Can I ask a question here?  Why would Baker meet with a DNC attorney? Here you are, the FBI.  You have in your hands a Dossier on Trump that has been laundered enough that it came to you from a long time Republican US Senator (NoName) with the request for an investigation.  Right? So, for your people to investigate, you need to obtain a FISA warrant.  OK, so, you know how to do that, but I'm sure it seemed like some other-worldly voodoo to Baker. What would prompt you to go talk to the DNC legal folks?  What did you need to clarify with the DNC? Sorry, but something is not clicking in my head about this.
