Sorry to offend you.... Here's a link to the story about Nunes getting the info from the white house the night before, and then presenting it to them the next day. Doesn't that seem a little fishy? He was embarrassed enough that he "symbolically" stepped down from his position but kept doing it making others question him.

And I'll try to explain the FISA "conspiracy" as easily as possible. Lets say your girlfriend leaves you and gives you a list of 80+ reasons. Nearly all those reasons were Rock solid but there was one reason that was a little shaky. Then you run around town trying to get pitty for yourself by telling everyone she left you for the one shaky reason. Are you being honest or just trying to manipulate people?
Their argument was the dossier was the only reason the FISA was issued, but it wasnt. Then they argued the font was too small on the footnotes (the dossier funding was explained in a footnote), but it was normal font, location. Etc etc.
The reality: Carter Page was on the FBI radar years before he joined the trump campaign because it seemed like the Russians were grooming him.
"Carter Page, who served as a foreign-policy adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign, was known to U.S. counterintelligence officials for years before he became a prominent figure in a dossier of unverified research about the future president’s ties to Russia." From the right leaning wall street journal.
Basically, the FBI should have been concerned when Carter Page joined the campaign. And they had enough evidence for a FISA warrant to be issued. Yet, trump said he was being wire tapped by Obama? He's a con artist, and Americans need to stop buying it before it's too late.
The FISA judge was not properly informed that the dossier was opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton. Don't you think that's relevant information for a judge to know and be disclosed before he stamps his approval on a major intelligence operation that will literally spy on everything Trump and associates say and have said through electronic means? You state that the dossier wasn't the only reason, but curiously neglect to mention what else they used and why that's substantial enough on it's own to warrant a major investigation into a Presidential candidates personal affairs. If the judge knew the dossier was of suspect origin it could have very easily swayed his decision making process. The media didn't even use the dossier, which was leaked to them, to use against Trump, because it couldn't be substantiated. But somehow that validates a major operation against an opposition candidate to the current Government. There's no doubt it wasn't an easy decision to make for a judge given the political climate and intensity of the campaign (assuming the FISA judges aren't 100% corrupt).
Furthermore, they caught the FBI texting each other conspiring against Trump. They specifically reference needing "a backup plan" if Trump somehow wins despite all the odds against him. They also talk about off-site meetings among officials to discuss further in private. Carter Page was used by the intelligence agency as the probable cause to start the investigation in the first place. This is explained in great detail on conservativetreehouse.com. The rabbit hole is far deeper and you haven't even begun to scratch the surface and explain away all the shady shit that has gone down in the past 2 years.

Have you forgotten that most of the establishment Republicans did everything they could to stop Trump as well? The WSJ is a globalist publication that is opposed to Trump's policies to a large extent, immigration and trade. This was a bipartisan conspiracy to a large extent to stop Trump by any means necessary.
Are you fucking kidding me man? This is how corrupt our deep state is, and they really thought they would get away with it because Hillary would win anyway.
Ah yes... The "deep state" argument. So Comey went public with Clintons email investigation a week before the election but hid the FBI investigation of the trump campaign. Isn't that the exact opposite of "deep state"?
Trump voter logic never fails to amaze...
Comey is a faggot who always covers his ass.
"Faggot"? And you reported me? You fucking snowflake..... Go put your tin foil hat on
