It is chilling to think that a political party in power can use such flimsy information to spy on the political campaign (and presidency) of the opposing party.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the list:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>1.) The FBI possessed information dating to 2015 in Steele\u2019s intelligence (Delta) <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/accountability\/russia-and-ukraine-scandals\/fbi-failed-review-steeles-ties-russians-warned-some\">file warning that he might be the victim of Russian disinformation <\/a>through his contacts with Vladimir Putin-connected oligarchs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>2.) Senior Justice Department official <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/white-house\/425739-fisa-shocker-doj-official-warned-steele-dossier-was-connected-to-clinton\">Bruce Ohr warned the FBI<\/a> in August 2016 that Steele held an extreme bias against Trump (he was \u201cdesperate&#8221; to defeat Trump) and that his information was likely uncorroborated raw intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>3.) Steele\u2019s work on the dossier was funded by Trump\u2019s rival in the election, Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign, and the Democratic Party, through their opposition research firm, Fusion GPS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>4.) <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/white-house\/442592-steeles-stunning-pre-fisa-confession-informant-needed-to-air-trump-dirt\">Steele told a State Department official in October 2016<\/a>, 10 days before the FISA warrants were first secured, that he had <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/white-house\/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged\">leaked to the news media<\/a> and had an election day deadline for making public the information he had shared with the FBI as a confidential human source.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>5.) Steele was fired Nov. 1, 2016 for violating his confidential human source agreement by leaking to the news media.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>6.) Information Steele provided to the government was proven, before the FISA warrants were granted, to be false and inaccurate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>7.) Steele was caught in October 2016 p<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/white-house\/444884-christopher-steeles-nugget-of-fools-gold-was-easily-disproven-but-fbi\">eddling a false internet rumor<\/a> also being spread by a lawyer for the Democratic National Committee and a liberal reporter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>8.) The FBI falsely declared to the FISA court it had corroborated the evidence in Steele\u2019s dossier used in the search warrant application, including that Carter Page had met with two senior Russians in Moscow in summer 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>9.) The <a href=\"https:\/\/johnsolomonreports.com\/the-comey-fbis-17-worst-failures-inaccuracies-and-omissions-flagged-in-the-russia-fisa-report\/\">FBI interviewed Steele\u2019s primary sub-source <\/a>in January 2017, who claimed much of the information attributed to him was not accurate, exaggerated or rumor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>10.) The <a href=\"https:\/\/johnsolomonreports.com\/the-comey-fbis-17-worst-failures-inaccuracies-and-omissions-flagged-in-the-russia-fisa-report\/\">FBI possessed statements of innocence from Page<\/a> collected by an undercover informer in August and October 2016, including that Page denied meeting with the two Russians and did not play a role in changing a GOP platform position on Ukraine during the Trump nominating convention. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>11.) The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2019\/dec\/11\/kevin-clinesmith-fbi-attorney-hid-carter-page-cia-\/\">CIA alerted the FBI that Page was a friendly U.S. asset <\/a>who had assisted the Agency on Russia matters and was not a stooge for the Russian government.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>12.) The <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/accountability\/russia-and-ukraine-scandals\/fbi-transcript-says-papadopoulos-denied-trump-campaign\">FBI possessed exculpatory statements made by Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos <\/a>in which he told an undercover informer he and the Trump campaign were not involved in the Russian hacking of Clinton\u2019s emails and considered such activity to be \u201cillegal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>13.) The <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/accountability\/political-ethics\/fbis-russia-collusion-case-fell-apart-first-month-trump-presidency\">FBI concluded in January 2017 that Trump national security adviser Mike Flynn was not being deceptive<\/a> in his interviews with agents and likely suffered from a faulty memory and was not operating as an agent\u00a0for Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The only thing I can add to this is that this should NEVER happen again in America. The only way to prevent it from happening again is the put the people in jail who violated the civil rights of Americans by lying to the FISA Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday John Solomon posted an article at Just The News with the following title, &#8220;The 13 revelations showing the FBI never really had a Russia collusion case to begin with.&#8221; I am going to list the revelations without the comments, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/?p=38626\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[11415,11438,4848,10911,11478,10687,11715,1457,11768,12498,269,3335,11114,3327],"class_list":["post-38626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-bruce-ohr","tag-carter-page","tag-civil-rights","tag-fisa","tag-fisa-court","tag-fisa-warrant","tag-george-papadopoulos","tag-hillary-clinton","tag-john-solomon","tag-just-the-news","tag-justice-department","tag-political-campaign","tag-trump-campaign","tag-vladimir-putin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38626"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38627,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38626\/revisions\/38627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
