Sara Carter, a top investigative reporter / journalist has had her worked published many times and just came out with this one, which has been confirmed by multiple sources.
Thank God for Great Americans vs my groupie and his blatherites....
Was the DNC/Clinton campaign-funded dossier used to obtain Trump FISA warrant?
The unverified dossier alleging connections between President Trump’s campaign and the Russians was used as evidence by the FBI to gain approval from a secret court to monitor members of Trump’s team, this reporter has learned.
A large portion of the evidence presented in the salacious 35-page dossier put together by former British spy Christopher Steele, has either been proven wrong or remains unsubstantiated. However, the FBI gained approval nevertheless to surveil members of Trump’s campaign and “it’s outrageous and clearly should be thoroughly investigated,” said a senior law enforcement source, with knowledge of the process.
Multiple sources told this reporter that the dossier was used along with other evidence to obtain the warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as FISC. The sources also stressed that there will be more information in the coming week regarding systemic “FISA abuse.”
“(The dossier) certainly played a role in obtaining the warrant,” added another senior U.S. official, with knowledge of the dossier. “Congress needs to look at the FBI officials who were handling this case and see what, if anything, was verified in the dossier. I think an important question is whether the FBI payed anything to the source for the dossier.”
On Wednesday, Sean Hannity said he has also independently confirmed that the dossier was used to obtain the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant from three separate sources.

""In 2016 NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers noted there were numerous FISA-702(17) unauthorized “About Queries” being conducted by the intelligence community. These are queries that did not have an underlying investigation to support their taking place.
In essence, government officials were searching the system for information “About” U.S. principals not under any legal investigation. On October 26th 2016 Admiral Rogers reported those unauthorized searches to the FISA court and shut down the “About Query” process permanently. (Full Backstory)""
Umm, I don't even know who Sara Carter is, and don't care, frankly. Her information is just as filtered as anyone's is.
Look, I've avoided drawing conclusion on this investigation because I know what I don't know. Nobody knows everything in Mueller's file...nobody.
I will say, the longer this investigation goes on, the higher the probability crimes have been uncovered, IMO. Exactly who committed crimes, or what jersey they wear, I don't know. I just hope justice is served, or else my tax dollars are being wasted.

So you are either a ignorant Critical Pontificator or as most here well know nothing but a slimy fabulist weasel.
Not to long ago you asked for a truce after I busted you for multiple lies. But, like all small minded weasel liars you started up again after I quit calling you out for them.
Yea, I wrote "Senate hearings" instead of hearings BFD. Being the small minded twit you are, you only saw the gotcha and had no problem with Carnival Barking Gowdy who's hearings go nowhere call out others for the same.
Just like you agreed with Gowdy about Mueller doing a fine job and will come to the right conclusion.
So yes I will keep starting threads for you to to get off on.
Sara Carter contributes to Zero Hedge in much the same way Trey Gowdy contributes to "his Senate hearings."
Nice deflect and spin lying capon.
Sometimes it's just to easy, he can't help himself, fabulits and all.... hehehehehe
