This is just amazing to me that the FBI has become this corrupt and partisan, along with the DoD and State Department, well, never mind about the State Department, but anyway, this stuff is just amazing.

If you want to know how our FBI works to get American citizens put way when they are innocent, just go see the movie 'Richard Jewell'.
FBI lawyer under criminal investigation for altering document related to Carter Page surveillance
Under suspicion of being a Russian agent, Page became a subject of interest in the FBI's counterintelligence investigation, called Crossfire Hurricane, which began in July 2016. and was later wrapped into Mueller's investigation. Page was never charged with a crime as part of Mueller's investigation, which failed to establish criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, and denied being an agent for Russia.
Last summer, the Justice Department took the unprecedented step of releasing more than 400 redacted pages of top-secret documents on the FISA warrant obtained to wiretap Page after Trump declassified their existence.
Page has been heavily critical of the Russia investigation and the media coverage of it, which he claimed was an effort to advance a narrative for impeachment. "Unfortunately, it was completely spun that as you're correctly alluding to in this fake Mueller report, they just refer to this as oh, he's, you know, colluding, if you will, with these Russian intelligence officers," he said in June.

Papadopoulos says FBI asked him to wear wire to record contact who promised Clinton 'dirt'
Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos told a joint congressional task force last year the FBI asked him in January 2017 to wear a wire to secretly record Joseph Mifsud, the man who told Papadopoulos the Russians had “dirt” on former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
But according to a newly released transcript of that private testimony, Papadopoulos declined.
In March and April of 2016, Papadopoulos had a series of meetings with Mifsud — who was alleged to have connections to high-ranking Russian officials — during which Mifsud told him that the Russians had obtained thousands of Clinton’s emails.
The FBI believed Papadopoulos told this to Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, who then relayed this to the U.S. government and prompted an investigation in July 2016. And so the FBI wanted answers from Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos was interviewed by the FBI in early 2017 about his time on the Trump campaign, his contacts with foreigners, and his outreach to Russia. In his October testimony to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, Papadopoulos described three such meetings to the committee, the first two of which took place without a lawyer present.
