FBI lied: Contrary to testimony, they knew the Steele dossier was fake BEFORE using it to get FISA
noqreport.com ^ | May 9, 2019 | By Carl Durrek

The “evidence” used by the FBI to secure FISA warrants on Trump adviser Carter Page was known to be suspiciously inaccurate 10 days before procuring the warrants, but the FBI used them anyway. In fact, the FBI swore before the FISA judge that the information had been corroborated when it clearly had not.

Information had been given to the FBI demonstrating the motivations behind the Steele Dossier were clearly political and prompted by the Clinton campaign. They knew this going in, but without actual evidence to back their FISA request, they ran with the false story in hopes it would yield fruit. When it didn’t, they quickly began covering up their activities and tried to justify the warrants with evidence collected after the fact, evidence that itself was tainted.

According to John Solomon at The Hill:

The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.

Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory.

It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele’s “reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings” and the FBI has determined him to be “reliable” and was “unaware of any derogatory information pertaining” to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump.

Bottom Line:

The FBI clearly knew the Steele Dossier was a fabricated political attack commissioned by the Clinton campaign, yet swore before the FISA judge that it was accurate and corroborated. It’s time to investigate the investigators now.

Lies of this magnitude and consequence could only happen if this was all directed/approved from the top. We now know mostly what the cabal wanted to do and how they went about it. At this point we need to know who devised and instigated this plot, every conspirator involved, who ran the show, and how high the approvals went.

Bureaucrats don’t go rogue and put their bosses in criminal and political jeopardy without their consent/approval. In other words Comey, Lynch, Brennan, and Clapper were not the top layer. That is a virtual certainty

Why is Wray not saying and doing everything he can to restore integrity and trust in his bureau? Any able manager would be doing everything possible to correct past problems, in a very public way. His passive silence is telling.

That's a bingo.

It goes all the way to the tippy top at the Obama [WH] and beyond. Obama himself is just a tool also.

Why do you suppose foreign governments were willingly complicit in the "takedown"?

O’bimbo, no doubt blessed it all...not smart enough to run it alone.

Deer in the headlights. He has too much invested in his compatriots in the old guard. He can't protect them and restore the bureau's reputation both, and it appears he can't choose one or the other.

Nice rehash of John Solomon’s reporting for The Hill that was posted here yesterday.

Because Wray is a deep state hack and a Rat Mole. Look at how many Rat votes he got to confirm. I want to know who recommended him.
