I don't want to have to read the whole thing. Can you just tell me the pages in which you saw Christopher Steele mentioned by name?

I didn't say he appears in the report. I meant, read the report as a criticism of how the FBI managed Steele as a confidential informant. I'm sure it was the handling of Steele that perpetuated this investigation and report.

So you seem to acknowledge that that the investigation was ongoing before Steele.

I think the handling of both Steele and Stefan Halper by the FBI might have perpetuated the IG investigation.

It was a bop:

IG finds change did not change underlying case

Via WaPo

From the CNN article posted

After CNN first reported on the investigation, the Washington Post reported that the inspector general concluded the alteration did not change the validity of the surveillance application.

According to the Washington Post, it did not change Horowitz's finding that the FISA application had a legal basis.

CNN Senior Legal Analyst: FBI's Peter Strzok Altering a FISA Warrant is Alarming, 'Doesn't Get More Serious'

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katie...-altering-a-fisa-warrant-is-alarming-n2556915

 

[Rightguide]

Fox reported last night that a FBI "lawyer" was under criminal investigation for altering a FISA document. I was thinking either Page or Baker. Page and Strozk did discuss "edits" in their text messages. This story is an obvious leak by the DOJ to try and get ahead of the FISA Report release on the 9th of December.

as usual you LIE....WAPO withdrew that and now says this

Horowitz reportedly found that the FBI employee who modified the FISA document falsely stated that he had "documentation to back up a claim he had made in discussions with the Justice Department about the factual basis" for the FISA warrant application, the Post reported. Then, the FBI employee allegedly "altered an email" to substantiate his inaccurate version of events. The employee has since been forced out of the bureau.

We know much more than what the WaPo and CNN are are reporting and have known it for two years. They are playing like they are surprised by this alleged "leak." Funny how a Horowitz investigation has never had a leak in the past. This may be an attempt to obfuscate in advance the actual findings of the report. Has Horowitz commented on this leak?

The FBI is losing some of its credibility for some reason.

So there are a lot of new faces working at the FBI now.

Funny how the real parallels with Watergate-like sleaze will involve Obama, not Trump.

So there are a lot of new faces working at the FBI now.

There's one name still not on the list, E.W (Bill) Priestap, Strzok's immediate superior who had to know what Strzok was doing and who signed off on much of proposals. I think he is being protected either as a prosecution witness against the rest or to groom him for the Directorship if Wray has to go. It means the Deep State will still be in charge. Just my opinion.

 

[Rightguide]

Remember the Democrats always project their behavior onto the opposition. Obama's John Brennan and James Clapper are still running this conspiracy from their offices in the media.

That's why the reaction from some parties here will be so interesting - those who get their news from Brennan, McCabe and Clapper and similar sources.

Whistling past the graveyard. That's exactly why this leak is happening now. It is the work product of the criminals on your side or trying to get ahead of the narrative perp-splaining this criminal act as having no effect on the fisa warrant application.

The very idea defies credulity, and in the unlikely event that that is actually true, it doesn't matter. Criminal actions are criminal actions. The fact that the criminals supposedly had no need to commit the criminal act that they committed doesn't make it any less of a criminal act.

They obviously believed at the time that they committed this criminal act that it was necessary to commit the criminal act in order to get the fisa warrant application approved. They obviously believed that it did matter, so saying after the fact that it didn't matter is silly.

A defective warrant application is defective. Destroys the entire underpinning of the Russoa collusion myth which then led to the Mueller investigation.

The fact that we have extra constitutional secret chords issuing secret warrants is a pretty onuris thing. Obviously subject to abuse has. The fact that you could countenance any form of abuse of the FISA courts says everything there is to know about what an anti-American, anti-constitutional leftist, authoritarian Nazi piece of shit that you are..

No surprise that your daily talking points delivered to your email that you understand very little about contain this narrative because of how important it is to deflect from what actually happened.

Are you competing in a vapid statement contest that the rest of us don’t know about?
