FBI hasn’t verified Trump dossier

Ya don’t say…

Wa Examiner: FBI and Justice Department officials have told congressional investigators in recent days that they have not been able to verify or corroborate the substantive allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign outlined in the Trump dossier.

The FBI received the first installment of the dossier in July 2016. It received later installments as they were written at the height of the presidential campaign, which means the bureau has had more than a year to investigate the allegations in the document. The dossier was financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign and compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.

An August 24, 2017 subpoena from the House Intelligence Committee to the FBI and Justice Department asked for information on the bureau’s efforts to validate the dossier. Specifically, the subpoena demanded “any documents, if they exist, that memorialize DOJ and/or FBI efforts to corroborate, validate, or evaluate information provided by Mr. Steele and/or sub-sources and/or contained in the ‘Trump Dossier.'”  read more

  1. What a surprise. The dossier was a red herring thrown out by Clinton and her cronies to deflect attention from their various misdeeds. The Clinton camp knew that this fabrication would eventually be disproven, but it served its purpose as a delaying tactic. But, as granny always said, the chickens are coming home to roost for the Clintons.

  2. But…but…what about those SEVENTEEN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES that we were told had signed off on this report? Gosh, it’s almost as if somebody was lying about that. Nah, couldn’t be.

  3. Yet Sessions allowed Mueller to go ahead with his Lawfare insanity,
    and I heard Sessions’ balls shrivel at the notion of “not enough evidence” to go after Hillary.

    ANYONE but Sessions.
    Hello, Donald, hellooooooooooo?!?

  4. Why bother, its only reason for being was so that all the usual suspects could use it to target Trump with a special counsel. The usual suspects include the Clintons, Media, Congress, FBI, CIA, DNC, RNC, DOJ, Mueller Sessions, and Rosenstein, etc! Hey, it worked!
