Public evidence at hand suggests that arguments that the FBI’s warrant application — which was found to be robust enough to be renewed by Trump appointee Rod J. Rosenstein in the spring — was based solely or primarily on politically motivated research from Steele aren’t backed up by what’s already publicly known.
Three years before Page became an adviser to the Trump campaign, he came to the attention of FBI counterintelligence agents, who learned that Russian spy suspects had sought to use Page as a source for information, he was being watched since then.
All this memo is about is the renewal of that application, yet as we also know.. There’s no indication or proof that Steele knew who the client was for whom he was indirectly working for.
Trumps fucked.
