    Horowitz’s investigation into the FISA application coincides with ongoing investigations by the House Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes, which is also looking at the circumstances surrounding the warrants used on Carter Page.

    And spying on Page, didn’t mean just investigating Page. It meant that anyone communicating to Page was also gathered up in the dragnet and possibly anyone those people were communicating with.

    There were four FISA warrants issued on Page, the first warrant was granted on October 21, 2016. The other warrants were renewed every 90 days, meaning the last FISA warrant, which was signed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, lasted until the end of September 2017, almost seven months into Trump’s presidency. Each time an application is submitted to extend a FISA warrant, law enforcement must produce a separate finding of probable cause including additional information collected from the prior warrant that would support the continuation of the surveillance.

    So what was the additional evidence presented to the secret court every time the additional FISA warrant was renewed when Page was no longer a part of Trump’s circle?

    And why did Rosenstein approve the final FISA? By that time the FBI had already been aware that the dossier, which was put together by former British spy Christopher Steele, was questionably sourced. They also knew the dossier was paid for by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the law firm cut out Perkins Coie. And all of that relevant information was omitted to the FISC court, according to the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia report.

    It was former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony on June 8, 2017, to the Senate Intelligence Committee that revealed the dossier has not been verified. Comey and the Bureau had to have known before the first FISA warrant was issued that the dossier, which made the bulk of the first application had not been confirmed. Remember, Steele was let go by the FBI after he lied about leaking information from his dossier to members of the media by the Fall of 2016.

    Comey said this month in an interview that it was a “mosaic” of information that the Bureau used to apply for the warrant, as he downplayed the dossier’s importance in the FISA warrant application. What was the mosaic and were there any red lines crossed, i.e. were government support assets sent into the campaign and was the FBI paying opposition to conduct investigations into members of the Trump campaign?

    Well, it would come to reason then, that Rosenstein knows what that mosaic is. After all, he’s fighting to keep the information from going to the House Intelligence Committee staff.

    The answers to these questions, however, may lie in the classified information requested by Nunes’ committee from the DOJ on April 24. It is the same request that Rosenstein and Wray refused to comply with, citing national security implications if the information is released. Subsequently, Nunes signed a subpoena on April 30, demanding the documents.

    On Sunday, Nunes told Maria Bartiromo that “we asked for specific documents that we still have not received from the Department of Justice…all we’re asking for is give us the documentation you used to start this investigation.”

    Do you have anything to discredit the opening post with that has more merit to it than simply discrediting the source as right wing?

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Is this the strongest reply you could come up with to discredit the opening post? You might as well just say you agree with the opening post.

    I'm disappointed. I know Judicial Watch is RW but I thought they were better than that.

    Several stories published in The New York Times and The Washington Post revealed the FBI had an informant, or spy, in the 2016 Trump campaign. The New York Times article, which included interviews with more than a dozen federal officials connected to the investigation, revealed not only that an informant had been used in the investigation into Trump’s campaign but outed the name of the operation: Crossfire Hurricane.

    The FBI and DOJ have provided more classified information to the New York Times and the Washington Post than to the committees requesting the information.

    An option would be to get the classified documents turned over to the Committee and this it what the President demanded, saying “only the release or review of the documents that the House Intelligence Committee (also, Senate Judiciary) is asking for can give the conclusive answers.”

    Seems to me Trump is doubling down on dumb. This latest antic another potential count of obstruction.
    If he is right, so be it. But he is gambling everything on a hand and no cards are dealt. Desperate.

    He just ordered an investigation about an investigation of himself and he has no evidence that anything was done incorrectly.

    That's all they need. Confirmation bias FTW. Why bother worrying about their opinions? Their minds are unreachable.

    Determining whether or not things were done correctly is the point of an investigation.
