Two pieces of evidence that have come together prove anti-Trump dossier writer Christopher Steele was the key source for a Yahoo News story that the FBI cited to support its wiretap application.
Identifying the source of that September 2016 article on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page has taken on added importance in recent weeks.
First, Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued a declassified memo on Feb. 2. It said the FBI relied greatly on Mr. Steele’s discredited Democrat-financed dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on Mr. Page.
To bolster the dossier’s charge that Mr. Page met with two Kremlin figures in Moscow, the FBI cited the Yahoo News article, which said the same thing.
But the Nunes memo said the FBI, in its Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act application, wasn’t corroborating the dossier because the Page accusation in Yahoo came from the same source: Mr. Steele.
“The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016 Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page’s July 2016 trip to Moscow,” the memo states. “This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News.”

Yep, old news. Somebody must have owed the editor a 299 word article.
Bttt.

Indictments, trial, jail!!! Stop fooling around Mr Magoo.
The game is to keep telling us over and over about the many criminal politicians and their criminal acts as if they are diligently discovering new evidence.
But they do do nothing about it.
Maybe a small fry or two gets their lives destroyed as a distraction but the real criminals always walk away unscathed.
They know that sooner or later we will get tired of hearing it and frustrated at the lack of action.
Then, when some new scandal takes the headlines, they will tell us "That's old news and has been dealt with - time to move along."
It's happened just like that repeatedly and it always works because the criminals are the ones investigating the criminals and the media is in their corner.
I like this title better.
“Discredited dossier writer Steele ID’d as Yahoo”
Jeff Sessions has been AG for 1 year, 23 days.
And has done absolutely nothing.
repetition of RussiaRussiaRussia is what the other side do 24/7, so no problem with Scarborough giving this a work-out in the W/Times.
media-wise, it’s worse outside US, where many people are left believing all the indictments to date involve collusion with Russia. FakeNewsMSM have created that impression and it will take a lot to dispel it.
Well, he did recuse himself. That's something..
Yeah, I think that is going to happen this time. Not sure we will cut off the snakes head, tho.
He's been working UC for the FBI since 2009 at the very least. Check his history and the clear pattern is obvious.
The FBI certainly did not tell FISA this highly pertinent fact, because if they had, their application for Title 1 surveillance on their own guy would have been laughed out of court.
I just wonder why elected Republicans are allowing this to go on? Isn’t there one elected or appointed official who worries about the waste of tax-payer money?
LOL, silly me, this is the same bunch who have plunged us into 20 trillion dollars of debt!
And that took all of the energy that he had.
I still think he is a deep state plant and things are shaking out according to plan.
I saw a show on the History Channel last week that explained it clearly how Trump and the Russians colluded to win the election. It must be true, right?
How would you or anyone know what has been done? Ing a major investigation (or several of them) isn’t like building a house where you can see what’s been done every day.
We know what hasn’t been done as we watch our enemies walk around everyday guilty as sin, free as a bird.
We wouldn’t recognize most of our real enemies. All we know about are the minions and toadies.
The top scum are in a position to inflict enormous, if not fatal damage to our country, if they aren’t dealt with very carefully. They have to first be constrained, defanged and contained. All the trapdoors and dead man switches have to be found and disabled.
The final disposition is the end of a complex process. Waiting is the hardest part, as always.
