"as not having been “corroborated.” Then the right jumped all over that quasi-rebuttal as a lifeline to attack the whole thing. Months later most has been corroborated & NONE has been disproved. Deja vu "
More BS!
Bruce Ohr admitted that he told the FBI that the dossier was not-verified and could not be verified.
"Steele’s correspondence with the business associate is the latest piece of evidence suggesting the former British spy may not have been as well-versed or -sourced in Russian intelligence as he was portrayed when the FBI used his now-infamous anti-Trump dossier to support a request for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page."
"From my earlier reporting, we know that former FBI lawyer Lisa Page told Congress this past summer that in May 2017 — seven months after the FISA warrant was issued, and nine months after the Russia probe was started — the FBI had not corroborated the main allegation in Steele’s dossier about collusion between Moscow and the Trump."
"And former FBI Director James Comey testified in June 2017 that the dossier was considered unverified and salacious."
"During a December 2016 meeting, Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr recorded Simpson in written notes as saying that some people believed one of the allegations of collusion “but others disagree.”
More importantly, Simpson told Ohr that Steele’s main source wasn’t in Moscow but, rather, was a former Russian intelligence figure in Washington, the notes show.
“Much of the collection about the Trump campaign ties to Russia comes from a former Russian intelligence officer (? not entirely clear) who lives in the US,” Ohr wrote in his notes, quoting Simpson.
In other words, Steele’s intelligence was hearsay collected a continent away from Moscow."
