January 18, 2018

To: HPSCI Majority Members

From: HPSCI Majority Staff

Subject: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Purpose

This memorandum provides Members an update on significant facts relating to the Committee’s ongoing investigation into the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and their use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) during the 2016 presidential election cycle. Our findings, which are detailed below, 1) raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain DOJ and FBI interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), and 2) represent a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process.

Investigation Update

On October 21, 2016, DOJ and FBI sought and received a FISA probable cause order (not under Title VII) authorizing electronic surveillance on Carter Page from the FISC. Page is a U.S. citizen who served as a volunteer advisor to the Trump presidential campaign. Consistent with requirements under FISA, the application had to be first certified by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI. It then required the approval of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General (DAG), or the Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division.

The FBI and DOJ obtained one initial FISA warrant targeting Carter Page and three FISA renewals from the FISC. As required by statute (50 U.S.C. §,1805(d)(l)), a FISA order on an American citizen must be renewed by the FISC every 90 days and each renewal requires a separate finding of probable cause. Then-Director James Comey signed three FISA applications in question on behalf of the FBI, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe signed one. Then-DAG Sally Yates, then-Acting DAG Dana Boente, and DAG Rod Rosenstein each signed one or more FISA applications on behalf of DOJ.

Due to the sensitive nature of foreign intelligence activity, FISA submissions (including renewals) before the FISC are classified. As such, the public’s confidence in the integrity of the FISA process depends on the court’s ability to hold the government to the highest standard—particularly as it relates to surveillance of American citizens. However, the FISC’s rigor in protecting the rights of Americans, which is reinforced by 90-day renewals of surveillance orders, is necessarily dependent on the government’s production to the court of all material and relevant facts. This should include information potentially favorable to the target of the FISA application that is known by the government. In the case of Carter Page, the government had at least four independent opportunities before the FISC to accurately provide an accounting of the relevant facts. However, our findings indicate that, as described below, material and relevant information was omitted.


1) The “dossier” compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research firm Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.

a) Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele’s efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior DOJ and FBI officials.

b) The initial FISA application notes Steele was working for a named U.S. person, but does not name Fusion GPS and principal Glenn Simpson, who was paid by a U.S. law firm (Perkins Coie) representing the DNC (even though it was known by DOJ at the time that political actors were involved with the Steele dossier). The application does not mention Steele was ultimately working on behalf of—and paid by—the DNC and Clinton campaign, or that the FBI had separately authorized payment to Steele for the same information.

2) The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016, Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page’s July 2016 trip to Moscow. This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News. The Page FISA application incorrectly assesses that Steele did not directly provide information to Yahoo News. Steele has admitted in British court filings that he met with Yahoo News—and several other outlets—in September 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS. Perkins Coie was aware of Steele’s initial media contacts because they hosted at least one meeting in Washington D.C. in 2016 with Steele and Fusion GPS where this matter was discussed.

a) Steele was suspended and then terminated as an FBI source for what the FBI defines as the most serious of violations—an unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI in an October 30, 2016, Mother Jones article by David Corn. Steele should have been terminated for his previous undisclosed contacts with Yahoo and other outlets in September—before the Page application was submitted to the FISC in October—but Steele improperly concealed from and lied to the FBI about those contacts.

b) Steele’s numerous encounters with the media violated the cardinal rule of source handling—maintaining confidentiality—and demonstrated that Steele had become a less than reliable source for the FBI.

3) Before and after Steele was terminated as a source, he maintained contact with DOJ via then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, a senior DOJ official who worked closely with Deputy Attorneys General Yates and later Rosenstein. Shortly after the election, the FBI began interviewing Ohr, documenting his communications with Steele. For example, in September 2016, Steele admitted to Ohr his feelings against then-candidate Trump when Steele said he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.” This clear evidence of Steele’s bias was recorded by Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files—but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications.


a) During this same time period, Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI with all of his wife’s opposition research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs’ relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicably concealed from the FISC.

4) According to the head of the FBI’s counterintelligence division, Assistant Director Bill Priestap, corroboration of the Steele dossier was in its “infancy” at the time of the initial Page FISA application. After Steele was terminated, a source validation report conducted by an independent unit within FBI assessed Steele’s reporting as only minimally corroborated. Yet, in early January 2017, Director Comey briefed President-elect Trump on a summary of the Steele dossier, even though it was—according to his June 2017 testimony—“salacious and unverified.” While the FISA application relied on Steele’s past record of credible reporting on other unrelated matters, it ignored or concealed his anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations. Furthermore, Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information.

