........ We now know the FBI used an article from Yahoo News as independent corroboration for the Steele dossier when, in fact, Steele had talked to the news outlet, reports Solomon. If the FBI knew Steele had that media contact before it submitted the article, it likely would be guilty of circular intelligence reporting, a forbidden tactic in which two pieces of evidence are portrayed as independent corroboration when, in fact, they originated from the same source. These issues are why the FBI email chain, kept from most members of Congress for the past two years, suddenly landed on the declassification list.
Lets hope Trump does declassify the email chain. It will shed light on how something as monstrously stupid as a FISA application stitched together from the smears of one campaign against another campaign could happen without serious dissent. It will probably show that someone weakly raised an objection or two but was shushed by all the partisan liberal lawyers and agents Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, and Comey had hired.
Holder was famous for not letting anyone but flagged liberals work at the Justice Department. Years of such hiring creates the kind of groupthink that would allow for a cock-up of FISA-gates magnitude, where an American citizen was treated as a probable Russian agent whose every communication, both past and present, could be ransacked by FBI agents, all based n the word of a political opponent.
Take away Comeys sanctimony and he was just a crook with a badge, congratulating himself for the agonies of his conscience while violating the civil liberties of a campaign volunteer caught up in the Obama administrations espionage.

I'd almost be as happy if the delusional Comey found himself behind bars as I would seeing the fetid and foul Chappaqua Beast behind bars.
Everything Trump has tried to accomplish will be wiped out if he does not prosecute this one series of crimes.
They keep throwing out these names, when the name that needs to be shouted from the rooftops is Barak Hussein Obama, the ringleader of all of this treasonous sedition.
Definitely a ginned up abuse of power and conspiracy.
Worse than anything else in Executive abuse of power, I’d say.
“Holder was famous for not letting anyone but flagged liberals work at the Justice Department.”
If there were something comparable on our side.
“Years of such hiring creates the kind of groupthink that would allow for a cock-up of FISA-gates magnitude...”
Cock up or deliberate, it underscores the need to “drain the swamp”.
I saw this smirking arrogant a-hole comment by saying;
"It appears they are trying to go back to talking about Hillary's email. I don't know why they would waste time on that, but OK I'll play along"
(I wish I could reach inside the TV and slap his smart ass mouth shut.)
Bttt.

If there is no prosecution due to unwillingness to be unpleasant, or for whatever reason, then Comey will be proved correct.
If there was wrongdoing and crimes committed, then it must be prosecuted. Justice cannot be an option. It cannot be only applied to Republicans. If Hillary committed a crime, she must be prosecuted.
Not sure if anything will be done about it.
“Justice cannot be an option.”
That’s worth repeating.

I think you are very correct.

It makes me ill!
Should have been "marketed" to the masses in this way.
It's unfortunate, but stripping it down, making it much more concise and framing it like that may have reached more "non" political people.
Thats worth repeating.
===================================
An excellent, and concise statement.
I would word it differently though: Justice cannot be optional.
Well, they did nail him on how he treated discrepencies in Petreaus’s public comments on mishandling of classified material as evidence of perjury when it conflicted with his sworn testimony...while Comey excluded lies Hillary made in her public comments when judging her... some animals, in Comey’s eyes, truly are more equal than others.
Thanks a little elbow grease.

“FISA Warrant Hillary Bought”

After decades of watching the hildabeast operate, framing the scheme as
“FISA Warrant Hillary Bought” begs the question: exactly what did she get in return for the $10-1 million she paid perkins coie/fusion GPS?
there is always a quid pro quo in every clintonista deal.
Did she get to listen to the tapes of the FISA targets?
Did she broker access to intel sourced with the FISA bug to other interested parties? NGOs or nation states?
