FBI officials had been warned by Asst.

The FBI has become a politicized law enforcement agency. Special Counsel [[Robert Mueller]] and lead prosecutor [[Andrew Weissmann]] instructed over 50 FBI agents to investigate a transparently non-existent Russian collusion conspiracy for over two years as part of a strategy to help Democrats win the [[2018 Midterm elections]].

Strzok edited out the language of the draft from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless." The original memo also stated that “we assess it is reasonably likely that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s private email account.” However, Comey's July 5 public statement read, “Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account.”

Senate Homeland Security chairman [[Ron Johnson]] stated, "The edits to Director Comey’s public statement,<ref>https://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screen-Shot-2017-12-14-at-3.59.10-PM-620x363.png</ref> made months prior to the conclusion of the FBI’s investigation of Secretary Clinton’s conduct, had a significant impact on the FBI’s public evaluation of the implications of her actions." Johnson stated the edits to Comey's statements “raise profound questions about the FBI’s role and possible interference in the 2016 presidential election and the role of the same agents in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of President Trump.”<ref>https://www.conservativeinstitute.org/government-corruption/comey-concluded-hillary-hacked.htm</ref>

Americans for Limited Government president Rick Manning called for Comey's firing: {{Quotebox|“The FBI’s incredible incompetence and outright complicity with the politicization of government spying removes the last shred of credibility that Director James Comey has and he needs to either resign or be fired. The failure to even secure and independently examine the DNC server while relying on the self-serving innuendo by the DNC’s computer consultant [[CrowdStrike]] for verification is unbelievable. But their reliance on an easily disprovable political hit piece dossier to get a FISA warrant against Carter Page, paid for by Democrat supporters of Hillary Clinton and produced by the private firm Fusion GPS, to attempt to undermine the Trump campaign in 2016 effort is inexcusable."<ref>http://getliberty.org/2017/04/alg-calls-on-fbi-director-james-comey-to-step-down-or-be-fired/#sthash.GlAIxCBf.dpuf</ref>}}

Mills asked about the private server in a Feb. 27, 2010 email to Abedin and an aide who helped set up the Chappaqua server. Mills and Abedin were also involved in an Aug. 30, 2011 exchange in which State Department official Stephen Mull mentioned that Clinton's “email server is down.” In a Jan. 9, 2011 email exchange, Cooper told Abedin that Clinton's server had been malfunctioning because “someone was trying to hack us.” “Had to shut down the server,” wrote Cooper, who told the FBI in his interviews that he discussed Clinton's server with Abedin in 2009, when it was being set up. Neither Mills or Abedin were recommended for prosecution by Strzok for lying to the FBI.

Strzok had given false and misleading information to the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Hillary Clinton's ''Steele dossier'' shortly after the election. House Intelligence Committee investigators were contacted by a [[Whistleblower Statutes|whistleblower]] suggesting that there was “documentary evidence” that Strzok was obstructing the House probe into the dossier.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/12/texts-between-ex-mueller-team-members-emerge-calling-trump-loathsome-human-idiot.html</ref> The ''Steele dossier'' had been used to obtain [[fruit of the poisonous tree]] evidence against [[National Security Advisor]] Mike Flynn. In January 2017 Strzok interviewed Flynn at the White House in what appears to be an [[entrapment]] sting using the falsified FISA evidence.<ref>https://www.hannity.com/content/2017-12-04-exclusive-fbi-supervisor-booted-from-mueller-probe-interviewed-mike-flynn/</ref> Flynn was later convicted of misleading Strzok, although Flynn later said he merely didn't recall minor details during the questioning. By midsummer the Inspector General (IG) reported on the existence of the Strzok-Page texts deemed prejudicial to the investigation. Special Counsel Robert Mueller finally fired Strzok from the [[Trump-Russia investigation]] for his blatantly anti-Trump texts. Strzok's cohort Lisa Page was fired a month later. After Flynn's conviction on a process charge the Judge who presided over former National Security Advisor [[Mike Flynn]]'s plea agreement abruptly recused himself from the sentencing phase when the FISA warrant abuses became more widely known. It was the same judge who heard the bogus FISA warrant requests based on Hillary Clinton's ''Steele dossier''.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-flynn/judge-presiding-over-michael-flynn-criminal-case-is-recused-court-idUSKBN1E202V</ref>

On October 31, 2016 ''[[New York Times]]'' published a story with the headline, ''Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link To Russia;''<ref>later FBI Director. James Comey, the name entrusted to investigate government leaks, admits to being an anonymous source for the ''New York Times''.

