Officially, the investigation into Trump/Russia collusion named “Crossfire Hurricane” did not begin until July 31st of 2016. But text has been released that refers to inserting spies into the Trump Campaign as early as December 28th of 2015!
Sara Carter is reporting that the DOJ reneged on a promise to hand over documents to Congress early Thursday morning. According to Carter, the DOJ has said they will only meet with the Gang of Eight, and likely during the Trump/North Korea summit. The documents are related to the IG investigation, and the fear is that this gives DOJ officials time to pressure the IG to make changes to the report and that DOJ officials will heavily redact the information contained in the story. The DOJ is again playing games and attempting to hide information while also hoping to bury it because it will (they wish) be lost in the news cycle on the Trump/North Korea summit. To this writer, what is really frustrating is this: why is Congress not demanding these documents be handed over? After all, Congress does legally have oversight of the DOJ!
(The Olive) On Monday the Senate released 500 pages of documents that contain among other things un-redacted texts between disgraced FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that the FBI had previously published. The difference is that the FBI redacted certain words in these texts using national security as the excuse for the redactions. We now know the FBI lied about said reasoning.
Is anyone surprised?
Within a particular Strzok/Page text, the word “lures” was redacted. The word “lures” in FBI lingo refers to spies. CYA is the only reason to redact this word. The FBI KNEW that if this information came out, they would be busted for running an illegal operation against Trump and his campaign staff. (source)
According to Kevin Brock, former Assistant Director of FBI Counter-Intelligence, tasking a source without a formal investigation in place first is a legal violation.
1) BOMBSHELL- From DECEMBER 2015–The word LURES is redacted by FBI but not OIG
“OCONUS LURES”
OCONUS= Outside Contiguous US
LURES= In this context LURES = SPIES – multiple
Is this an admission that the FBI wanted to run a baited Sting Op using foreign agents against Trump? pic.twitter.com/OtLxlOEGsV

2) Kevin Brock (FMR ASST DIR OF COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE FBI)
“If the FBI opened a Source or tasked a Source to gather information particulary from a US person, before opening a formal investigation, then that would be a violation of the guidelines.”
Looks like we have a VIOLATION pic.twitter.com/k3yLenf1wh
