[ad_1]

The DOJ’s Inspector General issued a scathing report last month, which uncovered what some are calling the FBI’s shockingly reckless process and practice of wiretapping in America. One America’s Chanel Rion has more from the White House.

    Huh.. Apology…
    Like that will be good enough.. They Broke the FBI and LIED and twisted their processes and power to attempt to fraudulently destroy Pres. Trump… In doing this (this apology) they come off like children who are apologizing for breaking another child's toy…
    ALL of this misbehavior and illegality was done by PEOPLE who have NAMES and can and should be INDICTED and PROSECUTED to the absolute extent of THE LAW!!
    If these BAD ACTORS are NOT prosecuted, there is NO JUSTICE in our Republic ANY MORE and they will weaponize elements of the Government AGAIN!!
    This can NEVER happen AGAIN!!!

    Typical leftist and globalist strategy: continue doing evil to the nation and the good people who oppose them and then accuse them of doing the evil, until caught. Then issue an apology and trust their buddies in the media to bury the story then hope and pray to Baal or Zeus that the people forget it.

    Wray needs to go. He's part of the problem. Errors my ass. He needs to show some balls and call it like it is. The FBI is and was acting in a totally corrupt manner. There will NEVER be anyone punished for their crooked actions. Hence, what's the status of McCabe, oh that's right he has a new job at CNN. What a joke. I wonder if we will ever take our country back??

    Ok – fine , if it's true then let the guilty pay — B U T how suspicious does one have to be before one warrants scrutiny from Law Enforcement because WHAT EVER IT IS TRUMP EXCEED THE LEVEL REQUIRED BY A WIDE WIDE MARGIN ..

    This is NOT true. This is a fake news channel. The proof is further below.

    The FISA warrants mentioned in the Inspector General report were NOT to wiretap Donald Trump, or him later when he became President. The FISA warrant was for four members of Trump's staff.

    I supply a link to the report below, which corroborates what I just wrote.

    There were significant criticisms about how the FISA warrants were handled and updated, or not updated, however, these were mostly procedural errors. (There is a claim that one FBI lawyer might have modified an e-mail, leaving out that Carter Page worked with the CIA, however, this is still under investigation – that had nothing to do with the President).

    The Inspector General report (at the link below) states on page iii:

    "We concluded that Priestap's exercise of discretion in opening the investigation was in compliance with Department and FBI policies, and we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision."

    And on page iv:

    "We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations."

    And on page vi:

    "We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the FBI's decision to seek FISA authority on Carter Page."

    There's no suggestion of political bias in the FBI in the report, even in the sections with criticism about procedures.

    And, on page 347:

    "We concluded that the FBI's decision to open Crossfire Hurricane and the four related individual investigations was, under Department and FBI policy, a discretionary judgment call and that the FBI's exercise of discretion was in compliance with those policies. For the reasons described below, we found that each investigation was opened for an authorized purpose and, in light of the low threshold established by Department and FBI predication policy, with adequate factual predication."

    They apologized because they got caught and they never expected to get caught because they were sure Trump would not be elected. Now their evil deeds have been exposed and they should pay like everyone else. There are people in jail for life for marijuana offenses, this was an attempted coup!
