From Fox News:

The FBI formally documented the apparent anti-Trump bias of British ex-spy Christopher Steele shortly after the November 2016 presidential election -- yet despite the red flags, continued to use his unverified dossier in multiple Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court warrant application renewals, records obtained by Fox News show.


The partially redacted documents, first obtained by Judicial Watch, also revealed that top Justice Department official Bruce Ohr maintained contact with Steele for at least six months after Steele was fired by the FBI for unauthorized media contacts in November 2016. The records further confirmed that Ohr knew of Steele's anti-Trump bias before the 2016 election.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News' "Hannity" Thursday evening. "I know personally there's a lot more out there." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fb...ibility-of-key-source-to-fisa-court-docs-show

And I want to know every bit of it.

Why are you rehashing one year old "news"???
 
Fox News, John Solomon, Devin Nunes and Judicial Watch: a smorgasbord of firewood for conspiracy theorists.

There are lots of people who don’t!

I hear September is going to be a busy month.
 
Bias is irrelevant. Evidence matters. The question is did the FBI have enough evidence to investigate Carter Page's contacts with Russian agents? Horowitz is investigating that.

Lindsey Graham saying he knows stuff is not breaking news... Despite how much Hannity wants it to be. Otherwise this is just a rehashing of the 2018 hill.com opinion article.

I understand that Durham's investigation is moving along at lightening speed. I think we will get our answers very soon, as early as September.

Probably the same thing as every other time she makes claims to having inside information: A wild imagination.

It wasn't a hoax since it was found that indeed Russia was interfering with the election. The hoax is that Trump is a competent president.

The facts, whatever they are, are going to speak for themselves.

Just one 'small' problem with your delusions. Ohr and the FBI didn't come into possession of Steele's dossier until more than a month after the FISA warrant application against Carter Page was filed in court. So try again.
 
Two days later, finally some mention. Who knew?
Who is carefully evaluating their response?
