It’s ridiculous to claim that the FBI shouldn’t follow up on leads that might be politically motivated. Any reporter can tell you that ALL leaks come from someone who has an agenda. That doesn’t mean they aren’t worth looking into.
I’ll have the Nunes Memo Nothingburger, with a side of Paranoid Delusions, please.
Since when is surveillance of traitors to democracy illegal?
Buwhahahaha! Sure, pull the other one, FBI! What a bunch of kidders!
(A close family member just retired from a career in the FBI last year.)
"I mean, the tip on this murder suspect came from the victim’s sister, and she’s always hated that guy, we really can’t, in good conscience, look into this. "
FTFY.
And, actually, probably should cross out “be bothered to” as well.
Annnnnnd heeere we go:
Gee, almost like it’s been planned for a long time…
Yeah, it’s nonsense. As if judges don’t know that people sometimes say things to serve their agendas.
Did the FISA court approve the warrant against Page because they rubber stamp everything? I’d believe it.
Is the whole system of secret courts giving secret warrants against citizens fundamentally problematic? Hell yes.
Is there any reason to believe that somehow the investigation into Carter Page was anything other then the ordinary and legally-proper functioning of the system? From this document, certainly not.
<The agency says its ‘agents have not, and will not, allow partisan politics to distract’ from their mission.
I think the black panther party, and every other COINTELPRO target, would beg to differ.
What Trump-hating Democrat partisan clown even appointed that guy to the job anyway??
…oh, right.
I am pretty sure that’s what the hubub about the memo was about way before its release: Everyone get set… Get Ready…
What’s kind of hilarious is that most of these FBI guys are republicans…
Don’t tell me you listen to reporters now, too? /s
I wonder if any of them are on the fence about that now.
True, but the iron law of bureaucracy applies.
Carter Page is the dictionary definition of hinky.
Trump’s legendary loyalty strikes again. Remember WH staff & family - he’ll sell you out without a second thought.
That’s why everyone stabs Caeser.
