Strzok was actually fired Friday. Not announced until today. 

 

Gonna float this, but it's becoming more evident to me there are active FISAs on a few of the conspirators like Brennan and probably Strzok. Trump pokes the nest with his tweets and actions, then they listen to the fallout and collect the SIGINT. 

 

 

 

FISA warrants (w/ the 2 skip openness & ability to review stuff beyond the simple timeline) or regular old-fashioned search warrants just on the particular individuals/devices?

Never heard of Mark Levin up until about a few months ago, but he lays out this whole Russia thing, the Constitution and Trump's role in the Constitution perfectly.

 

Most interesting guy on Radio IMO.

Quote

 

President Trump and his parrots frequently squawk that the appointment of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is “unconstitutional.” They don’t explain their reasoning, if there is any, but on Monday, a federal court judge appointed by Trump said that claim was hooey.

Judge Dabney L. Friedrich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia:

The Special Counsel’s appointment complies with the Constitution’s Appointments Clause because (1) the Special Counsel is an “inferior Officer”; and (2) Congress “by Law vest[ed]” the Acting Attorney General with the power to make the appointment. U.S. Const. art. II, § 2, cl. 2.

First, the Special Counsel is an inferior officer because he is directed and supervised by the Acting Attorney General. Although the Special Counsel regulations may not permit the Acting Attorney General to countermand certain decisions made by the Special Counsel, the Special Counsel remains subject to the Acting Attorney General’s plenary supervision: the Acting Attorney General has the discretionary power to rescind or revise the regulations; moreover, the Acting Attorney General effectively has the power to remove the Special Counsel at will, either via the regulations or by rescinding or revising the regulations. Second, Congress vested the Acting Attorney General with the power to appoint the Special Counsel. Even though no statute explicitly authorizes the Acting Attorney General to make the appointment, Supreme Court and D.C. Circuit precedent make clear that the Acting Attorney General has the necessary statutory authority.

[Plaintiff’s] secondary arguments also fail. The appointment does not violate core separation-of-powers principles. Nor has the Special Counsel exceeded his authority under the appointment order by investigating and prosecuting Concord.

The ruling came in the context of a motion to dismiss brought by Concord Management and Consulting LLC, indicted for allegedly“funding a Russian troll farm that used social media to sow discord among the American public in a broader plot to interfere in the election.” The firm purportedly has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I would think if you're targeting the former heads of two powerful counter intelligence agencies, like Strzok and Brennan, FISAs are the best way to go - so long as they have the necessary evidence and cause. Which, based on what's available in open source, they do. 

 

Remember, there's evidence that both Brennan (trips to Moscow in 2016) and Strzok (several London trips in 2016) were meeting with and working with both British and Russian intelligence services in order to fool the FISC and undermine a sitting potus. 

 

That's likely more than enough cause to get the FISC to sign off on it. And they way Trump rattles their cages, it sure seems like there's an ongoing surveillance operation in place to hear/listen/collect evidence on how Brennan and the other conspirators react to developments.

This is the 12,457,970th time Trump is screwed.

If they mean Porn Stars, then Trump really is "screwed". ?

[IDBillzFan]

Okay, so now we really, really, really, really, really, really mean Trump is screwed this time.

 

Really.

 

No. Really.

 

Maybe this time...

Of course he is. The question is he doing so legally. Both subject traveled to foreign nations (Russia and England) where they met and conspired with intelligence services to execute a coup of a sitting US president.

 

That more than meets the requirements for getting a legal and justified FISA on Brennan and Strzok. It's more than they had on Page. 

 

There's always a "distraction" which breaks when news like this hits. Let's see what well they go to this time. 

I hope they've got one of John Kerry too. He went to Iran to talk with the great and holy Ayatollah Kakameime to pass him some #RESISTANCE info after Trump gave them a two fingered New Jersey salute..

Where have we heard that before?

 

 

All these firings and demotions mean only one thing, Trump's done for now!

He was the first guy I suspected had one once those pictures of him meeting with Iranians in Paris leaked. Worth a FISA right there (but I wonder if those pictures were collected by active surveillance in the first place.)

REALLY!? One line in Peter Strzok’s GoFundMe profile has sent heads CRASHING to desks

 

Strzok’s hoping the Resistance and their money are easily parted (at the time this post was published he’d already raised over $30,000). But the wording of the GoFundMe page for Strzok, which says it was created by a group called “Friends of Special Agent Peter Strzok,” makes a claim that might cause anybody who’s followed this story to do a big eyeroll

 

..."Peter Strzok is a proud husband..."

Guessing his wife wasn't the proof-reader on this release!pic.twitter.com/yxH2z53fca

 

 

Also:

Peter Strzok--the FBI agent who vowed to "stop Trump," who was admonished by the DOJ IG for his bias, and who was screwing around with FBI co-conspirator Lisa Page--is using a delusional @weeklystandard exoneration of him to raise cash for himself.
