President Trump ordered the firing last June of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, according to four people told of the matter, but ultimately backed down after the White House counsel threatened to resign rather than carry out the directive.

Since FISA warrants are secret, how the hell do you know what it was based on? The rumor that it was based on the "dossier" is no more credible than that it was based on the drunken ravings of George Papadopoulos. The author of the "dossier" was a source of previous credible information and as such deserved attention from the FBI. Your demented delusions have no credibility. I'll wait for Mueller's results.
