Bongino: For the first time, there is now written proof that the U.S. government knew well before the FBI secured its FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign that former British spy Christopher Steele had a political motive and Election Day deadline to make his anti-Trump dossier public, according to a new explosive report by The Hill’s John Solomon.
Solomon reports that records released through a FOIA request from Citizens United reveal that Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Kathleen Kavalec met with Steele on Oct. 11, 2016 and he admitted he had a political motive for releasing his research prior to the 2016 election.
This confession–Solomon writes–occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s dossier to justify obtaining a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
Steele’s client “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8,” Kavalec wrote in a summary of her meeting with Steele and and his colleague.
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said the House Intelligence Committee did not appear to receive the notes while it was investigating the Trump-Russia allegations.
“They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there’s a reason for it,” he told The Hill.
How did these documents survive the shredder?
@Tony R – That’s my question, too. That such docs exist isn’t as stunning as that they have surfaced now. Somebody reeeeeeally screwed the pooch.
The only thing that surprises me about this is that some people find it surprising.
It’s been obvious to me for a long time, and I assume everyone else here.
@Anonymous –
What’s stunning ain’t the information, it’s the documentation.
Pretty damning evidence being ignored by the the MSM (as expected). When will we hear that Kathleen Kavalec is found dead from a [double-shot] suicide? Hopefully she is in hiding.
Our God is an awesome God!

Believe it! The creator of all things, nothing is bigger than God. Documents not shredded? Pffffft.
Until someone is indicted, tried, and convicted, it didn’t happen. How much evidence is needed before the good guys take some action?
Duh!
The evil bastards figured on smooth sailing – what with the Media and the Demonrat Machine and the Deep State all conspiring.
Would have been slam-dunks in both Hitler’s and Stalin’s Socialist Paradises – so why not in Obola’s?
izlamo delenda est …
Isn’t this what Hillary has been ranting about the last few days?
About how someone can be a good candidate, run a good campaign and ‘steele’ have the elections stolen from them. Trump was a good candidate and did run a good campaign. While she and her conspirators just failed at stealing the election from him and now can’t stop throwing temper tantrums about the failure of their corrupt plan.
Hillary sure as hell wasn’t a good candidate and ran a low quality, low energy campaign. Figuring the fix was in.
Butt coluuusion! And OBSTRUCTION!
Unfit!
Constitutional Crisis!
Peach ‘em!
Lock ‘em in the basement!
