Here is a comprehensive review of the facts on display in the Nunes memo. The man is an American hero, folks.

Brietbart News gives an excellent review of the Nunes memo and  those who referenced therein,  whether directly or implicitly.  Understand that Carter Page was NEVER a Russian agent.  He has been a person of interest to the FBI since 2013,  with no charges nor any evidenccial claims against the man (this is why he is usually smiling).  But, after Trump made him a part of the transition team,  briefly,  the partisan players within the FBI,  those followers of Obama,  he became linked to Trump, along with a man named George Papadopoulos, and the Russian Fantasy became a Democrat "fact." . 

•  The anti-Trump dossier funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee formed an “essential” part of the initial and all three renewal surveillance applications against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page;

•  The political origins of the dossier were “known to senior DOJ and FBI officials,” but those origins were not included in applications to obtain the warrant; (The FISA court was told,  in a non-descript reference, of "political funding" with no details as to Russian ties to the Dossier,  nor the complicity of either the DNC  or the Hillary campaign ~  blog editor)

• Also used to justify the surveillance warrants against Page was a news story supposedly corroborating the dossier, that was pushed by the dossier author Christopher Steele himself — yet the FISA application incorrectly says Steele did not provide the information in the article;  (in other words,  we have Steele testifying in the article, in support of Steele,  while the FBI used the news article as an "outside source" confirming the dossier, an outright lie known to the FBI ~ blog editor).

• Perkins Coie — the law firm for the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee hosted a meeting with Steele, Fusion GPS and media (this revelation makes it harder for the Clinton campaign and the DNC to deny they knew about the dossier, though Clinton and other top DNC officials at that time have denied knowing about it);

• Steele was “suspended and then terminated” as an FBI source, after the FBI learned that he made an authorized disclosure of his relationship with the FBI to liberal media magazine Mother Jones, and he lied to the FBI about his previous media contacts with Yahoo! and other outlets;

• Steele — although portrayed as a “boy scout” by Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson — had personal bias against candidate Donald Trump, telling senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr that he was “desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president”;

• Ohr’s wife Nellie Ohr assisted with the dossier, but the FBI or the DOJ did not disclose this connection in the application for the FISA warrant, even though Bruce Ohr worked “closely” with Deputy Attorney Generals Sally Yates and then Rod Rosenstein — who both signed off on at least one FISA application or renewal;

• At the time that the FBI used the dossier to obtain the spy warrant on Page in October 2016, head of the FBI’s counterintelligence division Bill Priestap had assessed that the corroboration of the dossier was still in its “infancy,” and after Steele was terminated as a source, an FBI unit assessed his reporting as only “minimally corroborated”; (in fact, the dossier has never been confirmed as a wholistic document used in the Russian pole.  It remains only a Hillary Clinton opposition research document ~ editor).

• FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe acknowledged to the House Intelligence Committee in December 2017 that no warrant would have been sought without the dossier;

• The FISA warrant also mentioned information related to another Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, even though there was no evidence of cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos; (Papadopoulos was a nobody who played virtually no role as member of the transition team. He lied to the FBI and is being prosecuted for that reason.  Steele lied to the FBI and is not being prosectured  ,  go figure  ~ blog editor).

• The memo does not state what the information about Papadopoulos was, but said that information was the trigger to the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation on Russian meddling and collusion in late July 2016 (he had told an Australian diplomat at a London bar that a Maltese professor connected to Russia had told him he had dirt on Clinton in the form of emails);

• Peter Strzok, the No. 2 at the FBI’s counterintelligence division opened the bureau’s investigation on Russian meddling and collusion (text messages between him and fellow FBI official and lover Lisa Page show that he held an anti-Trump bias);

• The FBI authorized payments to Steele, but never disclosed that in any of the FISA warrant applications.
