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.

Donald Trump Jr. should go before Sen. Warners committee and answer every question with a question.

Why do you continue to chase a hoax???

Sorry I thought you were calling Wray a hero and I never called Barr a deep state hack.

Of course there can never be any forgiving for foisting yoko OH-NO! on the world.

That was truly a crime against humanity.

I do think he finally pulled his head out of his drug addled ass around the time of that last album release.

Just in time to get whacked.

Have to disagree.

Bureacrats routinely go rougue and ignore their elected bosses.

Their elected bosses are clueless. They rely on the permanent staff.

That is one of the problems with a bloated Government delivering too many programs and exercising too much control and regulation

Yay. Though many here did.

I think Wray will surprise you. He's cleared out many of the top derps that were embedded in the FBI. His "not spying" line was deliberately mis-represented and mis-understood.

If he was a derp, I'm very sure The Donald would S-can him.

I say trust Wray until proven otherwise.

True. He was very useful to them for the [R] behind his name and, in this case, lent credibility to the dossier because of it.

But he was also one of them.

Yes, it was supposedly, but It was NOT RUSSIAN origin. Nellie Ohr is fluent in Russian, and was a former CIA operative.

She wrote it, made up from whole cloth, and had the contacts to spread it around DC with the imprimatur of Russian Intel........................

All this drip work seems to be laying out the ground work little by little. I know patience is a virtue but time is of the essence but not in this case. The MSM and Dems had 2+ years to embed their lies in the population. I think this will ultimately blow up when maximum exposure is achieved by our side.

“they knew the Steele dossier was fake BEFORE using it to get FISA.”

“That being the case then someone needs to go to jail.... “
The scary part of the FBI surveillance of the Trump campaign, is that I have not seen anyone able to find a specific law which was broken by the FBI. Unreasonable search and seizure is a protection a defendant can use to have evidence thrown out. But the law enforcement agents never suffer any consequences. Maybe they get fired, but they never get prosecuted for abusing their power. At worst they face civil charges (have to pay damages to the defendant). If the FBI wants to tap my phone (or yours) and they get a judge to approve it, even by lying, at worst they face disciplinary action, not “jail”.

I think he should go on CNN, tear the subpoena up into little pieces, throw it in Don Lemon's face, and walk out.

Then go on safari to Africa, shoot a rino, pose by it's dead carcass and post it on twitter.

Just to send a message.

They will also need to trace evidence gathered from these illegal searches and surveillance because it will be tossed as fruit of a poisoned tree, I believe. That means some alleged perps will walk away.

That would be an affirmative.

Also check out this line from Wiki:

(in 2005) Wray nearly resigned alongside then FBI Director Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General James Comey due to illegal surveillance techniques the Bush administration had put in place.

Remember about Yates, she was the one who refused to follow Trump’s order about illegal immigrants citing it being illegal. See, the DOJ now is its own arbitrator of what the President wants. Kind of a inside veto power.
