Steele warned that IG report contains information previously blacked out, report says
Fox News ^ | 12/09/19 | Edmund DeMarche

Christopher Steele, the British ex-spy and author of the anti-Trump dossier, was reportedly told that the Justice Department will release information about him that was previously blacked out in the department’s internal watchdog report on the investigation into President Trump’s 2016 campaign due on Monday.

The New York Times, citing two individuals with knowledge of the situation, reported that Attorney General William Barr approved the release of the previously redacted information in Michael Horowitz’s 400-page report. The report called Steele’s heads-up unusual and said he was not given any indication of whether the information would benefit or hurt him. An after-hours email from Fox News to the Justice Department was not immediately returned.

Steele is poised to be a notable figure in the Horowitz report because he provided opposition research into the Trump campaign's connections to Russia which was funded by Democrats and the Clinton campaign.

Steele is a foreign national. Why does he get a heads up?

If Putin was in the report would he get a heads up?

IG Report - “We have investigated ourselves and found ourselves to be innocent. Orange Man Bad!”

If it’s info about Steele, I would think that it was blacked-out to bury something damaging to his deep-state buddies, not him. I doubt that they give a damn about Steele.

Also hope that this is an indication that AG Barr intends to declassify info that serves only to cover up misdeeds and has nothing to do with ‘national security.’

"Americans will not take this much longer."

What, pray tell, would give you that impression?

Don't count on it.

From the released telephone records of Solomon (Investigative reporter), Rep Nunes (US Congressman) and Giuliani (Lawyer for the POTUS), and since they can reach 2 steps away, then anybody on the US who communicates or is represented by a Congressman, might have association with anybody who might have recognition by the Bar, or who reads any news reports, now may have dossiers placed on them by the likes of Schiff and Lois Lerner.

Nobody has any privacy anymore from these people, UNTIL they are removed from power and prosecuted, found guilty and sentences EXECUTED for their crimes against humanity in the US.

Because two individuals with knowledge of the situation are involved in a seditious conspiracy against the US government. (The New York Times, citing two individuals with knowledge of the situation...)

When you have a “bombshell” report that was supposed to be completed and released in May, a lot of the air can leak out when there is a seven month delay.

Steele needs to be clapped in irons and really interrogated.

The speculation is bouncing off the walls. I ignore it. The report will come out and we will get to judge the actual document.

Wait a sec. Why can the democrats/Clinton hire someone to investigate and dig up/pay for “dirt” on then opposing Republican candidate Trump but they are literally yelling about Trump being the worst for supposedly wanting an opposing candidate’s possible involvement in corruption investigated?

Blacked out or not. What matters is if it is the truth or a bunch of lies.

Surprising to read that, since the Faux reporter had also cited the NY Slimes. Thanks Libloather.
