Identity of the Carter Page FISA Judge Revealed

WASHINGTON — Judge Rudolph Contreras was responsible for issuing the FISA Warrant to wiretap former Trump Campaign Foreign Policy Adviser Carter Page, according to two sources familiar with the material that underlies the Memo published by the House Intelligence Committee on Friday.

Contreras was appointed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) by Chief Justice John Roberts in the midst of the 2016 election, being sworn-in on May 19, 2016. He would go on to issue authorization to spy on Carter Page after receiving an application from the FBI, who purported to believe that Carter Page could be acting as an agent of the Russian Government. The FISA Court has received more than 34,000 applications to spy on Americans since its founding in 1978, turning down only 12 applications in that time, or just .0312%.

Judge Contreras has a long career with the Department of Justice, taking his first job as an Assistant US Attorney in 1994. His term on the FISA Court expires on May 18, 2023.

If Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA)’s memo is to be believed, then it would seem that the FBI submitted a FISA Application to spy on Carter Page with serious material omissions, including the source of funding for the Steele Dossier and that Christopher Steele said that he was “Passionate about Donald Trump not becoming President”. Contreras may have acted perfectly ethically when he approved the FISA Warrant to electronically monitor and record Carter Page.

Judge Contreras also oversaw the case in which Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI. On December 7th Judge Contreras recused himself from the Michael Flynn Case. A spokeswoman for the the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia Lisa Klem did not say why Contreras was recused, adding that the case was randomly reassigned.

On Thursday the Mueller team successfully sought a rescheduling of the Flynn sentencing. “The parties shall file a joint status report by no later than May 1, 2018, stating whether the matter should be scheduled for sentencing or whether a deadline should be set for filing another joint status report,” said a related order signed by the new Judge, Emmet G. Sullivan.

Mueller’s Office of the Special Counsel cited the “Status of the investigation” for their request to reschedule General Flynn’s sentencing, but declined to provide further details.

Hey Pasty White Dumbass......they DID NOT disclose the pertinent underlying facts that supported the FISA ( 702 )VII warrant.....and you have displayed your total ignorance on the subject....
If he had been told all the FACTS.....What would be the outcome at this present time ?
Huh Smart ass....Come on tell us.....!
And how would you be able to verify that data ?
Huh Smart Ass......Come on Tell us !
Explain to the Forum why Judge John Roberts removed him ....
Explain why Micheal Flynn is NOW asking the Court to DROP all charges due to the " Poisonous Tree " Concept.....
Explain why last week the Three Lawyers for Rick Gates promptly quit !
Explain why Paul Manafort is suing Robert Mueller and the case is in limbo !
You do NOT Know what your talking about......Fuckin regurgitating Idiot.
 
Now we know why Judge Contreras was removed !!!!!

He's Involved !

" The only reason I can imagine why Judge Contreras was recused – note: did not recuse himself – is that he was a member of the FISC, the court that grants surveillance warrants under FISA. As the evidence mounts that the warrant was improperly granted, someone – perhaps the chief judge of the district – removed him from further participation in the case, likely because Contreras approved the warrant and its extension. If the warrant was improperly issued, all the evidence it garnered is tainted. "

Sources: Podesta Group, Mercury Are Companies ‘A’ and ‘B’ in Indictment

WASHINGTON — The lobbying firms the Podesta Group and Mercury Public Affairs are the unnamed companies in the grand jury indictment of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, according to three sources with knowledge of the investigation.

The indictment, unsealed Monday, refers to "Company A" and "Company B" as the firms Manafort and Gates solicited in 2012 to lobby on behalf of the Ukranian government. Company A is Mercury Public Affairs and Company B is the Podesta Group, the sources said.

The revelation of the companies’ identities points to more details about the players involved in the high-stakes venture run by Manafort and Gates to push the interest of a pro-Russia Ukranian political party inside the United States. It also provides a glimpse into the material special counsel Robert Mueller has corroborated on both companies and the potential legal repercussions both groups could face.

Tony Podesta, who founded the left-leaning Podesta Group in 1988, stepped down from his position with the firm on Monday morning, an employee told NBC News.

NBC News reported last week that Podesta and the Podesta group had become a subject of Mueller’s probe into ties between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

Tony Podesta is the brother of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, who is not under investigation.

The Podesta Group previously withheld from disclosing its work under the Foreign Agents Registrant Act (FARA), claiming they believed the group was not affiliated with the Ukrainian government.

According to the indictment, the lobbying firms were paid $2 million from offshore accounts controlled by Manafort.

Their work included lobbying "multiple members of Congress and their staffs about Ukraine sanctions, the validity of Ukraine elections" that the reasons for imprisoning Yulia Tymoshenko, the political rival of Russian-backed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

The indictment also revealed that Gates told Company A, now known to be Mercury, in February 2012 that it would be "representing the Government of Ukraine in [Washington] D.C."

A spokeswoman for Mercury could not be reached for comment. A spokeswoman for the Podesta Group declined to comment.

Manafort and Gates attempted to distance themselves from the work of the lobbying firms after press reports in August 2016, according to the indictment.

What makes you sure it's two different posters?

I refer you to Phil Hendrie via Wikipedia and/or his own website for entertainment chicanery involving one person arguing as two or more people at odds with one another.
