Election eve stunner: FBI gains warrant to pursue Donald Trump over his ties to Russia
By Bill Palmer

Just eight hours before the first polls are set to open on Election Day in the United States, one of the two Presidential candidates is suddenly facing an FBI warrant for alleged criminal activities – and no, it’s not Hillary Clinton. One day after she was fully cleared by the Director of FBI of any wrongdoing (for the second time), it turns out the bureau is now moving on Donald Trump over his apparently illegal connections to the Russian government and other Russian entities.

It turns out the FISA warrant in question was granted back in October, but as has been his pattern, FBI Director James Comey made a point of keeping that information secret – even as he tried and failed to air Hillary Clinton’s ultimately non-existent dirty laundry. The FBI in particular is using the warrant to pursue Donald Trump’s private server, which computer scientists have determined is for secret direct communication with the largest bank in Russia.

13. We've known about the discovery of Trump's secret email server for some time now.

That has been confirmed, and we know that the DNC hack was run from a server in Russia, that is also in evidence. Putin knows if these two computers were connected in Russia. We don't have access to their log files.

FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ Covering Trump Camp’s Ties To Russia

Long time since I’ve blogged here. Or done anything here. But I thought this maybe merited some attention. The site itself is conservative, mostly full of crap, but the author is a reliable #NeverTrump type. Day late and dollar short. Make of it what you will.

This link is cited:

EXCLUSIVE: FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ Covering Trump Camp’s Ties To Russia

Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.

Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses related to the server. The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank. While the Times story speaks of metadata, sources suggest that a FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons.

The FBI agents who talked to the New York Times, and rubbished the ground-breaking stories of Slate ( Franklin Foer) and Mother Jones (David Corn) may not have known about the FISA warrant, sources say, because the counter-intelligence and criminal sides of the FBI often work independently of each other employing the principle of ‘compartmentalization’.

17. K& very interesting...

[pinboy3niner]

20. That link is Heat Street, which so far is the ONLY source for this. nt

[cwydro]

25. Yup.

No one wants to believe it might not be true.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Why didn't Comey announce this or send a letter?

[mercuryblues]

21. This will not be reported

on by the media. It is after all election season and they would not want to sway the election now, would they.

[beachbum bob]

26. this is still sounding like breitbart crap...until a newsworthy organization speaks to it

[Panich52]

30. Breitbart is pro-Trump. Why would they air own 'dirty laundry'?

Esp when they might be incld in the investigation.
