Rep. Jim Jordan: 18 questions in 2018 about Russia and the FBI

[goldenequity]

948567146279374849


1) Did the FBI pay Christopher Steele, author of the dossier?

2) Was the dossier the basis for securing FISA warrants to spy on Americans? And why won’t the FBI show Congress the FISA application?

3) When did the FBI get the complete dossier and who gave it to them?

•Dossier author Christopher Steele?
•Fusion GPS?
•Clinton campaign/DNC?
•Sen. McCain’s staffer?

4) Did the FBI validate and corroborate the dossier?

5) Did Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, or Bruce Orr work on the FISA application?

6) Why and how often did DOJ lawyer Bruce Orr meet with dossier author Christopher Steele during the 2016 campaign?

7) Why did DOJ lawyer Bruce Orr meet with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson after the election? To get their story straight after their candidate Clinton lost? Or to double down and plan how they were going to go after President-elect Trump?

8) When and how did the FBI learn that DOJ lawyer Bruce Orr’s wife, Nellie Orr, worked for Fusion GPS? And what exactly was Nellie Orr’s role in putting together the dossier?

9) Why did the FBI release text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page? Normally, ongoing investigation is reason not to make such information public.

10) And why did FBI release only 375/10,000+ texts? Were they the best? Worst? Or part of a broader strategy to focus attention away from something else? And when can Americans see the other 96% of texts?

11) Why did Lisa Page leave Mueller probe two weeks before Peter Strzok? This was two weeks before FBI and Special Counsel even knew about the texts.

12) Why did the intelligence community wait two months after the election to brief President-elect Trump on the dossier (January 6, 2017)? Why was James Comey selected to do the briefing?

13) Was the briefing done to “legitimize” the dossier? And who leaked the fact that the briefing was about the dossier?

14) The New York Times reported last week that George Popadopoulos’ loose lips were a catalyst for launching the Russia investigation. Was President-elect Trump briefed on this?

15) Why did Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson meet with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya before and after her meeting with Donald Trump Jr.?

16) Why was FBI General Counsel Jim Baker reassigned two weeks ago? Was he the source for the first story on the dossier by David Corn on October 31, 2016? Or was it someone else at the FBI?

17) Why won’t the FBI give Congress the documents it’s requesting?

18) And why would @SenSchumer, leader of the Democrat party, publicly warn President-elect Trump on Jan. 3, 2017 that when you mess with the “intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you?”

Let me get this straight:
Today, FBI + DOJ meet secretly with Deepstate RINO Paul Ryan....
INSTEAD of giving Devin Nunes the FBI + DOJ documents he demanded by Jan 3rd (today),
from failing to respond to a 6 month old+ Subpoena?

This is Contempt, Obstruction, Subversion at the very least...

Chronically Evasive Fusion GPS Picks A Fight with Grassley Over Transparency
https://truepundit.com/smoke-screen-chronically-evasive-fusion-gps-picks-fight-grassley-transparency/

https://i2.wp.com/truepundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/o-CHUCK-GRASSLEY-VAWA-facebook.jpg?resize=1500%2C575&ssl=1

An intense public battle has erupted between Fusion GPS, the firm behind the controversial “Steele dossier” on President Trump, and the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Executives at the opposition research firm are accusing Grassley and panel Republicans of selectively leaking snippets of their testimony to paint a distorted picture of their work and the FBI’s investigation into Russia.

The feud spilled into public view on Tuesday, when Fusion GPS co-founders Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch went public in a scathing op-ed for the New York Times, titled “The Republicans’ Fake Investigations.”

In the op-ed, Simpson and Fritsch called on Republicans to release the full transcripts of their testimony to three congressional panels, including the Senate Judiciary Committee, “so that the American people can learn the truth.”

That drew a swift rebuke from Grassley. A spokesman for the senator said it was Simpson that had insisted “that the transcript be kept confidential,” adding that an invitation for Simpson to testify in public “remains on the table.”

“Senator Grassley provided Fusion GPS an opportunity for transparency six months ago when he invited the firm to publicly testify at an open committee hearing. Mr. Simpson declined,” said Grassley spokesman Taylor Foy in a statement.

“When faced with a subpoena from the Chairman and Ranking Member, Mr. Simpson refused to provide public testimony, using his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to negotiate for a closed-door interview,” he added.

Why do the 'investigations' always seem to be obstructed/stalled/slowfooted?
The answer is fundamentally basic: cuz 'everyone' is guilty.

Why are all guilty?
cuz 'entrapment' creates dirt and 'deep dives' can always find dirt..

Is entrapment.... 'law enforcement'? yes or no.
(I'll wait.)

You can't answer that one can you.
That's why we attempt to use 'FISA' to 'decide'. :rolleyes:

Don Jr. is 'guilty'.
Kushner is 'guilty'.
Manafort is 'guilty'.
(bet on it. entrapment and 'deep dives' work. McCabe has made a career out of it.)

