Get back to me when you can link to a copy of the FISA warrant application.

It has been released. Emoji, Emoji, Emoji.


Not a heavily redacted version that shows us only what has been reported in the newspapers. A version that shows exactly what the FBI presented to the judge.

Even in that, show me where in the redacted applications there is evidence that someone hired someone else to lie.

Possibly the only connection is the funding by Russian Oligarchs For Trump.

The guys behind this smear campaign are not the brightest bulbs in the lamp. From The Atlantic:

Surefire Intelligence was incorporated in Delaware less than three weeks ago, according to online records, and describes itself as “a private intel agency that designs and executes bespoke solutions for businesses and individuals who face complex business and litigation challenges.” Surefire’s domain records list an email for another pro-Trump conspiracy theorist, Jacob Wohl, who began hyping a “scandalous” Mueller story on Tuesday morning. Wohl told The Daily Beast that Burkman had hired Surefire to assist with his investigation into Mueller’s past, but denied knowing anything about the firm’s involvement in an alleged plot to fabricate allegations against Mueller when asked why his email address appeared in the domain records. He did not respond when asked by NBC why a telephone number listed on Surefire’s website referred callers to another number that’s listed in public records as belonging to Wohl’s mother.

Here's a really good or interesting breakout of the attempt to enlist people to smear Mueller:

https://np.reddit.com/r/politics/commen ... ?context=3

The tipster claimed Jack Burkman (who promoted the Seth Rich consipracy) is the one who made her the offer. Jack Burkman is a DC lobbyist closely tied to Trump's Deputy Campaign Manager, Rick Gates. He recently announced that he will reveal Robert Mueller's sex assault victims His foundation, the American Decency Association, gets its funding from the Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation, and their directors?... Erik Prince and Betsey DeVos.


eta from the link above:

So they started investigating... Burkman suggested his "intelligence" came from company called “Surefire Intelligence” run by a right-wing nut job named Jacob Wohl who's had run-ins with the law before Wohl denies denies and denies. He's never heard of Surefire Intelligence"! They point out DNS entries that tie it to his email. The Russians hacked me! They point out more obvious ties, and he keeps denying.

Then this gem: Wohl stopped responding to NBC News after being told Surefire’s official phone number redirects to his mother’s voicemail.

Mueller's coming...

Another Follow-up: OK this is just getting weirder and damned weirder. Surefire Intellegence website employees pictures are all stock photos, famous actors.

You joke, but this is the game we're playing now. All it takes is for a "credible" woman to be politicized enough to make an accusation and we're in a tricky spot again.

As the politician and their cronies turn ..... next up, Trump confesses he really likes his dog muffy .....

But if these allegations have any weight, bring them out. It seems a fitting way to end the Russia, Russia, Russia hysteria. What will Rachel Maddow do?
