Obama DOJ Officials Knew Their Spy Warrant For Trump Official Would Be Controversial And Second-Guessed

Well, Christopher Steele, Department of Justice investigators interviewed the ex-MI6 spy who compiled the infamous Trump dossier. That document, a Clinton-funded piece of political opposition research, was one of the key pieces of so-called evidence that was used to fan the flames of the Russian collusion myth. The dossier’s credibility was immediately questioned, as a large portion of the information in it couldn’t be verified. In fact, most of it remains unverified. It doesn’t matter. The report filed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller debunked all of it. Trump and his campaign team didn’t collude with the Russians. There was no conspiracy.

And yet, it was cited as credible evidence in securing a FISA spy warrant against Carter Page, Trump’s former foreign policy adviser for the campaign. Was this document even verified? From the looks of it, that doesn’t appear to be the case. There were glaring errors in it, some of which could are easily been debunked with a simple Google search. If these sources were doling out inaccuracies, what else were they wrong about? Those running the Obama DOJ never questioned that apparently. To make matters worse, James Baker, the FBI’s general counsel at the time, knew their decisions would be controversial and second-guessed. Also, in 2017, FBI agents interviewed one of Steele’s sources and the conclusion was not really a shocker to those who felt this whole narrative was trash: the information relayed was not reliable.

Steele had previously refused to cooperate, but only recently agreed to be interviewed by investigators with the DOJ inspector general’s office who are investigating the alleged FISA abuses during the 2016 campaign. This certainly put a delay on whatever deadline this office put on the report, which has some Democrats and former Obama intelligence chiefs a bit nervous and for good reason (via NYT):



LOL at anyone who pretended to be an intelligence expert while getting duped by conman Christopher Steele. https://t.co/uDBxVxiYFM

This would at least explain the long IG delay. The story weirdly suggests delay is because IG wanted Steele info. Would seem equally likely that IG is investigating Steele's very credibility. https://t.co/XGv794MKpl
