UPDATE, RELEASED! All hell is breaking loose in Washington D.C. after a four-page memo detailing extensive FISA court abuse was made available to the entire House of Representatives Thursday. The contents of the memo are so explosive, says Journalist Sara Carter, that it could lead to the removal of senior officials in the FBI and the Department of Justice and the end of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation.

Lawmakers who have seen the memo are calling for its immediate release, while the phrases "explosive," "shocking," "troubling," and "alarming" have all been used in all sincerity. One congressman even likened the report's details to KGB activity in Russia. “It is so alarming the American people have to see this,” Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan told Fox News.

“It's troubling. It is shocking,” North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows said. “Part of me wishes that I didn't read it because I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much.”

“I believe the consequence of its release will be major changes in people currently working at the FBI and the Department of Justice,” he said, referencing DOJ officials Rod Rosenstein and Bruce Ohr.

Meanwhile, Rep. Matt Gatetz (R-FL) said not only will the release of this memo result in DOJ firing, but "people will go to jail."

Of all the recent developments in the ongoing investigation(s), this one is on the cusp of turning into a genuine happening.



Who's going to be in the cross hairs?

If that's the case, why is Schiff, Pelosi, the FBI director and other Dems spewing non-stop trying to downplay it? If there's nothing there, they should just continue with their daily Trump bashing, and ignore the memo.

Confirmed: Bullshit Steele Memo created for Political Oppo Campaign knowingly used by DOJ/FBI to get a Patriot Act Warrant on Trump. Origins concealed from FISA Judge.

Unbelievable abuse of Patriot Act for political purposes, long predicted by Civil Libertarians.

Will Democrats abandon another Principle?

RELEASED, First report of memo:

House Intelligence memo released: What it says


The House Intelligence Committee has released its controversial memo outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Trump-Russia investigation. Here are some key points:

* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.

* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

* DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.

The FBI and Justice Department mounted a monthslong effort to keep the information outlined in the memo out of the House Intelligence Committee's hands. Only the threat of contempt charges and other forms of pressure forced the FBI and Justice to give up the material.

Once Intelligence Committee leaders and staff compiled some of that information into the memo, the FBI and Justice Department, supported by Capitol Hill Democrats, mounted a ferocious campaign of opposition, saying release of the memo would endanger national security and the rule of law.

Finally, the memo released today does not represent the sum total of what House investigators have learned in their review of the FBI and Justice Department Trump-Russia investigation. That means the fight over the memo could be replayed in the future when the Intelligence Committee decides to release more information.

How many bank execs did Eric Place Holder send to prison?


http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/28/news/companies/bankers-prison/index.html
"There have been 59 bankers convicted of crimes, including two executives at NOVA Bank in Philadelphia who were convicted on Wednesday of fraud conspiracy related to TARP funds. An additional 19 bankers have been charged with crimes, with many awaiting trials. "

It's politics. It's human nature. When people are wrong here they tend to defend themselves to the point of stupidity. Schiff/Pelosi are just doing what every politician and almost any human does when it looks like they're wrong or look bad. Very few people are capable of admitting being wrong on even the simplest of things. It's definitely not right, but it's what 90% of people do because they're afraid of failure.

The only person I've ignored here at patnet couldn't explain one of the simplest questions about housing on a somewhat outrageous, but actually provable claim. So it was either a lie or not wanting to be wrong. I don't have time for people like that. Hence why I hate ALL politicians. Hopefully this didn't cross a line on my end Patrick, if it did feel free to delete. Was using it as an example to prove my thought process.

W/out dossier, there would've been no FISA warrant. Was admitted under oath by McCabe. DOJ/FBI already knew dossier's source was unreliable & shouldn't be used, but filed applic w/it anyways. Waited until after to fire Steele. Then applied for extensions on warrant anyways.

Nonsense. The source hasn't been shown to be unreliable at all. Much of it has, in fact, been confirmed as accurate. Is Putin in the habit of killing spies over lies?

Tim Aurora says
Intelligence experts say it’s unlikely that Steele’s intelligence formed the sole basis for a warrant,


Oh Timmy....

The dossier- compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the
Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an
essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was a longtime FBI source who
was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie
and research from Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties
to Russia.

246   MrMagic   2018 Feb 2, 9:55am  

More....

The FBI and DOJ obtained one initial FISA warrant targeting Carter Page and three FISA
renewals from the FISC. As required by statute (50 U.S.C. a FISA order on an
American citizen must be renewed by the ISC every 90 days and each renewal requires a
separate finding of probable cause.
Then-Director James Comey signed three FISA applications
. in question on behalf of the FBI, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe signed one.
Sally Yates, then-Acting DAG Dana Boente, and DAG Rod Rosenstein each signed one or more.


It gets deeper......

