David Kris, a FISA expert who has served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, dismissed the claim made in the GOP memo that federal authorities misled intelligence court judges.
“Now we can see that the footnote disclosing Steele’s possible bias takes up more than a full page in the applications, so there is literally no way the FISA Court could have missed it,” Kris wrote on the Lawfare blog. “The FBI gave the court enough information to evaluate Steele’s credibility.”
The Republican memo, however, argues that information from the dossier was "essential" to the acquisition of warrants on Page.
While the dossier was a factor in the Page warrant application, it remains unclear how large a role the dossier played, given all the redactions.
Trump declassified the memo despite fierce and rare public objections from the FBI, which had warned that the document contained “material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”
"The FBI takes seriously its obligations to the FISA Court and its compliance with procedures overseen by career professionals in the Department of Justice and the FBI," the FBI said in its statement at the time.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the committee, said he is glad the release of the redacted Page document can finally put these "these conspiracy theories" to rest.
“Even in redacted form, the initial FISA application and three renewals underscore the legitimate concern FBI had about Page’s activities as it was investigating Russia’s interference; DOJ’s transparency with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court about a specific source; and that DOJ followed proper procedures in receiving approval from four different judges," Schiff said in a statement over the weekend.
And your cartoons are moronic.
