Thanks for your kind words.

I doubt that a random email from a nobody is going to get Hannity’s attention, but if anyone wants to try, be my guest.

OTOH, various on air personalities are known to read FR now and then, so if any of them have read this, feel free to use it. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not about who gets credit. It’s about getting the job done and draining the swamp. Every little bit helps. Maybe some of these questions, if they are raised on tv/radio, might be interesting enough to make people curious and start uncovering the answers.

It has been my hope ever since last year (March?) when Nunes first made the existence of this known, that it would ultimately lead to prosecution of many crimes. F&F and Mandalay Bay were two that I specifically had in mind.

I also think there needs to be a lot of investigation and swamp draining around Uranium One, Clinton Foundation, a lot of suspicious deaths (Seth Rich in particular), Pizzagate, and 0vomit’s BC/citizenship.

I find it hard to believe that the dossier/FISA warrant is the only bad thing at the DOJ/FBI/Clinton campaign.

I did not know that.

Very interesting and important point.

Agree. I was picturing the emergency meeting that must have been going on after the election. On election night I was also picturing it, but now my picture is much different. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall in that room.

And I’m afraid that Mr. Recusal left the scene of the crime and never looked back.

At this point, now that I’ve read your comment, it makes me wonder if the judge would not have approved a tap on Trump because there was no reason, or because his hands would be dirty and he wouldn’t have any cover. It is entirely possible that the judge only required something to give himself “plausible deniability”. I.e., so he can point to the application and say it looked legit to him, that he was a victim of the lying application, not complicit in the wiretapping.

It would be interesting to know the real story there.

My understanding (and someone correct me if I’m wrong) is that the warrant is just for John Doe, but if John Doe is on the phone with Trump all day, that call is monitored and they know what Trump said, too. That’s what all the talk about “unmasking” is.

In the records of the wiretap, Trump’s name (since he is a US citizen and presumed innocent) is known, but redacted. But it looks like the 0vomit WH went nuts with unmasking. I assume that they were trying to find any conversations that Trump or other significant people close to him were involved in, in hopes of gathering some dirt they would be able to use against him.

Page was a target because he went to Russia. Period. He was targeted AS A SPY under Title I. That allowed them to target EVERYBODY ELSE who had any contact with him. That included Trump, Manafort, Conway, and anyone who had any contact with any of them. By essentially accusing Page of being a spy, they could wiretap the whole lot of them.

Exactly right. The Carter page warrant allowed wiretapping the entire Trump Tower and Trump campaign. Just like Trump claimed they did.

Now take it one step further, and realize that every US citizen, except Carter Page caught on an intercept, was supposed to be "masked", i.e. their identity was to be hidden.

Next think back to the big "unmasking" issue. In the final months of the Odunghole administration, there were way too many requests, always fulfilled, for "unmasking" of US citizens. This was how the RATs were watching Trump. And, even without the unmasking, they knew exactly what was said, even if they had to wait to find out who said it.

The memo is about 10-15 percent of what’s coming out. Perhaps later revelations will answer your questions.

The large visible problems at the top have to be fought.

They are a contagion.

IMHO, there has been a degeneration in the Masonic community. They’ve driven out all Christianity.
Today the lessor incumbents have been promoted and advanced without goodwill towards their fellow man, but only amongst themselves. They have gotten away with so much over the past 12 years that they believe their past methods of worldly approbation are acceptable. They are now insatiable. They want more from sources which aren’t sustainable, now they are arrogantly spoiled. It isn’t simply in the socialist and liberal power structures. It’s throughout the military industrial complex. They now talk about how they don’t need Constitutional authority. They are degenerating in middle management.

I recall hearing that some of the unmasking seemed curious or unnecessary because, from context, anyone would be able to tell that American 1 was Trump. So why unmask if the consumer of the info could easily tell who American 1 is.

But it seems plausible, even likely, that unmasking was taking place so that a nice, searchable database could be made of Trump conversations by date, subject matter, etc.

3. For the FBI, Comey signed 3 applications, McCabe signed one. For the DOJ Yates, Boente, and Rosenstein each signed one or more. Why were different people the signers? Is that typical?

My bet is that there was a concerted effort to spread the responsibility/blame a bit so that more people would be in the position they are now — having to defend vigorously their witch hunt.

As one might ask... is this just the tip of the Obama corruption iceberg?

What is sickening is reading this memo about our FBI knowing that immediately after Ferguson riots the DOJ went out to investigate select local police in an attempt to “ correct” their failings. This is not America.

The FBI was corrupt and answerable to no one, long before Obama came around.

See the "premier security professionals" in the TSA. FBI chooses who works for it.

Too involved for here right now, but I would raise the argument that they went after Page solely because they KNEW no judge would approve one on Trump or anyone else higher than Page on Team Trump
