What's up with the stupid headline: "we just got a huge sign..."?
More highlights: "So, if the CNN report is accurate, then I have to believe that the FBI and Department of Justice concluded (and the Court agreed) that the info in the dossier about Page was reliable," Rizzo said, "and in all liklihood was backed up by other available intelligence."
The FBI has been using the dossier as a "roadmap" for its investigation
While the evidence put forward in declarations is "usually obtained from an intercept, it need not be," according to the former intelligence officer. "The evidence need not be of the quality that would be admitted into a trial."
The bar for obtaining a FISA order is fairly low. But evidence cited in declarations must still be corroborated through an agency's investigations before it is submitted to the court, officials familiar with the matter told CNN.
A former senior intelligence officer, who requested anonymity to discuss the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act process candidly, told Business Insider on Wednesday that using this kind of raw intelligence to build a case for a FISA order was "not uncommon."
So anonymous sources are assuring us that the bar is very low, evidence can be low quality and manufactured, its ok to use unsubstantiated (FAKE) dossiers etc etc to get your warrant and spy on people.
First they said/testified that Trump was not surveiled, and he was nuts. Now all of the articles coming out of the same media are stating he was in fact surveiled.
Now, the media/democrats are saying it was right to conduct surveillance on the Trump campaign.
Kinda reminds me of Venezuela.

Yes, Putin installed Trump so Trump could flip him off and bomb Syria.
Uh huh...
Why would they install Trump, when they could have donated to Hillary’s family foundation and bought her cheap?
She sold them Uranium. Trump didn’t.
This is just bonkers.
This would imply that the US “intelligence community” isn’t very intelligent.
Is this the Pissing Hookers Dossier?
I guess if the alternative is the conclusion becoming inescapable that Obama used intelligence assets against at least one political opponent and his team, they have to go with it.
All the spying on Trump proves to me he is the most thoroughly vetted President in history. Armies of spies went through everything and found nothing.
This election wasn’t about politics, it was about Israel...it was and is about God and Satan...
If you have noticed, any arrow, stone or boulder that is thrown at President Trump or what he is trying to do is failing...
The ‘evil’ people that are trying to bring down President Trump are not winning, that includes the media, talking heads and radio show hosts...
America is the other arm of Israel...if you believe in God and the Bible as the Word of God...
I do, even if I have the dumbest person in the World as a leader: Francis the talking poop...
GO. PRESIDENT TRUMP. GO!!! MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
If this article is real, Comey and his direct reports are furiously getting their stories straight and creating a real, actual security threat out of whole cloth to explain their unconstitutional invasion of private citizens’ lives. They realize it was an entirely politicized witch hunt at the behest of the Obama Administration, using the police powers of the state to abuse and malign the political opponents of the Democrat Party. Now they must torture the facts to make sure the public does not see that as the case. The solution: PissGate is real! We always knew it! Golden Showers fill your eyes....
So now we know, Trump was urinating on hookers in Obama’s bed, so they had to wiretap Trump Tower.
Unreal, almost laughable as a Veep episode. You cannot write this stuff.
Well, rest assured Comey will sure defend our president against this absurd “dose of hay”. Not.
I mean, Trump wetting on a bed is too ridiculous for words, but even bed wetting is not treason.
Next?
Fire Comey and hire Assange. He is more honest.
Yeah, but not a "real court-of-law"... it was after all a FISA Court.
The FISA court has zero resources to determine the reliability of the dossier. ALL they can do is rely upon the representations of the FBI and Justice Department, who in turn, relied upon Brenner’s CIA.
Is this from OBONZO’S “intelligence community” or a different one?
Made With Genuine Processed Cheese Product
I don’t believe the US intelligence community is legitimate.
Just trying to see if any shit sticks. More crap to try and sideline President Trump. We all know Russia likes Helery the best! She sells thing stuff.
Remember that they got this dossier from a ex-British spy ... now who would take anything from the British spy agencies as truthful and accurate .... the entire British spy agencies are populated by queers, freaks, perverts, pedophiles, communists, etc.
They’re using circular logic. Trump ain’t going nowhere for another 2834 days.
And don’t these numbnuts realize that President Pence would be every bit as much a nightmare for them as President Trump is?
This is the kind of drivel that began the “fake news” movement.
Classic fake news viral bullshit.
