I can’t figure out why he liked Ivanka...?

Key Points:
A Trump family member had a “personal” relationship with ex-British spy Christopher Steele years before he authored a controversial dossier about President Donald Trump and Russia, Steele has said.
Steele told the Justice Department’s internal watchdog that he had been “favorably disposed” toward the Trump family — and not biased against Trump — because of his relationship with that family member.
The watchdog’s report was released as ABC News reported that Steele met Trump’s daughter Ivanka at a dinner in 2007 and remained in touch for some time thereafter.

The stupidest thing CNBC has ever done!
(That’s saying a lot. LOL!)
So Steele was mad because he couldn’t get any business?
I can’t figure out why he liked Ivanka...?
[[I can’t figure out why he liked Ivanka...?]]
Well duh- obviously it was because she was good at math!
I can’t figure out why he liked Ivanka...?
Maybe Steele was mad because he couldn't get any.
Is it just ABC reporting that they knew each other or did the IG report document this relationship?
Yes, she could have that effect.
Funny how media is portraying the opposite.
Met her at dinner in 2007.
Interesting in that Ohr was already up to no good in 2007 meeting with ‘redacted.’
Let the Spin Begin! It’s NBC people. We rail against CNN and WaPo but, NBC has been arguably WORSE.
The media and Deep State damage control will go into overdrive. Especially, since after the Deep State’s IG and their toady Wray were slapped down by the AG Barr and Durham within minutes of the white washed IG report.
Wray has been problematic for quite sometime. I think the president has tolerated him simply because he’s got so very many cats to heard, so many far more important issues on his plate, he views Wray as a low level annoyance. To be dealt with after his re-election.
Well I can think of a couple of really GOOD reasons to like Ivanka.
2007 was a very interesting year. The guy who outed Valerie Plame, Armitage, visited Syria. So did Pelosi and her trip involved taking Assad a message from Israel’s Ehud Barack [who is connected to Epstein], deliberately, to obstruct Bush’s efforts to stop Syria from supporting the insurgency in Iraq by isolating Syria. It was the year the Syrian nuclear effort was exposed along with North Korean assistance to Syria’s program. At the time, Joe Biden and Jack Abramoff were deeply involved with softening relations with Iran via Trita Parsi. It was the year Marc Rich and Russia and Iran and Giustra and the Clintons were setting up the Uranium One deal...if I’m not mistaken wasn’t Giustra also involved with Epstein, who didn’t kill himself?
So did the FBI. So did the DoJ.
Why Pelosi’s Syria Visit Remains Indefensible