Line 239: Line 239:

The FBI agent who questioned National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in January 2017 was Peter Strzok. Strzok's personal friend, Judge Rudy Contreras, presided over Flynn's plea. Despite Contreras conflict of interest, Contreras did not recuse himself. Six days later, December 7, 2017, reports stated that Contreras “was recused” from the Flynn case.

−

Between Flynn's pleading on December 1 and Contreras' recusal on December 7, 2017 reports of gross malfeasance within the Dept. of Justice and FBI "went from a snowball to an avalanche". Peter Strzok was demoted, Lisa Page was removed, Bruce Ohr was twice demoted, Ohr's wife Nellie worked on the bogus ''Clinton-Steele dossier''; FBI Chief legal counsel James Baker was demoted; evidence of FBI Dep. Dir. Andy McCabe's involvement in a small group conspiracy was placed on terminal leave; FBI chief press officer [[Mike Kortan]] was outed among the conspirators and quit; McCabe's Chief of Staff James Rybicki was outed and quit; and Judge Contreras was removed from the sentencing phase after Flynn's guilty plea for allegedly lying to Strzok in an FBI interview.<ref>https://brassballs.blog/home/fisa-judge-rudy-contreras-was-removed-rather-than-recused-from-mike-flynn-case</ref>

Strzok originally stated in his interview report that Flynn did not lie; McCabe altered the report to imply Flynn did lie and turned it over to Special Counsel Robert Mueller for prosecution.<ref>http://investmentwatchblog.com/mccabe-altered-his-302-of-the-flynn-interview-and-deleted-all-history-of-revisions/</ref>

As head of FBI counterintelligence, Priestap would have to sign off on the use of FusionGPS (aka: Bean LLC, aka, Glenn Simpson), Crowdstrike, and/or any FBI contractor who was allowed access to, or received information from, the FBI database.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/22/fbi-shadow-figure-surfaces-to-protect-president-obama-amid-released-fbi-text-messages/</ref> Priestap would have needed to authorize Strzok to engage with Christopher Steele over the ''Steele dossier''. Priestap would have to approve the underlying documents that were used for both FISA applications (June/July and Sept/Oct). Priestap would be the person to approve of paying, or reimbursing, Christopher Steele for the ''Steele dossier'' used in the FBI counterintelligence operation and subsequent FISA application.

Line 261: Line 261:

It is highly likely Priestap has been cleared for any intentional wrongdoing and has no issues cooperating with the FBI's Inspection Division and Inspector General investigators. Because of the importance of his role, Priestap likely knows the full context of how the FISA Title-1 application against U.S. person [[Carter Page]] was assembled and used. Priestap is also mentioned in the Nunes FISA memo contradicting the claims of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, [[John Brennan]] and [[James Clapper]].

On June 5, 2018 Priestap testified in a closed door hearing to the joint House Judiciary and Oversight committee. Curiously, only Reps. [[Jim Jordan]] (R), [[Mark Meadows]] (R), and [[Raja Krishnamoorthi]] (D) were allowed to attend. Chairmen [[Trey Gowdy]] and [[Bob Goodlatte]] did not attend. Jim Jordan said, {{quotebox-float|"There was a number of times, I would say maybe four different times in that, where he would have the words, 'Peter Strzok' and 'expert' in the same sentence. It has kind of confirmed what I've suspected for a long time, that Strzok was a central figure in all of this — the Clinton investigation and the Russia investigation."<ref>https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/390908-house-gop-presses-top-fbi-official-on-strzoks-role-in-federal-probes</ref>}}
