The GOP has more evidence of the FBI probe being politically motivated.
Christopher Steele, who worked for Fusion GPS who worked for the Clinton
campaign, went to the FBI to say he had evidence of Trump-Russian
collusion on July 5th, the same day former FBI director James Comey
announced the exoneration of Hillary Clinton.
The evidence was their Clinton-financed opposition research.
That suggests political motivation on the part of the FBI.
The FISA abuse memo presented evidence of FBI abuse of the FISA court. A
warrant was obtained with flimsy evidence at best and was used to spy on
a campaign for political reasons. Everyone, Democrat and Republican,
should be very worried about this.
More evidence is coming. The abuse memo was only the beginning. In
addition to more memos coming from the House Intel Committee, the Senate
Judiciary memo is coming soon. It might back up the House Intel abuse
memo.
Jerry Nadler wrote his own six-page rebuttal to the Nunes memo and gave
it to NBC News on Saturday. Three things in the rebuttal stood out for
us. It offers no evidence; it insists Carter Page is a Russian agent; and
it claims the FISA warrant was the result of George Papadopoulos’s
drunken ramblings with Australia’s U.S. ambassador.
Two Drunks Walk Into A Bar
They want people to believe that two drunks sharing gossip in a bar
started the entire probe. While that meeting took place in May 2016, the
Aussie official didn’t tell the FBI until after July and after the
Hillary emails were released.
Since the dossier is losing credibility, the left now wants us to believe
that a drunk George Papadopoulos was the real impetus. That is mentioned
at the end of the Nunes FISA abuse memo but what the left is ignoring is
testimony by McCabe December, 2017.
Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe testified before the Committee that but
for reliance on the 35-page dossier, authored by Christopher Steele, the
FISA warrant would neither have been sought nor obtained.
There is another point to be made. Julian Assange killed the Papadopoulos
theory in one tweet:
Julian Assange ?
@JulianAssange
Big puzzle: why does #FBI claim its investigation is based
#Papadopoulos hearing in April "Russians have thousands of
Clinton emails". Simple cross-check shows #WikiLeaks'
#DNCLeaks weren't obtained from DNC until 25 May and
investigation started in July after WL has published.

A Warrant on Carter Page Allowed FBI to Spy on Entire Campaign
Carter Page is a most unlikely spy. Russians called him an “idiot”.
The FBI used the unverified dossier funded by Clinton and the DNC to get
the FISA warrant to spy on him. They are making him into a Russian agent.
The FBI told the FISC that he was a spy.
To back it up — pretending it was secondary verification — they used a
September 23rd story by Michael Isikoff in Yahoo News. The story claimed
Carter Page had “secret channels” to Russia. The problem with this is
Steele planted the story. They backed up the dossier with their planted
story.
On October 21st, the FBI sought and was granted the warrant using the
fake dossier. It was renewed three times after that using the same bogus
dossier.
Republican investigators have evidence the dossier author Christopher
Steele met with the FBI on July 5, 2016, the exact day that former FBI
director James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton.
Linked to Clinton
The FBI probe is now linked to Clinton, at least indirectly. The probe
began after Steele approached the FBI with the Clinton opposition
research. He approached the FBI the day Hillary was exonerated.
John Solomon of The Hill reported Republican investigators say they have
evidence that Steele first approached the FBI with his allegations on
July 5, 2016, the same day then-FBI Director James Comey announced he
would not pursue criminal charges against Clinton for passing more than
100 classified documents through her private email server.
The date is significant in suggesting political motivations. Steele’s
employer was being paid by a Clinton campaign and the DNC for months.
Both were angry about the FBI investigating Hillary’s private server.
Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS who hired Steele,
acknowledged to the House Intelligence Committee in an interview that he
and Steele began talking to reporters because they were angry about the
reopening of the Clinton email case.
We know from the Page-Strzok text messages that they were rushing to a
conclusion on the Hillary exoneration case. They were also going easy on
her, giving her special consideration. The letter exonerating her was
written before she and other key players were interviewed. Strzok also
talked of an “insurance policy” to keep Trump out of the Oval Office.
Then-director Comey testified to the House Intel Committee that he opened
the investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia at the end of July 2016.
Listen to this discussion about the dossier as key to obtaining the
warrants, not the an alcohol-fueled boastful conversation by Papadopoulos
with an equally drunk Aussie.
