### Steele Dossier Sub-Source, FBI Misleading the Court

- **Episode:** [1198: Self Certified](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1198-self-certified.md)
- **Published:** 2019-12-15

The primary sub-source for the Steele dossier told the FBI in January 2017 that Christopher Steele's reports were based on "rumor and speculation" heard at a bar, specifically disavowing the "pee tape" allegations. Despite this, the FBI informed the FISA court that the source was "truthful and cooperative" to secure two additional warrants against Carter Page. The hosts call for the abolition of the FISA court system due to these systemic deceptions.
