Any information from the illegal FISA searches could not be directly 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.

Christopher Steele would be the laundry for the intelligence information pulled from the U.S. system. Unauthorized FISA queries were passed to Steele by Nellie Ohr. 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.

Proof of this laundry process is found in a “search query” result that was actually a mistake. The faulty intelligence mistake was the travel history of Michael Cohen, a long-time Trump lawyer. The FISA search returned a Michael Cohen traveling to Prague, but it was the wrong Michael Cohen. However, that mistaken result was passed on to Chris Steele, and it made its way into the ''Steele dossier''. Absent of a FISA search, there’s no other way Christopher Steele could identify a random “Michael Cohen” traveling to Prague. The Cohen mistake created a trail from Chris Steele to the FISA database.
