A top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday that the memo his party released this weekend regarding alleged abuses in the federal government’s Russia investigation proves the so-called Steele dossier was only part of the evidence used to get a critical, court-approved surveillance warrant, disputing Republicans’ argument about the importance of the document.
The memo released Saturday is essentially a rebuttal to the one by Republicans on the GOP-controlled committee that argues the FBI and Justice Department relied on the loosely-vetted dossier to get the warrant on onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
“The application to warrant Carter Page was not based on the Steele dossier,” Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee, told “Fox News Sunday.” “The dossier was just a small part of the application.”
The memo was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and was financed in part by the Democratic National Committee and the 2016 presidential campaign of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who was competing against Donald Trump for the White House.

If they had such good evidence then how come they did not learn anything useful?
“loosely-vetted”? lol
Seems like the opening to the header is a contradiction in terms. No?
Now..Funny

I’m sure Dem ThinkTanks are working OT to come up with more ‘small parts’.. Soros is a slavedriver yaknow.
They are taking their cue from Shifty Shiff for brains memo.
So “proof” is them saying something that’s directly contradicted by the sworn testimony of McCabe?? A very strange definition of the word proof.
It should have been zero part of the FISA application. In fact as recently as a few months ago they would laugh at us and deny it was used at all.
Well little Jimmy can say what he wants.... McCabe under oath said they could not have gotten the FISA warrant without it
Seems like the opening to the header is a contradiction in terms. No?
= = = = = = = = = = =
Democrat & Intelligence in same PARAGRAPH is an oxymoron. When Side by side it is just compounded oxymora
Never mind that, out of 35,000 FISA warrant applications, only 8 have ever been denied.
And this one was one of those 8
Until the “dossier” was included
oops. 11 have been denied.
Doesn’t change much
All the documents should be in the application filing to the court.
Trot ‘em out and let’s have a look.
Lies.....all lies.
Gota suckup to Hillary 24/7....or else
What criminal, dishonest buffoons these DIMs are. Pathetic “leaders”.
Dims are desperately trying to get Republicans to focus on the unimportant aspect.
The most important thing is whether everything in the dossier was verified or not.
If it wasn’t, then the warrant is invalid and all the evidence they obtained from it must be withdrawn. Boom!
The dossier was “only a small part”. The majority of the evidence was CNN fake news reports.
