Lisa Page bombshell: FBI couldn’t prove Trump-Russia collusion before Mueller appointment

[bearpoker]

Well, well. Soo it looks like the Witch Hunt WAS, INDEED, a "WITCH HUNT" form the get go.


If there was no PROVEN RUSSIAN COLLUSION... what was the REAL POINT of the Grand Buffoon's Witch Hunt?

Rhetorical question...we ALL KNOW THE ANSWER: to GET TRUMP, on SOMETHING/ANYTHING, NO MATTER WHAT.

The "Big Indictments" of Trump associates for process crimes committed YEARS AGO, to try to use them to "GET SOMETHING ON TRUMP" is the glaringly obvious proof of the Truth of the matter.



Lisa Page bombshell: FBI couldn’t prove Trump-Russia collusion before Mueller appointment



To date, Lisa Page’s infamy has been driven mostly by the anti-Donald Trump text messages she exchanged with fellow FBI agent Peter Strzok as the two engaged in an affair while investigating the president for alleged election collusion with Russia.

Yet, when history judges the former FBI lawyer years from now, her most consequential pronouncement may not have been typed on her bureau-issued Samsung smartphone to her colleague and lover.

Rather, it might be eight simple words she uttered behind closed doors during a congressional interview a few weeks ago.

“It’s a reflection of us still not knowing,” Page told Rep. John Ratcliffe


With that statement, Page acknowledged a momentous fact: After nine months of using some of the most awesome surveillance powers afforded to U.S. intelligence, the FBI still had not made a case connecting Trump or his campaign to Russia’s election meddling.

Page opined further, acknowledging “it still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing” to connect Trump and Russia, no matter what Mueller or the FBI did.


“As far as May of 2017, we still couldn’t answer the question,” she said at another point.

I reached out to Page's lawyer, Amy Jeffress, on Friday. She declined to answer questions about her client’s cooperation with Congress.

It might take a few seconds for the enormity of Page’s statements to sink in. After all, she isn’t just any FBI lawyer. She was a lead on the Russia case when it started in summer 2016, and she helped it transition to Mueller through summer 2017.

For those who might cast doubt on the word of a single FBI lawyer, there’s more.

Shortly after he was fired, ex-FBI Director James Comey told the Senate there was not yet evidence to justify investigating Trump for colluding with Russia. “When I left, we did not have an investigation focused on President Trump,” Comey testified.

And Strzok, the counterintelligence boss and leader of the Russia probe, texted Page in May 2017 that he was reluctant to join Mueller’s probe and leave his senior FBI post because he feared “there’s no big there, there.”

Not the entire article.

You mean that there wasn't any evidence of collusion with the Russians until somebody actually looked for it? That's your standard??!!!:lamo:lamo:lamo I think I'm going to need CPR. Either that or die laughing

 

[Grokmaster]

I'm curious how many times the leftists need to be told before it starts to sink in? LOL, I mean damn.

It's too detrimental to their entire worldview since November, 2016.


The prospect of it ALL BEING THE SEDITIOUS LIE many have claimed it was from the start, is more than their fragile , little psyches can handle....

They were "looking for it" since March 2016...and FOUND NOTHING but still went ahead with their Get Trump on Anything Witch Hunt (aka: "The Insurance policy" ) , with ZERO BASIS FOR IT...and now we will ALSO see, once and for all, EXACTLY what was and was NOT told to the FISA court(s).

THERE STILL IS NO EVIDENCE OF RUSSIAN COLLUSION= IT WAS A LIE FROM THE START....and THEY KNEW IT.

" :lamo: I think I'm going to need CPR. Either that or die laughing."

 

[Moot]

Except that Manafort's PREVIOUS dealing were ALREADY KNOWN to Rosenstein and the Grand Buffoon BEFORE THE WITCH HUNT, and have NOT ONE DAMEND THING TO DO WITH "RUSSIAN COLLUSION"...as I said.

They didn't know everything...hence the plea deal(s).

YELLING?!? You worried, bro?

 

[Grokmaster]

It was the conclusion of our intelligence agencies that there was Russian interference with a goal of helping Trump and hurting Hillary. The intelligence agencies could have kept investigating this without a special counsel, but Trump had to get involved and try to get the different branches to call off the investigation, even firing Comey in a futile attempt to put a monkey wrench into it.

So, because Trump wasn't letting the investigation proceed in the natural, orderly way through the usual channels, a special counsel was appointed.

Total bull****. They began plating the Russia LIE in March 2016, in London.

From the OP link:
" Shortly after he was fired, ex-FBI Director James Comey told the Senate there was not yet evidence to justify investigating Trump for colluding with Russia. “When I left, we did not have an investigation focused on President Trump,” Comey testified."

There was NO EVIDENCE ANYWHERE of Trump Collusion with Russia, which was the FALSE BASIS GIVEN FOR THE WITCH HUNT.

Comey ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD NO INVESTIGATION OF TRUMP GOING ON...yet the WENT AHEAD with the WITCH HUNT, anyway.

