1. MAGA Twitter Peeps, this is really important. Really, really, important. I'll try to explain why.

theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/06/bre…
2. Tonight the DOJ has agreed to allow dozens of congressional members the ability to review the full and unreadacted content of the FBI/DOJ FISA Title-1 Surveillance application used against Carter Page. scribd.com/doc/375730245
3. This is a big deal because *MOST* congress-men/woman and Senators don't actually read this stuff. They send their cleared staff.
4. There's maybe a handful of politicians (less than 10 out of 500) in DC that have ever actually taken the time to go to the DOJ/FBI and ever look at anything. I know it might sound weird, but it's true... they don't do that sort of thing.
5. 85% of a DC politicians time is spent figuring out what to eat, how to eat at five-stars for free (via lobbyists) and other issues involving indulgent DC life.
6. That's not cynicism, it's just the way it is. Most politicians have never been into a SCIF on purpose. [Sometimes their activity takes them into SCIF's accidentally.] Politicians are incredibly lazy and use staff for EVERYTHING.
7. The reason that matters in this example, is because the DOJ is allowing dozens of non elected staff to see the highest classified intelligence product generated by the U.S. Department of Justice. scribd.com/doc/375730245
8. Each of those people is a potential leak agent for a concentric circle of around 10 more leak agents. Every leak agent trades information as currency in DC. If you have good information you can trade it for massive indulgences.
9. Wall ST. investors, Hedge Funds, some media, and scores of Lobbyists pay big $$$ for information. The content of this FISA application could be worth a bundle. Etc. Etc. That's why the DOJ says this is an: unprecedented "extraordinary accommodation."
10. The DOJ is allowing congress and staff to view a full Top Secret FISA Title-1 Application as presented to the FISA Court.
11. But much more interesting is the timing. It was only a week ago when IG Michael Horowitz said he was going to review the potential corruption by DOJ and FBI officials within the FISA process.
12. Inspector General Michael Horowitz and Federal Prosecutor John Huber are working hand in glove on the issues within the ongoing investigation(s).
13. Do you really think Horowitz and Huber completed their FISA investigation between March 28th and April 6th?

In.A.Week?

[With an Easter break also]
14. Of course not. And when you accept that reality, therein you realize the Horowitz FISA investigative announcement was made *AFTER* they had collected all FISA investigative evidence.
15. ...Otherwise Huber and Horowitz would never give permission for the centerpiece of their DOJ/FBI FISA corruption investigation to be released to dozens of leak agents in the House and Senate.
16. The willingness of DOJ (Sessions/Rosenstein) to allow access to the Page FISA application, at the same time IG expanded his investigation therein, would indicate IG Horowitz and Federal Prosecutor John Huber completed their review of evidentiary weight already.
17. Which begs the question.... what would be the investigative approach for Horowitz/Huber to be looking at FBI/DOJ FISA corruption. Who would be the key player(s) on the DOJ "Main Justice" side?... and who on the FBI side?
18. We also have to factor in the timing (as previously noted); and the full scope of all the dots on the *BIG* white board. Remember on Main Justice side it's the DOJ National Security Divsion:
19. And on the FBI side it's the Counterintelligence Division. (Priestap, Strzok, et al)
20. Who is the BIGGEST FISH in this FISA mix; who is still within reach; has been entirely invisible; is a SME on the FBI counterintelligence info within the FISA application; and has been running silent and deep? This guy:
21. On March 28th Inspector General Michael Horowitz was not announcing this FISA investigative avenue from a position of just starting to gather evidence. He already had the evidence.
22. On March 28th, Horowitz was announcing the context for him to drop a report summarizing his and Huber's findings of content from their investigation. A report that has nothing to do with the original launch (Jan '17) of the OIG investigation.
23. Horowitz and Huber had already investigated the FISA angle. The March 28th announcement was simply responding to a request for congress that generated a reason to include it.
24. The FISA investigation angle was perhaps the easiest, because all of the key FBI players were still inside the FBI. Most of the critical *investigative* principals attached to the FISA Title-1 application, and the downstream issues, are still within the system.
25. It's the Main Justice [DOJ-NSD] side where all of the co-conspirators bailed out. Carlin, Yates, McCord, Laufman, etc. And thankfully Dana Boente arrived there early enough (April '17) to stop anyone from wiping their fingerprint trail.
26. There's really only one big question behind the FISA application that is hidden within a very unusual set of compartmentalized circumstances.
27. There has been some discussion of a possibility the FISA application held by the Department of Justice, and used to structurally create the Nunes memo, may not be the same FISA Title-1 application held by the FISA Court per Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer.
28. If, and this is a big “if”, there are actually two versions, the consequences are astronomical. Almost immediately Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, James Comey and Andrew McCabe would be indicted.

[The downstream DOJ ramifications are infinite]
29. House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte has been trying to ensure that did not happen. Goodlatte requested the FISA Court application. Unfortunately, that issue remains unresolved through today. theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/02/15/fis…
31. Serious. I pray there is only one version. The number of FBI cases that would be at risk if it was proven the FBI intentionally gave false information to the FISA court to obtain warrants (then covering it up to oversight) would be off-the-charts.
32. Bottom line, there is an epicenter person who would know all of the answers to these, and other questions. Yeah, the quiet name.....
33. Never having appeared before congress for questioning... Yet the Director of Counterintelligence for the FBI is still in exactly the same job he held throughout. He's obviously cooperating with Horowitz/Huber because we see indications of his sworn investigative statements:
34. And that's how Horowitz/Huber gathered all of their information on the FBI application for the Title-1 FISA surveillance request on Carter Page. That's why congressional staff is now being allowed to see the highest classified intelligence within the Justice Dept.
35. More information in two videos. Here's video #1:
