budaatum: Do you read his post? Once I sight a MAGA monicker I scroll down immediately I can't lose braincells reading their trash. To think adults are the ones spewing unfounded rubbish amazes me and you wonder the kind of education they got. ![]() What a sorry state like Biden said last month these Qanon conspiracy nutcases need mental help.I used to read it as a story or fiction back then just to think of it as an alternative fact I never for once took it serious because these things are mainly mischief and meant to sow discord and misinfornation but to think adults take this thing seriously to the extent of believing that many of these things are real makes me believe that mental health must be taken seriously especially in this country. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith has agreed to plead guilty to falsifying a document. Because the FBI is a federal law enforcement agency with the power to arrest and charge Americans for crimes, falsifying a document is pretty serious business. It’s even more serious when you find out what he falsified: an email from the CIA. The altered document was used to persuade the highly secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to approve the FBI’s application for a third renewal of a secret wiretap on an American citizen. Stop and think about that for just a minute. The United States government’s law enforcement agency falsified a document from the U.S. government’s intelligence agency in order to persuade a judicial body to approve secret surveillance of an American. It’s important to look at this quietly and thoughtfully, because what’s at stake here is the protection of constitutional rights and liberty. There are some things the government is not permitted to do to U.S. citizens, and secretly wiretapping them without first meeting the strict requirements of the law is certainly high on that list. The citizen victimized by this abuse of power was Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser. Page, an energy executive with contacts in Russia, joined the campaign in the spring of 2016 as part of the ad hoc foreign policy team assembled during the primary season. The FBI’s Russia inquiry began on July 31, 2016, as a counter-intelligence investigation aimed at finding out if Russia was trying to recruit U.S. persons to be witting or unwitting foreign agents. Investigators suspected that Carter Page had been targeted by Russian spies. A few weeks later, on Aug. 17, the CIA provided to some members of the FBI team conducting the investigation, named “Crossfire Hurricane,” documents indicating that Carter Page had been an “operational contact” for the CIA, someone who provided the U.S. government with information derived from his conversations with Russian officials. In October 2016, the FBI asked the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to approve a secret wiretap of Page, who was by then a former campaign adviser. The application for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant alleged that there was probable cause to believe that Carter Page was the agent of a foreign power, Russia. The application omitted the information that Page had been working for years with the CIA. When nothing incriminating turned up from the wiretap, the FBI sought a renewal of the warrant, which was approved on Jan. 12, 2017, just days before Trump was inaugurated. A second renewal was sought and approved on April 7. The FISA court still was not told that Page had worked with the CIA as a source. The FBI decided to seek a third renewal of the warrant. This time the FBI’s investigator sought to clarify Page’s role with the CIA. That’s when Kevin Clinesmith changed an email from the CIA, which confirmed Page’s role. He altered “is” to “is not” a source. The FBI investigators seeking the surveillance warrant gave this altered email to the FISA court, and on June 29, 2017, the court approved a third renewal of the authorization to secretly wiretap a U.S. citizen. Clinesmith has now agreed to plead guilty to one felony count of making a false statement. This is only one of the pieces of the puzzle now being assembled by U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation. We could see indictments for illegal leaks of secret information and perhaps for other crimes. It’s easy to view these events through the lens of political alignment, but it’s important to separate the principles from the principals. In the 1970s, revelations of abuses by the nation’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies led to hearings on Capitol Hill, chaired by U.S. Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho. The Church committee’s 96 recommendations led to the enactment of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 1978. The law created the FISA court to review applications for secret warrants, part of the effort “to place intelligence activities within the constitutional scheme.” That’s what’s at stake here. Don’t let political noise trick you into dismissing the importance of your rights as an American. https://www.ocregister.com/2020/08/18/the-significance-of-a-kevin-clinesmith-guilty-plea/ |

ono: Hey Ono, they falsified the FISA warrant to get to legally surveil Carter Page. The actual warrant to surveil him was built on a simple type. Surveil two levels of his contacts. If he was talking to Mr X who in turn was in contact with Mr Y, the type of warrant granted allowed FBI to collect all comms from Carter Page, Mr X and Mr Y And not just simple comms, they were allowed to collect all emails, phone calls, GSM locations on the two tiers of his contacts. In short since Carter Page had contact with say Jared Kushner who had contacts with Trump , the warrant allowed FBI to collect everything on Kushner and Trump. These are the crimes that they don't want Durham or Trump to expose, to an extent of starting a civil war. theconservativetreehouse.com has more details on the whole shenanigans. 1 Like |
