With the release of recent transcripts and the declassification of material from within the IG report on the Carter Page FISA, there is a common misconception about why the intelligence apparatus began investigating the Trump campaign. In this outline we hope to provide some deep source material that will explain the origin, and specifically why the those inside the Intelligence Community began using Confidential Human Sources.
During the time-frame of December 2015 through April 2016 the NSA database was being exploited by contractors within the intelligence community doing unauthorized searches. On March 9, 2016, oversight personnel doing a review of FBI system access were alerted to thousands

This is why the whole FISA mess needs to be eliminated, permanently. No exceptions.
The politicized "intel community" is ABSOLUTELY untrustworthy, too many complete traitors in those places.
They can NEVER be trusted with this, they WILL become the Stasi, the KGB, the Gestapo if they retain this legal power.
End it. Soonest.

Not even a smidgen of corruption, Obama said, lying thru his teeth. Clint Eastwood should direct a full-blown movie documentary covering all of this. This makes Watergate look like amateur hour. Take it away, Mr. Durham.

And to throw salt into the wounds, they purposefully dumped the data that could have prevented the San Bernardino and Boston bombing acts of Muslim terrorism. I'd we aren't supposed to notice that Obama was playing for the other team?
We do need to keep in mind that the FISA abuse was plan "B" after getting busted by Rogers. And why do we still not know who the contractors were? And the democrats throw the word treason around without hesitation for policy they don't like.

Obama used the highly classified NSA database to illegally obtain information to use against political opponents and to promote the Clinton campaign. When that source got blocked, after years of abuse, he used a document purchased by Clinton and known to be full of Russian disinformation to get the FISA court to allow continued spying on Trump (and who knows who else). Obama's gang then lied about the results of that spying to justify launching Mueller's "investigation", which was effectively nothing more than an attempted coup. When that led to nothing, they used the powers of the FBI, DOJ, and CIA to attempt to create a fake "obstruction of justice" case against Trump. When that ultimately failed, the Democrats shifted to the attempted impeachment of Trump based on phony charges. When that failed, the China virus appeared on the scene...

Wait a minute. The NSA (no such agency) database is just metadata, nothing important. And anybody who wants access to the database needs major league security clearances from the FBI and such. And even Admiral (and NSA director) Rogers can shut this down so … apparently not.
A LOT of PEOPLE need to go to JAIL. We'll even let Hillary!!! wear a custom made orange pant suit.
I mean A LOT.

Very long, very detailed explanation, as usual from CTH, but believe it all boils down to this FTA:
There is little doubt the FISA-702(16)(17) database system was used by Obama-era officials, from 2012 through April 2016, as a way to spy on their political opposition.
Quite simply there is no other intellectually honest explanation for the scale and volume of database abuse that was taking place; and keep in mind these searches were all ruled to be unlawful. Searches for repeated persons over a period time that were not authorized.
Very short and concise, then work on getting into the various details, and expected lawsuits for violating people's constitutional rights.

Take the time to read the entire piece. AG Barr and Durham have sure had their hands full investigating Spygate. When they finally blow the lid off the case later this year, the mother of all political scandals will be been exposed. But, yes, what about those pesky indictments.

Some of the posters below the article are suspicious that Barack Obama has told Joseph Biden to pick Valarie Jarrett to be Biden’s Vice-President in return for his endorsement, but that will never happen as Valarie Jarrett was born in Iran and that fact alone would turn off a lot of prospect voters. It is more likely that Obama selected someone else as Biden’s Vice-President, and that Jarrett will remain below the limelight until after Biden would be elected, and then would be more likely appointed by Biden, who there is no doubt is experiencing diminished cognitive abilities, as his Chief of Staff or some other high level position in the White House, until Biden (unexpectedly) retires on health grounds with whoever Obama has selected as the Democrat Vice-Presidential nominee taking over the Presidency. Chances are the person who Obama selected is a very liberal individual, who could not be elected President in his or her own rite and who could not have successfully become the Democrat Presidential nominee through the grueling Democrat caucus and primary and debate processes. Time will tell!

Re #9, Valerie Jarrett was born to American parents - James and Barbara Bowman - who happened to be working in Iran. She is an American.

Barack Obama had to be in the know on all that since those super bureaucrats would never have risked their careers without first receiving a wink and a nod from the White House, since Obama would have known so would Biden!

There is no misconception. The left is trying to spin a narrative, the FBI was fooled. Sure. As credible as anything else the left publishes.

This is like reading the script of a Russian intelligence breach into our intelligence database.
Yet is answers many questions if you've been following this at all.
Why the DNC wouldn't allow the FBI access to their computers.
Why Muller was so instrumental in staying in the lead thru out the process from start to completion of the investigation.
Why they wanted Adm. Rogers fired, he was exposing all of them.
If and hopefully when AG Durham completes his investigation the DC jails will be full and what a beautiful perp walk it will be.
Wonder if Hillary will be included, hard to believe she wasn't controlling much of this as she's a control freak.
Time will tell.

As far as I can tell there was exactly ONE honest man in the entire "intelligence community" - Admiral Mike Rogers. One patriot. One man who believes in the Constitution and laws.
The rest of them, ALL OF THEM, were and are corrupt. Not one whit different at all from other men in history - the Gestapo, the Stasi, or the KGB. They would say they are "patriots" and "protecting us", but that is a lie. They are all traitors, and should be in prison or executed as examples to others in the future.

A silly question--on March 9, 2016, oversight personnel doing a review of FBI system access were alerted to thousands of illegal search queries.
What about any earlier dates of the aforementioned oversight & review of FBI system access...? We know this was going on for a long time (2012)
