The problem legally is that  the report was financed by the DNC, then  provided to the FBI who obtained FISA warrant to wire tap Trump.  Just a little issue being he was the Republican nomination for President of the United States.  This is why DNC and Clinton lied about its origin.  That claim of lying  is bolstered by the left leaning NYT but of course is cited as being from Fox News.  It is the ENTIRE legal  premise for the Mueller witch hunt which has begun to spin out of control with totally unrelated indictments, midnight raids, and threats to  indict people as high as attorney general or President's own family.
