Clinton associates fed information to Trump dossier author Steele, memo says

Clinton associates were "feeding" allegations to former British spy Christopher Steele at the same time he was compiling the controversial anti-Trump dossier paid for by the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign, according to an unclassified memo from senior Senate Republicans who recently made a criminal referral.

Those Republicans, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had asked the Justice Department in January to investigate Steele based on evidence they say suggests he lied to the FBI about his contacts with the media (a violation of 18 USC 1001) -- or the FBI misrepresented Steele’s statements.

The lawmakers are now asking the FBI for an emergency review of their criminal referral so it can be made public, with limited redactions.

Steele already is under scrutiny over the unverified Trump dossier, which a House Intelligence Committee document released last Friday alleged was at the heart of the FBI and DOJ’s request for a surveillance warrant for a Trump associate.

The memo from Grassley and Graham, which is now public for the first time, provides new insight into Steele’s circle of contacts during that time. While heavily redacted, the memo states Steele said he received information that came from "a foreign sub-source who 'is in touch with (redacted), a contact of (redacted), a friend of the Clintons, who passed it to (redacted).”

Steele said he received information that came from "a foreign sub-source who 'is in touch with (redacted), a contact of (redacted), a friend of the Clintons, who passed it to (redacted).”

Huh ? A friend, who knows the uncle of a cousin of an acquaintance of his boss who is a friend of the Clintons, who passed it to...

man, you should be able to get at least 100 warrants off of that.

Jail for hillary. Of course she won’t go. She has money and influence. And can get people disappeared.

[Signalman]

Dick Morris said that the dossier was actually written by Clinton and her supporters.

They should just leak it unredacted just like Schiff did with the minority intel report that was provided to NBC without going thru the same process the Nunes memo (majority report) did. The more sunlight the better.

The wife and I have been in stitches all weekend watching YouTube...Lionel Nation. He has been a great comic relief and has kept me from shooting the T.V.!

Seems like the clintons/0bama did whatever they wanted.
They had the highest law enforcement officials lending a hand. While the msm gives cover to all involved.
No wonder they thought they were invincible.
To bad the EC and Trump messed up their little plan.

Isn’t it typical? Steele is the only one up for criminal referral. That was pretty quick considering the crime freely committed by hildebeast for decades and we have Comey, Strokz, Paige, Ohr, Fusion, Lynch, Odumbtard, Clapper and the list goes on and on

This should go to breaking news

While the FBI fought the release of that memo, the senators also say the FBI’s claims “mischaracterize and misstate” the amount of classified information in the Steele referral. The senators are asking that the FBI and Justice Department “immediately review the classified referral in light of [Friday’s] declassification and provide the Committee with the declassified version by no later than February 6, 2018.”

[ilovesarah2012]

And Dick Morris knows this how?

[americas.best.days...]

This isn’t the collusion you’re looking for.

[blackdog]

They all belong in jail. Why hasn’t the judges in these warrants issued placed a bench warrant out for the arrest of all those who deceived the courts? WHY?

Yup. Even if it came out that the Clinton’s handed the Dossier to Steele, the MSM would come up with spin as to why it was the right thing to do.

[SERKIT]

Isn't it cute that all these "friends" pop up in these stories?

For instance, Comey testified that he stole documents off of his FBI-issued laptop (a crime), while on FBI time, and passed those documents - notes from a meeting with President Trump which was requested by Comey - to a FRIEND in academia (a crime) who passed them to the media (another crime). Then Comey's little friend morphed into Comey's Counsel of Record. So now we have friend-to-friend privileged information so they can protect each other against testifying against one another.

Then the Comey-to-Friend-to-Media leak brought about the naming of Comey's friend, Mueller, to craft the outline of Trump's impeachment under the guise of acting as a Special Prosecutor.

Nice friendly relationships, huh?

Grassley and Graham’s questioning Steele’s statements is related to ALEKSEJ GUBAREV, XBT HOLDING S.A., and WEBZILLA, INC lawsuit USDC Miami and the UK concerning the media’s viewing the dossier.
One needs to put all these together for a full picture.
