What a tangled web we weave … yadda yadda yadda.

As Democrats in Congress continue to throw temper tantrums about the Mueller report, acting as if Barr is holding off on releasing it because of a cover-up instead of legal requirements, bits and pieces of what happened with the ‘Deep State’ are starting to come out and wow.

Sean Davis wrote a short yet infuriating thread about the FISA application against Carter Page … did we already say wow because wow.

Take a gander.

Did the FBI/DOJ use information provided by Fusion GPS employee and DOJ spouse Nellie Ohr in its FISA application against Carter Page? https://t.co/WQUVIrrbbY — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) April 8, 2019

From The Federalist:

During his testimony, Bruce also confirmed that his wife Nellie worked for Fusion GPS—the firm that had hired Steele to collect opposition research on Trump for the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton. The DOJ attorney also revealed that after the FBI launched an investigation into the Trump campaign, his wife handed him a flash drive consisting of the Trump-Russia research she had compiled for Fusion GPS. Bruce passed Nellie’s opposition-funded research on to the FBI. How the FBI used Nellie’s research is unclear, but a close examination of Nellie’s congressional testimony, the Steele dossier, and the FISA applications raises the real possibility that the FBI used Nellie’s work product to obtain a court order to surveil Page.

Told you.

He went on.

Nellie Ohr testified to Congress that she did "open source research" against Trump for Fusion GPS and that her research "independently" confirmed that Page went to Moscow for a speech in July of 2016. Now look at the FISA application verbiage (and the footnote) on that visit. pic.twitter.com/3zIQuMZNXX — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) April 8, 2019

We see an awful lot of black boxes.

Just sayin’.

According to the FISA application itself, Page's speech trip to Moscow was confirmed via "open source information" (i.e., Google). Page's speech was highly publicized and even live-streamed! So why is the Google-based foonote for that assertion redacted? https://t.co/WQUVIrrbbY pic.twitter.com/zKkjCs6rzl — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) April 8, 2019

Someone’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Likely because it identifies Nellie Ohr by name, and it's one of those "embarrassing" details that the Bureau was trying to cover up when it first began to slow-walk the FISA paperwork out to Congress. The notations next to it are the FOIA redaction justification categories. — shipwreckedcrew (@shipwreckedcrew) April 8, 2019

We won’t even pretend we have any idea what this means but it sounds important so here we are.

Why was Nellie invited to the Steele breakfast meeting? Why did the thumb drive she provided not get chain of custody documentation? — Joseph Bevilacqua (@joebev49) April 8, 2019

Equivocal testimony, meet unequivocal FISA application. Dang, this is disturbing for our country. Is anyone else wondering if this was the first election/time? And if this leverage (Chuck Schumer’s 7 ways from Sunday) has infected every branch and institution of the US/world? — MAGAnificenTruly (@MAGAnificently) April 8, 2019

This is some crazy stuff, yup.

Why even bother posing these questions? The MSM controls what the vast majority of Americans consume in journalism. The MSM is intent on burying what went wrong. They WILL be outraged, however, if anything remotely similar happens to the Left. — Kevin Farrell (@KevinFarrell) April 8, 2019

Which is why we have to do our best to cover it.

This is gonna be interesting, folks.
