Former Trump campaign adviser denied campaign was involved in DNC hack in recorded conversationIn late October 2016, less than two weeks before the presidential election, a former adviser to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, George Papadopoulos, denied to an FBI confidential source that the campaign was involved in the circumstances surrounding the hack of the Democratic National Committee's email system, calling the idea "illegal." CBS News has now reviewed the transcript of the conversation between Papadopoulos and the confidential source working for the FBI, and has published key excerpts below. The recorded conversation between Papadopoulos and the confidential source working for the FBI was documented in the December report issued by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz into the FBI's surveillance of campaign aide Carter Page and other actions related to the FBI probe known as "Crossfire Hurricane." But the excerpts of the transcript published here provide new details about the interaction between Papadopoulos and the FBI source in the final days of the presidential campaign. Hahaha the fruit loops will be disinterested in the truth. Obama’s administration spied. Obama’s administration lied. Obama’s administration should be tried.

AG Barr: “What happened to POTUS was one of the greatest travesties in American history, no basis for this investigation, what’s even more concerning is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events... to sabotage the presidency”

Read @CBS_Herridge on newly-released information about FBI Crossfire Hurricane probe. Bottom line: They knew info in Steele dossier was likely Russian disinformation. They hid that from FISA court, investigation full speed ahead.

FBI Received Evidence Of Russian Disinformation In Steele Dossier
The FBI received evidence that Russian disinformation polluted the infamous Steele dossier, according to information declassified Friday from the Justice Department inspector general’s report of the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign. FBI officials also had concerns as far back as 2015 of dossier author Christopher Steele’s relationship to Russian oligarchs, but those were never shared with the FBI team that led the Trump investigation. https://dailycaller.com/2020/04/10/fbi-russian-disinformation-steele-dossier-trump/ ALL OVER TWITTER!

Russian Disinformation Fed the FBI’s Trump InvestigationSome answers and some new questions from newly declassified parts of an inspector general’s report.Declassified footnotes to a Justice Department inspector general report show that the Federal Bureau of Investigation team investigating members of the Trump campaign received classified reports in 2017 identifying key pieces of the Steele dossier as products of a Russian disinformation campaign. This might be only the tip of the iceberg because other recently declassified information demonstrates that even more disinformation may have been planted in Christopher Steele’s reporting.
Let that sink in. The FBI knew that at least some of its evidence against the Trump campaign, and maybe more, was likely part of a Russian disinformation campaign—evidence from a source that was “central and essential” for getting the first FISA warrant. It isn’t clear what if anything the FBI did to determine whether their investigation was based in substantial part on Russian disinformation. Yet the FBI assistant director in charge of the investigation, Bill Priestap, told the inspector general that as of May 2017 (when Robert Mueller took over as special counsel), the FBI “didn’t have any indication whatsoever” that their evidence was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. I first learned all this in late December 2019, when a member of my staff reviewed the classified version of the inspector general’s report and asked me to meet him in a secure room under the Capitol. As he walked me through the four footnotes, my immediate reaction was that the American people needed to know this information as soon as possible. My colleague Sen. Chuck Grassley and I began pressing Attorney General William Barr, and eventually acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, for full declassification of these footnotes. That’s why they’re now public. The FBI team’s handling of these intelligence reports seems consistent with how it ran the entire investigation. From the opening of the investigation, the FBI team kept accumulating exculpatory information. Yet rather than wind the investigation down, they ramped it up. Minimally intrusive open-source searches became Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants and confidential human sources targeting campaign staffers. Then it got worse. The FBI team excluded exculpatory information from its FISA application; it ignored exculpatory evidence provided by another U.S. government agency; and, when that later became an issue, an FBI attorney doctored an email to cover it up. Given all that, it’s not surprising that the FBI, on learning their evidence was the product of a Russian disinformation campaign, simply shrugged it off. As Mr. Grassley and I wrote in our declassification request to Mr. Barr, these footnotes provide “insight essential for an accurate evaluation of the entire investigation.” Consider these questions: Why did former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI general counsel James Baker refuse to have their security clearances reinstated before they were interviewed by the inspector general? Was it so they wouldn’t have to explain this information? • Which members of the FBI team reviewed these reports? Did Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, who referred to the opening of the investigation as an “insurance policy”? Did the FBI attorney who doctored the email? Did Mr. Mueller? • What, if anything, did the FBI do to follow up on these reports? • Did the FBI team have access to other reports like this? • Is this another example of the FBI team’s sloppiness, or is it sufficient to show their ignorance was willful? The Steele dossier already ranks as one of the dirtiest political tricks of all time. The Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign paid for it, laundered it through friends and allies in the Justice and State departments, and spun it into a full-blown FBI investigation of her political rival. Then, after Donald Trump was elected, it was used as a political cudgel to bludgeon his administration and set up an 18-month special counsel investigation. Now it’s been revealed the FBI had evidence that it was based in substantial part on a Russian disinformation campaign. Last month, my committee’s vote to obtain a subpoena for Andrii Telizhenko—a former Ukrainian diplomat who later worked for a U.S. Democratic political consulting firm—was delayed because of last-minute concern that information he might provide could be part of Russian disinformation (a cloak-and-dagger operation to derail that subpoena also needs to be revealed). So I’ve heard a lot of concern and outrage from my colleagues across the aisle about the perils of “foreign interference” and the need to steer well clear of anything remotely suggestive of Russian disinformation. Clearly, the FBI did not exhibit similar concern and act accordingly. It also will be interesting to see how many of my Democratic colleagues will join tenacious oversight efforts to determine how the FBI misused actual Russian disinformation. Mr. Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-disinformation-fed-the-fbis-trump-investigation-11586548963 STUNNING. WORSE THAN WATERGATE! Yet the complicit media on the left remains quiet. I wonder if they will cover the trials.

