It is now proven that the FBI used the phony dossier to get the warrants to spy on Trump's people.


The FBI used the bombshell Trump-Russia dossier to get permission to surveil a former Trump adviser

Bryan Logan

Apr. 18, 2017, 7:17 PM


The FBI used information from the explosive, unverified dossier detailing President Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia to obtain a warrant to secretly monitor former Trump adviser Carter Page.

That same dossier — a collection of memos compiled by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele — has been used in other elements of the US investigation into whether there was any inappropriate contact between Trump campaign associates and Russia.

CNN first reported the FBI's use of the dossier to secure the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant on Page, the former Trump foreign-policy adviser who has appeared to be at the center of the Trump-Russia investigations — due in part to his previous work in Russia and his communications with Russian officials.

President Donald Trump has previously called the dossier "phony stuff" and "fake news."

Page has resurfaced in headlines at several points since the 2016 election — most recently last week, when he declared that he could not "definitively" say that he never discussed US sanctions with any Russian official. The dossier alleges Page met senior Russian officials during a trip to Moscow last July, when he gave a speech critical of US policy toward Russia. It also alleges Page discussed sanctions and business opportunities with the Russian officials. Page has denied the information contained in the dossier.

Page has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and said suggestions of his alleged involvement in any perceived collusion between the Trump camp and Russia were "lies."

Page said in a statement to Business Insider on Tuesday: "I look forward to the Privacy Act of 1974 lawsuit that I plan to file in response to the civil rights violations by Obama Administration appointees last year."

"The discovery process will be of great value to the United States, as our nation hears testimony from them under oath and we receive disclosure of the documents which show what exactly was done in 2016."

The matter of those sanctions felled another Trump adviser in recent months. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn resigned from Trump's White House in February amid questions about his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

It was a total work of fiction.

The only thing that is true is that Carter Page did indeed go to Russia, from what I hear, but everything he is alleged to have done is false.

But it it now proven that the FBI used it to get warrants to spy on Trump's people during the election campaign.

I read the leaked testinomy from Fusion to the senate. It's pretty damning all round.

The Dem senator questions seem to show very good reasons to inform the FBI, nothing suggests malfeasance, and the republicans seem entirely interested in muck raking character and motivation to try and discredit the reports authors rather than the substance of the report and end up with nothing.

It's kind of worrying that the way republican politicians approach this now is entirely in terms of trying to cover the republican parties arse rather than establishing whether or not there has been dammage to the nation.

yeah the russians figured out over six years ago trump would be president and began cultivating him then and got pee pee tape on him to blackmail him and michael cohn was at the center of collusion conspiracy theory in prague meetings

steele dossier couldn’t be more ridiculous and discredited if it claimed ufo alien grays had kidnapped trump to venus and held him captive there for last ten years where he murdered and ate babies in cannibalistic white supremacy rituals with steve bannon and saddam hussein

it takes hillary and disgusting british and usa deep state to come up with big lies as evil as this [see their similar combined work to create iraq war]

even the most hard to believe part of dossier (uriantion thing) is plausible... Trump's a buffoon, would be an easy target to blackmail... just tell the prostitutes to go pee on the bed while he's being taped (although with his massive Obama obsession/hate can't rule out it being his idea either)

Delude, how in God's name can you sit there and say it is not a leak?


She took a 300 page document from a closed door questioning of an ongoing investigation and gave copies to the press. The reason it was closed door is because the investigation was ongoing and it was not yet ready for public consumption.

When she started getting heat for doing so she said she had a cold and it must have effected her 'facilities'.

Not her faculties, her 'facilities'.

Because you fucking idiot the definition of a leak was give to you in another thread and the criteria doesn't fit.

Werewolf dumbass, you are aware the Russians has a history on keeping files on high profiles figures, yes? Kompromat. No, not probably "over six years ago." But it doesn't negate the doesnt that their government does these things. But again your the same dumbass that has Putin's dick so far shoved up your ass and down your throat.

There are various definitions that describes what a leak is or a "news leak." All of it intertwines.

Commonly a leak falls under; "information released by an unnamed source." Typically which the White House currently, and in the past, has been fighting in regards to various information. And the current White House has been critical of wanting "unnamed sources" to stop being a practice.

You calling it a "leak" is a viable description, but not in a sense that it is commonly viewed.

Feinstein did not hide the fact she released the information publicly. Nor did she prioritize it being released to news organization. As it has a distinct definition on its own.

Merriam-Webster has a definition that covers it, but it too uses words indicating a "leak" is done secretly.

