The court was not told why the dossier was compiled, namely as opposition research in a political race. That it's author was fired for breech of ethics, and finally that it had not been verified. That the Yahoo news article used as a separate source was from the same author as the dossier.
So? Not relevant! Especially since they had corabrating evidence.... did the court ask if the info came from a memo?
NBC is reporting that the court was told BTW!
