The Dossier

[OKTexas]

This isn't the first time the court has gone after the FBI for abusing the FISA process.

No one disputes that the FISA courts have been abused. Glad you're finally onboard to reform it. Liberals have been there for almost two decades.

BUT...that abuse was NOT the reason the FISA warrant was issued. The warrant would have been issued regardless according to the IG because of OTHER evidence

And newslfash..this was a warrant on Carter friggin Page...not Trump.

Page at that time was NOT working for or in contact with thew Trump organization

Wow, the IG said there were many glaring misrepresentations in the first approved warrant. Everything about the warrants has been laid out in this thread and yet you keep spewing your commie talking points. That just proves you're a fucking hack, not interested in a discussion. So run along commie, you're dismissed.

[Zorro!]

Are you calling McCabe and the DOJ IG liars? McCabe testified that without the dossier there would have been no warrant, in fact the first one they applied for, without the dossier, was refused. The DOJ IG concluded the same. So take you propaganda and shove it.

You are correct. Their collusion hoax to justify spying on the Trump campaign failed when the FISA Court denied the warrant. Then the resubmitted using lies out of the Hillary Purchased Dossier, and then the spy warrant was approved, with 3 - 90 day renewals, all based on the same pack of lies provided the Court by the corrupt DOJ and FBI.

The FISA warrants were obtained AFTER Page left the Trump campaign. There is nothing corrupt about the FBI and DOJ. It is Trump who is corrupt.

And the warrant allowed them to look at his emails and other communications before, during and after his involvement in the campaign. Plus it allowed them to look at anyone he was communicating with....

And anyone THEY communicated with. One warrant can throw a blanket over as many as 2500 people.

25,000, not 2500.

You are correct! Thank you.

SHARYL ATTKISSON, FULL MEASURE: So how could these little-known abuses factor into the Trump investigation? At the same time the NSA and FBI Director James Comey’s agency were documented as having committed surveillance abuses FBI agents were secretly spying on numerous Trump associates using spy tools meant to go after foreign terrorists and spies.

Through a single warrant, government agents can capture phone calls, texts, emails and bank records from people “two hops" away. That means all of the suspected spy’s direct contacts— “one hop” —and everybody who contacts those people or even visits their Facebook pages or websites—two hops.

In this way, one analysis found intel agencies can use one legal wiretap to access to 25,000 people’s phones. Consider at least a half dozen Trump officials were caught in the FBI surveillance dragnet, according to news reports: campaign chair Manafort, multiple “transition officials” including Lt. General Michael Flynn and Jared Kushner, and adviser Carter Page— who was wiretapped over and over though never charged with anything.​
