his constitutional rights. they used the clinton bought and paid for russian lies to lie to you before the election to help hillary. then to spy on the trump campaign before and after the election. and launched this phoney witch hunt mueller probe to cover their own misdeeds after the president rightly fired comey. and rosenstein scheming to surveil the president and invoke the 25th amendment? the attorney general, mr. barr, it s up to you stand on the constitution, to stop this type of corruption. to reform this great agency that we all love. that s the fbi. not these guys. but you owe it to the rank-and-file. those guys that do the honest
it sounds that way. sean: you can fire comey for any reason. rod rosenste rod rosenstein he signed the last fisa application, the third and 4th one in total. we have mccabe, the ig-report said lied 5 times. do we believe mccabe or rosenstein because one is lying? absolutely. let s get back to the fisa warrant process. the only reason a warrant was should was because of the dossier. the dossier was prepared by a foreign agent and paid for by the democratic party. comey gave it to the president saying you need to know about this. that s the same document they used to give to the court and spared it was reliable.
the elected president to pursue their own self-serving agenda, to preserve the swamp in the deep state. now they are turning on each other. now they are panicking. they know they got caught. comey, rosenstein, andrew mccabe, sally yates all signed off on hillary clinton s fisa warrant application using hillary clinton s bought and paid for uncorroborated phoney russian research. and then lied to the american people to help hillary win, but they used it as the basis for it the fisa application, 4 times. they certified that phoney dossier was verified. it was never verified and they made false statements to a fisa court denying a fellow american
