Obama-Era State Department Official Provides More Evidence Of FISA Abuse

Kathleen Kavalec’s notes provide at least four more pieces of proof to the already-conclusive case of FISA abuse and wrongful government targeting.

In October 2016, the Obama administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) obtained the first of four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court surveillance orders on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. More than a year later, and following an intensive investigation into the FISA process by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Rep. Devin Nunes (R–Calif.) released a four-page memorandum detailing FISA abuse related to the Page surveillance order.

Since then, there has been a constant stream of evidence exposing the abuse. The most recent addition came last week when news broke that Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec met with dossier author Christopher Steele on October 11, 2016—two weeks before the DOJ and FBI relied on the Steele dossier to obtain a FISA surveillance order targeting Page.

Notes Kavalec took memorializing her meeting with the former MI6 spy, and reports that Kavalec shared with the FBI details of her confab with Steele, provide more proof that Obama administration officials and career DOJ and FBI employees abused the FISA court process.

is it possible the dossier was started by John McCain?

I would not use the word 'started', but he sure had his dirty paws on getting a 'foreign' stamp of authenticity, and then its distribution. I think every (including so called 'conservative') media outlet was furnished with the raw dirt . Rick Wilson was peddling dirt .. I remember seeing a text from one media woman, acknowledging receipt of Rick Wilson's dirt on candidate Trump.

Megan Kelly's debate performance on candidate Trump was suppose to finish candidate Trump off... the dirt was getting passed around then.

Steele met with the State Dept. specifically to get the State Dept. to report to the FBI that a “source” had provided information that implicated Trump in a conspiracy with the Russians. They did not expect the report to be negative. They wanted a circular confirmation of Steele’s dossier just as the Issokof article was used for the FISA.
