Perpetrating the production of a fraudulent National Intelligence Assessment in order to attack a duly elected President and maliciously prosecute those around him is inexcusable:
Declassified Senate Intelligence report shows strong doubts about Steele Dossier in December 2016
CIA officials expressed strong doubts over FBI officials' efforts to include the Steele dossier in a report
By Tyler Olson | Fox News
A declassified report from the Senate Intelligence Committee released on Wednesday revealed internal conversations about the notorious Steele dossier between the FBI and CIA during the writing of an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference and potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
The Steele dossier was at the center of the applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump advisor Carter Page for alleged ties to Russia. The first application occurred in October 2016 and, according to a 2019 report by Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz, "relied entirely on" the Steele dossier information, but "that the FBI did not have information corroborating the specific allegations against Carter Page in Steele's reporting..."
The FISA warrants against Page were renewed three times in January, April and June of 2017. But the Wednesday report shows that there were strong doubts over the reliability of the unverified Steele reporting even in December 2016, and that they were circulating among high-ranking officials in the intelligence community, including those at the FBI.
The report, the fourth in a series of such releases by Senate Republicans, adds more detail to information previously reported by Horowitz, whose December 2019 report showed that former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe each wanted the Steel dossier materials included in the body of the ICA. After pushback from CIA officials involved in the effort, who according to Horowitz "expressed concern about the lack of vetting for the Steele election reporting and asserted it did not merit inclusion in the body of the report," the material was included in a short appendix.
