The State Department official’s notes also indicate Steele claimed the Russians, Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov, were “sources” for the dossier.
Dossier author Christopher Steele identified a former Russian spy chief and a top adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin as being involved in handling potentially compromising information about President Donald Trump, State Department notes show.
In her notes, [Hillary Clinton/Obama] State Department official Kathleen Kavalec also referred to the two Russians — former Russian foreign intelligence chief Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Putin aide Vladislav Surkov — as “sources.” ...”
"..But Trump’s critics are wary of leaving the decision of what intelligence to release — and what should remain hidden — in Barr’s hands. Barr is a staunch Trump defender who Democrats say spun special counsel Robert Mueller’s report in Trump’s favor, playing down aspects suggesting possible criminal conduct. Mueller has also complained to Barr about his handling of the release of the report. …
Three significant deceptions by AP in one paragraph.
1)--Barr began his government service working at the CIA. He is fully cognizant of the sensitivity of some material.
2)--AP reported it but has already "forgotten". During the confirmation hearings Barr told the Senate that he would resign rather than fire Mueller without good cause. He is a straight shooter.
3)--Before Barr issued his four page Statement of Significant Facts he offered Mueller the opportunity to review it and correct any errors; Mueller declined. The written letter to Barr after the fact only brought to Barr's attention material which he thought should have been released in the initial statement. Via telephone conversation Mueller was asked if he disagreed with any of the facts presented and he did not.
These bums at the AP are fake news.
They should be worried. The Obama WH, Dems in congress and the people at the FBI, DOJ, CIA who were involved know what what happen and what will be coming out. What do they say “Barr will cover for the president”. if you declassify all the doc’s how would that be covering for the President. Putting ot information that may make these agency’s look bad are be embarrassing is not a reason to keep the classified. These same people were not concerned about Schitt leaking out info as fast as he could get it. put it all out and let the chips fall were they may. If you read the AP report it is nothing but 1st class BS. keep in mind that Brennan and Clapper were the clowns head of these spy agencies and we need to keep secret what they did?
Well we didn’t even need to predict this - the media narrative is that revealing the truth of what occurred and exposing the actual corruption is the real scandal - not the corrupt activity itself.
Facts being revealed is the real scandal.
Sounds more to me like the liberal “media” have fears their leftist fellow travelers will reap the coming whirlwind.
I don't wonder at all.
Former community organizer Hussein Obama was used to scamming whitey. The Constitution hating , Muslim loving traitor has no respect for our government and the scoundrel hates the majority of citizens of our great country.
As classified information is released, it will become obvious that Hussein Obama was pulling the strings on Brennan, Clapper, Commey, Lynch etc. to make his agenda rise out of his cesspool of an administration.
Lisa Page told Strzok that POTUS wanted to stay informed. I wonder WHO told her that? Hussein will become the center of the #SPYGATE scandal.
And they weren't just spying on Trump. The Obama "administration" was running a police state intelligence service and some stories are saying that the spying on Americans started back in 2012. #LOCKTHEMALLUP
