EXCLUSIVE: Transcripts of Lisa Pages Closed-Door Testimonies Provide New Revelations in Spygate Scandal
Transcripts of two closed-door testimonies by Lisa Page, the former assistant general counsel at the FBI, have provided new insights into the actions of the FBI, DOJ, and othersincluding CIA Director John Brennanregarding their investigation into Donald Trump.
Included in the transcripts provided to us is information suggesting Brennan was aware of the so-called Steele dossier in early August 2016, and that he included information regarding the dossier in a briefing given to then-Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Other key points in Pages testimony before Congress:
The FBI appears to have considered investigating President Trump for obstruction of justice both before and after FBI Director James Comey was fired.
Page says the DOJ refused to pursue gross-negligence charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server to send classified information.
FBI agent Michael Gaeta, head of the Eurasian Crime Squad, who received the dossier from former MI6 spy Steele in July 2016 is referred to in the transcript as Steeles handler.
The FBI maintained a previously unknown verification file for the Steele dossier. Congressional investigators did not previously know of its existence.
John Carlin, the head of the DOJs National Security Division, was kept abreast of the FBIs investigative activities through contact with then-Deputy FBI Director McCabe.
Page worked directly for DOJ official Bruce Ohr for at least five years and had met his wife, Nellie, once.
The role of FBI Agent Jonathan Moffa and DOJ official George Toscas may have been greater than initially assumed.

Page noted that she only traveled abroad once while she worked for McCabe, in December 2016, on official business in London. Strzok traveled with her, as did three other unnamed individuals. One individual that Page specified as not being part of the trip was Bill Priestap, the FBIs head of counterintelligence. Page was prohibited by FBI counsel for detailing the purpose of her visit.
