NEW: Lisa Page, and James Comey Revelations Come to Light

It was on March 9, 2017, that then-FBI Director James Comey met with a group of congressional leaders, the “Gang of 8,” to inform them of the status of their counterintelligence investigation of President Donald Trump. He met initially with Senate leaders and after that with House leaders. Comey had with him a seven-page memo containing talking points that had actually been prepared the previous day by former FBI legal representative Lisa Page. Seven pages, it would later become known, of lies.

According to RealClearInvestigations’ Paul Sperry, the newly declassified memo and additional documents show that Comey “deceived the House, Senate and the Justice Department about the substance and strength of evidence” against Trump. Sperry reported that Page’s memo was “riddled with half-truths, outright falsehoods, and critical omissions” and that Comey’s “misrepresentations” triggered both the Senate and your home to open examinations of their own.

( Note: Sperry offers a screenshot of one page of the memo in his short article.)

Comey informed congressional leaders about reports the FBI had actually gotten in 2016 from a previous private human source (who ended up being Christopher Steele), which declared that previous Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and junior campaign advisor Carter Page had allegedly conspired with the Russian federal government to sway the election.

The informant, Comey described, “told the FBI that Manafort initially ‘managed’ the relationship between Russian government officials and the Trump campaign, using Carter Page as an intermediary.”

In addition, Comey told lawmakers that “[Carter] Page was reported to have had ‘secret meetings’ in early July 2016 with a named individual in Russia’s presidential administration during which they discussed Russia’s release of damaging information on Hillary Clinton in exchange for alterations to the GOP platform regarding U.S. policy towards Ukraine.”

By the time of these instructions, the FBI currently understood none of these accusations held true.

In the memo, [Lisa] Page recommended Comey that if pushed, he needs to inform legislators that “some” of the reporting “has been corroborated” and that the CHS’ “reporting in this matter is derived primarily from a Russian-based source.”

At that point, none of the reporting had actually been proven. And we’ve understood for a long period of time that none of it ever was substantiated. Both their CHS, Steele and Steele’s main sub-source, Igor Danchenko, were America-based.

Not just did Comey keep their identities from the Gang of 8, he did not notify them that Danchenko worked for Steele, that Steele was gathering dirt for the Clinton project or that Steele did not have “any sources inside the Kremlin.”

Danchenko was detained in November of 2021, for lying to the FBI throughout several interviews in 2017 about “where and how he got his information,” The Washington Post reported.

His was the 3rd indictment in unique counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s examination into Trump-Russia collusion. His trial is set to start on Oct. 11, according to Fox News.  Sperry kept in mind that Page’s memo was declassified as part of the pre-trial discovery procedure.

As pointed out previously, Comey did not recognize Steele or Danchenko by name to the legislators. He described Steele by the codename, “CROWN.” (As per screenshot.) Sperry explained that Steele had actually not worked for British Intelligence in years, however was most likely attempting to provide the impression that the  “dossier was a product of British intelligence.”

Nor did he inform Congress that the FBI had actually fired Steele after he dripped to the media. Sperry concluded: “Comey hid the truth about his star informant from the nation’s top lawmakers.”

The memo specified,“If asked about CROWN/Steele” by legislators, Comey was to tell them just that “CROWN, a former FBI CHS, is a former friendly foreign intelligence service employee who reported for about three years, and some of whose reporting has been corroborated.”

None of that held true.

At the same time, the FBI was sending the file in their renewal applications to the FISA court for warrants to spy on Carter Page.

Sperry reported that the previous FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former counterintelligence official Peter Strzok misled former acting Attorney General Dana Boente during a March 6, 2017, briefing by referring to Steele’s dossier as “CROWN source reporting” as Comey would do three days later.

Furthermore, Strzok informed Boente that he opened the examination after Trump hired Russia to discover Hillary Clinton’s erased e-mails. You might remember Trump’s ironic remark throughout a project occasion in July 2016. He stated, “Russia if you’re listening, I hope you are able to find the 30 thousand emails that are missing.”

The truth, Sperry composed, was this occurrence is not pointed out on the files submitted to open the case and Trump’s remark followed “Strzok stated the FBI determined probable cause.”

Strzok and McCabe informed Boente that  “the secret FISA monitoring of Page’s phone and emails was ‘fruitful.’” It was not.

On March 20, 2017, affirming prior to your home Intelligence Committee, Comey revealed the FBI had actually opened an examination to figure out if any members of the Trump project had actually conspired with the Russian federal government to assist win the election.

He stated: “The FBI, as part of our counter-intelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

His remarks set off a media craze around the previous president which reality be informed, has never ever actually stopped.