Back to the question:
Is entrapment law enforcement?
THAT 'blur'
is why this 'process' is excruciating.

Congressmen Rough Up Rosenstein: DOJ to Give Nunes unredacted access to ‘all’ documents together with key FBI witnesses sought in Russia probe
https://truepundit.com/congressmen-rough-rosenstein-doj-gives-nunes-access-documents-witnesses-sought-russia-probe-letter-says/

House investigators will get access this week to “all remaining investigative documents” – in unredacted form – that they had sought as part of their Russia inquiry, under a deal between Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., according to a letter obtained by Fox News.

The letter, from Nunes to Rosenstein, summarizes an “agreement” reached on a phone call Wednesday evening and also says key FBI and Justice Department witnesses in the probe will be provided for interviews later this month.

“It is my hope that this agreement will provide the Committee with all outstanding documents and witnesses necessary to complete its investigations,” Nunes wrote.

The agreement comes after the DOJ and FBI faced a Wednesday deadline to comply, under the threat of new subpoenas and even contempt citations. Under deadline pressure, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Rosenstein met Wednesday with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to discuss the demands from the intelligence committee.

Nunes’ letter outlines the terms of the deal reached, as he seeks information that could shed light on whether the controversial anti-Trump “dossier” was used to open the Russia probe and justify surveillance on Trump campaign officials.

Nunes wrote that the committee is “extremely concerned by indications that top U.S. Government officials who were investigating a presidential campaign relied on unverified information that was funded by the opposing political campaign and was based on Russian sources.”


(2 B sure... MANY 'key' questions & lines of inquiry will never be asked in 'public'... the 'deep' rabbit holes will be 'internal affairs'.)

PARTY IS OVER: Federal Judge Rules Fusion GPS Must Turn Over Bank Records

https://i2.wp.com/truepundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/GettyImages-813946748.jpg?resize=1500%2C575&ssl=1

U.S. District Judge Richard J Leon ruled today that Fusion-GPS must turn over their banking records as required under the existing congressional subpoena.

Fusion GPS had sought an injunction from the federal court blocking the U.S. House Intelligence Committee from forcing them to provide banking records related to their 2016 opposition research work on Russia related matters.

In a 26-page-ruling (full pdf below) Judge Leon rebuked each of the Fusion GPS reasons for the injunction and ruled the subpoena from the congressional committee was appropriate, proper and lawful.

Bannon's 'Treason' remark against Don Jr. is still notable and the Kushner/EB-5 Visa/Deutche Bank collusion remains significant.

the question is:

Why did he/Bannon (now, suddenly) do it?
We are all supposed to believe it's 'sour grapes'... over the Roy Moore debacle/accusations?
He got all butthurt and is now, after all this time become 'vindictive'?

So... those subpoenaed, then withheld seeking an emergency stay, then stay motion denied bank records.....
have been turned over to Nunez/House Intelligence Committee and now been 'published'...
but
'parts' have been redacted from the public eye by the Justice Department.

Why.
Likely cuz it's potentially EXPLOSIVE stuff. (Trump could instruct Justice Dept. to remove redaction.)

George speculates it may well incriminate the CIA (also) as backers & funding the Fusion dossier.

At the same time/the Senate Judiciary Committee/Grassley,
after grilling 'author' of the dossier Christopher Steele (a non-citizen) for over 21 hours in sworn testimony..
have referred him to the Justice Dept. for criminal investigation and recommended 'charges'...
at the very LEAST... it is for perjury/obstruction (he lied & they caught him)..
(they intend to 'squeeze' the dude... Grassley is NOT fooling around.)

but George speculates in addition, it may be for ESPIONAGE as well.

A month after Hillary Clinton hired Fusion GPS (April 2016) to sub-contract retired British MI6 agent Christopher Steele to write the opposition research report “the Trump Russia Dossier”, Fusion GPS employee Nellie Ohr applied for a HAM radio license (May 23rd 2016 (http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/LicArchive/license.jsp?archive=Y&licKey=12382876)); a communication tool that would allow Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele the ability to communicate outside the normal risk of communication intercepts.

I just re-read what you wrote... I will take it in 2 parts..

'not good enough' meaning the license was restricted as to power output.. i.e. 'range'..
not pulling up the articles but I think she was limited to +/- 25 mile radius or such.

let me put it this way:
Is your cel phone 'strong' enough (powerful enuf) to reach say.. London?
of course not... but all YOU have to have is enuf power to reach the nearest tower. Right?
But of course all your 'calls' are then tracked using the 'system'.

Figure from there... she broadcasts (maybe 'burst' transmission) at an arranged freq. to
another receiver/transmitter and it gets 'bounced' to the other party.
Too much to go into here... but there's even 'dark bands' used by signal intelligence around the world..
you can use regular, monitored satellite transmission wavelengths and go 'in-between' them.
No one would ever know (including NSA) UNLESS they knew to 'look' for it (using D-wave analysis)
and WHEN the transmission was made. (aka it DOES leave 'footprints' but is VERY stealthy).
You might ask 'who has that kind of capability?'
US Naval Intelligence.

