Excerpts from article:
...Thanks to the Department of Justice Inspector General's report, we now know for certain what has been, for those paying attention, fairly obvious.
...The Steele dossier played a central role in the genesis of the Russia hoax and was used to justify extensive spying on former naval officer and Annapolis graduate Carter Page.
...The report was a disaster for the credibility of top leaders in Barack Obama's FBI, and it's also a big problem for the American news media.
...Or take NBC News's so-called intelligence correspondent Ken Dilanian.
...In the summer of 2018, he smugly tweeted, "Trump is wrong about Carter Page, the dossier and the FISA warrant."
...CNN Newsroom anchor and chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto did admit the Steele dossier might have been used for the warrant.
...He lectured readers that "the FBI would corroborate information in the dossier on its own before using such intel to justify the FISA warrant."
...He was merely following the lead of almost everyone else at CNN, all of whom were frantically trying to convince us that the dossier was irrelevant: Evan Perez, CNN senior justice correspondent: "You know, a lot of people will focus on the dossier, a lot of people will focus on a FISA, of Carter Page, and they'll say they were spying on a campaign.
...Shimon Prokupecz, CNN crime & justice correspondent: "Now Republicans were trying to claim that the dossier was key to getting the FISA, the surveillance warrant for Carter Page.
...CNN's Don Lemon explained that, by definition, everything CNN reported was true: Lemon: "So how is the White House and the Republican Party dealing with the articles of impeachment and an inspector general report that debunked conspiracy theories?
...The report found that the launch of the Russia investigation was legally sound, unbiased and that no spying occurred."
...We can surmise that, unless he's a pathological liar, Chris Cuomo didn't read the IG report himself.
