Nunes: FBI may have violated criminal statutes in FISA application to spy on Trump adviser Carter

The FBI may have violated criminal statutes, as well as its own strict internal procedures, by using unverified information during the 2016 election to obtain a surveillance warrant on onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee charged Thursday in a letter obtained by Fox News.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., wrote in his letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions that “in this instance, it’s clear that basic operating guidance was violated.”

Nunes cited the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG), which was created by the bureau and approved by the Justice Department, to say he believed the FBI violated procedures requiring verified and documented evidence in applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

An Oct. 2011 version of the operations guide states that the “accuracy of information contained within FISA applications is of utmost importance... Only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications to the court.”

The guidance also states that information in a FISA application must be “thoroughly vetted and confirmed.”

Oh well you see, there is no problem here. The FBI did not need to verify the provenance of the dossier because they knew exactly where it came from.

Just think, all the dastardly, underhanded, illegal, unethical, and corrupt work by Hillary, Obama, FBI, Democrats and their supporters would not be known had Hillary been elected. Citizens of the nation now see what a bunch of scallywags the Democrats really are.

RosenWeasel signed the fourth one. By that time it should have been clear that the DoJ and FIB were perpetrating a fraud on the Court.

RosenWeasel needs to be prosecuted.

Exactly! The FBI assisted in its fabrication so verifying it would have been counter-productive to their goals as well as convolutedly redundant.

“scallywags?” Only? That is putting it lightly. Nefarious, reprehensible liars and thieves would say it better—but that is also putting it lightly.

Sessions: Nobody’s perfect. Now if you’ll recuse me, it’s time for my power nap.

This really all sucks. Nothing will happen. It goes on and on going nowhere. The creeps always get away with it. Always.

There are thousands of people sitting on Death Row after being Convicted with FAR less evidence than is PUBLIC in this case.

What violations? The FBI is above the law, isn't it? They are the law, so, they can violate any law at will.

Obama was also above the law, as witnessed by the many laws he broke while in office. Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder were also above the law, since as heads of the DOJ, they were allowed to ignore or violate all the laws they wished. Hillary, and Bill, well, same thing. They were and are above the law.

How can anybody charged with upholding the law violate any law? Ask Comey how that works.

I think they are purposely rubbing it all in our faces and not doing anything about it as a way to enrage enough of us to end this country so all of the money they have stolen over the years never has to be paid back to us. The fact that they can’t pay out the social security benefits and retirement payments they owe massive numbers of us without being found out to be the thieves and liars that they are has prompted their exit strategy of having us destroy everything out of rage be put into action. They are taunting us to break us and free themselves.
