It's a great question. You really don't know much about the whistle blower at all. The IG said he was credible. We've seen now about a dozen career and well respected members of the Govt validate not just the whistle blower but validate the bigger story of a shadow conspiracy involving multiple members of Trump's inner circle to shake down a foreign government to influence the 2020 election. Oh, and lie about all of it.

If this isn't impeachable nothing is, and the GOP is freaking out.

The timing of the Durham administrative investigation moving to a criminal one has been questioned given the progress of the impeachment proceedings.

I've been reading what I think is the reason . . .

A newer FISA court ruling has come out, just declassified on October 8th. It's not unlike the one I referenced earlier in the thread but this one examines even greater DOJ/FBI abuse of the NSA databases in a more recent time period -- after the election.

Hmmmmmm.

This ruling by the FISA court shows that officials within DOJ and FBI are/were on a continuum. The illicit McCabe, Comey, Priestap, Strzok, Page, Baker “small group” activity in 2016 I posted about earlier, didn’t stop after the election but rather continued and expanded with the Mueller / Weissmann investigation (tens of thousands more illegal, 4th Amendment violating searches).

There isn't much in the MSM about this (of course). The Wall Street Journal had an article, (paywall though), it is mirror published (free) on the Hill's website.

So my take is that Barr and Durham were already investigating the 2016 abuses and unmasking and White House PDB involvement but with the declassification and public release of this ruling, they wanted to get subpoenas issued for investigative documents and for many personnel associated with the Special Counsel / Mueller investigation.

Explains why the impeachment timetable got goosed. Things are going to get really nasty.

Link to the ruling below . . . NOTE this is on the DNI's website . . . proceed at your own risk -- hope you don't mind being on a list .

You've been hanging out next to SD too long and he is starting to turn your brain to mush.

Seems like a strategic leak today coming out of the investigation that nobody knows what its about, and if they do it's just right-wing conspiracy theories.

The 500 page IG report reporting on nothing is going to be released on December 9 and Horowitz himself going to bore everyone with his vacation stories when he testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on December 11.

Back to the leak, for now it is just very top line, no real details other than an FBI agent working on the Carter Page FISA warrant has admitted to altering a document vital to the warrant application.

Interesting that the "news" outlet that has "broken" the story is CNN . . . Usually DOJ leaks go to the Washington Post or NY Times.

Of course CNN is lousy with former Obama officials, some of whom are chest-deep themselves in the illegal FISA warrants like Clapper and McCabe, Comey spokesman Josh Campbell and former FBI chief legal counsel, James Baker . . . All now work for CNN.

No doubt it came from one of them.


Better get your hipboots on, there's gonna be some big waves of nothing coming ashore soon.
