Does ANYONE believe that these crooked ba$tard$ wouldn’t spy if they didn’t have a warrant??
As with all things political, there are details that get lost as new news and spin come to light. One is there was a credible charge that Obama-era intel cronies had a warm relationship with their British counterparts at GCHQ, the British equivalent of the NSA. It seems the Brits spied on Americans and vice versa to get around pesky rules that make it unlawful for a county to spy on its own people. So it shouldn’t be surprising that a Brit was used to create the dossier, even as there were numerous American “ex-spies” completely capable of creating the rubbish that became the dossier. Secondly, the dossier essentially is raw intel, the kind that the FBI collects when conducting due diligence on cabinet appointments. There is a very good law that prevents disclosure of such raw intel because it’s unverified. Go back to 1992 and remember that Hillary’s hatchet man was found with thousands of raw FBI files of political foes. Why would one need such information?
