Therefore, the June 2017 warrant application fails to tell the FISA Court about Steeles admission that at least part of his dossier was unverified, the DOJs Rule 13 letter over a year later, purporting to inform the court of material omissions in the FISA warrant applications, fails to include Steeles admission, and the IG Report fails to inform the public about
1) Steeles admission being absent from the June 2017 warrant application, and
2) the failure of the DOJ in its Rule 13 letter to inform the FISA Court about Steeles admission being absent from the June 2017 warrant application.
The NSD Assistant Attorney General who submitted the Rule 13 letter to the FISA Court is John Demers, who rose to that position during the Trump Administration, and who still holds the position.
Thank you. Great summary.
It also should be highlighted that Steele’s admission came after the first three FISA warrant applications had been filed, and before the fourth and final application. His admission needed to be included in that fourth application. Rod Rosenstein was one of those who signed the fourth application. Rosenstein needs to be questioned about this.
