Unleash the Storm!

Congressional investigators have confirmed that a top FBI official met with Democratic Party lawyers to talk about allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion weeks before the 2016 election, and before the bureau secured a search warrant targeting Trump’s campaign.
Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the Democratic National Committee’s private law firm.
That’s the firm used by the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to secretly pay research firm Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative, to compile a dossier of uncorroborated raw intelligence alleging Trump and Moscow were colluding to hijack the presidential election.
The dossier, though mostly unverified, was then used by the FBI as the main evidence seeking a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign in the final days of the campaign.
The revelation was confirmed both in contemporaneous evidence and testimony secured by a joint investigation by Republicans on the House Judiciary and Government Oversight committees, my source tells me.
It means the FBI had good reason to suspect the dossier was connected to the DNC’s main law firm and was the product of a Democratic opposition-research effort to defeat Trump — yet failed to disclose that information to the FISA court in October 2016, when the bureau applied for a FISA warrant to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
“This is a bombshell that unequivocally shows the real collusion was between the FBI and Donald Trump’s opposition — the DNC, Hillary and a Trump-hating British intel officer — to hijack the election, rather than some conspiracy between Putin and Trump,” a knowledgeable source told me.
Baker was interviewed by lawmakers behind closed doors on Wednesday. Sources declined to divulge his testimony, other than to say it confirmed other evidence about the contact between the Perkins Coie law firm and the FBI.
The sources also said Baker’s interview broke new ground both about the FBI’s use of news media in 2016 and 2017 to further the Trump case and about Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s conversations in spring 2017 regarding possible use of a body wire to record Trump.
“The interview was one of the most productive we had and it opened up many new investigative leads,” one source said.
Another said Baker could not answer some questions about FBI media contacts, citing an ongoing investigation by the Justice Department inspector general into alleged illegal leaks, during and after the election, about the Trump collusion probe and other matters.
These revelations illustrate anew how much the FBI and Justice Department have withheld from the public about their collaboration and collusion with clearly partisan elements of the Clinton campaign and the DNC, Fusion and Steele, that were trying to defeat Trump.
The growing body of evidence that the FBI used mostly politically-motivated, unverified intelligence from an opponent to justify spying on the GOP nominee’s campaign — just weeks before Election Day — has prompted a growing number of Republicans to ask President Trump to declassify the rest of the FBI’s main documents in the Russia collusion case.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), House Freedom Caucus leaders Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), veteran investigator Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and many others have urged the president to act on declassification even as FBI and Justice Department have tried to persuade the president to keep documents secret.
Ryan has said he believes the declassification will uncover potential FBI abuses of the FISA process. Jordan said he believes there is strong evidence the bureau misled the FISA court. Nunes has said the FBI intentionally hid exculpatory evidence from the judges.
And Meadows told The Hill’s new morning television show, Rising, on Wednesday that there is evidence the FBI had sources secretly record members of the Trump campaign.
“There’s a strong suggestion that confidential human sources actually taped members within the Trump campaign,” Meadows told Hill.TV hosts Krystal Ball and Ned Ryun.

He is The Hill’s executive vice president for video.
HER.
UP.
I am with you at this point, have TOTALLY given up on BOMBSHELL BS, when the cuffs are on them and they are doing a perp walk wake me up, it will NEVER happen because they don’t have to follow the laws ONLY WE DO!!! This is however VERY SCAREY stuff and shows just how CORRUPT our government has become and the corruption comes with NO CONSEQUENCES!!! Louis Lerner scott free WITH her fat pension, Brennon scott free WITH his fat pension, Clinton scott free, and on and on NOTHING EVER HAPPENS unless of course you are a pubbie!!! This government needs to be ripped up by the roots and until then nothing will ever change!!!!
There’s still one more piece to the puzzle, which was what was done with the illegal surveillance.
I have maintained for some time that it is highly likely that the circle completes and the surveillance info gets to the Clinton campaign, during the campaign.
Someone must have passed it back up the line. Is that what Nellie Ohr’s ham radio was about? Who was on the other end of the transmission?
Did Gitmo really get new paint and curtains for future 'guest'?
Millions of us are waiting for the arrest to begin.
Will there be a perp walk for the hundreds/thousands of deep state?
Where is the Kaboom?
I hope Justice occurs in these matters so as to avoid the very messy “heads meet pikes” stage .
Can’t let the House go Dem with this kind of stuff hanging out there. VOTE!

Unleash the Storm!
If they don’t its highly likely the elite class will lose their grasp on power as they get picked off one by one. It may be too late already as the dems/fascist side has gone all in very quickly. It will only take 2 teams of 5 to 8 people to do big damage (read hits) over a very short time frame. Their ain’t no hiding dozens of political hits like they did the baseball game.
When conservatives think the ammo box is their only option - it will be on like donkey Kong but scary. Average Americans won’t get it until way too late to make a difference.
Maybe that’s just my inner crazy thoughts but seem simple to me.
“... uncorroborated raw intelligence ... “
No. It wasn’t.
It wasn’t “raw intel”. It was fantasy bullcrap from the start.
It was made up out of whole cloth.
This is the same crap as “Dr. Ford’s credible testimony where she lied”. spinelessness.
Has pant load of Schiff come out yet and screeched, “It’s LIES! All LIES!”, yet?

No, the article is based on Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan interrogating Jim Baker.
Has Nellie Ohr been subpoenaed, yet?
Baker has now confirmed what we all suspected and knew months ago.
Many here on FR knew this as it was happening. Proof? No.
But from James Baker, there is little question that it did happen.
Now, What is going to be done with the vermin who did this?
Expose em All. No matter who is hurt. Including Obozo.
