Anti-Trump dossier roils Capitol Hill anew after revelations about bias
Washington Times ^ | May 10, 2019 | By Stephen Dinan

Posted on 05/10/2019 3:27:43 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Three Senate committee chairmen demanded answers this week about the role played by the Justice and State departments in furthering the goals of Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the discredited anti-Trump dossier that helped launch the special counsel’s investigation.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham fired off inquiries to the Justice Department inspector general and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, while Sens. Charles E. Grassley and Ron Johnson, heads of the Finance and Homeland Security committees, respectively, sent their own letter to Mr. Pompeo and FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday.

They were all reacting to news that Mr. Steele had communicated some of his work compiling the anti-Trump document to State Department employees.

Notes from a meeting between Mr. Steele and Kathleen Kavalec, who was then a department official, suggest Mr. Steele was intent on getting his information out in the public before the election, according to The Hill, which obtained the notes through an open-records request.

Some of the information was redacted.

Senators wondered what was redacted.

They also said the State Department notes suggest Mr. Steele had communicated with the press. That, they said, would contradict what the FBI had said when it used his unverified information to help win a secret surveillance warrant against one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Besides, his focus on the elections suggests a political motive beyond the national security concerns he had proclaimed, the senators suggested.

“This important information further demonstrates the bias of the primary source of material that was the basis for the Carter Page FISA warrant,” Mr. Graham wrote in one of his letters.

Republicans recently have renewed their demands for answers about Mr. Steele and his role in the 2016 election.

Eventually we will find the loose end and their entire
scheme will unravel...and there are a lot of loose ends.

No wonder they have their panties in a wad.

Nobody wants to tug at any of those loose ends for fear that it does unravel and expose their own culpability in the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Graham included.

This Kesalec memo was classified.

And now it's not. I wonder how Solomon got his mitts on it.

The drip drip drip of DECLAS?

More to come, sportsfans. Stay tuned.

It won’t make one iota of difference, the dems will always stay one step ahead of anything the republicans can do. They have mastered, along with the left-wing media, too always bury anything that might reveal their deceit. We that believe in America as it should be are doomed.

I’m sorry to hear that. The world we know will be
very different to our children if some are above the law.