'for the operation'... this is a total can of worms trying to unravel what she might have been 'coordinating'..
I'll just say 'there's reason to believe'....it would have to do with LITERALLY 'bringing' in 'foreign personnel' ashore
arranging for and plugging them into 'accommodations' and operations on American soil for deep state ops.
They don't like to use 'citizens' here.... they 'shop' for them overseas then bring them in and train them.
Total control. This (includes) but goes beyond 'Fusion GPS'. Think weapons/drugs/uranium etc.

He mentions all the attention/effort that goes into 'logistics'.. and that takes him back to the Molly McCauley murder...
the geo-spatial specialist/Resources for the Future - Podesta etc... nah... just focus on Hezbollah! Hezbollah! Hezbollah!. Right.

As always, george is enthusiastic and hopeful w/ no partisan bias or 'grudge'... aka a ruthless justice fighter....
sarcastic/dry humor at times but not a cynic. Huge 'self-esteem' but that's ok too. He binge drinks occasionally... but maybe that
helps to 'turn off' the constant processing that goes on in his head. I like him warts & all.

You know this but I'll say it anyway.
The 'ring' involved (and there are MANY) have no allegiance.. hoist no flag. It's business.
Hezbollah is a 'customer', an 'investor' and that's all. Like ISIS. Like Saudi Arabia. Like Israel.
Politics and 'enemies' create more customers. Politics is for the little people who wave flags... yeah that's YOU Trump 'supporters'.
They're using you. They're using FOX. They're using /r/The_Donald. They're even using (yes..) True Pundit (sigh).
Pick up the Constitution and put down 'the Flag'. It will help.
I have no particular 'person' in mind on RPF... I 'cheer' when Trump does something 'right' too.
alrighty then...

FRAUD upon the COURT :mad:

Confirmation: DOJ and FBI Used “Steele Dossier” for Application To FISA Court for Search Authority on Trump Campaign…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/10/confirmation-doj-and-fbi-used-steele-dossier-for-application-to-fisa-court-for-search-authority-on-trump-campaign/#more-144424

Don't miss it: This is a very concise and thorough article on HOW
the entire system was 'played' (not JUST FISA) and what Nunes has discovered.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6gfo5EQkxs

Sara Carter and Fox News are both confirming the DOJ and FBI used the Steele Dossier to get FISA-702 Data Surveillance Authority
allowing them to spy on Trump campaign officials.

In the latest developments, as reported by Sara Carter and Fox News,
the DOJ and FBI used the sketchy ‘Steele Dossier’ as the foundation for their FISA application.
(and they KNEW it was all bullshiit when they did it.. not just ONCE (it was denied by court) but TWICE.. dropping it in Obama's lap to PUSH it through FISA court.)

-------

What you need to know:

A warrant implies advanced judicial approval to begin surveillance and collecting emails and phone calls etc.
Like a traditional Title III DOJ / law enforcement search warrant. But that’s not how FISA-702 works.

The FISA database, run by the NSA hub, already holds all the information, all the emails, texts, phone calls etc.
The information already exists in a database. There are two steps to access the database of information:

♦Step One is to “Query” the database for your subject.
That search needs a factual legal reason to take place; like an ongoing investigation. (this is where the ABUSE happens. :mad:)

That search then returns an outcome, a set of information based on the “query” parameters.
If the user gets a positive response to the “query” then Yes, the database holds information related to what they are looking for. Remember, there has to be a preexisting investigation to do the query.

♦Step Two is to “Open” the data set.
That’s the step that needs a “search warrant” to be legal.
That second step, the ‘looking at the information’ is where an approval from the FISA court is needed.
The investigator must fill out a FISA application and go to the FISA Court for approval.
In order to get a FISA Court approval the investigator must show a valid reason for the search.

Example (not real):

•Step One: The DOJ/FBI official puts “Jared Kushner” into the search query. This generates a number of responses. Perhaps his emails, phone call logs, actual intercepted recordings of his calls, or text messages, etc. (everything the NSA hub captures “about” Jared Kushner). There has to be a valid investigative reason in this step. An investigation of Jared Kushner must be underway.

•Step Two: The DOJ/FBI official then quarantines the returned information and applies to the FISA Court for permission to review it. The FBI/DOJ official has to tell the court why they want to look, ie. the FISA application. The FISA court grants the application and gives the FBI/DOJ official the approval. The application must have a legal basis as presented to the court – similar to that needed for a search warrant.

In 2016 NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers noted there were numerous FISA-702(17) unauthorized “About Queries” being conducted by the intelligence community. These are queries that did not have an underlying investigation to support their taking place.


'Fusion' Centers

This 'about Query' scam is NOT 'shut down'... (as the article maintains)
in fact... it is the basis for the police state known as JTTF/FBI/FUSION CENTERS for reprisals and intimidation programs on americans.
