The dossier was bought and paid for by the DNC. It had a partisan origin which was not disclosed. Steele's time was bought and paid for by the DNC.
The FBI officials had clear conflicts of interest, but I guess they thought they could get away with it since its all classified.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> The dossier was bought and paid for by the DNC. It had a partisan origin which was not disclosed. That's a different issue than the issue of whether or not Steele’s personal strong opposition to Trump after gathering the dossier shows “bias” that negates it's credibility, which was the topic under discussion in this subthread.
- tomohawk 9y agoFunny. A guy is paid by a political party to dig up or manufacture dirt on another candidate, and you don't think that this would be something that the court might be interested in when its asked to issue an extraordinary warrant based on it? You don't think him being paid wouldn't bias him? Incredible. We now have the spectacle of a partisan organization laundering opposition research through the FBI in order to engage the full power of the intelligence community to eavesdrop on the opposition. If this doesn't signal the need for FISA reforms, what will?
