Dossier author Christopher Steele will be questioned by US investigators: report
Fox News ^ | June 4, 2019 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 06/04/2019 8:40:33 AM PDT by jazusamo

Former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier of salacious and unverified claims about the president’s ties to Russia, has agreed to be questioned by investigators from the United States, according to a report in Britain.

The Times (UK) cited sources close to Steele on Tuesday in reporting that the 54-year-old is set to be interviewed in London within weeks. The development comes as attention has returned to the dossier authored by Steele -- especially since its more sensational claims were not substantiated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose report found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.

The paper did not specifically say who Steele would be interviewed by.

But there are several ongoing investigations in the U.S. related to the origins of the Russia probe, and federal investigators are probing how the Democrat-funded anti-Trump dossier written by Steele was used to secure surveillance warrants for a former Trump campaign adviser in 2016.

Jeepers. With the years this garbage has been kicked down the road it is a surprise he has not passed from old age.

Trumps visit must have broke the logjam.

There have been so many lies told, it is impossible keep them straight, and coherent. Every participant in the seditious coup attempt is in serious jeopardy.

Interview him at the US embassy to set stage for any later perjury charge.

Yep, just looked it up. They were hung in the Old Arsenal Penitentiary, military district of D.C.

Actually; I would blame Steele far less than the people who took his garbage and ran with it, either believing it to be true or wanting to use it is a weapon. He was selling a crap sandwich and people have a right to sell crap sandwiches.

Confessions would be wonderful. But conviction, followed by swift execution of sentence would make a nice consolation prize.

He’ll do a Mueller..THEY all HAVE BEEN WELL rehearsed!! Trust me he didn’t just pop up for the hell of it to spew the truth or sing like a canary! If you haven’t noticed yet the swamp evil creatures are very very tightly lipped... they’ve had three years to cover their butts and plan the next stage! Just like I said about Mueller when he rushed to the microphone Steele too will speak only to muddle the waters even more so! The agenda has not changed ......It’s all about getting rid of Trump come hell or high water....nothing has changed!

I wonder who those investigators will be? If it's Nadler's, no help there. If it's AG Barr's or Sen Graham's then there is some hope.

I would think it would be AG Barr’s being it will be in London, if not it won’t be worth spit in my view.

Remember, he COULD be extradited as a material witness to a felony.

And Britain would comply.

All that is needed is the first felony charge.

Awesome! Should have happened year ago! Did Mueller question this clown? If no, then why TF not and why TF isn’t it news? If yes, then what TF got answered and why TF isn’t it news?

After all that has been disclosed over the last three years, there has yet to be a single felony charge against anyone in the fbi/cia/nsa. Well except maybe mccabe for leaking about the clinton email scandal.

From the article:

“They suspect the dossier creators may have been involved in Mueller’s operation, and even had a hand in his final report, because the special counsel sent his team to London to meet with Steele within a few months of taking over the Russia collusion investigation in 2017. Also, Mueller’s lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, had shared information he received from Fusion with the media.”

Makes me wonder whether PDJT struck a deal with the Brits, during his UK visit.