NO PROBABLE CAUSE/NO PROOF of COLLUSION...just the INTENT TO "GET TRUMP" on ANYTHING.


An absolute TEXTBOOK CASE OF PROSECUTORIAL/INVESTIGATIVE MISCONDUCT....by the Obama Swamp KGB-FBI/DOJ, and quite possible some members of the FISA Court(s), too.


It appears that we will soon know the answer to that question, too.

 

[Grokmaster]

They didn't know everything...hence the plea deal(s).

YELLING?!? You worried, bro?

The plea deal HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP/RUSSIA nor did any of the crimes Manafort is guilty of, NONE OF WHICH were exposed by investigating "Russian Collusion", the FALSE BASIS for the Witch Hunt. His crimes were known since 2006.

He was used to try to GET TRUMP, PERIOD.


NONE OF WHICH justifies the creation of the Witch Hunt...for which we now know, there was NO LEGAL BASIS.

Shouldn't you be commenting on FONT SIZE , too, since your grasp of the issues is tenuous, at BEST.

The DP left is funny...daily. :lol:

I think it does...and so does Trump, apparently.

I suspect Mueller is getting closer to Trump's money laundering schemes with Russians. And the closer he gets, the more deranged and hysterical Trump and his followers get...as evidenced by your screaming denials and obfuscation.

The FBI's Counter Intell NUMBER TWO said , about Trump/Russia collusion , "there is no Big There, there"...and I quote.


Your fantasies and TDS blog site do not change the fact that the Witch Hunt was predicated ON A LIE.

No - reality.

The REALITY is that there was NO LEGAL BASIS for the Witch Hunt...according to the VERY PEOPLE WHO STARTED IT.

Why not wait for Muellers final analysis. If the Adorables are so confident of no collusion let it progress, then you can hold your head up high and stick it the the liberal's. Now, if Mueller finds other crimes commited by those in his orbit that is called collateral damage, and Mueller would be negligent in his duties to not prosecute. I would me more concerned with the serious crime of obstruction, that Trump may be guilty of, time will tell.

No need to capitalize in bold, it comes off as frantic

Thank you for your opinion. Allow me to give you mine. I think years from now when they write the histories of this era, the most significant words will be

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Yeah.. A CAMPAIGN TRAIL JOKE.


Irrelevant to the LIES used to illegally start the Witch Hunt.


WIKI released the DNC's emails that exposed the "fixing" of the primaries and other embarrassments...and they say the Russians had nothing to do with it...and the MISSING HILLARY EMAILS HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED..by ANYONE...so..? Point?

It never was a joke and there is no proof it ever was. It was treated seriously by the Trump campaign.

Of course, every time gets a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth, Trumpkins want to pretends its fine Swiss chocolate staining his lips instead of the crap it really is.

So Trump was "just joking" about killing people in broad daylight and it not hurting his popularity?


And Trump was "just joking" about grabbing women by the vagina and how he could not help himself from doing it?


And Trump was "just joking" about peeping in on minors half undressed at beauty pageants because he had the power to do it since it was his pageant?


And Trump was "just joking" about punching protesters at his rallies and having them carried out on stretchers like the old days?


And Trump was "just joking" about congressmen being guilty of treason for not clapping loud enough reminiscent of the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany?


And Trump was “just joking” when he said that police should rough up arrested suspects instead of respecting their constitutional rights?


And Trump was “just joking: when he said he challenged Sec of State Rex Tillerson to an IQ test to show he was smarter?


And Trump was “just joking” he accused Obama of being a founder of ISIS?


And Trump was “just joking” when he suggested a SecondAmendment solution to dealing with Hillary Clinton?


The guy seems to be one living breathing joke - and a bad one at that. Sadly, that is a joke on the American people.

It was given AT A STUMP SPEECH. Der...


As opposed to getting caught secretly promising "more flexibility" to Putin; ordering our intel the STAND DOWN and not interfere with the 2016 Russian Meddling, all after allowing Putin to take control of 20% of our uranium reserves, some of which was ILLEGALLY EXPORTED. Followed by the Hillary Campaign spending $millions to have Fusion GPS have a foreign spy, with Kremlin links, contact Kremlin-linked Russians to "get dirt" on Trump to influence the election, and then SETTING UP the Trump Tower meeting with ANOTHER Kremlin-linked Russian, via their buddy at Fusion GPS.


Now...WHO "COLLUDED WITH THE RUSSIANS" again?


The OBAMA SWAMP KGB-FBI/DOJ leadership ADMITTED THEY FOUND ZERO PROOF of "COLLUSION" by Trump or his campaign...READ THE QUOTES of the NEWLY RELEASED EMAILS IN THE OP...AGAIN.

But they STARTED THE WITCH HUNT , anyway.


THEIR OWN WORDS, not mine.

Both Comey and Stoltz have been vilified by the alt Right. Now you want to take their word because it fits the narrative. Crimes have been committed, and the investigation continues, and no amount of belly aching is going to make Mueller pack up and go home. Both comments were made before Mueller got stuck in to investigation, and you have no idea what has come to light since the comments were made. Ride it out.
