FBI ACKNOWLEDGES USING MULTIPLE INFORMANTS IN INVESTIGATION OF TRUMP CAMPAIGN AIDE.

-The U.S. government revealed Friday that it used multiple informants to obtain information against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. -In court filings, government officials also revealed confidential human sources were paid for their work. -The FBI relied heavily on an uncorroborated dossier to obtain warrants to spy on Page.

The U.S. government revealed in court filings Friday that the FBI used multiple confidential informants, including some who were paid for their information, as part of its investigation into former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

“The FBI has protected information that would identify the identities of other confidential sources who provided information or intelligence to the FBI” as well as “information provided by those sources,” wrote David M. Hardy, the head of the FBI’s Record/Information Dissemination Section (RIDS), in court papers submitted Friday.

The FBI’s use of multiple confidential sources is not a surprise, but the disclosure is the first time that the government has acknowledged using sources beyond Steele, who was hired to investigate Trump by the Democrat-connected opposition research firm, Fusion GPS.

This period of time is a gold mine for anyone who is an actual investigative journalist. They don’t seem to care. Weird, right?

The media is more concerned about the Muslim extremist “reporter” that get murdered by another Muslim extremist. Our media is the problem.

Carter Page was an FBI informant long before he was an unwitting pawn to be used against Trump.

Agree!

The only investigative journalists that are interested are John Solomon and Sara Carter. Both are doing an excellent job.

My biggest complaint is when they are on Hannity, Sean does not give them ample time to respond. He butts in too much.

Sean does that with everyone which makes him unwatchable.

SPYING on a Presidential Campaign:

Much bigger than Watergate.

Bravo!! Bravo!! Join the crowd of people that have a massive distrust and distaste for the lying media. It isn’t fake news. It’s damn lies. There is no such thing as fake news. And lying is intentional. Lowlifes!!

The Mafia would be proud. The FBI seems to have adopted many of their own tactics.. not withstanding the Gestapo like accusatory and drum up false evidence schtick.

" My biggest complaint is when they are on Hannity, Sean does not give them ample time to respond. He butts in too much."

So does Laura, and Judge Jeanine does it a bit. Hannity and Laura are becoming unwatchable, I am switching off too "Velocity" to watch Street Rods being built they are so bad and I am a political junky, and this tock has got to go enough already. Add to this his catastrophic warnings of loosing the house, Larry Schiewkart is the guru in this area, Gorka gave him a shout out, until Larry is worried I won't be. Look I get it, don't be complacent, he is trying to get people to the poles, I'd say let the Trump-Rally's do it, they are doing fine on their own...

Confidential sources.

At one time before the commie loving democrats and their only slightly less evil RINOs dragged the country to the far left, we had this thing about being able to confront your accusers.

Is informant the right word? Is inserting an antagonist to setup a "compromising" situation a better description?

The Tower meeting might be a good example. The travels of Papadopolis might be another.

Dobbs of Fox Business is the king of blab. He invites visitors so he can talk over them.

I agree with everything you have said except I am not into Street Rods.

On a side note, I have 200+ hours in a J-3 Cub.

Those who don’t want to be leftist heroes are afraid to do anything that would offend those who do.
