"With respect to Steele, when the drafting process began, the Crossfire Hurricane team had only just begun the process of conducting the evaluation process ( described in Chapters Four and Six) to assess Steele, his source network, and the information provided in his reports. That source evaluation process and the FISA drafting process were taking place simultaneously, and the FBI had not corroborated the Steele information being considered for the FISA application. Evans and other witnesses told us that the fact that the source information in the FISA application had not yet been corroborated was not unusual in the FISA context. 268
*268 As described in Chapter Two, corroboration of source information is not required by the FBI's Woods Procedures. Although the Woods Procedures require that every fact in a FISA application be "verified," when a particular fact is attributed to a source, an agent must only verify that the fact came from the source and the application accurately states what the source said. The Woods Procedures do not require that the FBI have a second source for the same information.
This info doesn't jive with the constitution: "no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation". i'd like someone to tell me how probable cause can be established without verifying the information a source gives you. smh
the FISC has got to go or be totally revamped.
btw, this little gem would have no bearing on any of the renewals since they knew by then that the information was crap.
