FBI kept using Steele dossier for FISA renewals despite ‘extreme bias’
NY Post ^ | 8/09/19 | Gregg Re, Catherine Herridge

The FBI formally documented the apparent anti-Trump bias of British ex-spy Christopher Steele shortly after the November 2016 presidential election — yet despite the red flags, continued to use his unverified dossier in multiple Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court warrant application renewals, records obtained by Fox News show.

It is a little like someone telling the same joke, with the same punchline. Over and over and over.

This will be very easy to dodge. Bad guys win again. Now the refrain will be , “We need to really examine the FISA process and tighten it up”. Move along now.

Were the FISA judges WILLING PARTICIPANTS in the FISA FRAUD or were they TOO AFRAID to deny the FBI'S FISA requests?

HOW MANY OF THE FISA JUDGES EVER VISITED EPSTEIN'S ISLAND?

Why are the FISA judges so silent knowing they were scammed? It’s always bothered me.

Our beloved USA seems to have been overrun by the Peter Principle. At the very LEAST they were COMPLETE idiots. But that would be giving them way too much credit. They were COMPLETE COUPE CONSPIRATORS, counting on the Peter Principle subjects below them to smile and say “yes sir” every time, to everything. Please, dear God in Heaven, PLEASR let us witness your vengeance on this group of miscreants. I’m

The GOP would rather use this scandal as a 2020 election campaign weapon. Nothing wrong with that. But where is the criminal justice too?
