"A close examination of all four of the FISA warrants reveals that the FBI lifted dozens of key phrases – as well as practically some entire sentences – from the dossier and pasted them verbatim into their sworn affidavits. It did so repeatedly without citing its sources or using typical hedging language such as “allegedly” or “purportedly” to indicate that the claims were unverified.

As a result, the FBI lent its voice of authority to many of the unsourced – and now debunked – accusations in the dossier."


In addition to the #twitterfiles dropping, more criminal activity is starting to come out about The FBI and the role it played in spying on Trump and to get FISA warrants. They actually knew the infamous Steele Dossier was fake and they used it any way as a pretext to spy.

Discuss!

 

"The bureau then made this reporting its own in a FISA application, telling the court, “The FBI has learned that Page met with at least two Russian officials during this trip,” even though it had no independent knowledge of such a meeting. While Page did travel to Moscow at the time to give a speech at a college where President Obama also once spoke, the secret meetings were another tall tale. Page told agents he didn’t even know who Divyekin was. But that didn’t stop the FBI from inserting the false rumors into its spy warrants (document images here)."

 

At what point does The FBI get dissolved and recreated with an institution or agency that can be trusted?

 

Our fbi is no longer trustworthy and haven’t been for awhile.

 

These agencies need to be cleaned out.

 

The Landmark Legal Foundation filed an amicus curiae in early 2017 with the FISA court suggesting they had evidence of fraudulent filings among other things. The FISA court dismissed it out of hand saying among other stuff that it was water under the bridge. It is not obvious that the court was not in on the ploy.

 

Don't hold your breath

DC takes care of its own. Trump was a threat

 

It reached that point with me many years ago.

 

Hang on there bro.

Do you mean to tell me people use copy and paste?

Love the phrase "practically some entire sentences" in your article.

Also, may parts of the dossier were confirmed as correct.

 

...only in the feeble minds of the most credulous amongst us.

 

Government workers are sometimes a lazy and hyper partisan lot. Just more evidence of this. Of course, they won't admit to it, suggesting that years of further investigation from the Mueller democrats found real evidence, which again, is laughable, but ok.

 

Yup!

 

and they are persecuting him at this very moment.

 

Plenty of stuff in the Steel Dossier that was accurate.

It's misleading to refer to it as debunked.

 

Like they go the day right on a certain date?

 

More of it is true than not.

 

Fake news.

 

This won't interest you, but no. lol

CNN reported in February 2017 that US investigators had corroborated some of the communications detailed in the dossier, citing multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials.

The CNN report said US investigators were able to confirm the time, place and people involved in some of the conversations between foreign nationals mentioned by Steele. The story said CNN couldn’t confirm if those conversations were about Trump, and the sources told CNN that the corroborated information had nothing to do with the salacious claims in the dossier.

Two special counsel investigations, multiple congressional inquiries, civil lawsuits in the US and the United Kingdom, and an internal Justice Department review have now fully unspooled the behind-the-scenes role that some Democrats played in this saga. They paid for the research, funneled information to Steele’s sources, and then urged the FBI to investigate Trump’s connections to Russia.

Mother Jones first revealed the existence of the dossier a few days before the 2016 election, and said the memos were part of an “opposition research project” underwritten by Democrats. Nearly a year passed before the full truth came out about the financing: The money flowed from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to law firm Perkins Coie, to the research company Fusion GPS, and then ultimately to Steele, who got $168,000.

But Democratic involvement in Steele’s work was much deeper than previously known. Court filings from the Durham inquiry recently revealed that some information in the dossier originated from Charles Dolan, 71, a public relations executive with expertise in Russian affairs who had a decades-long political relationship with the Clinton family. He has not been accused of any crimes.

Federal prosecutors said Dolan was in regular contact in 2016 with Steele’s primary source Igor Danchenko, 49, a Russian citizen and foreign policy analyst who lives in Virginia. Danchenko was indicted on November 4 for allegedly lying to the FBI about his dealings with Dolan and a fellow Soviet-born expat that he claimed was one of his sources.

The Danchenko indictment raises new concerns about the circular nature of portions of Steele’s work, and how it fit into a larger effort by Democrats to dirty up Trump. Clinton’s campaign funded the project, and we now know that much of the material in Steele’s memos ended up being mere political gossip. Steele then sent his explosive but unverified findings to the FBI and State Department.

While Steele was passing his tips onto the FBI in fall 2016, a Clinton campaign lawyer separately met with a senior FBI official and gave him information about strange cyberactivity between servers at the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, the largest private bank in Russia.

The lawyer, Michael Sussmann, has since been charged with lying to the FBI during that meeting, for allegedly saying he wasn’t providing the dirt on behalf of any client, even though he ultimately billed that time to the Clinton campaign, and also billed them for other work he did on the server issue. Durham says Sussmann repeated this lie during a meeting with CIA officials in February 2017, where he told them about the server theory. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.

The indictment says Sussman peddled the same material to a Slate reporter, who published a story right before the election. The story said reputable computer scientists uncovered unusual activity between servers belonging to the Trump Organization and the Moscow-based Alfa Bank, suggesting a secret backchannel.

The Trump Organization and Alfa Bank both denied there was a backchannel. The FBI investigated the underlying data and ruled out any improper cyber links by February 2017.

But after the Slate article came out, Clinton’s campaign went on a PR blitz, tying Trump to Russia. Clinton had already slammed Trump for months, for embracing Russia’s interference in the election, which included releasing hacked emails from Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee.

Sussmann was a partner at the law firm Perkins Coie, which indirectly hired Steele. Both men separately went to the FBI in 2016 with dirt about Trump, though there’s no indication Sussmann knew about the dossier. (A 2019 Justice Department watchdog report pointed out that the FBI routinely accepts information from biased or dubious sources, and then investigators try to independently vet the material.)

Another Russian who Danchenko told the FBI was one of his sources said in a sworn affidavit in a civil case that she wasn’t the source for at least one claim that was attributed to her. The woman, publicist Olga Galkina, said she believes Danchenko told the FBI she was his source “to create more authoritativeness for his work,” according to court filings.

The indictment against Danchenko quotes emails where Galkina told Dolan she is a “big Hillary fan,” and hoped to land a job at the State Department after Clinton became president.

It's all a conspiracy, I'll bet.

 

What a fascinating story.

 

You're welcome, always happy to educate.

 

The FBI is a corrupt, trash organization that rigs elections. It cannot be saved and should no longer exist. The FBI peddled the bogus Steele Dossier in 2016 to get illegal warrants to spy on Trump. And then it peddled lies to censor reporting about Hunter Biden in 2020. -S. Davis

 

"The only reason the FBI has issued this blatantly dishonest statement is that they know they are in very deep trouble. Otherwise they would just ignore the whole story. Whether anyone will hold them to account remains to be seen but at least they fear it might happen." - H. Mahncke

Biden and his DOJ will keep The FBI safe and tyrannical.

 

Totally. H Mahncke said so. No idea who he or she is, bu they said so.

 

They never have been from the beginning.

 

The FBI would never LIE! There's no way...lol
