It's hard to tell satire and "journalism" apart anymore.

So in the end, baker is saying that no one is accountable for using false evidence to obtain a FISA warrant? Wow, why even have a FISA court then?

Yeah, it’s such a minor detail that another campaign paid for the evidence

Hi.

Mr. Baker knows that Carter Page is/was an FBI asset.

Don’t believe me? Ask the GRU.

Dirty cops, failed coup.

Gallows.

Your Honor, to sentence and send my client to prison for a fraudulent FISA application would be gratuitous.

Why? Well, I just said so.

Mr. Baker either thinks the rest of us are fools or he is a real half-**sed, shi***** of a lawyer. Of course it doesn’t matter that government spies and criminal investigations were set in motion entirely on the advice of a political campaign, relying on consultants and foreign nationals paid by that campaign to infiltrate the opposing campaign, directed by the FBI and CIA with the use of taxpayer dollars, to favor a candidate for President they wanted by destroying FBI interview meeting notes, allowing the withholding of 30,000 emails self-reviewed by that candidate, not caring about the destruction of hard drives essential to evidence, the taking of testimony not under oath notes of which the vaunted FBI has “lost”. And on the other hand, doing everything they can at the bidding of one political campaign AND AT THE STINKING COSTS TO TAXPAYERS to disfavor the opponent these wretched bureaucrats hated. Was “senator” Burr ever an FBI agent?

“You don’t want to put into a document like this gratuitous information about U.S. persons," Baker said moderator Benjamin Wittes. "You want to try to minimize it, to some extent. If it's important. If the assessment is that the identity is critically important and you need it to either follow the flow of the information ... then you might put the person's name in."

But, hey, it's okay to submit patently false scurrilous hearsay. No big deal

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Constitutional Crisis?

Arkancide to name the Dems ( Hillary & pals ) who funded the fake Steele dossier in Carter Page FISA applications.. and would result in more Arkancides.

Baker might be right. It would have been gratuitous to name them in the dossier.

But it will be right on point to name them in the indictments
for perpetrating this fraud on the FISA courts and the American people.

” “You want to try to minimize it, to some extent. If it’s important. If the assessment is that the identity is critically important and you need it to either follow the flow of the information ... then you might put the person’s name in.”

How can the fact that HRC funded the dossier not be, “critically important?”

James Baker said he "wanted the burden on me to a significant degree"

Fine, then send him to prison. Pour encourager les autres.

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.

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

"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....

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

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.
