Hugh Hewitt: The Failure to Confess That the Steele Rumor-Sheet Was Paid for By Hillary and the DNC is a "Damning Omission"
Hewitt was a former prosecutor who reviewed many similar applications.
Yes, a footnote said, vaguely, that the Steele Smear Document was commissioned by a "political" source. That's not quite the same as saying "Donald Trump's opponent in this election commissioned this word salad of unverified rumors and smears, and his opponent now seeks to initiate criminal process against him to even out the email investigation against her." Here's a bit of what Hewitt wrote:Upon publication of the Nunes memo, a retired federal judge emailed me: "There is not an officer of the court in the land who in the context of this particular application to the FISA court should not have identified the source of the information as having been the [Democratic National Committee] and the Clinton Campaign. If I had granted the application and then subsequently learned that the information was sourced to the DNC and the Campaign, I would have rescinded the authorization and issued a show-cause order to the Government to explain who and why this sourcing was not made known to the court. The fact (if it be that) that the Government told the court that it was a political source, but did not identify who, in this particular instance, is highly probative that the Government purposely misled the court."

Yeah... FISA was just reauthorized, and supposedly Nunes put some new language in for more protection...
But the only thing I've found online with the actual verbiage really didn't change a dang thing.
Like... if someone searches all the data they have collected, and finds something, they have 24 hours to get a warrant... AFTER THEY FIND IT.... the only penalty they have for NOT getting a warrant is they can't use it in court.
So they can search the shit out of you... with no warrant, then either get an Ex Post Facto Warrant, OR, they can use it anywhere BUT a Court...
Language of the latest bill is scary.

Seems to me that there is a penalty for perjury, and that any self-respecting judge would bring down the long arm of the law on that sort of behavior.
Unless, of course, they judge-shopped and found sympathetic types, who would then provide cover for malfeasance.
At which point, DJT needs to do a little culling of the herd, so to speak.

In fairness, in a properly functioning system, no application would be made unless there were compelling circumstances to do so, in which case granting the request would be appropriate.
Which is not to say the present system is necessarily functioning properly. But if the vast majority of such requests were valid, I can see where a judge might whiff on the odd duff one.

Appointed to the FISC or appointed to the federal judiciary?
Because neither is true.
So maybe you mean a third?

You can read his very soul, eh?
It is possible for people to just be mistaken then see the light. You don't have to ASSUME everyone who disagrees with you has ulterior, shabby motives and you don't have to ASSUME that a change of opinion must be self-serving.
Hewitt made a call to the Dennis Prager show last week abjectly apologizing for thinking Dennis was greatly exaggerating the corruption and toxicity of the Dems.
He admitted that he was blind, naive, and dead wrong.
I suspect he was sincere --- though I can't read his soul.
I have seen the same progression in one of my squishy-RINOish brothers though. The fool was so anti-Trump and (thank heaven) anti-Clinton he didn't even vote in 2016. Now he admits he was a....fool. A damned fool.
My hope is that a lot of squishes turn around like that.
And if we get more Hugh Hewiit types to change their tune --- for whatever reason --- it might help. Can't hurt, anyway.

However, those of us in Cali who saw the illegal alien problem back in 1994, including the Governor Pete Wilson who was the RINOiest of RINOs, were told by Baby Huey and his ilk that we were bigots, and to shut up and enjoy the cheaper gardeners and maids. And Baby Huey still hasn't apologized for that. Still a sore point with me.

>>As I've noted - I don't think the theory of FISC judges being corrupt is as likely as the judge or judges had been deceived. That seems far likelier.
Certainly possible, considering the way FISC is set up. The warrant requests are supposed to be stringently vetted (Woods procedures) before being presented, which is what the low denial rate is attributed to.
However, the strange forced recusal of judge Contreras on the Flynn case just a day or so after Flynn made a plea deal was fishy - since Contreras is also currently a FISA court judge.

Simple explanation to all of Ace's peccadillos; first Ace is an Aztec and they like to walk around in the skins of others cuz Sun God (aka SMOD); secondly, he speaks of shelves but this is merely a cover for his skin holders - evidently the movie Predator had a life changing impact on Ace; finally, Ace needed the hangers since his crawlspace is full.

