The FBI was warned sections of the controversial Steele dossier could have been part of a "Russian disinformation campaign to denigrate U.S. foreign relations," according to newly declassified footnotes from a government watchdog report....
Footnote 350 in the IG report addresses the FBI's knowledge of Russian contacts with Steele and the potential for disinformation. Steele had "frequent contacts with representatives for multiple Russian oligarchs, we identified reporting the Crossfire Hurricane team received from (redacted) indicating the potential for Russian disinformation influencing Steele's election reporting."
The footnote also indicates that warnings to the FBI's Russia probe became more pronounced over time....
"From the opening of the investigation, the FBI team kept accumulating exculpatory information. Yet rather than wind the investigation down, they ramped it up...Then it got worse. The FBI team excluded exculpatory information from its FISA application..."

LOL... and we know this from a document they “turned over” to us? They flip the finger at every FOIA and Subpoena, but on this one... they just gave us the goods? Yeahhhh Sure. LOL
No, this is just more of the same BS. The same coverup. “See, it’s like this, Steele didn’t create this, he was tricked by...THE RUSSIANS”.
You swallow this BS, then that means the whole “crossfire hurricane” was legit. They just got tricked...see?
The truth, Steele created the whole thing right there in his office. It was a deliberate scam, designed to sink Trump. The only Russian involved was Skirpal, an associate of Steele who was later poisoned with Fentanyl (not nerve gas) to clean up a detail.
Skirpal had worked with Steele in the past, and after serving a sentence in Russia for being an MI-5 double agent, he was released in a spy swap. He had been living in the UK for years. He helped give the dossier it’s “Russian flavor”.
The entire story is 100% Bullshit, including this. They were deliberate conspirators, not hard working patriots duped by Russia disinformation.
Also, their story doesn’t pass the straight face test.
Supposedly, the Russians supported Trump so they hacked Hillary’s emails. Ok, got it, so what do they do next to hurt Hillary? Why, they release a “dossier” claiming that Trump, the world famous germaphobe who they support, had a golden shower party in Moscow. But wait, doesn’t that hurt Hillary, who they stole the emails from and used to hurt her campaign?
So when THAT retarded conflict was pointed out, the story changed AGAIN. Now the Russians just hate America and wanted to hurt BOTH campaigns equally to “sow discord”.
Meanwhile, nobody looks at the flood of Ukrainians in our government, and the Neocon and Democrat hogs feeding at that trough. And nobody ever asks why the Russians wanted to hurt Trump when he clearly wanted to end cold war II, end our support of the Syrian jihadi rebels, etc.
The entire thing is a CIA/FBI/British intel lie.
No Russians were involved, except as victims of Democratic party and neocon BS.
The whole thing is BS. To dance along with this tune that the Russians were feeding disinformation to Steele is to accept the Hillary story from her purple press conference the morning after the election when she sobered up.
They also waited until they had Catherine Herridge from Fox to USE as the reporter about all things President Trump and the loser DEEP STATE.
Up until then, CBS had NO REPORTERS intelligent enough to write a useful article about the attempted coup.
“Captain Obvious asks why isn’t the President and AG doing anything about this?”
Because at best, Trump is barely in control of most agencies including DOJ. State is a nest of resistance. CIA and FBI have an unblinking eye aimed at him. The military has been in a constant state of rebellion. Hell the NSC launched the impeachment farce from INSIDE the White House. And Barr and the DOJ claim they are “independent” of the Chief executive and indeed, stand above him.
The Senate **only barely** did not remove him.
Trump has no “wingman” as Holder elegantly put it.
Trump is there to buy you time to prep. You either have 1 year or 5. make the best of it as it will be a “come as you are” party.
You are correct. There was no Russian involvement at all, unless a few shady Russians got paid by the Coup to make something look fishy.
It has long been established that the bulk of the dossier came from Glenn Simpson and Mary Jacoby gossiping about billionaires for the Wall Street Journal in 2007 or so.
Steele was just hired to pretend it came from foreign government sources.
Democrats always project.
I’ll make the case that there is plenty of collusion going on between the Democrats and the ChiComs.
The slow death of a real good journalist.
Pay her and bury her stories.
Wtitten by CATHERINE HERRIDGE, who used to work for Fox. Works for CBS now, which at times is better than CNN/NBC (faint praise).
All the more reason for them to push the dossier. There is nothing more pernicious than alleged public servants with guns and an agenda of their own.
“Democrats always project.”
Them: “Hey, wasn’t that fun? Let’s write a story it was actually Trump that did it, except we’ll say it was with Russian hookers.”
Boom. Indictments already done and sealed, probably for 50 years or more.

P
So does Twitter, apparently. They aren't allowing a link to the CBS story to be posted.
BAM! Crime committed right there. It is against the law to classify information that could be evidence in a crime committed by the govt.
Meaningless unless the traitors are prosecuted.

Disgusted with MSM and disgusted with DC.
The FBI needs to be re-booted.
