A former top FBI lawyer acknowledged he was personally involved in the warrant application to surveil then-Trump campaign aide Carter Page and confirmed other "unusual" steps taken in the FBI’s Russia probe in 2016, during a closed-door congressional interview.

“I was aware of the [Russia] investigation,” James Baker told House investigators in October. Fox News has confirmed details of the transcript which is still under government review before its public release.

Baker said he was briefed on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant “as time went by” and recalled how he got involved early in the process. The warrant relied heavily on the unverified anti-Trump dossier, which was financed by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign via the law firm Perkins Coie.

Slowly, some thing are coming unraveled.

and will there be any legal remedy versus these conspirators?

“Slowly, some thing are coming unraveled. “

They need to “ravel” into handcuffs, trials and prison sentences.

The Swamp was much deeper than anybody thought.

I’d bet $5 nothing happens to them, as usual. Look at all of Hitlery Klintoon’s crimes, and free-as-a-bird.

The gist was KNOWN *ages* ago by those willing to open their eyes and THINK for a brief few moments.

That JUSTICE and the Rule of Law should prevail??...I doubt you’d find more than handful on FR believing in that fantasy.

[Carriage Hill]

Deeper AND wider. It’s interconnected around the world.

[Carriage Hill]

+1.
But I take it into the execution phase.

[JAKraig]

It’s time to stop calling it the Steele Dossier and call it what it is the Hillary Clinton Dossier.

[Carriage Hill]

+1.

Respectfully, not much deeper than I thought.

I caught on at least by OKC, Ruby Ridge, Waco, if not before.

That is why I have been called a concern troll or debbie downer - by what I call cookie-cutter conservatives:

Because I am an ordained minister who understands Original Sin, human nature, and how power corrupts.

I have seen how even modest power within the clergy corrupts. How much more the power that these unelected apparatchiks wield?

The Steal Dossier: designed to steal the authority from the duly-elected President.

Maybe the only way to get them is on human trafficking and prostitution charges. This is less risky than going after senators and congressman, along with city mayors of the DNC known to be involved in international drug trafficking which is too big a business to shut down; probably the opposition to the wall is our own corrupt politicians and their law enforcement lackies that control the US Drug distribution in the USA. The only way for Trump to get the wall is allow the drugs in some other way.

Trump should declare a National Emergency, then declare a State of Intervention in Mexico because the USA now has a vested interest in the violence in Mexico against people's families living in the US both legally and illegally. This declaration would allow the US to intervene into the affairs of Mexico which are out of control - kinda like Grenada or Panama in the 1980s. Restore the peace, ferret out know corrupt politicians and policemen and turn the Mexican government over a new political elite who are not yet corrupted by Drugs and Prostitution.

Perhaps we could totally secure the border and shoot any who come over illegally. Let the south of the border take care of themselves.

[Carriage Hill]

Hadn’t thought of it that way, but I do agree 101%.

Tell us all about yourself, Yogi old bean!

I especially enjoyed it the other day when you were complaining that the
church chicks found you boring and the preacher wouldn't help to get you laid.

You're a riot, dude.
