The next two weeks should be fascinating as we watch the deep state implode after the release of the FISA memo following President Trump's State of the Union Address. How our law makers respond to the blatant treason that will be exposed will determine whether this nation will survive or not. Hopefully, prison terms (if not firing squads) will soon be the order of the day for many of the treasonous bastards that make up the deep state.
How do you explain this fact? “Nunes, as well as Gaetz and King, all voted in favor of expanding surveillance authorities authorized under Section 702 of FISA earlier this month. They cast their votes while at the same time telling the public that FISA is terribly abused by the FBI and the Justice Department.”
Here's how; Nobody had a clue that this big of a scandal could be happening behind America's back.Quote:

Which is why the government shouldn’t implement things like section 702 that give such broad discretion to agencies without judicial review.Quote:

I think it is more likely that the Trump wingnuts will just misunderstand the memo and overreact to it as suggested by the article in Wired. The rest of the world will recognize it as another Nunes’ effort to do Trump’s dirty work and create another political distraction.Quote:

The only Russia collusion that has been found is with the democrats, I guess Mueller is saving them to interview last. No collusion found with any republicans.
So far the investigation has already resulted in the arrest and guilty plea of several Republicans.Quote:

People plead guilty all the time when the FBI is involved. If the FBI says you lied in an interview or even accuses you of lying, you are screwed. No way to get out of it. I'm not saying they didn't lie, but that is what they were accused of and knew it was best to just accept, protect their families, and move on. Like I said, it happens all the time.Quote:

A source confirmed to Fox News Andrew McCabe is taking "terminal leave" – effectively taking vacation until he reaches his planned retirement in a matter of weeks. As such, he will not be reporting to work at the FBI anymore.
FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR ANDREW MCCABE SUDDENLY QUITS
Trump had blasted official for accepting $700,000 from Hillary for wife during email probe
Published: 32 mins ago
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has reportedly resigned from his position, effective today.
The news comes just days after it was revealed McCabe’s name appeared in the GOP memo alleging surveillance abuse of Trump campaign officials during the Obama administration. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and former FBI Director James Comey were also named in the memo.
McCabe’s resignation also comes just after government watchdog Judicial Watch revealed the FBI had refused to turn over text messages belonging to McCabe.
NBC News reports that McCabe will stay on the FBI’s payroll on “terminal leave” until he is officially eligible for retirement in March.
McCabe, who took charge of the FBI after President Trump fired Comey in early 2017 and before the Senate confirmed Christopher Wray’s nomination to lead the federal agency, had planned to retire from the FBI by March. But his sudden resignation Monday came as a surprise to many.
President Trump has blasted McCabe in recent weeks and months, particularly concerning his actions during the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
As WND reported, McCabe’s wife received more than $700,000 in campaign donations for her failed state senate campaign from two PACs, including one controlled by a Hillary Clinton ally. Still, McCabe refused to recuse himself from the Clinton email investigation until just one week before the presidential election.
In July 2017, Trump tweeted: “Problem is that the acting head of the FBI & the person in charge of the Hillary investigation, Andrew McCabe, got $700,000 from H for wife!”

http://www.wnd.com/files/2018/01/Trump-McCabe-TW1.jpgA
And in December, Trump tweeted: “How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?”

If Rosenstein gets fired, will mueller's investigation be voided and terminated, since it was Rosenstein that appointed Mueller. Rosenstein was the main guy in the insurance plan. I wonder if his name is on that FISA warrant?
Probably but even without it I really don't think Mueller's investigation sees the light of day.Quote:

The Republicans on the intelligence committee are the swamp. They just voted to publish partisan opinions (propaganda) of their spin of the facts underlying alleged FISA abuses without letting FBI or DOJ see it, most of them not even seeing the background facts that Nunes (a Trump transition team official) is propagandizing on, and voting against the Dems version of the memo that was a critique of the shortcomings of the Nunes memo.Quote:

God darn, goosey! How is it possible you can be wrong ALL THE TIME?!!! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. One would think you would be accidently correct...time to time. But, nope, not so far.
Quote from your stupid post: "without letting FBI or DOJ see it."
Really? You want to stick to that absolutely STUPID contention? Go ahead and retract that statement.
Hint: McCabe was let go AFTER the FBI Director Chris Wray saw the memo.
But, of course, as you posted "without letting the FBI.."
Also, the memo was available to ANY member of Congress to read if they wanted to see it. That is ANY member, including the 'craps. Of course, in her typical lunatic manner, Pelosi says the memo is inaccurate even while admitting SHE HAS NOT SEEN IT! She of the infamous "we have to pass the bill so we can see what's in it."
You are right. Apart from sharing the memo with the guy Trump installed to direct the FBI and who has been part of the FBI for all of a hot minute, everything else I said is dead on.Quote:

