Breitbart: NEW YORK — Anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele visited the Obama State Department to brief officials there about the infamous, largely discredited dossier in October 2016, it was revealed during a Senate hearing.
Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, revealed contents of the State Department’s visitor logs while he was grilling Victoria Nuland, who served as assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs under John Kerry.
At the hearing on Wednesday, Burr asked: “I know you talked extensively with our staff relative to Mr. Steele. Based upon our review of the visitor logs of the State Department, Mr. Steele visited the State Department briefing officials on the dossier in October of 2016. Did you have any role in that briefing?”
“I did not,” Nuland replied. “I actively chose not to be part of that briefing.”
“But were you aware of that briefing?” Burr asked.
“I was not aware of it until afterwards,” Nuland retorted.
Nuland did not explain how she can actively chose not to be part of Steele’s briefing, as she claimed, yet say she was unaware of the briefing until after it occurred. Nuland was not asked about the discrepancy during the public section of the testimony, which was reviewed in full by Breitbart News. more here
They are going to need a lot more fingers in that Dyke, before this is over.
I’m sure that Burr found that to be a perfectly reasonable answer, although he ran it by Mark Warner first to get the final OK.
Squeak, squeak, the hamster wheel sounds like it’s going somewhere, but the truth is it’s just noisily killing time.
She chose not to attend a briefing she knew nothing about. Is that sort of like Susan Rice leaking “…nothing to nobody”?
John Kerry arranged for James Taylor to serenade the briefing. After the 60’s protest music bolstered the teary eyed plotters, they began their plans for the overthrow.
We’re going nowhere slow with this bullshit. How could Nutland choose not to attend a briefing she knew nothing about until after the briefing?
Oops, Thirdtwin!
Yeah, piss down my back and tell me its raining. I’ll believe you.
