FISA may only be used to spy on American Citizen if there is verified corroborated evidence that American is spying for a foreign power. The corrupt Obama Administration lied to the FISA court in order to get 4 successive warrants to spy on Page and with the 3 hop rule, the entire Trump campaign.The October 19th 2016 date refers to FISA application on Carter Page.How could the dossier be used to help Hillary when nobody knew about the dossier during the campaign?The Kremlin was the subject of much of the dossier.
But yes, its certainly likely that the Kremlin fed some misinformation to Steele, yet the bulk of it remains corroborated.
"..., yet the bulk of it remains corroborated."
Another lie I will shred:
"After 18 months of steely-eyed investigation, the only parts of the dossier that have been "confirmed" are bland factual statements -- Moscow is a city in Russia -- while the untrue parts are anything having to do with Trump or his associates.
As New York Times national security reporter Matthew Rosenberg explained to MSNBC's easily excited Chris Hayes last March:
"Both journalists and others who had copies of it for a long time have not been able to report much of it out. We've heard that, you know, the FBI and the Intelligence Community believe about 30 percent of it may be accurate, but most of that 30 percent, if not all, has been non-Trump stuff."
February 7, 2018 - CARTER PAGE: AGENT 000
“Not one claim concerning Trump in the Steele Dossier has ever been verified by the FBI, according to Andrew McCabe himself in recent testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. The only confirmed fact is unsurprising: former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page traveled to Moscow on his own dime and met with various Russians—all perfectly legal.
Comey and then-CIA Director John Brennan laundered the Steele Dossier through the U.S. intelligence community to give it an aura of credibility and get it to the press. It was also used by the FBI and senior DOJ officials to secure wiretap warrants from a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court. Then its contents, via court-authorized FISA warrants, were used to justify the illegal unmasking of the identities of wiretapped Trump officials.”
The Politicization of the FBI
“Agents did not believe that either the source or Mr. Steele was deliberately inventing things, according to the former official. How the dossier ended up loaded with dubious or exaggerated details remains uncertain, but the document may be the result of a high-stakes game of telephone, in which rumors and hearsay were passed from source to source.” Mueller Report Likely to Renew Scrutiny of Steele Dossier
The purpose was to
a. sink Trump
b. elect Hillary
c. influence morons like you.
I used to think you dopes were playing dumb......
The dossier was issued on Oct. 19, 2016, according to reporting this week from The Post.
We do know one element contained in it. The Post first reported on the warrant (known as a FISA warrant, short for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) in April. "
Analysis | What we know about the warrant to surveil Carter Page
"...in April 2016, Marc Elias — a top Democratic campaign lawyer — retained Fusion GPS through his firm of Perkins Coie on behalf of both Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Perkins Coie, at Elias’s behest and with the bills ultimately paid by Clinton and the DNC, continued to fund Fusion’s work through the end of October 2016, though the people involved say that neither the campaign nor the DNC was aware of the details of Fusion’s work."
Steele’s dossier circulated in the media during the fall of 2016..."
The Steele dossier on Trump and Russia, explained
Clearly, the dossier is contemporary with the Left/FBI attack on Trump associates.
Who was the dossier aimed AGAINST, you moron?????
This (as always) is done in secret and isn't publicly known.
The dossier was only made public after Trump assumed office, by buzzfeed. About a month after Trump was swornin.
"...the memo states that then-deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, quote, testified before the committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISA court without the Steele dossier information? Democrats say he never said that, did he?
NUNES: Yes. I mean, it’s a summation of a long interview. And that is definitely what he said. Not to mention, we have other witnesses who said very similar things. So, the fact of the matter is, the main things that were used to go out and get this warrant was the dossier and the story that corroborated the dossier.
Nunes on Memo: This Is About FBI Using Oppo Research To Get FISA Warrant On Trump Campaign
3. Even when the story blew up:
"FBI Director James Comey has been caught going around to secret Congressional briefings in “recent weeks” touting the lurid fake “Trump dossier.” He has been claiming that it is a major foundation of the FBI’s investigation of purported Russian collusion with Trump to interfere in the election—months after theFBI had already assessed the “dossier” as non-credible."
The Final Truth about the “Trump Dossier”
"Each FISA application — the original one in October 2016, and the three renewals at 90-day intervals — is labeled "VERIFIED APPLICATION" (bold caps in original). And each one makes this breathtaking representation:
'The FBI has reviewed this verified application for accuracy in accordance with its April 5, 2001 procedures, which include sending a copy of the draft to the appropriate field office(s).'
In reality, the applications were never verified for accuracy."
McCarthy concludes that the FBI was "at best, being hyper-technical, and thus misleading."
So, after all the spinning, these are the undisputed facts: The FBI went to court to get a wiretap on a U.S. citizen it claimed was a Russian agent. It based this charge mainly on an uncorroborated, salacious document financed by the Clinton campaign. It failed to clearly disclose the funding source. Nor did it reveal that it had independently corroborated any of its claims."
At Best, The FISA Application Shows FBI Misled The Court To Wiretap Trump Campaign
Why are you afraid to answer this query?
Who was the dossier aimed AGAINST, you moron?????
Barr and Durham are getting to the very bottom of this, which is why Dems are losing their minds and trying to push this sure loser impeachment farce.