5) The Page FISA application also mentions information regarding fellow Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, but there is no evidence of any cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos. The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok. Strzok was reassigned by the Special Counsel’s Office to FBI Human Resources for improper text messages with his mistress, FBI Attorney Lisa Page (no known relation to Carter Page), where they both demonstrated a clear bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton, whom Strzok had also investigated. The Strzok/Lisa Page texts also reflect extensive discussions about the investigation, orchestrating leaks to the media, and include a meeting with Deputy Director McCabe to discuss an “insurance” policy against President Trump’s election.

Out of the last 35,000 FISA applications only 12 have been refused.

The following single line defeats the whole premise of the memo...The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok.

Strzok, was also the one who ended up shafting Hilary Clinton just before the election, which also undercuts the memo's implications.

The entire episode is weird and ultimately the truth will come out in the end regarding Trump's treasonous (as Bannon said)  behaviour.

" 1) raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain DOJ and FBI interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), and 2) represent a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process."

this is in the first paragraph.

First, concerns about FISA being abused has been a concern of many for quite awhile, thank you Republicans for finally waking up to this. I know it's easy to ignore the abuses when they are going after those "terrorists" you all fear so much.  

the FISA courts are like grand jury's only for intelligence instead of indictments for state/local DA's

so thank you for finally paying attention.  

now maybe, and I know I'm wishing on a star here, maybe you all will start thinking about how that all trickles down to local police and government.

now with that aside

so, this whole thing is over the RENEWAL of a FISA warrant for Carter Page. Page himself admits to being a "deal maker" in Russia, so when he gets involved in an AMERICAN campaign for president, yeah, maybe if he contacts Russia we might want to know if there's any there there.  does that violate privacy rights, maybe, but you do it for terrorists to keep us safe, well, Russians aren't much better

A fairly long, but pretty accurate and well reasoned exposition of what the memo means, and who is liable to step in the dogshit.

Le's all keep in mind that we are talking about the FBI here. An institution with a pretty long and well documented history of abusing it's power at the expense of American citizens for political reasons.

"On various later occasions, high FBI officials purportedly admitted to the congressional inquirers both that the FISA requests would not have been made without use of the dossier, and yet its contents could not be verified or in fact were scarcely yet scrutinized."

this statement in the article is actually up for dispute and until we get the actual transcript of said inquiry, skepticism says to dismiss this


"Is this a Scandal?

If all this is not a scandal — then the following protocols are now considered permissible in American electoral practice and constitutional jurisprudence: An incumbent administration can freely use the FBI and the DOJ to favor one side in a presidential election, by buying its opposition research against the other candidate, using its own prestige to authenticate such a third-party oppositional dossier, and then using it to obtain court-ordered wiretaps on American citizens employed by a candidate’s campaign — and do so by deliberately misleading the court about the origins and authors of the dossier that was used to obtain the warrants."


no, not freely, but if the other side is meeting with FOREIGN governments, maybe FISA should check on that, you know for the sake of our NATIONAL SECURITY.  

the DNC and canidates bought the opposition research, NOT THE ADMINISTRATION

the origins of the dossier aren't really valid, as it alone wasn't used to justify the warrant, maybe it started it, but the FISA COURT approved the warrant, so they thought they had enough evidence to at least survey Page.  so until we see the WHOLE warrant, you have a republican political document in front of you. if you don't like that the FISA court based their decision on a democratic political document, then don't base your conclusions on an equally biased republican political bias.

the rest of the article is speculation and spin, and as it's an opinion piece, that's allowed, but yeah it's an OPINION

Quite right. I never said it was anything else. What is not opinion is whether or not the FBI  or some officials in the FBI, broke the law. The memo alleges that they did. The underlying documents will, or will not, bear that out. Until they see the light of day - if they ever do - everything said about the memo, here or anywhere else, is just  opinion. Speculation and spin in your words.

My opinion is that they are guilty as hell.

Quote:
The warrant authorizing the FBI to monitor the communications of former campaign adviser Carter Page was not a one-time request, but was approved by a judge on four occasions, the memo says, and even signed off on by the second-ranking official at the Justice Department, Rod Rosenstein, whom Trump appointed as deputy attorney general.


