It's Not Over Yet - Future FISA Memo Showdown To Explode When MORE Info
Released
by Joshua Caplan
I got your nothing-burger hangin' right here.
The Washington Examiner's Byron York concludes his article summarizing the
memo's key FISA abuses by warning a new showdown between Republicans and
Democrats could resurface when additional information is released.
Translation: the FISA memo could be the first of many memos exposing
corruption at both the FBI and Justice Department.
York writes:
Finally, the memo released today does not represent the sum total of
what House investigators have learned in their review of the FBI and
Justice Department Trump-Russia investigation. That means the fight over
the memo could be replayed in the future when the Intelligence Committee
decides to release more information.
It is not clear what information congressional investigators will release.
Below are key FISA abuses laid out in the memo complied by York:
The House Intelligence Committee has released its controversial memo
outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice
Department in the Trump-Russia investigation. Here are some key points:
* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all
three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought
from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ
and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
* DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of
2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr
that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president
and was passionate about him not becoming president.
Democrats have fought hard to paint the memo as a hyper-partisan piece of
propaganda aimed at discrediting the 'Trump-Russia' collusion
investigation. Namely, Rep. Adam Schiff worked overtime to prevent the
document's release.
Schiff's position on the memo has been nothing short of "Schiffty," having
first branded the memo nothing more than Republican propaganda, then
claiming the document shouldn't be made public because Americans wouldn't
understand it, to announcing House Intelligence Democrats would be
releasing a "counter-memo."
Meanwhile, President Trump is none too pleased about the memo.
When asked about the document in the Oval Office Friday, the President
responded, "The memo was sent to Congress. They're going to do whatever
they're going to do, but it's a disgrace what's happening in our country."
