BREAKING: Senator Lindsey Graham Just Confirmed The Steele Dossier Was Used For 2016 FISA Warrant…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 12/30/17 | Sundance

Posted on 12/29/2017 10:26:26 PM PST by Teflonic

Everyone suspected the sketchy Steele Dossier was what corrupt FBI and DOJ officials used to get the October 2016 FISA warrant against Trump. FBI and DOJ officials refuse to answer that question publicly.

Despite a hundred different ways congressional investigators have asked the question, and despite numerous on-camera questions to FBI and DOJ officials about the 2016 FISA process, no-one had definitively confirmed the Christopher Steele ‘Russian Dossier’ was the underlying evidence for the 2016 FISA application to gain wiretaps and electronic surveillance upon presidential candidate Donald Trump. UNTIL NOW.

Senator Lindsey Graham just confirmed the sketchy Steele Dossier was used to get the wiretap and surveillance warrant from the FISA court. Brian Kilmead understood what he was hearing was serious, but didn’t quite catch the specific gravity of it. Watch at 04:10

…The back-story to the FISA warrant is the cornerstone. The back-story contains both the FBI and the DOJ scheme. Expose it, remove it, and the entire ‘muh Russia conspiracy’ collapses under the weight of sunlight…

This is critical and important because the specific use of the Steele Dossier underpins the BIG UGLY and exposes the entire top-tier apparatus of the FBI Counterintelligence Division (Peter Strzok, Bill Priestap, James Baker, Andrew McCabe) and the DOJ National Security Division (John Carlin, Stuart Evans, Mary McCord and Sally Yates), as well as DOJ Bruce Ohr and FBI lawyer Lisa Page directly to “conspiracy” charges.

The 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation was surveillance on the Trump Campaign and was thinly disguised under the fraudulent auspices of a FISA warrant, sold as a defense of U.S. democracy from Russia, which permitted the wiretaps and surveillance etc.

DACA is far down on the list of our problems. They will never be deported, so forget about that. Very few would support it contrary to the beliefs around these parts.

Ending chain migration and building the wall would make Illegalism as a major problem much more tractable. DACA becomes relevant AFTER the willing illegals are deported.

It is at the tail end of the 8-30 million illegals and will be handled accordingly. Prioritization is of utmost importance.

Good stuff, thanks. I am stunned to see the “I Hate Session” idiots could be wrong.

From your link:

Date on that doc is November. Steele, McCain and Tim Kaine were at that security conference in Halifax in August of 2016. Boy, now I really want to know what Whitehall knew and when it knew it. And if the UK had a hand in Golden Showergate...

Trump seems to play 3D chess and a close to the vest brand of poker. I’ve always seen Sessions as a straight shooter, perhaps recusal was to remove all possibility of tainting future(current) investigations. If so, he is antying up to stay in the game until he holds the right cards to go all in with. If this mess. Is as large as it seems, the right cards are critical to force all involved to go all in as well.
Spoke to a friend after he had dinner with an FBI agent during Whitewater during Clinton’s first run for Pres. He stated to my friend nothing would come from the investigation because the spiderweb of leads led to more spiderwebs and it would take 100% of the agencies resources to even begin to chase down all of the leads, coupled with the fact that every political appointee in the state of Arkansas had been personally appointed by then gov Bill Clinton, also know that the top three positions in Arkansas Agenies are political appointments. We’ve had a deep date here that is only beginning to be changed since many of these appointments are 10-12 year appointments.
Imagine know the size of the D.C. Swamp after 50 years of congress passing the buck to the administration with sweeping omnibus bills and vague language for implementation. As private citizens we are going to participate as leaders in the great experiment that is America, in our families, communities, churches, schools, any and all public forums, in the realm of politics and political discussion. We will in doing this become that most hated person in America - an informed voter. Franklin told us we have a republic, if we can keep it! President Trump is making that our marching order! MAGA!

I don't think it's that.

You know how some people unconsciously close there eyes when saying things that they know are untrue. I think that he is one of those guys.

For a Democrat ...... he's not a bad guy.

marching orders, and those orders are to open Trump up to indicts and impeachment

Those are democrat fevered fantasies. It will not happen.

They will settle for Manafort & Flynn, a la Scooter Libby -- who, ironically, Mueller settled for just 10 years ago! After letting Turd Blossom slide...

So the Obama’s FBI and DOJ, under Comey and Susan Rice surveilled a Presudential campaign under false pretenses in order to ensure the election of Hillary. The Democrats cheated the American people in the worst way.

"Does Juan McCain have any exposure here?"

If Manafort managed to roll on his lobbying partner (McCrisis '08 campaign manager) Rick Davis, maybe.

This is always the problem with special prosecutors - while fishing, they go back years on tax returns, and yet are often blind to who else they ensnare besides the person of interest.

"There is a very soft underbelly to this entire story that leaves [MCain's] slam-dunk prediction completely compromised. All the while that McCain was talking up Ukraine as being a potential future hot spot on the Russian geopolitical horizon, Republican insider and political strategist Paul Manafort was deeply entrenched in Kiev. He was advising a Soviet apparatchik with strong Ukrainian-Russian mafia ties by the name of Victor Yanukovych; the very man who would become Ukraine’s president in 2010, the very same man whom Ukrainians sent packing out of the country in 2014 through an incredible three-month long protest against his authoritarianism and corruption.

Before 2008, Yanukovych’s political party, called the Party of Regions, worked closely with a lobbying firm called Davis Manafort (out of Delaware) comprising of Rick Davis and Paul Manafort. In 2008 Rick Davis became McCain’s presidential campaign manager. Paul Manafort worked closely with Rick Davis for years as they own a lobbying firm together called Davis Manafort and Freedman (out of Arlington, Virginia). Back home in the U.S., Manafort himself wanted to chair the 2008 Republican Convention, but was rejected because of his heavyweight lobbyist reputation as a Washington insider. Manafort ran Bob Dole’s Republican Convention back in 1996." -- Mark Musser, American Thinker, March 7, 2014

Wikipedia: "Davis left the Reagan White House to work with longtime lobbyist Paul Manafort, founding the lobbying firm Davis, Manafort. Between 1998 and 2008, the firm was paid at least $2.8 million for lobbying Congress, promoting pro-Russian policies with regard to Ukraine.