Quote:
the memo confirms the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign began in July 2016, months before the surveillance warrant was sought, and was "triggered" by information concerning campaign aide George Papadopoulos.


Quote:
The memo also omits that Page had been on the FBI's radar a few years earlier as part of a separate counterintelligence investigation into Russian influence.

The memo focuses on Page, but Democrats on the House committee said "this ignores the inconvenient fact that the investigation did not begin with, or arise from Christopher Steele or the dossier, and that the investigation would persist on the basis of wholly independent evidence had Christopher Steele never entered the picture."


Quote:
The warrant requested was renewed on three additional occasions, meaning that judges approved it four times. One of the Justice Department officials who signed off on it was Rosenstein, a Trump appointee.

hey dumb@ss, fear of the unknown, once known, oh hey, nothing to worry about

enough for ya or did that make your head hurt?  

the FBI and DOJ said the memo was dangerously misleading, so when people involved in national law enforcement say hey, this might not be a good idea....  then I think it's fair for us to take pause and consider their advice, now that it has been released, yeah I don't see too much to worry about, but the FBI and DOJ who have special insight into all of this might still see things to worry about. because they have a bigger more complete picture than me, and their counterparts across the world, also have a bigger more complete picture than me

In these kind of situations people tend to be fearful when they have something that they'd rather not be found out. Not complicated really. Human nature.

The louder the protestations of innocence, the longer they go on and the more arcane they become, the more likely it is that those doing the protesting are guilty.

Prisons are plumb full of of people that "didn't do it"  Just ask 'em.

This NYT piece captures the salient points of the memo.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/03/opinion/memo-nunes-trump-obstruction.html

In addition, the timeline set forth in the memo indicates that the FISA warrants were submitted by both the Obama and Trump administrations. The initial surveillance began before Mr. Rosenstein was deputy attorney general, and by the time he was at the Justice Department, he approved renewal applications that were based on the intelligence gathered from the earlier surveillance — not the dossier.

Also the three judges who approved the renewal of the FISA order to surveil Page, (meaning that each time they had to be convinced that the previous renewal bore useful information) were all Republican appointees.

LoL nice work guys this memo really holds no weight and just comfirms that Carter Page was in fact a Russian agent that was hired by the trump admin and the FBI legally obtained FISA warrants.

Also it's funny how repubs wanted FISA so bad but now all of the sudden they are "concerned" over intelligence surveillance abuses.

@ruckus430

It's pretty clear that this memo is a precursor to sacking Rosenstein to install a flunky who'll sack Mueller III. However they won't get away with it. Trump is clearly f.ucked so he may as well try to burn the house down, it can't get any worse for him.

No, I understand perfectly - you see old, the first line in the cartoon is a lie.  They didn't "pay a spy to fake a dossier".  That's problem number one with your little cartoon.

Problem number 2 - it's not "their" investigation, it's the FBI.  Any idea what the reporting structure is of the FBI?  (hint - it ain't the dnc or hillary...)

What will eventually become obvious

The DNC paid steel
He, using his Spy Guy history as Bonafides, leaked information to the FBI,
Got them paying attention
Got THEM to carry the lies To the court, because the DNC would not be credible, and the FBI said nothing about who was paying for the lies and how unverified they were to the judge. Steel quietly leaked information to six media outlets, and then USED their reporting to lend credibility To the dossier.
But, I'm nearly always Wrong so, just remember I said this so you can point it out later.

But, I'm nearly always Wrong so, just remember I said this so you can point it out later.



and?  

also you claim that they are lies, but you don't really have any evidence that they are lies, just like I don't have any evidence that they are true.

you're working off of half truths here.   We don't have the full FISA warrant, only what the proTrump republicans want us to see.  

so like I've said before, if you are all upset that the DNC biased dossier was used to get a survelliance warrant, then why are you so happy to have another biased document convince you of anything??  

oh, because you are a sucker, hook, line and sinker.

I analyze events and use historical facts to guide my best guess about what is happening.
My batting average is good enough to comfort me. I said what I believe will be the eventual outcome. I STATED months ago that the unverified dossier, that all you rabid lefties Said would keep Trump from winning, So WRONG, always Wrong,, I said that load of crap was used to help get the warrant.
I was RIGHT.

