FBI Has NOT Verified Trump Dossier By Byron York 11/19/2017 FBI and Justice Department officials have told congressional investigators in recent days that they have not been able to verify or corroborate the substantive allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign outlined in the Trump dossier. [**Snip**] According to sources familiar with the matter, neither the FBI nor the Justice Department has provided documents in response to that part of the committee's subpoena. But in face-to-face briefings with congressional staff, according to those sources, FBI and DOJ officials have said they cannot verify the dossier's charges of a conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. The news appears to contradict recent statements from some top Democrats. [**Snip**] Whatever the case, the bottom line appears to be that the FBI and the Justice Department are not vouching for the accuracy of the substantive allegations of collusion in the dossier. Indeed, a careful reading of Schiff's interview with the Wall Street Journal suggests even the combative top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee isn't doing so, either. [**Snip**] That's fine, as far as it goes -- after all, investigators unanimously agree that Russia tried to influence the election -- but what about the Trump campaign? What about all those specific allegations of coordination between Team Trump and the Russians? Those were the most explosive parts of the dossier. And they remain unverified.

The Clintons have been traitorous and international criminals for years, dating back to Clinton as governor of the State of Arkansas. If they can use an unconfirmed dossier to launch an investigation and get FISA warrants to spy on Americans, why can't they use the Clinton Cash book to launch an investigation on the Clinton's corruption? If they are 'looking into it to see if it is true' for one, why not 'look into the other to see if it's true'? Double standard. We know that the DNC was not hacked by the Russians but from the inside by a whistle blower named Seth Rich. In fact, there is zero evidence that the Russian govt meddled in the election, let alone that the Trump campaign assisted or bribed them to do so. Anyone who simply accepts their evidence-free "assessments" as fact without strenuous vetting is functioning as an accomplice to war crime.
So all those reports about the FBI using the dossier to warrant an indictment of Trump’s campaign officials were BS?
OP Well if the FBI hasn't found it by now - a year on? - they never will - which is what I've been saying all along?
The dossier is RAW intelligence and not meant to be verified so much as used to begin investigation. There is very good reason none of us actually "Know" what is in it, it is nothing but an accusation sheet right now and will simply become a tool for Meuller to chisel with.
Yes, it was all right wing noise machine BS. The FBI and the NSA started watching the Trump campaign because of reports they were recieving from intelligence agencies in other countries. Indeed, the survaillance started before there even was a dossier. The noise machine fixates on the dossier because the narrative demands that they make it about Clinton, not about facts.
