Chakra Superstar:
I won’t speak for Ucci but the OP asked whether political bias from the FBI is a fact or fiction and it has turned out to be a fact.
The Nunes memo is a summary of the House Intelligence Committee (HIC) investigation into the claim the FBI/DoJ Trump investigation was biased and that they abused their surveillance authority by spying. The gist of the summary is this:
- Clinton PAID Fusion GPS $160K to get dirt on Trump
K: and the moon is in the sky, so what…
- Fusion GPS hired Steele (ex-MI6)
K: actually the fact is, fusion was researching GOP candidates early in 2016 while
being paid by an GOP firm…later a law firm, Perkins Coie, retained Fusion GPS on
behalf of both Clinton and the DNC, roughly April, 2016… Fusion subcontracted
Steel, a retired M1-6 agent…Steele dossier circulated in them media during the fall
of fall 2016…and the existence of the dossier was revealed publicly by David Corn
of Mother Jones on OCT 31…too late to influence the election…on January 10, 2017
Buzz feed publish the entire dossier…
The dossier has 6 major points…1: Trump has cooperated with Russian Authorities for years…
the payoff for IQ45 was the Russian nationals who brought his property for a massive
increase of price… for example, his building was for sale for 8 million dollars,
and some Russian national bought it for 45 million dollars…therein lies possible
money laundry charges…
2: IQ45 is vulnerable to Russian blackmail on sexual matters… as the Russians
are supposed to have a tape of IQ45 being peed on by prostitutes in the Moscow
Ritz-Carlton…
3: there was a “well developed conspiracy of cooperation” between IQ45 and Russia…
which was managed by Manafort with Carter Page being the intermediary until
Manafort firing in Aug, 2016… afterward IQ45 personal lawyer, Michael Cohen played
an increasingly larger role in magaging the “Kremlin Relationship” this is similar to
what we are finding out today with details being slightly different…
4: IQ45 team know of and approved of the Russian plan to deliver E-MAILS
to WikiLeaks and offered them policy concessions in exchange… to date, as
far as we know, this hasn’t been proven…
5: Carter Page played a key role in the conspiracy…so far Page has denied under
oath, that he didn’t have such a role…and no proof has shown up but we don’t
know what Mueller knows…
6: Michael Cohen played a key role in the conspiracy… after Manafort was fired,
Cohen traveled to a European country, later claimed to be the Czech Republic for
a meeting in late August or early Sept… Cohen’s claims to have never been to
the Czech Republic, but he could have traveled via another Schengen area country
and like Manafort have multiple passports… both is possible…
Now the interesting thing about the Dossier is how much Steele didn’t find out…
for example, the dossier doesn’t mention Natalia Veselnitskaya who did arrange
the infamous Trump tower meeting on, June 16?..it doesn’t mention Papadolpolous
who has since pleaded guilty…
the problem with the entire GOP narrative about the dossier is how the FBI actually
became involved in this whole thing… in May 2016, during a night of heavy drinking,
Papadolpoulos, told the Australia’s ambassador to the UK, that Moscow had
thousands of emails that would embarrass Mrs. Clinton, stolen in an effort to try to
to damage her campaign… the Australian ambassador told his government who in
turned told the FBI… and then the FBI began to investigate both the Russian hacking itself
and the possible involvement of the IQ45 campaign which is before the FBI got the
dossier…so the link you are looking for happened BEFORE Steele took the dossier to
the FBI… this takes care of the dossier part of this rebuttal…
-
Steele paid Russian agents to collect dirt on Trump which means: CLINTON PAID RUSSIANS (VIA INTERMEDIARIES) TO INTERFERE IN THE ELECTIONS.
-
Steele contacted left-wing media and planted stories about Trump/Russian collusion.
-
The left-wing media ate it up and flooded the news outlets with fake news.
-
Steele then used the fake stories he leaked, and included them in his dossier to prove Trump was colluding with Russia – i.e. he quoted his own stories in the dossier to back up his fake narrative.
-
The Steele dossier included amateur research some of it seemingly lifted from Wikipedia, errors that were easily proven wrong (e.g. Page could not have met with Russians in Prague because he has NEVER been to Prague) and salacious stories like the one about Trump hating Obama so much that he hired the Moscow hotel room Obama stayed in and got prostitutes to piss on the bed Obama used etc.
-
Even though doubtful, the FBI accepted the information with almost NO VERIFICATION.
K: recall that the FBI was investigating this story BEFORE, getting the Dossier… so it was
just used as secondary information… and recall that to get a FISA warrant,
you need to get a sign off on a minimum of 6 FBI and Justice people… and every 90 days,
from a federal judge… if the FBI came to a FEDERAL judge with nothing, the judge
would have laughed them out of court… and in fact, it seems the judge did ask and was
told about the path of the dossier… which isn’t really relevant but one sole source
of information will not get you a FISA warrant…
-
The FBI then used the information (they believed to be largely untrue) to get a FISA spy warrant on Page (a Trump foreign affairs advisor) and thus by extension, spy on the communication going to and from Trump and his team.
-
The FBI didn’t tell the FISA court that the dossier was 1. virtually UNVERIFIED 2. written by a vehemently anti-Trump source with a history of lying or 3. that the source of the information used his own leaks to use in the dossier.
K: they did tell the judge and had to tell every single judge since then, recall, you
need to renew the FISA warrant every 90 days… and how do you know that steel is
an “vehemently anti-trump source with a history of lying”? inquiring minds want to know…
- The FBI admitted under oath to Congress that they KNEW the information was fake. Knowing this, the FBI still used the fake information to extend their spy warrant on Page/Trump three times.
K: when? how do you know this?
This is NOT justice. Justice supposed to be blind; without fear or favour This is political bias in the extreme. For anyone who believes in the rule of law, an unbiased police and justice system and a functioning, fully-informed democracy, this should worry the shit out of you. If the Republicans were doing this shit to the Democrats, I have exactly the same response - no fear or favour. But this is beyond disgusting.

K: me thinks you are protesting too much… I really wonder why you are so
afraid of this investigation…but the real problem lies in the right’s remarkable
turnaround…the right now loves Russia and Putin and hates America and
its institutions… if you don’t hate America and its institutions, why do
you keep attacking the FBI and its work? Why do you insist on damaging
the credibility and work of the FBI? the government and its institutions can
only work if they have the full faith and trust of the american citizens
and by attacking the FBI in particular and intellegence agencies
in general, you are damaging America in a very real and profound way…and
not only the FBI, but the justice department has come under heavy attack
and all that does us undermined our judicial system but hay, if you hate
america so much as to undermine the entire political system, you can
always move to Mother Russia… I am sure Putin would love you to
undermine America… he might even put you on the payroll with IQ45 and
his minons…you can troll on internet sites like this and make money
defending IQ45… wait a minute, you troll this sites with nonsense
and you clearly hate america and its institutions, you are paid by Putin…
I have some questions, are you paid in Rubles or in dollars? What kind of
401k plan does Russia have? do you have a medical plan?..
