Former officials are fighting over who deserves blame. Heres what you need to know: In rushing out their assessment of Russias interference in the 2016 election, Obama-administration officials chose not to include the risible Steele-dossier allegations that they had put in their VERIFIED APPLICATION for warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) because . . . wait for it . . . the allegations werent verified.
And now, the officials are squabbling over who pushed the dossier. Why? Because the dossier a Clinton-campaign opposition-research screed, based on anonymous Russian sources peddling farcical hearsay, compiled by a well-paid foreign operative (former British spy Christopher Steele) is crumbling by the day.
As I write, we mark the two-year anniversary of Robert Muellers appointment to take over the Russiagate probe which is fast transforming into the Spygate probe. Special Counsel Mueller inherited the investigation seven months after the Obama Justice Department and FBI sought a FISC warrant to monitor former Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page. By then, it was already acknowledged that dossier information was salacious and unverified, to quote congressional testimony by former FBI director James Comey.
That was problematic on a number of levels.
If dossier claims were still unverified when Comey testified to Congress in mid 2017 (and thereafter), then those claims could not have been verified when the Obama Justice Department and FBI submitted it to the FISC as a VERIFIED APPLICATION in October 2016. It also had to have been unverified on January 6, 2017, when the Obama administration chose to include a sliver of the dossier in the briefing of President-elect Trump the day after intelligence chiefs met with President Obama in the Oval Office and discussed what Russia information should be shared with the incoming Trump team.

Here is a really great article comparing the FBI’s corrupt relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS to their corrupt relationship with Whitey Bulger and the Boston Irish mob.
And Mueller had an evil and corrupt hand in both scandals, where innocent men were framed and ruined!!
How the FBI Broke the Rules Using Christopher Steele

Whatever happened to the one FISA judge, Contreras I think was his name, who was buddies with Strozk and Page?
And??
Biden’s memory is about to get really bad.
Remember when Trump hinted that he had recorded conversations with Comey?
I think, throughout this entire charade, that the President has known and knows, damn near EVERYTHING. As I’ve stated numerous times before, NYPD got into Weiner’s computer. Adm Rogers made the unannounced visit to Mar A Lago. We all know that the Deep State, is deep. Very deep. But there are some Conservative, patriots working for the government as well. And I’m betting that valuable information has been provided.
It has been reported that Gen Flynn was able to get some people into some of these agencies and no one has any idea who they are.
Perhaps Adm Rogers, given that the NSA has EVERYTHING, has all of her emails. Hasn’t Kim DotCom said, all along that the NSA has everything. Amazing that when guys like him speak, the media and establishment does everything in the world to discredit them, but never proves them wrong.
Time will tell. But, I’m betting that the President has all the information he needs and is just playing along.
Out of frustration, we all want it out there, on the table to finally put an end to this madness. But, it woulnd’t be the end. They’d just start something else. At least with this charade, more and more is revealed. It’s like that old saying....I know what this pile of sh*t looks like and smells like.
