F.B.I. Sent Investigator Posing as Assistant to Meet With Trump Aide in 2016

The Department agreed with the merits of undertaking this consolidation project, and the result is the draft guidelines we are discussing today. These guidelines retain the same basic structure of predicated investigations on the one hand, and pre- investigative activity on the other—currently called threat assessments on the national security side and prompt and limited checking of leads on the criminal side.

Can you present evidence before this forum to conclusively prove that B. Hussein Obama was unaware of the actions of a branch of the Executive, which he headed at the time in question, BRAD?

all he did was appoint the people that the deep state told its puppet to appoint........
 
Good question lol.

My guess is the order came from the 7th Floor. They could have gone rogue though.

I actually don’t care about Obama.

I can't recall that we've ever seen the information about the actual FISA warrant have we?........did the Mueller report ever indicate they interviewed the judge who signed it about what he was told?......

Trump threatened to release them but backed off. Barr is going to see them—if he hasn’t already.

I doubt Mullet bothered with it because his investigation was Trump-centric.
 
You are mixing up two different things, you need a predicate for a warrant, and a judge issued that.... You do not legally need a predicate to investigate something.

Sounds like somebody better have a good predicate to spy on a presidential campaign.

Democrats didn’t do themselves any favors in antagonizing Barr, threatening him and smearing him. I get the idea he may become more ‘motivated’ to get to the bottom of this.
 
Simply talking to Russians gets you ‘investigated’ now lol?

What country are in?
I think you have some ACTUAL research to do before you continue discussing this what anyone other than Dummkopf. You really look silly when you ask adolescent questions.
 
Predicate is just legalese for ‘justification’.

You have to have a legitimate justification to spy or use surveillance on US citizens. Fourth Amendment and all that. Barr wants to find out if spying on the Trump campaign was justified.

I don’t know what the big deal is unless democrats have something to fear from the investigation.

They are sure acting like they do have something to fear from it.
Have you forgotten, or do you just ignore how the FBI first took interest in Page? It was indeed by spying.

But on whom?
 
The conversation at a London bar in September 2016 took a strange turn when the woman sitting across from George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, asked a direct question: Was the Trump campaign working with Russia? The woman had set up the meeting to discuss foreign policy issues. But she was actually a government investigator posing as a research assistant, according to people familiar with the operation. The F.B.I. sent her to London as part of the counterintelligence inquiry

FBI Deep State In Panic Mode… Spygate Bombshell Just Dropped


This kills Mueller’s report on when the investigation began. In fact this completely kills the whole Russian collusion charge. For the NYT to be publishing this means the mustard is about to come off the hot dog.
Thanks, volrock. The investigation of the investigators proceeds.

The Russians lol!

Why do you find it insignificant that they got it so wrong about Page? Page was deemed an innocent man even after a Mullet rectal exam.
 
he Daily Caller News Foundation first reported on March 25, 2018 that Halper had contact during the campaign with three Trump aides: Papadopoulos, Carter Page, and Sam Clovis. Halper and Page first met on July 11, 2016 at a political event held at Cambridge, where Halper served as a director for an intelligence seminar. The pair remained in contact through September 2017, meeting on occasion in the Washington, D.C., area.

Halper reached out to Papadopoulos out of the clear blue on Sept. 2, 2016, offering the young Trump adviser $3,000 and a trip to London to discuss writing an academic paper on Mediterranean Sea energy issues

According to Papadopoulos, both Halper and Turk asked him whether he knew about Russian hacks of Democrats. Papadopoulos says he had knowledge of Russian hacking operations, and conveyed that to the two covert agents.

Papadopoulos says that he did not meet again with Turk, in part because he suspected she was working with foreign intelligence agencies. He has recently said he believes that Turk, who spoke little English during the London meetings, has links to the CIA and Turkish intelligence.

Unknown to Papadopoulos at the time of the London meetings was that the FBI was investigating whether he and other Trump campaign advisers were conspiring with Russia to influence the election. The FBI opened its counterintelligence investigation of the campaign on July 31, 2016, after receiving information from the Australian government regarding Papadopoulos.

Alexander Downer, a top Australian diplomat to the U.K., claimed that Papadopoulos mentioned to him during a meeting in London on May 10, 2016 that he had heard Russia had information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Papadopoulos has claimed he did not see, handle or disseminate any Clinton-related information. He pleaded guilty in the special counsel’s investigation to making false statements to the FBI during an interview on Jan. 27, 2017. He was not charged with conspiracy with Russia.

The Times report provides other details about the Papadopoulos operation. According to the story:

An FBI counterintelligence official based in New York tasked Halper to make contact with the Trump campaign
Halper was an FBI information for at least two decades
Azra Turk was a trained investigator who was used in part to protect Halper from being revealed as an informant in the event charges were brought against Papadopoulos

The Justice Department’s inspector general is looking at the FBI’s use of Halper, including whether the bureau had adequate control of the informant, according to The Times. Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, has been investigating whether the FBI abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act during its investigation of the Trump campaign.

The FBI relied heavily on the unverified Steele dossier to obtain four FISA warrants against Carter Page.

TheDCNF reached out to both Halper and Turk in March 2018. A man who answered a phone with Halper’s number denied he was Halper. Emails and phone calls placed to Turk were not returned. Turk’s phone number has since been disconnected.

The “spying” that was ridiculed by the left, actually was spying...on a political opponent. Not good.

Barr has 0 creditability. There will be an investigation to satisfy the man with the golden toilet, but there will be no findings, it will just be drawn out to November 2020, so Rump can throw innuendo and threats out.... It will occupy the place of the Benghazi and email "investigations" from 2016.
