"So there we see two parallel tracks; one from the CIA, and one from the FBI. Both intended to provide a cover story for political surveillance and spy operations that preceded March 9, 2016. The CIA track created ‘crossfire hurricane’. The FBI track created the Steele Dossier. Both had the same purpose.
Both tracks originated from ‘unofficial channels’ and then transferred into official status through the use of two documents. The CIA generated the two-page “EC”; and the FBI generated the FISA application from the Steele Dossier."

Am I the only one bothered by this?
If this, in the words of President Trump, "should never happen again", I don't see how the CIA and FBI can remain "as is", much less the whole structure of our intelligence apparatus as set up post 9/11 ( which had people concerned when it occurred. Apparently those with concerns were right.)

This was an attempted coup d'etat.
