In early 2016 NSA Director Rogers caught on to a massive and pre-existing weaponization of government surveillance and the use of collected NSA metadata for political spy operations. Everything, that comes AFTER March 2016 is one big blanket cover-up operation….. ALL OF IT.
Fusion GPS was not hired in April 2016 to research Donald Trump. The intel community was already doing surveillance and spy operations. They already knew everything about the Trump campaign. Obama needed Fusion GPS to give a justification for pre-existing surveillance and spying
On Pages 11-12 of the Weissmann/Mueller report, the special counsel team outlines the purpose and intent of the probe as delivered by Rod Rosenstein. Within these pages Mueller outlines the August 2nd Scope Memo that has previously been hidden and remains redacted through today.
Note the careful wording “the Special Counsel had been authorized since his appointment to investigate allegations”… This means from Day #1 of the special counsel, the scope of the probe was always to investigate the claims within the Ohr/Steele Dossier:
The August 2nd Scope Memo additionally authorized the investigation of “certain other matters” specifically relating to Manafort (financial crimes), and Papadopolous and Flynn (FARA violations).
This says a great deal about what originated the FBI investigation and the continued purpose of the special counsel. The special counsel was a continuance of the FBI counterintelligence operation which officially began on July 31st, 2016. The unofficial beginning was much earlier
Understanding now that Mueller is saying from Day One he was investigating the Steele Dossier; here’s where we all need to question the assumptions. Why is the Steele Dossier so important?
From the beginning most people have thought the Fusion-GPS objective was to dig up dirt on Trump for political exploitation. However, with all the recent information outlined there’s actually a more significant role for Fusion.
The overall intelligence apparatus of the U.S. government was already conducting political surveillance on their political opposition. The systems of the intelligence apparatus such as FISA-702(16)(17) databases searches were being exploited months (if not years) beforehand…..
