#1 This is nice. But now we need to see indictments. And orange jumpsuits.

#2 "For more than four years before the election of Donald Trump, there was an illegal spying operation going on by FBI [private] contractors ‐ four of them ‐ to steal personal information, electronic information about Americans and to use it against the Republican Party."

I believe this may be new information.

#3 Ah, right, good catch.

So this a) goes back to the Romney campaign in 2012, and b) has plausible deniability thanks to the plumbers "FBI contractors"

#4 One must wonder if Steele's Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd was the 'contractor.'

WIKI Steele had been a paid confidential human source for the FBI before preparing the Steele dossier, and the FBI found "Steele's information to be valuable and that it warranted compensation", with Steele receiving $95,000 from the FBI between 2014 and 2016 for information on previous matters unrelated to Trump.[99] From information in the report...

Emphasis added.

#5 IIRC the FBI used Steele to nab the FIFA thief around that time - forget his name... that Sub Blotto or Stub Bladder guy

#6 Kind of ironic that the maroons squealing about Russia "collusion" are likely the same sh!ts who would have spied on the GOP candidate whom Zero mocked for his "cold war" "1980s" foreign policies that were too tough on Putin-- the ones that lacked a certain, so to speak, flexibility.

What despicable clowns.

#7 Using an MI6 cutout (Orbis), to collect intelligence on US Persons (USP)? Kicking FISA and 'FIVE EYES' sharing and EO-12333 circumvention up a notch I'd say. Could be viewed by some as treason.

It would appear that at some point someone crossed the line and Admiral Rogers dropped the flag.

It just gets interestinger and interestinger.

#9 Well the foking Intelligence Community (IC), Brennan, Clapper, and associates, gave themselves away early on. They must have known that it would only be a matter of time until the 'Joe DiGneova's' of the world assembled the social network.

Key takeaway here is; it appears to have all taken place on Soetoro's watch and would have likely never have seen the light of day had the Hildebeest defeated the Orange Man.

#10 What did Zero know and when did he know it?

#11 Seriously? Nobody will talk about it at all. Al Gore's CALEA Wiretap Law of 1994 is the base of all future attacks from that date on US Citizens.
It required the phone and cellular companies to fork their communications streams and send 1/4 of all voice communications and all data to the FBI!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation on CALEA

#12 Think about that. All the missing emails and data on everybody have been quietly copied to the FBI and they never raise their hand and say "WE HAVE IT".

Seriously, if your computer crashes, the chance is high enough, that somewhere in the FBI archives should be everything to restore your data!

#13 That would include: every virus, every email from a Nigerian Prince, every requested and unrequested piece of Pr0n. every Hillary email, every Microsoft update .... everything...

#14 It also requires the FBI in one shape or other (contracts etc) to be the prime hard drive/storage user on the planet.

#15 ...also requires competent people in long term handling, storage, and preservation. If it's physical, it deteriorates. Nah. NASA can't even read its old stuff anymore. Come on guys, we're talking civil service employees here.

#16 Time to pull the handle on the toilet and flush as many times as necessary. A plunger might be needed.

#17 for those wondering, ADM Rogers was not part of the DOJ IG report because the IG had very limited jurisdiction to interview outside the DOJ.

#18 Garth, I wonder what the intelligence community IG might know. He seems to be part of the Deepstate and "O" regime.

#19 A very big rock has been turned over and suddenly long standing misbehavior is being exposed. The people whose careers and even freedom and being exposed have amongst them ruthlesswand dangerous people who exercise powerful systems in the Law Enforcement and intelligence are suddenly threatened. Some will flee, some will cower and a few might cause fireworks. Long overdue exposure of people who thought they were a protected elite.

#20 One must wonder if Steele's Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd was the 'contractor.'

When "contractors" accessing the NSA database was first revealed, speculation was Fusion GPS (think Nellie Ohr).

#21 More likely Steele if pre-2015. I don't believe Fusion GPS had yet been formed. IIRC Glenn "F---ing Hack That I Am" Simpson was still whoring writing for Politico at that time

#22 Ref #17: .....for those wondering, ADM Rogers was not part of the DOJ IG report because the IG had very limited jurisdiction to interview outside the DOJ.

ADM Rogers had a severe case of cooties. My guess is he would have likely been the very last person the IG would have interviewed.

#23 JohnQC

both the CIA and the office of the Director of National Intelligence have IGs

but their jurisdiction does not extend to departed officials, (e.g., Brennan, who was CIA chief and Clapper who was Director of Natl Intel) unless those officials volunteer to be interviewed
