AG Bill Barr’s “Investigation of the Investigators” is well underway, and according to Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., when it concludes, he is “confident” that from Barr’s investigation into the origins of the investigation of President Trump’s 2016 campaign, the American people will learn that the FBI and CIA engaged in foul play under the direction of then President Obama.
President Trump and his supporters have questioned how the investigation started in the first place, accusing the FBI of carrying it out under false pretenses. King is among one of the most vocal members of Congress who have leveled such allegations.
“There was no legal basis at all for them to begin the investigation of his campaign,” King said during a recent interview with New York talk radio host John Catsimatidis, “and the way they carried it forward and the way information was leaked, the improper applications they filed in the FISA court to get surveillance, all of this is going to come out.”
King was referring to the FBI’s application for a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Republicans, including California Rep. Devin Nunes, claimed that federal authorities did not fully disclose their reliance on an unverified dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, which was part of opposition research for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Democrats Tell a Different Story
Democrats however, have long disputed the notion that anything improper took place. They claim the dossier did not play a major role, and point to a footnote in the warrant application that acknowledged that some of the information came from research on Trump that was likely meant to hurt his campaign, even if it did not spell out exactly who paid for it.
Republicans are now waiting on a report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, following an investigation of possible FBI abuses of the FISA system. Fox News recently reported that it had learned from reliable sources that key witnesses have come forward, after previously holding out.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating — a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau’s 2016 Russia case that laid the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
Corruption Runs Deeper Than Just the FBI
Kings says it is more than just the FBI that he believes engaged in underhanded “anti-Trump” tactics. He believes U.S. intelligence was involved as well.
“Just from evidence I’ve seen over the last several years being on the Intelligence Committee, being a member of Congress, there’s no doubt to me there were severe serious abuses that were carried out in the FBI, and I believe the top levels of the CIA,” he said.
A recent RealClearInvestigations report of Mueller’s findings pointed to various inconsistencies, as well as the influence of former CIA Director John Brennan, an outspoken critic of President Trump. That report also noted that Mueller’s team did not personally investigate the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails, but used a DNC contractor to determine that Russia was behind it.
King is no longer on the House Intelligence Committee, but current members will have an opportunity to ask Mueller about this when he testifies before the committee on July 17.
No.
Nothing will come of any investigations of any liberal progressive democrat socialists.
Liberal progressive democrat socialists are above all laws or morality.
We need to get to the bottom of this,and bring it to the people. It needs to be on the News, ABC,NBC, CBS This needs to get out.
Great news conference to address environmental concerns & stupid green deal fantasy & the estimated COSTS (always always government never meets the estimates but go way way over estimates & never any consequences, just spend more $$$. President Trump needs to take the basic facts that will pass fact checks and put this into an Oval Office presentation. Main media filters what the public gets BUT Oval Office speeches they r compelled to cover or look totally biased. Tell the country. 2020 Dem candidates think the AOC Green Deal is the be all end all. Out them
Treason is a badge of honor for the Godless NAZI Commie liberal Racist Muslim Demoncrat Party & RINOs! The party of hate, hypocrisy, lies, deception,Fake News(Russian Collusion & Jussie M hoax)the list is endless!And the clueless minions that follow them!
IT’S ABOUT TIME………NEXT STEP, BRING ALL THOSE THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE ATTEMPTED COUP TO JUSTICE, BEGINNING WITH OBAMA…….
Sad if true some of leaders were involved. Some were fired some transferred I still have respect and trust agents who are doing a great job
How many people have become disillusioned with the system since the Clinton and Obama crime machine seems to be untouchable?
Myself and others like me have known this info for more than 2years Several good books and Conservative commentators have been informing us about this, How much longer is this going to be dragged on and when is one of these traitors going to be held accountable?
Hang all those Damacrats and turncoats who committed treason against the United States and it’s Presidency. I’m sick to deathof the Democrats who don’t give a damn about the good people of this great Country. All they care about is getting votes so they can rule the country and ruin it and all our lives under their idiotic ideas and laws. All they do is break our Constitutional Laws and lie, cheat, and even get away with murder of those who get in their way. Or accuse them of whatever crime they can dream up, ruin their life and their family’s life and put them behind bars. Our great nation will be in ruins if they get their way. God in Heaven, please protect us, In Jesus, Amen
I became disillusioned when Bush was president. He should be arrested for war crimes, and much, much more. What an evil family. I should say another evil family.
Absolutely Amazing, The left expects to be believed that they can “discover” (manufacture?) a plausible explanation for legislatie House not legislating, spies weren’t spying, Executive branch shouldn’t enforce laws, Judicial Branch isn’t making laws, and the socialists “leading” their party aren’t attempting to socialize our Republic.
When the truth does come out the people of the US will find out that Obama was involved right along with the FBI and the CIA, they will find out he was behind the whole thing
When will AG Mr.Barr’s investigation be finished? I want to see the democrats that were and still are involved with all the lies behind bars, as soon as possible. Starting with Mx. Schiff, Mx. Pelosi and Mx. Schumer, Mx. Cortex, Mx. Waters and all the rest of them.
Ahould not take to long with all info JW has got. Been reading the find’s since way back. Lrt’s get the show on the road.
Prayer will be answered the truth will come to light
I believe that they should start by making the guilty parties pay back the 35 million dollars that they defrauded the american people of to finance their coupe attempt.