Hahaha why ignore the last four posts?
The left was wrong. Trump was spied on, framed. And now they will pretend this wasn’t bigger than watergate. This isn’t going away. I was right since day 1.

I’m curious as to what all will be declassified. The spying started in 2015, targeting Trump, Cruz, among others less so and Bernie Sanders was targeted but in different ways. The origin of the spying was 100% political. The Russia narrative didn’t exist until it had to be created to continue the political spying using the most intrusive methods available in the world.
Admiral Mike Rogers FUBAR’d the plan though in the spring of 2016. When he realized FBI “contractors” were abusing the “about queries” on the NSA system to target politicians, he shut them out of the system and started a in depth check of the system. Those conducting the targeting had to devise a new way to gain access to NSA systems. The Russia narrative is born. Carter Page was selected because he was a known quantity with ties to Russian business. He had worked for the CIA and FBI separately at different times to help them. They knew he was clean so they literally made everything up. They had to concoct it to continue the spying. They weren’t sloppy because they’re incompetent (an absurd claim if anyone makes it), they were sloppy because they didn’t believe there was any chance she’d lose. With what they were doing they figured she was guaranteed to win. It gets very complicated and will likely take years to sort out, but god willing the truth is revealed and the seditious bastards involved pay. I’m sure they will be imprisoned, but truth be told they should face a firing squad or noose. No joke, it’s that bad. What I truly want are the 30,000 emails that were destroyed while under subpoena. I want to know how China learned the identities or at least a way to identify our entire spy network that took decades and great risk to place there. We are still facing the consequences today with having had next to no truthful info on Covid, and limited human intel sources. Somehow, between 2010 and 2012, someone screwed up and they learned identities. Never mind someone’s server was wide open and had been duplicating emails back to China those years. One had his head blown off at his work while his co-workers had to watch as a warning. The rest are all dead or disappeared (dead). I’d sure like the opportunity to see those emails so they can provide evidence of guilt or exoneration. |
