Hardcore troubadour 16,007 Posted February 4, 2018 Nunes is the ranking member on the committee, that's why he authored it. And they say Gowdy read it as if it's a bad thing. I think the term"contracted out" was used. As if Nunes pushed it off on an underling. It's dishonest. Any reasonably person knows this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 748 Posted February 4, 2018 Sure and perhaps his version would be a tad different? I don't know. Dems may hate Gowdy but the guy is a highly skilled lawyer. Nunes has a degree in agriculture. Actually I'm not really sure why he's chairman of House Intel much less on it. He doesn't appear to have any legal, security or military experience.

IMO a bipartisan report when the committee is finished its hearings and investigation would be optimal. This is the opposite, not only is it not bipartisan it's not even a report. In the cover letter Nunes makes clear it represents the "opinion" of "the authors" i.e. Nunes and his staffers, not even the committee majority.

SenatorRock 708 Posted February 4, 2018 I was right about Nunes not seeing the documentation (younclaimed Inwas a liar and wrong) Â Â Â I'll concede this Sho, I misunderstood your original comment, that Nunes did not see the underlying documents. I assumed you were claiming that Nunes did not review any of the underlying documents to the memo. Â Â There were multiple parts of the memo. FISA application was the overall theme (and certainly the actual application was one of the underlying documents), but not the only part with underlying documents. Â McCabe testimony was another part. Â Dossier was another part. Â Yahoo article was another part. Â Communications between Steele and Bruce Ohr. Ohr's wife, and her role with Fusion GPS and the dossier. Â Â There has been a ton of disinformation and misinformation put out on all platforms over the last few weeks. For example, many news outlets were pushing the talking point that "Nunes did not even read the underlying documents" and that phrase went viral. The intent was to discredit Nunes or the content of the memo. Â A little digging reveals that: Â -Nunes had Gowdy review the FISA application (along with 2 investigators) and report their notes back to the committee, because that is what the rules allow. The HIC did not get a stack of 1000 pages sent to their office and Nunes was just too lazy to read through them, as the talking point implies. Gowdy has extensive experience as a federal prosecutor, so it makes sense that Nunes would send him to review the application. Â Rather than explain this, many media outlets just ran with the talking point "Nunes did not read the underlying documents, OMG!" Â Â As much as I give you Sho, surely you can see the difference between the "talking point" and what really happened and why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SenatorRock 708 Posted February 4, 2018 Other questions for those calling out the FBI and FISA stuff. -Did the memo even attempt to challenge that the warrant was based in probable cause? It did not appear to challenge probable cause at all. Â -The case that is being made is that the FISA warrant was initially issued and then renewed on bogus information. Either the judge was complicit or incompetent, and the FBI/DOJ members who had their names attached were complicit. This memo is just the first. There will be a series of memos released from House, Senate, DOJ/Sessions, and IG Horowitz. Many will call this "insane, conspiracy, etc" but that is the big picture. Expect it to take months, probably well into the summer. Maybe it is all a distraction, maybe it is legit. We will find out.

What was the recommended reform? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SenatorRock 708 Posted February 4, 2018 No they didn't. It's an interesting element and I'm not sure anyone understood that piece until Nunes said it to Baier. I am rather curious though why if Gowdy was best qualified to view the material he was not considered best qualified to write about it. Â Gowdy has experience as a prosecutor, worked in US Attorneys office in SC, and was solicitor for several years. Nunes was a cattle farmer turned politician. Gowdy's skill set was well suited to reviewing FISA applications and knowing what to be looking for. Â Remember, they did not get a batch of documents to take home and review. Could not take pictures or make copies either. All they could do was take notes. If you have one shot, send your best man for the job. Â Â Nunes is on the Gang of Eight so presumably he knows where the bodies are buried. He has had a story to tell since last spring and this memo is the first step towards getting that story to the public in a legal and digestible way. Makes sense he is the official "author". The entire committee was briefed on the FISA application by Gowdy and his notes. Nunes says that he, Gowdy, and the 2 investigators are the ones who composed the memo. Â No matter which side of the memo you fall it is a little interesting that Gowdy announces he is not running for re-election 2 days before the memo is released. Maybe just coincidence.

Nunes own words are that he crafted or based in Gowdys notes and what Gowdy presented. Nothingbfrom Schiff included? Does that not show that its a partisan political issue from the start and not about anything more than that? Â Assume what is in the memo is true. Â Hillary/DNC oppo reseaarch provided by Russians was used to get FISA warrants to spy on Trump associates during the campaign. Â If true, heads will roll. DOJ, FBI, Obama admin, Hillary/DNC?, Steele, where does it end. Â Â Now it should make sense why Schiff, Pelosi, Comey have been so against the memo.

