This lays out my biggest problem with the whole Russian mess. The DOJ went out of its way to spy on a political campaign. There needs to be prosecutions and removal from the bar for this.

Great article. I don't see how the FBI and DOJ can defend what happened. Next 6 months going to be interesting regardless.

It’s obvious the Obama DOJ was doing political work for the Clintons. The standards for investigating someone just weren’t there.

It's rather amazing that people will come to this site and defend the level of corruption that is being revealed.

But Trump is the most evilest person to ever walk the face of the earth...and anything to stop him can't be illegal.

We need to see justice done here. All to often we see so many who are just above the law. Stepping down or out of the spotlight isn’t enough.

Bookmarked.

The coming months should be very interesting. Maybe more people will see the FISA court the way some libertarians do.

One can hope. Not only did they do some dirt getting the investigation going. Those involved also leaked enough tidbits to the press to get a special counsel going.

So the FBI had the sinister motive of harming Trump's campaign when they got the FISA warrant 3 weeks before the election.

Like they were going to set up the surveillance and get conclusive evidence they could publicly release in 3 weeks.

Then 1 week later Oct 28, the FBI sends a letter to Congress saying they are reopening an investigation into Hillary's emails, even though they have not even seen the emails on Wiener's computer.

The on October 31, the NEW York Times publishes a story citing FBI sources that confirms that Trump is not under investigation (even though he was - or at least his campaign was).

So tell me again, how do you figure that the FBI was working against the Trump campaign???

Yes. Didn’t Comey say he was reopening an investigation on HRC a week prior to the election?

You are a blowhard buffoon.

Only to clear her and only because thousands of documents suddenly surfaced that the FBI claimed they didn’t have before.

It was a sham investigation designed to cover up the evidence.

You didn't recognize that as being the same as the Oct 28 letter to Congress I posted?

But, whatever. How does announcing the reopening of the email probe mesh with the narrative that the FBI was trying to work against the Trump campaign?

The October 28 letter from Comey to Congress......didn't the fbi first become aware of the emails on the Weiner -Huma lap top in September? Why the delay?

You answer my question with a question. Why don't you answer mine first? Is it too hard for you?

“The FBI” is s straw man much like “Muh Russians “. The entire FBI was not complicit in a plan to elect HRC and nobody believes that so why do you perpetuate that myth? There were clearly some biased individuals st the FBI that were likely paid huge sums to help HRC. However, they can only do so much to protect HRC and when the laptop came out, the news about the emails broke. I have no doubt Comey was torn on what to do but I think he wisely figured that if he said nothing and HRC won and THEN it was revealed the emails were sinister in nature, he and the FBI would be severely raked over the coals. His best course of action was transparency and he probably thought HRC was a shoe in regardless.

Great read. This article articulates just how many things were done against the norm.

There's no way you can read that and believe they weren't out to sink Trump.

Wait, I thought the conservative story was that the FBI did all this questionable FISA stuff because they thought Hillary was going to win, so they thought it didn't matter.

And how do you get out of the fact that the FBI re-opens the Hillary probe, but never said anything about the Trump-Russia probe they had going since July, and in fact, the FBI is the source of a Oct 31 NYT article that proclaims that there is no Trump probe, eight days before the election.

The talking points of the lib media were so irrational this past year that it had to be concerted effort to take Trump down.

I can understand not liking Trump, but damn, these motherfrickers went out of their minds with hate. It made no sense. We now know that it was all fake outrage perpetrated and encouraged by the lib media and lunatic left because their stupid, corrupt, unlikable bitch lost the election.

It's time to take a flamethower to this mother fricker! It's time to spring clean this bitch!
