AG Barr: “Very Unusual Situation to Have Opposition Research” – to Conduct Counter Intelligence

[hadit]

What part of the steel work of fiction has been verified?

Comey testified before Congress that parts of the dossier was verified.

Which parts?

And when? Verified after the fact doesn't mean anything.

you imply that was the only information provided for the application.

Not enough, apparently.

Hard to believe they broke the law by knowingly putting fake information in the application just for giggles.

Break it down for us item by item, dope.
Show us what was fake.

Get more news sources. Huffpo isn't doing it for you.

The Steele Dossier isn't even verified by Steele, much less the FBI.

Therefore using it for a FISA warrant is illegal

Grow up and get back to me

Unverified doesn't mean it's "fake", dope.

But when you swear it's verified and true when it's not, there's a problem. Of course, the feeble minded (that's haters for you government school inmates) want to ignore that part of it, but I am convinced Barr's investigation will not.

It pretty much does.

Sure. That's why there were three renewals. Because it was "fake".


Dope

And each time, someone had to sign their name that the info was verified and known to be true. If in fact it was not at the time, there's a problem.

All renewals were illegal, moron.

1. At the top of the FISA Court Warrant application it states the information contained within is / has been VERIFIED, proven factual... Use of the KNOWN unverified and false information was an immediate undeniable crime!

2. Bruce Ohr informed Rosenstein, Clapper, Brennan, and Comey that Steele was a partisan, biased, Trump-hating foreign spy who wanted the information released before the election to hurt Trump .... AND told them the Dossier had not been verified, that Steele admitted he never verified any if it (neither did the FBI), and parts of the Dossier had already been debunked.

They ignored Ohr and chose to knowingly intentionally use the Dossier anyway....

'Willful Crime, Intent Demonstrated...'

BUSTED...

The Dossier was democrat candidate purchase political opponent opposition research bought by Hillary Clinton from a Trump-Hating foreign spy who worked with Russians who authored parts of the document...Obama's DOJ, NIA, CIA, & FBI CHOSE to use the information they had already been told was bogus from a biased unreliable foreign spy...

Tell us again how 'unverified' doesn't mean 'fake' / 'false' and how no FISA Court Abuses / crimes were committed....

bwuhahahaha

 

[MAGAman]

Dope

Dope?

I guess you didn't know judges don't investigate the veracity of the government's evidence, did you Einstien?

The warrants we're renewed multiple times because government Intel agencies gave fraudulent evidence to the Judges multiple times.

You should never try to be a smartass while being a dumbass.

 

[danielpalos]

You are a liar who constantly lies, posting opinionated BS, again like this, as if it were fact, which it is NOT.

1. 'Raw' UNSUBSTANTIATED 'Intel' is NOT sufficient to request / acquire a FISA Court warrant. Rosenstein testified that it must be substantiated, that anyone who signs the document is attesting to the best of their knowledge that the information contained in the request is accurate / verified and that all information pertaining to the request / case must be provided.
-- The Dossier was NOT 'Intel' It was political opposition research purchased by by the intended target / target's team rival political opponent.
-- The Dossier was unsubstantiated Russian-authored propaganda...according to STEELE.
-- 'To the best of their knowledge': Evidence proves the FBI and Rosenstein were thoroughly briefed by Ohr BEFORE they chose to illegally use the Dossier that 1) Steele was a biased, Trump-hating foreign spy whose word could not be trusted and 2) the information in the Dossier was 'un-reliable', Unsubstantiated, and some was proven completely false.

2. 'Known Russian Spy Ring': You just can't help making it clear to everyone that you are a shameless liar who chooses to spew personal hate / opinion as reality.... 'NO COLLUSION', nut job....

You are so pathetic....

You're in no position to call other posters "pathetic", you lying piece of Russian shit.

1. The portions of the Steele Dossier used in the FISA Warrant application had been VERIFIED before they were used. Intel is which comes to light during opposition research is just as valid as information obtained by other means, IF the information used is true and has been verified.

