Unearthed Memo shows state dept knew dossier was false 10 days before fisa application

Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for Hillary Clinton’s campaign was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media.
The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.
Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory.
It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele’s “reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings” and the FBI has determined him to be “reliable” and was “unaware of any derogatory information pertaining” to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump.
That’s a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump-Russia collusion was blatantly false.
Kavalec, two days later and well before the FISA warrant was issued, forwarded her typed summary to other government officials. The State Department has redacted the names and agencies of everyone she alerted.
But it is almost certain the FBI knew of Steele's contact with State and his partisan motive. That's because former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland says she instructed her staff to send the information they got from Steele to the bureau immediately and to cease contact with the informer because "this is about U.S. politics, and not the work of — not the business of the State Department, and certainly not the business of a career employee who is subject to the Hatch Act."
Wowwwwww
If these memos actually exist, the fbi blatantly lied to the fisa court!

This redaction should not survive a FOIA. If it’s classified, that’s likely an abuse.

Think about this. If we would be in those great socialists countries the libs absolutely love, the culprits would have already been removed from on top of the earth.
May be the only good thing about socialism, problems get taken care of very quickly and cleanly.

How anyone could want a bigger federal government with more power in light of this is staggering.

I’m sure cnn and msnbc will pick this story up any day now

At this point, the only reason I will be ok with the delay in bringing the POS to justice is if Trump is lining up all his ducks to take them all out in one fell swoop.

I have to think that some elements of previous generations in this country would be taking the law into their own hands at this point if they were privy to the information that we have at our disposal today. Does this country not arrest treasonous criminals at the highest levels of power anymore or did that stop back in the Fifties?
