The more we have learned about the activities and role of the FBI in the so-called counterintelligence investigation the carried out on the presidential campaign of President Trump, the shadier and more disreputable it appears. We can say with some degree of conclusiveness that the FISA warrant obtained on Carter Page in October 2016 and subsequently renewed three times was done so on false pretenses and, at least the renewals, were done so with the knowledge of the entire FBI leadership that the premises were false. We know that FBI asset, Stefan Halper, was involved in operations aimed at Page and at Michael Flynn. We know that the FBI represented a long-time FBI informant as a conduit to the Russian government. We know that the hapless George Papadopoulos was targeted by one or more Western intelligence agencies and their product found its way to the FBI.
Attorney General Bill Barr has expressed some skepticism over the investigation of the Trump campaign and has appointed the US Attorney for Connecticut, John Durham, as what amounts to a special counsel to investigate the genesis of the Russia hoax. Needless to say, the FBI mafia is not happy. --
