The unverified dossier alleging connections between President Trump’s campaign and the Russians was used as evidence by the FBI to gain approval from a secret court to monitor members of Trump’s team, this reporter has learned.
A large portion of the evidence presented in the salacious 35-page dossier put together by former British spy Christopher Steele, has either been proven wrong or remains unsubstantiated. However, the FBI gained approval nevertheless to surveil members of Trump’s campaign and “it’s outrageous and clearly should be thoroughly investigated,” said a senior law enforcement source, with knowledge of the process.
Multiple sources told this reporter that the dossier was used along with other evidence to obtain the warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as FISC. The sources also stressed that there will be more information in the coming week regarding systemic “FISA abuse.”
“(The dossier) certainly played a role in obtaining the warrant,” added another senior U.S. official, with knowledge of the dossier. “Congress needs to look at the FBI officials who were handling this case and see what, if anything, was verified in the dossier. I think an important question is whether the FBI payed anything to the source for the dossier.”
On Wednesday, Sean Hannity said he has also independently confirmed that the dossier was used to obtain the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant from three separate sources.
ne very senior source said the dossier played “a significant role” in obtaining the warrant Hannity said on his radio show Wednesday.
FBI officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

Sundance Belize that they did not even have a fisa warrant. Based on the evidence that he laid out, I agree. If this is true, it’s a whole new ballgame.

Better question: “Was there ever a FISA warrant?”
Next week, IG Horowitz’s report is due to be submitted. Jan. 15 is the target date.
Getting the cart before the horse.
Was there a warrant of any kind whatsoever? I’ve heard talk of one but nothing that proves one exists.
Thx. Bttt
It was reported this week that Nunes received the FISA applications from the DOJ.
Amen. And he has recused himself so the next in line is Rod Rosenstein who is up to his neck in the caper...he is sweating bullets.. and protecting Mueller, their only defense at this point. Despicable.
MAGA by cleaning out the criminals.
“Until Sessions acts, nothing will happen to these criminals. That is the real crime.”
The Hon. AG Jeff Sessions has held the position for less than a single year.
It’s going to be so pleasing as the series of dominoes begin to fall one after another and all Americans can fully appreciate the right way of building complex cases in the biggest corruption scandal in US history. QUIETLY!
Then we can talk about AG Jeff Sessions properly: as a candidate for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“No charges. No indictments.”
The good news is 2018 will be a year where this repeated voicing will be one among others we won’t have to suffer anymore.”
So good.

Free Republic turns on a dime

>> the dossier played “a significant role” in obtaining the warrant
Corruption of the worst kind. Is this not a form of sedition?
>> Free Republic turns on a dime
Yeah, don’t like that lack of equanimity.
The truly frightening part of this is roughly half the country is completely comfortable with the kenyan using federal government to assault his political opponents.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is a result of the creation of a Liberal Fascist movement in America, laws no longer matter, they are optional.
Its well described here:

Many people should be going to jail over this.>>>>>>>>>>

The question begs is how far back did the weaponization of branches of Gov't by the Obama-Admin go?, Not so much against politician's right away, but against us. My guess somewhere in 2009 when he got his sea legs..
