Per the release: Glenn Simpson said he only become aware of the infamous Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer when it was reported in the New York Times. “I was stunned.”

Yeah, except the Russian lawyer met with him Before & After and worked for FusionGPS.

I probably read 40-50 pages and i don’t know what shes talking about. If anything was to be characterized that way it would be the dossier and so far nothing about that

I don’t think Feinstein is even aware of what Congress evidence congress has gathered.

This is going to backfire on the Dems, but they're too stupid to realize it yet.

There's going to be good stuff in here, incriminating stuff.

Glenn Simpson is a self-righteous moron, and now he's going to have internet sleuths going over his lies with a fine-tooth comb.

Is this what DiFi is worried about?

Excerpt:

The criminal referral is based on FBI reports of meetings the FBI has given to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the FBI meetings with Christopher Steele.

Within those FBI reports (presented to the committee) are conflicting statements and accounts that do not align with known evidence.

The FBI is attributing claims to the meetings with Christopher Steele that do not match known evidence about the Steele Dossier and use therein.

Remember what Senator Graham said recently about his review of the evidence surrounding the Steele Dossier and how it was used, by the FBI in gaining the FISA warrant? –Refresh Memory Here–

What Grassley and Graham are now doing is forcing the DOJ to reconcile the conflicts between the FBI presentations to the judiciary committee -about the origin of, and their use of, the Steele Dossier- against known evidence.

Someone is lying.

Graham and Grassley know the motive to lie about the Steele Dossier does not necessarily belong to Christopher Steele. The motive is within the corrupt FBI.

In order to accurately prove ownership of the the falsehoods Grassley and Graham are saying: ‘If what the FBI says is true then Chris Steele is lying, because the evidence doesn’t support what the FBI previously said to us, and attributed to Christopher Steele’…

Grassley and Graham are calling the bluff of the FBI.

“Based on the information contained therein, we are respectfully referring Mr. Steele to you for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, for statements the Committee has reason to believe Mr. Steele made regarding his distribution of information contained.” (link)

The “information contained therein” is the FBI presentation of statements and evidence the FBI is attributing to Christopher Steele.

By referring a criminal complaint to the DOJ the Senators are, in essence, forcing the DOJ to outline that material presentations by the FBI, to the committee, were false…. OR, that Christopher Steele is lying. The former is likely, the latter not-so-much.

Additionally, by asking Rod Rosenstein (DOJ) and Christopher Wray (FBI) to investigate the conflicting evidence and FBI statements Grassley and Graham are also providing political cover for Rosenstein and Wray to showcase the corruption within both the DOJ and the FBI.

Strategery.

The walls are closing in.

“Fox News reported earlier in November that in the hours before the Trump Tower meeting, Simpson and Veselnitskaya attended court proceedings being held in Manhattan.”

Glenn Simpson perjured himself before the Senate committee, and Feinstein is too dumb to know the facts..

In testimony before the Senate Commitee, Glen Simpson denied knowing of the Trump Tower meeting beforehand, and claimed he only learned of it in the New York Times, yet he met with the Russian Lawyer Veselnitskaya hours prior to the meeting and after the meeting. Feinstein in all her stupidity released Glenn Simpson’s perjury before the Senate Committee.

There are photos of his meeting with Veselnitskaya the day of the Trump Tower Meeting.

No need for closed door hearings now. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

“This story is developing. Please check back for updates.

The story is and has been dead, as it will continue to be. With the only exception being in the feeble minds of the Democrats. Who’s only hope is Cankles. Pathetic beyond words and deeds!! Losers!!!

Feinstein edited out the names of partners, managers, and analysts of Fusion GPS on page 19 of the document—why is she covering up this information?

I’ve read several pages too and it’s a nothing-burger. Sen. Feinstein is head faking somebody or for some reason.

Just a guess:

I think we're about to find out that Fusion has and continues presently to collude with the Mueller “investigation.”

Also, Feinstein HAS NO CLUE as to what Nunes is uncovering - she only knows something if it's on MSNBC.

"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.

What innuendo and misinformation? The maddening thing about the transcript is that we knew virtually nothing about it -- not that we knew misinformation about it.

After reviewing the transcript, I feel I'm in the same place. I still don't know much. Simpson refused to answer a lot of questions. A lot of his answers were redacted anyway. This is the biggest nothingburger of a story in the history of nothingburgers.
