Here’s something that should surprise no one, especially in retrospect, but Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham on Monday released a newly declassified transcript of an interview of former Trump adviser George Papadopolous that showed “no evidence of coordination” between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Today Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC released an additional declassified transcript of George Papadopoulos and FBI confidential human source, declassified on April 24, 2020.

Graham also sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking for records showing who in FBI leadership knew the sub-source for the Christopher Steele dossier fell apart … before the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

(There’s another one of those unbiased CNN chyrons we enjoy so much.)
they tried the dossier as reason for start of investigation , then tried to blame it on georgep/downer conversation (which never made sense when there was a 6 month gap before georgep was interviewed.. all proving to be untrue… surely there has to be a consequence for this?

Sorry about the sloppy spelling , after reading that stuff , my head is about to explode. I have written many warrants in my lifetime, all you put in is the facts of the crime. You don’t put in hearsay, news reports, assumptions. These warrants are filled with fluff, no facts!

I read it, please do, it's a very long read of three people getting food and drinks.
If the FBI didn't already look bad enough…

So was there a FISA issued after this convo? If so, who initiated, concurred, and ultimately approved the warrant.

We want names!

And Mueller knew this?

This shows that they had absolutely zero basis for surveillance of Papadopoulos. Absolutely disgusting… SMH

We must have a full accounting and hold those who pushed this false narrative to overturn a legal duly elected President. This is Treason and must be treated as such by DOJ. #KAG

How is it possible for the media to constantly get away with saying "the FBI didn't spy on Trump's campaign"? It's pretty clear that they did.

MEDIA: “But…muh narrative!”

Americans will be very upset if no @FBI agents go to prison.

This is a stain on our country. What a massive hoax this all was.
I don't care if you like Trump or not. This should concern everyone both Republican or Democrat. Trump supporter or Trump hater.
This is unacceptable and dangerous.
