Dan Bongino Discovers Critical New Information In Report That Directly Contradicts IG’s Conclusions

Bongino’s Analysis: They walk into McCabe’s office trying to get warrants to spy on Page and Papadopoulos, who they’ve been looking at for a long time. They don’t have the information, the probable cause, to get a warrant because neither one of these two did anything wrong…They double and triple down and look for an insurance policy. The insurance policy is the FFG tip, the friendly foreign government tip…Papadopoulos told Downer that there was a Russian offer of help to us…the us is important…the FBI interprets that to mean that Carter Page “is the most receptive to receive the offer of assistance from the Russians.” Carter Page has had interactions with Russians in the past, so he’s clearly receptive to Russian information. The reason Carter page had had contact with the Russians before that made him “the most receptive” was because he was working for the CIA on behalf of the U.S. government to nail these Russians to the wall…That was the insurance policy. The foreign government tip was the insurance policy to retroactively go back and make Carter Page look like a Russian agent even though he was a CIA asset.

If you reread the second paragraph from the passage above, the FBI agent emails his summary on Page to the OGC chief saying it provided a “pretty solid” to obtain a warrant to spy on Page. Amazing.

Bongino notes that this email was sent on the same day as the Page/Strzok text about the insurance policy.

Bongino: So, now we’re crystal clear. The insurance policy was the FBI knowingly lying and manipulating about Carter Page pretending he wasn’t an asset for the CIA, but an asset for the Russians. And manipulating emails to make a FISA judge believe what were benign, mundane contacts with Russians and some that were not benign, but were on behalf of a U.S. government mission were actually evidentiary data points that Carter Page was a U.S. spy worthy of spying on.
