“Based on the Department’s findings, of the hundreds of pages of facts contained in the 29 applications audited by the OIG, the Department has identified only one material misstatement and one material omission, neither of which we assess to have invalidated the authorizations.”
So, only one small mistatement and one omission found in 29 Applications, neither of which undermined probable cause compared to the Carter Page application that had over 50 errors and omissions, 17 significant errors/omissions that DID undermine and invalidate the application.
This is 100% irrefutable proof that the errors and omissions in the Carter Page applications were not routine at all like the lawfare crowd and other collusion truthers claimed. It’s 100% proof that the process went off the rails ONLY when spying on the Trump Campaign.
It’s also 100% proof that we don’t need to scrap the FISA Program, it’s working fine, we just need to punish those involved in Crossfire Hurricane.

We could put 100k troops in Afghanistan tomorrow and it wouldn’t matter unless our mission was to clear and hold which it hasn’t been since 2011. Troop size is an arbitrary number if it doesn’t further the mission and it’s clear the beltway class has no clue what their doing.
This isn’t the 1940’s. We aren’t fighting conventional wars anymore. If we are holding true to our current mission of targeting Islamic terrorism, the only way to do that is through actionable intelligence and clear, concise, targeted operations that don’t require large numbers.
I’ve seen politicians and pundits debate the number of troops for months while never once making clear what our objective is, what offensive operations are currently underway and how a reduced number of troops in country would hinder that objective or current operations.
.@LindseyGrahamSC, .@DevinNunes please compare FBI Lawyer Trisha Anderson’s testimony to the House on the Carter Page FISA process to the testimony Sally Yates gave yesterday before the Senate. You may have a criminal referral for Perjury to send out.
Ms. Anderson: “There were individuals, all the way up to the Deputy Director and the Deputy Attorney General on the DOJ side, who had essentially given their approval to the FISA before it got to that step in the process. That part of it was unusual, and so I didn’t...
consider my review at that point in the process to be substantive in nature.”
Compared to Yates testimony yesterday in which she states that she only approved after the information came up through the FBI.
Bill Priestap, Former FBI Assistant Director for CI, told the senate that he wanted to include the Dossier in the ICA, “even though the FBI didn’t stand behind it” because Obama wanted all information relevant to Russian interference in the ICA. intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/…
So why did the FBI want the dossier in the ICA so badly even if it was unvetted while Brennan was against the idea of including it? Did the FBI just want to follow Obama’s orders or they realized they messed up and didn’t want to take the entire fall for spying on the Trump Camp?
Page Dec 2016: “I’m just saying the C (classified) portion is absolutely different from the bulk of the stuff in the community. And the community and especially the WH will jump all over it since it’s what they WANT to say and they can attribute it to us, not themselves” ....
@shipwreckedcrew His entire article is full of hyperbole until he gets to the wire comment stuff. Hirono did not let RR explain the full story which is: On 05/16/17 McCabe finally told Rosenstein that he opened an investigation on POTUS...
@shipwreckedcrew Rosenstein responded sarcastically “oh sure I’ll wear a wire” because he thought McCabe couldn’t be serious. After realizing what McCabe had done, Rosenstein knew McCabe couldn’t be entrusted with continung to lead the investigation so he appointed Mueller...
@shipwreckedcrew As Rosenstein confirmed yesterday he appointed Muelker because: 1. There were no senate confirmed US Attorneys 2. He believed McCabe couldn’t lead the investigation.
McCabe and Comey claimed it was because of the memos which is false.
Is there anyone left in the nation that is still stupid enough to buy this Fake News Grift? Seriously slap yourself if you think this is a real official after the NYT’s “Anonymous” that still mysteriously hasn’t come forward. This is insulting to everyone’s intelligence @axios.
The lies the media tells that are so obviously fake are even more infuriating than their regular hysterical criticism of Trump. These are the stories where the media shows what they think of us. They think we all have the memory of a peanut. It’s fucking insulting.
The clear reality of this story? Axios didn’t have the guts to criticize Trump outright so attributed their own criticisms to some “Senior official” that they so obviously made up. Frauds and cowards.
