.....
It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele's "reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings" and the FBI has determined him to be "reliable" and was "unaware of any derogatory information pertaining" to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump.

That's a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump-Russia collusion was blatantly false.
.....
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and ranking member of its Subcommittee on Government Operations, told me late Thursday he had confirmed with U.S. officials that Kavalec's memo was forwarded to the FBI in the Oct. 13, 2016, email.

"This once again shows officials at the FBI and (Department of Justice) DOJ were well aware the dossier was a lie -- from very early on in the process all the way to when they made the conscious decision to include it in a FISA application," he said. "The fact that Christopher Steele and his partisan research document were treated in any way seriously by our Intelligence Community leaders amounts to malpractice."

definitely explains the unwavering smugness and condescension.

So they paid Steele 1+ million dollars for some made up BS. I need that job. I can write up a complete BS fan fiction about someone... Get paid millions of dollars, AND the police, FBI, WHOEVER can then use that as a basis of a case?

Doesn't seem to legal. I hope they fry.

If Comey doesn't get indicted then My faith in the criminal justice system can never be restored. The whole lot of em should be prosecuted, but Comey to me stands out as a criminal willing to go the extra mile for his political allies.

Even when he temporarily reopened the Hillary email investigation he only did it in my view to secure that laptop (Weiner). God only knows what was on it. The rumors I heard about what the NYPD found on it were pretty wild. From what I heard it caused an open revolt. Where did Comey's FBI put that laptop anyway? I'm sure we'll never know as with all things related to Clinton.

The bigger news is the attorney, James M. Cole was Obama's Deputy Attorney General of the United States from 2010-15. Wonder what he did in classified communications intercepts to have the DOJ move to disqualify a former DAG from representing a Chinese intelligence front company?

Lost in all of the noise is this tid-bit from Solomon:

Quote:

But it is almost certain the FBI knew of Steele's contact with State and his partisan motive. That's because former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland says she instructed her staff to send the information they got from Steele to the bureau immediately and to cease contact with the informer because "this is about U.S. politics, and not the work of not the business of the State Department, and certainly not the business of a career employee who is subject to the Hatch Act."

To her credit, that synapse fired and she realized that the Steele Dossier was political and not an intelligence product. State Department deals in intel and counter-intel all of the time. Part of their mission and they work alongside the CIA and FBI and exchange information as warranted.

But this was too hot of a potato and she wanted nothing to do with it, nor any of her subordinates to even talk with Steele anymore, specifically because of the Hatch Act. That's freakin' huge.

Although some might want to argue that the FBI didn't share her concerns nor was even aware of her concerns before the initial application, they would have been by the time of the first renewal.

But back to the Comey revelation last night that Obama did not push hard on the Russian efforts to interfere because of political implications. Was that Comey's way of saying Obama told the FBI to stand down? Part of Obama's flexibility, perhaps?

We know some of the cyber intel guys who were working on countering Russian efforts were told to stand down. (Maybe drcrinum can find that article?)

Point being, Obama left a lot of fingerprints. His White House was enlisted to pressure DOJ's Stu Evans to sign off on the Carter Page FISA warrant. He requested a briefing in September 2016 regarding Russian efforts and wanted to know "everything that we are doing," according to Lisa Page. He was in the meeting in January 2017 before Trump's inauguration memorialized by Susan Rice's infamous email to herself wherein it was discussed the witholding of information about the Russian investigation from Trump. (Well, no s***, Sherlock, no one at that meeting ever wanted all of this crap to come out.)

Evelyn Farkas, of DOD, said as much in March 2017. "If they knew how we," got that information....

Just incredible how arrogant all of these people are. With Victoria Nuland being the one lone voice of reason.

True. A career diplomat could spot BS that the FBI and DOJ could not.

And now, thanks to a FOIA, of all things, Horowitz is targeting how the FBI and DOJ obtained the Carter Page FISA warrant and renewals. If I were him, I'd call John Solomon and Sara Carter and ask for a sit down.

Remember where such an investigation will lead--straight to the Obama White House. Lisa Page's "higher level push".

Wonder who in the Obama admin is going to fall on the sword. Lynch probably.

We don't know who they met with in the White House, yet. But there should be visitor logs that Horowitz can match up with the dates of her texts and the persons attending, in particular Sally Yates and Stu Evans.

I wonder if all of this ties into Obama's rental "command center" house in DC where Valerie Jarrett keeps a spare bedroom.

Was the point of the late game FISA stuff to direct copies of whatever was obtained to those people to selectively leak/pass along in the name of partisan politics?

They won't get close to Obama, but if they make this a huge part of his legacy and hang it around his neck (and publicize the crap out of it), I'll at least be able to smile about it.

It's no longer a rental. He bought it. Shouldn't be that hard to find out.

Sorry but I am not home, running around with grandchildren.

One note regarding Nuland: Judicial Watch has an FOIA requesting communications between Nuland & key officials of the FBI & DOJ; it's over a year old and has not come to fruition. Nuland certainly would have greased the skids to the FBI regarding Steele's communications and reports...but we don't know to whom in the FBI Kavalec sent her memo. My guess is McCabe, but....

No problem. Have fun!

"fall"????? Pushed maybe, but not fall.

Personally, I'm not convinced ANYONE from Obongo's administration is patriotic enough to take the fall. Rats don't care about the legacy of other rats.

Agree. These are "pointing fingers" types of people. Comey threw Page, Strozok, and McCabe under the bus at his Town Hall yesterday.. There will be NO protection of one another - it will be protection of thee only.

Don't forget the shade he threw on Obama, too. As much as I loathe Comey, give him an immunity deal if we have to and have him start singing. He'd need to make a Queen for a Day proffer first, of course.

Still think Lindsay should have Mueller appear before his committee before Mueller testifies before any House committees.

President Obama faced a very difficult choice. The No. 1 goal for the Russians is to damage our democracy and undermine faith in our electoral process," Comey responded. "If he makes an announcement that the Russians are coming for the election, has he just accomplished their goal for them and has he given Donald Trump an excuse to say, 'Obama fixed the election'? So I get why he struggled with it."

What a crock of s***! If Hillary won, as was widely expected, who would continue to care what Trump said?

Should it really matter what Trump would have said? To uphold our elections should be #1 priority. It is the ONLY say we get in our government as citizens of this country.

And it obviously didn't work anyway.

That's the Fugee nobody knew about

But what Comey was really saying is that the FBI wasn't investigating it diligently because of Obama's political decision. And he went along with it...for political reasons. But the FBI is above putting politics before their central mission, right, Jimmy?

"I don't think he's telling the truth, is the bottom line here," he said. "The former FBI director is not a stupid man and he's acting awfully stupid...Remember when he came before our task force at the end of the last Congress, this is a man who couldn't answer a question. I think, you know, over 100 times said things like, 'I don't recall' so whenever put under oath on a body like the legislative body of Congress, the guy couldn't answer a question. He could do a town hall and make a lot of things up but look I think Mr. Comey is in a lot of trouble and he should be. He made a mess of the FBI."

Me thinks Comey was one of his criminal referrals to Barr.

The above is a tweet from Sergei Millian who has surfaced following disclosure of his name several times in Kavalec's hand written notes from her meeting with Steele & associate.

Millian has not been in hiding; he has just been flying under the radar. I have a Twitter 'friend' who DMs me, & she has periodically been in touch via Twitter DM with Millian. He claims innocence; says that either Steele & Co. mistook him for someone else & 'framed' him, or Steele just chose to blame an innocent person to cover his tracks.

Lindsay is taking the Kavalec revelation seriously.
