AG Barr Permits Release of Previously Redacted Steele Details
Newsmax ^ | Monday, 09 December 2019 09:32 AM | By Brian Freeman |

Posted on 12/09/2019 9:51:48 AM PST by Red Badger

Attorney General William Barr decided to release information about former FBI informant Christopher Steele that had been redacted in Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz's report that's being made public on Monday investigating the Russian probe, The New York Times reported.

Steele, who compiled a dossier of unverified information about President Donald Trump that FBI officials used to some extent in order to seek a court order for surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, was, in a highly unusual move, only informed on the eve of the report's release that the previously blacked out information would be made public and was not given a chance to comment on it.

The president and his supporters have used the FBI's reliance on Steele's disputed dossier to make more widespread accusations about the fairness of the decision to investigate Trump at all. Critics have especially pointed to the fact that Steele compiled the dossier for a research company that was hired by lawyers who worked for Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

So apparently we are only supposed to see what the Democrat Fascist Party, and their toadies in the Fake News, want us to see?

What ever happened to the “People’s right to know” Fake News?

And since when do the accused get to have input on an “investigation” into their wrong doing? Can you say “cover up”?

A guess based on the Hillary emails IG report:

In that report, the summary (which was the only thing the media ever read or reported on) bent the revelations in the report almost to the breaking point, to come up with a summary conclusion that of “nothing to see her move along”.

My guess is that Horowitz did the same with this report, and contorted the conclusions to put the best gloss possible on what was revealed in the report itself.

It’s possible that some of the redacted parts of the report would kick the legs out from under the summary, but the team writing the summary felt free to ignore them because no one would ever see them.

So Barr kept his mouth shut until they finished writing everything then declassified these conflicting passages at the last second, throwing the whole summary into doubt. Do they leave it as is, even though its (now demonstrably) false? Or do they scramble to rewrite the summary to fit the facts that they knew all along but which are being newly revealed to the rest of us.

Check.

The report has now been released, so now, most people will ignore it, and only repeat the "hot lines" that they want to use.

I'm not sure I will read every line on every page, but I will give it a try.

I have my own opinion, but I am willing to revise it if warranted.

NELLIE OHR wrote the damn Dossier!

Why yes, yes they do. After all we elected a democrat majority to the House after Trump got things started on the road to recovery.

I think you are probably correct.
I also think Flimsey Grahamnesty was involved with McCain in its dissemination just as he was involved with McCain in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, etc.
Grahamnesty wants a truncated Senate trial to keep his own secrets from being revealed.

I believe the DemonRats STOLE the midterms to seize control of the House for the very purpose of IMPEACHING Trump. If you look what happened in Orange County, CA it is a case study in BALLOT HARVESTING leading the the THEFT by the DemonRats of a national election..

Yes, they do.

Even here on the premier conservative forum we have people adamantly opposed to upholding ALL of the Constitution, including the natural born citizen requirement.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.

NONE of the popular children of foreign nationals who were born with divided citizenship are natural born citizens.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they could not possibly be anything else, they were born here of citizen parents.

Just as Ted Cruz could claim US citizenship through his mother even though born in Canada with Canadian citizenship, so too can all of the children of foreign nationals born here claim citizenship in those other countries.

It was PRECISELY the condition of divided citizenship that the founders were excluding when they chose the words “natural born citizen”.

Graham was infatuated with McCain and took everything he said or did to be the truth.

Now that McCain is dead, maybe he can think for himself for the first time...............Don’t forget, he’s also a lawyer.............

John Brennan is a KEY figure in the FALSIFICATION of Barry Soetoro’s pedigree. From passport, to Selective Service card, to Birth Certificate.

Correct, Brennan was the advance man who got rid of inconvenient documents and people to pave the way for the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Never forget that the usurpation could not have happened without the complete cooperation of the GOP.
