Senate Judiciary Hearing on IG report (1 Viewer)

[Sand]

Mistakes were clearly made.  There is no evidence of any conspiracy to take Trump down.  

Well, we have 17 big mistakes and they all go in one direction.  The chances of that are zero.  When you add all that up points to a concerted effort - there's no getting around the numbers.

Yet...the IG who investigated it said the opposite of the bold, no?

Isn’t it possible if the IG did a review of any random FBI investigation that an overwhelming majority of the procedural errors would be “against” the object of the investigation?  Isn’t that kind of the nature of a criminal investigative body?

The chances of that are exactly 100%. There's only one possible direction an error can go in this context.

That's not true. At least 2 of the errors included information which would have benefited Trump -- i.e., the fact that the FBI omitted information showing that Christopher Steele had no history of reporting in bad faith, and the fact that the FBI had information showing that Christopher Steele was "suitable for continued operation". Those two facts would have balanced out anti-Trump information that was omitted by the FBI.

But with Trump trying to extort Ukraine, many patriots all testifying to the same thing, and the actions by Trump supporting this narrative, when you add that all up don't point to a concerted effort?

I was going to respond to Sand asking what possible errors could have gone in the other direction because I have no clue what those may have been but I see you addressed it.

 

[John Blutarsky]

That's not true. At least 2 of the errors included information which would have benefited Trump -- i.e., the fact that the FBI omitted information showing that Christopher Steele had no history of reporting in bad faith, and the fact that the FBI had information showing that Christopher Steele was "suitable for continued operation". Those two facts would have balanced out anti-Trump information that was omitted by the FBI.

And the FBI omitted information about Steele: that he had previously exercised "poor judgment," that he had a history of pursuing people "with political risk but no intelligence value," and that he did not want Trump to become president, the report said.

Opps Altered documents.

when he briefed trump on it.     then called brennan after the appointment and said "mission accomplished".      I thought you knew this stuff.

Briefing Trump isn’t leaking it...its what he was supposed to do.  He briefed him on the contents of the dossier
