A federal judge has ordered the FBI to search for and produce all documents related to the bureau’s one-time asset, former British spy Christopher Steele, who produced the long-discredited “Russia dossier” fired FBI Director James Comey and others used to obtain surveillance warrants against the 2016 Trump campaign.
U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper, in issuing his ruling, said that the public’s interest outweighed Steele’s privacy rights and ordered the FBI to complete the search within 60 days.
Steele, who was dismissed by the bureau for unauthorized contact with the media, nevertheless produced the infamous dossier that was central to the “Spygate” scandal. Comey and others in the bureau used it to obtain a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to spy on 2016 Trump campaign figure Carter Page.
The dossier, which was never verified, was used to obtain at least four surveillance warrants, including two after President Trump was inaugurated.

I believe the FBI is compromised at the mid-to-senior level management. That’s where all the day-to-day decisions get made. If they slow-walk this information, or just violate the order, we’ll know where the problem is.
To be released after 2025...

Bit from Hillary!
At least one judge is doing the right thing. We will see if anything comes of this. I would wager all documents will be heavily redacted to the point of nothing but black ink.
I was in a jury pool shortly after the non-conviction of BJ Clinton in the Senate. One potential juror told the judge that, like you, he would never find a fellow citizen guilty. I get it. The DOJ/FBI/CIA are filthy.
Well - I remember when Trump spoke in a wistful manner about how wonderful it would be to tear down the FBI building and build a new beautiful one.
And he wasn’t talking about how they needed a “new and improved” building.
I think Trump has a very long memory - Trumpelphants NEVER forget.
