Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Tuesday released the full transcript from Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential collusion and obstruction of justice," Feinstein said in a statement. "The only way to set the record straight is to make the transcript public."
The release of the transcript, Feinstein said, was supported by committee Democrats. The move follows committee a decision by Republicans Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham to issue a criminal referral last week against Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the largely unverified "Trump dossier."

Redacted? How do we know we know it’s even the original version?
Since demorats are supporting this release you know this is all about “forcing” pre-releases of everything before the investigation is complete.....this is how they role when things are pointing at them . Get something/anything out there to distract and obstruct.
Lord McCain must not be back in WDC.
“The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript”
What innuendo and misinformation”. She is trying to distract from the other investigations of both the leaks, FBI-DOJ collusion, and Hillary’s problems.
I probably should have added a /s this time.
The Steele dossier makes a wide range of claims, many of which are rumors that couldn’t be independently verified. Many other claims involve things that would have been publicly known at the time the report was apparently drafted. Although it’s impossible to say that the dossier is entirely inaccurate (there are some glimmers of accurate predictions), it is also impossible to say that it has been broadly validated.
What the Trump dossier says — and what it doesn’t
Perhaps she is also pre-empting Devin Nunes...
Report: Chairman Devin Nunes Has Received FBI and DOJ FISA Application and Steele Dossier Documents…
Some of this info may have been classified.
Looks like the DEMS are throwing HILLARY & HUMA under the bus, so they can rally behind OPRAH.
She did it to help them in their criminal defense efforts. A truly wrongful act.
How much of it DIDN’T she release?
Most likely the committee was planning to ask Strozk and his girlfriend the same questions they asked Fusion, because if they’re all lying they would have a hard time getting their stories straight, especially if they can’t get together right now without anyone noticing.
One way to make sure that everyone gets their story straight is to publish the first guy’s answers so everyone knows the drill.
If you’ve ever seen a cop show where they separate the witnesses/defendant and ask them the same questions, you’ll see why those defendants would have appreciated Sen. Feinstein feeding them the first guy’s answers.
The “Innuendo” is that the ‘Dossier’ was used to get a FISA warrant, the release of this simony does nothing to answer that question.
Testimony.
Could be obstruction of justice and witness tampering. That’s what she would say if Trump released something. Unlike Trump, she can be indicted.
Choreographed info dump by Team Dem. Grassley needs to hammer them now.
FUSION GPS statement on Feinstein’s release of the Glenn Simpson interview transcript: “Fusion GPS commends Sen. Feinstein for her courage. The transcript of Glenn Simpson’s lengthy responses to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s questioning speaks for itself.”
“Not sure I mind the release.”
Grassley’s wanted FusionGPS to have to testify under oath to ‘get their story out’. This way, they get THEIR story out, without any cross-examination. Win-win for GPS and Democrats
“Fusion GPS commends Sen. Feinstein for her courage. The transcript of Glenn Simpson’s lengthy responses to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s questioning speaks for itself.”
Fusion GPS is a money laundering operation for the FBI / DNC.
