Ex-FBI officials worry that Kash Patel as director may wield unlimited power

Purpose


This memorandum provides Members an update on significant facts relating to the Committee’s ongoing investigation into the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and their use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (F ISA) during the 2016 presidential election cycle. Our findings, which are detailed below, 1) raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain DOJ and FBI interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), and 2) represent a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the ISA process.

The FBI disputed the characterizations in the memo.

Investigations generally result in a report. Was one issued by Nunes?
 
The campaign didn't know of Steele's existence or what he was working on when Elias agreed to take over payment of the oppo research from the Free Beacon. He made the arrangement with Fusion GPS, not Steele.

You should read Glen Simpson's congressional testimony so you aren't so ignorant on the matter.
Glen Simpson the guy at the very beginning of "Russia,Russia" that loser?

It should be considered a direct affront to the Trump Administration that Serhiy Leshchenko is now serving as Advisor of President Zelensky’s chief of staff.Leshchenko, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, was a common thread in Democratic opposition research efforts into former Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort. Leshchenko, along with Artem Sytnyk, the director of Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), was responsible for publicly disclosing the contents of the Ukrainian “black ledger,” which implicated Manafort, to the media.NABU worked directly with the Obama WH in January 2016 and has an FBI office on-site. A story unto itself.Although the media swooned over the ledger (Manafort was removed from the Trump Campaign and later ended up being charged by Mueller), the ledger itself appears to have been a giant fabrication.Leshchenko also served as a source for various individuals who were attacking Trump, including journalist Michael Isikoff and DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa.In addition, Nellie Ohr testified that Leshchenko served as a direct source of information for herself and Fusion GPS. Interesting as Nellie Ohr sent an email to her husband Bruce Ohr (and three other DOJ officials) on May 30, 2016 with the earliest know reference to the Black Ledger.Regardless, the idea that Leshchenko is a top advisor to Andriy Yermak and Zelensky gives some obvious insight into Zelensky's recent meeting with President Trump.I wrote about all this back in 2019. Leshchenko has denied Nellie's claim of being a source for Fusion during an "interview" of sorts that took place on X back in 2019.I tried to string the conversation together back in May 2019. Judge for yourself.https://x.com/themarketswork
