The article, which was published by Yahoo on Sept. 23, 2016, was “cited extensively” in the application, which also notes that most of the information contained in the story was derived from the dossier.

Seems as though everybody does believe it, if it was on the internet.

Reasoning from circular argument.

A logical fallacy which BTW, is the entire basis of the Russian collusion assertion.

The conclusion is also the premise, supported by no independent facts whatsoever.

IOW, it all made-up.

And the dossier just appeared out of thin air! No FISA judge asked about the origin of the dossie, or where Isikoff got his information and/or how reliable it was ... just believed the fed attorneys.

THINK about the anger/disgust of the (Obama appointed) judge regarding the feds lying in the Bundy case. She read them the riot act. I wonder if she or anyone else has followed up with professional responsibility (ethics) grievances that could lead to suspension or disbarment of the fed attorneys.
