DEVIN NUNES & HOUSE & SENATE COMMITTEES EXPOSE WHAT WE KNOW NOW ABOUT THE CORRUPTION AT THE TOP OF THE FBI & DOJ OBAMA APPOINTED OFFICIALS. THEY KNOWINGLY LIED TO THE FISA COURT IN ORDER TO SPY ON TRUMP CAMPAIGN & US CITIZENS!
Here’s the real story based on today’s unredacted letter from the Senate Judiciary Committee to the FBI and what we know so far from the House Intelligence Ovetsight Committee:
1. The Clinton Campaign and the DNC wanted dirt on Trump.
2. But they didn’t want anyone to know they were hot for dirt. So they hired a law firm to cover it up – Perkins Coie, which hired a company, Fusion, which hired a former British intelligence officer, Steele, who paid Russian government officials, to give him dirt on Trump.
3. That is to say, Hillary and the DNC, colluded with the Russians to get dirt on Trump. They did what they accused Donald Trump and his son of doing.
4. The Russians didn’t have real dirt, so they made some up, and sold it to Steele, who was ready to believe it, because he hated Trump.
5. Fusion, at the behest of its clients, gave Steele’s report (the “Dossier”) to the FBI, which – led by people who sincerely believed Trump was a scoundrel – was ready to believe it. Steele also leaked parts of the Dossier, then all of it, to the press.
6. Though they were unable to verify any of the damaging information in the Dossier, the FBI used it to get a warrant to spy on Dr. Carter Page, because he worked with Russians. They suspected that he might be a Russian agent, they say, and they were worried that he was associated with the Trump campaign. That was likely illegal because someone had to swear that information was true. It wasn’t and apparently they knew it, or should have known it, at the time they went to seek the warrant.
7. That is to say, to get the type of warrant they got, the FBI had to have “probably cause” to think Dr. Page was a spy. But it seems they really didn’t believe that. In any event, he wasn’t. Or he’d have been arrested. He wasn’t.
8. Dr. Carter Page graduated in the top 10% of his class at the Naval Academy, has a Masters from NYU, an MBA from Georgetown, and a PhD from the University of London. He’s an entrepreneur whose energy consulting led him to develop good relations with Russians. He’s never been charged with anything in this matter. Nothing. Ever.
9. When seeking the warrant, the FBI and DOJ did not let the FISA judge know that the Dossier they were basing their sworn allegations about Page being a foreign agent on: had been obtained and paid for by the DNC and the Clinton Campaign.
10. Some of the information in the Dossier was actually fed to Steel by Clinton confidant Sydney Blumenthal.
11. At some point, the FBI determined that Steele was lying and was unreliable. They already knew he hated Trump. But they did not disclose to the FISA court that they no longer trusted him.
12. Since apparently to get one of those warrants to spy on Americans you need to state under oath that the information you are providing the court is true, whoever signed the application appears to have perjured themselves.
13. In summary:
a. The Democrats bought information from the Russians, which they tried to cover up by doing it through a law firm. They colluded.
b. The Democrats wanted salacious information in the Dossier, so Blumenthal fed dirt to Fusion.
c. One of the top guys at DOJ, Bruce Ohr, was working with Steele for the FBI while Ohr’s wife, who worked for Fusion, was working on the Dossier.
d. The Democrats destroyed evidence under subpoena in the Clinton email probe – makes you wonder if anything in her emails (or her aides emails and texts) suggested she was involved in developing the Dossier idea.
e. The FBI not only didn’t go after her, and her cronies, they helped them destroy evidence. This was probably a crime.
f. Clinton sympathizers at DOJ went after Mannafort and Flynn, not for the alleged collusion, but for non-colllusin related matters. They also leaked information to the press, which is probably also illegal.
g. Clinton sympathizers in the press published information leaked to them by the FBI.
h. Comey leaked information to a professor who sent it to the New York Times. That was likely a crime by Comey.
14. Bottom line — it looks the Dems were able to manufacture a situation which, given Comey’s and Lynch’s collusion, cooperation or ineptness, and apparent perjury by some DOJ personnel, led to the appointment of a special prosecutor. It looks like the Dems gamed the system and conspired to try to frame Trump, thereby distracting eventual law enforcement away from themselves.
It’s a scandal of a different order of magnitude than Watergate. It was a conspiracy! [between the Hillary campaign and the DNC and some top individuals at the DOJ and the FBI. This is what is meant by “the Deep State” – Very Scary!]
The above summary was compiled by Attorney Bob Allen [except for my comment at the very end in square brackets]. Thanks Bob, excellent job!
It’s all in the memo from Congress as confirmed by the Letter from the Senate Judiciary Committee to the FBI::
