The purpose of FISA warrant is to further investigate the raw intelligence.
You keep repeating this in an attempt to defend / justify the ILLEGAL FISA Court Abuses perpetrated by the FBI and Deputy US AG Rosenstein, whose signature in on at least one of the warrant renewal requests. Repeating it does NOT make it any less of a false / narrative / lie.
Deputy FBI Director McCabe testified that without the DOSSIER and its contents they would not have sought or gotten the warrants.
Bruce Ohr testified that the source - Steele - was a liar, a Trump-hater, had a political agenda to get this information out before the election and to have it used against Trump. This completely discredited Steel and thus anything he provided, to include the Dossier.
Bruce Ohr testified that he warned Weinstein, Clapper, Brennan, and Comey BEFORE the FISA Court abuses were perpetrated that the Dossier was unverified, that some of the contents had already been debunked, that Steele had made no effort to substantiate the contents, and that all of this made the Dossier, at the very least, unusable and definitely proved it could not be considered reliable.
Deputy Sect of State Kevalec informed the 4 BEFORE the FISA Court abuses that during an interview with Steele he had LIED to her about a Russian Govt HQ being in Florida and that there was no such thing, that Steele had exposed the fact that he had a political agenda against Trump, and that he wanted the information released before the election. THIS information meets the criteria for Steele to be considered unreliable / untrustworthy.
In his testimony under oath before Congress Weinstein attempted to lecture Republicans on Warrants, FISA Court requests, and the critical importance that everything being submitted is true / verified. He stated that when submitting such a request to the FISA Court EVERYTHING SUBMITTED MUST BE SUBSTANTIATED, VERIFIED, 100% FACTUAL& TRUE. He stated that these words are printed at the top of each request form and that any one who did otherwise, who knowingly violated this, must face legal repercussions.
EVIDENCE NOW SHOWS:
- The Dossier was authored by Russians and is now believed to be Counter-Intelligence propaganda provided to Steele who sold it to Hillary and provided it to Obama's Agency Directors for use to against Trump / affect the election ...WHICH IT WAS
- Steele refused to substantiate / support anything in the Document
- Both Kevalec and Ohr told the 4 in advance Steele did not meet the criteria of an objective / reliable / trustworthy source of information (which the FBI already knew because they fired Steele for lying to them bout disclosing information to the media)
- Both Kevalec and Ohr told the 4 the Dossier contents were NOT verified, had NOT been substantiated, parts had been debunked already, and thus the information was UNRELIABLE and UNUSABLE...
So everything Weinstein lectured the Republicans / Congress about when he smugly testified under oath, HE VIOLATED - HE AND THE FBI - TO KNOWNGLY ENGAGE IN FIAS COURT ABUSES.
Weinstein signed his name to the FISA Court application, which falsely / illegally presented Dossier contents as 'LEGITIMATE INTELLIGENCE' that had been collected, KNOWING it was NOT.
The law specifically states that OMISSION of information / evidence during the submission of the warrant request to the FISA Court is also a crime...and they did that as well.
So your continued parroting of the claim the Dossier's contents was 'RAW INTELLIGENCE' is a proven / debunked lie.
