A lot of spin in that article. For example, claiming that the FISA application using the known phony "dossier" was OK because it was subsequently re-approved, which requires new evidence. We don't know that there was any new evidence, since the secret FISA judge could have allowed it without any new evidence. Further approval would never even have happened if not for the initial approval, which required the "dossier." It is an indictment of the whole FISA court process.

Victor Davis Hanson has a long article explaining the significance.

The full article

The key comment:

Quote:If all this is not a scandal — then the following protocols are now considered permissible in American electoral practice and constitutional jurisprudence: An incumbent administration can freely use the FBI and the DOJ to favor one side in a presidential election, by buying its opposition research against the other candidate, using its own prestige to authenticate such a third-party oppositional dossier, and then using it to obtain court-ordered wiretaps on American citizens employed by a candidate’s campaign — and do so by deliberately misleading the court about the origins and authors of the dossier that was used to obtain the warrants.

"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
