| Why Did DOJ And FBI Ignore Lack Of Evidence For Russiagate? They Fell In Love With Their Source |

| [The Federalist] It’s called "falling in love with your source." I did it, my colleagues did it, intelligence professionals collectively do it, and none of us are ever the better for it. Skipping a few paras and moving down to what the author believes (and I do not) may have taken place. According to every FISA expert available to our cable news networks, the FBI was obligated to provide only corroborated, validated information to the FISA court in seeking a probable cause ruling that this American citizen was an agent of a foreign power. The Desire Was So Deep, It Led to Concealment The FBI succeeded in obtaining that ruling‐four times‐using, as a central part of their case, the uncorroborated information provided by a source with whom they were deeply, hopelessly in love. They wanted to believe him, so they ignored his warts and imperfections. They wanted the judge to love him as much as they did, so they hid those warts and imperfections from the court. |

| #1 Mr. Steele and the foreign agency he represented had long sense been judged to be "reliable." The contrived, comic book stories and reporting were just a means to an end. The "concealment" aspect arose due to the utilization of foreign intelligence source information to gain FISA approval of the monitoring of a US Citizen. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. |
