Statement from John McCain after the Nunes memo was made public:


In 2016, the Russian government engaged in an elaborate plot to interfere in an American election and undermine our democracy. Russia employed the same tactics it has used to influence elections around the world, from France and Germany to Ukraine, Montenegro, and beyond. Putin’s regime launched cyberattacks and spread disinformation with the goal of sowing chaos and weakening faith in our institutions. And while we have no evidence that these efforts affected the outcome of our election, I fear they succeeded in fueling political discord and dividing us from one another.

The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s. The American people deserve to know all of the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.

- McCain defends FBI, DOJ as Trump declassifies Nunes memo - Business Insider


Based on some of the previous comments, I'm sure the next post will be one saying that McCain is an idiot or just as corrupt as Rosenstein. Have at it. But, I personally agree with McCain.

This investigation was not started to target Trump; it was started to get to the bottom of possible foreign influences on the election. Trump made it about Trump.

Let Mueller finish the investigation. Let the DOJ Grand Jury decide which evidence should be considered based on errors in the procedures used to obtain it, and whether there is enough evidence to proceed with further indictments. Then, let the courts decide the fate of those already indicted (or who have plead guilty) and any possible future indictments (there may not be any). Anyone accused of wrong doing who is innocent will have their day in court to prove their innocence. That's the way the system works.

If you BELIEVE in the American Justice system and American rule of law, let it do its job.

Was President Obama aware of the request for this FISA Warrant?
Someone will need to put Obama under oath and ask him about that and a number of other related questions.

Quite a racket isn't it? I would like the FISA Court Judges to issue a statement of some sort.
It's also interesting that the Judge who presided over Mike Flynns "guilty plea" to his Special Counsel indictment was Recused 5 days later ....... turns out, he was a FISA Court Judge.

Who knew? Who cared? Appropriate? Leftist "yawn".

By four other means:

1. A FISA against him directly.

2. When Flynn was speaking directly to Page.

3. By American "eyes" like European partners when Flynn was off American soil.

4. By foreign eyes.

Comey said the Dossier was "unverified and salacious" yet used it and it's author's planted news leaks for a FISA warrant to surveil Trump camp. None of this adds up.

Excellent point, 3 warrants approved since October 2016.

If they really thought this was a dud, they would not be paying attention to it.
