I listened to his whole interview carefully. The hypothetical addition of Hillary's name into the FISA app was one of many straw men created both by the unhinged anti-Trumper doing the interview and Baker himself. The purpose of the interview was to allow that minor mistakes were made. Baker said several times that the IG report may find that mistakes were made.

The interview was a setup for his slap on the wrist for a couple of typos in the FISA app. Nothing more, nothing less.

RE: Arkancide

Exactly. It was really really REALLY important NOT to put any names in, especially Hillary's.

“’Gratuitous’ to name Dems who funded Steele dossier”

Gratuitous is a strange name but glad someone is naming them. /s

no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation,

Someone needs jail time over this, a false oath or affirmation to subject a citizen to investigation
and criminal charges should be punished severely.

I think a lot of fingers will be pointing upward until they are all pointing at Brennan and Obama. (2 communists.)

Then the last battle will be between those two.

May they both rot in prison, then in hell.

A problem we seem to have is that a politician hasn’t
been hanged in too many years, just to encourage the others.

Same problem with the atomic bomb...

"A memo from the House Intelligence Committee in February 2018 alleged Steele was paid over $160,000 by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign through the Perkins Coie law firm and opposition research group Fusion GPS to "obtain derogatory information about on Donald Trump's ties to Russia."

Hold on a second… I thought they said it was TRUMP that was using the Russians to get dirt on Hillary and THAT was the reason for the investigation...(?)
Man oh man... Those dimocraps are as slippery as snot on a doorknob....

At minimum, each individual that signed a FISA application with the dossier as evidence.

Correct: Telling the truth in the District of Corruption is considered gratuitous.

And anyone who knew it was bogus, and facilitated
this assault on freedom and our Republic and our
elected leader.

Always remember this wasn’t an assault only on
President Trump.

This was an assault on ALL Americans.
IF the culprits are not prosecuted to the FULL EXTENT
of the law then this experiment we call AMERICA is done.

I want to see which FISA judge signed the first one. If it was Contraras..

I want to see that judge interviewed.

I want to see John Roberts interviewed.

And the method through which it was done appears to have been money laundering, as well as being bundled with money from allies which seem clear-cut campaign-finance violations.

I just hope this idiot, Baker, is one of the people indicted after the IG’s report is submitted later this month or early June. He’s just another of the Dem gusanos.
