FISA documents reveal FBI collusion

Our media's valiant efforts to distract us notwithstanding, information continues to seep out that underscores how badly a housecleaning is needed in Washington, D.C. Last week saw the release of the applications used to obtain warrants from the FISA court to spy on Carter Page, an adviser to the Trump presidential campaign.

Obtained by Judicial Watch, the 400-plus pages of documents support the conclusions earlier drawn by the House Intelligence Committee: the FISA warrants were obtained through obfuscation and deceit.

Steele was hired during the 2016 presidential campaign by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, who was paid by Hillary Clinton's law firm Perkins Coie, who was paid by the Clinton campaign and the DNC. The allegations were scandalous and completely unverified, in violation of federal statutes and FISA court rules.

We now know that then-FBI director James Comey decided not to prosecute Clinton before the investigation was even concluded.

We also know that FBI attorney Peter Strzok rewrote Comey's initial report to change Comey's description of Clinton's conduct from "Grossly negligent" - which was a violation of the applicable federal statute - to "Extremely careless."

No one would know the FBI "Investigation" into her violations of federal statutes was a foregone conclusion that would exonerate her.

No one would know that members of the FBI and the DOJ were using their government powers to attack and discredit the man who wasn't "Supposed" to win, but did.
