All of this is an attempt to have a real conversation, and put the partisanship stuff aside. I'm not a partisan, I don't think you are either. None of this is meant to be combative or attacking of you

How much of what Deranged Rhino posted here YEARS ago has turned out to be accurate (so far)?   What's the score between Deranged Rhino and Tibs (or any of those other ****heads)?

I don't think there's any doubt that this is the case.  The question to me is when did it get ramped up to be used for political ends?

You mean Bush senior...when he was with Reagan, trying to become president by any means. I mean he was CIA...

while i'm sure there was spying going on, i don't believe they had the capabilities to surveil to those extents back then. certainly not the ones afforded by the cover of the Patriot Act.

wrong Bush

 

the 1st Bush, former head of the CIA, started spying on a massive scale

However, it was illegal and behind the scenes

 

The Patriot Act under Bush 2 legalized it, for the good of the country

I'll keep repeating this because it gets lost in the conversations. PATRIOT created very few NEW authorities for the Feds.  All it did was consolidate existing rules spread out over dozens of laws & regulations into a single huge act.

Bullschiff... Spying inside the government can go back at least to the days (and there were a lot of them) of J Edgar Hoover.

Former CIA Director John Brennan personally edited a crucial section of the intelligence report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and assigned a political ally to take a lead role in writing it after career analysts disputed Brennan's take that Russian leader Vladimir Putin intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump clinch the White House, according to two senior U.S. intelligence officials who have seen classified materials detailing Brennan’s role in drafting the document.

The explosive conclusion Brennan inserted into the report was used to help justify continuing the Trump-Russia “collusion” investigation, which had been launched by the FBI in 2016.

...

RealClearInvestigations has learned that one of the CIA operatives who helped Brennan draft the ICA, Andrea Kendall-Taylor, financially supported Hillary Clinton during the campaign and is a close colleague of Eric Ciaramella, identified last year by RCI as the Democratic national security “whistleblower" whose complaint led to Trump’s impeachment, ending in Senate acquittal in January.

The two officials said Brennan, who openly supported Clinton during the campaign, excluded conflicting evidence about Putin’s motives from the report, despite objections from some intelligence analysts who argued Putin counted on Clinton winning the election and viewed Trump as a “wild card.”

 

There is A LOT in the article. Read it.

Wouldn't the E&O insurance be null and void due to bad and illegal acts? I don't see nuthin' about criminal acts of sedition Professional Liability Insurance.  🤷‍♂️

Unless this "insurance" *wink*wink*nudge*nudge* is like a book deal and simply a way to pay off people who do the bidding of their higher-ups?

I think the insurance can only be used to protect from civil liability.  Not criminal.  So if they get sued the insurance company pays.  If they get indicted... they go to jail.

>>> 13 Page interview <<<
 

FBI official on Mueller team said Flynn prosecution had 'get Trump' attitude, collusion probe was 'not there'
FBI official William Barnett was assigned to lead the bureau's original investigation into Michael Flynn
 

An FBI official who served on Robert Mueller’s team said he believed the special counsel’s prosecution of former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn was part of an attitude to “get Trump,” and that he did not wish to pursue a Trump-Russia collusion investigation as it was “not there" and considered it to be a "dead end."
 

FBI agent William J. Barnett made the comments during an interview on Sept. 17 at the Justice Department, before Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeffrey Jensen, who was tapped by Attorney General Bill Barr to review the case against Flynn. Jensen has joined U.S. Attorney John Durham’s team in his review of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. Those comments have surfaced in new government documents.
 

</snip>
 

“Barnett thought the case theory was ‘supposition on supposition,’” the 302 stated, and added that the “predication” of the Flynn investigation was “not great,” and that it “was not clear” what the “persons opening the case wanted to ‘look for or at.’”
 

After six weeks of investigating, Barnett said he was “still unsure of the basis of the investigation concerning Russia and the Trump campaign working together, without a specific criminal allegation.”
 

</snip>
 

Barnett, though, told investigators that he believed that Flynn’s position as White House national security adviser in the incoming Trump administration “offered an opportunity for the FBI to conduct the interview without alerting any suspicion and Flynn would see such an interview as being standard procedure.”
 

The 302 stated that Barnett ran the request to interview Flynn “up the chain,” but said the request was denied, and described the FBI’s investigation into Flynn as “top down”--meaning that “direction concerning the investigation was coming from senior officials," specifically then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who Barnett believed was “directing” the Flynn investigation.
 

Barnett, at the time, said that he believed the investigation was “problematic and could result in an inspector general investigation.”
