I suspect this dossier is an insurance policy against a court saying that everything discovered pursuant to the that first fisa warrant is thrown out.
The prosecutor could then say we would have found it anyway due to this other dossier.
.
I hear that bigly.
These clowns played and are playing are very high risk game though. On the plus side, it sounds like the FISA was serious about things- it is just that the government lied to the judge or committed a fraud on the court. It has been established for a long time that the FISA Court rejected a request for a warrant and then the government came back again and eventually got it. That is sort of on the record and I guess is knowable from looking at docket activity or something even though other information is redacted.
As we get closer to knowing the real story, leak/rumor is that that the request was for a warrant on Carter Page and his contacts. Allegedly, the government tried to get it just by establishing that he had been to Russia, even though he has a long history of doing business in Russia and elsewhere. Allegedly the court rejected it, so the government re-petitioned the court and buttressed the revised warrant with dossier bullshit from the Clinton Camp. Not pretty if true.
Now contrary to what the libtards are thinking, I am not stating that this has been established yet. I have only said that objected Rosenshleppe withholding information for six months to keep us from getting to the real story.
But the other point, is in regard to your point about their trying to game the FISA Court by switching in other possible sources for the same info even though they did not present it. My point would be if they used the dossier crap to support a motion that the court had already rejected- a scenario where the court had already shown that it was being meticulous and requiring solid probable cause and they flim-flammed the court, well, I am just thinking that is not going to end well. That sounds like the wrongggggg judge to try that with, even it goes on down at the district court every day where the local judge helps to hold up cue cards for local prosecutor who is hung over.
Hopefully we shall know more in the coming weeks. Very rough year coming up for the FBI/Clintons. It's rough right now. Then once this round is digested, the IG report comes out and starts another cycle. Then later in the year you start getting all the stuff surfaces from defense teams going after the fbi. And also later in the year, the Clinton Foundation investigation will be generating lots of facts and rumors.
The government is still dicking around with disclosure on some of this stuff. The defense teams will put an end to that or move the court to dismiss. If charged, Trump and others have an absolute right to see whatever the prosecution has seen, particularly if exculpatory. They are not worried about how Rosenstein and Comey end out looking like all the current fbi clowns are.
