damning proof of innocence that FBI withheld in Russian probe

Anyone, who cares enough to pay attention, knows that the IC is out of control.

Schumer let that cat out of the bag:

The new leader of Democrats in the Senate says Donald Trump is being "really dumb" for picking a fight with intelligence officials, suggesting they have ways to strike back, after the president-elect speculated Tuesday that his "so-called" briefing about Russian cyberattacks had been delayed in order to build a case.

"Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

Schumer tacitly admitted that the IC can control a president or any elected official. How about we ALL call bullshit on that? What sucks is most lefties are at least intuitively aware of this, but for now at least, the IC is playing on their team.

And sure enough, they went after Trump—with a vengeance. This country NEEDS another SC to expose this banana republic crap and not just for the sake of partisan politics.

I am HOPING for some indictments on FISA fraud at least -we'll see what Howowitz/Huber comes up with.

The IC leadership was a bunch of lackeys for Obama -Obama blamed them for not cluing him in on ISIS ( the JV stuff)
but it was widely knows Obama did not want to hear about anything that would have anything to do with Iraq.

They completely lost their shit with Trump -they were all rabid Hillary partisans including Comey and Brennan

damning proof of innocence that FBI withheld

This opinion piece by John Solomon rests on one central claim: that the investigation of possible connections between the Trump campaign and well-authenticated Russian election interference was based solely on what George Papadopoulos did, or didn't do, or denies doing, in summer of 2016 (plus, of course, the "dodgy dossier").

This claim is false.

Warnings of suspicious interactions between Trump associates and known Russian agents had been coming into the US intelligence community since late 2015. The warnings came from friendly foreign intelligence agencies - British, German, Dutch and others.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...m-links-russia

It appeared there was a possibility - which had never arisen before in US history - that the next POTUS might be in hock to a hostile foreign power. Should Brennan, Comey and the rest have ignored it? If they had, they would have been guilty of a serious dereliction of duty.

Solomon mentions none of this, because he wants you to think that the FBI (and the entire IC, plus the Obama administration) was engaged in a political conspiracy against Trump. This kind of biased "reporting" is Solomon's stock-in-trade. He has a long record of it.

post 49 .we're past that. we already know Papadopoulos and C. Page met with Halperin ( the informant/spy for the FBI).
the only question was did Page and Papadoupolous deny ( give) exculpatory evidence to Halperin.

That would be require to be in any FISA ap as FISC is an ex parte court that relies on sworn and verified info on the application

Fodder for the 'deep staters'.

I know Page and Papadopoulos met with Halper!

The only question is ... what about all the warnings from friendly foreign intel agencies re "suspicious interactions" between Trump associates and Russian agents over the previous six months?

From the report I cited:
The European agencies were saying: "There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this." The message was: "Watch out. There’s something not right here."

Should Brennan and Comey have ignored them?

A collusion believer probably shouldn’t go on about conspiracy theories or make fun of conspiracy theorists lol.

Because you are one. You’re also a lucky conspiracy theorist; because few, if any, conspiracy theorists are provided the luxury of an SC to prove their conspiracy theory. And you’ve had the added luxury of having the establishment media carrying your water on your conspiracy theory.

It’s actually more their conspiracy theory than yours since they have been instrumental in propping it up and stepping in and doing rescue breathing on it when it should have withered on the vine many months ago.

One small problem: the added luxury of Mullet was a risky gambit. Yes, Mullet could fulfill your dream of proving your conspiracy theory. But he could also find that it was all fairy dust. Mullet’s problem is he is forced by law to stay between the lines. The media can report misinformation or outright lies whereas Mullet can’t make indictments based on anything but evidence or he will be made to look like a fool in court.

And we will soon find out whether you and tens of millions of Americans were Smolleted into falling for a conspiracy theory.

Didn't even read that shit.

read the link I gave about Brennan. The Estonia tip was false, But he formed his Langley Group anyhow and that led to the Trump Tower investigation of the server links to Russia etc.

https://spectator.org/john-brennans-...campaign/Trump haters across the Obama administration whose activities he could direct — from Peter Strzok, the FBI liaison to Brennan, to the doltish Jim Clapper, Brennan’s errand boy, to an assortment of Brennan’s buddies at the Treasury Department, Justice Department, and White House.

The bogus tip from Estonia led the group into its first cock-up: sending FBI agents to sniff around the computer server connected to Trump Tower.

He should have just passed it onto the FBI -but then he sent Halper on the 2

[Bill]

there never ever was any evidence of Russian collusion -even when Mueller was appointed -per Lisa Page testimony

wow, lets just end it @ that, lisa page says so......

[Bill]

It was a bait and switch, wasn’t it.

Collusion was the bait but the endgame all along was to start an open ended investigation on Trump. The cat is out of the bag.

No cat, no bag, straight out of 8 years of gop bull shitting the same game...... HYPOCRITE!!!!

It is pretty much universally believed he ruined or certainly helped ruin her chances just prior to the election... You just making shit up as you go here??

Hello, noise. The link you kindly provided in post #69 took me to

'Trump’s Pursuit of 50-State Scholarship Tax Credit Deserves Applause'

so I was unable to read about the anti-Trump conspiracy according to the American Spectator.

In the bit you quoted, however, I note that they refer to the former Director of National Intelligence familiarly as "the doltish Clapper", so I think I get the drift.

Again if you were hip to the document releaess you'd see how the "gross negligence" was change to "extreme carelessness" -thus avoiding the language of the statute.
Hillary violated the Espionage act with her "gross negligence" The DoJ (Lynch) however told the FBI they would NOT prosecute her -hence the machinations by Comey
