Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told Just the News that his team has been scouring recent do ents released by the FBI, including witness reports known as 302s, and found glaring evidence that contradicts claims the Mueller team made to courts and Congress.

"We're now going through these 302s, and we're going to be making criminal referrals on the Mueller dossier team, the people that put this Mueller report together," Nunes said during an interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast set to air on Tuesday.

Russian Election Trolling Becoming Subtler, Tougher To Detect

A cache of Instagram posts captured by researchers showed that the Russians were "better at impersonating candidates" and that influence-mongers "have moved away from creating their own fake advocacy groups to mimicking and appropriating the names of actual American groups,"

identified 32 Instagram accounts they said appeared to be linked to Russia's now-infamous Internet Research Agency, of which 31 later were confirmed to be IRA-linked by an analysis commissioned by Facebook, which owns Instagram.

interference activity endures at a steady state.

the efforts targeting the 2020 vote continue many of the trends exhibited earlier.

Russian influence operations are aimed at sowing chaos and amplifying division as much as bringing about a specific political result

the intent to divide them or convince them not to vote,

"The IRA is well-versed enough in the history and culture of our politics to exploit sharp political divisions already existing in our society," Kim wrote.

"American nationalism/patriotism, immigration, gun control and LGBT issues were the top five issues frequently discussed in the IRA's campaigns."

Veterans, working-class whites in rural areas and nonwhites, "especially African Americans," also were especially targeted,

Flynn did not plead guilty to being an agent of Russia nor was he charged with it so there was nothing to exonerate.

Lack of candor does not equal misleading. Misleading implies unequivocally stating a false position. Lack of candor implies the opposite, an omission that could be considered dishonest.

I'll save you the followup question: "how are they any different?"

The difference is that omissions can be voluntary or involuntary, so it's much more difficult to prove there was dishonest intent. That's why the IG, while it concluded that the procedure itself was questionable because there were omissions and requires adjustments to deal with such such situations, didn't actually conclude that there was provable dishonesty from the actual involved parties.

On the other hand, if you're accused of misleading, it means you affirmatively lied to the court. Hope the distinction is clear enough.

Provable dishonesty

However, when the OGC Attorney subsequently sent the liaison's email to SSA 2 the OGC Attorney altered the liaison's email by inserting the words "not a source" into it, thus making it appear that the liaison had said that Page was "not a source" for the other agency.

Except that's the description of one of the items he found out about, not the conclusion. The conclusion reads (page 376):

We also found the quan y of omissions and inaccuracies in the applications and the obvious errors in the Woods Procedures deeply concerning. Although we did not find do entary or testimonial evidence of intentional misconduct on the part of the case agents who assisted 01 in preparing the applications, or the agents and supervisors who performed the Woods Procedures, we also did not receive satisfactory explanations for the errors or missing information.

Except the IG did conclude there was provable dishonesty as I just pointed out concerning the altering of the email.
