"Source #1 has been compensated [REDACTED] by the FBI and the FBI is unaware of any derogatory information pertaining to Source #1".

Source #1 is Christopher Steele.

vault.fbi.gov/d1-release/d1-…
Candidate #1 is Trump.

"The identified U.S. person (Marc Elias) never advised Steele as to the motivation behind the research into Trump's ties to Russia. The FBI speculates that the US person was looking for information that could be used to discredit Trump's campaign."
"Steele tasked his subsources to collect the information. After Steele received information from the subsources, described herein, Steele provided the information to Marc Elias who hired Steele and to the FBI."
"Notwithstanding Steele's reason for conducting the research into Trump's ties to Russia..."

FBI knew it was opposition research and they still used it.
Dossier absolutely used for FISA.

This is Isikoff's September 23rd article.
Page's refutation of the article is used in the FISA for some reason.
Supervisory Special Agent at the FBI signed the FISA in October 2016.

Then they redacted the date, probably to prevent people from linking it to the texts.
Comey's signature, apparently signatures for Kerry, McCabe, Blinken, Brennan, Carter, Clapper, Rice and O'Sullivan needed?
Maybe it's just only one of them that needs to sign it, so Comey did it.

This one only has Sally Yates's signature, while Loretta Lynch's signature is blank.

Also in October 2016, date redacted again.
Rosemary Collyer signed off on the FISA in October 2016.
"The target of the application is Carter Page. The status of the target was determined in or about December 2016 from information provided by the US Department of State. [REDACTED]"
"In or about March 2016, George Papadopoulos and Carter Page were publicly identified by Trump as part of his / her foreign policy team..."
"In or about October 2016, the FBI suspended its relationship with Steele due to Steele's unauthorised disclosure of information to the press".

David Corn / Steele article.

FBI still considers Steele reliable.
Steele actually told the FBI he was frustrated with FBI procedures and said that Comey's re-opening of the Clinton e-mail investigation after the Weiner laptop was discovered (in late October 2016) was a distraction and would influence the 2016 election.
Second FISA signed by [REDACTED], Supervisory Special Agent of the FBI in January 2017.
Comey signs off on the January 2017 FISA, with spaces for Kerry, McCabe, Blinken, Brennan, Carter, Clapper, Rice and O'Sullivan.
Sally Yates signs off on the January 2017 FISA, with a space for Loretta Lynch.
Michael Mosman of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court signs off on the January 2017 FISA warrant.
3rd FISA renewal contains Carter Page disputing the dossier again.
3rd FISA renewal was signed off by [REDACTED], Supervisory Special Agent at the FBI in April 2017.
James Comey signed off on the FISA for April 2017, with spaces for Tillerson, McCabe, Pompeo, Mattis, Coats and McMaster.
Dana Boente signed off on the April 2017 FISA warrant.
Anne Conway of the Foreign Intelligence Service Court signed off on the April 2017 FISA warrant.
No differences (as far as I can tell) in the 4th FISA renewal.

Signed off by [REDACTED], Supervisory Special Agent at the FBI, in June 2017.
The 4th FISA renewal for June 2017 was signed off by McCabe, with spaces for Tillerson, Sullivan, Pompeo, Mattis, Coats and McMaster.
