#FISA Developing @CBSNews obtains April 2 letter responding to @SenRonJohnson and @ChuckGrassley over four key footnotes IG Horowitz FISA report. Three declassified with minimal redactions, and fourth footnote blacked out citing “unique and significant concerns.
Specifically, the redacted information refers to information received by a member of the Crossfire Hurricane team regarding possible previous attempts by a foreign government to penetrate and research a company or individuals associated with Christopher Steele.”
READ footnote 350 FBI effort to verify Steele Dossier “The (redacted) stated that it did not have high confidence in this subset of Steele’s reporting and ASSESSED that the referenced subset was part of a Russian disinformation campaign to denigrate US foreign relations”
Meaning: FBI Knew Before Mueller Probe That Hillary’s Steele Dossier Was Russian Disinformation
Update: John Solomon Confirms – Witnesses subpoenaed for Durham Spygate Grand Jury (h/t rd)
It wasn’t “Russian disinformation.”
It was paid for opposition research.
Which means it included unsubstantiated dirt because that’s what Hillary was paying for.
The FBI knew this, and used it anyway. They weren’t “fooled,” if they were they are monumentally stupid and should be disbanded. They are simply monumentally corrupt and should be disbanded.
They weren’t just monumentally stupid they were complicit in an attempt to destroy an elected President.
Agree Deb. The Russian disinformation excuse is just another layer of cover. No one was “fooled”
Clinton/Intel operation all the way. fbi and Doj and dems are in it up to their skinny Schiff like necks.
When all this surfaced years ago I made the comment here that this was right out of the Graham Greene novel “Our Man in Havana”. Go looking for something and somebody will oblige you and provide what you are looking for. The Democrats and their acolytes went looking for something and made no bones about it and voila somebody provided them with it. Anybody with two working brain cells knew that this was a whole lot of BS from the get go. Now let’s see the charges and perp walks, because that is what is demanded otherwise there is no point in abiding by the rules that have taken hundreds of years to form our society. If the perpetrators are not charged and convicted then what is the point.
The FBI & CIA are dirty…But it is the responsibility of the FISA Court Judge to ensure all the proper documentation & supporting sworn/affirm Affidavits are in the case file…It is the Judge’s Court & His/Her Rules…A stupid blind Judge does not get away because they are incompetent and/or handicapped…..
BTW: The political group Freedom Watch has a class action in the “International Court” suing China.. The Guy is on the hairy edge… creating a group of very unhappy members who lost family members…Unhappy when they find out that USA & China are not members or bound by the “International Court” smells like Soros
The Globalist at work to pressure Congress…If there is a God they will be arrested
End the FBI. Abolish it. They tried to be a Praetorian Guard choosing our President, and should be destroyed for that reason alone, and make their end as shameful as possible.
Initiate a brand new Federal Law Enforcement Organization. Do not allow anyone from the FBI, or anyone the sibling, son, daughter, niece, nephew, or cousin of a current or previous FBI agent, contractor, or employee to be a member of the new organization.
Assign everybody in the existing FBI to a law enforcement organization assigned to a very limited purpose LE organization solving the deaths, disappearances, and domestic violence crimes against members of the Native American Tribes on Reservations. They will continue to investigate and solve only these crimes until they resign from Law Enforcement or retire, no transferring to another federal unit. When the last one retires, the organization ends forever. (PDT signed an Executive Order last year about the 5,000 deaths and disappearances of US Native Americans every year. – Canada isn’t alone with a problem.)
Start a new Federal Law Enforcement Organization. Make sure it can never achieve the concentrated power of the FBI by making it a group (8-12) of equal regional LEO, and that the Washington DC area is a separate shared region overseen by all the directors of the regional LE organizations. The DC area personnel should be only experienced people drawn from all the regions equally, and only assigned to DC for a single set tour before returning to their region. Make sure all their support organizations like the FBI Labs are also split into three equal independent sections (research the FBI Lab scandals for the reasons why.). Make sure no HQ or any section has Facilities anywhere within DC itself.
