It's been ten months since Washington learned that former British spy Christopher Steele, author of the so-called "Trump dossier," took the Hillary Clinton-funded opposition research document to the FBI, which considered sponsoring the anti-Trump work at the height of the 2016 presidential campaign. Now, congressional investigators have made what is perhaps an even more consequential discovery: Knowledge of the dossier project, during the campaign, extended into the highest levels of the Obama Justice Department.
The department's Bruce Ohr, a career official, served as associate deputy attorney general at the time of the campaign. That placed him just below the deputy attorney general, Sally Yates, who ran the day-to-day operations of the department. In 2016, Ohr's office was just steps away from Yates, who was later fired for defying President Trump's initial travel ban executive order and still later became a prominent anti-Trump voice upon leaving the Justice Department.

And why is nobody curious about that interesting intersection of McCain, Steele, and Tim Kaine at that security conference in Halifax the August before the election...
0bama - Russia -> COLLUSION
The FBI and some in the MSM had various forms of the dossier well before McCain had it. The press couldn’t run with it because of the unverified salacious material in it. They sat on it hoping it could be verified. New reports suggest the FBI had early versions of the report in the summer of 2016..
No question.
Most do seem to leave McCain out of this story. But has it ever been established whether the FBI already had the dossier before McCain delivered a copy to Comey? That's an interesting question.
I just love that $h!t eatin grin the Trumpster is wearing.
I believe the FBI already had a copy. They just wanted to set McCain up as the initiator. Given McCain's hatred of Trump, that wasn't a hard thing to do.
Yup, McCain was the dupe.
Wake me when somebody in authority actually does something about it. So far all I see is a lot of handwringing and grandstanding. Mueller keeps rolling along hiring yet another lawyer who represented the Clinton’s and/or their foundation. Nobody is stopping what clearly needs to end...Mueller’s male bovine excrement.
In order to cover up their illegal spying on an opponent’s political campaign during a presidential election. AND YET EVEN OUTSPENDING TRUMP 2-1 THEY STILL LOST THE ELECTION!!!
Unbelievable. Where is Jeff Sessions? Why hasn’t he come out of hiding
and reassured Americans the DOJ and FBI will be fixed.
He is AWOL on the biggest DOJ and FBI scandals in U.S. history.
Either AWOL or hiding.
You have to hand it to whoever decided to bait McCain. It worked beautifully.
Thanks for the ping. What a cabal of criminals blatantly continuing to undermine the rule of law - the foundation of the republic.
Bttt
please, there is no doubt Obamma is a traitor to the USA
ok, if the intelligence agencies are in this coup, then we need to lie detector every friggin one of them..
Kick out the BS and start clean.
time to get real or die as a country.
Reportedly, JFK was blackmailed into selecting LBJ as his running mate in 1960 with J. Edgar Hoover’s help. Kennedy had intended to pick Stuart Symington of Missouri.
