OUTED: FBI Made At Least 11 Payments To Christopher Steele
Diamond and Silk ^ | August 9, 2018 | Nick Arama -

Posted on 08/11/2018 10:28:22 AM PDT by george76

FBI had actually paid Christopher Steele, the man who put together the infamous unverified dossier targeting President Donald Trump during the campaign, in 11 separate cash payments in 2016.

This was despite being admonished in February 2016 and despite the fact that he was being paid with money from the Democrats that went through the law firm Perkins Coie to Fusion GPS to Steele for opposition research to gather against Trump...

FBI was using taxpayer dollars to pay for opposition research and unverified smears on Trump. In the words of FBI official Peter Strzok, sounds like an “insurance policy.”

...

the FBI wanted to continue the relationship even after the election and was going to pay him more, but for the fact that Steele violated their rule about leaking to the press that he was working for the FBI.

...

Yet despite the questions about Steele, despite the fact that James Comey himself called the dossier “salacious and unverified,” the FBI used the dossier to get multiple FISA warrants to surveil Carter Page before and after the election. And the judges were never told about the Clinton connection to Steele and the dossier.

...

The Mueller investigation has spent millions to find no Trump collusion.

So where is the investigation into the DNC, Hillary Clinton and Obama administration actions here?

“Imagine if Bush pulled this crap on Obongo, “

You’re point is well taken, but there’s no chance that W. would have pulled anything like this on Obama since they were and are both on the same side.

Peter Strzok suggested a “cocktail party” with FISA: U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in a July 25, 2016, message to FBI attorney Lisa Page.

Days later, on July 31, Strzok opened the FBI’s insurance policy against Trump’s campaign .

The FBI has got to be dismantled. There is no other way. Transfer its narcotics investigations to US Marshals or ATF, transfer financial crimes cases to Treasury or SEC, transfer counter-espionage to DoD. These bastards at FBI on Pennsylvania Ave and their “culture” are criminal and treasonous.

The FBI no longer has legitimacy due to corruption at the top. The top of the FBI must be purged. One must then work down through the ranks of those the corrupt top hired and they must be purged.

There are many good agents in the FBI but the corrupt top has converted it into The Stasi. The FBI has become a clear and present danger to constitutional law. It must be cleansed as should the Judiciary Department of which the FBI is a part.

-- Gee it's almost as if the FISA court Judge(s) didn't care BS information was used to spy on a Presidential candidate and President Elect. --

Heh. They only care when the system is revealed as being amenable to fraud. Judges are in the worst position to know the facts accompanying a warrant application. All they can do is discern if the application is somehow deficient or disconnected on it's face. If the application is incomplete or riddled with lies, the judge takes what is on it as factual, and if it is suffient, the judge MUST, not discretionary, MUST issue the warrant.

FISA court proceedings are secret. Classified star chamber used to protect your right to provacy. Friggin' joke, wastee of money. Disband the operation. Just disband it. FISA warrants aren't used in trials anyway.

The whole point of the FISA system is to lie to the public that snooping by the government is supervised by the courts. That's just obviously false, the government wholesale snoops and everybody knows it.

It’s been inordinately clear for many months now that those working in government have been attempting to undermine, compromise and overthrow the President of the United States.

Nothing in our history has come close to this level of widespread treason and seditious conspiracies.

When it's all said and done, which one individual's name will supplant Benedict Arnold as the greatest traitor to the country?

narcissists them all, try to over through the US and make the tax payers fund their treason. Prison will be too good for these traitors, if they even get that. After all, they are doing the globalist cabal’s bidding and everybody knows, the globalists rig everything so they always get their way with us.

And yet here we sit reading endless reports of corruption in our government agencies and nothing is done about it. We still pay them their salaries and benefits as if none of this exists.

We have an absolute idiot sitting in the AG’s office watching as one outrage after another gets swept under the carpet without a single charge or arrest.

We certainly have the government we deserve.

Here’s the thing...the FBI didn’t pay him...we did.

We unwillingly paid for the coup against the man we elected. These people in government think they are royals entitled to our money and entitled to do what they please with it to protect their positions.

Thank God for Donald Trump - I can’t think of another person on this planet who could and would take on this massive corruption.

All the honest political experts have admitted they've never seen anything like this.

So do ya think the average Joe and Jane citizen voter had even the slightest clue about the level of widespread corruption perpetrated by those in highest offices in the land, prior to the Trump era?

That's right. They must pay that money back, with interest!

All FBI convictions of the past 25 years must be overturned.

All.

Innocent victims.

I should add the only thing that would come close is if they come up with solid evidence and or documentary proof the CIA/FBI et al, were involved in conspiring to assassinate Kennedy.
