As far back as at least 2014, some within the FBI were so convinced a foreign power was trying to interfere with a potential candidate for the 2016 presidential election that, among other things, they pressed then-FBI Director James Comey why the bureau hadn’t gotten a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant.
Memos show the FBI seemed to slow-walk the request.
Instead, those around the presidential candidate were given a so-called defensive briefing, in which they were informed of the nature of the threat and what they could do to protect themselves against it.
The foreign power is unknown, but the 2016 candidate is Hillary Clinton. The man who defeated her, Donald Trump, declassified the heavily redacted documents as he left office.
They show an FBI dealing with a foreign influence threat in a much different manner from its years-long excavation effort to find any link between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The documents, obtained by investigative reporter John Solomon’s Just the News, don’t offer any evidence that a FISA warrant was ever approved (or denied, for that matter). However, they’re not indicative of a bureau approaching the threat with alacrity.

Bombshell HARDLY... these blips are nothing more than scheduled distractions used to redirect the nation's attention from the almost hourly acts of criminal conduct taking place in our government.
The FBI and Federal Judiciary have already been totally discredited and are now a joke. Unless the media wants to announce indictments for the crimes we know occurred in the FISA warrant fiasco... we don't need to add more evidence and insult to the mountain of shame. Such news only infuriates and distracts the public from the newer pile of crap... promulgated in the criminal mind of our government.
Stop with the propaganda and indict the criminals... or shut up! We are tired of hearing bout the criminal conduct of our once hallowed institutions of law and order.
Who in their right thinking (mind) still "TRUSTS" The FBI, CIA, DOJ, even the Higher Up's of Military, 95% of Congress and 99.5% of All MEDIA-??? Have I left out anybody-???
No. That pretty much covers the problem. We the people no long govern. We the people are ruled by an oppressive, corrupt government.
Is there anyone we can trust other than DJT? Not many.
Sounds like treason or at minimum sedition, probably espionage, and obstruction of justice. I'd say anyone near this thing, having knowledge but doing nothing, and those involved directly all need PRISON TIME. Probably all of the upper 1/3rd of the FBI command structure needs to be fired and prosecuted.
