The FBI’s Private Contractors – FISA Abuse, the Steele Dossier & A Timeline
I recently wrote an updated post on the many FISA abuses uncovered by NSA Director Mike Rogers – and how DOJ’s National Security Division Head John Carlin intentionally hid these abuses from the FISA Court.
It’s highly improbable that DNI James Clapper did not know about the FISA Abuses as well.
One of the more significant revelations unearthed by Rogers was the FBI’s use of outside private contractors. For those already familiar – scroll down to section on Evelyn Farkas.Continue Reading

Nunes, Importance of the Electronic Communication & Distractions
Nunes is demanding the DOJ/FBI produce the Electronic Communication (EC) used to establish the opening of the FBI counterintelligence investigation into the Trump Campaign.
There are actually two components to Nunes’ demands:
- Information – known as the “Electronic Communication” (EC) – used to open an FBI Counterintelligence Investigation into the Trump Campaign in July 2016.
- The FISA Application used to obtain a FISA warrant on Carter Page on October 21, 2016.
John Brennan’s Role in the FBI’s Trump-Russia Investigation
In the summer of 2016, Robert Hannigan, head of Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with then-CIA Head John Brennan regarding alleged communications between the Trump Campaign and Moscow.
That summer, GCHQ’s then head, Robert Hannigan, flew to the US to personally brief CIA chief John Brennan. The matter was deemed so important that it was handled at “director level”, face-to-face between the two agency chiefs.
The meeting between Hannigan and Brennan appears somewhat…unusual.Continue Reading
