Remember months later, it was james comey that said, oh, it s not verified, and it s salacious. as he informed the president elect. they also knew it was bought and paid for by hillary clinton, they never told the fisa judge. they also knew the guy who wrote it christopher steele hated the president and had an agenda. they also knew they couldn t spy on a trump associate as mccabe said without the dossier. they used it any way. they used it to impact a presidential election, using the opponent s bought and paid for lies. you can t write a spy novel worse than this. no, it s very disspiriting sean. the idea that you can have a campaign pay for opposition research, that then gets funneled over to the fbi so you can investigate your opponent, that s now how american elections are supposed to work. what s so distressing to me as somebody who is watching this is how the press wants to pay no
Chain of events, that s why i want people to focus on the timeline here, it s very very not only dangerous but i mean, what did they tell the fisa court? they didn t say this was political opposition research, they didn t say it was unverified. christopher steele leaked the information to a media source. the fbi said they cut off formal relations with him. did they tell that to the fisa judge? i think the real issue is as the nature of what they did but also what they did to the courts and i think that all has to be reviewed. and i think a special counsel is necessary to review this entire matter, we re not even including the bruce ohr the situation or any of that. you add all of that together i think it needs to be an outside counsel. sean: what happens if you know this is a democratic bought and paid for dossier and you know the information is false, and you don t disclose this to the judge on four separate occasions. now if i was the judge in this case i think i would be pretty
About the hillary clinton phony russian dossier. and glenn simpson testified that both the clinton campaign and the dnc were well aware about this press outreach. they all knew it was a lie. in other words hillary clinton wanted the media to run with this total false fabricated dossier, hoping to lie to the american people and convince you, that s a reason to vote for her and not donald trump. now let s get back to the memo. steele maintained a close relationship with the now demoted department of justice official bruce ohr. o er is the guy who had an office four doors down from rod rosenstein and was removed from his position for not disclosing that he met with fusion gps both before and after the election. now, bruce s wife, her name is nellie ohr. she worked for fusion gps. she was hired to dig up dirt on donald trump for the dossier. and it is also revealed during
Angry about all of that. yeah 50usc requires all applications for warrant are under oath. you can t commit perjury. more than that what s at stake here is the fact they utilized this information knowing it was not truthful, knowing it was unverified, not notifying the court of the entire process but they didn t do it once, they didn t do it twice, they did it three times. then james comey going to the president of the united states saying there s a dossier out there, i m not trying to do a j edgar hoover on you, those were james comey s words, you re not under investigation but he utilized that again to obtain the warrant. [ overlapping speakers ] it doesn t work both ways. sean: you re saying that he used this. what he called in front of then president elects unverified and salacious dossier, two months earlier he used to get the warrant to spy on the trump campaign and then the trump
And they deceived a federal judge. they knew this was a fabricated document, knew it was paid for by democrats and hillary clinton. they knew that the guy who authored it said he was desperate to stop trump. and the yet they used it. they signed a document in front of a judge that said we vouch for the reliability and authenticity of this document. in other words they were lying to the judge. that s a crime. 18usc242. it s abuse of power. and it s tragic that the people that we expect to uphold and enforce the law are breaking it. this is the proof. sean: so sebastian, this is what they do. they knew the dossier was false. they knew that hillary clinton paid for the dossier, they never told the judge. they knew the guy that was responsible, steele, hated donald trump, and didn t want him to win. they knew they couldn t spy on a
