By Keith Griffith For Dailymail.com, 22 November 2019:
A criminal investigation has been opened into an FBI official suspected of ‘altering’ a document in the warrant application to surveil Trump campaign advisor Carter Page during the 2016 election, according to a new report.
Story continues below advertisementThe alleged document tampering was uncovered during Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s probe into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, and subsequently referred to U.S. Attorney John Durham for criminal investigation, CNN reported on Thursday.
In October 2016, the FBI sought and was granted a FISA warrant to surveil Page’s communications and access all of his stored emails and texts.
To obtain the warrant, the FBI had to convince a judge in a secret court that there was probable cause that Page was a foreign agent. The 90-day warrant was renewed three times, but Page has never been charged with any crime.

It’s unclear which FBI official is under criminal investigation for allegedly tampering with documents in the warrant application.
The names of the supervisory special agent or agents who submitted sworn statements to support the FISA application and renewals were redacted when the applications were publicly released.
Former FBI director James Comey signed off on the FBI evidence in the applications prior to being fired by President Donald Trump in May 2017.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe signed off on the subsequent renewals.
The alleged FBI document tampering is expected to be addressed in Horowitz’s IG report, which is undergoing final classification review.
In a letter sent on Thursday to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, Horowitz said he expected his office to be able to release the report on December 9 ‘barring unforeseen circumstances.’

Attorney General Bill Barr has pledged to make the report public with only the redactions needed to protect classified national security interests.
The report is expected to examine how closely the FBI stuck to the law and rules when it went to a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court beginning in 2016 to obtain authorization to conduct electronic monitoring of Page.
The report will also examine how British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s ‘dirty dossier’ became key FBI evidence.
The dossier, which was funded by Trump’s Democratic political opponents, was cited prominently in the FISA warrant application to surveil Page.
Steele’s dossier claimed that Page was a secret intermediary to the Russian government and had personally hatched the idea to leak stolen DNC emails during the Democrats’ nominating convention. Those claims have never been proven, and Page strenuously denies them.
Steele was questioned at length last summer by representatives of the Inspector General’s office in connection with the forthcoming report.

I remember when Trump made his America first patriotic comments at creepy Cardinal Dolan’s phony Al Smith dinner about accepting the results of the 2016 election if crooked Hillary won. The boos and cuss words aimed at Trump from the Deep state audience of fat cats which included midget Mike Bloomberg betrayed the bias of those in attendance. Hope the coup plotters get lots of prison time.

May the truth be known and the political heads roll. Maybe this will finally stop the madness and let Trump be free of the absurd attacks so he can get on with the work for the nation.

They are saying that the FBI search warrant was gained on an illegal warrant? So Carter should be released from any criminal prosecution now!

The lamestream media tried to gloss this over by saying the suspect was a “low-level” employee. Your ass! He was an attorney with a top level security clearance dealing with the highly sensitive matter of tampering with the constitutional liberties of a US citizen.
They also tried to pass off the whole incident by saying his revisions did not alter the nature of things. What, the whole damn warrant was lie from the outset? Judge for yourself.

At last, millions of Americans can see the reality of the Swamp and its protectors, the American version of the NKVD and Gestapo, who make up crimes and plant evidence to support the prosecution millions of innocent American. Sydney Powell, General Flynnn’s attorney and former DOJ prosecutor and insider, lays it out in her seminal expose “Licensed to Lie” , a must read for all who value liberty, and here they do the same against Trump and undoubtedly against Roger Stone. Often, the only criminal in courtroom are the DOJ prosecutors and their FBI (AKA NKVD) fabricators aided and abetted by a Swamp judge.
