Barr is right, spying on Trump campaign did occur

HORSE ****. No COURT was involved in the LONDON SET UP, or HALPER's illegal activities....


And the Obama Swamp KGB-FBI/DOJ already admitted UNDER OATH that they failed to reveal the ORIGING of the DOSSIER, or that is was NOT FBI INTEL, and that is UNVERIFIED, when they presented it to the FISA COURT.

It is ALL GOING TO COME OUT, and the OBAMA SWAMP will not be able to COVER FOR THEM ANYMORE...like they did before now.

They have ALL BEEN FIRED.


Get ready..it's coming, and you aren't gonna like it.

A summation of the basis for Barr's claim, and the ridiculousness of all the "faux outrage" from the Fake News/Lying Left, who were basically COMPLICIT in the spying on the Trump Campaign:



Barr is right, spying on Trump campaign did occur


Democrats and some in the media expressed shock and outrage when Attorney General William Barr said Wednesday that "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. Cable news commentators called Barr's statement "stunning" and appeared baffled that the attorney general would make such a claim "without evidence."
The baffling thing was why they were baffled. Barr's statement was accurate and supported by publicly known facts.

That is entirely accurate. It is a fact that in October 2016 the FBI wiretapped Carter Page, who had earlier been a short-term foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. The bureau's application to a secret court for that wiretapping is public. It is heavily redacted but is clearly focused on Page and "the Russian government's attempt to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election." Page was wiretapped because of his connection with the Trump campaign. Some critics have noted that the wiretap authorization came after Page left the campaign. But the surveillance order allowed authorities to intercept Page's electronic communications both going forward from the day of the order and backward, as well. Investigators could see Page's emails and texts going back to his time in the campaign.

That alone is enough to back up Barr's remark. But it is also known that the FBI engaged at least one informant, a professor named Stefan Halper, to penetrate the Trump campaign. The New York Times recently reported, "Agents involved in the Russia investigation asked Mr. Halper, an American academic who teaches in Britain, to gather information on Mr. Page and George Papadopoulos, another Trump campaign foreign policy adviser." Halper went beyond Page and Papadopoulos, also contacting and seeking information from Trump campaign aide Sam Clovis. "It was not clear whether Mr. Halper had the FBI's blessing to contact Mr. Clovis," the Times said.
The Halper case is more evidence that "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. At least in the cases of Page and Papadopoulos, the information gathering was done by an informant engaged by the FBI.

So, let me get this straight. The AG of the USA, in a hearing (under oath I assume?) stated that he has no evidence that any spying occurred.

But a random columnist does?

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and his allies are claiming that the partial contents of a secret national security "FISA" warrant, released Saturday, vindicate their claim that special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation was improperly launched on the basis of a speculative opposition research document paid for by Democrats.

The Trump camp says the probe has its roots in the "Trump dossier" compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, which alleges collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

"So we now find out that it was indeed the unverified and Fake Dirty Dossier, that was paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC, that was knowingly & falsely submitted to FISA and which was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited Mueller Witch Hunt!" the president wrote in a tweet Monday morning.

Trump also continues to suggest that the electronic surveillance of his one-time campaign aide, Carter Page, which was authorized by the FISA warrant, launched the Russia probe.

Both of these assertions are false.

Here is why.

The Russia investigation wasn't launched because of Carter Page.

The heavily redacted documents released Saturday comprise an application to, and subsequent renewals by, judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court allowing the FBI to investigate Page, a foreign policy aide to the Trump campaign. But it's already been established by the House Intelligence Committee that the Russia investigation began after the FBI learned that another campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, had been approached by a Russian agent. The agent told Papadopoulos the Russians had incriminating information about Hillary Clinton, including emails, according to court documents.. Papadopoulos then mentioned to an Australian diplomat that the Russians had "dirt" on Clinton, the Australians contacted the U.S. government, and the FBI began to take a look.

Justice Department And Intelligence Officials Brief The Bipartisan Gang Of Eight Regarding Confidential FBI Source In Russia ProbeHouse Intelligence Committee ranking member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) (C) heads for a meeting of the members of the so-called 'Gang of Eight' and intelligence officials at the U.S. Capitol on May 24, 2018 in Washington, DC.Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images file
The so-called dossier formed only a smart part of the evidence used to meet the legal burden of establishing "probable cause" that Page was an agent of Russia.

The released documents contain dozens of pages that are entirely blacked out. People who have read them, including Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, say they contain secret evidence establishing ties between Page and Russians — evidence that goes beyond what was included in the dossier compiled by Christopher Steele. Frank Figliuzzi, the former FBI counterintelligence chief who is now an NBC News contributor, says that likely includes reporting from human sources and intercepted communications. Page, it should be said, denies that he was an agent of Russia and has not been charged with a crime.

I have responded to your post. The spying that occurred was authorized as it was done on people that had acted suspiciously in favor of Russia. PERIOD!

As far as the Steele Dossier is concerned, it was also all done legally as hiring an investigator to investigate the opponent is legal. In addition, the FISA warrants were not exclusively based on the Steele Dossier and even if they were, the responsibility for the error (if there was one, which there wasn't) is on the Fisa Warrant judges as they are the ones that signed off on the warrants and if they felt any concern about doing so, they would not have signed them. It is up to the judges to decide.
