@Doranimated @benjaminwittes Some comments as I'm listening:
There were two investigations. The compartmented Task Force starting in June that lived at CIA. And the CI investigation starting in July that lived at FBI.

Marcy, Were the June 2016 FISA warrants filed at the direction of CIA? (Links to BBC and Guardian from early January)pic.twitter.com/ZH68hWeeoY
That story is unreliable (and all reporting on FISA orders is contradictory). But FBI would have had to submit app in any case.

The guy who wrote the BBC article, Paul Wood, has been in touch with Christopher Steele and John McCain (and the FBI?) on this issue.

I guess the big question is this: Did FBI/DoJ file for FISA warrants in June 2016 at the direction of CIA, without having reviewed the evidence themselves? Sure looks that way.pic.twitter.com/QWEj4B7NTt

You're assuming that that particularly version of the FISA story is the correct one. A FISA against whom, in any case?
-
You tell me, Marcy.
-
If the complaint is that the dossier has been used, uncorroborated, to get a FISA order on someone, then you must have someone in mind you're concerned about. Who is it? I don't actually think dossier used uncorroborated.

We'll find out soon, won't we. Nunes has the documents after 10 months of FBI stonewalling.
-
Um. Are WE supposed to find out what he obtained from top secret investigative files?
-
Secrecy is anathema to democracy. Ideally, the docs would be dumped, wikileaks style, on the public.
