A memo that is purported to show government surveillance abuse and was at the center of an intense power struggle between congressional Republicans and the FBI has been declassified ahead of its expected release later Friday, Fox News has learned.
According to sources, the memo includes testimony from a high-ranking government official that without the infamous Trump dossier, the FBI and DOJ would not have secured surveillance warrants to spy on at least one member of the Trump team.
It also claims the FBI and DOJ used media reporting to lend credibility to the dossier, while the firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, briefed major American news outlets to include New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, New Yorker, Yahoo and Mother Jones.
The memo shoes that after former British spy Christopher Steele was cut off from the FBI, he continued to pass information, as did Fusion GPS, through Justice Department Official Bruce Ohr. Ohr’s wife Nellie began working for Fusion GPS as early as May 2016.
It also claims evidence that Steele has a personal animus for the President Trump.

Its a confirmation of what has been known for a long time.
What else is in there?
well, where is it??
I dunno....I don’t see anything in there we didnt already know.
FBI officials said the memo did not materially misstate any facts, remember.
FBI has admitted it and DOJ obstructed Congress.
They’re saving the meat for the pundits. There are some public sources available on the net according to Reddit, but I’m not seeing any links.
“while the firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, briefed major American news outlets to include New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, New Yorker, Yahoo and Mother Jones. “
Time to decamp some publications to federal prison on the sunny shores of Cuba.
Until now, it this information has been considered rumor and partisan gossip. With an official report from Congress, it moves it to an arena that cannot be easily dismissed.
Sedition. Time to start hanging people.
The real juice here is that FBI knew the source use to apply for the warrants was a Democrat activist pedaling phony information
They knew it was bogus before they even started. This is a much greater abuse of power then Watergate.
The benefit is that it is now much more difficult for the media to ignore this. They will still try (unless there are some surprises yet to come in the full memo).
This is a massive fraud on the FISA court. Fusion GPS creates a crap document, then talks it up to the New York Times and that ilk, and FBI and DOJ then use those news reports as proof of the validity of said crap document.
Should be renamed Federal Bureau of Innuendo.
It’s inconceivable to see that this corruption has over taken a once revered law enforcement organization.
Eliot Ness couldn’t be corrupted by mob payoffs.
FBI current leadership did it for free for the Democrats to over throw the government.
The deep state is trying to crash the markets today.
The intentional deception of the FISA Court based on a media ginned up fake dossier political hit job for permission to spy on political opponents.
Everyone needs to reflect over the past two weeks and all the Excuses used to LIE about the contents of the Memo in order to keep the PUBLIC from finding out what the hell was going on.
The FBI
The DOJ
The DNC
Schiff
Pelosi
Schumer
Wyden
FLAKE
Were are the “classified” materials they said was in it?
Were are the sources and methods that were exposed?
Every Freaking excuse they used was a flat out Bald Faced Lie to cover, especially from the RAT party that they Colluded with outside people to overturn a Presidential Election and violate many American Citizens 4th Amendment rights.
Grab some Timber America, we got some Gallows to build!
They took off the Fusion GPS title off the dossier and substituted the FBI seal and resubmitted the request to the FISA Court which believed they were presented with an FBI document.
“....The deep state is trying to crash the markets today.....”
Somebody is trying very hard to do....
I suspect their buddies, the evil triumvirate; Bezos, Buffett, Soros are behind most of it today. Manipulation should be a serious crime and punishable as such.
I sort of figured that would be their next move. That or another false flag attack.
Stand TALL Comey, in other words FOAD. How about we request to the Kansas Sate Assembly that the road that leads to Leavenworth be renamed Comey Road??
It’s much worse than ‘irregular’ conduct.
These people (and some by their own admission), have broken long standing laws, and are criminals.
