CONFIRMED: Obama DOJ Used Information From Dossier Author Christopher Steele To Spy On Trump Campaign Official

What? Us Worry?

Wall Street Journal:
Congress is probing the Obama administration’s decision to use research by an ex-British spy to justify, in part, surveillance of an associate of​ Donald Trump, as Republican scrutiny rises of law-enforcement actions during 2016 presidential campaign. 
In the final days of the campaign, the Justice Department used information from Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence official, as part of its request for a secret court order to monitor Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump and his ties to Russia, say people familiar with the matter. 
At the time, Mr. Steele was working for a research firm that was being paid by the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. He produced a 35-page dossier of salacious and unverified allegations involving Mr. Trump that the president has dismissed as false.
