> [@Hamlet](#): > > Please, please, please don’t make me defend a brainless, partisan hack like **Easy Phil** , but, to my eye, Schiff’s memo certainly understated the reliance of the FBI on the Steele dossier (“narrow use”). The IG report is clear the dossier did not start the investigation, but it did conclude that it played a larger part in the obtaining of the FISA warrant. > > However, EasyPhil clearly ignores the corroboration and myriad of other information that also went into the obtaining of the FISA warrant, instead focusing only on the Steele dossier and ignoring everything else. He does that because he’s a dishonest idiot. > > I wouldn’t call what Schiff’s memo said a “lie”, but it was clearly spin that made a better case than actually existed. Bear in mind I really can’t be arsed to read any of that shit (400 pages ? In another country, that I can’t spin into a paper on medieval this or that ? Fuck that right now), but I still say those statements don’t contradict themselves. One says “the Steele Dossier was used to secure a warrant”, the other says “the Steele Dossier wasn’t really brought forward in the investigation”. Both of which can be true at the same time if e.g. the only use of the Steele dossier was to secure the warrant, after which point the investigation focused on information secured from the warrants. That might cast some shade on the propriety of the warrant if it turns out the Steele Dossier was BS, but if the warrant itself unearthed some prime dirt then that’s really neither here nor there. Only the beleaguered defense lawyer raises up on the propriety of the search warrant that found the 20kg of grade A marching powder stashed under the defendant’s bed. Because that’s all s/he’s got at that point. ---
