Nunes memo raises question: Did FBI violate Woods Procedures?
http://thehill.com/opinion/campaign...ses-question-did-fbi-violate-woods-procedures
There are strict rules requiring that each and every fact presented in an FBI request to electronically spy on a U.S. citizen be extreme-vetted for accuracy — and presented to the court only if verified.
There’s no dispute that at least some, if not a great deal, of information in the anti-Trump “Steele dossier” was unverified or false. Former FBI director James Comey testified as much himself before a Senate committee in June 2017. Comey repeatedly referred to “salacious” and “unverified” material in the dossier, which turned out to be paid political opposition research against Donald Trump funded first by Republicans, then by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Presentation of any such unverified material to the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to justify a wiretap would appear to violate crucial procedural rules, called “Woods Procedures,” designed to protect U.S. citizens.

You'd like sources and methods revealed to the Russians, wouldn't you.

LMAO... that is pretty fucking hilarious.
Remember The Democrats are the party that has saved the economy twice after republican presidents, driven down the deficits even had a surplus and our president got Osama Bin Laden.
We aren’t the party that had a president resign in disgrace.
We aren’t the party that’s last 2 presidents ended deeply unpopular with terrible economies.
We aren’t the party that ignored warnings about Bin Laden and planes.
We aren’t the party that started the Iraq war that led to tens of thousands of deaths.
We aren’t the party that was slow to help New Orleans or Puerto Rico.
We aren’t the party that consistently has increased budget deficits.
We aren’t the party that our former speaker served jail time.

Funny, because it illustrates the sad truth.
oh please WAPO and NYTime already made it clear Halper was the informant
Actually he's correct.. Justice Dept has always been independent.
it's free from presidential influence, but part of the executive (and the Deep State)
I believe there may be a LOT of truth to this story. What has occurred here is borderline Fascism by the Obama Administration during his watch much like the third world shit hole he was trying to turn us into.
Wrong; The OBAMA Administration is like The Keystone Cops ... they're too stupid to get away with anything without intelligent people finding out.
Deep state is a silly fiction.. just another lame conspiracy theory.
The people at justice are not particularly partisan.. They are all about doing their jobs.
Obama open mic slip: 'After my election I have more flexibility' to bend over for him.
power corrupts. Pretending people at the Justice department are not prone to human shortcomings shows how gullible and ignorant you truly are.
