      I disagree with some of your analysis, but it's very thorough... One thing you may want to do is read the Isikoff yahoo article. It's very clear that the FBI was leaking to substantiate Steele's claims.pic.twitter.com/qAWtMdS7W9

          Perhaps consider this "obvious" info when you address the "need for secrecy" argument regarding the inclusion of the Yahoo application in the FISA app.pic.twitter.com/CfyBS6Ic3r

          You have evidence that's not why it was there?

          I'm not sure what you're asking.. I think my overall critism with your analysis (which was otherwise pretty thoughtful), is that it doesn't scrutinize the FBIs role and knowledge of the Isikoff article. Clearly they had a hand in that article, yet used it to corroborate Steele

          I spend prolly 1500 words doing just that. Want me to copy it for you? Astounding you missed like a huge chunk of the piece.

          You almost come close to criticizing the FBI for possibly using the Isikoff article for the FISA renewals, but give them an out, claiming surveilled info could've made the Yahoo article irrelevant. 1) This is speculative 2) Fruit of the poisonous tree re 1st apppic.twitter.com/mAe1pkFKPi
