Here’s a nice teaser for you. We know th FBI lied to a FISA court to spy on a Republican Political campaign. Earlier this year, I suggested it was to spy on more than one. That’s turning out to be true. But it’s not quite as impressive as this lie.
The FBI had failed twice to get a FISA Warrant on two individuals who would enter the trump orbit before the election. They were refused because there was no evidence to justify it. When they settled on Carter Page, it was because he had extensive ties to Russians. When the Trump campaign hired him, he made a perfect “in” to get them access to phones and email. The problem.
Carter Page was a known CIA asset. The only reason he had those ties was that they were developed in service to the United States Government through his work for the Central Intelligence Agency.
Page was deployed to make contact with Russians in which the CIA was interested.
When the FBI wanted to go after Page for those connections as a predication to spy on the Trump campaign, the CIA told them as much and to back off. Which brings us to the infamous altered email about which you may have heard.
Lacking evidence to get permission to spy on Trump, through Carter Page, the FBI altered an email to gin up proof that resulted in the approval of the spying operation.
The CIA sent a memo to the FBI in August 2016 to inform them that Carter Page was working for them, that he was not a Russian spy.
“The insurance policy was the FBI knowingly lying and manipulating about Carter Page pretending he wasn’t an asset for the CIA, but an asset for the Russians. And manipulating emails to make a FISA judge believe what were benign, mundane contacts with Russians and some that were not benign, but were on behalf of a U.S. government mission were actually evidentiary data points that Carter Page was a U.S. spy worthy of spying on.”
Can you recall, at various times, during the Spygate and then Mueller fiascos where Democrats said: “you can’t do this or that because you’ll expose intelligence assets?”
The only predication the FBI could gin up to get permission to spy on an opposing party’s political campaign was to expose an intelligence asset.
Carter Page.
That’s just one big lie of many.
Here’s another one for later. There is no way the FBI ran a counter-intelligence operation without approval from the White House.
