"Former FBI Director James Comey told Congress Friday that the FBI had not verified the Steele dossier prior to relying on the salacious document to obtain spy warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page."
Further down:
"An internal FBI assessment conduted sometime after Feb. 9, 2017, also determined that investigators had “medium” confidence in the dossier, which had been “minimally corroborated.”
And further down:
"The FBI’s chief of the counterintelligence division, Bill Priestap, also told the House Intelligence Committee that validation of the dossier was in its “infancy” when the bureau used it in the FISA application."
They are admitting it was not verified prior to taking it to the FISC.
