Breaking: Senate Judiciary Committee to Release Memo on FBI, Christopher Steele and Russia Dossier
Gateway Pundit ^ | 2/2/2018 | Christina Laila

...It turns out the Senate Judiciary Committee also has a memo on Christopher Steele, the FBI and Russia dossier they are working to declassify. Their memo is set to be released including FBI redactions shortly....

Paul Sperry of the New York Post reported, “BREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Committee also has a memo on Steele, the dossier and the FBI, and is working to get it declassified.”

[....]

As previously reported, GOP Lawmakers are seeking to make the case that the Mueller investigation and the FBI probe into Trump’s campaign was based on potentially tainted and flawed evidence connected to Hillary Clinton, says John Solomon of The Hill.

Solomon’s report revealed part of the investigation includes an eight page criminal referral filed with the DOJ by Grassley and Graham:

...While the FBI has been protesting the release of the Nunes memo, it has been working behind the scenes to vet a version of the Grassley-Graham memo, which is expected to be released in redacted form soon....

On January 5th, Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent a letter to Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding they investigate if Christopher Steele lied to federal authorities.

The type of warrant obtained against Page allows the government to sweep in everything from everybody the target talks too, then "minimize" it. The "probable cause" to get a FISA Titke I warrant is that Page is a foreign agent, that he is literally working for a foreign government. Title I surveillance is aimed at learning who all is in the ring.

"Minimizing" is the flip side or inverse of "unmasking."

The NSA has 100% of electronic communication. The NSA responds to inquiries, and "masks" or "minimizes" the reports it sends to the FBI. Basically cutting out chats with Pizza Hut.

McCain...detrimental? Remember, he sent a minion to England to retrieve and hand carry the dossier back to the FBI. He’s definitely in ESAD territory here, all because of hid Trump grudge.

-- I wonder how the FISA judges feel about now? --

Some of them deliberately avoid the news. They are probably feeling pretty smug about the grand job they are doing, looking out for our civil rights.

Those are the facts on the ground, you ignorant wretch.
I’m sorry you can’t face the horrifying reality. Some people are just not cut out for it. They’d rather have sunshine blown up their skirts.

There is money involved. The memo says Steele was paid 160k. Was he transparent in the pay, or was it funneled illegally to him? Was money laundering used in this?

Perkins Coie the law firm, were they transparent on payments, or was the billing a cover up job like Enron?

See, the bad guys can play word games all they want, but lies have short feet.

The Senate was intended to be the equivalent of the House of Lords, the House the House of Commons and the Executive the King. This is the intention from the beginning.

That was not a problem but the beautiful balance was destroyed when Senators began to be elected. Now it is just a longer-serving House.

The FISA judge gave thenm a good tongue lashing in that 99 page opinion from April 2017. Went on to say there was no fourth amendment violation. No harm, no foul, but don’t do it again sort of thing.

Anyone notice that we haven’t heard from Hillary?

Hell, she was named in the Memo!

If this is nothing, then why isn’t she cackling like the crazy witch she is??

If that is the case, and the FBI used the Dossier as part of the application, that judge should be furious. Actually, it would appear the judge may be either compromised or stupid beyond belief.

The SCOTUS needs to be calling him in for an interview.

Just got down watching CNN while at gym and based on what I saw this house memo release has done some real damage to Trump’s case that he is not owned by Putin.

There is definitely two separate movies playing on the same movie theater on the same screen. bizarre.

I think the explanation is Title 1 vs Title 7...The fine print. Title 1 appears to confer wider powers...ability to track contacts and contacts of contacts. Not certain, but it makes sense.

Hopefully with all the truth being revealed, one of the major players will turn and start pointing fingers and naming names (Obama and Hillary).

With each new day there is more revelations and additional evidence that Hillary and the Democrat Party have committed major violations of law.

I wonder if there was a million man march on the DOJ demanding justice, would the MSM even report it, and would Sessions act.

Is your gym a local or nationally owned gym? Can you ask them to please NOT play that liberal trash, while you are trying to stay healthy?

Your ridiculous theory only comes from someone who believes criminal cases are performed in public and no idea that Timing is the Art of Champions.

You have no idea what the DoJ is working on and shouldn’t.

Sessions was the first man in the Senate to support Trump when no one else took him seriously. There is no ill-will towards Trump in him.

Any indictments or trials should not come until the Summer so they will be in the headlines prior to the Mid-terms. These scandals should destroy the Democrats even if it is not proceeding as per your hopes.

Why should the judge be furious? For all we know, the judge hates Trump too.

And on a practical level, the judge has no way to know that the DOJ is lying to him. He has "certified statements" from the top dogs that all is on the up and up. The DOJ/FBI learned long ago how to pattern the warrant requests so as to get past the judge; and the judges are pleased that the FBI/DOJ is following the pattern dictated by the judge. On paper, everythig is sworn true and fits the pattern. It's bulletproof, on paper.

SCOTUS doesn't care. This is petty political crap. SCOTUS has major social engineering projects on its plate.
