Exclusive: Mueller's team met with Russia dossier author
CNN ^ | 10/5/2017 | Evan Perez, Shimon Prokupecz and Pamela Brown,

Washington (CNN)Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigators met this past summer with the former British spy whose dossier on alleged Russian efforts to aid the Trump campaign spawned months of investigations that have hobbled the Trump administration, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Information from Christopher Steele, a former MI-6 officer, could help investigators determine whether contacts between people associated with the Trump campaign and suspected Russian operatives broke any laws. CNN has learned that the FBI and the US intelligence community last year took the Steele dossier more seriously than the agencies have publicly acknowledged. James Clapper, then the director of national intelligence, said in a January 2017 statement that the intelligence community had "not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable."

The intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA, and the FBI took Steele's research seriously enough that they kept it out of a publicly-released January report on Russian meddling in the election in order to not divulge which parts of the dossier they had corroborated and how.

You’re right.

But he ain’t going nowhere.

IF by some miracle republicans decided to completely destroy themselves by voting on impeachment,

then it’s war.

and this fat ba@tard will get off the couch and fight for my nephews and nieces.

But i like the couch so i hope it doesn’t come to that!!

Oh, I am pretty hopeful.

If there was anything that could really hurt Trump now it would have been used BEFORE he handed Hillary’s @ss back to her and her Saud backers.

I sense a hugh backlash for the Ratz is just around the corner. The Ratz are about to go full monty against the 2nd amendment and Americans are having none of it.

Winning!

I wish I could get on 4Chan here at work. During the election, one of my co-workers at one of my old places showed me a post on one of the Trump threads. Apparently, one of the 4Chan folks who was anti-Trump had a father who was well connected in RNC circles. He went so far as to throw out all kinds of crap about what his father knew and more and more. He pissed off a bunch of people, who decided to put together a document. They tried to make it as good as they could to look like real leaked documents. Faked e-mails with as many outrageous statements as they could. They banned him from their group, and then built this document, but were careful to purposefully misspell names and intentionally use some occasional nicknames for people. They documented what pages they’d done it on, what they’d said and even went as far as to make up stories about things like prostitutes in Russia. Literally, anything they could pull out of their tails. Turns out, when they got him the document, he then turned it over to his father, who knew he couldn’t directly be found with it, so he turned it over to someone else, and it ran around for a while. Additional crap was added in, but a chunk of the “dossier” is directly from the folks at 4Chan including the misspellings and nicknames. If I could find the post, I’d share it so you’d all be able to see just how much crap it was. The post was dated at least 3 months before the “dossier” (read: Faked smear job) was leaked.
