In an unprecedented move, the Department of Justice has released 412 pages of top-secret documents related to surveillance conducted against former Trump campaign chairman Carter Page.
The documents include an October 2016 application and three renewal applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants taken out against Page.
The New York Times and other news outlets obtained the applications through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
“Now, with the actual documents in hand, not political spin written by lawmakers with agendas, the American public can make their own decision on whether anything was inappropriate about the surveillance of Carter Page,” added Moss, who is deputy executive director for the James Madison Project, a government transparency group.
That section cites information from “Source #1” who alleged that during a trip to Moscow in July 2016, Page met secretly with two sanctioned Kremlin insiders, Igor Sechin and Igor Diveykin, as part of a collusion scheme involving the Trump campaign.
The source appears to be Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the dossier.

0bama and hillary need to go down.
Wake me up when the perp walks start. I’m out of patience and energy following this shit anymore.
@MJA: On each other? :0
Cynic, you nasty. LOL.
So is Sleepy Peanut waking up, or did this happen in spite of him?
I just finished reading the first FISC warrant application and I understand the renewals also included are for practical purposes identical. There will be some information to be gleaned from this document, but my main conclusion is that in order to honestly evaluate it the page after page after page of black bar redactions need to be published as well.
What remains after the censoring is consistent with the position best laid out by sundance at https://theconservativetreehouse.com/ – that the warrant application is a dishonest concoction based wholly or virtually so on the Steele crap “dossier” and that the FISC was lied to and mislead so they would approve the surveillance on Trump’s campaign, transition, and administration for political purposes to damage Trump and boost Dems.
Uncle Al, there’s this page that sums up pretty much everything

**Hiding**
@VAl – Priceless!
Still angry that no one has gone to jail over this crap yet.
@Val – No need to hide! That’s marvelously funny!

“[D]ishonest”? Of course. (Same as it ever is.)
“[L]ied to”? Well… kind of. (The request was “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.”)
“[M]islead”? Oh, hails no! When you coach the only side, and keep having them come back, again and again, until they can deliver the lines you’ve fed them, without cracking up, so you can say “I’d believe that story, if someone told it to me.”, you’ve not been mislead. You’ve willfully conspired.
EXCERPT: “36. This SC is nothing more than a criminal conspiracy, set up by Clinton/Mueller operatives, using corrupt DOJ/FBI agents. to take down Trump. Expose them and shut it down ASAP. Throw the book at all of them. I hope this thread helps in the effort.”

EXCERPT: “So the FBI, the finest crime fighting organization in the world, relied on an uncorroborated dossier paid for by the opposition party and FBI that gets leaked to a newspaper and then uses the article to get a warrant to spy on an American citizen.
Outrageous”

EXCERPT: “People who take the dossier seriously don’t seem to notice the obvious pattern: for many major & outlandish claims (like Page-Rosneft), Steele only “reports” it after a “publicly available” predicate has emerged. In short, Steele’s “sources” were great at reading newspapers.”

EXCERPT: “FISA relied not only on Steele dossier & dossier allegations fed to press but also poorly reported press pieces like re RNC platform on Ukraine. & for this FBI violated privacy rights of US citizen & spied on presidential campaign.”

EXCERPT: “Newly declassified FISA application on Carter Page reveals FBI never told the court that its main source — Steele — was paid through the Clinton campaign. It merely says he was hired by a “business associate” and a “law firm,” which it never ID’s as Clinton/DNC lawyer.”

As a reminder to the “where’s Sessions in all this?” people, this article explains *why/how* Sessions is using Huber, rather than another Special Council:

Comment by quotablepatella, regarding “who has to sign to approve the renewals”: “To think that Mattis, Coats, Pompeo and McMaster all signed off on this without knowing it was fraudulent is silly. This is a tangible piece of evidence that there has been a sting in place from the start of his presidency.“
