In all Washington investigations, the essential questions become who knew it and when did they know it.
In the case of FBI informant Christopher Steele and the credibility of his now-disproven Russia collusion allegations against Donald Trump, we have some important clarity: Government officials confirm that an October 2016 email revealing that Steele met with State Department officials — a breach of protocol for an informant if it was unauthorized — was sent to an FBI counterintelligence supervisor.
Multiple sources confirm to me that the recipient of the State Department email was Special Agent Stephen Laycock, then the FBI’s section chief for Eurasian counterintelligence and now one of the bureau’s top executives as the assistant director for intelligence under Director Christopher Wray.
The email to Laycock from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec arrived eight days before the FBI swore to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that it had no derogatory information on Steele and used his anti-Trump dossier to secure a secret surveillance warrant to investigate Trump’s possible ties to Moscow.
Officials tell me that Laycock immediately forwarded the information he received about Steele on Oct. 13, 2016, to the FBI team leading the Trump-Russia investigation, headed by then-fellow Special Agent Peter Strzok.
Laycock was the normal point of contact for Kavalec on Eurasian counterintelligence matters, and he simply acted as a conduit to get the information to his colleagues supervising the Russia probe, the officials added.

I have a question:
Now that Durham is on the case will the IG report even be made public? ... because of “on-going” investagtions
“before the FBI swore”
The FBI didn’t swear to anything. Someone who works for the FBI did. Who was that person?

“and now one of the bureau’s top executives as the assistant director for intelligence under Director Christopher Wray.”
Wray is a weasel. He needs to be put under oath and then fired.

Thanx bitt.

Will refer to hannity.
The Kenyanesian Usurper corrupted our ENTIRE government.
There were very good reasons for the founders to exclude the children of foreigners with the natural born citizen requirement.
The democrats are stone faced liars and they brought us the HUGE LIE that is Obama. They deserve every bit of hell they get at this point. They've truly earned every bit of it.
Where are they?
Other than Nunes Republicans don't seem interested in demanding answers.
UniParty über alles.
The Swamp does not want to be drained.
Laycock - Wiener 2020
So the FBI Knew:
- Significant portions of the dossier were fabricated.
- Steele, the author of the dossier was desperate to stop Trump.
- Steele specifically asked that the dossier be presented BEFORE the election.
- Steele leaked the dossier to the press.
- Steel was meeting with agents of the State Department. (A foreign Agent colluding with the Obama Administration to effect the outcome of an election!)
But none of this was revealed to the FISA Court Judges.
“Now that Durham is on the case will the IG report even be made public? ... because of “on-going” investagtions”
good question!!
WHY the HELL hasn’t Steele been questioned?
I think the FUSA judges are CORRUPT also!
oopsie...FISA.....although the FU part seems fitting.
WHY the HELL hasn’t Steele been questioned?>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Steele was deposed in a civil suit in London and then refused to talk to anyone as instructed by his own lawyers.
I expect his life is in danger from Democrat Party operatives
and perhaps the Russians, not to mention MI-6 itself that supposedly wants nothing to do with Steele, as if MI-6 was NOT involved, a fact I doubt very much. MI-6 had to be involved somehow.
I expect he will do jail time in the USA.Steele’s connection as an MI-6 cut out are obvious. The British government has a LOT of explaining to do on how it did Obama’s bidding.
Note the timing of Contreras’s appointment to the FISA court.
The fix was already in.
Not just the British government. The Aussies, Canadians, Italians...
And since none of them wipe their backsides without permission from Brussels/Germany, this could get really interesting.
All espionage designed to usurp a duly elected president
of the United States.
That , my FRiend, is an Act of War by International Law definitions.
There has to be a lot of explaining done.
