No, they did not disclose that the dossier was paid for by Clinton. If they did, please show me proof.
What You Need To Know About The Much-Discussed Carter Page FISA Document
A. The FISA warrant was no dependent on the Steele Dossier. The Dossier was merely corroborative evidence.
B. The Judge relied on Steele's sterling reputation and past dealings in such matters
C. Is not unusual at all to accept "Individual 1" as a source given the above
IC Lesh, IC. Do you know you can NOT pass your credibility to someone else? Or maybe, you are that dumb to believe you can.
What do I mean?
Well, lets suppose that I have massive credibility with the FBI, and I proclaim-------------------> I seen Lesh rob a bank, went in with a gun, came out with a bag of the banks money. Boom, you are in deep trouble, yes!
But now, lets change it------------------> FBI says I have a sterling reputation, and I said that Lesh robbed a bank, the whole time knowing that I never seen it, and I got the information from Easy-)
In essence, they are using MY REPUTATION to secure a warrant with evidence, that they know damn well I have NO DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF!
That is exactly why your whole synopsis is off the rails, Steele had no direct knowledge of anything.
And where did he get his information?
From RUSSIANS, lol.
LESH, listen to what it is your are actually saying for just a minute------------> Steele's evidence was used to prove cause for a FISA warrant, and the evidence used came from the Russians.
Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds?
