* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
* DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele’s bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.
* Incomplete and or falsified affidavit presented to a FISA court Judge to spy on those who opposed Hillary/Obama.
* Comey,Rosenstein,McCabe,Yates,Boente all signed off on the false affidavits to apply for FISA surveillance of political opponents.
* Falsified affidavit based on Yahoo News article whose source was GPS/Simpson,the firm hired by law firm retained by Hillary/DNC whose oppo research file was used for subsequent FISA warrants .
“Fruit of the poisonous tree” ALL evidence accrued and gathered is nullified due to the fact a false affidavit was used to accumulate the evidence.
What confuses me is this:
Three 90 day surveillance renewals from Oct 21, 2016, takes us to sometime in July 2017. Was Carter Page being listened in to 6 months AFTER Trump’s inauguration?
false FISA applicationS says political opponents....but only Page is mentioned. Names....we need names....
is it clear who drafted the FISA affidavits?
Question I’m embarrassed to ask (but here goes): Even if the dossier was true, why would the (false) fact that Trump was in a room with prostitutes in Russia justify an investigation into election misdeeds? Thanks...
This is just dirty.
Thank you for the summary.
Get rid of Rosenstein!
No wonder folks were nervous.
