The IG Report: Chapter 12 - Conclusions & Recommendations; Narrated By Adam Baldwin Dec 21, 2019

Show notes

In the final chapter of the report Inspector General Michael Horowitz's makes his recommendations to prevent a reoccurrence of the FBI misconduct that was uncovered in the Crossfire Hurricane/Russia investigation. If you've listened to this report with us, you'll see how Crossfire Hurricane was an unprecedented and apparently politically motivated investigation that violated the rights of private citizens. It also revealed how the FBI infiltrated a political campaign during an election as senior FBI agents wrote about stopping a candidate from being elected. Do Horowitz's recommendations have the teeth needed to prevent a repeat of what happened? Even the Inspector General admits that, "current Department and FBI policies are not sufficient to ensure appropriate oversight and accountability. . ."

This is the most compelling chapter. It lays out in shocking detail all the malfeasance of the Deep State.

The IG Report: Chapter 10 - The Use Of Confidential Sources & Undercover Agents; Narrated By Adam Baldwin Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

In Chapter 10, we learn about the FBI's use of Confidential Human Sources (CHSs). The report found that, while the Crossfire Hurricane team did not place any CHSs or UCEs (Undercover Employees) in the Trump 2016 campaign, several of their CHSs and UCEs frequently interacted with three Trump campaign officials, allowing them to penetrate and monitor a political campaign. Also, we find out that the Supervisory Special Agent (SSA 1) in charge of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation gave an FBI briefing to candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the campaign cycle without disclosing his position within the investigation. He used the briefing as an intelligence gathering exercise on the candidate Trump and the Trump campaign.

The IG Report: Chapter 9 - Bruce Ohr's relationship with Steele Exposed; Narrated By Adam Baldwin Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

In Chapter 9 we learn how Bruce Ohr a former Associate Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice maintained secret communications with Christopher Steele after Steele was fired as an FBI source. We also learn that Ohr's wife worked for Fusion GPS who commissioned Christopher Steele to create the Steele Dossier which contained the fake information that allowed the FBI to monitor and secretly record members of the Trump election team during the campaign. It is also revealed that Bruce Ohr also had an an ongoing relationship with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. According to Steele, he and Ohr also discussed Steele's concerns about a potential Trump victory. Chapter 9 also reveals how Ohr downplayed his connections with Steele when he was talking to Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General - who said he was "shocked" when the full details emerged.

The IG Report: Chapter 8 - Misstatements, Omissions & Errors In The FISA Application; Narrated by Adam Baldwin Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

Chapter 8 reveals that the Inspector General found 17 "omissions and errors" made by the FBI as they applied for FISA warrants to wiretap and monitor Trump campaign worker Carter Page. The FBI's "errors" even included fraudulently altering documents! Additionally, this chapter reveals additional holes in the Steele Dossier. In fact, FBI interviews with Steele and his sources showed serious discrepancies between his reporting and the statements of his sources but these discrepancies were hidden from the FISA court. Don't miss this pivotal chapter of the Inspector General's Report!

The IG Report: Chapter 7 - Renewal Applications For FISA Authorization; Narrated By Adam Baldwin Dec 15, 2019

Show notes

After the first application for a FISA warrant before the 2016 election, the FBI applied three times for a renewal of the warrant that allowed them to wiretap and monitor Trump campaign worker Carter Page. Throughout the process, the FBI made over seventeen errors, mistakes, and omissions. What is so incredible about this entire process is the FBI's willingness to push for the renewals even though the IG report found they were "inaccurate, incomplete and unsupported by appropriate documentation." Also the FBI withheld evidence that would have shown Carter Page was innocent. These applications allowed the FBI to spy on Trump campaign staff and the Trump campaign. Had the applications been filled out honestly and correctly, it is likely that the FBI would have never been granted the ability to carry out this surveillance.

The IG Report: Chapter 6 - FBI Activities with Steele Post FISA Application; Narrated by Adam Baldwin Dec 14, 2019

Show notes

In this chapter, we learn that Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous "Steele Dossier," was fired as a source by the FBI because he leaked his bogus anti-Trump reports to the ultra-left Mother Jones. We see how the Steele Dossier was elevated to the highest levels in the FBI and how senior FBI agents found his reporting was not corroborated but failed to pass the information to the FISA court when seeking warrants to surveil Trump campaign workers. We hear how the FBI learned Steele misrepresented what his sources told him and about verification of the salacious stories. However the FBI also failed to tell the FISA court this important information when using the dossiers for applying for a renewal of the FISA applications.

The IG Report: Chapter 5 - The First Application For FISA Authority On Carter Page; Narrated by Adam Baldwin Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

In this chapter we learn how the infamous "Steele Dossier" was used to apply for a FISA warrant to investigate Trump campaign worker Carter Page. In earlier chapters we learned that the Steele Dossier was a politically motivated report funded by the Democratic Party and contained second hand unverified information. Chapter five reveals the first FISA application was "inaccurate, incomplete" and filled with "undocumented" information. This deception meant the FISA application was granted and allowed the FBI to spy on Carter Page and the Trump campaign before the election.

The IG Report: Chapter 4 - The FBI's Evaluation Of Information From Steele Prior To The FISA Applications; Narrated by Adam Baldwin Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

This chapter examines the FBI's relationship with Christopher Steele. Steele is the author of the infamous "Steele Dossier" the FBI used to get the warrants to monitor and secretly record Trump campaign workers and the Trump campaign. He was hired by the Democratic Party through the firm Fusion GPS. Chapter 4 reveals how Steele told the Inspector General it was created by "single source" reporting and "uncorroborated intelligence." Steele also tells the Office of the Inspector General that the ultimate client of the report was the Clinton presidential campaign and that Hillary Clinton was aware of the project. We hope you enjoy the 4th chapter of this important report.
