FBI's Steele story falls apart
The Hill ^ | 9 May 2019 | JOHN SOLOMON

Posted on 05/09/2019 12:53:31 PM PDT by BeauBo

The FBI’s sworn story to a federal court about its asset, Christopher Steele, is fraying... Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for Hillary Clinton’s campaign was inaccurate... Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page

10 days before FBI officials swore to the FISA warrant, top Government officials were notified of disqualifying information about Steele and his story, which was required to be be revealed to the Court, but was not.

...and I would assume, every time after when the warrant was renewed.

So charge some people with crimes already!!!

Information means exactly NOTHING unless it’s acted upon.

Or are we still supposed to “trust Sessions” on this one? LOL

More red meat to keep us as riled up as possible. They will keep throwing these tidbits out there as a distraction and a delay tactic. All the while continuing to go after Trump, his administration and his family. They will not stop untill it is done. The gopE are scumbags that lie to our face while they stab us in the back. At least the msm and dems smile at you as they F*** you.

Of course submitting a false report by a dim to other dims against a republican is not a violation of the law. Perfectly legal. Move on. Nothing here to prosecute.

"...which was required to be be revealed to the Court, but was not. "

Do we know this for a fact?

It wouldn't shock me one bit to find out the FISA court knew this stuff was "unverified and salacious" political opposition dirt...but ok'd it's use as a means to spy on a political opponent anyway.

“More red meat to keep us as riled up as possible.”

I think they are dribbling out the story, to prepare the public for the upcoming IG Report, which is expected to blow the lid off of this, and include criminal referrals.

Like the last one that said mistakes were made, but there is no evidence that the hillary investigation was politically manipulated?

They Knew it was crap.

They just wanted the FISA court to give them permission to do what they were already doing.

They were going to spy on the Trump campaign come hell or high water.

Nellie Ohr and her Fusion GPS partners were already disseminating the Dossier all over DC and McCain took it and ran with it, straight to the FBI, that ALREADY HAD IT, so then they could say it was legit.

I wonder how much “support” Barr is really getting in his investigations. The Anti-Trump Deep State Cabal is still active and their foot soldiers in the DOJ, FBI and State are probably doing whatever they can to distract and delay Barr’s ongoing investigations. It must be enormously frustrating for him.

Its also questionable whether Horowitz (”no bias found”) and Huber (the invisible investigation) are helping him either. It will be a miracle if Barr is able to unravel 50% of the cabal’s activities. But I applaud him for trying.

Clearly the FBI like much of the dark state (DC) is an organized criminal racketeering organization. It should be assaulted using the RICO Act and destroyed by We-The-People. Any good people working therein can get another job.........

“...which was required to be be revealed to the Court, but was not.” “Do we know this for a fact?”

Definitely, there was information that would be required to disclose to the Court, which was not.

What has not been publicly revealed yet, is hard evidence that those individuals who assembled and signed the FISA application knew ahead of time.

“The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.”

“Kavalec, two days later and well before the FISA warrant was issued, forwarded her typed summary to other government officials. The State Department has redacted the names and agencies of everyone she alerted.

But it is almost certain the FBI knew of Steele’s contact with State and his partisan motive. That’s because former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland says she instructed her staff to send the information they got from Steele to the bureau immediately and to cease contact with the informer because “this is about U.S. politics, and not the work of — not the business of the State Department”

That is why an independent investigator needs to be found and appointed SC. I, unlike many here, do not trust barr and I think he is part of the deep state that was brought in for clean-up. And what happened to linda demanding a SC? Or linda's promise to investigate the investigators? We are being kept in the dark and fed BS. They are not going to do anything but continue to distract us until Trump is gone, one way or the other.
