BREAKING: Senator Lindsey Graham Just Confirmed The Steele Dossier Was Used For 2016 FISA Warrant…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 12/30/17 | Sundance

Posted on 12/29/2017 10:26:26 PM PST by Teflonic

Everyone suspected the sketchy Steele Dossier was what corrupt FBI and DOJ officials used to get the October 2016 FISA warrant against Trump. FBI and DOJ officials refuse to answer that question publicly.

Despite a hundred different ways congressional investigators have asked the question, and despite numerous on-camera questions to FBI and DOJ officials about the 2016 FISA process, no-one had definitively confirmed the Christopher Steele ‘Russian Dossier’ was the underlying evidence for the 2016 FISA application to gain wiretaps and electronic surveillance upon presidential candidate Donald Trump. UNTIL NOW.

Senator Lindsey Graham just confirmed the sketchy Steele Dossier was used to get the wiretap and surveillance warrant from the FISA court. Brian Kilmead understood what he was hearing was serious, but didn’t quite catch the specific gravity of it. Watch at 04:10

…The back-story to the FISA warrant is the cornerstone. The back-story contains both the FBI and the DOJ scheme. Expose it, remove it, and the entire ‘muh Russia conspiracy’ collapses under the weight of sunlight…

This is critical and important because the specific use of the Steele Dossier underpins the BIG UGLY and exposes the entire top-tier apparatus of the FBI Counterintelligence Division (Peter Strzok, Bill Priestap, James Baker, Andrew McCabe) and the DOJ National Security Division (John Carlin, Stuart Evans, Mary McCord and Sally Yates), as well as DOJ Bruce Ohr and FBI lawyer Lisa Page directly to “conspiracy” charges.

The 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation was surveillance on the Trump Campaign and was thinly disguised under the fraudulent auspices of a FISA warrant, sold as a defense of U.S. democracy from Russia, which permitted the wiretaps and surveillance etc.

IF this is confirmed this whole thing just leveled up. It would constitute proof that insiders paid for, and knowingly used a fraudulent document to justify illegal surveillance on the opposition political campaign and the subsequent release of illegally obtained material to the DNC and to the public through complicit media organs. I am reminded of the glee with which the Dems greeted the prison sentences meted out over Watergate. The wheels of justice are slow, but they grind exceeding fine.

McStain is in the middle of this. Lindsey is McStain’s BFF. Are the rats starting to jump off the ship?

Yup, that was my thought, too.

I watched the Lindsey Graham interview twice.

The headline on this post is very misleading.

Graham stated that he was “very disturbed” by what was written in the Dossier and how the Dossier was used.

Graham said nothing more specific than that.

Graham also said a special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate the Dossier.

In the first half of the interview, Graham clearly implies that Trump supports a DACA Amnesty in exchange for a border Wall and an end to chain migration.

Graham also states that 80% of Americans support a DACA Amnesty.

Graham made it clear that it was how the dossier was used, not the dossier itself, that should result in appointing a Special Prosecutor.
He was obviously NOT happy with what he’d found out about the FBI investigation.

Hey Demonrats !

You want Russian “election interference” ?

How about Clinton-supporting Swamp / Deep State FBI elements taking FSB disinformation about a Presidential candidate, and using it to fraudulently obtain surveillance warrants.

Which they then try to misuse via illegal unmasking to obtain wiretap info against their political opponents.

Then the Swamp / Deep State try to smear their political opponents for “collaborating” with Russia !

But, like always happens “The wicked are caught by their own snares”.

The Hand of Providence strikes again !

MAGA !

In the context of speaking about how he was disturbed with what was done with the dossier, he spoke of the requirement to disclose to a court knowledge of things like who paid for evidence brought before the court... which court could possibly have been presented the dossier as evidence?

This will unravel in the weeks ahead but I believe 'heavily implied' is the closest Graham can come to an outright admission at this point. He is a lawyer after all...

I bet Linda found out Holder, Lynch and Bambi have been recording his Skype calls to his lover.

Graham saying something against McCain's interests? That's more shocking than Teller suddenly shouting "Save Me! Save Me!" as Penn drags him off the stage.

Title: BREAKING: Senator Lindsey Graham Just Confirmed The Steele Dossier Was Used For 2016 FISA Warrant…

Graham said nothing about the Dossier being used for the 2016 FISA Warrant.

Dozens of people have been suggesting that for months, but no one, including Graham, has ever confirmed it.

It surely does! God covertly supplied us with a strong law and order President just as he was most needed, his opponents are all but dazzled and blinded to that fact by all the superfluous flash bangs our great President Trump is constantly firing in his wake.

Exactly... he stated that it is the requirement to disclose to the court such things as who paid for a document, immediately after stating his angst regarding how the dossier was used by the FBI... and called for a SC to investigate. So, the friendly spin on this is that he is concerned the DOJ may have known the dossier was bogus and failed to disclose that to the FISA court, and the likely scenario is that he went as far as he legally could without actually stating publicly that the dossier was used to justify the FISA warrant. Only other possibility is that the dossier was presented as evidence to an as yet unrevealed court unrelated to FISA... not even sure what that would be.

I have issues with Graham’s ‘revealing’ stuff....he’s mcCain’s man so I never trust the guy. He likes to leak things that don’t always prove so.

What is your interpretation of his statements regarding documents presented to a court and disclosure requirements? 4:50-5:30 on the video.
