T**********e 发帖数: 29576 | 1 So Team Nunes is admitting that Papadopoulos triggered the FBI's Russia
investigation -- not the Steele dossier?
Warrant on Carter Page was renewed THREE times after initial issuance, for
which the @FBI would have had to show to judge it was getting valuable
intelligence Page was acting as agent of foreign Govt.
Notable in the memo: Yes, Comey, McCabe, Yates & Rosenstein signed Carter
Page FISA applications. But so did Dana Boente -- whom Trump picked to
succeed Yates as acting AG after she refused to defend the travel ban.
Boente did.
Upon first read of the memo, crux of the critique is that the FISC wasn't
told Chris Steele was anti-Trump and that his work was paid for by DNC. For
a thorough explanation of why that might not matter (legaly) when getting a
warrant, see @OrinKerr here:
