It was included in the third application for a renewal of the warrant for surveillance of Carter Page. So the reason it was not mentioned at the first application was because it had nothing to do with their initial reasons for conducting surveillance.Do I have my GOP talking points confused? Was the Steele dossier (with the "pee-pee" tape) used to get any FISA warrant?
The White House narrative was that the dossier, and the money behind it, tainted the warrant, and all intelligence gained through it. But that was the fourth application.
So now, the LACK of the dossier tainted the first three applications...
Except for, you know, facts...
Well, you can't expect them to be consistent from one sentence to the next.
