An interesting little footnote from the Mueller report
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...ith-different-and-lower-standard-of-evidence/
The report stated:
The investigation did not, however, yield evidence sufficient to sustain any charge that any individual affiliated with the Trump Campaign acted as an agent of a foreign principal within the meaning of FARA or, in terms of Section 951, subject to the direction or control of the government of Russia, or any official thereof. In particular, the Office did not find evidence likely to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Campaign officials such as Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Carter Page acted as agents of the Russian Government – or at its direction control, or request-during the relevant time period.
On four occasions, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) issued warrants based on a finding of probable cause to believe that Page was an agent of a foreign power. 50 U.S.C. §§ 1801 (b), 1805(a)(2)(A). The FISC’s probable-cause finding was based on a different (and lower) standard than the one governing the Office’s decision whether to bring charges against Page, which is whether admissible evidence would likely be sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Page acted as an agent of the Russian Federation during the period at issue. Cf United States v. Cardoza, 713 F.3d 656, 660 (D.C. Cir. 2013) (explaining that probable cause requires only “a fair probability,” and not “certainty, or proof beyond a reasonable doubt, or proof by a preponderance of the evidence”).
I don't think the left wants Mueller having to answer questions about things like this.
Or I don't think they want him to have to answer questions about when he knew there was no collusion between President Trump and Russia and why he didn't close up shop sooner?
Remember, Carter Page NEVER had charges brought against him. The criteria for getting a FISA warrant are a pretty high bar to clear and it would appear that boy scout James Comey didn't do that when he deployed the US intelligence agencies on private citizens of the United States
What did Obama know and when did he know it? Was Comey going rogue? Was he launching an investigation into a rival party's political campaign and not briefing the President of the United States, who at the time was one B. Hussein Obama?
