In Going After Carter Page, Did the FBI and DOJ Abuse the FISA Process?
National Review via Yahoo ^ | 4/26/19 | Eric Felten

Posted on 04/28/2019 6:05:25 PM PDT by Libloather

Department of Justice inspector general Michael Horowitz announced in March 2018 that his office was reviewing the DOJ’s and FBI’s “compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person.” In other words, he was asking whether the agencies abused their power in getting warrants to surveil (by then, former) Trump-campaign foreign-policy adviser Carter Page.

More than a year later, we still don’t know much about the course of the IG’s investigation. But that may finally be changing.

Horowitz has one of the best-caulked tubs in town: His team doesn’t leak. But that’s not the only reason info on the Horowitz investigation has been so hard to come by. In addition, his job doesn’t entail bringing revealing indictments along the way.

No such intermediate actions have been taken by IG Horowitz, which has left us in the dark about what sort of report he is preparing.

Lock 'em all up.

The FBI asked for access to the pertinent servers at the DNC. There was so much dirt on them that they refused.The Dems continue to lie, saying they were hackked by Russia when in fact there is no proof whatsoever.

We are talking about sedition.

Obama,Rice, Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Steele and John McCain's previous Senatorial staff need to be investigated on how they handled the dossier.

The institutions involved that need investigating are the CIA, FBI, DOJ, MI-6, the Senate, and Fusion GPS.

Obama got MI-6 to do dirty work the CIA could not, and Steele was a cut out, appearing to be acting on his own. Not so.

Obama is ultimately responsible for attempting a coup against a duly elected President of the United States. Obama should be indicted along with Hillary Clinton.

The American people are infuriated about these traitors. They betrayed America, and betrayed the Constitution, and tried to destroy our government. Sedition, pure and simple. Obama had MI-6 do what our CIA could not. Think about it, Obama got the U.K.'s MI-6 to use Christopher Steele as a cut out, and he acted "independently" ostensibly as a "retired agent," writing the dossier on MI-6 Stationary, using an internationally accepted intel briefing format, to initiate a coup on a duly elected President of the United States? THATS AN ACT OF WAR perpetrated by the U.K., by any definition available at international law.

And they have to pay.

Why?

Because it cannot be allowed to happen again. Ever.

I have underlined the pertinent portion of the Statute:

************************************

18 U.S. Code § 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government Obama had MI-6 do what our CIA could not.

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government;

Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, § 2, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 87–486, June 19, 1962, 76 Stat. 103; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

Obama promised to fundamentally transform America and did his best to do so while President. Trump is trying to return America to the kind of country it is supposed to be under the Constitution. That’s why Obama and his cohorts are so determined to stop Trump, whatever it takes.

If Horowitz indicts all of them you can be that a Kimm Foxx wannabee will dismiss all charges.

Agreed. I’d say PDJT will be remembered in our history as one of the greatest presidents we have ever elected to the office.

Obama’s promised transforming America was to follow the European mode of Germany, France and Britain.....thus lining up with the Globalist Agenda.

Why lock them up when they are guilty of capital crimes? The gallows is more appropriate.

Yep, they are so infuriated that they turned the House of Representatives over to the Democrats so they could spend the next two years harassing the president and obstructing justice.

Why does anyone in this forum have faith in the "average voter" in this country? Seriously, why should I believe that 45%+ of voters in this country are gonna have a "come to Jesus" moment and miraculously realize they have spent generations voting for crooks and traitors?

I understand that but it just seems odd for the “intellectuals” inside the Beltway to phrase it that way.

There has to be sign offs along the way for those warrants. People review the hell out of those in the top positions. They knew exactly what they were doing stretching the law to fit their agenda. You don’t bend the law. It is ridged and it is precise.

Especially if Carter Page was working with the FBI-NSA-CIA-DoJ.

It’s not entirely clear yet if he was or wasn’t.

I hesitate to say it but I think we should all brace ourselves for what that may come to. There is a lot of power and powerful people at stake there.
