New Evidence Shows WITH CERTAINTY the FBI Lied to Court to Obtain FISA Warrant to Spy on Trump
2019-05-11
Key bits, because we’ve already had the notes of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.
[GatewayPundit] The key point as we all know is that the FBI has to hide the fact that they knew the dossier was fake and unverified because they used it in the FISA warrant application to spy on Trump.

They also knew Steele was providing the dossier information to the press before they fired Steele, but they can’t let anyone know they knew this because they already stated that they did not know this.

In the Grassley letter to Rosenstein at the DOJ and Wray at the FBI dated January 4, 2018, the Senator says that in an interview Comey said in March 2017 that Steele was reliable –

Note that the FBI does not say “Isikoff” or “Yahoo News”, it says “the press”. Is this what was provided to the FISA Court for the Carter Page application?

Also, now looking back at the FISA application, the second paragraph states that the information for the warrant came from the State Department –

If the information from the State Department noted above was from Kavalec, this would mean that the FBI knew without a doubt that Steele was speaking to the press BEFORE obtaining the Carter Page FISA warrants, but they lied to the FISA court, saying Steele didn’t speak to the press, and then they fired Steele afterwards, claiming it was because Steele spoke to the press.

#5  Parallel construction (inventing rumours to justify spying on those named in the rumours) is specifically banned.

#4  The FBI was running a classic clandestine intelligence collection operation against the DRT campaign, to include what appears to be a pretty extensive source recruitment effort. All at the behest of John Brennan and associates, under the direction of Clinton and Soetoro. I'm still unsure about Carter Page, and his knowledge of the details, but I suspect he knew precisely what he was doing.

#1  Waiting for something to happen out here in 10, 9, 8...2 years. Time to get on with justice instead of talking about it.
