WSJ source Roland00 Send a noteboard - 03/02/2018 05:04:04 AM

Read the whole thing here. (Use the twitter link to bypass the WSJ Paywall)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/house-releases-gop-surveillance-memo-1517592392

But let me highlight a specific paragraph from the WSJ reporting for it counterdicts the memo / certain talking points.


The memo is critical of Mr. Steele and notes that prosecutors in their application for the warrant didn’t explicitly state that he was working for a firm funded by Democrats. But the FISA application did disclose Mr. Steele was being paid by a law firm working for a major political party, according to a person familiar with the matter. Redacting the names of U.S. people or organizations who aren’t the subject of an investigation is a common practice in government legal filings, designed to protect privacy.

This flat out contradicts Page 2 of the memo Point #1, bullet point A.

So who is telling the truth here?

Just reading the memo is indeed the best approach, I just did too. Legolas - 02/02/2018 08:20:01 PM 681 Views
I find it hard to believe the Obama appointees in the DoJ did not know where the dossier came from *NM* AgentApple - 02/02/2018 09:17:06 PM 327 Views

Fruit of the poisonous tree wouldn't apply here, though. Ghavrel - 04/02/2018 05:40:44 AM 525 Views
