FBI Director Admits To Congress That Surveillance of Trump Campaign Was ILLEGAL
February 12, 2020 Baxter Dmitry News, US 3
The 2016 surveillance on a member of President Donald Trump’s campaign team during the Obama administration was in fact illegal, FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted to Congress last week.
The 2016 surveillance on a member of President Donald Trump’s campaign team during the Obama administration was in fact illegal, FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted to Congress last week.
President Donald Trump stunned the world in March 2017 when he accused former President Obama of “wire tapping” Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.
Three years later and the FBI Director is admitting that surveillance of Carter Page, and by extension the Trump campaign, was illegal.
Wray, who replaced the fired James Comey as FBI Director, appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and was asked about FBI surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, which was partially based upon a since-discredited dossier developed by former British spy Christopher Steele.
Western Journal report: Wray was also asked about a report by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz that found the FBI made 17 “significant errors and omissions” in its filings to begin and continue surveillance of Page, which was the first step of what mushroomed into the complex investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller of alleged Russian “collusion” with the Trump campaign.
Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas asked Wray about the report’s conclusions regarding the court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, according to the Washington Examiner.
“The report acknowledges that … this was illegal surveillance with respect to at least several of these FISA applications, because there was not probable cause or proper predication, correct?” Ratcliffe asked.
“Right,” said Wray, who was confirmed in the FBI’s top post in August 2017, replacing fired FBI Director James Comey.
“So to the point of one of my Democratic colleagues that there was no fraud on the court, illegal surveillance and changing evidence to conduct illegal surveillance is the very definition of fraud on the court, is it not?” Ratcliffe followed up.
“Well, I certainly think that it describes conduct that is utterly unacceptable,” Wray said. “We have accepted … every finding in the inspector general’s report, including some that are extremely painful to us as an institution.”
During the hearing, Wray was asked if the Steele dossier might have been Russian disinformation, according to the Washington Examiner.
“We hear so much about Russian interference in our e******n: It happened. We all know it did. We want it to stop,” Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said, according to the Examiner.
“But it seems to me that a big part of that Russian e******n i**********e was the idea that a document that Russians, information came from Russians that Christopher Steele put together, is scary.”
Wray said the FBI’s probe, which was code-named Crossfire Hurricane, is part of the investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham on the orders of Attorney General William Barr.
“I want to make sure we’re not talking past each other unintentionally,” Wray said.
“When it comes to the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, I think the attorney general has said publicly, so I think that’s why I’m on solid ground to say that here, is that’s one of the things that Mr. Durham is looking very specifically at is the origination of the investigation.
“And we have been cooperating fully with that investigation, as the attorney general has commented publicly on a number of occasions.”
During his Judiciary Committee testimony, Wray also said that he fears Russia will interfere in the 2020 e******ns through misinformation campaigns, according to The Associated Press.
“Unlike a cyberattack on an e******n infrastructure, that kind of effort — disinformation — in a world where we have a First Amendment and believe strongly in freedom of expression, the FBI is not going to be in the business of being the t***h police and monitoring disinformation online,” Wray said.
Wray indicated that he did not expect Russia to take a side as much as sow discord.
“They identify an issue that they know that the American people feel passionately about on both sides and then they take both sides and spin them up so they pit us against each other,” Wray said.
“And then they combine that with an effort to weaken our confidence in our e******ns and our democratic institutions, which has been a pernicious and asymmetric way of engaging in … information warfare.”

I would guess that the Deep State is too powerful.

Nixon should have had his hand slapped over the GOP’s wiretapping of the DNC when you compare his actions to that of the DNC and Obama Administration. Seems like nowadays only the people with minor misdemeanors go to jail and those who commit high crimes get to “walk and talk” and “get rewarded rather than punished” for their criminal behavior.

That's just the Democrat ways I can't understand it unless there are too many Republicans in the deep state !
Corruption is not only in DC but here in Illinory firmly in the Democrat corner !
