OIG FISA Report Discussion and the real reason for the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid

Although not mentioned in the EC, at the
time, FBI officials involved in opening the investigation
had reason to believe that Russia may have been
connected to the Wikileaks disclosures that occurred
earlier in July 2016, and were aware of information
regarding Russia's efforts to interfere with the 2016
U.S. elections. These officials, though, did not become
aware of Steele's election reporting until weeks later
and we therefore determined that Steele's reports
played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening.

What, actually, is your objection to people posting tweets?

Many times they contain links to either news articles or to source documents. Very often, tweets contain information that NOT being reported by the media.  Other times (like with memes), when they don't they're just reflective of a point or opinion that someone wants to make.

 

 

 

 

He's just a broken mind. Nothing more.

We concluded that the failures described above and in this report represent serious performance failures by the supervisory and non-supervisory agents with responsibility over the FISA applications. These failures prevented OI from fully performing its gatekeeper function and deprived the decision makers the opportunity to make fully informed decisions. Although some of the factual misstatements and omissions we found in this review were arguably more significant than others, we believe t hat all of them taken together resulted in FISA applications that made it appear that the information supporting probable cause was stronger than was actually the case.

 

We identified at least 17 significant errors or omissions in the Carter Page FISA applications, and many additional errors in the Woods Procedures. These errors and omissions resulted from case agents providing wrong or incomplete information to OI and failing to flag important issues for discussion. While we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence of intentional misconduct on the part of the case agents who assisted OI in preparing the applications, or the agents and supervisors who performed the Woods Procedures, we also did not receive satisfactory explanations for the errors or problems we identified. In most instances, t he agents and supervisors told us that they either did not know or recall why the information was not shared with OI, that the failure to do so may have been an oversight, that they did not recognize at t he time the relevance of t he information to the FISA application, or that they did not believe the missing information to be significant . On this last point, we believe that case agents may have improperly substituted their own judgments in place of the judgment of OI, or in place of the court, to weigh the probative value of the information.

 

Basically, a bunch of people ***** up, and engaged in wishful thinking.

 

Whole lotta nothing.

Once Admiral Rodgers dried up the ability for pre coup people to illegally obtain information by domestic spying the pre coup people went to the FISA court to get a warrant on Carter Page. It was turned down until they put the Dossier into the request. They then obtained a warrant. This was sworn to by Andy McCabe.

But they knew a collusion with Russia when they saw it 

 

Oh, shut the ***** up, you ***** dumbass.  The report says they didn't even have enough suspicion of a Russian connection to investigate it.  And you're still going to pretend "Russian collusion" is a fact?

The occasional Tweet makes sense. Some posters spam the board with Tweets. 

 

"We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations."

 

Bad day for DR, but keep the narratives alive! Something awful might still happen to the country.  

Is that your informed opinion after reading and analyzing the nearly 500 page report?

I haven't had the chance to review the report yet.  How many minutes ago was it released?

Seems like you got to the nub of the conclusion pretty quickly.

Ask yourself -- or anyone who still bothers to pay attention to the nonsense JA writes -- if he's as objective as he claims, why is he rushing to spike the ball without reading the report. It's ***** damning and destroys the narrative that's been pumped into people's minds for two years. 

 

He's making definitive conclusions already -- why? Because he's broken. He's not honest, he doesn't care about finding truth -- he just wants his own opinions confirmed. 

 

He's an asshat. Not worth the time.

It's in the first couple of pages of the report. I'm on page 6 - how about you?

This is gonna be a slog. This is one of the rare occasions I wish I was an attorney and/or knew federal procedures as I understand what seems like unimportant or insignificant words to a layperson can mean "you're in a heap a trouble" under the law.

You do realize the report leads with its conclusion, don't you? I, uh, quoted it. 

 

DR will spin this into a win. Have no fear. The next big thing will be the REAL big thing. He's serious this time.

Must of been a fast 500 pages. But he's definitely the only one coming in with a bias.

8. The Department's Office of Professional Responsibility should review our findings related to the conduct of Department attorney Bruce Ohr for any action it deems appropriate. Ohr's current supervisors in the Department's Criminal Division should also review our findings related to Ohr's performance for any action they deem appropriate.

 

9. The FBI should review the performance of all employees who had responsibility for the preparation, Woods review, or approval of the FISA applications, as well as the managers, supervisors, and senior officials in the chain of command of the Carter Page investigation, for any action deemed appropriate.

 

 

Looks like some people are going to get it in the back of the neck for their stupidity, though.

 

But not Ohr.  He's going to get ass-*****.

I made one definitive conclusion. You will spin this into good news for your narrative. I'll stick with that.

  The benefit of having people namely his handlers do the heavy lifting.  Tibs/ JA/ Gary Busey is certainly having his support team run their asses off for the supposed benefit of swaying the opinion of a few sports fans in one of the smaller markets of the NFL.

One interesting thing to come out of this that's going to be completely glossed over in the "Orange Man Bad" debate: the FISA application process had really weak safeguards.  One would hope that a secret surveillance warrant process would have stronger requirements for issuing the warrant...but apparently, agents could easily cherry-pick the evidence they wanted to present with little in the way of supervision or oversight.

 

That's encouraging.  Just what I want in a secret surveillance warrant process.
