Newly released document shows the FBI knew the dossier was fake while applying for a FISA warrant
The FBI’s alleged mishandling of the Steele dossier and its use in gaining a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign is finally under investigation, and while these allegations have been around for awhile a newly uncovered document seems to provide more evidence the FBI did indeed know the document was fake when it used it as evidence. Here is more:
The FBI did indeed have proof that the Steele dossier was a fraud when they used it to obtain the FISA warrant to spy on candidate Trump. Yet they lied to get the FISA warrant.
Yesterday John Solomon from the Hill reported that a State Department employee had evidence that the Steele dossier was a fraud before it was used by the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on candidate Trump
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.
These concerns were typed up a full 10 days before the FBI went to the FISA court and swore the document was valid. Not only that but the FBI knew the document was constructed for political reasons in order to sway the 2016 election:
Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
Steele’s client “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8,” the date of the 2016 election, Kavalec wrote in a typed summary of her meeting with Steele and Tatyana Duran, a colleague from Steele’s Orbis Security firm. The memos were unearthed a few days ago through open-records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United.
After two years of investigating Donald Trump for allegedly trying to interfere with the 2016 election it looks as if the only conspiracy which was uncovered the Democrats’ plan to steal the election from him.

Yet Comey has the nerve to go on CNN for an hour and spout total craziness. I just hope there will be some justice at least for him,
