There was no deep state. There was no coup. There is no witch hunt or hoax.

The Justice Department's inspector general found no evidence to support President Donald Trump's claim that the FBI inserted spies in his 2016 presidential campaign, The New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with a draft of the report.

Trump has repeatedly and baselessly alleged that the FBI inserted covert operators in his campaign.

He also alleged, without evidence, that former President Barack Obama had intelligence officials tap his phones, a claim the report is also expected to undercut.

Sources told The Times and The Washington Post that while the report undermines Trump's most extreme claims, it also faults the FBI for making bureaucratic mistakes when applying for a warrant to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide.

Wow, I thought this thread was about the DOJ watchdog and his report doesn't support your BS. It says at least 4 people in the campaign were spied on.

Oppo research costs money and would be covered as an in kind expense.

Gee, now how did Hillary have that extra cash lying around to pay Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS all that money to smear Donald Trump, IM2? Oh, that's right...she took in "donations" from foreign governments and individuals to the Clinton Foundation and then used part of THAT money to help pay the salaries of her campaign staff! Wait a second!!! Isn't that EXACTLY why that statute was written prohibiting foreigners from contributing to US politicians?

You might want to ask the Washington Examiner that question. Hillary didn't use Clinton Foundation money to pay staff. She ran in 2008 and since you can't use campaign funds for anything else, it is apparent she had money left over on top of the money she was getting in donations in 2016.

But hey we just can't help but to keep trying making a Clinton a criminal. Do ya got something on the grandchild now? Did he drink illegal milk?

Actually that's exactly what Hillary did! Key staff members who worked on her reelection campaign were also getting paid salaries from the Clinton Foundation. It's a rather slick way to get around campaign finance laws.

So something illegal or not? The Clinton Foundation is still in operation and the Clintons aren't barred from charity work...unlike Trump.

yes, it was illegal and the clinton foundation is NOT still in operation.

Are you high?

https://www.clintonfoundation.org/

They did nothing illegal and are still, very much, in operation...unlike the Trump Foundation.

 

[Seawytch]

Let's say Burisma was buying influence. Did they ask Biden to do something in return?

that should be investigated, thats what the fired guy was doing.

So you don't have any idea if they asked Biden to do anything?

Personally? no I don't, but don't you think it smells funny and we should find out what was going on?

Or, are democrats in your mind, above the law?

Nope. I’m all for it. In fact, I think Congress should open an investigation into all potential nepotism issues with ALL elected representatives. Let’s start with Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chau...or Jared and Ivanka.

Yep, lets do it, and take a hard look at the Clinton foundation at the same time.

I think we found an area of agreement.

Go ahead. The Clinton Foundation has withstood scrutiny many times...unlike the now defunct because of fraud Trump Foundation.

 

[Seawytch]

It looks like Trump was right to fire Comey.

He was...and even for the reason he gave. Of course, the “official“ reason given was bullshit. Trump admitted the real reason to Lester Holt.

 

[Seawytch]

does that satisfy your curiosity?

not even close. You claimed that the Russians helped Trump win, but you can't tell us exactly how they did that, where they did it, or which votes were changed because of it.

What the Russians were successful at doing was planting BS about both sides in order to get this country divided and angry at each other. Why are you libs unable to understand that?

Because every protection you spout to make the moron seem innocent could come from the mouths of his Russian friends and all you're doing is causing a duplication of russian interfering in 2020 to keep this idiot in power And if you want to play the game of show and tell ,show me where Ukraine messed with our election in favor of Hillary

your ignorance knows no bounds. the russians wanted hillary to win because they had her 33,000 missing emails and could use them to blackmail her into doing whatever they wanted.

stop listening to pencil neck Schiff and the idiots like Swalwell, they are lying to you, the trial in the senate will bring out all the dem lies and expose Schiff for making up the whole thing with the "whistle blower". Just wait, its going to be a blood bath for the lying dems.

So if the whistleblower was made up, why does ALL the testimony corroborate the whistleblower?

The Horowitz report, in its core findings, does not back up Trump’s and his allies’ conspiracy theories. In fact, it undercuts a number of them.

First, it says the information “reasonably indicated activity constituting either a federal crime or a threat to national security, or both, may have occurred or may be occurring.”

“For similar reasons … we concluded that the quantum of information articulated by the FBI to open the individual investigations on [George] Papadopoulos, [Carter] Page, [Michael] Flynn, and [Paul] Manafort in August 2016 was sufficient to satisfy the low threshold established by the Department and the FBI,” the report says.

In perhaps an even more significant finding, the report also addresses the idea that the investigation was hopelessly biased. Trump and his allies have pointed to anti-Trump text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to make that case. But Horowitz issues a broad statement finding there was no evidence that personal political agendas affected the probe.

“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations,” the report says. (As we’ll get to later, there is even compelling evidence to directly dispute this idea.)

Third, it addresses allegations that the FBI planted an informant in the Trump campaign, saying “we found no evidence that the FBI attempted to place any CHSs within the Trump campaign, recruit members of the Trump campaign as CHSs, or task CHSs to report on the Trump campaign.”

And lastly, it’s clear on another popular GOP conspiracy theory — that the investigation was founded based upon a dossier full of dubious and unverified information put together by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

“These officials, though, did not become aware of Steele’s election reporting until weeks later, and we therefore determined that Steele’s reports played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening,” the report reads, using the code name for the investigation.

They weren’t spied on. Spying indicates illicit or illegal surveillance. All warrants, including Paige, were legally obtained and, according to the IG, justified.

Illicit usually refers to something that is not morally proper or acceptable, which applies in this case of spying on the Trump campaign to find any dirt they could. In total, the IG’s report identified “at least 17 significant errors or omissions in the Carter Page FISA applications, and many additional errors in the Woods Procedures. These errors and omissions resulted from case agents providing wrong or incomplete information to OI and failing to flag important issues for discussion.”

According to AG Barr:

“The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration. In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process.”

Spying refers to secretly collecting information about enemies or competitors, which Trump certainly was. So what the FBI did WAS spying, and it WAS illicit, if not illegal. We'll see what Durham's Report says when it comes out.

Dumbfuck, Page was no longer with the Trump campaign when they spied on him. He was barely associated with them while he was with the campaign. And he was kicked to the curb by the campaign and he never met with Trump nor ever spoke with him.