The memos thus far have been underwhelming ...I wouldnt expect the next to get any better. There were increased protections recommended...if have to look to find specifics. Several good articles out there though.  That is the beauty of this.  Either the dossier was the primary source in the FISA application or it was not.  Schiff knows. Gowdy knows.  Everyone else is going on either what Schiff claimed or what Gowdy claimed, and explained in the memo.   Somebody is full of ######!  And we hopefully get to find out.   Dem memo will either be non existent (bluff, never leaves committee, whatever) or Dem memo will claim dossier played minimal role.  I don't know the repercussions of lying in a memo.   Maybe the courts have to release the FISA application.  Maybe IG Horowitz gets the FISA application and answers questions in his report.    Bottom line: one side is lying and one side is telling the truth. It is a beautiful train wreck. (RIP Chris Foley).  The entire nation will find out that either:  a) The Dems and Obama admin illegally spied on a presidential campaign  The Reps got 100s of their members involved on this big conspiracy to derail the Mueller Russia probe.   I can't wait.

The media engagements with the parties swirling around the Clinton-Steele Dossier and DOJ corruption are so pervasive they cannot currently report on the story without exposing their own duplicity. Michael Isikoff found that reality yesterday when he discovered his reporting was being used by the FBI.  FBI investigator Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page have been shown in their text messages to be leaking stories from the Clinton Investigation, the Trump investigation and the Mueller investigation to journalists at Politico, The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. SEE HERE  (Source Link pdf Page #5)  Additionally, Christopher Steele has stated in U.K. court records the person in charge of the Clinton Campaigns opposition research firm, Glenn Simpson from Fusion GPS, arranged and coordinated for Mr. Steele to talk to several journalists (CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo News and Mother Jones) while Mr. Steele was also the primary source of information for the FBI investigators (including Strzok and Page):   Advertisements  Report this ad (Source page #8)  Make sure you read that full response from Christopher Steele above to see the scope of the media engagements he was conducting.  As more evidence surfaces the relationship between journalists, Fusion-GPS, Chris Steele and the medias DOJ/FBI sources begins blending together. The FBI was using media reports, which were based on Fusion-GPS pitches, to bolster its investigative documents to the FISA court:    According to the U.K records, Christopher Steele reports this September 2016 meeting with Isikoff was arranged by Glenn Simpson. According to Michael Isikoff today on his podcast, he met Christopher Steele at a Washington, D.C. hotel in Sept. 2016. They were joined by his old friend Glenn Simpson, the founder of opposition research firm Fusion GPS, who Isikoff now defines as a private investigator.  Advertisements  Report this ad So Christopher Steele was meeting with journalists, the journalists were writing articles; the FBI was leaking to media and citing articles as underlying evidence to support their counterintelligence investigations; and all of this was used to validate the investigative documents the FBI was receiving from Christopher Steele; who, along with the leaking FBI officials, was also the source of the media articles.  FUBAR! This is exponentially bonkers.  This is a circle of information, all coming from Glenn Simpson at Fusion GPS, who was the opposition research firm being financed by Hillary Clinton, along with FBI officials who were using their own leaks to validate their own investigation.  Think about the scale of the reporting, and reporting on reporting, of anonymous leaks, false leaks, lies from people with knowledge of the matter, government officials involved in the matter, people familiar with the matter, government sources etc. all going in one unified and semi-coordinated direction against the aggregate Trump administration.  Now, it actually gets even more convoluted.  Advertisements  Report this ad Christopher Steele has sworn under oath that he met with multiple journalists (at least eight organizations) in September, mid-October, and late-October 2016: at Fusions instruction. (pdf page #7)  Overlay upon that sworn admission what Glenn Simpson (Fusion-GPS) told the House Intelligence Committee while also under oath about his involvement in sharing information derived from Christopher Steele:  (Testimony pdf link, page #147)  without my knowledge and against my wishes? Huh?  Advertisements  Report this ad FBI Director James Comey admits to leaking his memos to the New York Times. FBI #2 Counterintelligence Agent and FBI Attorney Lisa Page are caught in their text messages leaking to Politico, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.  The FBI is caught, in at least one FISA application, using Yahoo media reports provided by them AND their investigative source Christopher Steele to establish a basis for FISA Title I surveillance; the most intrusive and wide-open search and surveillance authority possnible.  The Clinton Campaign is paying Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research against Donald Trump. In addition to Glenn Simpson pushing that opposition research into the media, Fusion GPS is also providing that opposition research including information from contacts with media directly to the FBI:  (pdf link page #4)  In addition to using the Fusion-GPS information to underpin their counterintelligence investigation, the FBI then turn around and leak the same opposition research information to the media to create the support for their counterintelligence investigation.  So, tell me again how the media can possibly write about this now?  The problem is not just corruption with the U.S. Justice System, the DOJ and the FBI; the problem is corruption within the media.  Were talking about thousands of hours of media TV pundits, thousands more columns written, and almost every scintilla of it based on originating intelligence sources -from the larger intelligence system- that are now being exposed as duplicitous and conspiratorial in the scale of their malicious intent.  This larger story-line has traveled in one direction. The narrative has only traveled in one direction. Each thread converging on codependent trails for collective stories all going in one direction. One big engineered narrative endlessly pushed. Think about how far the collective media have traveled with this story over the past eighteen months.  Now, in a period of a few weeks, it has become increasingly obvious the collective journey, using all that expended effort, was going in the wrong direction.  The media have fully invested themselves in eighteen months of narrative distribution in only one direction. Not a single MSM entity has questioned their travel as a result of false leaks and false sources in the totality of time they have covered the DOJ and FBI story.  Nothing within their collective need to will-an-outcome, will change the medias proximity to facts when the truthful story behind the DOJ and FBI corruption is finally exposed. The media are so far away from the place where this story ends, they have no inherent capability to even begin to travel in the opposite direction, toward the truth.  The only way they could align with the truth is to admit that virtually every scintilla of their reportage over the past 18 months was inherently false. Theres not a single media outlet capable of doing that.  Think about a New York Times, CNN, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, Yahoo News or Washington Post journalist now having to write an article deconstructing an entire foundation of lies they participated in creating.  Do we really think such a catastrophic level of flawed ideology could reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?  Impossible.

