Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report confirms two things: The Steele dossier was an unreliable source of information, and the FBI used it as the foundation of their investigation into President Trump anyway.
The dossier, compiled by former British intelligence officer Christoper Steele, was so unreliable that the CIA rejected it as an “internet rumor,” according to Horowitz’s long-awaited report. The dossier was riddled with unverified claims that the FBI did not bother to investigate and confirm for themselves, Horowitz said, citing “at least 17 significant errors or omissions” in the FBI’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant application.