"That an omission of a material fact occurred in the warrant application does not indict former FBI director James B. Comey or any of the other reviewing or approving officials up to and including Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein. Staffs exist to prepare and review these applications, to search for just such a crucial omission or false assertion. . . . To expect the nation's top cop or its top law enforcement officer to read and carefully review even the least important applications is to expect too much of an overwhelmingly burdened key players."
This is flatly wrong and Hewitt damn well knows it. He damn well knows it.
When you are the attorney signing anything, but most particularly a pleading, you are 100% completely and totally responsible for everything in it. My staff screwed up isn't an acceptable response. You signed it. If you didn't read it or if you said "This is right, right?" and then scrawled your signature, that's on you.
I got into it with my boss about reviewing something last week and he threw at me "What I can't trust what you did?" and I shot back "Hey, it's not my name on the door and my license on the line." Because that's true. If I screw up, he's the one who bears the consequences, not me. Now, I take that very seriously indeed which is part of the reason why I've always fought with my various bosses that, no, it's not a compliment that you can trust my work. I don't want you to trust my work because I don't want to get you in trouble please, for the love of God, check this.
Hewitt knows this. He knows full well that the attorney who signs off on it is completely and utterly and totally responsible for what he is signing. So if that attorney wants to accept the help of his staff to take some of the burden off of him, then that attorney also has to accept the risk that if and when the staff screws up, he's the one responsible.
I'm so sick of all these attempts to give people power without also demanding they take responsibility.

Right. And Comey is an attorney, and former prosecutor, and former general counsel, etc. etc.
So, yeah, he knows what his signature on a pleading means.
But even if he didn't, as you say, it doesn't matter. It's a bit of a legal fiction, I suppose, but affixing your signature to any document you file with the court is saying, "I attest that this is true and that all facts and arguments are presented in best faith etc. etc"
The old "ah, shit, some nameless person lied and I didn't catch it" move would not work with mere mortals. Fortunately for Comey, he's an insider in the deep state, so no big deal.

I'll give Jack Straw a break and I'll mention that the FISA court has been pissed about the DOJ and FBI about lack of candor to the tribunal since at least 2014.
Note, however, that it doesn't appear that being peeved has extended to such things as not rubber stamping the warrant applications.

warrant application does not indict former FBI director James B. Comey
or any of the other reviewing or approving officials up to and including
Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein. Staffs exist to prepare and
review these applications, to search for just such a crucial omission
or false assertion. . . . To expect the nation's top cop or its top law
enforcement officer to read and carefully review even the least
important applications is to expect too much of an overwhelmingly
burdened key players."
This is flatly wrong and Hewitt damn well knows it. He damn well knows it.
When you are the attorney signing anything, but most particularly a
pleading, you are 100% completely and totally responsible for everything
in it. My staff screwed up isn't an acceptable response. You signed
it. If you didn't read it or if you said "This is right, right?" and
then scrawled your signature, that's on you.
I got into it with my boss about reviewing something last week and
he threw at me "What I can't trust what you did?" and I shot back "Hey,
it's not my name on the door and my license on the line." Because
that's true. If I screw up, he's the one who bears the consequences,
not me. Now, I take that very seriously indeed which is part of the
reason why I've always fought with my various bosses that, no, it's not a
compliment that you can trust my work. I don't want you to trust my
work because I don't want to get you in trouble please, for the love of
God, check this.
Hewitt knows this. He knows full well that the attorney who signs
off on it is completely and utterly and totally responsible for what he
is signing. So if that attorney wants to accept the help of his staff
to take some of the burden off of him, then that attorney also has to
accept the risk that if and when the staff screws up, he's the one
responsible.
I'm so sick of all these attempts to give people power without also demanding they take responsibility.
*throws things*

This. My last lawyer got slapped by the judge with a $10,000 fine (and not coincidentally fired by me) for misrepresentation in court filings. Judges take that VERY seriously.

I don't believe that, and that's because I've tried to follow everything he's actually said. The more I see, the more I'm convinced that Carter Page may be one of the few people involved in this shitshow who has been TOTALLY honest about everything he knew from the start. He has done some foolish things, and appears to have always been guilty of trying to make himself look a lot more important than he ever was, but who in Washington doesn't do that?
No one has ever been able to name one thing that Carter Page has ever done that was actually a crime. 4 years of surveillance of everything he said, everything he wrote, and they can't even get him on jaywalking.

Wait .... Fusion GPS sent a russian honey pot to see Don jr, after said Honeypot got an extension form Loretta Lynch's Department and Jr tells honeypot to pound sand and they want to wring him up on charges that he did wasn't truthful with the FBI. Would the FBI believe him if he said it was set up? They were in on it. They were paying Fusion, weren't they?
What a mess the FBI has made of this.

