Rep. Adam Schiff: FISA court knew of political bias, never saw ‘salacious’ part of dossier

Rep. Adam Schiff said Tuesday that the FISA court never saw the more salacious aspects of the dossier. “The salacious video and all that stuff that was not part of the FISA applications, only the parts pertained to Carter Page. 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.

“I think the FISA court was made well aware of the potential political bias of those supporting Christopher Steele’s work,” he said.

Houston, we have a problem... If that's the case, we need to impeach a judge or two or three on the FISA court. Political documents with their known bias should not be considered as justification for a warrant by any judge.

Democrats are power crazed psychopaths. Especially when the lose big. They are dangerous. In addition to hurting the USA, they shoot Congressmen while they play baseball and beat up Senators as they mow the yard. Psychopaths.

How is this information NOT classified?

Unless, of course, it is pure lies and speculation.

One of the big questions of our time is: Are we experiencing an epidemic of mental illness?

Christopher Lasch wrote his remarkable “The Culture of Narcissism” back in the 1970s. I believe this difficult book was in some ways prophetic.

Nunes said that the application had a footnote indicating that the source of the dossier was “political” IIRC. The fact that the application’s authors took the trouble to note that, parked it in a footnote and did not give any indication that the dossier was paid for by the DNC / Hillary is actually worse for the FBI / DOJ because it means they thought about the issue and did a CYA exercise in saying as little as they could get away with without either attracting scrutiny by the judge or opening themselves up to accusations of concealing the fact. Dirty.

No, it means that the judge would have laughed them out of court if he’d been told, “but your honor, you don’t understand, our application is better than before when it was denied, now we have golden showers!”

And there was corroboration

No there wasn't.

What Schiff very carefully and deliberately left out was the fact that the only "corroboration" consisted off a Yahoo News story that was planted by Steele himself.

In other words, the FISA application used Steele to back up Steele.

Don’t believe a word of what Schiff for brains says.

Pull the FISA applications and lets see it.

Carter Page, Naval Academy grad, never did a single hostile act against America and look what the Dems did to him.

WHy is ANY of this classified in the first place? Everything we see is nothing more or less than Evidence of Criminal Activity. You cannot Hide Criminal Activity by Classifying the Evidence as “National Security”

RELEASE ALL OF IT MR PRESIDENT!~!!

Title 1 Authority gives them permission to examine every contact you ever had or are having, including your contacts and anyone they are in contact with, basically EVERYONE in your sphere, regardless of how tedious the connection is.

YES, this means that Hannity and Rush BOTH were under “Electronic Surveillance” the entire Campaign because they are friends and spoke to one another. What we don’t know is how many if not all of them were unmasked.