My post is My analysis based on what I've been seeing. I go lots of places and read. I also have a grasp of the level of angst over Trump being elected. You guys are not alone. The establishment HATES Trump, and the willingness to break laws and engage in unethical behavior to destroy him isn't limited to the lefties on the street. This is the beginnings of the spotlight shining on an attempted coup. I would say that based on my ability to see truths, regardless of political affiliation. Maybe you have missed my criticisms of Trump. Maybe you didn't see my criticisms of Bush.
I wonder how many people here would cheat at a game and Still be jubilant that they won.
You CAN'T cheat Aaand Win.

There's nowhere I know of where anyone is saying what I said.

Yeah, because cartoons are the answer.....

Nice work of fiction though.  Anything that makes you feel better I guess.[/quote]

Well, I have to hand it to you . You have a real knack for totally missing the point. Do you even know where the Quotation in the cartoon comes from ?

Nevermind.
[/quote]

No, I understand perfectly - you see old, the first line in the cartoon is a lie.  They didn't "pay a spy to fake a dossier".  That's problem number one with your little cartoon.

Problem number 2 - it's not "their" investigation, it's the FBI.  Any idea what the reporting structure is of the FBI?  (hint - it ain't the dnc or hillary...)
[/quote]

If the Nunes memo is accurate, and I suspect that it mostly is, then the first line of the cartoon describes exactly what happened, Read it again.

The rest of the cartoon sets out a likely scenario of where this whole debacle might possibly be headed.That's the point that I think you are missing. Just because it happens to be a cartoon doesn't mean it isn't addressing a serious issue.

 Anything that makes you feel better I guess.


I didn't post it because it makes me feel better. There is nothing about this whole sorry spectacle that makes me feel 'better" about any of it.

You didn't answer my question about the dialogue in the cartoon that is in quotes. Most of what has a yellow background. The source of that quotation should be a clue to what the cartoon is trying to convey.

If you're serious about wanting to find out what's what then you should check out the lawfare podcast I linked to earlier, it's a straightforward non partisan analysis by lawyers who have actually worked on the FISA courts and know how the who procedure works. It's the best you'll get till the process is over.

I can't take notes and don't want to forget, so.

A point was made that the memo suggests that the judge was left in the dark regarding who funded the research.

At the same time the memo failed to inform the reader of something, I'll have to go back unless someone got that.

One thing they're talking about is the verification of the information.
I'm not seeing anyone stand up and say what parts of the information that was used to get a warrant has been verified.

here's a Vox article that kinda breaks it down:

https://www.vox.com/2018/1/5/16845704/steele-dossier-russia-trump

this is the key takeaway for me:
"The most one can really say has been confirmed about the Steele dossier is that a) there was in fact a Russian effort to help Trump, and b) the Trump camp clearly knew more about it than they said publicly. Given those conclusions, it’s certainly possible that the other stuff Steele alleges is also true, but virtually none of the particulars have been verified."

still waiting to see here.

from Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), whose partisan credentials are unimpeachable — he led the Benghazi inquisition — and who was dispatched by Nunes to review all the classified intelligence used to obtain the Page warrant.

“There is a Russia investigation without a dossier,” he said Sunday. “The dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower. The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos’s meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn’t have anything to do with obstruction of justice.”

donald has f.ucked himself bigly. Not that that's really news, or surprising. He must have decided to burn the house down because what is going to be revealed by the FBI investigation is obviously a problem.

Some more clarity about Steele as a 'source' from a former intelligence insider...

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/02/05/christopher-steele-dossier-smearing-216940

A professional intelligence service understands that all sources have individual biases. Being biased is hardly a disqualifier. If it were, we would have a tough time finding sources in most countries around the world. It is the job of a handling service to understand a source’s bias, perspective, access, motivations and reliability. It is standard stuff.

Steele isn't a referee, he's a player, the FISA JUDGE is the referee, and NOTHING IN THE MEMO SAYS SH!T about how the judge interpreted or took the information in the dossier or what other information the JUDGE used to make his/her call.

You really need to acknowledge that you're basing your opinion on an entirely partisan interpretation with selected out of context points. You should read the article I linked to which is from an intel insider.

Will be fascinating to see how Trump reacts now that he's the one who decides if the Democrat's memo is published. He's darned if he does and darned if he doesn't seeing as his own party wants it released. I'm betting he won't release it because he's just interested in burning down the house.
