BREAKING: Senator Lindsey Graham Just Confirmed The Steele Dossier Was Used For 2016 FISA Warrant…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 12/30/17 | Sundance

Posted on 12/29/2017 10:26:26 PM PST by Teflonic

Everyone suspected the sketchy Steele Dossier was what corrupt FBI and DOJ officials used to get the October 2016 FISA warrant against Trump. FBI and DOJ officials refuse to answer that question publicly.

Despite a hundred different ways congressional investigators have asked the question, and despite numerous on-camera questions to FBI and DOJ officials about the 2016 FISA process, no-one had definitively confirmed the Christopher Steele ‘Russian Dossier’ was the underlying evidence for the 2016 FISA application to gain wiretaps and electronic surveillance upon presidential candidate Donald Trump. UNTIL NOW.

Senator Lindsey Graham just confirmed the sketchy Steele Dossier was used to get the wiretap and surveillance warrant from the FISA court. Brian Kilmead understood what he was hearing was serious, but didn’t quite catch the specific gravity of it. Watch at 04:10

…The back-story to the FISA warrant is the cornerstone. The back-story contains both the FBI and the DOJ scheme. Expose it, remove it, and the entire ‘muh Russia conspiracy’ collapses under the weight of sunlight…

This is critical and important because the specific use of the Steele Dossier underpins the BIG UGLY and exposes the entire top-tier apparatus of the FBI Counterintelligence Division (Peter Strzok, Bill Priestap, James Baker, Andrew McCabe) and the DOJ National Security Division (John Carlin, Stuart Evans, Mary McCord and Sally Yates), as well as DOJ Bruce Ohr and FBI lawyer Lisa Page directly to “conspiracy” charges.

The 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation was surveillance on the Trump Campaign and was thinly disguised under the fraudulent auspices of a FISA warrant, sold as a defense of U.S. democracy from Russia, which permitted the wiretaps and surveillance etc.

Makes me wonder if the emergency order on sex trafficking is part of Trump’s response to McCabe wanting to wait out the clock and retire with a pension before he can be caught and prosecuted. 90 days, I think it was said. If so, the race is on, and DJT is always up for a good race.

True. The whole objective of politics and moral persuasion is to get people to change, but somehow, that seems to be lost on many folks. It actually does happen, though...that’s what democracy is all about.

That pattern does look like it is a way for the DOD and Trump to quietly - without the media picking anything up - support this guy’s credibility.

Either that, or the guy is just lucky enough to know what both the DOD and Trump were thinking, shortly before they thought it...

Yes sir I did, and I appreciate it. Good luck turning up something on that. I’ve been curious ever since Judge Nap first mentioned it, and can’t tell you how many searches I ran on “GCHQ” but never found anything but their endless denials which I still don’t really believe.

Hillary stole $6 Billion from State Department. They refuse to audit same. She took all the DNC money and filtered it to the Clinto Foundation. HRC and hubby were reeling in $Millions from various other scams(speeches). The evidence is clear. No one wants to actually do anything to Hillary. I say Make her broke. Run her through the legal system on what we have now. Sessions has no intention to prosecute her. He has said so. Trump needs to appoint someone as SC immediately.

It's possible. The overt phrase "we're having pizza tonight" could be literal except for the word "pizza" which may be a single bit (binary) code for something. The entire phrase could be a single binary code. Various other words or wordings could be binary code. For example "we're going to have pizza", "we're having pizza", "we will have pizza", "there will be pizza" are four phrasings which can carry two bits of information (the number 1, 2, 3, or 4). As you can tell, there's not a lot of bandwidth in such encodings.

But as an example, to get a latitude / longitude that can narrow a location down to a few feet you need 5 or 6 decimal digits or about 20 binary bits. So you need enough word salad in your email or ham radio message for the recipient to extract the 20 bits, decode it into a lat/long, punch it into their GPS and show up.

“In the off chance you are asking in good faith-”

Thanks for giving me the benifit of the doubt - more than I deserved perhaps, but I do find your explanation a lot more appealing - especially the tone; real world vs the Lord of the Rings quality some of the Q threads take on.

As far as the idea that there are big things afoot unknown to the public - I’ve trusted that all along - often taking flack for believing Sessions is far from the do-nothing swamper many FReepers say he is.

Maybe that’s why some of the Q stuff seems over the top - maybe I don’t have as much of a need as some do to have clues and breadcrumbs “revealed” by Q - I am already aware Trump is draining the swamp in ways the MSM would not know of and/or report.

And I’m fine with that.

Best election ever.

40 bits (20 bits for lat and 20 for long). Then throw in another 10 bits for date and hour of the day.

Yes, since McCain won’t be around much longer this whole mess will be blamed on him. McCain will be the fall guy for everything.

The obtuse response.

Did anyone in the office get a rise out of the contents?

Editors play games with headlines.

Even here at FR, the headline has to fit in 100 characters.

I think the issue is that the FBI used it to get the FISA warrants. I think Graham was raising questions about the FISA warrants long ago. Opposition research is nothing new in politics, but using it to get FISA warrants, especially since the source of the Dossier was a British agent collecting it from Russian sources, which of course be KGB double agents giving this information to the British agent with the sole intention of causing all this turmoil.

So give Senator Graham credit for making this public and no I am not a constituent of his from South Carolina.

“That’s why WE have got to GET INVOLVED “

True.
But equally important is not losing heart. Trust that Trump
(and Sessions, by the way) are doing things the MSM doesn’t see and would not report on if they did). It would be a shame if the voters believed what the fake news tells them and then fail to vote in the midterms or for his reelection.

We need cheerleaders touting Trump’s achievements - especially those ignored by the MSM (which is most). And cheerleaders reminding supporters Rome wasn’t built in a day, things are not always as they seem, the left lies, etc.

They, apparently, underestimated Trump. I happily did, too, but I suspect the deep state isn’t in the same mood about it as I am.

I tried to watch that video - the kid seems to have a good heart but to an older guy like me the tone is just a little off putting - it seems like it appeals to a certain type.

I’m sure there’s some non kooky basis for it, but it’s dressed up in a type of jargon that is just to Tolkien for me. I really feel a little embarrassed for them sometimes.

Maybe it’s my loss, but that’s just the way I feel.

They might have if this stuff about the dossier and possible link to FISA warrants was anything new.
