Declassified footnote lays out intelligence community concerns about Steele's ties to Russia and disinformation
Key FBI officials failed to review an intelligence file identifying Christopher Steele's ties to Russian oligarchs and were later advised some of the information he provided agents in his dossier appeared to be misinformation planted by Russian intelligence, according to declassified information made public Friday.
The explosive revelations were contained in footnotes that had been originally redacted from Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz's December report on FBI failures in the Russia case. The information was provided to two Senate committees in recent days.
One of the newly declassified footnotes highlights a glaring misstep early in the Russia case, when key officials failed to review the intelligence control file for Steele, a former MI6 agent who approached the FBI with unverified allegations about Trump after he was hired to do opposition research by the firm working for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
Checking such files is a basic procedure in a counterintelligence probe when an informant is involved, officials told Just the News.
The footnote states that an FBI intelligence analyst and a supervisory special agent working on the Crossfire Hurricane probe admitted they "did not recall reviewing information in Steele's Delta file documenting Steele's frequent contacts with representatives for multiple Russian oligarchs in 2015."
"In addition to the information in Steele's Delta file documenting Steele's frequent contacts with representatives for multiple Russian oligarch, we identified reporting the Crossfire Hurricane team received [redacted] indicating the potential for Russia disinformation influencing Steele's election reporting," a second footnote revealed.
Specifically, that footnote added: "A [redacted] 2017 report relayed information from [redacted] outlining an inaccuracy in a limited subset of Steele's reporting about the activities of (former Trump lawyer) Michael Cohen. The [redacted] stated that it did not have high confidence in this subset of Steele's reporting and assessed that the referenced subset was part of a Russian disinformation campaign to denigrate U.S. foreign relations."

Save Bagster!
My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Bagster pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.
that is nothing. I have heard he was told to dress up in some cleaning girl outfit to get out of jail. I also heard he did it. they had good fun. pictures coming soon. something about nips I think. the governor of California is expected to do an early prisoner release.

The point is that they knew it was disinformation. These footnotes are prior to FISA warrants in which they certified (Read swore under oath) that the information was true, accurate, and verified.
The declassified footnotes prove that they lied under oath to spy on an elected president. There is no covering up for that.
bingo
Leave Bags Alone!
