Let me ask you an honest question. If the Democrats slinked off and conducted a secret investigation without any consultation with the Republicans, produced a memo which the Republicans felt was deliberately misleading — containing allegations nobody could ascertain the veracity of without having access to highly classified information — do you HONESTLY believe the Republicans would vote to release it?

He's a toady. A stooge. A shill. A water carrier. A partisan hack. I wouldn't trust anything he says.

your dossier is crap
it should NEVER have been used to justify spying on an american citizen
Verified: Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page met with representatives of Russian state-owned oil giant Rosneft.
The dossier claimed Page held secret meetings in Moscow with Igor Sechin, a Putin ally who is the head of Rosneft.
Page vehemently denied that he met with Sechin.
But in November, the House Intelligence Committee released a transcript of Page’s congressional testimony revealing he had in fact met with other Rosneft officials, including Sechin's subordinate Andrey Baranov, during a trip to Moscow in 2016.
According to the dossier, Rosneft officials used their meeting with Page to push for the U.S. to lift sanctions on Russia for its support of armed separatist groups in eastern Ukraine.
It is now known that the Trump administration sought to water down a proposed Republican Party commitment to send “lethal weapons” to Ukraine’s army to fight off the Russian-backed separatists.

What parts of the Dossier are confirmed ?
I mean, you (not YOU specificly, but as a pronoun) can't say the dossier was real and used in the warrant in one hand ; And in the other hand say the Dossier wasn't used. Because BOTH statements have been uttered and declared truthful but the same group of people.
I would LOVE to see the IC state on record which parts are true.

can't source ONE person whp will verify the bs dossier...
gee wonder why that is......
According to Paul Wood of BBC News, the information in Steele's report is also reported by "multiple intelligence sources" and "at least one East European intelligence service". They report that “compromising material on Mr. Trump” included "more than one tape, not just video, but audio as well, on more than one date, in more than one place, in both Moscow and St. Petersburg.” While also mentioning that "nobody should believe something just because an intelligence agent says it",[71][51] he added that "the CIA believes it is credible that the Kremlin has such kompromat—or compromising material—on the next US commander in chief" and "a joint taskforce, which includes the CIA and the FBI, has been investigating allegations that the Russians may have sent money to Mr Trump's organisation or his election campaign".
According to Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman Mark Warner (D-VA), the dossier's allegations are being investigated by a Special Counsel led by Robert Mueller, which is also investigating allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
In the summer of 2017, Mueller's team of investigators met with Christopher Steele. As some leads stemming from the dossier have already been followed and confirmed by the FBI, legal experts have stated that Special Counsel investigators, headed by Robert Mueller, are obligated to follow any leads the dossier has presented them with, irrespective of what parties financed it in its various stages of development, or "[t]hey would be derelict in their duty if they didn't."

Simple explanation.
The Memo was rewritten due to consultation with FBI agents.
Lou Dobbs: Our chief correspondent at the White House, John Roberts, telling us that the new version of the memorandum has been altered in some ways by the White House review.
Five professional members of the FBI were at the White House to meet with the Chief of Staff John Kelly to got through that. www.thegatewaypundit.com...

The stuff your talking about occurred in 2013, wasn't related to Trump and later found to be nothing.
As to the Dossier, I can't find ANYTHING that states it was verified.... Indeed EVERYTHING I read uses the phrase "Unverified Dossier ". Even Comey dismissed it's "factual" worth and used the word, 'unverified.'
