Trump dossier author Steele gets 16-hour DOJ grilling
The interview was contentious at first, according to two people familiar with the matter, but investigators ultimately found his testimony credible and even surprising.

    Surprising when he admitted he made it all up?

    The takeaway has irked some U.S. officials interviewed as part of the probe — they argue that it shouldn’t have taken a foreign national to convince the inspector general that the FBI acted properly in 2016.


    Sounds like Trumptards won’t like the results of this investigation...

    is on the record as “The FBI acted ‘properly’”😂😂😂

    Which news organization told you this Hondo?

    And it's a documented fact that Trump's team met with a Russian team to discuss giving DNC emails and Hillary emails to Trump.

    Got to love how Hondo is the biggest purveyor of pure bullshit here on this board loves to complain about other people's news organizations lying to them.

    So you really think teachers across the country are primarily liberal? You do realize that their demographic is probably pretty close to the same as the general population, right?

    Read it and you're lying. Btw, you made that statement before the Mueller report was even released and of course you're still lying about the Mueller Report supporting your lie.

    Yeah, every time you're quoted sticking your head up your ass it was always "taken out of context."

    We've been through this countless times but we can always revisit. No doubt many were disappointed that Mueller felt his scope was so limited he investigated a pre-agreed conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the GRU, something no one alleged happened. The fact he investigated something no one alleged happened and found enough evidence that he couldn't exonerate members of the campaign is very concerning for the country. That he found countless examples of collusion and documents multiple instances of obstruction of justice are extremely concerning. Shocking that not a single word in the report was redacted for counter-intel purposes so the ongoing counter-intel investigation as well as the multiple other investigations spawned from the SC investigation will hopefully lead us closer to the truth this president and his team continue to try and conceal.

    Found this part of the article particularly compelling. Bertrand is a good journalist and has written many good pieces on the ongoing investigation.

    But the extensive interview with Steele, and the investigators’ sense that he offered new and important information, may dampen expectations among the president’s allies who’ve claimed that Steele’s sensational dossier was used improperly by the bureau to “spy” on the campaign.

    Page had been on the FBI’s radar since 2013, when he interacted with undercover Russian intelligence agents in New York City. A trip to Moscow in the summer of 2016 further aroused the bureau’s suspicions, according to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant the FBI got approved in October 2016, allowing the bureau to intercept his electronic communications.

    Steele’s defenders have noted that the information he provided which made it into the FISA warrant application to monitor Page was not far off. According to Steele’s sources, Page met with high-level Russian officials while in Moscow in July 2016, including the CEO of Russia’s state-owned oil giant Rosneft.

    Page denied the claim publicly until pressed under oath by lawmakers in 2017, when he acknowledged meeting “senior members of the presidential administration” during his trip, as well as the head of investor relations at Rosneft. Page had originally claimed only that he went to Moscow to give the commencement address at the New Economic School.
