Criminal referrals for Hillary, Comey, and Lynch

[Gary K]

The House Oversight Committee, in a story broken by Sara A. Carter, has sent the DOJ criminal referrals concerning the Steele dossier and Lynch's threats against an FBI informant.

Congressional lawmakers made a criminal referral Wednesday to the Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions against former senior-level Obama administration officials, including employees of the FBI connected with the unverified dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as those involved in the warrants used to spy on a former Trump campaign volunteer, this reporter has learned. The lawmakers also made a criminal referral on former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and threats made by her DOJ against the FBI informant, who provided the bureau with information on the Russian nuclear industry and the approval in 2010 to sell roughly 20 percent of American uranium mining assets to Russia.

That diversion has been tried before. You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting the outcome to be different.

And why Page was being watched?

Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page bragged that he was an adviser to the Kremlin in a letter obtained by TIME that raises new questions about the extent of Page’s contacts with the Russian government over the years.

The letter, dated Aug. 25, 2013, was sent by Page to an academic press during a dispute over edits to an unpublished manuscript he had submitted for publication, according to an editor who worked with Page.

“Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal advisor to the staff of the Kremlin in preparation for their Presidency of the G-20 Summit next month, where energy issues will be a prominent point on the agenda,” the letter reads.

Page is at the center of a controversial memo from Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, released this week. The Nunes memo claims that in Oct. 2016 the FBI improperly received court permission to spy on Page, whom Trump had named as an adviser to his campaign in March 2016. The Nunes memo says the FBI based its request for eavesdropping permission on information provided by former British spy Christopher Steele while Steele was working for Democrats.

House Democrats, the FBI and the Justice Department have all raised questions about what they say are omissions and misleading analysis in the Nunes memo. They argue the FBI presented multiple pieces of evidence, beyond the Steele dossier, in their request for a warrant against Page from the secretive FISA court.

Carter Page first came to the attention of FBI’s counterintelligence division in 2013, when he was approached by Russian intelligence officers. At the time he was an energy consultant who travelled between the US and Russia frequently.

The story that "it was the Steele dossier" has been completely debunked.

Eventually, you guys are going to have to accept the fact that neither Clinton, nor the Obama administration were criminals, and your hatred of them doesn't make them criminals, and your willingness to tear down the non-partisan administration of Justice to try to change that verdict is a monstrous injustice and potential crime in and of itself.
