Attorney General William Barr has assembled a "team" to investigate the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign, an administration official briefed on the situation told Fox News on Tuesday.
Republicans repeatedly have called for a thorough investigation of the FBI's intelligence practices and the basis of the since-discredited Russian collusion narrative following the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe -- and they now appear to have assurances that a comprehensive review was underway.
The FBI's July 2016 counterintelligence investigation was formally opened by anti-Trump former FBI agent Peter Strzok. Ex-FBI counsel Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was romantically involved, revealed during a closed-door congressional interview that the FBI knew so little about whether allegations against the Trump campaign were true or not true at the time they opened the probe, noting they had just a paucity of evidence because we are just starting down the path of vetting the allegations.
Page later said that it was entirely common that the FBI would begin a counterintelligence investigation with just a small amount of evidence.
Former FBI Director James Comey would testify later that when agency initiated its counterintelligence probe into possible collusion between Trump campaign officials and the Russian government, investigators "didn't know whether we had anything" and that "in fact, when I was fired as director [in May 2017], I still didn't know whether there was anything to it."

In the end, it will read like this....
“Mistakes were made, solutions and safeguards have been discussed and put in place, we’ll do better next time...”
Those of us in law enforcement call it a clue. We are not big believers in coincidences when there re no other logical explanations.
You now impersonating a licensed mental health professional? Nothing would surprise me. You dont live in a reality that the rest of us inhabit but rather your own immature, make-believe world where the President sends some of his true blue supporters coded messages written by anonymous people who get to make a little money on the side scamming stupid and gullible people. My guess is that you are one of these scammers. No mature adult would otherwise spend so much time and energy on a lark unless you are profiting. You know like, Hayes and trazybeans.
Its like I have told you before, people may laugh at your childish teenage antics, but they dont really take you seriously. You are just a diversion. An escape from work down at the manure plant. The Oracle of Unicorns you might say.
All things about you considered I definitely would be careful calling out other better educated aNd smarter people.
Careful or the coward will threaten you by PM...
Ahahahaha. Good one, puker.
Don't you claim to be some kind of derp state prosecutor from DC?
Seems to me that you're part of the problem, if that's even true. Until then you're just another anonymous internet troll. And besides, your so-called "intelligence" doesn't shine through in your feeble postings.
My left nut is smarter than you.
"Those of us in law enforcemt " Ahahahahaha. You're killin' me Smalls.
Somebody save me.
HEY!
I ain't worked at the manure plant sine the late 90's.
Get it right.
‘Roosters dont really make the sun rise.’
(admiration!)
Uh-oh, DJT just said “What they did was TREASON”....
:)
But but but that’s just a distraction “I’m beginning to think Trump is in on it” LOL
LOL
“We are not big believers in coincidences when there re no other logical explanations.”
Except that post hoc propter hoc reasoning isn’t logic. It’s a logical error, a very popular one. When you dismiss Cate’s line of reasoning because you think it is too similar to Q stuff, you’re not engaged in logic you’re guessing and ignoring countervailing evidence.
One large clue going against your case is that Cates has never once referenced Q. He developed his thesis about Spygate using publicly available information that he refers to in his writing. Never has it been the magical entrail readings from “Q droppings”.
Don't mess with DJT or you will pay the price.
I strongly agree with both of those statements!
It makes me chuckle when they stamp their feet and demand to see the full report. Bring it!
