Many questions remain, but Democrats, including Obama, are probably not going to look good when we get the answers. Some things still do not add up about the so-called Steele dossier, FISA warrants, the Nunes memo, and the hysterical Democratic reaction to it. A Big Deal or a Nothing Deal? 1) Progressives and Democrats warned on the eve of the memo’s release that it would cause havoc throughout the intelligence agencies, by exposing classified means and processes. When no serious intelligence expert claimed that the released memo had done such damage, the official response to the memo was suddenly recalibrated by progressives. It went from being radioactive to a “nothingburger.” The obvious conclusion is cynical: Cry Armageddon to prevent its release, then, after the release, resort to yawns to downplay its significance. An even more cynical interpretation is that Rod Rosenstein, James Comey, and other officials stridently objected to the release of the memo because they are named in it. Comey incoherently mocked the memo’s purported unimportance even while listing all its deleterious effects and the crises that would ensue.

I encourage all FReepers to read it in its entirty.
Excerpt:
At some distant point, investigators and the media will conclude that the nexus of wrongdoing was likely Barack Obama himself. Aside from the massaged investigations of Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing, during the election of 2016 and the Trump transition of November 2016 to January 2017, Obama allowed his DOJ and the FBI to manipulate the FISA courts to surveille an American citizen and indirectly target others. He then made sure such data were disseminated among as many administration hands as possible. And he further allowed his subordinates to unmask surveilled citizens, whose identities and (in some cases conversations) were ultimately leaked to news organizations.
Could it be that the tools of “change” are being exposed, one by one?
Great article. Thanks.
Bump for later...
VAL JAR............................
We, the tax payers, have already paid for the information so why is it being withheld?
Wow.
The alpha and omega of Robert Mueller's political crusade; great way to cap his corrupt career.
Presumably (>99% certainty) whatever intelligence communities learned by wiretapping Trump campaign would have been passed onto to Hillary camp.
Her camp would/could have ample time and advantage to counter Trump moves, if Trump had been a ‘traditional Republican candidate’. Well, Trump being Trump, he’s not a ‘traditional Repub candidate’ and causing the untold angst from the Establishment Conservatives.
And now Hillary’s hysterical maniacal “Why Aren’t I 50 Points Ahead You Might Ask” and “The Deplorables” are coming more into focus.
It may take a while, as VDH pointed out just prior to this statement. Because not only are the media wildly disproportionately partisan on the affair, but what will, eventually, come out is which media figures were active participants in the reception of information and coordinated its dissemination with one another. Even now they realize that will not be received happily by the public they "serve".
Are we going to see the Steele dossier?
You mean there was more than just a “smidgen” of corruption? Barry couldn’t have been WRONG, or could he?
BOOKEM, DANNO!
The Steele Dossier was published in full by Buzzfeed on January 10, 2017.

The best and brightest pushing the liberal-dem case now:
Schiff, Schumer, Pelosi, Maxine, etc. They start with a disadvantage.
“Impeach foty fi..”
Libs being Libtards.
It’s what they do.
No worries, if your a libtard you don’t know what the hell is going on anyway. Play your bongos and video games. Get your Comedy Central news and explain life’s problems to the nearest idiot willing to listen. Your a liberal, go tell somebody they are living life wrong.
