Devin Nunes Asks Jeff Sessions What He’s Doing About FBI Violations of FISA Protocols
breitbart ^ | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 03/02/2018 3:26:17 PM PST by davikkm

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes (R-CA), is asking Attorney General Jeff Sessions whether the Justice Department is investigating what appears to be a “clear violation” of FBI protocols. In a letter sent on Thursday, Nunes laid out the protocols that FBI agents appear to have violated in using the Steele dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on a Trump campaign member under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

He cited FBI guidelines that officials must follow when requesting FISA warrants, including that “Only document and verified information may be used to support FBI applications [FISA] to the court [FISC].”

Nunes said in his letter that “former and current DOJ and FBI leadership have confirmed to the Committee that unverified information from the Steele dossier comprised an essential part of the FISA applications related to Carter Page.”

Jeff Sessions - Trump’s most glaring mistake of his presidency.

Trump got tricked ! Leaders sometimes get tricked like that. The Holly Bible KJV is chock full of kings getting tricked by their advisers and generals. Let's see how Trump recovers.

Honestly we all got tricked. I’d doubt you could find a negative word on this site about Jeff before he was sworn in.

This is good. Nunes and President Trump are both pressuring Sessions. Making quite a record of the President and Congress being dissatisfied with Sessions performance, which will come in handy if Sessions is fired.

Does anyone think that Mr. Magoo (a/k/a Rip Van Sessions) is going to wake up and do ANYTHING about this sedition?

No?

Okay, maybe I don’t understand 3D chess.

The guilt is written all over that mealy-mouthed southern fried piece of living sh!t

Stop holding back. It's not good for your heart to hold back.

“Okay, maybe I don’t understand 3D chess.”

Yeah you don’t. That’s because he’s playing 6D chess! Or maybe 7D? What about 10D checkers?

I’m beginning to seriously wonder if Sessions is being covertly drugged.

As a Conservative, I’m willing to moderate my opinion of Sessions until positively proven otherwise.

The coming IG report (soon, I hope) may provide insight to this.

I’m completely over that “super secret slight-of-hand 4-D invisible chess distract the enemy” fairy tale.

Newt had it right: Sessions wanted the title, but not the job.

Sessions has done as much as AG as a corpse could.

That’s not much of a question. We already know Sessions is pretty much not doing anything.

The question is ... what is Trump going to do about it except whine and tweet?

Sessions was a great Senator.

I see that NONE of you nitwits has even considered the possibility that our Attorney Genital, teh "Honorable" Jeff "Mr. Magoo" Sessions is actually playing 3D Tic Tac Toe in the 9th Dimension squared and inverted! YOU FO0OLS!

Also, Donald has a pretty set methodology. He picks whoever seems the best to him, but then watches and moves towards a “You’re Fired” moment after a generous amount of indulgence.

I expect that is going to happen to Sessions if something that makes sense does not issue from his office Real Soon Now.

Hope Nunes included an alarm clock with that letter.
