  • Carter Page

    In the unfolding controversy surrounding Carter Page, scrutinizes the legitimacy of the FISA warrant process. He highlights that the warrant for Page was approved only after he left the Trump campaign, raising questions about the narrative of Russian collusion 1. Bongino argues that the Democrats are in panic mode as the memo reveals the Obama administration's spying on Trump, using information funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign 2.

    The Democrats now know they're in trouble because who provided the dossier? Hillary Clinton's team and the Democrat national Committee.

    Papadopoulos Shift

    The shifting focus to George Papadopoulos is another attempt to redirect the narrative. Bongino points out the absurdity of blaming Papadopoulos for the investigation, given his low-level position and the delayed interview by the FBI 4. He questions the logic of starting a major investigation based on vague claims of Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton, which were already widely known 5.

    Narrative Collapse

    Bongino argues that the Democrats' conflicting narratives are collapsing under scrutiny. Initially, they claimed the memo was a national security threat, but later dismissed it as insignificant, exposing inconsistencies 6. He emphasizes the danger of using unsubstantiated claims to justify surveillance, warning of the implications for civil liberties 7.

    It's either a catastrophic breach of national security, or it's an absolute nothing burger.
