Spygate: Inside Story

Comment:

This is a long read.

Interesting to note that Comey testified a week before he was fired that there was no pressure to end the collusion investigation.  There was no obstruction at that point, according to Comey.  McCabe took over the FBI, and also reported the same thing in testimony the following week.  Yet, it was said that McCabe opened an obstruction investigation after Comey was fired.  Doesn't add up.

Strzok didn't think there was any big thing there with respect to collusion.  This was about that time.  Strzok was on the Mueller team for awhile before being booted off of it.

Baker was racing the Admiral Rogers report on FISA 702 about queries noncompliance.  This was so that there would be no trouble getting the FISA warrant on Carter Page.  If he had mentioned an investigation of these issues, it may have made a difference to the court in granting the FISA warrant.

An impeachment trial in the Senate would face a lot of very strong headwinds for conviction.  Indeed, it would look really bad for impeachment advocates.
