| Congress Probes Whether Soetoro DOJ Used The 'Trump Dossier' Before Surveillance Court |
| 2017-10-19 |
| [Daily Caller] Both the House and the Senate are investigating whether the former President Barack Obama’s administration used intelligence in a salacious "Trump Dossier" as "evidence" before a secret federal surveillance court to obtain permission to spy on Donald Trump campaign aides and later his transition team. Leaders in Congress are trying to find out if the Obama Justice Department and the FBI introduced the totally unsubstantiated material alleging unsavory connections between Trump and Russia before the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court, congressional aides told The Daily Caller News Foundation. The FBI used the dossier to secure permission to monitor the communications of Trump associate Carter Page, based on U.S. officials briefed on the Russia investigation, CNN reported in April. The latest inquiries began Oct. 4, when the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence subpoenaed Fusion GPS, a political opposition research firm based in Washington, D.C., to appear before the committee and turn over bank documents. The committee is also seeking all Justice Department applications before the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court, also called the FISA court, to determine if any of the applicants rely on information from the dossier. |

| #3 Do we have a Government or not? There is a Legal obligation for Discovery, no? On your own "team"? YES. How did you let this run the Government in the first place is my risk assessment for the future. I guess you all are not interested in anything that matters to us so if the work is too hard for you, .... |
