TSOT094: Revelatory Tidbits Around the 2016 Events that Dwarf Watergate
Jul 21, 03:14 PM
We've covered the Steele dossier before. But I'm guilty of not really putting it into its proper political context. Plus there was a detail I'd missed that further takes the cake.
In essence the FISA court warrant was activity to spy on an opposing campaign and candidate during the election season.
That's the definition of the crime that was Watergate.
But it is times a thousand.
They didn't just break into an office building. Instead by deceiving judges as to what they really knew, and instead holding up the Steele dossier as unvarnished and unchallenged truth, when they knew differently, they were authorized to use the surveillance capacities of the federal government itself to spy upon their largest political opponent.
But wait... The FISA court actually denied them!
SO THEY JUDGE SHOPPED AND TOOK THE SAME CLAIMS BACK TO ANOTHER FISA JUDGE WITHOUT TELLING THEM OF THE INITIAL REJECTION!
The ridiculous FISA courts traditions are nothing like usual legal traditions and you don't have to! It's secret. Which means the Obama-primed FBI would actually have to take the initiative to just be honest. Just because they should have a pang of conscience about it. So of course that did not happen.
