There is no doubt the FBI small group shared the information about the Steele Dossier with the CNN stenographers in a collaborative effort to generate the illusion of enhanced credibility for the Steele Dossier; a document they knew was demonstrably fraudulent, yet they relied upon it for the Carter Page FISA application. That would be a clear “conspiracy”.
I find it curious that IG Horowitz could not find this email in his latest investigation.
Looks like he read it to me...
