[Full Title] Federal Judge Catches Robert Mueller Using Preexisting FISA Title-1 Warrant Against Paul Manafort Instead of Title 3 Authority…

Today U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III appears to have caught on to an explosive issue CTH noted yesterday. In building the case against Paul Manafort, special counsel Robert Mueller’s team used the pre-existing FISA Title-1 warrant that was originally applied to U.S. person Carter Page and the Trump campaign.

Under normal criminal investigation any search warrant or surveillance warrant would normally proceed through U.S. courts, under Title-3, where the Mueller team would need to show probable cause for a warrant. However, by using the Title-1 warrant from the FBI counterintelligence operation, as extended by AAG Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller was able to use far more intrusive and unchecked searches and seizures for his criminal probe.

The media, and broad media-consumption public, are currently unaware the Mueller probe was simply a continuance of the 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation. Most people think the special counsel investigation is a separate issue. It’s not.

However, in addition to a scathing rebuke of the underlying prosecutorial premise, ie. Mueller trying to keep the originating structure hidden, Judge Ellis demanded today that Mueller unredact the August 2, 2017, instructions from AAG Rosenstein

Makes sense: Without the July 2017 (Carter Page - even though he already left Trump campaign months ago) FISA extension, Robert Mueller would not have predicate investigative authority to reach into the accounts of his targets and extract their personal communication. Mueller would have needed to go to court for a search warrant; he is conducting a criminal investigation; he would have needed probable cause. However, by applying the 2016 extended FISA Title-1 warrant, the Clinton-Mueller special counsel used the previous legal authority to extract all the information they wanted to review.

Who runs the DOJ?

Who sips Wine with Rosenstein

What Department of Government has no interest in the Personal devices used to evade Dept. Safeguards while plotting against the President of the United States?

In short, this is part of the coup going on against the duly elected government from within and outside.

I wish to Hell the political commentators would use that term and start calling it what it is.

Looks like Mueller needs to tuck his tail and resign forthwith.

I knew this day would come when the tricks would start being unearthed (and this is just the first one). And that’s why I wanted Mueller right where he was until today. Now he’s caught in his own trap. Undeniably. Inextricably. Deliciously. And I’m going to have some chocolate to celebrate!

When it comes to keeping Americans safe from terrorism, there's a "strict wall" (the "Gorelick wall") between the intelligence world and the criminal law world.

When it comes to harassing and weakening Republican Presidents, the wall comes tumbling down, and the intelligence world and the criminal law world work together, and the MSM-Democrats cheer.

Wasn’t this FISA warrant obtained through the false pretense of the Steele dossier?

So that is why they want to keep the Rosenstein memo redacted? Does that apply to the Cohen case too?

Under normal criminal investigation any search warrant or surveillance warrant would normally proceed through U.S. courts, under Title-3, where the Mueller team would need to show probable cause for a warrant. However, by using the Title-1 warrant from the FBI counterintelligence operation, as extended by AAG Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller was able to use far more intrusive and unchecked searches and seizures for his criminal probe.

The Judge just unearthed new grounds for Manafort to sue.

Special Counsel Mueller and team is basically an extension of the illegal 2016 spy ring on Trump and his campaign which is now in the White House. Hillary paid for a warrant on her opposition and that warrant still is being applied to this very day in various ways...

the Mueller investigation needs to end before Monday.

not another week should pass with this obscene bunch of coup plotters still in place.

President Trump and others can never regain the lost time wasted on this travesty, but if it means the Deep State will never try this on again, then perhaps it was worth it.

Why don't we know what the "insurance policy" is?

If the insurance policy is exposed then it might shut all these investigations down.

Oh I think it will take more than this to stop them. They are arrogant bullies and only respond to force. They are immune to shame, as they live in a narrative where they are trying to take down Hitler and anything is permisdible. They dont beleive their narrative deep down, but they dont feel deep down anymore. They are hollwed men now. God help them.