248   Goran_K   2018 Feb 2, 10:08am  

Wow.

Has anyone read this full memo yet?

How do heads not roll? I thought the hype around the memo was just media hype.

It's not.

It's incredibly incriminating towards the Obama administration. I mean, if this had happened under the Trump administration, he would be impeached 100%.
250   Shaman   2018 Feb 2, 10:53am  

It’s a classic conspiracy. In this case, to cheat their way past a FISA court and get to listen in on Trump campaign plans. The current acting Attorney General and recent acting chief of the FBI are clearly implicated by their signatures on FISA applications filed with their full knowledge that they were gaming the court by withholding evidence and introducing evidence that was at least partially demonstrated to be false.
251   Goran_K   2018 Feb 2, 11:10am  

Yates should go to prison.
McCabe should go to prison.

The truth is, Obama should be dragged away in chains as well.

Wire tapping a presidential candidate based on a fake dossier paid for by the Democrat party is a "nothing burger"?

I remember Hillary Clinton using that same term when she was trying to explain away her 30,000 deleted e-mails, didn't end up being a nothing burger in terms of the election...

The only one I see are currently being investigated is Trump and his campaign team.


Look closer:

The DOJ is reportedly investigating whether Andrew McCabe deliberately slowed the FBI's Clinton email probe.

The Department of Justice is examining whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe deliberately decelerated the Hillary Clinton email investigation so as not to sway the 2016 election.
The DOJ inspector general is reportedly looking into why McCabe took three weeks to respond to a request to examine newly-uncovered emails that agents at the time believed could be relevant to the Clinton probe.
McCabe was reportedly told Monday morning that he was being "removed" from the FBI, and FBI Director Christopher Wray indicated in a note to employees that the move was related to the OIG's investigation into McCabe's handling of the Clinton investigation.

Wow. Civil Libertarians long predicted FISA would be abused, but this takes the cake.

Unbelievable coordination - a conspiracy - between FBI, DOJ, and Clinton Campaign to undermine a candidate's campaign.

262   Goran_K   2018 Feb 2, 2:31pm  

Wheewww it's getting ugly now.

According to a recent Harvard/CAP polls (left leaning), 75% of poll respondents think the memo is significant and over 60% believe the FBI should be investigated by Sessions and the DOJ.

The wool has officially been pulled away. The next coming weeks should be interesting.

Wait, aren’t these same intelligence agencies who’ve been caught colluding with the Clinton campaign the very ones who “verified” that Russia hacked the DNC? Sort of destroys any credibility they had to claim that. Especially in the face of so many opposing facts like the data transfer speed, the Seth Rich scandal, and the fact that they never even had the evidence because the DNC wouldn’t release their hard drives.

So who looks like a fool now? The one believing in Deep State thuggery or the one who believes in the facts and The evidence?

Flow chart of the memo.

265   anonymous   2018 Feb 2, 3:51pm  

If you need a clearer image of the flow chart, it's located on this page.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/epoch-times-investigation-beyond-the-memo_2431505.html
A declassified House Intelligence Committee memo reveals how the unverified Fusion GPS dossier—opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC)—was used by the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) to obtain a FISA surveillance warrant to spy on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page.

The memo details how the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was intentionally left in the dark about the source of the allegations that led it to approve the spy warrant in October 2016.

In one instance, the FBI and DOJ used a Yahoo! News article based on the Trump dossier as evidence to extend its FISA warrant, despite the unverified information having come from the same source.

After the initial FISA warrant was approved, dozens, if not hundreds of so-called unmasking requests were made by senior members of then-President Barack Obama’s administration.

It also opened the floodgate to a number of intelligence leaks to media organizations, which served to turn public opinion against Donald Trump.

Continuing well after Trump was elected, the spying and leaking raise serious concerns about apparent efforts by the Obama administration, the DNC, and the Clinton campaign to prevent Trump from being elected and to delegitimize him once he was in office.

Agreed - can't believe the resistance here. This is going to be brutal for the Dems. The interview with Nunes is damning. Utterly brutal what kind of sick shit the Dems engaged in here.

Nonsense. The link primarily discusses TARP funds abuses. No one went to jail for knowingly creating and selling fraudulent securities. Or giving them bogus ratings. Even money laundering for terrorists and Mexican drug cartels would not be prosecuted by Holder. And there was the Treasury Secretary who presided over Goldman Sachs when they committed fraud of such magnitude that they had to pay a $5 billion settlement.

When I was younger I was a real boob man. I did unspeakable things to this one pic I had of Kim Novak...Yet like many of us once we got older our tastes matured.

Well I'm not ashamed to say when I read this, I lost it. Like old times with ms Novak, I printed it out in the living room computer, took the page to my room and ejaculated directly on this quote. Wonder if my old lady would consider this cheating, LOL!
