The fake dossier was then given to intelligence agencies, the FBI, journalists and the Justice Department for dissemination to the world at large. The FBI and Justice Department with its Obama-era Deep State anti-Trump resisters, used the dossier to gain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance warrant to spy on Trump and his entourage before the election. It failed, like all other Fake News, to derail Trump’s campaign but it had a back-up role – to delegitimise and hopefully bring down the new President through impeachment, or really bad PR, or, at the very least, to gum-up the gears of the Trump Presidency by tying up the Administration with endless prosecution, indictments, allegations, rumours, and the threat of impending doom.