Abolish the FBI. Make an example of it.
Then do the CIA.
The GW Bush Group made a huge mistake when they tasked the FBI with the CIA foreign Intel… Brennan was @ the WH training Peter how to use CIA resources.. The function of domestic Law and the spooks are Night & Day comparisons…..The absolute power of the CIA to investigate… is dangerous in the wrong hands….FBI are trained to be A-holes… the Spooks to be invisible….You have to believe that the CIA is trust worthy to not use investigative data to violate Constitutional rights… The unmasking of raw data by the FBI was criminal
Restoring the Foreign Intelligence to the CIA and locking data down fixes most of the problems
JMHO
This was the beginning of the corruption.
On Thursday, the Obama administration finalized new rules that allow the National Security Agency to share information it gleans from its vast international surveillance apparatus with the 16 other agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community.

They did not have to compete, did not have to find out on their own, they just coordinated the palace coup.
Its obvious that before that they not only had to compete, what they found out was delivered as individual package without knowing what the other guys gathered and could be checked by the appropriate secretary of state or what have you.
L-There was a television series and later a movie on the courageous, incorruptible, FBI team headed by Elliot Ness. They investigated and prosecuted successfully organized crime during Prohibition. Enough of the team survived assassination attempts, that they were given the nickname “The Untouchables”.
Unfortunately, almost a century later, the 21st Century a number of F.B.I. members came to view themselves as being “Untouchables”, being exempt from a professional Duty of Care/Standard of Care comportment and exempt from the Rule of Law.
Given how important the work of the FBI, as the major security intelligence and federal crime investigation enforcement agency for the United States(and it’s allies who also benefit from it’s best work). Also, because morale is a component of “going the extra mile” morally for it’s agents. Hopefully, house cleaning the F.B.I. gets placed on Pres. Donald Trumps “get..er done file” for his second term !
Does anyone else see a creepy correlation between the years of the MSM leading on gullible lefties with “Russia, Russia, Russia” and the way we are now being toyed with by ‘conservative’ media? I am NOT AT ALL comparing the validity of either narrative, just expressing my feeling of foreboding that we too will ultimately be severely let down from our expectations of justice.
But I am sure that the likes of Breitbart and Foxnews would love nothing more than to give us hungry conservatives lots of FISA teasers and tidbits to click on for many more years to come.
Trump has max 4 1/2 yrs to go and any attempt for justice within that time-frame will be thwarted by the still viciously powerful MSM/DNC/Celebrity cabal. Even if the GOP does win back the house, I have zero confidence that they have any interest in the hard, ugly, uphill propaganda battle that indicting long lists of loyal Democrats would be.
Shit, the GOP won’t even go after an obviously corrupt political foe, an ex-VP who publicly bragged about committing a serious crime. There is no appetite to expose the inner workings of DC from those profiting by it. Other than the few politicians that Trump has managed to inspire, I think the powerful within the Republican machine can’t wait to get back to the way things were before his arrival.
Trump has managed to skim some nasty scum from the top of the swamp, but it still remains both deep and bi-partisan.

Agreed with some of the commenters. This is bought and paid for BS by Her Thighness and the Deep State, not “Russian disinformation”. Catherine is now taking orders on her reporting from Ben Rhodes’s brother.
Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe all need to go to jail
This is the law enforcement that you praise so loudly. Ah, of course, these are JUST A HANDFUL OF BAD APPLES. Sweet dreams!
They will do anything for the pension. They already do.
So was Steele the Russian asset providing disinformation about Trump. The FBI had it bass ackwards.
I wonder which nickname Steele uses on personal correspondence: Chris or Christ?
Catherine H. was at Fox until just recently and she will be sorely missed there. She only appeared at intervals when there was information to share with one of the Fox ‘opinion’ shows and I was looking forward to the next little while when the results of the new investigations start to roll out.
I can only hope that her move to CBS was not inspired by the DNC operatives in an attempt to ‘arkanside’ her reports. There are no limits to what the Dems are capable of! With their media associates!
