So what exactly is being released that we didn’t seemingly know?

i don't think all the information about the tomfoolery with Carter Page's FISA applications was truly known until today

same with his association with the CIA. we all speculated he was working with them, but now it's confirmed

there are some people who are going to have to answer questions as to their artistic use of omitting pertinent information as well as including questionable information, as well as a clear understanding of what superiors knew (and when they knew it)

Oh and Hannity will be on this and have on Graham so Graham can BS. And then they will all talk about their books they wrote and Q people will say wait two more years they have it all. It is all quite sad


Senators from both parties participated in the influence process and part of those influence priorities was exploiting the financial opportunities within Ukraine while simultaneously protecting Joe Biden and his family. This is where Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham were working with Marie Yovanovitch.

I am amazed anyone here isn't out back sharpening their pitchfork tines.

Anons knew this two years ago.

As described in Chapter Three, immediately after opening the investigation, the iv Crossfire Hurricane team submitted name trace requests to other U.S. government agencies and a foreign intelligence agency, and conducted law enforcement database and open source searches, to identify individuals associated with the Trump campaign in a position to have received the alleged offer of assistance from Russia.


Would that have been the Ukraine connection?

Yet somehow there's no bias. 

It's akin to a 1950's Mississippi jury declaring white men innocent in the face of all the evidence to the contrary. The outcomes are predetermined just like wrasslin. Nobody will be held accountable because our country is a banana republic.

Let's be honest, we didn't know a lot of this this but rather we assumed it.

This is concrete proof of:
-the Woods Procedure not being followed
-exculpatory evidence being withheld from the FISA applications
-ignoring of Page's Russian contacts being due to his work with the CIA
-the FBI stating Steele did not leak to Yahoo news but did not actually even attempt to investigate that
-heavily relying on the Steele Dossier
-not informing FISA of Steele's anti-Trump bias

etc.

There's "knowing" something and there's knowing something. The IG's report firmly moves this information from the prior category to the latter.

That stuck out to me as egregious crap.

I'm guessing that was left of out FISA applications, CH meetings, etc as well.

The report acknowledges that Page and Strzok were compromised but explained ultimately the decision to investigate was made by Strzok's boss. They did not find evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced Priestap's decision.


No more, no less.

ETA: This conclusion does not mean that political bias did not exist. Rather, it means that they did not find explicit evidence of political bias influencing the person responsible for making the decision to investigate.

You cannot prove a persons motivation or bias. It's simply opinion.

Horowitz is merely "what happened"

Durham is "why" and "how" it happened

investigating intent/motive/method etc are Durham's job

yeah i mean this report deals more with the institutional issues within the FBI alone. clearly there are more agencies in play since Downer/Mifsud were international AND the IG cannot get too much into the "why" as you said

So far, what has been reviled as having "happened" that Durham would investigate "why" and "how" of?
Just curious.
