Reporter who broke news of Steele dossier used to surveil ex-Trump aide calls its claims largely 'false'

The salacious and unverified opposition research dossier cited by the FBI as its main justification to surveil a top Trump aide contains many claims that are "likely false," according to the Yahoo News reporter who was among the first to break the news of the dossier's existence.

Michael Isikoff's statements on John Ziegler's Free Speech Broadcasting podcast came a day before Michael Cohen adviser Lanny Davis reiterated that Cohen has never been to Prague -- where, according to the dossier, he traveled to arrange a payment to Russian hackers during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The dossier was created by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and funded by the firm Fusion GPS -- which was retained by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

It reads like it was written by a child but it has been used to stall, intimidate and investigate an Administration elected by the people (not the illegal aliens in California). Thanks to the biased “media”, the Democratic party, their acolytes in Hollywood and the sore loser and self-praised self-designated most important man in America, John McCain.

“largely” false! hardly the point anyway.

Isikoff, you were part of a plot by HRC/DNC/Obama admin/intel agencies, etc to stop Donald Trump becoming President.

you lost, Isikoff.

Michael Isikoff . . . biggest hack of all time.

Because he had his head so far up and beholden to the clintons did Drudge smoke him on Monica.

How many times will the record show you were used by clinton and podesta operatives.

Michael now and forever, go pound sand with your BFF David Corn and STFU!

Pillow talk at the Isikoff household:

Spouse - Mary Ann Akers- WaPo political gossip columnist- The Sleuth

C’mon Mikey. This story is a year late. You’re just covering your lying ass. Fibbing to the diary won’t work.

There is absolutely nothing in this article that hasn't been thoroughly analyzed and discussed on several evening Fox News programs and other outlets for the past two years. However, the fact that the now liberal swamp scum Fox News leaders are allowing it to be published by an obscure reporter may be significant.

It has obviously become "too big to ignore". It is, just as obviously, an important facet of the entire "Russia, Russia" attempted narrative. The hope in the swamp is now that it can be obscurely acknowledged and then ignored, delegated to the "Old News" that dies, "Not with a bang, but a whimper". I, for one, expect to see a bang coming.
