The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

This means that all FISA obtained information is "fruit of the poison tree" and cannot legally be used. The Flynn conviction may be thrown out.

McCabe should be arrested but political figures are often allowed to break the law for unknown reasons.

That's certainly a risk, isn't it?

Withholding that information from the Court to whom you are applying for a warrant is bad stuff. The FISA courts have tended to rubber stamp applications for warrants, but this is not good. I'd certainly expect some litigation on that point. If not from Flynn, then from anyone else who is indicted.

IF this was a regular trial this would be true but impeachment(the big threat to the President) is a different critter.

Impeachment is the only way to remove Mr. Trump and all the Dims need is to get a few weak knee Never Trumpers to join their ranks.

I'm not a lawyer but that's what I get out of hearing both sides.
