Op-ed: 

An American Disgrace Bar None 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

 

"I have an obligation to the American people when we see FISA abuse."
- House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes

And so last Friday, a bit before noon and mere hours after President Trump, over F.B.I. objections, gave his official approval to have the four-page now declassified FISA memo released to the public...it was. And while there was no smoking gun per se, the memo did corroborate what many of us have suspected for some time...that the FISA warrant (along with two renewals) obtained by the F.B.I. to "investigate" former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor Carter Page was indeed based upon a “salacious and unsubstantiated” dossier of now proven “negative information” and “made-up memos” concerning then-candidate Trump. And this dossier was paid for in part by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign along with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), in a last ditch desperate attempt to find ties between now President Donald Trump, his then presidential campaign, and Russia.

And when no ties were found those involved simply made them up.

Compiled and composed by former British intelligence agent (spy) and avowed Trump-hater Christopher Steele, it was Clinton campaign and DNC lawyer Marc Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie, who initially hired Steele and funded the research by Fusion GPS that comprised the dossier's contents through October 2016. And Steele charged £130,000 for this dossier...the never disclosed in the application for the FISA warrant dossier for fear of it being found out exactly who had paid for it.

And why not disclose it...because if the dossier, which "formed an essential part" of a government request to “eavesdrop”...to spy...on Carter Page had been disclosed to the FISA court, the FISA warrant would most likely not have been granted. And when Michael Isikoff's Yahoo News' article about Carter Page's 2016 trip to Moscow (which was for a private speaking engagement totally unrelated to politics) 'supposedly' corroborated the words and accusations made in the now named 'Steele dossier,' true to form the liberal media led a lynch-mob style campaign against then candidate and now President Donald J. Trump, and they continued to do so right up to the memo's Friday release.

And what did the memo reveal...serious F.B.I. abuses of power regarding top-secret surveillance...translation: spying...on American citizens along with very serious concerns about the actual "legitimacy and legality" of the D.O.J. applications seeking FISA permission to spy on Carter Page.

Also revealed but kept from the FISA court was that it was the D.O.J. who shielded the truth about the DNC paying "to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties to Russia," and that it was the D.O.J. who did not reveal that Christopher Steele, who it described as a "longtime FBI source," had been in contact with news organizations...like Yahoo News...which ultimately led the F.B.I. to terminate his use as an informant.

And kept from the FISA court was the fact of Steele's telling that D.O.J. Official Bruce Ohr was "desperate that Donald Trump not get elected,” and that his wife was employed by Fusion GPS, which hired M16 agent Steele...a vicious circle of events for sure. And while Steele had a history of "credible reporting on other unrelated matters," the committee's memo said the F.B.I. and the D.O.J. should have told the court about Steele's decidedly "anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations." 
 
And now the Democrats, the F.B.I. the D.O.J. and the media all have egg on their face because the bottom line is this...as per the memo neither anyone on the Trump campaign nor President Trump himself ever colluded with Russia to steal or influence the election nor did they ever obstruct justice.

Simply, it was the Clinton campaign and the DNC who did all that aided by the Obama controlled F.B.I. and D.O.J. Yes...Obama controlled...for who was the head of the F.B.I. at this time but James 'I found her innocent before even investigating her' Comey (who Trump should never have allowed to stay on in his position), with Loretta 'tarmac' Lynch as the head of the D.O.J...both proven to be Obama and Hillary loyalists.

And so President Trump was right in his accusations that both the F.B.I. and the D.O.J. were indeed guilty of “political bias” against his campaign, a possible Trump presidency, and against he himself. In other words...President Trump was vindicated and this useless money and time wasted investigation needs to be shut down post-haste.

"They know there was no collusion...I have been saying this for a year now,” so said Rep. Devin Nunes...the memo's unsung hero who was the only one to demand bank records...in speaking with FOX News' Brett Baier after the memo's release.

Also saying that Deputy F.B.I. Director Andrew McCabe, who last Monday resigned before he could be fired, never testified to the House panel in 2016, and that the FISA warrant would not have been obtained without the Steele dossier, Rep. Nunes added that the Democrats keep claiming that he had not read all the information supplied before comprising the memo. But the fact is that Nunes did indeed read all the official information Trey Gowdy had vetted and compiled on behalf of the House Intelligence Committee.

And while who compiled said information and who read what might seem a trivial point, know it is not for if a lie is told about something as mundane as who read what and when they read it you just know lies have been told throughout this entire farce of a Russian investigation, after all lies are the hallmark of those who served in the Obama administration. And the key players in this farce of a Russian investigation were indeed Obama appointees.

So while President Trump takes his rightful victory lap saying in a Saturday tweet that, "This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!"...know this story is far from over as the Democrats immediately started countering the memo saying the memo's release was a “dangerous upheaval of established oversight norms in favor of partisan politics, in an effort to discredit the Mueller investigation.”

Led off by California's Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, who fired back with a tweet of his own saying that, "Quite the opposite, Mr. President. The most important fact disclosed in this otherwise shoddy memo was that FBI investigation began July 2016 with your advisor, Papadopoulos, who was secretly discussing stolen Clinton emails with the Russians."
 

