The dossier has largely been proven to be inaccurate, and the issue is whether the fbi misled the FISA court


They used it for a Carter Page FISA. The part they used has been largely verified.

quote:

Steele’s defenders have noted that the information he provided which made it into the FISA warrant application to monitor Page was not far off. According to Steele’s sources, Page met with high-level Russian officials while in Moscow in July 2016, including the CEO of Russia’s state-owned oil giant Rosneft.

Page denied the claim publicly until pressed under oath by lawmakers in 2017, when he acknowledged meeting “senior members of the presidential administration” during his trip, as well as the head of investor relations at Rosneft. Page had originally claimed only that he went to Moscow to give the commencement address at the New Economic School.

A career spy was able to fool lawyers? Are we shocked by this?

Maybe.... just maybe, because obama officials wiped their asses with standards that, if followed, would have blocked this tripe from being used?

If this intelligence was so good, why was steele himself trying to engineer circular verification for it? Why was he telling people that his work was "limited"?

So he's talented spy when it comes to fooling lawyers...

But he's an incompetent hoaxer when it comes to his ability gather raw intelligence on Trump from his sources.

That is wrong. The dossier bluntly states Page was working with Manafort as the central players in the collusion scheme. Page and Manafort barely know each other

All the stuff about sanctions, Rosneft shares, page coordinating with Wikileaks.....it was wrong

This doesn't mean what you think it means
quote:

The interview was contentious at first

Cause of alarm for your side
quote:

but investigators ultimately found Steele’s testimony credible and even surprising.

they flipped him
quote:

The takeaway has irked some U.S. officials interviewed as part of the probe

As if they know what Steele said
quote:

and the investigators’ sense that he offered new and important information

Again, this does not mean what you think it means. Because the 'new' might not be something you want to hear

So verified and so credible that they haven't been able to charge him with anything since they started spying on him in 2013? Mueller called his connections to Russians "tangential and eccentric". The Russians called him an "idiot".


fricking fail

they argue that it shouldn’t have taken a foreign national to convince the inspector general that the FBI acted properly in 2016.


Why even put this in the article? There is zero chance this was the focus of the Steele interview. How would he know that?

Neat editorial trick, there.

Ya know. Credible means he was truthful. Truthful in this case means he told them what he sold Hilldawg was a load of crap.

You have a fundamental ignorance of the reason for FISA. It's not a law enforcement mechanism. It is a counterintelligence mechanism.

Put more simply, you can be legally monitored for stuff that isn't a crime based off your actions (which don't have to be illegal).

You think they don't train spies on things like fooling people during questioning?

He likely took shaky information in exchange for lots of money. This isn't difficult.

I remember during the bush years when you guys on the left were apoplectic over this stuff

Putting Muslims on terror lists despite no proof, patriot act, etc

4th amendment means jack shite to you when it comes to protecting those you disagree with

As long as that information and it's source is properly vetted, which it wasn't.

Again, this isn't rocket science.

WE arent back on anything, you dolt. You don't know shite. Youre a message board poster. Youre quoting a fake article with anonymous sources, and actually arguing about it.

Talk about desperation. You actually believe, as a human being, that this shite was all dine abive board with no lying?

Its almost illegal how dumb you have to be
