FBI official under investigation after allegedly altering document in 2016 Russia probe (DOJ IG Report thread) (1 Viewer)

Washington (CNN) —

An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser, several people briefed on the matter told CNN.

The possibility of a substantive change to an investigative document is likely to fuel accusations from President Donald Trump and his allies that the FBI committed wrongdoing in its investigation of connections between Russian election meddling and the Trump campaign.

The finding is expected to be part of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's review of the FBI's effort to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide. Horowitz will release the report next month.

Horowitz turned over evidence on the allegedly altered document to John Durham, the federal prosecutor appointed early this year by Attorney General William Barr to conduct a broad investigation of intelligence gathered for the Russia probe by the CIA and other agencies, including the FBI. The altered document is also at least one focus of Durham's criminal probe.

@SaintForLife mentioned in the other thread that "Mueller knew early on that there was no collusion"... I know him and @UncleTrvlingJim discussed it months back but I don't remember details.. SFL if you get a chance man could you cover that one real quick because I don't really remember why you believe that and I'm curious about it again but can't remember shirt LOL.

Pretty sure yes. Thank you.

I think I'm stuck at the same part I was when I read it back then.. I don't get why that means that Mueller knew there was no collusion that took place.

@SaintForLife
Reading back through the ensuing posts, I think we probably just fundamentally disagree on how we interpret it. UTJ's posts from back then basically reflect how I view it.

Here's the whole thread with a link to the report:

According to Mueller, the only time that Stone communicated with Wikileaks was when Wikileaks sent him a DM on Twitter telling him to stop making "false claims of association." Also according to Mueller, the only time Corsi or Credico communicated with Wikileaks is when Credico interviewed Assange on his radio show.

It's probably a good time to repost this:



New York Times article:

I remember the days when it was the Democrats who couldn't let go of the Russian collusion investigation go.

It's odd and funny how committed some partisans are to this counter-investigation story. As if it's really uncovering how unlawful and treasonous Obama was for spying on the Trump, the way he keeps suggesting . While there were obviously problems with some aspects of the Russian investigation that need to be corrected for future investigation (something I can easily admit). Acting like this was some huge conspiracy against Trump and his campaign by the deep state is still laughable. This investigation is landing with a big thud outside of Fox News and extremist republican circles.

It will impact absolutley zero votes this November, as the majority of people still rightly understand that the investigation was justified.

So did Mueller and the recent Senate report:

Like the investigation led by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who released his findings in April 2019, the Senate report did not conclude that the Trump campaign engaged in a coordinated conspiracy with the Russian government — a fact that Republicans seized on to argue that there was “no collusion.”

A nearly 1,000-page report confirmed the special counsel’s findings at a moment when President Trump’s allies have sought to undermine that inquiry.

You’re delusional. Mueller never said there was “no collusion”. Good lord. Remind me to just quit talking with you.

Since collusion isn't a legal term, with the Russia investigation collusion has meant conspiracy when discussed in the media right?

The part of the New York Times article I posted above said Mueller and the Senate didn't find evidence of a conspiracy.

SFL, here is a really great thread explaining the different purposes for the Mueller investigation versus the senate investigation. It’s a whole thread, and explains things very clearly, in an easy to understand manner. You will have to click on the link to see the whole thread. Just let me know if you need me to do screen shots instead.

I thought this was a joke when I read it. This was actually in the Senate report? Jesus Christ.

There are more letters. I just read one from 2013 he sent to Putin to invite him to be his guest of honor at the Miss Universe Pageant.
