McCarthy (who used FISA a ton when he was a prosecutor) is totally cool if FBI have parallel constructed the dossier everyone hates into predicate for FISA warrants (against whom, he doesn't say).pic.twitter.com/EqqFhPeZMH
Compare that w/@Chuckgrassley, who earlier expressed concern that FBI had simply parallel constructed the dossier for FISA orders (seemingly confirming that its leads had been used for same).

What McCarthy DOESN'T say -- but what would be really useful if he'd explain -- is one purpose of FISA is precisely TO conduct this laundering process, hiding shoddy consultants' work behind a thus far unbridgeable wall of secrecy.
For people who aren't as powerful and white as Paul Manafort, that laundering process can have really dire consequences, leading them to be spied on for stuff that's even shittier than that Steele dossier (and I'm a Steele dossier critic).
But with both Manafort and Page, their prior actions/associations had already (reportedly at least, tho this could be CYA leaks from FBI) reached the level where FISC would approve a warrant.
