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. That’s 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 can’t actually give you a percentage."
Etc...

Does anyone have a link to a leftist site that 'verifies' the claims in the Steele dossier?
Clapper can say whatever he wants to because most of the Media takes him at his word.
And yet they have submitted no proof.
Pinocchio!
Pinocchio!
If any of the dossier were true, we would have heard about it nonstop from the moment it was verified. It would have leaked in a nanosecond.
Lying Clapper is trying to save his own ass.
How does he know?
That information AND the investigation are classified and that’s not his job anymore.
The seriousness of the charges precludes any real need for proof ... unless you’re protected by no charge can ever be serious enough which disallows all proofs which may be had.
Corroborated? Like what? Convincingly name two things.
Sources tell me that this guy is 100% full of $hit.
"Additionally," Clapper went on to say, "We have proof that Trump is actually Vladimir Putin in a mask, and that he is really a Secret Obtuse Genie who can make butterflies pour out his ass. It's been proven by satellite photo. He flies around the room on his gossamer wings, and lightning comes from his fingertips. He eats infants for breakfast, too!"
Why not. When you are just telling lies, go for broke, Clapper.
Would that be the same Clapper who told PBS’ Judy Woodruff the Russians helped Trump win the election by flipping 80,000 voters in three states?
Yes, that Clapper! He’s delusional.
This guy is just like Brennan, but a more glib liar....
Would love for my steel toed work boot to meet Clapper’s butt
Clapper and Brennan are looking at doing some serious time if they finally get around to appointing a special counsel to investigate this entire mess... And neither of them has the fortitude to keep their traps shut. I can’t see either one of them pilling a Liddy.

That’s exactly what Clapper and Schiff and the others are doing.
Clapper also is guilty and desperate.
“Talents” such as this clown produced the “intelligence” that got us into the wonderful Iraq war. Next, Clapper will reveal the hidden WMDs and tell us how the Iraqi Moghtada al-Sadr is such an improvement over Saddam Hussein.
Great point.
