” (Edwards was all of them). The same for George Crockett Jr (D-Mich), Comrade John Conyers (D-Mich), Crazy Ryan of NY (killed by Rev. Jim Jones at Jonestown, Kastenmaier (D-Wisc), crazy Don Fraser - Minn; etc.
The other known CPUSA member in Congress in the 50’s or early 60’s was Hugh DeLacey (D-Ca), one of Leon Panetta’s mentors and best friends. The other CPUSA-lining representative was the one-termer Charles O. Porter (D-Wash or Oregon). He toed the Red line on every foreign policy issue.
Parren Mitchell (D-Md). I suspected him of being a Soviet asset due to his close connection to Baltimore Communists and an identified Soviet spy from WW2.
There were others but I just wanted to repeat these names in light of the FBI memo of 1970. If anyone was “colluding with the Soviets/Russians” in Congress, it was the Democrats, period.
A full investigation of these people, over time, would shock America to its core, and destroy the Democrat Party.
The document proves the dossier was a central element of the application, and it proves the court was not candidly advised of the provenance of the dossier. The WaPo spin falls flat in the face of those facts.
This will do until the redactions are removed. The swamp water is being heated gradually.
Philip Bump? That’s a name? What psycho ward did the WaPo find him in?
Too funny - what Nunes says is only 25 times stronger than the arguments of the anti-Trump folks/deep State, so Nunes must be full of it.....
They put him into the campaign just so they could use his name to SPY on ALL the Trump Campaign!
