Just now on Tucker Carlson, Danny Coulson fmr FBI dep asst dir, and James Kallstrom fmr FBI asst dir, in separate interviews just destroyed the FBI and DOJ. Specifically Comey and the raids on Cohen and Manafort. If there's a replay it's worth watching. It is very chilling how things have changed. It's not political at all and they didn't even mention the previous administration.
Edit to say I'm late. Haha

The latest addition to special counsel Robert Mueller's team of prosecutors contributed to Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, according to federal campaign records.

Uzo Asonye, an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is joining Mueller's stable of prosecutors to work as local counsel on the case against Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman who has been indicted on money laundering and bank fraud charges.

Asonye worked at the firm O'Melveny & Myers before joining the U.S. attorney's office in 2010. Asonye donated $900 to Clinton's presidential campaign from January to April 2008, according to Federal Election Commission records. He has not donated to any other national political campaigns since then.

Asonye is just the latest Democrat to join Mueller's team.

2. Trump campaign official Michael Caputo just revealed on TV that Robert Mueller has the emails, phone records, communications and *text messages* of everyone who worked on the campaign.

3. This is a big effen reveal that no-one is noticing.

4. Specifically that Mueller has the intercepted "text messages" of everyone involved in the campaign. THAT is the big clue. That is not easy to get. It requires a VERY specific legal authority.

5. Think and read carefully. This discovery explains *why* Rod Rosenstein extended the FISA Title-1 surveillance warrant used against Carter Page (and the campaign) in July 2017.

6. This explains why the originating authorization to Robert Mueller was kept secret. This explains why Rod Rosenstein never granted public review of the Special Counsel origination document.

7. This explains why Mueller's crew redacted the content when he filed an "attachment" response in the Paul Manafort case.

8. Robert Mueller, and the sneaky Special Counsel team, used the FISA Title-1 surveillance warrant as the entry point in their 2017 investigation.

9. Without exploitation of the previously granted FISA Title-1 Surveillance warrant, the Special Counsel would have needed to go to a federal judge for a search warrant.

10. READ SLOWLY - ABSORB the RAMIFICATIONS.

11. The 2017-2018 Special Counsel investigation is a "criminal" investigation.
The 2016 FBI investigation was a "counterintelligence" investigation.

12. Without use of the FISA Title-1 warrant, Robert Mueller's corrupt team of political activists would have been forced to go to federal court under Title 3 and request all of those search warrants on individuals/suspects/targets.

13. In order to get those search warrants, Mueller's team would have needed to show probable cause why the warrants were necessary. This is the ordinary process within going to any federal judge for such matters (ie. Title 3 search warrants) under DOJ authority.

14. However, by using the existing FISA Court Title-1 surveillance warrant, extended by Rod Rosenstein (July 2017), Mueller didn't need to get additional warrant authority. He only needed to DOJ to transfer the already existing investigation to him.

15. Which is exactly what happened.

16. August, September and October 2016, the horribly corrupt TEAM Mueller, could monitor, scrape, collect and retrieve every single communication within the Trump administration legally using the pre-existing Title-1 warrant authority.

17. That FISA Title-1 surveillance authority is FAR more intrusive than any other type of warrant granted to an investigative authority. It is designed to capture terrorists; and allows *active* and *passive* surveillance, and can be applied retroactively in perpetuity.

18. The FISA Title-1 grants full surveillance authority *E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G*, physical, electronic, the works, on every person, entity, organization, group or individual within two hops of the target, Carter Page.

19. So that also means that Robert Mueller's team was also legally able to monitor everyone within congress who had contact with Page over those five months:
May-June '2017 (Special Counsel starts)
July-October 2017 (SC using FISA extension).

20. By the time the FISA Title-1 Warrant expired (October 2017); Mueller likely had MASSIVE surveillance captures. Phone records, transcripts, recordings, metadata, emails, text messages, skype chats, everything conducted by the Trump Administration.

21. And remember, FISA Title-1 warrants apply retroactively. For opposition research it would be the Holy Grail of search warrants.

22. That's why Michael Caputo is describing the content as "Mueller has everything". WATCH:

23. After the FISA warrant expired, October 2017,..... Starting November 2017 Robert Mueller would have needed to go to a federal court judge for any more search warrants under ordinary Title 3 issues and standards.

24. Now do you see how big a deal that is?

25. Now do the reports of Michael Cohen previously being under *phone monitoring* (surveillance) today take on a new perspective?

If what the CTH article(from drcrinum) is true and the Mueller team has everything, then they should be able to prove Russian collusion by now.


Since they can't do that, I conjecture that

a) the Mueller team is only going after process crimes

OR

b) the Mueller team is dragging this out to affect the elections this fall.

See this is what Hawg and I was discussing earlier, when the report came out about Michael Cohen being "wiretapped". And then rolled back to being a DNR. None of that strange reporting passed the smell test. I had posted Michael Caputo's interview a page or two before that story ever broke in which he said exactly what this twitter thread is talking about. He described in great detail about the Special Counsel team knowing more about the campaign than he did, saying they had "every itinerary, every phone call, email, and text message." Knew right then they were either two hopping everybody off of Carter Page's FISA Warrant, or as Hawg suggested, they had multiple FISA's and we've yet to see or here about the others. It explains exactly why Rosenstein is slow rolling all the paperwork surround the FISA application(s), Mueller Scope, etc.

Now this is ket and pay attention. Michael Caputo was only with the Trump campaign only a short time at the very beginning. He was a senior communications adviser to Trump's political efforts November 2015 to June 2016 (fired following June 20, 2016 tweet about Lewandowski firing)! That's right I said November 2015 to June 2016. Those dates are very key. Carter Page's FISA warrant wasn't granted until after he was gone from the campaign, and replaced by Jason Miller. That means they two hopped Michael Caputo off of Page's FISA warrant that it was issued on Oct. 19, 2016, and expired after 3 renewals on Oct. 20, 2017.

So they back history surveilled Michael Caputo's texts, emails and phone calls, off of a FISA warrant that was issued 4 months after he had left the campaign. That's the dirty business that this thing has gotten into. And Mueller's team, who wasn't appointed until May 17, 2017, has everything on Michael Caputo dating back before Trump was even the Republican Nominee.

Show that bullshiit story that was leaked out, then backtracked was likely correct the first time, but was backtracked when Rosenstein and Mueller started freaking out. The original was likely accurate but damaging since it involved Trump's lawyer and a White House phone conversation(s). This is more than just ugly politics, this is full blown attempt to overthrow the Trump administration.

Then you will understand that Mueller has everyone's emails, texts, phone calls, etc. & why Rosenstein won't reveal the specific portions of the secret authorization letter he sent to Mueller.

I was under the impression the Flynn part of this came from surveilling the Russian ambassador. Then he got unmasked. So I was under the further impression the issue there was the issue with the potentially falsified 302 used as evidence.

if so, that would be a huge amount of electronic data and tons of paper trails to conceal from OIG investigators and others. Something that big, conspiratorial, and treasonous would be extremely difficult to hide for this long. Which is about the only reason I can't quite go there yet.

Horowitz testifies on Tuesday. You would think he would have submitted it by now so they could have a chance to review it before the hearing. Let the leaking begin!

I thought that the Horowitz appearance on the 8th was cancelled because the report wasn't completed yet - and the appearance was re-scheduled for an undetermined later date after the report was ready.
