And there was corroboration of some of those very important elements,” Mr. Schiff, California Democrat, explained on CNN.

Republicans released a memo Friday, drafted by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, California Republican, regarding the use of an unverified dossier to gather surveillance warrants on some members of Mr. Trump’s campaign team, including former adviser Carter Page.

Mr. Schiff, the ranking member on the committee, said the FISA court — which hears cases for those seeking surveillance warrants — was well aware of the political bias of Christoper Steele, the former British spy who composed the dossier.

Yep - Flake calls the “credibility” of the FISA court into even more question and thinks that helps his case - it just focuses on more suspects in this treason.

"I think the FISA court was made well aware of the potential political bias of those supporting Christopher Steele’s work,"

Obviously he doesn't know, but he "thinks". Then he uses "potential" political bias. Typical weasel words from a Dim.

I "think" that Schithead is a "potential" lying crooked politician, but I can say for certain.
