Why the surveillance memo matters

Will special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian collusion impact November’s elections?

 
This quote sums it up well
“It is disturbing that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance courts rubber-stamped the Carter Page spy warrants and held not one hearing on these extraordinary requests to spy on the Trump team,”
 
July and August 2016 one day may be remembered as the infamous summer of Steele and Ohr.

That’s because new evidence shows former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr’s efforts to influence the FBI’s Russia probe — on behalf of Donald Trump-despising British spy Christopher Steele — started much earlier than previously described.

The protestors just throw out falsehoods - they think they can catch one or two that are not knowledgeable about current affairs - just what they can get for “free”.
 
What a plot! The Obama/Clinton cabal really outdid themselves on this stupid, criminal attempt to keep President Trump from being President Trump. The “insurance policy” is still in question and the anonymous NY Times author made the remark to get rid of our President “one way or another”. IMO that is a threat!

The real fault lies in those leaders who allowed a secret investigation to mushroom into a media maelstrom driven by official leaks that created a story that far exceeded the evidence, and then used that false narrative to set a special prosecutor flying downhill ahead of his skis.

No matter where Mueller ends his probe, it is now clear the actions that preceded his appointment turned justice on its head, imposing the presumption of guilt upon a probe whose own originators had reason to doubt the strength of their evidence.

President Trump on Monday ordered the declassification of several key documents related to the FBI’s probe of Russian actions during the 2016 presidential election, including 21 pages of an application for a renewed surveillance warrant against former campaign aide Carter Page, and text messages from disgraced FBI figures Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump had ordered the documents released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Justice Department “[a]t the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency.”

The documents to be declassified also include all FBI reports on interviews with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr and all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all other applications to surveil Carter Page.

Trump also ordered the Justice Department to release text messages from a number of the key players in the Russia investigation “without redaction” – including Ohr, Strzok, Lisa Page, former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

For most of the past two years, the U.S. intelligence community has presented a united front on all the key conclusions in the January 2017 report that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election.

Now, congressional investigators have unearthed text messages and emails showing the FBI feared there were some in the intelligence community with “partisan axes to grind” and suggesting there could be no singular conclusion that Moscow wanted to help elect Donald Trump.



FBI Memos Raise Deep Questions About Russia/Trump Intel Assessment

 
Republicans to meet with Rod Rosenstein and House Intelligence Committee votes to release transcripts of Russia probe interviews.

 
Former top FBI lawyer James Baker gave “explosive” closed-door testimony on Wednesday detailing for congressional investigators how the Russia probe was handled in an “abnormal fashion” reflecting “political bias,” according to two Republican lawmakers present for the deposition.

“Some of the things that were shared were explosive in nature,” Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., told Fox News. “This witness confirmed that things were done in an abnormal fashion. That’s extremely troubling.”

“The wrap-up smear”.

This is what the Russian “collusion” spoof has been.

This was not Nancy’s context (the context was Republicans and Democrats and political campaigns or races), but Nancy describes well (in my opinion anyway), what the whole Russian collusion narritive was . . . right down to the “writing” of the news story.

From back in 2017 . . .

Don’t tell former FBI general counsel James Baker that those now-infamous discussions about secretly recording President Trump and using the tapes to remove him from office were a joke.

He apparently doesn’t believe it. And he held quite the vantage point — he was on the inside of the bureau’s leadership in May 2017, when the discussions occurred.

Baker told Congress last week that his boss — then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe — was dead serious about the idea of surreptitiously recording the 45th president and using the evidence to make the case that Trump should be removed from office, according to my sources.

You would think if the “Russians” were so influential in the 2016 election, that it would have showed up in the pre-election polls too.

But it didn’t.

The pre-election polls all favored Hillary, even though they knew she was a loser.

We’ve all seen the talking heads analysis pre-election.

We’ve all seen the results of election night.

We’ve all seen post-election encapsulations of both.

Like this . . .


And this . . .

The whole Trump-Russian collusion narrative seems phony to me.

(Gorka suggests by implication, that the Trump-Russian collusion spoof is actually Democrat projection)

Gorka (in the past-as he is no longer in the Trump administration) asked about the DNC sending its operatives to the Ukranian embassy (initiating this no less).


And I almost never hear anything about that.

Again. I think if then-candidate Donald Trump had so much Russian influence, we SHOULD have seen some of that “influence” in the polls.
