“I have read some speculation that Grassley and Graham are less interested in what Steele said, and more interested in the idea that the FBI solicited false information from Steele, which they then used to get a FISA warrant.

If true, some folks at the FBI are in very big trouble.”

Yes, that's the reason for the referral. Steele is simply a two bit crook, who isn't even an American citizen. Trying him would be a fruitless effort. OTOH, using him as a foil against the DOJ/FBI to smoke out the criminals in the upper echelons of these agencies is spot on!

That is a mischaracterization.

Steel worked in MI6 in England as a high level intellegence officer. He was recruited directly from Cambridge University.

He is a member of the UK deep state.
