I believe the Steele dossier. It had little to do with FiSA warrant on Page.
McCabe said under oath that without the Steele Dossier there would have been no FISA application on Carter Page.
IG Report: No FISA Warrant On Carter Page Without Steele Dossier
Thanks for playing. Please stop lying all the time, and put up links to prove your assertions.
Also, the Steele Dossier has been proven to be totally bogus.
Morning! Merry Christmas!
True, sort of....
The FBI tried two times to get a FISA on Page before they were given the Dossier.
The FBI legal counsel turned down their requests, because with the evidence they had, the lawyers that oversee the FISA process for the FBI did not believe the FBI had enough evidence to get the FISA approved by the FISC.
So, the FBI had their eye on Page for a month or two, before they finally got the approval to apply to FISC for the FISA. They had interest in Page, BEFORE they even had the dossier to add to their previous evidence, and finally get the FISA go ahead approval. (IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, that the Dossier is NOT what drew their attention towards Page, he was on their radar, prior to even having the dossier)
The dossier was NOT the ONLY evidence they had for the FISA request, but it was additional evidence that put the request over the top, for evidence needed to get their legal counsel's approval to apply to the FISC.
They would NOT have gotten the APPROVAL FROM THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL for Page's surveillance if they ONLY had the dossier for the application either.... the dossier alone, ALSO would not have gotten legal counsel approval to move over FISC.
It was the dossier, ADDED to their other evidence which they had accumulated earlier, COMBINED, that got the legal counsel go ahead.
