[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 Muellers 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. Its 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

The first one, Contreras, was a BFF of Peter Strzok and recused after the Strzok/Page emails came out, but not before accepting Flynn's guilty plea.
His replacement, Judge Sullivan, has come down hard on Mueller, ordering Mueller to provide Flynn with all exculpatory documents regarding the FBI interview. Sullivan has a record of being very tough on prosecutorial misconduct.
This is not mentioned on CNN at least to my knowledge...
this is a huge story and should be sufficiently damaging to the coup plotters that they would be resigning en masse.
if the FakeNewsMSM were not in cahoots with them, they would have been out long ago.
it is so damaging to democracy what is going on. btw there are millions of Trump supporters outside of the US who are hoping the Deep State is brought to justice.
Haha, Apparently there are two Federal Judge T.S. Ellis IIIs. Pretty sure one of the many publications that vary in opinion as to which T.S. Ellis III is the actual judge in this particular case... is in error.
“Why don’t we know what the “insurance policy” is?
If the insurance policy is exposed then it might shut all these investigations down.”
That could be the very reason we don’t know what it it. Some very powerful people will be swinging at the end of this.

Thanks Bigtigermike.
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I pray you put a hedge of protection around Judge Ellis, that the enemy will not harm him, and prevent the truth from prevailing. Amen.
I hope he gets the Title-1/Title-3 issue as well.
What a burst bubble that would be.
If a different warrant was used against Flynn which one was it?
Aside - I don't remember that being reported. Do you?
If it was the same one the same issues arise, don't they?
Good point. I don’t know how they got the wiretap of Flynn either, but it’s clearly crucial, as you point out.
Now that the issue has come up, I bet Flynn’s lawyers will be on to it.
What a shame that these innocent people have to spend a fortune on lawyers.
Especially if all it takes in effect would be a single contempt citation against mueller to remove the legal fig leaf and precipitate rosenstein impeachment in congress...What then, I wonder, does the insurance policy come with an insurance policy? Or is judicial intimidation and extortion presumed to be included with the original insurance policy? How soon before it will be time to harvest the pvc garden? :(
Ellis said he would be the judge of that. LOL!
p
Reality check: is carter page under arrest yet, for anything?
(Mueller? Mueller?)
The IRS (aka Lois Lerner) and the FBI/DOJ (Comey, Rosenstien, McCabe, Mueller, et al) are undeniable proof of the importance of our 2nd Admendment.
We still have the Judge in the Flynn case tell the Mueller team to provide all Docs of evidence good (help) are bad (hurt)Flynn. One thing Flynn’s lawyers would not be aware of is the Comey testimony that FBI agents said that Flynn was not lying yet Mueller went ahead with charges. Still waiting on the out come of that. McCabe tried to get the agents to change their statement. The Mueller team thought they would come in and snow this judge. Seems he was a little smarter than they thought. Now that he called them lairs I would think they would not try anything funny are they could see a complete dismissal of all chargers. You can bet This case will be noted bu the judge in the Flynn case.
How long one wonders before the denunciations of Uncle Tom from pundits on the msm? And surely private threats of physical harm against his family would not be far behind... :(
Uh......that is not Judge Ellis who handled this case.
For one thing, Judge Ellis is Caucasian
Judge Ellis is not Black
You got the right picture of Judge Ellis, but the sketch is very misleading about the scene in the courtroom. In the first place, the counsel tables and lecturen are set back at least twenty five feet from the judges bench, with a table for the court reporter and another for the clerk in between, and the place is no where as brightly lit as shown. In fact, Judge Ellis courtroom is a bit dark and cavernous.
The Fourth Circuit is over that judge. Safe bet that Reichsführer Müeller has already drafted an appeal.
