OIG RPT: "Steele's information was never used in a criminal proceeding" and "most of it had not" been corroborated

Truth is Graham doesn’t want to investigate anything. It’s clear that he wants all this to go away quickly. As chair of the senate judiciary committee, he will do his damnedest to get it done and over with.
.
My fear is Trump doesn’t have anything other than polls to defeat these commies with. If he had some bona fide-laden dirt on them, he could and would have used it by now.
I don’t trust Graham, Horowitz, and even Barr at this point. Durham? Don’t know yet.
My remarks in this thread were on Graham's action with regard to government abuse of its power in order to throw elections, but more narrowly, abuse of the FISA system in order to get legal defense for what would otherwise be felony snooping. That exercise will be as much a whitewash as the Horowitz report.
As for "getting to the truth" of anything, the Senate is where the truth goes to die.
For some reason Lindseed reminds me of little Tommy Dashole..
Remember him?
Linda and McCain are off the hook
Meanwhile he can’t let the truth come out from Ukraine.
And for anyone with hope from the Horowitz whitewash:
Linda had a sad day and we only want happy days. I think there are drugs for that.
So as far as Lindseed goes, we know who will put forth the motion to dismiss the case in the senate now dont we?
I disagree. The second and third extensions to the FISA court applications were done when the FIB knew that the source for the Dossier disavowed the information in the dossier and the FIB lied to the court that the information was still good. The predicate for the initial application may have met the "low Threshold" but any subsequent extension was based upon information that the FIB knew to be false.

Sorry for some reason the formatting on FR is all screwed up these days. Spacing is all screwed up when doing a preview. And then what actually posts does not even equal what is seen in the preview.
I looked at the civil liability statute, and Page may be entitled to damages on all of the warrants.
I see the statute as either “all in” or “all out.” Depends on how 50 USC 1810 is parsed.
On way to read is 1810 is damages are owed to anybody who is the subject of FISA surveillance who is not an agent of a foreign power, whether or not there is a warrant.
Another way to read it is damages are owed to anybody who is snooped without a warrant.
The law has never been tested. FISA work is nearly 100% in secret, never even gets to criminal court. There is no way to find out you’ve been under a FISA warrant. Disclosure of the warrant on Page was a fluke.

Maybe it was a misquote. Graham may have said "I came here to do two things and two things only. Chew gum and kick ass. I just ran out of gum."
Then a Soros owned gum distributor forced the first packages of 10 year's supply of Bazooka bubble gum into his hands.

My guess is that the Government will want to settle out of court. Carter Page should strike now because the FISA court authorization must be renewed by December 15th and people like Rand Paul are not going to vote to renew when there is clear evidence of the FBI deceiving the court. What is to stop any future rogue FBI agents from repeating what was done?
In any case there is probably a long line of contingency fee lawyers wanting to urgently talk to Carter Page.
No doubt. Same with criminal prosecution, it won't happen. There is a risk that the law will be struck down as an impermissible encroachment on executive prerogative to conduct warrantless snooping.
We can have humblegunner hold the money.What you say?

Not nearly as sad as McGrahamesty.
