Any information from the illegal FISA surveillance could not directly be used by the FBI because they would  have to explain how they gained it. All search queries without a warrant are [[illegal]]. The illegal search queries were funneled to [[FusionGPS]] through DOJ Deputy Attn. Gen. [[Bruce Ohr]], to his wife [[Nellie Ohr]], who worked with [[Christopher Steele]] on the ''Steele dossier''. The FBI needed to launder the intelligence product.

The FBI needed to launder the intelligence product.

Christopher Steele was the launderer for the intelligence product pulled from the FISA system. Steele then washed the intelligence product and repackaged it into what became known as the ''[[Steele dossier]]''. The dossier then was passed back to the FBI ‘small group’ as evidence for use in their [[counterintelligence]] operation beginning in July 2016.  

Christopher Steele was the launderer for the intelligence product pulled from the FISA system. Steele then washed the intelligence product and repackaged it into what became known as the ''[[Steele dossier]]''. Individual reports collected in the dossier we're passed back to the FBI as they were written beginning in June 2016. An official [[counterintelligence]] operation begsn in July 2016 using the doctored reports.

The FISA database returned the wrong Michael Cohen. A different Michael Cohen with the same year of birth as Trump's lawyer traveled to Prague in August or September in 2016. Trump's lawyer could prove his whereabouts at that time. And government sources confirmed it was the wrong Michael Cohen.<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/jaketapper/status/819187673961287681 </ref>
