The stove-piping of the now infamous Fusion GPS dossier into a US FISA national security court seems to be a fatal blunder.
Fusion GPS, through collaboration with its Russian intelligence contacts, assembled the dossier.
Fusion GPS had previously been employed by the FBI but had been fired due to their practice of leaking to the media.
Through DoJ official Bruce Ohr and other back channels, the dossier was channeled back into the government and presented as legitimate evidence before a FISA court to obtain surveillance warrants for Carter Page.
Even though the assembly of the dossier was conducted through a proxy, Fusion GPS, political opponents of Donald Trump were indirectly collaborating with Russian intelligence, MONTHS before they attempted to entrap and frame then-candidate Donald Trump.
As a related note, Fusion GPS had previously been representing Russian interests to lobby for overturning the Magnitsky Act.
The Russian Attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, has been linked to that lobbying effort in affiliation with Fusion GPS, well before the time that the dossier was produced.
It seems to be no stretch to believe that her visit at Trump Tower was part of an entrapment setup, orchestrated by political opponents of Donald Trump in collaboration with Fusion GPS and, indirectly, Russian intelligence.
Criminal charges certainly seem applicable to those parties who participated in these activities.