2. The Dossier was unverified when Steele gave it to the FBI. That was in 2016. Since then EVERY MAJOR ITEM IN THE DOSSIER HAS BEEN VERIFIED EXCEPT THE PEE TAPE.

Most of your post is just lies, but there is the odd half truth in there.

You are the most vile piece of lying shit on this board. There is nothing you won't twist and turn to try to promote Trump and Putin.

Nothing in the Steele dossier has been verified, you lying piece of shit. Everything you post is a lie or it's wrong.

You are the lying piece of shit. Everything you post is what is given to you by Trump to say.,

What part of the steel work of fiction has been verified?

Comey testified before Congress that parts of the dossier was verified.

The dossier itself was not intended to be published and consists largely of rumors and gossip — the starting point for investigative reporters and law enforcement officials, not the end point.--https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...t-mueller-report-said/?utm_term=.ce752dc134db

At the top of the FISA Warrant application it states all the information provided has been VERIFIED, confirmed truthful / factual.

The Dossier was none of that, Steele admitted he never attempted to verify it, evidence shows the FBI never tried to verify it, evidence shows a DOJ member interviewing Steele regarding the Dossier reported she picked up almost immediately that Steele lied to her about the contents in the Dossier, and DOJ Rep Ohr testified that he informed Rosenstein, Clapper, Brennan, and Comey that both Steele and the Dossier were unreliable and un-useable BEFORE THEY MADE THE CONSCIOUS DECISION TO INTENTIONALLY ILLEGALLY USED THE DOSSIER CONTENTS IN THE FISA COURT WARRANT APPLICATION AND TO COMMIT PERJURY BEFORE CONGRESS.

They made up stuff and had it improperly circulated through the courts in order to hurt Trump
This is very easy unless you have on emotional blinders.

When you ask for a FISA warrant to investigate (spy) on any American citizen, let alone a presidential nominee and/or his campaign, you gotta have solid evidence that has been verified. Yet the DOJ/FBI had NOTHING but the Steele Dossier and news reports that were based on that dossier, and that is not supposed to be the way our gov't agencies work. To this day, nothing substantial in that dossier has been verified, otherwise you can be sure the Mueller investigation would have said so in the report; for Christ sakes, they used Russian freakin' agents as sources! So, who really collaborated with the Russians? We now know it wasn't Trump or his campaign, but it's beginning to look like the DNC and the Clinton campaign might have, indirectly.

the FISA request on Carter Page was over 400 pages, the dossier was 39 pages, 3 pages were about Carter Page.

WHAT do you think the other 397 pages of evidence of probable cause was about...?

AND why the hell hasn't president trump had the unredacted FISA request declassified and released if it was only evidence from the dossier?

me thinks ya'll are being played fools.... if the Page FISA request application, could have helped Pres Trump prove he was right about only using an unverified dossier for it, pres trump MOST CERTAINLY would have RELEASED IT.

Trump is not going to release the declassified FISA until the OIG investigation report and Huber's investigation is over.

But this has been going on with Nunes making the claim for nearly 2 years, what's the hold up? What is taking OIG so long???

Then we shouldn't be arguing over it UNTILL we have all facts.... Nunes, Jordan, and all the other repubs should shut their traps and stop promoting unfounded conspiracies.....

Actually, they have been right about everything. Fake News and the anti-Trumpers were humping lies the whole time. Maybe the Left should have shut their traps and stop promoting unfounded conspiracies.....

The FBI’s Bad Intelligence: The bureau relied on a suspected Russian agent for its 2016 wiretaps.

It was worse than we thought. We’re referring to the FBI’s 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia, as new documents this week reveal.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham on Thursday released newly declassified FBI documents that contain this stunner: The bureau relied on a suspected Russian agent for the information it used to obtain a secret surveillance warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page.

So they used disinformation from a Russian Agent to get a spy warrant on a former Naval Officer who was a source FOR the CIA.

