then busting up devices so that she could continue. they wrote an exoneration before an investigation. the investigation happened in july. they were writing the exoneration in may. i will explain that if you want. sean: dan. it s interesting by the way how lanny never answers your question and immediately went to the conspiracy theory look at the red squirrel thing. let s stop calling it the steele dossier. it s not. it s the clinton dossier. the information if you read the memo tonight is damning. hillary clinton s team essentially hijacked the fbi and the doj to use it to launder information they were giving to a former british spy to get it in front of a judge to spy on their political opponent. that s not in dispute anymore after tonight. okay? the real conspiracy theory are people like lanny calling it a conspiracy theory. we now know this happened. this is so deeply disturbing i can t believe he is not horrified by it. sean: but, wait a minute. >to get a warrant on opposi
jarrett. let me start with you on the legal side. the bulk of the application, what they didn t adhere which was in the nunes house intel memo, steele, before the election, was known to hate donald trump. very important key. so, the bulk of information that the fbi gave to the fisa court was the steele dossier, which we know was unverified which comey said in january to trump was unverified. but they used it anyway. right. sean: what does this tell you? it tells you need a calculator to add up all the various crimes committed by the department of justice and fbi. they concealed vital facts to the court. they deceived the judge in getting the warrant approval. they knew that the dossier was phony. it was politically motivated. they knew that steele was biased and untrustworthy and had lied. when they signed under penalty of perjury in front
lanny davis called the unmaking of the president 2016. how the fbi director james comey cost hillary clinton the presidency. i disagree with the conclusion. but you are a good writer. i love the book. former white house special counsel to the president lanny davis. here what happens we know in this case. we can t even argue politics, especially with the clintons because you just love the clintons. but here s what we do know tonight and i think you will agree, actually. so we know that what they are reporting in the senate report is that mr. steele gathered much of his information from russian government sources inside of russia. we also know that hillary associates, according to this memo tonight, also were feeding steele information. we know that steele was paid by clinton and the dnc through the law firm. then, we know the bulk of the fisa that was brought on page and the trump campaign was because of the steele dossier. not verified. paid for by an opposition candidate. unverified i
using that information in the dossier to corroborate. sean: what about comey s flimsy excuse well he had given us good information in the past. before the fbi, dr. gorka, goes before a fisa court applying to spy on opposition candidate. they down played who paid for it they purposely hide that from the court. don t they have some obligation to see if it s true at all? beyond we like this guy and we worked with him in the past. they have an obligation to verify the application for the warrant is legal. mark levin said it write, with this document it s proven that hillary clinton bought a warrant to spy on an american. sean: stay on that thought. she bought a aren t with a. we will pick it up. our panel stays with us and much more. wait until you see this tape of congressman adam schiff ahead.
however, the fbi continued to still cite mr. steele s past work as evidence three months later of his reliability. at the same time, they are telling donald trump it s unverified. it s salacious. and that incident that led to the fbi suspending their relationship with mr. steele occurred after steele provided the fbi with the dossier information described in the application. now, the fbi further asserted in footnote 19 that it did not believe that steele directly gave information to yahoo news that published the september 23rd news article. now, in the next paragraph, this is what it reads. in defending mr. steele s credibility, to the fisa court, the fbi had posted an innocuous explanation for the september 23rd article based on the assumption that mr. steele had told the finn the truth about his press contacts and the fbi then vouched for him twice more, using the same rationale in
