Newly Declassified Document Indicates FBI Misled Congress on Reliability of Steele Dossier
Senate ^

Posted on 08/09/2020 8:53:29 AM PDT by janetjanet998

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today released a newly declassified FBI document that indicates the Bureau misled the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2018 about the Steele dossier’s Primary Sub-source and, therefore, the reliability of the Steele dossier.

“This document clearly shows that the FBI was continuing to mislead regarding the reliability of the Steele dossier. The FBI did to the Senate Intelligence Committee what the Department of Justice and FBI had previously done to the FISA Court: mischaracterize, mislead and lie. The characterizations regarding the dossier were completely out of touch with reality in terms of what the Russian sub-source actually said to the FBI.

“What does this mean? That Congress as well as the FISA Court was lied to about the reliability of the Russian sub-source. I will be asking FBI Director Wray to provide me all the details possible about how the briefing was arranged and who provided it.

“Inspector General Horowitz’s team found this briefing document. Inspector General Horowitz and his team deserve great credit for uncovering systematic fraud at Department of Justice surrounding the Carter Page FISA warrant. I’m also very appreciative of the Department of Justice’s release of the FBI document used to brief the Senate Intelligence Committee.”

FBI's new logo features the phrase "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!!!". What a bunch of dishonest, integrity-free sleazeballs.

*Yawn*

Gee, no shirt, shirlock.

Another day, another FBI/DeepState/IntelGangster Outrage.

Meanwhile they cash taxpayer checks and go on junkets to forbidden islands.

As if their sponsors and co-workers in the legislature or DoJ are ever going to do something about it.

Well, if this report isn’t enough to generate some charges on illegal activity within the FBI, then maybe the next one will, or the one after that, or the one after that, and on and on and on.......

onathan Turley @JonathanTurley The FBI briefing of the Senate Intelligence Committee was just declassified. It states that the sub-source for Steele confirmed that the information was not fabricated in the Report. By that point, the FBI knew the sub-source ridiculed the Report and the use of his information...

...The document at best is misleading by omission. At worst, it is untrue by design. The question is who was the briefer and who signed off on the briefing. By 2017, the FBI had already heard from both the CIA and the sub source that the Steele Report was unreliable.

...By the time of this briefing, Congress was already looking into allegations that the Steele dossier funding by the Clinton campaign was based on false information. That raises the question of whether Congress was given false information...

There is no mention that agents flagged the possible use of Steele by Russian intelligence to spread false information. It does not mention that in 2017 the information was discredited by both the sub-source and investigators. This reaffirms the need for the Durham investigation. https://twitter.com/JonathanTurley/status/1292462381612830720

Bad things were done. Very bad things. But nobody in particular did them.

This was done during the current FBI Director’s watch. Time for him to go.

Does anybody really believe DC types any more?

Comey and Breann and McCabe are living lives of luxury right now. Not in prison (don’t make me laugh). Trump allies were set for prison: Stone, Flynn and Manafort. Not the leftists.

Intelligence community scoundrels with so much power at their command (our phone calls recorded, emails stored for later blackmail use, medical and credit card records, inside secrets used against us). And they always skate and the Dems always skate.

Sorry, the system is broken.

Systematic fraud at Department of Justice.

Going to be a hell of a trial with zero loop holes after all the evidence is in.
The swamp gets shallower
