*'''28 August.''' Serhiy Leshchenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, tells the the ''Financial Times'' of London that “a Trump presidency would change the pro-Ukrainian agenda in American foreign policy.” Leshchenko gave the Black Ledger file of the Ukrainian Party of Regions to Alexandra Chalupa and Glenn Simpson; Chalupa gave it to Mike Isiskoff and Simpson gave it to Nellie Ohr. When Isikoff published allegations about Paul Manafort from the files, Manafort resigned the next day. Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele used some of the Black Ledger file in the ''Steele dossier''.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/ties-to-ukrainian-national-a-unifying-theme-in-early-attacks-on-trump_2872609.html</ref>

*'''September.''' The Obama DOJ's illegal FISA warrant on Carter Page was built on an echo chamber of Hillary Clinton's opposition research among journalists, law enforcement and the intelligence community - all reinforcing each other with the manufactured allegations of the ''Steele dossier''. Michael Isikoff’s September 23, 2016 ''Yahoo News'' article, provided by Christopher Steele, was used to corroborate the Obama DOJ's evidence to the FISA court, which likewise was provided by Christopher Steele.

:*Isikoff’s article would later be used by the FBI in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) spy warrant application to spy on Carter Page, as if it were corroborating information despite the FBI knowing Steele was the source.

*'''End of September.''' Simpson and Steele meet with reporters, including ''New York Times'', ''Washington Post'', Yahoo News, the ''New Yorker'' and CNN or ABC. One meeting is at [[Perkins Coie]] office of Democratic National Committee general counsel [[Marc Elias]].<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/the-crusade-of-a-democratic-super-lawyer-with-multimillion-dollar-backing/2016/08/07/2c1b408c-5a54-11e6-9767-f6c947fd0cb8_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ca1b2370c49f</ref> Elias is secretly the front man paying FusionGPS on behalf of Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

*'''21 October.''' '''Carter Page FISA warrant'''. DOJ and FBI sought and receive a [[FISA]] [[probable cause]] order (not under Title VII) authorizing electronic surveillance of Carter Page from the [[FISA court]]. The warrant application was signed by [[Sally Yates]] and James Comey.

:*The bulk of the application consists of allegations against Carter Page that were disclosed to the FBI by Christopher Steele and outlined in the ''Steele dossier''. The application contains no additional corroboration other than a Sept 23, 2016 ''Yahoo News'' article the Obama DOJ/FBI represents to the court as supposed "independent corroboration" which was peddled to ''Yahoo News'' by Christopher Steele's himself.

:**Steele could have been terminated earlier for his previous undisclosed contacts with Isikoff of ''Yahoo News'' and other media outlets in September 2016 - before the Carter Page application was submitted to the FISA court in October 2016 - but Steele improperly concealed and lied to the FBI about earlier contacts. DOJ official Bruce Ohr continued to pass along allegations from Steele to the FBI after the FBI suspended its formal relationship with Steele, and demonstrates that Bruce Ohr funneled allegations from FusionGPS and Steele to the FBI.
