So mainstream journalism today tells us we should see the dossier, even if it's filled with junk, and read the Comey memos, even if they have no verification - and be prevented from reading the report of the House Intelligence Committee based on documents that it took the committee six months to pry out of the FBI and Justice Department.
"The details of Friday's memo also rebut most of the criticisms of its release. The details betray no intelligence sources and methods. As to the claim that the release tarnishes the FBI and FISA court, exposing abuses is the essence of accountability in a democracy."
The Obama Justice Department and the FBI used the unverified Steele dossier to convince a federal court to issue a warrant authorizing surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser.
Despite presenting dossier information as probable cause on four separate occasions - for the initial FISA warrant in October 2016, and three times in the ensuing months - the FBI failed to verify the dossier's explosive allegations and failed to inform the court that its efforts to corroborate the allegations had been unavailing.
According to the committee testimony of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, the information in the dossier was necessary to the probable-cause showing required to justify issuance of a FISA warrant.
Steele then peddled the story to David Corn of Mother Jones, and when the FBI found out, they fired Steele as an agency informant.
In any event, after years of surveillance and providing cover for the unprecedented snooping by the FBI and DOJ, Page has never been charged with espionage or criminal activity at all, He has sued Yahoo and the Huffington Post for slander.
Byron York offers up a rationale: "Put it all together, and Page was the easiest guy to go after. Plus, the wiretap would allow the FBI not just to listen to Page's phone calls but to read his emails, not only going forward from the date of the warrant, but going backward for as long as Page had kept them. If Page truly were the beating heart of a Trump-Russia conspiracy, then there would likely be email evidence the FBI could use."
The only reason he is even aware that he is/was under 24/7 surveillance by the panopticon state is because McCabe's FBI found it politic to leak that fact to the newspapers - via the coy disclosure that he briefly came under FISA surveillance as "Male-1" five years earlier.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is about to release his report on Steele, the FBI, and the dossier.
The Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General is about to release his report on the FBI and DOJ handling of the Clinton investigation.