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted February 4, 2018 No...he should not have recused himself over the crap you are trying to dig up. You know who else has a history with the Clintons? Donald Trump. I mean...Im shocked that guys like Comey and Mueller and Rosenstein have had previous working relationships...no ###### Sherlock...  Given Rosenstein's clear and unchallenged history with the Clintons, Comey and Mueller he simply shouldn't be in charge of a case that contained manufactured evidence by the Clintons.  The air of impropriety combined with the fact he signed off on an extension of surveillance obtained under false pretenses taints all aspects of his involvement with this. The case from top to bottom is fruit of the poisonous tree now.  Ok here's Nunes himself confirming he did not read the underlying documents.  http://thehill.com/homenews/house/372119-nunes-admits-he-did-not-view-the-surveillance-warrant-applications-that-form?amp&__twitter_impression=true  I don't know. Dems may hate Gowdy but the guy is a highly skilled lawyer. Nunes has a degree in agriculture. Actually I'm not really sure why he's chairman of House Intel much less on it. He doesn't appear to have any legal, security or military experience.  http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/02/02/intel-committee-chairman-devin-nunes-discusses-fisa-memo-bret-baier    Nunes, who co-wrote the memo with Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), said he didn't want to release the memo, but he had an obligation to the American people when he saw FISA abuse.  I think that'll be enough of calling into question whether or not the memo is based upon the underlying evidence. If you trust Schiff's word because he's seen it, then you must trust the memo because Gowdy's seen it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted February 4, 2018 I read something last night pretty interesting and answered questions I posed earlier that no one responded to. Â So Carter Page is now identified as why they sought a surveillance warrant and if I'm not mistaken was originally sought on Oct 21st, 2016. Problem with the narrative is that Carter Page left the Trump Campaign Sept 26th, 2016 (NYT, Politico, etc...) therefore what were they doing surveillance on Trump Tower for? Page was gone nearly a whole month before. He wasn't a member of Trump Campaign at that point, wasn't on the transition team, and wasn't in the Trump Administration.

The case from top to bottom is fruit of the poisonous tree now.    http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/02/02/intel-committee-chairman-devin-nunes-discusses-fisa-memo-bret-baier     I think that'll be enough of calling into question whether or not the memo is based upon the underlying evidence. If you trust Schiff's word because he's seen it, then you must trust the memo because Gowdy's seen it.  I'm not sure the fact that Gowdy was involved is everything that you will want it to be. First of all it doesn't automatically mean that everything in the memo is 100% correct, or that Gowdy wrote every word or was involved in every piece of the memo. Sho was right when he pointed that out. - Would you agree that where there is difference between what Gowdy is saying and Nunes that the most informed person and the most qualified is Gowdy?

Â Politico says that's what concerns them? Not the facts supporting the entire Obama administration tried to rig the election to assist Hillary then tried to unseat the elected President?
