Former senior adviser to President Barack Obama Valerie Jarrett talks to FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo about the Trump/Russia investigation.
"I have a high degree of confidence in our intelligence community, investigators comported themselves responsibly," Jarrett said. "Lindsey Graham is the one that encouraged Sen. McCain to turn over the dossier in the first place to the FBI."
"I do know that it’s nearly four years ago and I don’t understand why our focus isn’t on what’s happening right now and today. That’s the investigation I’d like to see," she said.
Bartiromo asked about the origins of the Steele dossier: "What’s happening right now is we are learning the details of what took place and we are getting official confirmation that the FBI knew that the dossier was garbage and made up in a bar because the sub-source of the dossier told FBI officials in early January."
"I was not involved in any of those conversations," Jarrett replied. "But the question I really want to put to you is, what are we doing today?"
"If people want to have an investigation about what happened four years ago, they should do that. But aren’t you concerned about what’s going on right now? Aren’t you worried about the integrity of our upcoming elections? Aren’t you worried about how we’re going to have a safe and fair election?"

Water board that bitch
This is the sort of thing that needs sources not just said.
Yeah true. I do not know what to believe...
There are about 10 senate seats easier to go after than Graham’s though so it’s slightly odd they would focus on him id this is part of some kind of Plot??
Post #39.
If the Dems get the senate & the presidency it’s over. They will end the filibuster. Puerto Rico & D.C. become states. Amnesty for 30 million illegals & 2 seats will be added to the SCOTUS.
The GOP will never win a national election, again...as in ever. It’s that bad.
Thanks for a fair comment.
Graham remains something of an enigma to me. On the one hand, as you say, there was his association with the egregious McCain. On the other, his strong showing during the Kavanaugh hearings.
Just words, one might object. But they were exactly the words needed at the time.
As for Madame Jarrett, she was the eminence grise of Obama’s presidency and is no doubt deeply involved in the attempted coup d’etat. I wouldn’t trust her word on anything.
I won’t flame you. I find it bizarre that this mutt Jarrett would go on Fox News — where she probably wouldn’t have been caught dead while Obama was in office — and offer up this tidbit of information.
amazed there are people on FR who claim not to know about this.
here Graham allegedly also gives his copy of the dossier to the FBI:
25 Mar 2019: CNN: Graham encouraged McCain to turn Trump-Russia dossier over to FBI
by Manu Raju; CNN’s Katelyn Polantz contributed to this report.
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday that he told the late Sen. John McCain to turn over the dossier of Trump-Russia allegations to the FBI, pushing back against President Donald Trump’s assertions that the Arizona Republican helped fan the flames of the Russia investigation.
Graham told CNN after a news conference that he told Trump in Florida this weekend that “Sen. McCain deserves better” than the way the President has been publicly disparaging the late senator and war hero in the last week. And Graham publicly acknowledged he had advanced knowledge of the dossier, the existence of which has enraged the President...
Graham added: “I told the President it was not John McCain. I know because John McCain showed me the dossier. And I told him the only thing I knew to do with it, it could be a bunch of garbage, it could be true, who knows? Turn it over to somebody who’s job it is to find these things out and John McCain acted appropriately.”
***Asked more about the matter later, Graham said he put the dossier in “a safe” the day he got it and turned it over to the FBI the next day...
“And I understand that, clearly people are in the McCain world that did some things inappropriate but it was not John McCain. John McCain did not give it to anybody in the press, he talked to me just as soon as he got it, and he turned it over to the FBI and that’s exactly what he should have done.”...

Yes...heard this some time ago.
“That was after the election that McCain turned it over to the FBI. They had it long before that. The FISA warrants were based on it.“
Bump
Yeah, you’re right.
Linda would never doublecross the guy who shredded his mentor and bestest buddy.
He’s a true blue team player who never wavered from covering The Man’s 6.
It’s a blood libel by the cold, calculating, repitilian Jarrett.
Yup. Can’t be. Not Our Man Linda.
Never doubted Grahamnesty and McNuts were in cahoots!
Although, to be honest, I doubt McCain needed any encouragement to turn over this fraudulent dossier to the FBI. He always hated Trump. So that part of the claim sounds fishy.
Explains why Linda doesn’t want to investigate anyone involved with
the Criminal Coup Plotters.
He was in on Coup too.
Even more weird was the Fox host not even picking up on it and asking further questions.
Maybe this is commonly known in the media?
And you think Linda has been reliable regarding investigating the coup plotters.
LG is what we have. Until he can be replaced with better, he is what we have.
What we have is no opposition party to the progressive-corportist alliance thanks to people like Graham. We’ll wake up in a decade or two and the country will be GONE. Our votes replaced by hoards of third world dirt farmers. We can deal with Quislings like Graham now or lose our country later. It’s that simple.
90+ days until the election, it’s best to concentrate on keeping Trump in office. All this Russia-gate stuff is very low on the the importance scale at this point in time. If Biden wins, it’s all down the memory hole.