That is my take too. Both the surveillance of Page and the surveillance of Papadopoulas was aimed at getting access to Trump (circuitously because there was no way in hell they were going to get a warrant to spy on him directly). With all of the wiretapping they got nothing on Page and they only got a dubious "lying to the FBI" charge against Papadopoulas.
I say dubious because the FBI refuse to tape their interviews so we have only the FBI agents' written account of what is said. In a he said/she said between the FBI and a private citizen, the private citizen is not going to be believed even when the FBI apparently lies all the time.

From the DOJ's own counsel.
https://tinyurl.com/ya67az4x
"STIGMATIZING CONNOTATION
The application of "Glomarization" in the privacy context is appropriate because disclosure of the mere fact that an individual is mentioned in an agency's law enforcement files carries a stigmatizing connotation, one certainly cognizable under FOIA Exemption 7(C), 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(C).See, e.g., Fund for Constitutional Government v. National Archives & Records Service, 656 F.2d 856, 865 (D.C. Cir. 1981) ("The disclosure of [the fact that specific individuals were the subjects of a criminal investigation] would produce the unwarranted result of placing the named individuals in the position of having to defend their conduct in the public forum outside of the procedural protections normally afforded the accused in criminal proceedings."); Baez v. Department of Justice, 647 F.2d 1328, 1338 (D.C. Cir. 1980) ("There can be no clearer example an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy than to release to the public that another individual was the subject of an FBI investigation."); see also Miller v. Bell, 661 F.2d 623, 631 32 (7th Cir. 1981) (identities of individuals merely mentioned in law enforcement records protected), cert. denied sub nom. Miller v. Webster, 456 U.S. 960 (1982); Maroscia v. Levi, 569 F.2d 1000, 1002 (7th Cir. 1977) (same).
Indeed, only through the consistent application of this masked response to third-party requests, regardless of whether responsive records do actually exist, can the privacy of those who are in fact mentioned in law enforcement files be protected. For example, if an agency provided a "no records" response to its first nine requests for third-party investigatory files, it could not then respond to the tenth request -- where records in fact do exist by "refusing to confirm or deny" without, in effect, disclosing the very fact sought to be protected. See, e.g., Antonelli v. FBI, 721 F.2d 615, 616-19 (7th Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 104 S. Ct. 2399 (1984); Rushford v. Civiletti, 485 F. Supp. 477, 478-80 (D.D.C. 1980), aff'd mem. sub nom. Rushford v. Smith, 656 F.2d 900 (D.C. Cir. 1981); see also Gardels v. CIA, 689 F.2d 1100, 1104-06 (D.C. Cir. 1982) (operation of "Glomarization" in national security context)."

Seems like that should have been the first person interviewed.
It is as aggravating as the Benghazi stand down investigation. In that case another it is another instance where the answer could have been obtained in short order.
You start from the bottom and work your way up with just one question. Who gave you the order to stand down? Easy Peasy.
Did the FISA judge grant the warrant based on the dossier? Seems that question could have been answered a year ago if they were just able to asked the judge.
This is why people hate the government. They do nothing in a straight line.

They are both extremely bad, but with this information, there's no way to legally Justify the FISA warrant AT ALL.
The entire basis for everything is based on Carter Page being a potential Russian spy coordinating between Trump and Russian agents.
The fact that he was an FBI mole completely destroys that justification and instead shows an effort by the FBI to not only spy on Trump, but to actively entrap him, like they tried to do with the DTJR / Natalia Veselnitskaya meeting... Remember that she was personally admitted into the US by Loretta Lynch.
This entire thing was a coordinated black-op from the beginning and both Page and Popadopalous are moles/plants that provided the connection the FBI needed to justify everything that has followed since, including the Mueller investigation...
ARREST THEM ALL NOW!!!
Posted by: I smell something rotten at February 06, 2018 01:50 PM (iWzUm)
Hell, they could have told Page he was on a secret patriotic mission to protect Trump.
It didn't matter what he was doing at the Campaign, only that he was there, so the FBI could tell the FISA Court that he was a Russian agent, thereby justifying wiretaps on the Trumps.
Criminals.
Posted by: The Gipper Lives at February 06, 2018 01:55 PM (y7VOF)
It was a sham application with the clear intent to conduct political surveillance of a political opponent.
Know how we know?
Its all the unmasking and leaking.
I can't believe everyone is reporting about the FISA application and ensuing warrant without linking it to the unmasking/leaking, which clearly explains the primary motive.
