It's a system of trust that the FBI/DOJ is providing accurate information. Not sure how the judges can do anything else. I'm laughing at the people defending the "FBI and DOJ" as if no person within those organizations can make mistakes, cut corners, or flat out lie. I'm not saying they did anything wrong here, but they are human like everyone else. It's possible they screwed up with the application process.
What's funny is that it was the Republicans who used to believe the FBI could do no wrong.. 8-)

Well...maybe, until the FBI was weaponized by the Obama administration anyway.

Lol. How was it weaponized?

The FISA warrants on Carter Page?

Why did Rosenstein and Boente (Trump appointees) sign off on its renewal last Spring? I mean, Trump just appointed Boente to General Counsel of the FBI a couple of weeks ago. :?

Good to see jelly back in the thread after hiding from all the memo fallout...well at least we can finally put that behind us and mo....oh look, now it looks like Obama's State Department is getting in on the dossier fun. You can't make this shit up. :rofl:
Published accounts in the Guardian and the Washington Post have indicated that Clinton associate Cody Shearer was in contact with Steele about anti-Trump research, and Obama State Department official Jonathan Winer was a connection between Steele and the State Department during the 2016 campaign.

Russia, the gift that keeps on giving.
An FBI informant connected to the Uranium One controversy told three congressional committees in a written statement that Moscow routed millions of dollars to America with the expectation it would be used to benefit Bill Clinton's charitable efforts while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quarterbacked a “reset” in U.S.-Russian relations.

I should add that Congressional Democrats will say it's a fabrication and they'll question the source.

Fucking Deep State Justice Department trying to butt their heads in. :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

Nunes needs to hurry up and type up his next memo so we can finally get that cleansing of the Secret Society.
Justice Department officials told both parties during a briefing in December that they ultimately found they “could not trust” Campbell when he was working as an FBI informant.

Not necessarily related - but, could end up being a big deal.

If Trump was to fire Rosenstein or he had to recuse himself - Brand would be next in line to oversee the Mueller investigation. Will be interesting to see who he nominates.

Ha! This was expected almost a week ago. Schiff for brains put in sources and methods knowing it would have to be redacted. Then he can claim umbrage.

It'll be released, just not the way Schiff wrote it. Schiff still gets to claim " censorship" though.

Maybe. We obviously don't know what's in the memo.

But, they released the transcripts of HPSCI's vote on releasing it. 21 aye's and 0 no's. No Objections from Republicans to its release.

FBI and the Justice Department haven't made a public statement against its release (DEEP STATE, though :().

It will be released one way or another. And, I bet Trump's objections have more to do with it refuting the DEEP STATE SECRET SOCIETY narrative. :coffee:

Ok I made a typo. The HORROR. You know what I mean. The Nunes memo is a bunch of crap.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth

Really? Look at your bias in how you talk about Trump and tell me the FBI and DOJ don't have anyone that is willing to put their fingers on the scale of Justice?
