Then why write the report?
Was this a draft for a novel?
How could McCain ever be a proper channel?
no mention about possibly being paid by the FBI for it? long before McCain became the bag man ?
Didn’t the FBI hire this guy? Who was his client who betrayed him? I am confused.
Mr. Steele’s court filing portrays him as a victim of Fusion GPS — the Washington firm that hired him with money from a Hillary Clinton backer.
Is he admitting this and deflecting blame because Trump’s lawyers started an action (I think I read this a few days ago)?
And, is there any truth to the rumor I heard that Comey and others used this fantasy dossier as the basis for the FISA taps on Trump and related parties?
What is wrong with this picture????????? and why hasn't McCain been investigated for gullibility or stupidity or collaboration something?
He does all this, puts together this bunch of lies, talks to reporters about it, gives it to a politician who is immune from lawsuit, and who hates President Trump.
Then he says it is not his fault that the dossier got published, because... ah... everyone he gave it too was under an obligation not to publish it?
Let’s see those contractual agreements that his clients signed that insured this fabricated material would not be published.
Should be easy. He says he was assured that material would be kept confidential.
Comey was prepared to pay Steele $50,000 to continue investigating Trump. Comey used Steele's “dossier” as justification to launch his Trump/Russia investigation. Steele was first hired by an anti-Trump GOP entity to gather dirt for the GOP primary. When Trump won the primary Steele went to work for Hillary backers. When the news media wouldn't touch the “dossier” Steele passed it to Comey through John McCain. While Steele was in touch with Comey Buzzfeed published to “dossier” and the sh*tstorm started.
Some Republicans have questioned why the FBI would try to put a Democratic-paid opposition researcher on the payroll, especially one who produced a dossier that remains unproven. The Times said the FBI wanted Mr. Steele to provide more proof of his charges.
Well, the FBI is useless and down right F’ing stupid.
That memo, after accusing Mr. Gubarev, then recounts from previous memos a supposed trip Mr. Cohen took to Prague in late August to meet with Russian agents and devise a plan to cover up the purported Trump team’s role in the hacking.
Mr. Cohen calls the dossier “fabricated.” He has shown that he was in California at the time and has never been to Prague. He told The Washington Times that he has instructed his attorneys to investigate a lawsuit against Mr. Steele.
Ha! Now we all know when “the IC” says it's not a terrorist attack, they have no clue what the F they are talking about. “The IC” couldn't figure out Cohen was not in Prague? Really?
I also understand the underhanded motivation one might have to make unreliable information public, such as slandering a political enemy.
But what is the point of gathering a bunch of unreliable information and then keeping it secret? Something is fishy about his claims.
It almost worked.
So McCain was the bag man. Makes perfect sense to me?!
Why write the report? He was being paid handsomely by Jeb Bush, the NeverTrump GOPe, and then Hillary. That’s why.
I am seriously looking forward to the day that that grinning bastard Soros assumes room temperature.
CC
I thought it was cleared first through Dan Rather. /sarc
If he gave it to McCain, did McCain give him the money from the FBI?
That’s a big deal.
Does anyone know who that “anti-Trump GOP entity” is?
