Having beaten the COLLUSION horse to death, I thought it would be good to look at the FISA Probe.
This thread is NOT an "I hate Trump" thread, so please leave that elsewhere.
This thread is NOT a rehash of the whole COLLUSION / OBSTRUCTION thing - there are plenty of places to spew forth ignorance on that.
This is specifically about the FISA requests, and the IG probe (or other investigations) into same.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostBill Barr vows to uncover 'exactly what happened' with Russia probe, says explanations have been 'inadequate'
Attorney General Bill Barr, in an exclusive interview with Fox News, said the country must know “exactly what happened” with counterintelligence activities conducted during the 2016 election -- and he is determined to get to the bottom of the case.
In his first interview since becoming attorney general, Barr spoke to “America’s Newsroom” host Bill Hemmer during a visit to El Salvador for meetings with law enforcement officials. In pointed terms, he fired back at Democrats who have castigated him over his handling of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report -- calling Speaker Nancy Pelosi's charge that he lied to Congress "laughable" and dismissing an attempt to hold him in contempt of Congress.
"That's part of the usual ... political circus that's being played out. It doesn't surprise me," he said.
And the nation's top law enforcement official provided new details about the recently announced probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, defending his decision to pursue it and stressing that many of the answers he's gotten so far have been "inadequate."

That it began with the Steele Dossier is what you keep hearing in the GOP propaganda bubble. It didn't! The Steele Dossier hadn't even been released at that time.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostSome interesting questions being asked about who Joseph Mifsud is exactly, and who was he working for when he approached Parapolous in 2016. There are indications that he was, in fact, working for the FBI and/or CIA when he met Papa and suggested that he had access to Hillary's emails. This is significant because it was this meeting that was used as the predicate to begin a counter intelligence operation against Trump and his campaign.
"Wait a minute," you might be thinking, "Why would an employee of our intelligence agencies be running a sting on a US citizen prior to and as justification for a later Intelligence operation?"
That, my friend, is the right question.

Originally posted by JimLamebrain View PostYou notice that he never mentions what the questions are which he found the answers to be inadequate. He makes no charges, is specific about nothing, and that is because he has no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of the investigators, and he knows it, which is why in his saying something, he is saying nothing at all. Oh, you didn't notice that at all, did you?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYou're out of your depth, Jimmy. The question is, and always has been, what was the justification -- what Barr calls the "predicate" -- for unleashing a full-scale counter intelligence operation againat an American citizen? "The explanations I’ve gotten don’t hang together," says Barr.
"People have to find out what the government was doing during that period. If we’re worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason we should be worried about whether government officials abuse their power and put their thumb on the scale."
