Page 341: In August 2016, the FBI used a briefing with the Trump campaign as an opportunity to gather potentially relevant investigative information about Michael Flynn, a member of the Trump campaign at the time. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

Page 361: MAJOR FISA abuse. IG identified "numerous serious factual errors and omissions in the applications ... that undercut certain allegations in the FISA applications." They knowingly used bad information to surveil American citizens in the Trump campaign. Wow. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

Some top takeaways: 1) FBI heavily abused the FISA process. Presented false info and withheld exculpatory info from the court. 2) FBI used 'defensive briefings' to investigate Trump campaign officials 3) FBI relied on knowingly dubious sources for anti-Trump information — PolitiTweet.org

If you see someone harping on the "bias" point, they are giving you a broad, misapplied talking point to distract from the specifics within the IG report that are damning. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

For starters, the "no bias" talking point you see is misdirection from the left. See this line, from the IG: "Our role in this review was not to second-guess discretionary judgments by Department personnel about whether to open an investigation" — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

THREAD: You will probably see plenty of spin and headlines today claiming the FBI is exonerated in this report. That is laughable, to put it lightly. The report eviscerates senior officials who broke rules and abused power. Let's go over some of the details. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

Wow... page 341. IG says FBI used an Aug. 2016 'defensive briefing' with the Trump campaign as an "opportunity to gather potentially relevant investigative information” about Michael Flynn They used defensive briefings for their investigation into the Trump campaign Wow — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

You won't see this in headlines, because it proves EXACTLY what we've been saying. FBI used knowingly false and dubious information in a FISA as an excuse to surveil American citizens in the Trump campaign. And kept using the same bad info in renewals! Stunning abuse of power. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

Predictably, some media allies of Democrats spinning hard. This is what the investigation was about, pg 361: IG found "numerous serious factual errors and omissions in the FISA applications ... that undercut certain allegations in the applications." That, alone, is indefensible — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

BREAKING: IG report officially released. It reveals FBI "fell far short" in vetting accuracy of FISA applications, knowingly withheld exculpatory information, used 'defensive briefings' to secretly asses the Trump campaign, used known illegitimate sources, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

The spin begins. The public is about to see what these "performance failures" were. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

And after reading this, it's no wonder we've been seeing defensive leaks in the New York Times and CNN. And that the Democrats rushed to hold an impeachment hearing the same day. It's every bit as bad as advertised. And certainly worse than the media has been suggesting. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

I just got out of a nearly 2 hour briefing on the IG report. It is deeply disturbing. Some former FBI and DOJ officials are about to have some serious explaining to do. More details to come shortly. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

Steve Castor shredding the Democrat talking point and media red herring - that just because Russia interfered in our election doesn't mean Ukraine didn't ALSO attempt to do so. There is clear evidence some in Ukraine did too. The President's concerns were well founded. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

While Democrats hold another useless impeachment hearing, repeating evidence-free allegations... We’re about to see a report (with real evidence) detailing disturbing, significant FISA abuse on the part of former senior FBI and DOJ officials. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

Remarkably, as a key part of their case, Democrats just showed a video of Gordon Sondland saying there was a quid pro quo—leaving out the part where he later admitted he had no evidence "other than his assumption" If this is all they've got, you can wrap this up. It's ballgame. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

The first two witness testimonies the Democrats just cited in making their final case: Bill Taylor and Fiona Hill. Both of whom admitted they had no firsthand knowledge of the allegations against @realDonaldTrump. You can't make this up. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

When Chairman Nadler cited "undisputed facts," he actually listed a slew of unproven allegations. That's all they have at this point. List accusations, call them 'facts,' and hope people don't notice. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

This is part of a long-growing trend on the left of gaslighting anyone who dare challenge their talking points. It’s disturbing, wrong, and should be fully condemned. — PolitiTweet.org

Questions like this make the false assumption that @realDonaldTrump had political motives. That’s not accurate. It’s not supported by the evidence. This was about making sure we weren’t sending taxpayer funded aid to a corrupt nation. Exactly what POTUS promised to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Meadows @MarkMeadows

All the Democrats have are unproven allegations. Here are the facts: - Call text shows zero link between aid/political investigations - Aid was released with no new investigations - Ukraine didn’t know aid was withheld during the call - Trump/Zelensky both say: zero pressure — PolitiTweet.org