Then there is New York's Rep. Jerry Nadler, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and a man who believes that Carter Page was more likely than not an agent of a "foreign power," saw him releasing a six-page rebuttal memo claiming that the Nunes memo is "deliberately misleading and deeply wrong on the law" in its central allegation of wrongdoing by the F.B.I. and the  D.O.J. Also saying that the Nunes memo "does not provide a single shred of evidence" that the information in the unverified Steele dossier was "inaccurate in any way," what Nadler is doing is regurgitating the Democrats accusations that the memo's release is just an excuse to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, end the D.O.J. “engagement” of special counsel Robert Mueller...who just happened to be appointed to said position by Rod Rosenstein...and to end the entire investigation itself.

And Nadler's rebuttal saw ten top congressional Democrats including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, sending a letter to President Trump warning him that they would consider terminations of the top leadership at the D.O.J. or the F.B.I. as "an attempt to obstruct justice."
 
A threat I would say bordering on if not outright blackmail.

But the truth is that ending the investigation would have serious ramifications not for Republicans per se but for the conniving lying Democrats come the November mid-terms and especially for the ten letter writing Democrats... ramifications with very serious consequences to pay...and those consequences I guarantee you, when more memos and documents are released, will point to and show direct involvement by Hillary Clinton and Barack HUSSEIN Obama himself.

And why...if you tuned into last Friday's RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS broadcast you would have heard my RSP radio partner Craig Andresen and I put the pieces of this entire smoke and mirrors investigation together. But if you could not tune in here is our “truth” as to who we believe orchestrated this entire shameful scenario and why.

Let's start with the fact that the Nunes memo was comprised from the very same information that the House Intelligence Committee garnered regarding FISA warrants that were used to spy on then candidate Trump, his advisors, and his campaign team. But the question is why manufacture a dossier, smear innocents, and risk getting caught in the first place? Why...simply because Obama, Hillary, and their people needed at all costs...with collateral damage be damned...to stop Donald J. Trump from getting the nomination and becoming president as Hillary had...absolutely had...to win the election so Barack HUSSEIN Obama could have his third term in office. Remember, this is the same group of miscreants that wanted to do away with the Constitutionally mandated two-term presidential limit.

And as the campaign season rolled out, this group of plotters looked at the crowds Donald Trump was drawing to his rallies and they got scared as they saw the momentum was going towards a businessman and his 'Make America Great Again' platform while Hillary's rallies both before and after the convention continuously drew mediocre if not outright low numbers. They saw non-politician Trump's message resonating with the middle class while professional politician Hillary Clinton's message was falling flat for her platform was basically nonexistent. Even socialist masquerading as a Democrat Bernie Sanders was drawing larger crowds than she was.

Now sensing the real possibility that Hillary could lose not only the nomination but the election itself thus denying their anointed “savior” Barack HUSSEIN Obama his third term in office...we believe that deals were made allowing Hillary to secure the nomination instead of D.N.C. wanted Bernie Sanders but with Obama secure in the knowledge that he would be pulling Hillary's strings. 

Scrambling to put something...to put anything...together to stop what was now becoming clear to them that Donald Trump could very well win, and with lies and back stabbing serving them well in the past, the dossier scenario was hatched with Carter Page becoming the fall guy. And why did they pick Carter Page...because they knew he had made a recent trip to Russia not for Trump but for the university he worked for, but they knew that with enough twisting of the truth and with their counting on the sheeple buying into said twisting...their plan to take Trump down via the dossier was set into motion.

And proof of this can clearly be seen by simply looking at the dates of when all this dossier nonsense started...as in it started shortly before the 2016 Republican nominating convention. And why at that time...because the plotters, the D.N.C., and Hillary herself knew that her presidential campaign was in deep trouble. And when all the dots are connected it draws a picture that takes you directly to the top to Obama...for we believe it was he who gave the order to initiate and then execute the dossier plan via the phony Russian investigation. And Obama did so for what was obviously his being denied not only his coveted third term in office but his pecking order...if you will...at the U.N...an organization that no longer heralds Obama as the possible next in line Secretary General.

So with the Nunes memo now being the all-important confirmation of what some of us have long suspected and with more memos soon to be released...memos involving other departments as in the State Department... notice how certain key Democrats..like for instance Donna Brazille and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin... are starting to distance themselves somewhat from their party and especially from those they believe to be directly involved. And while it's the hierarchy at both the F.B.I. and the D.O.J. who are the guilty parties... 'rank-and-file' F.B.I. agents and lower-level D.O.J. attorneys seem not to be involved...but they too are as angry as we are that their bosses have proven to be just as corrupt as both Hillary and Obama. 

Reeling as we are in the fact that these folks would sink to the levels they have to try to 'fix' a presidential election and destroy what 'We the People' hold most dear...our right to freely vote for whom we think to be the best to lead our country...our republic...they too know that charges should be brought, trials should be scheduled, and sentences should be adjudicated, but sadly with Jeff Sessions as attorney general they too know nothing of the sort will happen.

And that folks is the saddest thing of all.
