Specifically how was it misrepresented? We don't because a whole lot of stuff was left out.
Internal Justice documents showed the Department was skeptical about the Steele dossier but that was not presented to the Court. The application for a warrant is presented to the Court under oath, so withholding relevant information from the Court amounts to perjury. That's why we need a special commission to investigate the FBI/Justice to see just how high up this corruption goes.
Pay special attention to these dates:
FACT # 1. The Dossier file wasn't handed over to the FBI until, January,
2017
FACT # 2. In the last sentance of the Nunes memo, it states: "That the Russian investigation started in July,
2016 and that the center of attention was George Papadopolous. George Papadoplous came out of nowhere, and his name is NOT mentioned anywhere in the Dossier File. He has pleaded guilty, and is now working with Robert Mueller.
FACT # 3. Carter Page--most recent FISA warrant. September
2016--however one was issued on him in 2013 also.
The release of Nunes memo--
confirms that the FBI was investigating Russian collusion long before they ever received the DOSSIER file. It also confirms that the information contained in the Dossier file about Carter Page is CORRECT.

Now if I were Rod Rosenstein and had a bunch of House Republicans calling me to help them FABRICATE conspiracy stories I would have not just threatened them with Obstruction of Justice, I would have gone down there and kicked their ass's.
