From the right: New GOP Memo Should Be FISA Scandal
Devin Nunes’ memo has been corroborated, Andy McCarthy alleges at National Review, by its sequel — a memo put together by GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley, which shows that “the Obama Justice Department and FBI used anonymously sourced, Clinton-campaign generated innuendo to convince the FISA court to issue surveillance warrants against Carter Page, and in doing so, they concealed the Clinton campaign’s role.” The memo reveals that the bulk of the warrant application was information from the Steele dossier and its author, a former spy. This, McCarthy says, is highly unusual: “In applying for a warrant, the government must establish the reliability of the informants who witnessed the alleged facts claimed to support a probable-cause finding. Steele was not one of those witnesses.”
