If and when the FISA applications against Carter Page and others in the Trump campaign and transition team are declassified by a vengeful Trump, then we'll know

If and when the FISA applications against Carter Page and others in the Trump campaign and transition team are declassified by a vengeful Trump, then we'll know whether the Obama administration weaponized the DOJ and FBI against their political opponents or not. After the declassification, let's discuss about whether there is a failing "deep state" or not. Are you curious to know how many months into the 18-month Russian collusion investigation that Special Counsel Mueller knew the pee dossier, partly paid for by the HRC campaign, was an incontrovertible fake? Did Mueller know before or after the midterm elections? Whether you're curious or not, we're going to learn the truth soon. And that truth could be very painful, especially for deep state actors.

I don't know why it's relevant when Mueller knew some claims against Trump were fake. He was supposed to thoroughly investigate the issues around it. He wasn't supposed to just go until he found one or more issues not supported by facts. Because there can be some allegations that are true, and some that aren't.

  It's relevant if it can be proven there were political motivations in holding those findings until after the midterm elections. It's very relevant if Mueller was aware right at the start of the investigation that the dossier could not be corroborated. It's already been revealed that the FBI wouldn't have sought the FISA without the dossier. It's also been revealed that the FBI had not corroborated any of the dossier prior to filing the FISA application, nor before any of the monthly renewals. What's been revealed so far is sketchy, but maybe it will all work out okay for Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein et al. At this point I'm betting Trump is still going to hit back 10x harder. People think Trump is a joke so they write him off, but he's incredibly powerful given the office. I just assume revenge is coming since Trump is who he is.
