- It does not deny that the DOJ COULD NOT obtain a FISA warrant from Carter Page until it relied on the dossier.

______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia
- The #DemMemo is political and poorly prepared. Embarrassingly enough, handwritten changes had to be made to correct the number of FISA judges involved in the FISA process b/c Schiff got it wrong.

______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia House Intelligence Committee
- It is clear from the #DemMemo that the DOJ failed to meet the required disclosure required of lawyers, which owe a duty of candor to a judge, particularly in seeking a criminal warrant.

______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia House Intelligence Committee Schiff

______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia Adam Schiff
- The FBI also failed to disclose ENTIRELY, that the "U.S. Person" who hired Steele was himself hired by the direct political opponent herself (Hillary Clinton). It only references a law firm

______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia #DemMemo House Intelligence Committee

- Instead of dispelling issues with Bruce Ohr's actions, the #DemMemo raises serious questions why the FBI didn't share this info with the Judge.
- Ohr likely he only shared it with other bad actors like McCabe
