April Doss was wrong and can't be trusted

April Doss worked for the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee and said she was an expert on all things FISA because she was a lawyer who'd worked for the NSA for a decade.

Last year she wrote articles in the Atlantic and the Weekly Standard assuring us that the FISA warrants used to spy on the Trump campaign were all fine and that Devine Nunes's memo laying out the huge problems was wrong.

Well we now know that she was either lying or saying things she had no proof for since the IG report has conclusively shown that in fact the FBI acted against it's own rules and went so far as to deliberately change evidence so that it favored their case.

The keen eyed folks over at PowerLine Blog pointed out that the Wall Street Journal hadn't published an excerpt from Doss's article:

[House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin] Nunes insisted on releasing a memo that endorsed a new conspiracy theory about how a Democratic administration had: abused the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] process by using salacious opposition research (with the implication that the funding source made the information itself suspect), incorporated that suspect research into a FISA application, and sent the application to the secret proceedings of the FISC without telling the court there could be bias in the information. Through this complicated string of subterfuges, Nunes claims, the Democrats managed to pervert justice in order to spy on the Trump campaign.

Over time, the conspiracy theory would deepen: Since the dossier included information from sources in Russia, that meant that the Hillary for America campaign had colluded with Russia to provide fake information to Christopher Steele, who slipped the fake news to the FBI, which then pulled the wool over the eyes of a succession of four FISC judges, each of whom signed off on further surveillance against Carter Page.

It’s an exhausting theory to contemplate, and yet one that many people, fueled by conspiracy-mongering rumors on the Internet about the workings of the “deep state,” believed.

The bias here is amazing. She actually said that "information" paid for by Hillary that attacks Trump is just as reliable as information from a non-politically biased source.

Everything she says about the Steele dossiers use by the FBI is wrong.

Finally paying Russians for dirt on Trump isn't collusion.  Given that the Russian sources could have been controlled by Putin that's an amazing statement.

While Doss is still being called on by CNN to talk impeachment there's no sign that she's going to apologize for her errors.