What the FBI is saying is the same thing I was saying. This is just a piece of Republican propaganda to provide cover to Trump and it isn’t even trying to present the facts that would undermine the conclusions that Nunes is hoping people will draw from it. It is purposefully misleading, and it is essentially selective declassification motivated purely for political gain.Quote:

They say it uses cherry-picked facts assembled with little or no context and could do lasting damage to faith in federal law enforcement.”
You didn’t have to be terribly prescient to forsee Republicans creating this specific distraction. This is a recycle of what Nunes did just before pretending to recuse himself on the matter. He is still a Trump surrogate. He just keeps sinking lower and lower each time around, and is willing to try to destroy good institutions all for Trump’s personal gain. Trump will destroy America if given enough time.Quote:

Of course the FBI and DOJ is running scared. The current FBI peeps say nothing is wrong with the memo.
Is that what the memo says? I haven’t read it. It is Nunes’s opinion that it was illegal? Or is he just presenting sparse facts that make it look illegal without presenting the other facts that would show that it was legal?Quote:

What cover for Trump.. on the Russia thing?? Trump has constitutional right to fire Comey. He has constitutional right to fire Mueller. He has constitutional right to Pardon Flynn, or anyone else he chooses to. Trump has constitutional right to order Comey to halt Flynn investigation. None of these things I mentioned are illegal.Quote:

I am more concerned about a section of FISA that allows agencies to do surveillance without getting a warrant from a judge. Section 702 allows the IC to spy on Americans transnational communications (email and phone) as long as the “target” is foreign. By the way, this appears to be the section that allowed some intel to get collected on Trump’s campaign.Quote:
Originally Posted by DawgyNWindow
The thing is this section doesn’t even require the surveillance to be “contemporaneous” with the communications. Instead, the agencies collect tons of data (including stuff not relating to actual then-known “targets”) and then do “backside” searches.
So, again, if you truly believed the FBI is or can be used for improper political purposes then you wouldn’t support such an expansion of a loophole that allows the IC to largely get around the warrant requirement and infringe American constitutional rights.
Sure, he can fire who he wants. But he doesn’t have a constitutional right to obstruct justice or engage in conspiracy to commit a crime.Quote:

Bush started a lot of this and it made me sick then as well. Obama exploited it for political purposes (which you could expect from any sleaze bag schooled in Chicago politics).
In my opinion, the terrorists pretty much won when we passed all this junk. You can say "go about your business as usual" as much as you want, but business as usual for me was not having some guy's hand in my crotch at the airport.
Hopefully, President Trump will release the FISA memo tomorrow and it will become clear to everyone just how corrupt the people who've been running the FBI and the DOJ were. I hope to see EVERY single one of those corrupt yahoos go to jail, regardless of who they are or what political part they're affiliated with.
Only Trump supporters will care because Nunes has no credibility left with anyone else.Quote:

The DOJ and admin had been scolded by the FISA court months before the "We need to spy on Trump" request. They were giving the needed information to the court in order to get the warrants, but the reasons turned out to be political. It happened many times with Obama, Holder, and Lynch. This is from a year ago...Quote:

Under the scenario where only Nunes memo gets reported, less-informed Americans might be led to believe that someone acted unlawfully because a warrant shouldn’t have been granted purely on the basis of x. The omission of the rebuttal, by omitting material facts, can be misleading at best.

A date that will live in infamy for the Democrat Party, as well as the date that will forever be remembered as the day that President Donald J. Trump successfully destroyed the deep state, Washington DC establishment. Our nation has never experienced anything like what we're all about to witness. Pray for the peaceful transition of power as control of our nation is finally wrested from that DC establishment and put back into the hands of the people of this country. I thank God for what I believe is his divine intervention in saving our nation from those that would have destroyed it.
God Bless President Trump, and God Bless America!

I am all for reducing the powers they have to spy on Americans entirely, because they cannot be trusted. Beware the military industrial complex and the entrenched bureaucracy.
