The Witch Hunt Revealed

[Giancarlo]

Berzerker, still going on with that little lie?

[Giancarlo]

Now that I know you're lying about blocking me... how about post some facts for once?

Nobody was spying on anyone. It is a legitimate investigation into illegal activity which was done through proper channels.

Trump is completely screwed, coupled with his ABSOLUTELY COLLAPSING approval ratings (which are now sinking towards his base)... and the intensifying multiple criminal investigations into his administration, campaign and into people around him, you should be ****ting your pants, kidiot. No... you just spend your time posting strawman arguments that have nothing to do with the subject at hand.

[Giancarlo]

Okay how can Kidiot respond to a post that he's blocking? What a liar.

The FBI started their investigation in July 2016, right after they interviewed Steele about the dossier.

Instead both US and UK intelligence sources acknowledge that GCHQ played an early, prominent role in kickstarting the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation, which began in late July 2016.

From the Guardian

Remember that members of Congress have seen the unredacted FISA applications. They can tell you what is not in them. MSM is just covering for these people and using this to try to make Trump look bad.

[Kidlicious]

Spying on political opponents?

[pchang]

How else does one find out about the inner workings of Putin’s Russia without using Russian contacts?

[Uncle Sparky]

No. The dossier that resulted in the Bowling Green Massacre. The one about the child prostitution ring in the Pizza restaurant. I think someone name John McCain was involved... according to Anne Coulter, he's unwell.

[Berzerker]

the dossier based on Russian sources bought by Hillary?

[Berzerker]

wtf? Why are Senate leaks going thru Breitbart and not some reputable outlet?

[Broken_Erika]

I call it Breitbarf.

Garbage source.

The dossier is mostly true. How about dispute that or even try to argue it?

[Giancarlo]

And again Kidiot maximus doesn't read what he posts.

[Kidlicious]

This is how the IRS does it. The FBI does it the same way. Everything must be documented of course.

Preliminary Analysis and Investigation Approvals

Special agents analyze information to determine if criminal tax fraud or some other financial crime may have occurred. Relevant information is evaluated. This preliminary process is called a “primary investigation.” The special agent’s front line supervisor reviews the preliminary information and makes the determination to approve or decline the further development of the information. If the supervisor approves, approval is obtained from the head of the office, the special agent in charge, to initiate a “subject criminal investigation.” At this point, at least two layers of CI management have reviewed the ‘primary investigation’ material and determined there is sufficient evidence to initiate a subject criminal investigation.

Conducting a Criminal Investigation

Once an investigation is opened, the special agent obtains the facts and evidence needed to establish the elements of criminal activity. Various investigative techniques are used to obtain evidence, including interviews of third party witnesses, conducting surveillance, executing search warrants, subpoenaing bank records, and reviewing financial data.

The special agent works closely with IRS Chief Counsel Criminal Tax Attorneys during the course of the criminal investigation. This process ensures all legal aspects of the investigation and prosecution recommendation are correctly addressed.

Do you just ignore everyone who says that an investigation started (in July) based on Papadopoulos talking to much while drunk in May, 2016 and not based on the dossier?

JM

We don't have paragraph 1, but no I do not ignore anyone. Do you have any information?
