A salacious and unverified dossier formed an essential part of the application to secure a warrant against a Trump campaign affiliate named Carter Page. This application failed to reveal that the dossier was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.

That's a pile of lies.

Dossier Not What 'Started All of This' - FactCheck.org

In an interview about the special counsel's report, Rep. John Ratcliffe said that what "started all of this" was "a fake, phony dossier." But a House Republican intelligence committee memo said it was information about a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser that sparked the FBI's...

Why Trump is wrong about Carter Page, the dossier and the FISA warrant

Mueller's Russia probe wasn't launched because of Carter Page, and the dossier compiled by an ex-spy was only part of the evidence cited to get a warrant.

Republican leaders are acknowledging that the FBI disclosed the political origins of a private dossier the bureau cited in an application to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, undermining a controversial GOP memo released Friday and fueling Democratic demands to declassify more information about the bureau’s actions.

Republicans concede key FBI 'footnote' in Carter Page warrant

Devin Nunes said Monday the FBI had disclosed political backing for a Trump-Russia dossier in October 2016, but a controversial GOP memo released last week did not mention it.

Not getting used to it is the goal. Not allowing his lawlessness, incompetence, choice of batshyte crazy cabinet nominees, to be normalized is the goal. The object is to keep reminding people trumpery is not normal. The cult-like devotion of The Following is not normal. Having a twice impeached, twice criminally indicted, serial sexual abuser with a record of failure get elected is not normal.

Trump officials to receive immediate clearances and easier FBI vetting​

Gee, why would Baby Donald need to hold off on FBI background checks until after Patel is running the show?

Why? Because the FBI is completely corrupt, that's why. It has to be decontaminated and cleansed of all democrat loyalists.

Fuck you.

During the first Trump presidency, multiple advisers faced delays and hurdles in obtaining top level clearances, including Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn and the controversial former Trump White House national security aide Sebastian Gorka.

Kushner, who played a number of roles in the first administration and was involved in drawing up a Middle East peace plan, received his clearance only after Trump personally intervened and ordered it, according to a memo written by then White House chief of staff John Kelly.

In Kushner’s case, officials in the White House personnel security office were reportedly divided about whether to grant him a top-secret clearance based on the results of his FBI background check.

In 2018, after the matter had dragged on for more than a year, the then White House counsel Don McGahn recommended to Trump that Kushner should not be granted a security clearance at that level. But Trump ordered Kelly to disregard that advice and grant it to Kushner anyway.

Trump allies adopt new strategy for nominees: Make the doubters pay​

And Vance over the last week was “super instrumental” in consolidating support among his Republican Senate colleagues behind Hegseth and getting Trump’s team to stay in the fight, said a person with knowledge of the transition process.

“(Vance) saw the game that was being played where these senators believed themselves to be more powerful than they are,” the person said. “There’s a widely understood belief that [Matt] Gaetz dropped out on his own — he knew there were going to be certain senators that were just not going to budge on him.”

I can't tell if you're being intentionally obtuse or your blind devotion prevents you from seeing the obvious. It's quaint how you characterize the ability of foreign nationals to funnel millions of dollars to trump's (a guy with a track record of criminality)

What the fk are you talking about media cuck? He just won with 77 million votes, why are you so bad at losing?

transition in secret as "someone other then tax payers pay for office space."

If you heard anything about it at all you've likely forgotten about the inauguration slush fund.

Since he hasn't signed the ethics pledge, and money can be given in secret, how are we to know if millions of dollars will go in to trump's PAC, or his pocket, once the "office space" is paid for?

Do you see how not signing the ethics pledge can be construed as purposefully avoiding accountability for a reason? Reasons that go beyond trying to escape the normal vetting process applied to nominees and appointees?

You believe your sources are honest because you like the taste of the bullshit they feed you.

Nevertheless, you're SO close to realizing the FBI has been protecting Democrats for years, and investigating Trump with no reason except he's a threat to Democrat power.

But you refuse to take that last step. What are you afraid of?

McCabe says Republicans ‘mischaracterized’ his testimony on Trump dossier​

A key portion of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s testimony to the House Intelligence Committee has served as the backbone for a controversial memo propped up by Republican lawmakers, but McCabe now tells CNN that House Republicans twisted his answers.

The highly controversial memo from Committee Chairman Devin Nunes claimed McCabe testified that “no surveillance warrant would have been sought” for a Trump campaign aide without a disputed opposition-research dossier on Trump and Russia. Not so says McCabe – the former No. 2 official at the FBI who signed one of the applications to surveil former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/andrew-mccabe-fired/index.html
“We started the investigations without the dossier. We were proceeding with the investigations before we ever received that information,” McCabe told CNN as part of a wide-ranging interview. “Was the dossier material important to the package? Of course, it was. As was every fact included in that package. Was it the majority of what was in the package? Absolutely not.”

I have disproven the two main tenets of your argument. One, that the dossier was the primary driver for requesting the FISA warrant against Page. Two, the FISA court was unaware of the nature of the dossier. Neither of those assertions are true.

My apologies for so severely mocking you because you believed these falsehoods. You certainly are not alone, as many people who only get their info only from conservative sources believe the same things.

Rather than attacking me for exposing you to the truth I would hope it might cause you to re-evaluate your unquestioning acceptance of info you get from your chosen media sources. This experience should tell you to do your own fact checking before accepting what you are told as the truth.

Elon Musk signals he’ll go beyond supporting Trump to serve as his political enforcer​

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A week after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, Elon Musk said his political action committee would “play a significant role in primaries.”

The following week, the billionaire responded to a report that he might fund challengers to GOP House members who don’t support Trump’s nominees. “How else? There is no other way,” Musk wrote on X, which he rebranded after purchasing Twitter and moving to boost conservative voices, including his own.

Elon Musk signals he'll go beyond supporting Trump to serve as his political enforcer​

Within Trump's team, there is a feeling that Musk not only supports Trump's agenda and Cabinet appointments, but is intent on seeing them through to the point of pressuring Republicans who may be less devout.

www.pbs.org

What if a favorite Repub bogeyman, George Soros, had made such a huge contribution and received such a huge reward? What if Soros had biz with the government over which he was given power like Musk has? I'm speaking of the $3B+ in defense contracts Musk has with the DoD. Would that be okay with you?

Would it be okay if a figure like Musk was currying favor with the prez-elect when he had such a clear financial interest for doing so?
