The Deep State criminals fast tracked it, went around channels because they were out to get Trump and that’s all that mattered to them.
They should all rot in prison.
In this case more of a "crooked fashion."
When will anyone with authority “act”. The haste before the election proves it was purely political. People need “perp walks”.
They had to have the warrants before the election.
Every day counted.
Plus, she may have put an end to the whole thing.
Carter Page was/is an FBI INFORMANT that was put in the campaign to SPY!! That’s the reason NO charges were ever considered for him!
This should be investigated.
Why is the SES even involved in anything like this? This is a law-related action, not personnel-related.
What an absolute tire fire this government is right now (not blaming Trump, BTW).
Exactly....if it came in in the typical linear fashion she would have reviewed it, and potentially questioned it. When your boss's boss signs off on it, the train has already left the station. You simply sign it and not even give it a second thought.
I do and don't blame her. Yes, she should have as a matter of policy reviewed it and questioned it where appropriate, though that may have ended her career right then.
They cut her out of the usual approval protocols.
who was the deputy attorney general at the time?
This shows that McCabe, Yates, and Baker conducted their own review of the material prior to sign off. They cannot blame "poor staff work" for their signatures.
Over the past few weeks, McCabe has been silent. I think he has cut a deal. This article confirms he is exposed to criminal prosecution.

She could give a damn....
IIRC, Comey said he never read it.
I’m not sure whether Comey read it or not. Regardless, there will be a paper trail, usually in the form of a staff summary sheet, which normally has the dates that people signed. If Comey signed the staff summary sheet last, then he may have a case that he signed based on staff recommendation.
Carter Page was an Annapolis grad and a Naval officer. He spoke fluent Russian. I can’t help noticing that he has the resume of a CIA Moscow station chief. And by shear coincidence (I’m sure) he was stationed in Moscow for several years.
Then he comes back to the US and is immediately sucked into an FBI counterintelligence investigation. No sooner does he beat the rap on that and then he’s immediately sucked into another counterintelligence investigation that is unrelated to the first one. What an unlucky guy.
Any scrutiny at all would have been more than what they had before.
trish anderson left the fbi and joined covington and burling, where eric holder now works. stuart eizenstat from the clinton era also works there. covington and burling represented big tobacco in washington, dc.
letting anderson off the hook just perpetuates the denial of responsibility within the deep state swamp. after nuremberg, “i was just doing my job” is not supposed to be a good enough excuse for crimes performed under the color of law.
and anyway anderson is a top lawyer. signing off on a fisa order that could result in wiretapping the future president without reading it just does not parse... imho.
if nothing else, ... rico.
