McCabe testified that without the dossier, there would be no FISA warrant. All other “evidence” would by default, be irrelevant. It’s single source is a foreign spy supposedly talking to unnamed Russian SPIES.

But now this memo can be used by every American who is currently on trial or appealing a conviction based on evidence obtained from warrants authorized by the FISC. That seems like kind of a big deal.

You realize you can’t be convicted without seeing the evidence against you right? Even with a “secret” court initiating the warrant? Those people already have access to the info used against them.

That's actually not true (or rather, is only true recently and in extremely rare circumstances)https://www.theguardian.com/law/2014/jan/29/defence-terrorism-case-fisa-documents-surveillance …

OK ... so, are you saying you think these people shouldn’t see the evidence against them? Do we live in a police state or a Constitutional Republic? You realize if the sitting President or his staff can simply be declared a foreign agent in secret, that anyone can be?

I'm trying to determine what the memo is alleging and why the powers-that-be oppose it, because I have a show where I try to explain this sort of thing to non-obsessed "normal" people.

If the primary piece of evidence was generated for money to advance a political goal, is largely unverified, and the source is untrustworthy, but none of that was actually presented to the judge, then the FBI/DOJ lied in order to spy on US citizens for political gain.

IF. That contention (that the dossier was the primary piece of evidence) has been challenged by the FBI+DOJ and the source of the claim remains classified.

Again. McCabe testified to Congress that the dossier was the essential piece of evidence, without which, there wouldn’t have even been an application for a FISA warrant. Whatever other evidence they may have had, by his own admission, was insufficient to grant a warrant.

Again, his testimony is classified, and "sources" (E.G. the Democrats) say the memo misrepresents it. So that is as of yet an unverified claim.

Doesn't matter whether it was essential or not; FBI is specifically barred from presenting any single unverified fact to the court let alone a whole "dossier" of them.

Do we know if they presented the entire dossier to the court or if it was cherry-picked?
