John Solomon at The Hill<\/a> posted an article today that reveals that much of what the FBI has put forth about the spying on the Trump campaign is untrue.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump<\/a><\/span> dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for Hillary Clinton<\/a><\/span>\u2019s campaign was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes<\/a> taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier<\/a> to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page<\/a> and the campaign\u2019s contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article points out one obvious lie in the dossier:<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump-Russia collusion was blatantly false.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In her typed summary, Kavalec wrote<\/a> that Steele told her the Russians had constructed a \u201ctechnical\/human operation run out of Moscow targeting the election\u201d that recruited emigres in the United States to \u201cdo hacking and recruiting.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

She quoted Steele as saying, \u201cPayments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami,\u201d according to a copy of her summary memo obtained under open records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United. Kavalec bluntly debunked that assertion in a bracketed comment: \u201cIt is important to note that there is no Russian consulate in Miami.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are supposed to believe that the FBI is too stupid to pay attention to an obvious lie that was noted in the summary.<\/p>\n

The fiction in the dossier continues:<\/p>\n

Steele offered Kavalec other wild information that easily could have been debunked before the FISA application \u2014 and eventually was, in many cases, after the media reported the allegations \u2014 including that:<\/strong><\/p>\n
