Republicans released a long-awaited memo Friday detailing government surveillance abuses, showing that the FBI would not have obtained a surveillance warrant for the Trump campaign without using information from a dubious partisan dossier.
Here are six take aways:
⦁ The FBI relied heavily on Democratic Party dossier to obtain three surveillance warrants before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FBI did not tell the court the information came from a Democratic Party-financed opposition research. FBI knew source.

The FBI misled the FISA Court by misrepresenting Clinton campaign materials as USA counter-intelligence, basically faking evidence to obtain a warrant.

Not necessarily. The FISA warrant was against one specific person whose relationship to Pappadapolous appears to be scant. It was the one aid they were investigating not the entire administration. This aid had previously had a FISA warrant against him. The fact he walks free sounds like there was nothing to that one either.
But seriously, we’re going to justify going after the campaign of a Presidential candidate based upon a junior aid’s drunken ramblings?
“The Dems are trying to switch the narrative to Pappadopoulos now.”
And I expect their ministry of truth to run with: `Trump Obstructed Justice!’
Like dying rattlesnakes they will still try to bite.
And don’t forget the TARMAC MEETING between Lyin’ Lynch and Bill Clinton. Did Bill give Lynch the Dossier during that meeting? In any case, Lynch was involved in this mess.
They can say whatever they want. The FISA warrant application shows why they needed to conduct surveillance. It’s the start of everything, not the drunken ramblings of a minor campaign hanger on. I think it’s devastating that they knew where the Steele Dossier came from yet did not put that in the application. That shows that they knew they were perpetrating a fraud on the FISA court.
Nope - just the opening of a really tangled up can of worms for a lot of leftists....
Democrats go to jail?
You got to be kidding.
It will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER happen.
When you control the media and have the power, you control who goes who gets investigated, let alone who goes to jail.

You are correct.
Remaining to be brought into a hearing is the FISA Judge who can give testimony in the warrants in question and the other warrants for surveillance of Jeb Bush and other candidates.
Trump was a late comer.
The surveillance of Jeb Bush likely dates from much earlier since he was seen as the likely opposition.
Defeatism is unrealistic AND stupid.
What power do the dems have now? Basically none, and fewer and fewer people trust or even pay attention to the fake media “news”.

And there you have hit upon a crucial point.
Current media coverage doesn’t discuss this. In two years, perhaps, it will — as the investigation widens and begins to clarify what was going on.
Anyone thinking that this little bit of focus on Carter Page is the whole extent of the corruption story is, I am sure, very mistaken.
Prepare yourselves for a few years of
“Whoa! They were running surveillance on Trump, too?!??”
“Whoa! They were running surveillance on Jeb Bush, too?!??”
“Whoa! They were running surveillance on Rubio, too?!??”
“Whoa! They were running surveillance on Cruz, too?!??”
“Whoa! They were running surveillance on Romney in 2014, too?!??”
— shock and denial from the Democrats —
— naivite from the rest of the country. (FR excepted)
Mr. K,
You and I know many many upper echelon types within the Dept of Justice, FBI,IRS,Clinton foundation etc should be on their way to prison.
I would not bet the farm on anyone seeing a moment in one.
It sounds like it. The only people hyperventilating about it are the Republicans. Everyone else is ignoring it or saying its not a big deal. Even Sessions/Wray are dismissing it...
Eric Holder
Lois Lerner
Robert Menendez
Loretta Lynch
Hillary Clinton
All of these Democrats have committed crimes and belong in jail. Yet, nothing will happen to them.
And out of all these law breakers, Weiner is the only one in jail.

Huge numbers of crimes committed by large numbers of people, many involving foreign governments or overseas actions, in a multitude of government agencies and private entities.
Trump has been president for just over a year, and many of his appointees were not in place for months after he was inaugurated.
And you expect people in prison already?
Childishness.

The USSC has oversight of the FISC. At some point, will someone at the USSC instruct the judge who was signing the FISC warrants to provide documentation and prove that procedures were followed which justified signing those warrants?
Yep. But wasn't that was all about the email server scandal.
Seriously how many cases of impropriety (AKA scandals) does the public have to endure before the mainstream press actually sit up and take notice?
