Isikoff said his resulting story did not rely solely on what Steele told him.
“I talked to a senior U.S. law enforcement official who was well aware of these allegations,” Isikoff said. “For me, the key piece, the reason that this was a story, was the fact that the FBI was investigating Page.”
- - - - -
So this was a double circular source: The FBI used Isikoff’s article and the Steele’s “intel” and Isikoff used the FBI’s assurances and Steele’s “intel” to write the article! All based on one tainted source paid for by Hillary Clinton!
You just can’t make this stuff up!
NOTE:
“...in the controversial Republican memo”
“...the former British spy who prepared the dossier about Donald Trump”
Something funny above? The Memo is ‘controversial’, but I guess the Dossier is not, it is (implied to be) just ‘fact’.
Ironic, since no one is arguing the accuracy of the Memo, while no one has ever been able to verify virtually anything in the Dossier.
Subtle, but a GOOD EXAMPLE of what happens to our side when the Left owns the media.
>>Isikoff discussed with Yahoo News Editor in Chief Dan Klaidman his meeting with Christopher Steele, the former British spy
So he met with foreign government officials to try to influence US policy?
Do spies ever retire from government service?
Do they lose their security clearance and get cast out from their government contacts?
Do spies go “public” (identifying themselves as former spies) and go mercenary (for hire) as private investigators?
The memo that sparked a thousand memos.
Isikoff needs to go to prison for a long time.
after it was declassified by the White House,
How much more of his career is this guy going to waste getting played by Leftists?
I recollect sometime during the middle of the campaign but perhaps it was later a big ruckus regarding Carter Page making a lot of noise about being in the Trump campaign and I seem to recall The campaign denying Carter page was a member of the campaign team. This all seems to happen over a two-week period and then it disappeared.
Now they say the FISA warrants are about Carter page in 2014. I am and have been awfully suspicious of Carter page when I first heard him bragging about being in the Trump campaign. Now I think Perhaps this was a set up precisely to start a FISA warrant on the Trump people and Trump himself. In other words this was all a pretext to start monitoring Donald Trump and his senior campaign staff.
Is it possible that Carter page is a FBI dupe previously caught by the FBI, turned, and then set up to join the Trump campaign as a CI for the deep state?
Isikoff is expressing “surprise” but it is likely he was a willing cat’s paw...
A good question for someone to ask Isakoff would be...Is that writing with repeated stupidity or blatant corruption?
Page was being investigated in 2013 concerning his dealings with Russians.
Are they making a massive leap that since Page was later on Trump’s team that that is the Trump/Russia connection?

Emails reveal that Michael Isikoff, whose Yahoo News article based on the "Steele dossier" was used to obtain the FISA interception warrant against the Trump campaign's Carter Page, was secretly "working with" the DNC. https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/3962

A lot more coming down the pipe. I spoke to a delegation of 68 investigative journalists from Ukraine last Wednesday at the Library of Congress - the Open World Society's forum - they put me on the program to speak specifically about Paul Manafort and I invited Michael Isikoff whom I've been working with for the past few weeks and connected him to the Ukrainians. More offline tomorrow since there is a big Trump component you and Lauren need to be aware of that will hit in next few weeks and something I'm working on you should be aware of.
Since I started digging into Manafort these messages have been a daily occurrence on my yahoo account despite changing my password often:
