There was an important revelation yesterday that Dan Bongino talked about on his show: It's Over.
I heard just the other day that a document was released under a FOIA request by Citizens United, a transcript of a meeting that Christopher Steele had with the State Department ten days before their FISA application that was approved in October 2016.
Out of the blue, there suddenly came down that the FBI had redacted a portion of that transcript. I heard this, and thought "Geez, why out of the blue would they suddenly redact on the fly as the document was being released?"
The meeting was apparently encompassed discussion about certain people who were said to have come and gone from the USA, and in it, there were a few sentences redacted. There was also discussion by Steele that "he was encouraged by a client to get his research out before the 2016 election" (the research was "The Dossier")
In the official typed transcript of the meeting that Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec created and sent to various people (almost certainly the FBI, but this is not yet verified) they are talking about the comings and goings of people.
While the meeting was going on...Kavalec was writing down notes that would be used for the transcript, and apparently, as they were discussing various people, Kavalec was accessing a system on a laptop or desktop PC to verify the dates people were entering or leaving, and these were all typed up in the transcript...except for one that was redacted.
What did those one or two sentences say that the FBI felt the need to redact?
Well, WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW, is that in the FOIA request by Citizens United (HAHAHAHAHAHA...what F*** ups!) they also released the handwritten notes, and...scrawled in the margin, right next to where the material was in the handwritten notes (that WAS redacted in the typed transcript) was "Cohen-Prague".
What was redacted was almost certainly the results of her search in the State Department system on Trump's scummy lawyer Cohen, saying that when she looked, there is no record in the system that he ever went to Prague.
We all know that, right? Cohen denied going there, his scummy leftist lawyer Lanny Davis denied his client had gone there, and Mueller in his report said there was no evidence Cohen had ever gone to Prague. This is old news, right?
Except for one thing: This transript was sent to the FBI about eight days before the FISA warrant was applied for. So here is smoking gun proof that the FBI KNEW in advance that the Dossier used in applying for the FISA warrant, the Dossier whose ENTIRE CONTENT HINGED ON COHEN GOING TO PRAGUE TO NEGOTIATE FOR THE PURLOINED EMAILS, was FRAUDULENT.
Yet they signed off on the application anyway. AND, there is also evidence the FBI KNEW it was political attack material, not intelligence.
One more thing: I want to know who redacted that line out of the released transcript. Who was that?
Thats funny right there.
And who made the redaction???
I think we’ll find that the current head of the FBI is a dirty cop too.
I saw and shared that Bongino show with several pals. It’s absolutely critical. it’s 100% irrefutable proof that
1: the FBI knew Steele was a goofball; both in terms of having violated his confidentiality agreement (by going to the State Dep’t and probably the press) and not being able to keep his story straight on occasions mere DAYS apart. Not to mention his concern that the dossier should be released before election day,
2: thus they knew the “Steele dossier” was bogus; but
3: swore it was verified when they went to the FISA court [not just “suspected” it was bogus, but knew with certainty it was bogus] The FBI also vouched for Steele as having “no negatives” in front of the same court when they knew item #1, above.
4: and now with Wray classifying the TYPED versions of Kavalecs’ notes until 2041 (but failing to so classify the HANDWRITTEN notes......which are OUT)
There’s no investigation needed. This charade is provably over. Certainly does not mean it WILL be over.
Great recap post.
I’d like to know who did that redacting, as well.
Sooner, rather than later.
