@CBSNews obtains 94-page declassified FBI spreadsheet, widely cited by IG Horowitz, but not public until now. Recently released to Senate investigators, the FBI spreadsheet was part of a broader effort to corroborate the Steele dossier claims.
While lightly redacted, the bureau spreadsheet shows the FBI relied heavily on media reporting to back up claims about Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and others. IG Horowitz faulted the FBI over lack of corroboration + evidence of circular reporting.
reporting in the @carterwpage FISA + then not correcting the court record once the connection with Steele was known. Tim Gill Sr, a former senior FBI intelligence officer, told CBS that the reliance on media reporting was not standard. Any effort to corroborate a report
should include a variety of intelligence sources, including imagery intelligence, human intelligence, signals intelligence as well as clandestine intelligence collection platforms for verification," Gill said. You don't rely on media reporting.

Un-fricking-beleivable
We know it was a big group effort circle-jerk
Nice to see the evidence that vindicates our view
Now lets get some asses in jail
It doesn't. What it does is expose Barr and Durham are involved in the coverup. Trump should fire them both and Wray!
Sigh.
And straight to CBSNews.
We can argue that it should have never been classified, but does anyone in DC care that Congressional staffs leak like sieves?
Gill said You dont rely on media reporting. Agreed.
However, this is the same FBI that recently cited ‘Wikipedia’ as a source as well.
Even my kid’s high school teacher wouldn’t let those sources be used in a homework assignment!
And straight to CBSNews.
.......:
Catherine Herridge usually a good source on Faux. Now at CBS maybe they trust that MSM network to wash this better than NBC, CNN, or MSNBC
Just the news also says they are aware of it Id trust John Solomon more at this point to get to the real news in it
High level government officials are like the kingpins of the mafia, they know too much. If they were truly convicted for such high crimes, they would most certainly have to face immediate execution since a sentence would afford them the opportunity to sell such secrets.
The FBI was too busy chasing down white middle class men who attended Church to do their job.
Gotta give Herridge credit for sticking to principles and good journalism.
I was not sure she could stay “strong” in the face of the fake CBS news.
This is “good” news.
Remember Michael Isikoff?
He said the FBI was his source for the Russian Collusion story he ran. He was surprised to learn later that the FBI cited his reporting of that as a source to the FISA court.
I watched the same thing happen in real time after Mueller came up empty handed. The Media ran the Dems Russian propaganda; then the Dems cited their reports as reason to continue to investigate it. Though there was no evidence, they used the term “there’s lots of smoke” as reason to continue to push the narrative.
bump
Don’t forget to thoroughly vet the agents first
