    I'm at a conference about to give a talk, so the Page stuff will have to wait. BUt this bit IS legit for the GOP to complain about. FBI should have known that Steele was source for Isikoff.pic.twitter.com/YzYY5SClpd

        I don't think you understand this. The fact that they knew an article that was clearly derived from Steele existed means FBI should have ... well, this is very basic.

        Yes. You made a box IDing the same language I cited that proves my point. Again, I don't think you understand what you're saying.

        I interpreted it to mean that Steele told someone who in turn told Isikoff. Is that not possible?

        Or that Steele gave his memos to his client (GPS) who then gave them to their client (law firm) and someone in one of those groups shared the docs.

        So what? Does any of that change the fact that Trump is Putin’s stooge? That Purin is in control of our WH?

        The FBI has to follow procedures to be credible. I, for one, wouldn’t want the FBI to be able to spy on me with shoddy reasoning. Credibility is important and so are civil rights.

        They corrected there wrong assertion in the next three FISA requests which is good.

        If you read further in the renewals, it says the government closed Steele as a source because he disclosed info to the press (Isikoff, presumably).

        Steele also got the report to John McCain who gave it to the FBI.

        They later say that Source 1 disclosed info to the press despite admonishments not to do so and that they stopped using him as a source after that (though they didn't think his info was unreliable).

        ...and, why did Steele go to the press? Because he thought the FBI was complacent with the info. Steele is a hero.
