Ex-State Department Official ‘Destroyed’ Records At Request Of Christopher Steele

DC: A former State Department official told the Senate Intelligence Committee he destroyed records in January 2017 at the request of former British spy Christopher Steele, according to a report released on Tuesday.

Jonathan Winer, who served as special envoy to Libya through early 2017, was Steele’s contact at the State Department. He arranged a meeting for Steele in October 2016 with another State Department official at Foggy Bottom to share findings from a dossier of research he had compiled on Donald Trump.

The Senate Intelligence Committee interviewed Winer twice about his contacts with Steele and his handling of the dossier, on July 10, 2017 and April 18, 2018.

According to the Senate report, Winer disclosed that he destroyed reports that Steele had sent him over the years. The Senate report also says that Winer failed to reveal when asked in his first interview with the committee that he had arranged the meeting for Steele at the State Department months earlier. read more

  1. An American State Dept. employee destroys records at the request of a British spy has-been?

    This is the kind of shit Sen. Joe McCarthy was fighting 70 years ago. Unfortunately for us, he was bumped off in 1957 and has been portrayed as a villain ever since.

    He saw evil at the highest levels of government and tried to do something about it.

    But he was covering for the Deep State…
    So likely he is not going to jail. But don’t rule a Car Accident or a assignment to IRAQ/Beirut
