None of that matters to me or bears on my point. For all I know the Steele dossier is 100% accurate and will force Trump from office. I don't care. My point is simply this: the FBI presented the Yahoo News article as unconnected to Steele and thereby (almost certainly) saw it as corroboration. We now know that cannot have been the case because Steele himself was a primary source for Yahoo News. That is false confirmation.
And if the FBI passed this off to the FISA court as supporting documentation, then God knows what all else did they pass off to the FISA court the same way?
