A huge controversy erupted last year when President Trump declassified parts of the FBI's secret request to wiretap former Trump campaign volunteer foreign policy adviser Carter Page. Defenders and critics of the president argued over whether the October 2016 warrant application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court relied extensively on the so-called Steele dossier, which was a collection of anti-Trump allegations compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. They also argued over whether the warrant adequately informed the court that the dossier was, in fact, a work of political opposition research, rather than legitimate intelligence gathering.
The arguments ended in impasse, with defenders and detractors set in their positions.
Now, however, we have new evidence, in the form of the Mueller report, to evaluate the Page FISA application. We can ask: Was the information the FBI relied on true? Were the FBI's representations to the court accurate? The answers do not bode well for the bureau.

Well DUH. So we're to believe Byron York is just getting woke on this now? He's an idiot or worse.
They weren’t wrong. They just F-ing lied. Knowingly and deliberately.
They are criminals that should face the gallows.
They were wrong is the same fashion that a den of rattlesnakes is repulsive.
To quote George Costanza
“It’s not a lie if you believe it, Jerry!”
Homer Simpson: It takes two people to lie, Marge.
One to lie, and one to listen.
“The FBI and DOJ have been corupt for thirty years... Read Jerry Spence ...Police State.. FBI and DOJ use entraptment...Ninety percent never go to trail...”
Yup.

And for exactly the same reason.
They know full well traitors are hanged.
It probably wan't necessary to actually find anything, because the FBI knew there probably wasn't anything. But the Page connection to both Russia and Trump, even though they were not related, allowed the Obama administration to tie them together, even if only in theory.
Seems extremely tenuous to me, unless there is something more.
The rank and file agents may not be personally corrupt, but they are willing to ignore the collective corruption going on in their organization. An organization takes on the values of its leadership. The individuals then function within that set of values since ignoring corruption allows them to advance.
I didn’t realize Byron York was this deceptive/ignorant. it’s been 8 years since I’ve watched MSP-MainStreamProgramming. I don’t miss it at all.
