At a Wednesday hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General William Barr said his department is reviewing whether the discredited Steele dossier is evidence of a Russian disinformation campaign. Asked about that possibility by Sen. John Cornyn (R–TX) Barr noted he was “concerned about it.”
Cornyn prefaced his inquiry to Barr by noting Christopher Steele’s links to the Clinton campaign in 2016, describing him as “a former British intelligence officer hired to do opposition research by the Hillary Clinton campaign on her political adversaries including President Trump, or candidate Trump at that time.” The Steele dossier was used in 2016 by the FBI to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants on Carter Page, who had worked previously for the Trump campaign.
“How do we know that the Steele dossier is not itself evidence of Russian disinformation campaign, knowing what we know now, that basically the allegations made therein were secondhand, hearsay, or unverified?” Cornyn asked Barr. “Can we state with confidence that the Steele dossier was not part of the Russian disinformation campaign?”

We need a nationwide poll of Republican voters that shows prosecuting the coup plotters is the most important issue. Its more important than the wall or anything else. hillary and comey and all the rest need to be prosecuted and see jail time.
If we do, can we start sanctions against the UK for election interference?
Hasn’t it already been established that the dossier was Hillary-funded disinformation?
How friggin’ long will we rehash the same facts while doing NOTHING ?
Until the public has finally had enough & just wants it ALL to go away so we can move on?
Groundhogs Day— the movie. End it.
“Hasn’t it already been established that the dossier was Hillary-funded disinformation?”
Yes it has.
But the information in the so called dossier all comes from anonymous Russian officials who were supposedly close to Putin and supposedly aware of the high level, inside decisions that were made in the Kremlin and in the Russian government.
There is the possibility that Fusion GPS, Steele, Ohr, etc just made everything up.
There is also the possibility that the Russian government deliberately fed false information to Fusion and the Clinton campaign.
No one has investigated this.
They’re stupid (evil is the ultimate stupidity), but not that stupid.
They thought HRC would win.
Barr will have to take action on all the criminal referrals he is getting.
Barr has been in office for 1 1/2 mos. What would you have been able to accomplish in that timeframe?
They didn’t. They had corrupt leaders who wanted HRC in 2016 and Trump was elected instead.
The dems and CNN will be bringing out their shocked face.
*** The deep state is falling back into the next defensive ditch, which is that they were innocently taken in by Russian disinformation. ***

“Nellie Ohr wrote it.”
When I think of vile and nasty little girls, when I was a kid anyway, Nellie Olson was it.
Nellie Ohr makes her look old fashioned!
Nellie Olson usually got her just desserts!
