Hillary Clinton loyalists fed the FBI’s upper echelon an assortment of anti-Donald Trump criminal accusations during the 2016 campaign and his presidency, according to a string of interview transcripts released in recent weeks. James A. Baker, former FBI general counsel who participated on the receiving end, testified that the situation was “horrible” and “highly unusual.” At least 10 of Mrs. Clinton’s supporters directly or via middlemen told the bureau tales about Russia-Trump conspiracies. It appears to be an unprecedented effort by a presidential campaign and the party in power to count

Old news. Already knew about this stuff for the past year and a half at least.
Glad to at least see Barr looking into the matter. But, am not holding my breath that anything will come of it.

How come well all know about this and somehow the media doesn´t? Rush and Sean have been reporting this crap for 2 years + and they were quoting NEWS REPORTS primarily found in NEWS PAPERS.
Many of these "revelations" were printed in an end of an article and only diligent people caught it and others ignored it.

The article focuses on the FBI and DOJ but leaves out the intelligence services which may have been the the starting point of some of this and certainly provided assets to probe Page and Papadopoulos. It also sucked in Congressional reps like Reid and McCain. The FISA court was corrupted, possibly with the help of a "friendly" judge who didn´t look too closely at the particulars because his buddies were presenting it to him. All these actors sucked in the sycophant propaganda media as well with illegal leaks.
This is critical because it´s NOT just about a clique of bad actors in the FBI and DOJ. It spreads broadly through the government and THAT doesn´t happen without some coordination and knowledge at the top.
It´s an massive scandal not only for WHAT was done but also for the breadth of government involvement in the scheme and the inclusion of the media.
You want some "collusion", here it is. It´s YUGE!

Wow Rowan; we didn´t know every single point you made since at least January, 2017. Going for the next Howie Kurtz, Firm-Grasp-Of-The-Obvious Award?

Hitlery´s people used ´stories´ that really happened.... with and to the Klintons, just look at their uranium deal. The so called ´dossier´ was probably something that also took place, with Bill Clinton. They knew they always get away with everything so they just attached all their filth to President Trump. This time hopefully it backfired on the old had and the ho´ boy´!

Poster #1 may be right. As in the end there may well be a “food fight” between the Obama loyalists and the Clinton loyalists trying the save themselves, with elements of both camps ending up with criminal liability. You have to hope so, because if the Democrat generated “spying” against a Republican Presidential candidate and elected President is not resolved, and straightened out, common sense will tell you that it will be much worse the next time around.

FTA: "The transcripts create the picture of an FBI not always following expected norms as it activated an unofficial conveyor belt to make sure the allegations reached the counterintelligence division."
In other words, the Bureau went out of its way to create a non-existent case that its counterintel folks could chase with few restrictions. The FISA Court did what it does, approving MULTIPLE TIMES a warrant based on fairy tales sworn as true by the FBI.
Clinton loyalists did not exploit Obama´s FBI. The Bureau was already primed to be launched at Hillary´s opponent - it was a DEM FBI, and it still is.
This wasn´t done in a vacuum. Still waiting for one of those "patriotic, honest, hard working" field agents to come forward and start telling the tale they know...until then, they´re all filthy dirty by association.

Poor Clinton could not even plan a coup despite having all the President’s people: Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, Victoria Nuland, Sidney Blumenthal, John Brennan, Josef Mifsud, Stephan Halper, Alexander Downer, Lisa and Peter Strozk, James Baker, James Clapper, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, John Carlin, and Alexandra Chalupa. The CIA Ang FBI have to pay for this.

Good grief. Did this writer just crawl out of a cave? First of all the Clintons exploit everybody and have no friends. Just hangers-on, toadies, and people who are afraid of them. Second, this is hardly news and unfortunately not even an eyebrow raiser. Of course they did.

Lots of people learning about all this for the first time! What amazed me about the Barr hearing is that the Dems seemed like they don’t know about what took place. Like Shaheen asking if Barr could possibly think that spying actually took place - has she not heard anything for the past two years? Guess not, if all she watches is CNN, etc. Not watching Fox News, how could she ? So the people holding office don’t even know about malfeasance and corruption taking place right under their noses. And the ones who do are having hissy fits as smokescreens.

Yes, we have seen and heard plenty of evidence in this story for a year and a half.
But Rowan Scarborough is presenting what amounts to proof. (Despite current usage in TV cop shows, there is a difference between evidence and proof.)
Proof could lead to negative consequences for the perps rather than us just a-wishin´ and a-hopin´.
The new news here is in the first sentence: ´´according to a string of interview transcripts released in recent weeks.

Old news to patriots who have been watching for decades, but new news with documented evidence, and a greater percentage of the population now ripe enough to listen and begin to be concerned and maybe a few more outraged and the evil that has been going on under our noses.
