Kash Patel Says FBI Lied to Obtain Warrants Used to Illegally Spy on Trump’s 2016 Presidential Campaign
FBI Director Kash Patel says the FBI lied to obtain surveillance warrants that were used to illegally spy on Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and his first term in office.
“It took me two years of my life to prove the following: that a political party in the United States of America, in the 21st century, would go overseas and hire some bogus intelligence asset to manufacture fraudulent, fake, unverified information,” Patel told Sean Hannity during Tuesday’s episode of Hang Out with Sean Hannity.
From there, the political party would then “funnel that to, not just the intelligence community, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then take those packaged lies that they had paid for with campaign finance funds and go into a secret surveillance court,” Patel continued, “and illegally spy on your opponent to be the next President of the United States.
“That took two years of my life,” Patel reiterated. “And what did we find out? The FISA court themselves came back and said these warrants were illegal, that the FBI did not provide evidence of exculpatory evidence and innocence, and that the FBI essentially lied in those applications.”
The FBI director went on to say that this was merely “step one,” adding, “I knew it didn’t stop there.” (Read more from “Kash Patel Says FBI Lied to Obtain Warrants Used to Illegally Spy on Trump’s 2016 Presidential Campaign” HERE)
