Justice IG: "Steele's reports played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening. "
IG: The FBI gathered sufficient evidence to open its investigation on Trump aides George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort. It "reasonably indicated activity constituting either a federal crime or a threat to national security, or both."
IG: "we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation" in the opening of the FBI's Russia investigation.

Barr authorized the surveillance program in 1992. A DOJ Inspector General report concluded this year (a mere 27 years later) that the government hadn't tried to determine whether the program was legal before starting it, and hinted that perhaps it wasn't.
Background: For decades, the DEA secretly gathered data on billions of calls from the United States to 116 countries. It was the government's first known bulk surveillance program, gathering data regardless of whether people were suspected of a crime.

The odds of DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility, which reports to Barr, acting on Sen. Wyden's request that it investigate Barr are, uhhh, not exceptionally high.

✅ Trump Aide Rick Gates Pled Guilty
✅ Trump NSA Advisor Michael Flynn Pled Guilty
@realDonaldTrump Mitch McConnell used nuclear option to tamper with Supreme Court, budget trick to ram through 1% tax cut and has consistently worked against the people. He’s up for re-election. If everyone who read this chipped in $5 we’d flip Kentucky #MitchMustGo ➡️ secure.actblue.com/donate/resistm…
@realDonaldTrump Doug Jones is one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for re-election. We have real problems, that need real solutions. Every seat counts. Doug Jones needs our help to hold Alabama.

💥Trump aide Rick Gates requested three proposals from Israeli intelligence firm Psy-Group to create fake online identities, to use social media manipulation & to gather intelligence, "Project Rome" used code names:

Trump: Lion
Clinton: Forest
Cruz: Bear

nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Gates heard about Psy-Group’s work at a March 2016 mtg w/George Birnbaum a Republican consultant with close ties to Israeli govt officials - Birnbaum was a protégé of Republican operative Arthur Finkelstein - In 1996 they worked on Netanyahu’s campaign
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
While the article says Zamel denies presenting the proposals or that they were pursued, there's still the matter of $2 million George Nader - who Erik Prince introduced to Don Jr. in 2016 - reportedly paid Psy-Group after the election
