Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a new interview that parts of the infamous Steele dossier of alleged ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia have been corroborated by subsequent U.S. investigations.
In an interview with Salon, the Obama-era intelligence chief stressed that while the most "salacious" claims in the dossier have not been proven to be true, "more and more" of the dossier's other claims about the president and his allies' ties to Russia have been corroborated over time.
"Some of what was in the dossier was actually corroborated -- but separately -- in our intelligence community assessment, from other sources that we were confident in," Clapper said.
"The salacious parts, no. Thats never been corroborated," he added. "It would appear to me that as time has gone on more and more of it has been corroborated, but I cant actually give you a percentage."

Independently verified?
You mean by Trump haters Clapper, Brennan and Comey?
I guess you can call it verification. It just ain’t independent.
Stunning that Clapper the Yapper hasn’t been reined in...
——the Obama-era intelligence chief stressed-—
to the breaking point is in full panic mode. His ass is grass
I haven’t heard Salon mentioned in five or ten years.
Funny how the one guy who could 'verify' the alleged 'facts' is the one person no one seems interested in questioning.
Is this guy delusional, or does he think we are?
why didn’t the media ask him for examples, proof?
He keeps proving he is a pathological liar over and over again and the lame street media licks it up like a dog licking its butt.
The Media is the Deep State.
Demonuts think if they repeat it a million times it’ll make it true and people will believe it
which parts?
Clapper has done a lot of talking out in public lately. He even stopped to tenderly caress the erudite View ladies this week.
Sure hope he’s got capable legal counsel. He’s going to need it.
A competent news organization, either left or right, would ask him: Specifically, what elements of the dossier were corroborated?
That’s a question that will be dodged in perpetuity.
that’s their CYA mode....they’ll say that the millionaire paid for Toon dossier was all true, but technically they can’t do anything about it because the law was broke by the investigators, or instigators...
what’s terrifying is the absolute whackos that obama put in charge of the nation’s intelligence community. brennan and this guy both belong in the booby hatch.
If the same dossier had been made about Hillary Clinton and she had won(God forbid) the left would be demanding that people go to jail for it..but since it was done to Donald Trump its all good since the Commie media hates his guts
If it were true we wouldnt need this investigation now, would we. Id be happy to see Clapper and Brennan in the federal pen. I hope Trump gets a new AG and goes after their a$$es.
I hope for his own sake that Jimmy has a good supply of cyanide capsules.
If he waits too long he is going to die in a 9x12 SuperMax cell in solitary confinement.
Its the fallacy called “begging the question.” The premise is restated as the conclusion.
Only no evidence for it exists. And in the case of the so-called intelligence community assessment, no proof of Russian collusion with Trump has been offered or put into evidence.
The fake news media has no interest in ascertaining whether it actually exists or is true. Nor does Robert Mueller the man appointed to investigate whether the claim the Russians colluded to elect Trump has truth to it.
Or than the assertion of Trump’s enemies to the effect its true.
