True.
But you are completely ignoring the facts of what took place after the Republicans stopped using them.
The opposition party candidate hired Fusion GPS and they created a completely false and unverified dossier on Trump. The opposition party, working with the Obama Administration, fed this document to the FBI as grounds to SPY ON THE OPPSITION PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. They lied and omitted facts multiple times to the FISA judge as to the source and veracity of the claims in the dossier in order to continue their illegal spy operation even after he was elected president.
