The special counsel investigating whether Russia tried to sway the 2016 U.S. election has taken over FBI inquiries into a former British spy’s dossier of allegations of Russian financial and personal links to President Trump’s campaign and associates, sources familiar with the inquiry told Reuters.
A report compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele identified Russian businessmen and others whom U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded are Russian intelligence officers or working on behalf of the Russian government.
Trump was told by former FBI director James Comey that Steele’s report contained salacious material about the businessman-turned-president.
In a report published in January four U.S. intelligence agencies said they took the dossier’s allegations seriously.

I was under the assumption this was proven to be a fabricated scenario....
Great news! Sue the fake British spies!
Hopefully they can also sue John McCain for taking the dossier to the FBI.
No, Fusion GPS works as a contractor to the DNC and when the FBI asked (multiple times) to look at the DNC server Fusion GPS did the examination and turned that over to the FBI.
I meant the “dossier”...
Didn’t someone admit it was made up to show President Trump what he could expect???
I knew about the Fusion GPS....
I am not aware of that admission.
“and when the FBI asked (multiple times) to look at the DNC server”
The FBI “asked” and was told no in a spying national security investigation. Did Manafort get a chance to say no at 5am?
That was CrowdStrike.
The FBI pleads with Democrats, it does dynamic entries on Republicans.
Then other Republicans apologize for the inconvenience to the FBI.
Boris Badenov and Natasha are Jewish? Who would’ve thunk it?
