The FBI is a rogue, seditionist Agency. The tool of Leftist Tyrants.
To borrow one of the Left’s phrases: Burn it to the ground.
I wonder if Fusion GPS was created or the sole purpose of political dirty tricks.
Not hard to figure out. They were going to spy on the Trump campaign and needed an excuse. The crazy dossier, compiled by Steele with the cooperation of Hillary’s dear friend Blumenthal, was a poor excuse, but it would have to do.
Metastasized TDS.
Excellent informative journalism.
Woe, just got a DNS server failure to find Washington Examiner’s IP adress? Not a server error, nor wrong url...but not found in DNS???
Does anyone really believe that the FBI had deep faith in the Trump dossier? They knew what it was a hoax. Faith was not required.
They needed the dossier only as backfill dressed up as official intelligence to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump.
The FBI under hoover did illegal wiretaps for FDR against political opponents. So it is actually nothing new. When it answers to no one it is a frightening organization on par with the KGB. A secret police force involved in gutter politics doing work at the behest of Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile the Muslim jihad named Mateen shoots 49 people in the Pulse nightclub after the FBI interviewed him and felt he was a poor victim of profiling.
So the FBI corruption and leftist tilt has shredied our Constitution and made us left safe. Where’s the upside, Obama?
“Top FBI officials wanted to believe Steele. They needed to believe Steele. So they believed Steele.”
That pretty much sums it up.
Senior FBI and DOJ were (and are) “Deep State” bureaucrats and Trump threatened their cushy status quo, so Steele’s “dossier” was too good to check.
For instance, the dossier alleges that the head of the Russian oil conglomerate offered Carter Page a 19% stake in the company when it went public if he worked with Trump to end Russian sanctions. Such a stake would have amounted to tens of billions of dollars; a bribe of such immense proportions to an unpaid campaign advisor who never met Trump and was never a part of the campaign's inner circle is in no way credible. And yet FBI officials who clearly should have known better swallowed this nonsense hook, line and sinker. Their corruption was matched only by their incompetence.
“The FBI relied on admittedly uncorroborated information, funded by and obtained for Secretary Clinton’s presidential campaign, in order to conduct surveillance of an associate of the opposing candidate,” the Grassley-Graham referral said.
What I’d like to know is whether the FISA judge also was aware all along that the Steele dossier was fiction...but went along willingly with the charade in hopes of stopping Trump from winning the election.