It is not comparable to Senator Tom Cotton’s letter. ‘The road to Damascus is a road to peace.”
Those were damning words. When Nancy Pelosi embraced Bashar al-Assad in April 2007, she wasn’t simply challenging the commander-in-chief during a war; she was propagandizing for a dictator who was killing Americans. This is not conservative hyperbole. It is fact. After all, it is an undeniable truth that Assad was sheltering a range of terrorist groups that were attacking U.S. forces in Iraq — including then-lieutenant Tom Cotton, the senator whom Democrats now accuse of “treason” for spearheading a letter to Iran warning that a future president or Congress could cancel any nuclear deal it makes with the Obama administration....
With the tacit approval of the Syrian regime, between 2005 and 2008, foreign jihadists flooded along the arterial highways that connect eastern Syria and western Iraq. Once in Iraq, they joined up with facilitators from the Islamic State’s precursor, al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). The zealots were then assigned to murder American soldiers and Marines.
And AQI was responsible for particularly gruesome crimes. ***For one, the kidnap and murder of Byron Fouty and Alex Jimenez. When the remains of these young U.S. soldiers were found — dumped in shallow graves and ravaged by animals — it was clear their bones had healed after being broken: proof their deaths had not come quick.*** Yes, Salafi-Jihadists get off on torturing their combatant enemies, but AQI also murdered tens of thousands of Iraqis. It took special pleasure targeting children.
Granting AQI safe haven and supply routes, Mr. Assad was complicit in their crimes. As speaker (entitled to near-highest level intelligence), Pelosi knew this. But it wasn’t just AQI that received Assad’s support. A long-term ally of Iranian intelligence and the Lebanese Hezbollah, Assad’s regime harbored those waging Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP) terrorism against U.S. military patrols in Iraq (and power-drill wars against the heads of innocent Sunnis). Again, the facts are clear.
When the CIA finally caught up with Imad Mughniyah (a key organizer of these attacks) in February 2008, he was in Damascus. Think on that. Nearly a year after Pelosi’s “peace” visit, Assad was still protecting this murderer as he lived openly. ...
MARCH 2004 : (COMEY SEIZES ASHCROFT'S AUTHORITY , DOES NOT INFORM PRES. BUSH) President George W. Bush himself, in his book “Decision Points,” expressed his feeling of shock when he found out that Comey had seized the attorney general’s authority in March of 2004.
It’s unclear why Comey did not feel compelled to inform the president of the United States, his superior, that he had assumed for himself the powers of the office of attorney general.
“I was stunned,” Bush wrote. “Nobody had told me that Comey, John Ashcroft’s deputy, had taken over Ashcroft’s responsibilities when he went in for surgery. If I had known that, I never would have sent Andy and Al to John’s hospital room.
To date, it’s unclear why Comey did not feel compelled to inform the president of the United States, his superior, that he had assumed for himself the powers of the office of attorney general. Gonzales minced no words in his characterization of the hero narrative Comey wove before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2007.
“The details later presented by Jim Comey, and facilitated by Senator Schumer’s staffer, Preet Bharara, describing flashing lights, sirens, and dashing up the hospital staircases may or may not be technically true, but they certainly do not depict what happened later in that hospital room,” Gonzales wrote. “Contrary to Hollywood-style myth, there simply was no confrontation.”
Gonzales even pointedly questioned the Comey narrative that Ashcroft’s health status had made it impossible for him to continue his duties.
“[Card and I] both agreed that Ashcroft had been competent and understood the intricacies of the disputed surveillance matter. He seemed to have been well briefed by [Comey], Goldsmith, and Philbin,” Gonzales wrote. “In an ironic twist, it is possible some or all of those briefings occurred while the attorney general was hospitalized and in a weakened condition, thus raising the question of whether his subordinates had taken advantage of him.”
This cynicism is not unwarranted, given that according to Comey’s own testimony, Ashcroft allegedly addressed Card and Gonzales in the hospital room with language that was “rich in both substance and fact…drawn from the hour-long meeting we’d had a week earlier.” If Ashcroft had such detailed command of facts he had only briefly discussed the previous week, then what exactly was the rationale for Comey continuing to assert the powers of Ashcroft’s position?
Comey’s recollection of that conversation reveals an attempt to have it both ways: there was no choice but to designate Comey as acting attorney given Ashcroft’s medical state, and yet Ashcroft was competent enough to slap down Card and Gonzales in exquisite and detailed fashion. Which was it?
Gonzales’s belief, expressed in the book, that Comey and Bharara colluded in secret with Schumer in an attempt to take down a top Bush administration official is no unsupported conspiracy theory, as Bharara himself confirmed Gonzales’s suspicions about Comey’s scheme in a 2016 interview with The New Yorker‘s Jeffrey Toobin: As Bharara recalled, ‘Jim told me the whole story on the phone, and the hair stood up on the back of my neck, because I realized what a significant story this was, and I was sworn to secrecy and nobody knew about it. I told Chuck. He was, like, ‘Whoa!’ ” In the days leading up to the hearing, Bharara and Schumer told no one about the revelation that was coming. ‘I was afraid that if the story got out of what Jim was going to say the Bush Administration would figure out a way to prevent him from testifying,’ Bharara said. ‘We needed to preserve the element of surprise.’ ------ https://thefederalist.com/2017/05/17/former-attorney-general-on-comeys-integrity-jims-loyalty-was-more-to-chuck-schumer/
#6. Are you implying that Christopher’s “Steele” was getting rusty? Inquiring magnets want to know. /sarc
Pure BS, piled high. Steele made it clear throughout his involvement with the FBI hhe was bitterly and absolutely contemptuous of Trump.
It’s a pretty small fricking world in DC. The only reason we are here is to pay thier bills.
Seems odd. It has always been reported that Steele was “obsessed” that Trump never would be president. (What f*ing business is it of HIS who the U.S. president is? He’s a big fat nobody.) Maybe the real obsession was with Ivanka and she turned him down, which led to him wanting to destroy the family.
