Former AAG Matthew Whitaker Discusses Upcoming IG Report on FISA Abuse and Trump Campaign Surveillance… full title

...

Following leaked revelations that former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain a Title-1 surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page to conduct political espionage against the Trump campaign, former AAG Matthew Whitaker discusses the IG investigation and upcoming IG report.

Whitaker notes the bigger issues are how the FISA process generally has been abused and potentially long-term ramifications. It is also worth remembering it wasn’t just “wiretaps” that were gained, the FBI requested and received full Title-1 surveillance authority including: wiretaps, electronic surveillance, the use of bugs and tracking devices, physical surveillance, electronic and satellite geolocation surveillance and much more. The FBI requested a type of surveillance generally reserved for tracking suspected terrorists.

When Mr. Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain the warrant he was working under the guidance of FBI supervisory agent Peter Strzok. “Political Espionage“.

November 22. Not much has changed in the intel community since 1963. They no longer use a convertible. Now they use DOJ and fake intel. It’s much easier to neutralize an uncooperative President that way.

They might not be using a convertible but I’m sure they’re seriously wanting to use one.

and, as Carter Page said on Fox today, no-one has bothered to interview him, just as he wasn’t interviewed by the Mueller team of vipers. funny, isn’t it?

I read here that Clinesmith altered the application for a renewal. What about the lies and misrepresentations Comey made to get the first one?

“full Title-1 surveillance authority including: wiretaps, electronic surveillance, the use of bugs and tracking devices”

Dang, they were super worried about what the president would uncover and had to keep tabs on him at all times.

Horowitz will say X, Y, and Z - but it had no impact or meaning.

Training recommended.

So why did the leaker choose this particular point? If we assume the "leaker" chose the BIGGEST issue they could find to leak....it doesn't sound like this report is going to add up to much. Unless it's "leaker bait", or "MSM bait", I mean why this point, and who and why now?

I want red meat, but I'm gettin' fluff.

Carter Page was the Rosetta stone,that Title one classification was the key,they used that classification on page in order to spy on every contact page had ever had in his life,particularly Trump Staff,but the key was it also allowed the FBI to do the same thing to all of Those contacts entire lives,all their contacts and to spy on them which is exactly what happened,there is no way they needed to classify it as Title 1

I agree. Barr made that speech for a reason(s).

I’m optimistic.