Four years into accusations about Russia-Trump collusion, we finally learn that Russia’s main conduit for disinformation may have been America’s FBI. Vladimir Putin must be howling with laughter.

While the Democrats and NeverTrumpers were accusing Trump of being Putin’s tool, actually it was them that was Putin’s tool all along. Plus:

Here’s the kicker: The FBI identified Mr. Danchenko as Mr. Steele’s source in December 2016, when senior bureau officials also became aware of the prior FBI investigation.

The prior FBI investigation was to determine if Danchenko was working for the Russians as as a spy. The investigation was never completed because he left the country and returned to Russia.

The FBI’s realization that it was being fed potential Russian disinformation should have put an immediate halt to the Page probe, if not the entire collusion investigation.
instead and incredibly, the FBI concealed this information to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in all three of its subsequent renewal applications against Mr. Page.

For all the talk about how the rot at the FBI is only at the top, there was not ONE whistleblower or a single resignation by anyone, even though many knew about these gross rights violations.

Thursday, the Justice Department disclosed more FBI text messages and notes in the tainted Michael Flynn case. These also reflect horribly on the James Comey-era FBI. Agents (names redacted) express dismay and disdain in the messages for the broader collusion investigation (code-named Crossfire Hurricane) and for the probe of Mr. Flynn.

But, not one whistleblower and not one resignation.

In October 2016 internal messages, agents refer to the “Crossfire Road Show” and one says: “I’m tell [sic] man, if this thing ever gets FOIA’d, there are going to be some tough questions asked.” Another responds that the problem is “a scope way outside the boundaries of logic,” to which an agent says one team member is engaged in “rabbit holes and conspiracy theories.”

But, not one whistleblower and not one resignation.

Agents questioned the use of national security letters (subpoenas that don’t require judicial permission) to get Mr. Flynn’s financial records. One series of messages is from Jan. 5, 2017, the same day Mr. Comey briefed Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Susan Rice on the Flynn/Trump investigations.

But, not one whistleblower and not one resignation.

“[W]hat’s the word on how [Obama’s] briefing went?” asks one agent. “Don’t know, but people here are scrambling for info to support certain things and it’s a mad house.” A few days later, an FBI employee reports that they “all went and purchased professional liability insurance” over concerns about DOJ/FBI leaks and that “the new AG might have some questions.”

But, not one whistleblower and not one resignation, instead, they bought insurance against wrong-doing!

Justice also released a recent government interview of William Barnett, an FBI official who worked on the Crossfire investigation, and later for Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Mr. Barnett said the Flynn investigation was so “problematic” that in February 2017 he asked to be removed, for fear it would “result in an IG investigation.” He said he only reluctantly joined the Mueller team, hoping to protect against “group think.” He found a “get TRUMP” attitude among its members, and that one Mueller prosecutor in particular was “obsessed with Flynn” and “had an agenda.”

But, not one whistleblower and not one resignation.

The process, he said, was upside down, with investigators treated as a “speed bump” by attorneys who “wanted to be part of something ‘big.’” These “all stars” called the shots, and “there was a lack of letting the evidence lead the investigation.” He closed the interview by saying he believed the Mueller team brought a charge that Mr. Flynn lied to the FBI as another “means to ‘get TRUMP.’”

But, not one whistleblower and not one resignation.

All of this underscores that the great scandal of 2016 wasn’t Russian collusion. It was the unleashing of America’s premier law enforcement agency against a presidential campaign based on Russian disinformation midwifed and financed by the Clinton campaign. The public is finally getting the truth about the FBI’s malfeasance, and Messrs. Barr and Durham deserve credit for exposing it.

So it’s exposed. Now who will be punished for an abuse of federal authority designed to overturn a national election? And with the systemic rot in the FBI it needs to be abolished with it's essential functions rolled into the US Marshalls Service.

Weaponizing the FBI against Americans, the President, the US Electorate to try to overturn an election cannot be allowed to happen again.

This is a failed coup by entrenched Federal Agencies that seek to impose an Oligarchy on the American People, the folks that pay their pay checks.
