Source: FISA Memo Says FBI Used Dossier To Spy On Trump Associate

The four-page memo written by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee contends that FBI officials used the unverified Steele dossier to obtain a secret warrant to spy on a Trump associate, according to a source with direct knowledge of the document.

The memo, based on information provided by the FBI and the Department of Justice, may be released Friday, if the White House approves of its publication. It asserts that the FBI used the dubious dossier to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Other Trump campaign associates were also spied on during the campaign.

The Daily Caller's source made clear that the dossier was used to procure a warrant even after it was clear that the document was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

The FBI, according to the memo, did not disclose information on the funding and origins of the dossier in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application submitted to a federal judge in September 2016.
Quote:

The memo will also make the claim that the FBI used at least one media report to corroborate the Fusion-produced document and convince the FISA court to grant the warrant to surveil Page, according to the source who has seen the document.

The source says that the memo names journalists and outlets who referenced the dossier before the 2016 election.

This is what we have all assumed. Like I said in another thread they have already set up three defenses for this.

Yup, I have a feeling CNN will do another 180 on their original report about it being used.

Trump not only likes Hannity, but they talk regularly. Hannity may be a hack, but he has the best source in the country.

Here is what I put on another thread


There are three different defenses that are currently happening.

1.). Dossier wasn't vital and the warrant would have been approved without the info.

2.). Steele has a great reputation and there was no reason to not believe what he wrote so that's why it was used.

3.). Steele got conned by Russian disinformation and it wasn't his or the FBI's fault.


None hold water but all are being run out right now.

Here's the problem with all three of those defenses...

The memo apparently also shows that, even after the FBI knew the true origins of the dossier, they STILL went ahead with the FISA...

You can't use false info in a FISA, no matter how benign you claim it is...

Andrew McCabe testified to the IC in closed session stating they would have never gotten the FISA warrant without the Dossier.

Memo states that the dossier was presented to the FISA judge using media reports to prop up the veracity and credibility of the Dossier

There is clear evidense that Steele briefed six media outlets of the contents to allow them to report in this favor

Once Steele and Fusion GPS was cut off from the FBI and access, they continued both thru Bruce Ohr via his wife Nellie

more to come.....

The House Intelligence Committee has released its controversial memo outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Trump-Russia investigation. Here are some key points:

* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the intial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.

* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

* DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.
Quote:

Finally, the memo released today does not represent the sum total of what House investigators have learned in their review of the FBI and Justice Department Trump-Russia investigation. That means the fight over the memo could be replayed in the future when the Intelligence Committee decides to release more information.

I think you are kind of right. Many on the left didn't believe that the warrant wouldn't include where the info came from. This is going to shock them.


The McCabe thing is HUGE.

Big point here:

Fusion paid journalists to print articles on the dossier.

FBI then used articles to "confirm" the dossier to the FISA court

Incredible.
