“Obstruction of a deep-state cover-up not so much.”
So, you think the entire Russia investigation was a deep-state cover-up? Do you think the Russians interfered at all?
That is true, but again irrelevant to Russiagate. Trump was accused of being a willing conspirator.
Mueller essentially says Trump and his team were “willing conspirators.” He says they were aware of the Russian Government’s efforts and coordinated their campaign activities around what they knew.
Because that’s not what judges do. They’re not investigators. They sit in court, wait for people to bring them evidence and documents, and make people swear to their accuracy.
It’s Congress’s job to oversee the FISA courts. If people subverted them, Congress is supposed to ask to review the information again. Which is exactly what’s happening.
You don’t know how the FISA application process works. FISA Court judges do ask for materials to be brought before them again. Also, some Judges (retired Judge John Bates) do speak out:
“I will note and note with some force that I have seen nothing that indicates that the court was misled, that the Department of Justice or the intelligence community made misrepresentations to the court…[a]nd not only have I seen nothing that would indicate that, I have heard nothing that persuasively makes that case.”
Moreover, three different judges all heard the Carter Page facts and either granted or renewed the surveillance. Are all three in on the conspiracy? Do you think we landed on the moon?
