drobeski 3,061 Posted February 2, 2018 Remember snuffles proclaiming Steele as credible ? official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 753 Posted February 2, 2018 Rep Mark Meadows sums it all up well with the following series of tweets "THREAD: Because through all the memo news and headlines, its critical to remember why this issue is important and why it should matter to everyday Americans. What this issue is all about: whether the Department of Justice and FBI, under President Obama, abused their surveillance authority against American citizens and political opponents. Put another way: was the Obama DOJ weaponized to spy on the Trump campaign? Remember, in general, the DOJ and FBI spying on American citizens should automatically be met with MAJOR skepticism. Thats what the Fourth Amendment is designed to protect against. When those American citizens are ALSO political opponents? It should raise even more red flags. So, take that principle, and look at what happened in this case. The DOJ spied on Carter Page, an American citizen. Red flag. Carter Page was also part of the Trump campaign. Double red flag. It should automatically raise questions. ... Ok, so I guess people got the idea that Carter Page is the subject of the memo from Mark Meadows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 753 Posted February 2, 2018 Rep Mark Meadows sums it all up well with the following series of tweets ... So the bottom line is this: if, in 2016, the DOJ and FBI used an unverified, Clinton/DNC paid-for dossier to spy on American citizens (and political opponents) in the Trump campaign, that is as wrong as it gets. If that happened, Americans deserve to know about it. Period. ... "If"? If? I thought the memo explains what happened? Or no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted February 2, 2018 Ok, so I guess people got the idea that Carter Page is the subject of the memo from Mark Meadows. The subject of the memo is the FISA abuse and who knows what else. Carter page is a footnote to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 720 Posted February 2, 2018 At some point it's stops being coincidence.

SaintsInDome2006 753 Posted February 2, 2018 AND use of knowingly unverified infomation before the FISA court. Ok, but again, as to whom? I am only dwelling on this because if the DOJ took the dossier, and nothing else, and plunked that down in front of the FISC for a warrant on Trump himself or "Trump Tower" (ie actually appearing on the warrant) I would agree with you. But if the DOJ took a variety of corroborating evidence, which could include (among many other things) information gleaned from the dossier but independently verified (yaknow, because it turned out to be true), on a particular person who was previously thought to have contact with foreign spies, then no I likely am not going to agree with you.

Sho Nuff 720 Posted February 2, 2018 FF, the whole thing is about the Carter Page Fisa. Yes and the first complaint thatbtje application did not mention the dnc and Fusion. Yeah...seems irrelevant to information that may have been already verified as true about Page. The whole thing appears to be about trying to discredit Steele and nothing else. This is, as I expected, extremely underwhelming...and no way the Trump crew here will agree. So sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's smoking gun after smoking gun against numerous govt. officials in there. No, that's not what I'm taking from this. I'm just pointing out that he is not a footnote as you claimed but the whole subject matter of the memo. I'd be glad to discuss my takeaway from the memo. By primary takeaway is that if the claims are serious then I would expect that Gates will not seek a plea deal but will instead seek to have indictment overturned immediately. Same goes with Manafort. Do you agree with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
