“...what will come of this?...”

Why isn’t every scrap of evidence discovered as a result of the phony warrant declared inadmissible in court.

Flynn, Manafort, and anyone else in mule-skinner’s sights should be “set free” and compensated for their troubles (out of the doj’s budget).

Yes! So why doesn’t this happen? I’m getting so frustrated with all this.

Mr McCarthy over the past year or more has been very skeptical of the Mueller investigation for a variety of reasons. His assessment of the Steele dossier has been devastating.

I’m thankful he’s with us “crazies” now. So kind of him.

I like him, but he’s been obtuse about this case for a long time, too long in my opinion.

Lots of people in the DoJ/FBI need to swing, starting with the four FISA judges.

Original FISA warrant Oct 2016
First renewal Jan 2017
Second Renewal April 2017
Third Renewal July 2017

I skim read all 412 pages of the FISA warrants. Except for the differing signatories, it seemed to me the three renewals were exactly the same.

We know it was very public information that in December 2016 the Steele Dossier was suspect to say the least.

So everybody who was involved in the approval process for the three renewals knew that the Steele Dossier was suspect and no one called a ‘time out’.

It doesn’t, further proving that the launching of the special counsel was illegal and unnecessary.

Yeah - and not only that, but it’s raining outside, and I went out in it and water is wet.

Yes, Andy, we told you over & over & over again, but you knew better, until you did not. I like Andy, but he was slow on the uptake.


It must be much different in the Southern District of New York.
I have seen a lot of warrants issued on very flimsy evidence. Lots of warrants are mostly boilerplate including all notes, computers, phones, etc, on every warrant for everything from burglary to drug sales.

I wish judges were routinely half as careful as McCarthy makes them out to be.

Yes, Andy is playing choirboy here.

He’s been all over the place, starting with signing that absurd National Review cover “Never Trump”.

Happy he’s seeing clearly these days.

The FISA warrants speak to me. They say, “unredact me, unredact me.”

The portions unredacted are plenty for the document to be unredacted.

Notice that he says “my DOJ.” McCarthy is still out to lunch.

Does Anyone ever mention that McCain turned over the dossier to the FBI ? AFTER THE ELECTION
