FBI Says Trump Dossier Is Not Verified
Yet this has been used by media to spread this collusion conspiracy story now for months.
And reports indicated the FBI also used it before a FISA court to spy on Trump folks. And now that it’s been revealed that Hillary and the DNC paid for it, it was basically using unverified oppo research to spy on the political opponents of Obama and Clinton.
Quote:FBI and Justice Department officials have told congressional investigators in recent days that they have not been able to verify or corroborate the substantive allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign outlined in the Trump dossier.
The FBI received the first installment of the dossier in July 2016. It received later installments as they were written at the height of the presidential campaign, which means the bureau has had more than a year to investigate the allegations in the document. The dossier was financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign and compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
An August 24, 2017 subpoena from the House Intelligence Committee to the FBI and Justice Department asked for information on the bureau’s efforts to validate the dossier. Specifically, the subpoena demanded “any documents, if they exist, that memorialize DOJ and/or FBI efforts to corroborate, validate, or evaluate information provided by Mr. Steele and/or sub-sources and/or contained in the ‘Trump Dossier.'”

If the false dossier was the basis of the FISA warrants I would think that the subject of said warrants would have a strong case against the FBI for violating their civil rights.
If it were me I would sue the hell out of every agency and even every individual involved in this charade.