As for the rules for the committee Feinstein and others belong. There are set rules in regards to "closed" meetings. And there isn't anything unlawful in what the action has taken place. (Something you seemingly inferred previously)

It Sen. Grassley is also on record stating he wasn't planning on it, from his end, to release it. So this also alludes to the fact that it had not been agreed upon yet when to release it or not. So that also supports the notion that this was not a "leak."

Semantics aside. It is rather counterproductive to argue that point of it. But I am merely giving perspective.

Delude, so it was transparency rather than a leak?

Do you know ho silly that is?


The idea of a closed door meeting is it is inherently not intended to be transparent. That is why they close the door rather than have the press and all of their cameras there to record it for the public.

It is an ongoing investigation where additional people will be called to testify. The testimony that Feinstein released could have consequences for others that will be called. In other words, they might testify to something other than the truth based on what is contained in this transcript.

Think of it this way. When the cops pick up two people they suspect of a crime they usually separate them so they don't have a chance to make up a story. If they haven't already.

Another way to think of it try thinking of a pail of water. The water is the testimony. If you make a small hole in the bucket you create a leak.

Well, Feinstein kicked the bucket over which is a really huge leak, so to speak.


I know one thing for absolute certainty.

If I were going to conduct a closed door hearing, Sen. Feinstein would not be allowed in the room ever again. She made a serious mistake and she should be made to pay for it. And if I were opposing her in this years election, I believe she is running for reelection, I would certainly use this against her,


She can't keep a secret and in her position she is privy to some of our nations secrets. What is she going to 'leak' next?

"Delude, so it was transparency rather than a leak?

So you're now complaining of transparency, when you railed for years about how secretive the Obama administration was and you made numerous threads asking the same fucking broken record question. "What does he have to hide?!?!"

Yeah, fuck you.

""The idea of a closed door meeting is it is inherently not intended to be transparent. That is why they close the door rather than have the press and all of their cameras there to record it for the public. "

And any time obama did it you made a thread and complained about it. Fuck you.

"It is an ongoing investigation where additional people will be called to testify. The testimony that Feinstein released could have consequences for others that will be called. In other words, they might testify to something other than the truth based on what is contained in this transcript. "

Like how you called forth for every tidbit of information regarding clinton's affairs? Fuck off hypocrite.

"Think of it this way. When the cops pick up two people they suspect of a crime they usually separate them so they don't have a chance to make up a story. If they haven't already. "

This makes no sense and does not apply to this current situation. But that is because you are a fucking retard.

"Another way to think of it try thinking of a pail of water. The water is the testimony. If you make a small hole in the bucket you create a leak.

Well, Feinstein kicked the bucket over which is a really huge leak, so to speak. "

This was information already known to the FBI and now to the committee. Then you fucking retards started to complain how "bias" the intelligence agencies have been and how much in "shambles" they are in and outright calling them liars in the course of the investigation and this was a way to say "fuck you" make your own mind up here is the information we know and you should know.

"I know one thing for absolute certainty. "

You don't know anything for certainty which has been pointed out to you on every god damn occasion you post something about a subject and fail.

"If I were going to conduct a closed door hearing, Sen. Feinstein would not be allowed in the room ever again. She made a serious mistake and she should be made to pay for it. And if I were opposing her in this years election, I believe she is running for reelection, I would certainly use this against her, "

American Democrat pretty much addressed this issue. So you're fucking stupid.

"She can't keep a secret and in her position she is privy to some of our nations secrets. What is she going to 'leak' next?"

You're an idiot and a hypocrite.

I honestly do not care if he reads or responds to me. I address his points and will point out his errors as well give facts, or address facts with an opinion. Something he has shown difficulty in doing.

As for the various points he brought up, I had coincidentally addressed them in my prior post. It is up to him to read it and see the error of his ways. Or him being scrutinized for it.

Thought not.

It explained the definition of a leak that I was using.

She told the world something that was considered by the others involved to be confidential.

Then she turns around and blames a cold for such a serious error.

"id you even bother to tread ny last post?

I did. And explained how you are wrong.

"It explained the definition of a leak that I was using."

I addressed this point and indicated it was feasible. But I also explained what "leak" actually meant and how information is disseminated.

"She told the world something that was considered by the others involved to be confidential."

In a testimonial format, which the release of such information had not yet been agreed upon at the time. Considering the committee rules and all for "closed sessions."

"Then she turns around and blames a cold for such a serious error."

No, she said that related to relaying to Mr. Grassley her intent. She was going to do it anyways.


"THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT SHE DID. "

Transparency. Are you denying that the republican crowd and Trump crowd has been savagely requesting transparency in the course of the investigation. I am willing to provide many examples...
