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."

Who listens to the word of a proven liar?
“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.”
I’ve heard this shtick before.
Then Clapper doesn’t say “what” has been corroborated and by whom.
Clapper is going to make another big mistake.
5.56mm
He's just feeding them liberal drivel they already believe is true.
He's at no risk of being challenged.
The salacious parts are what leftists believe to be true. They're waiting for Putin to 'release the tape'.
Clapper is telling leftists they have never been corroborated.
Of course according to Clapper, everything else is true.
Bingo.
Give me a list.
Well first, bring out the hookers.
Don’t tell me Carter Page was in Russia, it is a meaningless fact. That is what Clappy is talking about. There are basic facts that are true but he doesn’t tell you what they are because they are obvious and meaningless.
It is a Kabuki dance.
He's been caught and admitted he lied in front of congressional hearings.
Only the Left will believe this crap from a liar's liar.
This is a sincere question.
Honestly, have any of the claims been actually proved to be true? I understand that the demoncrats want them to be true but I have not seen any validation of their claims.
Clapper did, however, throw some cold water on them.
He admits the salacious claims have never been collaborated which is what leftists desperately want to believe are true.
It's not going to stop them from saying it or believing it but we now have Clapper to quote in response when they do.
He never was able to come up with anything at all because he was blowing smoke out of his ass.
Clapper is just throwing some bones to the Left in this Salon interview.
Leftists keep saying the dossier is true but I have yet to read a comprehensive list compiled by Democrats that 'confirms' every or any claim in the dossier.
If anyone can find such a point by point list I'd love to read it.
And nothing criminal, either.
More and more, Clapper is letting everyone know that he is a bigger fool, and more of a liar then anyone even considered possible.
Exactly. Do he and Brennan not have lawyers yet?
On what planet?
How would he even know? He’s out of office.
Comey always looks like he has been smoking weed for a very long time.Most of the rest of that crew just look two-bit.
Ascribe the self-assured assertions to great hubris, and a perfect willingness to double down with what is at best a mediocre hand.
This ain’t blackjack, man, where you can kind of watch the other cards and make an assessment on the chances of beating the dealer.
What “claims” that were proven true, were only the ones that everyone already knew.
Nothing.
Clapper has nothing.
Actually. a size 13 steeled toed oilfield workboot like what my nephew wears would do the trick nicely
Picture one of those meeting his butt.
