[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if it was used to obtain the original FISA warrant (it was, but it was one of MANY touch points to obtain the warrant,) the warrant was granted by a (GOP appointed) Federal Judge. Had nothing come of it, then poof, it goes away. However, something did come of it. Not once, not twice, but three times, the warrant was extended but (GOP appointed) federal judges under supervision from (Trump appointed DAG) Rosenstein.

That extension can only happen if there a fruit being born from the warrant as adjudicated by the (GOP appointed) judges.

So are you saying that Rosenstein and the GOP judges are in on it too?[/quote]

It's called circular reporting.

[quote]But the FBI withheld from the American public and Congress, until months later, that Steele had been paid to find his dirt on Trump by a firm doing political opposition research for the Democratic Party and for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and that Steele himself harbored hatred for Trump.

If the FBI knew of his media contacts and the concerns about the reliability of his dossier before seeking the warrant, it would constitute a serious breach of FISA regulations and the trust that the FISA court places in the FBI.

That’s because the FBI has an obligation to certify to the court before it approves FISA warrants that its evidence is verified, and to alert the judges to any flaws in its evidence or information that suggest the target might be innocent.

We now know the FBI used an article from Yahoo News as independent corroboration for the Steele dossier when, in fact, Steele had talked to the news outlet.

[b]If the FBI knew Steele had that media contact before it submitted the article, it likely would be guilty of circular intelligence reporting, a forbidden tactic in which two pieces of evidence are portrayed as independent corroboration when, in fact, they originated from the same source.[/b][/quote]
