Obamagate Confirmed

The story, according to the media, is not that Obama's Justice Department/FBI snookered FISA court judges and used Hillary's purchased Steele dossier to spy on Trumpworld.

Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele's efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior DOJ and FBI officials.

The initial FISA application notes Steele was working for a named U.S. person, but does not name Fusion GPS and principal Glenn Simpson, who was paid by a U.S. law firm representing the DNC. The application does not mention Steele was ultimately working on behalf of - and paid by - the DNC and Clinton campaign, or that the FBI had separately authorized payment to Steele for the same information.

Like prosecutors in a show trial who want to retain the testimony of an utterly discredited witness, anchors like Andrea Mitchell just kept praising Steele's "Highly regarded" credentials.

Steele was suspended and then terminated as an FBI source for what the FBI defines as the most serious of violations - an unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI in an October 30, 2016, Mother Jones article by David Corn.

Steele should have been terminated for his previous undisclosed contacts with Yahoo and other outlets in September - before the Page application was submitted to the FISC in October - but Steele improperly concealed from and lied to the FBI about those contacts.

You can almost hear the Jeff Zuckers talking into their puppet-propagandists' ears: Shoot the messenger, change the subject, talk about the "Motivations" behind the memo, the "Consequences" of the memo, what "Putin" might think of the memo, any "Resignations" that might follow the memo's release, but whatever you do don't talk about the information in the memo.
