Never Piss On My Shoes and Tell Me It's Raining

OK, I said I will not get involved in the lunatics at the House Of Representative. I heard the testimony questions and answers and mindless drivel of Chairman Schiff. I concluded that this Dog and Pony Show can only end one way and President Trump will be impeached at the House of Representatives. Not proving guilt or innocents but from bias political will. All that remains is the vote and I suspect the Democrats will vote party and prevail. So Nancy Pelosi can stop riding her broom over the Capitol Building skywriting Surrender Donald. Adam Schiff can return to his comic character Charlie Brown and Gerry Nadler can return to his day job as head teller at Gringolls Bank on Diagon Ally. At the same time the much awaited I.G. Report from the Department of Justice was released as promised Monday the 9th 2019. It appears to trample on the US Constitution and violate the rights of a US Citizen is not at all as I thought. It's really a series of steps involving the FBI , National Security Office and F.I.S.A Courts created in 1978. In this case it begins with the creation of a team at the FBI to investigate reports from a F.F.G. or Friendly Foreign Government. The team is given a name of Crossfire Hurricane in true gum shoe traditions. The next step is the surveillance of citizens thought to be involved. This requires a Preliminary Investigation Warrant or a Full Investigation Warrants from the F.I.S.A. Courts. These warrants require little more than I wanna see whats going on here from the FBI. With the promise of  possible violation of National Security or Federal Laws Broken. No doubt the information from the F.F.G. was part of the review process but not required. We don't know who the Friendly Foreign Government is or what exactly they reported. The time is August 14, 2016 Important to note the Steele Dossier was not received at the FBI until September, 19 2016 Also important is the original warrants do not allow wire tapping or electronic surveillance. For wiretapping the bar is much higher and requires some level of proof.  According the the I.G. Report both the creation of team Crossfire Hurricane and the original Warrants both occurred before the Steel Dossier was available. This seems to down play the importance of the Steele information. Very true considering the extremely low threshold of information required to obtain the first warrants. Early on the FBI found that the Steele Dossier was the work of  a  Primary Sub Source and Christopher Steele was only a middle man. Subsequently they found the Steele Dossier was political in nature and unreliable information. It was Submitted to the F.IS.A. Courts for the First renewal and of Highly Intrusive Nature. The Steele Dossier was submitted without clarity to the Court. This is Lying. The renewals then used wire tapping and electronic surveillance. So if you heard the Steele Dossier played no part in the original investigation and warrants you are correct. If you heard the Steele Dossier was not used to obtain wiretapping and electronic surveillance then you are very wrong. The I.G. Report goes on to list 17 wrongs 17 omissions 17 errors 17 I don't care and 17 mistakes at the FBI. Like the Mueller Report long on content short on conclusions. The truth is unimportant. The truth is James Comey ran his bureau like it was a Railroad. His Own Personal Lionel Train Set. Comey was a poor Director and the first person to tell you was Donald J Trump. Happy Trails Tom....
