4. Details of the classified “Steele Dossier” prepared by foreign spy Christopher Steele (MI6) are leaked to Buzzfeed News by Senator McCain associate.
5. Christopher Steele, author of Steele Dossier, had been hired by the DNC/Clinton Campaign to perform opposition research against Trump campaign during the 2016 election prior to Clinton’s defeat. The Steele research is based on Russian intelligence sources.
6. Using details of the Dossier, FBI petitioned the FISA court for a warrant against Trump campaign and volunteers to eavesdrop on phone calls and conduct other surveillance gathering techniques
FBI had serious concerns about the credibility of the Steele Dossier but had not disclosed credibility to the FISA court or the funding source of the Intel used to obtain the initial warrant. The FBI used unverified and non-credible source material in the Steele Dossier (believed to be part of Russian misinformation) yet continued surveillance and requested renewal at least 3 additional times. Among the evidence the FBI cited a Yahoo News article but failed to disclose the article’s source material being directly from the Steele Dossier.
Inspector General investigation later uncovers major violations and potential abuse of the FISA court by the FBI.
Inspector General investigation documents serious issues found in FBI investigation, FISA warrant attainment and 17 major mistakes discovered throughout the process.

7. General Flynn, the incoming National Security Advisor for the Trump administration, had communications incidentally intercepted by the NSA during a phone call with the Russian Ambassador to the US.
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allows spying of foreigners in national security matters, permitting eavesdropping and other techniques to gather intel. Instances where American citizens are on the other end of the gathered communication intel requires FISA court warrant order to “unmask” such Americans (as such communication is protected by the 4th Amendment.) Details of whom the citizen is and details of the communications are protected and confidential and the “unmasking” may be granted from the NSA to intelligence officials or other government officials. Details and identity of subject are considered highly classified.

Investigation discusses DNC attributing the server hack to location in Moscow, RU while also asserting that maleware and other servers were hosted in Arizona were deployed by Russia’s GRU. Despite use of VPN and servers having infiltrated from around the globe, report asserts Russian interference, citing the DNC as its source from page 42:
On June 14, 2016, the DNC and its cyber-response team announced the breach of the DNC network and suspected theft of DNC documents. In the statements, the cyber-response team alleged that Russian state-sponsored actors (which they referred to as “Fancy Bear”) were responsible for the breach.145 Apparently in response to that announcement, on June 15, 2016, GRU officers using the persona Guccifer 2.0 created a WordPress blog. In the hours leading up to the launch of that WordPress blog, GRU officers logged into a Moscow-based server used and managed by Unit 74455 and searched for a number of specific words and phrases in English, including “some hundred sheets,” “illuminati,” and “worldwide known.” Approximately two hours after the last of those searches, Guccifer 2.0 published its first post, attributing the DNC server hack to a lone Romanian hacker and using several of the unique English words and phrases that the GRU officers had searched for that day.146

COMMENTS —
Here is just a fraction of the timeline and some of the most important details and documents regarding the cover-up centered around false Russian misinformation being used by the FBI and the outgoing Obama administration to spy on and sabotage the incoming Trump administration. The Democrats, Obama Admin and FBI tried everything to attempt to overthrow Trump and ruin everyone around him.
ALL sources are from government documents, court filings and redacted/declassified materials. Media news reporting is also linked to support documents and time-line.
I’ve supported every claim with evidence for reference and used left-leaning sources among the major “credible” news outlets because I don’t want anyone to claim we’re citing biased pro-Trump media for sourcing.
Please feel free to add or let me know of any errors. I know I couldn’t have possibly covered anywhere near everything but I think this is a decent starting point.
My goal is to have a community source of reference to share with anyone (both left and right) to begin to explain how insane this corruption is and why we can’t POSSIBLY allow the Democrats to gain any more power going into the elections.
Breaking the Leftist-Hive-mind is nearly impossible but at least a compilation of links and sources they are comfortable with is a good place to start. If I convert just one Lefty or independent or at the very least discourage them from going to the polls to support the corrupt DNC, it was worth it. They tried to beat us by destroying Trump, we can’t let them do it at the ballot box with lies and more fraud and allowing the truth (which is complicated) to go unexplained. Any democrat gains in either the Senate or House is another opportunity for these people to end our movement.
