Even Worse Than You Thought: FBI Knew Dems/Hillary Behind Dossier, Didn’t Tell Court In Getting Warrants, Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Yates, Boente All Implicated

"And this is why they didn’t want anyone to see it. This is killer and they should all go to jail, especially Comey. And Democrats can’t argue any of this away. And this is why Andrew McCabe was removed.
The House Intelligence Committee has released its controversial memo outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Trump-Russia investigation. Here are some key points:
* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
* The four FISA surveillance applications were signed by, in various combinations, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Sally Yates, Dana Boente, and Rod Rosenstein.
* The FBI authorized payments to Steele for work on the dossier. The FBI terminated its agreement with Steele in late October when it learned, by reading an article in Mother Jones, that Steele was talking to the media.
* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
