The CIA sent a memo to Peter Strzok saying it had intel that Clinton was trying to frame Trump for Russia ties. Strzok concealed it from the team tasked with investigating Russia. When one agent found out, he felt so "betrayed" that he stormed out.
FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Dina Corsi told the team not to put anything in writing about the fake dossier, in what an FBI lawyer in the room said was "the most inappropriate operational or professional statement he had ever heard at the FBI."
FBI agents said top brass pressured them intensely to continue investigating "dry holes," and they were asking, "What are we even doing here?" because it was so obviously fake. The Steele dossier went missing within FBI for 75 days before being foisted on them with no time to vet
While chasing down every conceivable flimsy rabbit hole sourced from literally fabricated anonymous sources saying preposterous things, the FBI studiously avoided simply getting to the bottom of it by refusing to interview those most involved: Dolan, Papadapolous, Carter Page.

The FBI offered to pay $1M to Steele to get Trump, and it paid his main source Danchenko $220k *after* Danchenko was unable to substantiate a single claim. The FBI had significant evidence that Danchenko may have been a Russian spy himself.
FBI investigated Danchenko after a Brookings Institute colleague said he floated the idea of paying him for classified docs. It found corroborating evidence, then closed the probe because it mistakenly believed he'd left the country. Discovered its mistake, but didn't reopen it.
FBI’s CHS Validation Management Unit was "strongly of the opinion" that D was a spy, but agent Kevin Helson falsely wrote in a source application that there was no derogatory information. Also falsely recounted a convo with another agent to make the evidence against D seem weak.
A Satanist, the aide to the Loudoun school board chair, and a staffer of the prosecutor were part of a group whose members made a list of 115 neighbors--including a church--and attempted to destroy the lives of people who opposed leftism in schools.
The group sought to help D's whether the rape scandal. SB chair Ian Serotkin's aide wrote "We really need to hold the line.” The group targeted the lawyer for the 9th grade rape victim with conspiracies, and spoke of "curbstomping" a sexual assault survivor who advocated for her.
They plotted media strategy together with the help of a campaign consultant to the Dem sheriff, who urged a gay man to pretend he got threats, and a reporter for Loudoun Now, who gave advice about interviewing with her colleague.
Left-wing activists with close ties to Democrat politicians plotted secretly to destroy conservatives and Christians, gleefully discussing their deaths and repeatedly scheming to get them fired, according to thousands of pages of 2022 online chat logs.
“Someone gonna get hurt on their side and I hope I get to do it,” Derek Summers wrote. “I’m soo ready to show up with guns lol,” added Summers, a rapper who offered firearms training to the group. On Facebook, he repeatedly posted pictures of himself with guns, calling one "love"
The group included a campaign staffer to Loudoun's Soros-backed prosecutor and others with ties to her. Members suggested that soft-on-crime policies could work to their benefit: "If it’s a misdemeanor no one will prosecute me anyway, right?”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor has received $3.6M from book publisher Penguin Random House, but repeatedly declined to recuse from cases where the publisher stood to lose money-even as Stephen Breyer recused for taking a tiny fraction of that amount from Penguin
The year after she received a $2M book advance, she took part in the vote that denied “cert” to an author suing the publisher for copyright infringement. Sotomayor is a prolific author+her book pay was her only source of outside earned income. But unlike Breyer, she didn’t recuse
Then in Nov. 2019, she received a “cert” petition from an author suing Penguin--on the same day she received a check from it. The court denied cert (which helped Penguin) and soon after she received her largest royalty check ever, and has since signed more book deals.
Nashville said it would release the Covenant shooter's manifesto, but now it's refusing, apparently claiming that it can't because it's... being sued for not releasing it. (The lawsuit, of course, would go away if it released it.)
Nashville's Democrats are positioning the shooting by a transgender woman (during a period where transgender activists were angry at Republican lawmakers) as being about guns. But what it was really about is knowable--the shooter said she left so much evidence there'd be no doubt
Nashville PD say the order came from Metro Legal, part of the same Metro body that restored Justin Jones to the legislature after he disrupted proceedings to position the shooting as being about gun control. PD said just last week it'd release the records.
The Biden administration hired as a "senior adviser" the activist behind the "zenith of cancel culture," in which she in 2020 bizarrely bullied WaPo into ruining the life of a random woman for wearing an offensive Halloween costume years prior.
Lexie Gruber (who is Puerto Rican) showed up invited at a party hosted by Post cartoonist Tom Toles and screamed at a random woman who was wearing blackface to criticize Megyn Kelly. Two years later, she tracked down the woman, refused to accept an apology, and got her fired.
People on all sides were shocked that the Post gave into her bullying to report on something that was clearly not newsworthy. (Gruber's black friend, on whose behalf she was presumably offended, was later cancelled for calling someone a "fag" in the presence of a trans person.)
