The FBI continued to tell judges that dossier writer Christopher Steele wasn’t the source of a news article the bureau used to corroborate a wiretap application when in fact Mr. Steele had publicly acknowledged that he fed the anti-Trump story.
This chronology is contained in four heavily censored Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications obtained by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act.
The documents also show that the FBI relied as evidence on mainstream media stories that were critical of the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
The FBI submitted the warrants for surveillance on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page from October 2016 to September 2017. The FBI told surveillance court judges that Mr. Page was an illegal foreign agent of Russia. Mr. Page has repeatedly denied this and has not been charged.
The applications are heavily redacted. The FBI’s central piece of evidence in the unredacted parts is the dossier compiled by Mr. Steele, a former British spy hired by Fusion GPS with money from the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. In other words, the FBI was relying on partisan opposition research to target Mr. Page for a year of intrusive phone and electronic intercepts.
Mr. Steele’s dossier made several charges against Mr. Page.

Deep State Media...DSM
There is nothing main stream about it.
I wasn’t a Q-ite, but July did end up being the month we learned the truth. Here’s hoping for more fireworks.
A bit off topic: If Russia is so bad why did Hillary/Obama approve the sale of our uranium to RUSSIA?
FBI is trying to cover their butts, but it ain’t working.
Meanwhile demoncrats and Rino’s continue to say there’s no o evidence the state spied on Trump’s campaign
And Mr. Page has been charged with what?
"After all we did for her, that lousy Hillary lost. "How’m I gonna get out of the mess I’m in?"
I know, we say its Russian collusion…….....lie like crazy that Trump did it.”
Or even Ann, but Merry Wives of DC is perhaps a *bit* of a stretch at this point.
"Send me a cool indictment-time, Mueller, else I shall not fail to piss my tallow" and all that. (But Bill makes a better Sir John Falstaff than Hillary.)
Marco Rubio and Bret Hume need to read this article.
.... I dunno if he is a Halfrican anymore since he is now going around saying he is the first American President from Africa!!!
Idiot will say anything to make himself look good......and get money.

Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
and FBI/DOJ used anti-Trump FakeNewsNYT to create the official narrative on the documents, by getting the docs to them first, when it should have been a Judicial Watch scoop.
22 Jul: Reuters: FBI releases documents on former Trump adviser surveillance
by David Shepardson
The 412 pages, mostly heavily redacted and made public by the Federal Bureau of Investigation late Saturday...
Earlier Saturday, The New York Times reported it had received a copy from the Justice Department after it and other news organizations had filed suit...
(final paragraph - which is true - follows Pelosi lies, etc)
Republicans have claimed that the FBI used in part a dossier compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to justify the warrant, and failed to disclose to the court that Steele was employed by a firm funded by Democrats to do opposition research on Trump’s business dealings.

4.05pm when Fitton tweeted. and this was after JW was told the docs were going to be FedEx’d to them, arriving on Monday. seems DOJ relented and emailed them Saturday afternoon.
Tweet: Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch: .@JudicialWatch now has Carter Page FISA docs. They are heavily redacted but seem to confirm the FBI and DoJ misled the courts in withholding info about Clinton-DNC being behind the info used to get the FISA warrant.

Perhaps Breitbart should be cited in a warrant to investigate Hillary Clinton and then see what the leftist media thinks?
