Lisa Page told Congress that FBI moved "quickly" to obtain a FISA against Carter Page for "operational reasons," according to a transcript leaked to @EpochTimes dailycaller.com/2019/01/11/lis… @dailycaller
Lisa Page said that FBI began pursuing a FISA against Carter Page about a month before it was finally granted on Oct. 21, 2016. That means the FBI had the Steele dossier for mere days before it began seeking the FISA.
We already knew dossier was unverified when FBI used it, but this timeline shows they had virtually no time at all to check out the Carter Page allegations.
Page's testimony also suggests that FBI started seeking FISA *after* obtaining the dossier from Steele. This would tend to support what's already obvious: the dossier was an essential component of the FISA application.

Top Obama White House Lawyer Made False Statements To DOJ About Manafort-Related Work dailycaller.com/2019/01/17/oba… via @dailycaller
DOJ says that a lawyer for Skadden Arps (known to be Greg Craig) reached out to a news outlet in Dec. 2012 to provide a report about Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. NYT has this article which quotes Craig: nytimes.com/2012/12/13/wor…
Craig falsely claimed that the reporters contacted him. But DOJ says he actually planted the story w/ the reporters. The whole thing is quite dastardly...

David Corn is pushing back on insinuations that James Baker was a source for him regarding his dossier reporting. A couple of points: motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
There's no reason to doubt Corn's specific denial. Instead, Corn's initial Oct. 31, 2016 report used StateDept official Jonathan Winer as a confirming source. Winer was in contact w/ Steele, FBI and Glenn Simpson.
Oddly, Corn also provided a copy of the dossier to Baker *after* his report came out. Corn says it was in hopes of getting someone at FBI to talk. He says they didn't. But can't figure out why Corn would need to give FBI a document it already had.

NEW: Democracy Integrity Project, the non-profit linked to Fusion GPS, Chris Steele and Soros, worked on a 2018 mid-term project with New Knowledge, the tech firm implicated in the Alabama 'false flag' operation. dailycaller.com/2019/01/10/fus… via @dailycaller
Democracy Integrity Project and New Knowledge partnered together on a dashboard similar to Hamilton 68 called Disinfo2018. Both groups have links to Senate Intelligence Committee.
Daniel Jones, the founder of Democracy Integrity Project, and a former Feinstein staffer, told the FBI that his group received $50 million in funding from a small group of wealthy liberals. But IRS info shows the group received $9M in 2017. NYT has reported that Soros gave $1M

FISA SHOCKER: DOJ official warned Steele dossier was connected to Clinton, might be biased

James @Comey, Andrew McCabe and top officials at the FBI & DOJ willfully/knowingly committed FISA court fraud in the lead up to the 2016 election to assist Hillary.
thehill.com/opinion/white-…
In testimony before the House Intel committee, Bruce Ohr said he briefed the FBI and other DOJ officials about the Steele Dossier and issued a warning that the intelligence in it was actually oppo-research bought and paid for by Hillary’s campaign and could be tainted with bias.
Remember, Bruce Ohr knew about this Clinton connection. Ohr’s wife Nellie worked w/Steele on behalf of the Clinton campaign to put those Russian lies together.

We now know Bruce and his warnings were totally ignored by the FBI. The vary people who signed the FISA application.

Just like with Carter Page, it appears that the DOJ/FBI cabal used cooperation in ops against Russians to paint a false picture for the #FISA court. This doesn't only clear Flynn, but should be the end of Mueller.
Also, IIRC and correct me if I'm wrong, the predicate for Comey telling McCabe to send Strzok to interview Flynn was that he was the subject of an ongoing counterintel investigation (and had a FISA against him from 2016), right? Totally bogus. They KNEW he wasn't working with RU.
Worse than the dossier, they told FISC that Page's work as a informant on an espionage case that convicted 2 Russians was "earlier contacts" or something, to make it seem like they'd been wise to Page for years, never telling them that he was an informant.

🔥This is the *first* time that a #FISA application has EVER been released.🧐

The #FBI didn't mince words, initially identifying the target of the FISA application as, "Carter W. Page, a US person, and an agent of a foreign power, described in detail below." 2/

#TrumpRussia
🔥WHOA🔥

#FISA app alleges Page did "knowingly engage in clandestine intelligence activities"...involving "a violation of the CRIMINAL statutes of the US."

Page was "the subject of targeted recruitment by #Russia🇷🇺...undermine & influence the outcome" of the election. 3/
