Documents Reveal Steele Was Admonished in February, 2016
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today the FBI turned over 70 pages of heavily redacted records about Christopher Steele, the former British spy, hired with Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee funds, who authored the infamous Dossier targeting President Trump during last year’s presidential campaign.

The documents include a “source closing communication” that states that Steele (referred to as “CHS” or Confidential Human Source) “is being closed” because:

Eleven payments from the FBI to Steele in 2016, but “he wasn’t paid for the dossier” ?
So what was he paid for ?
702 contractor ?
Why aren’t the FISA judges outraged and doing something?
Waiting on President Trump to unredact these documents.

CNN claims the FBI ‘reimbursed’ him for some expenses. -— Kind of like, ‘It wasn’t a spy, it was a confidential informant’.
Makes me think of Hill’s, ‘What difference does it make?’

The FISA judges are selected by John Robers, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Peter Strozk had a personal relationship with FISA Judge Contreras.
It was reported in December 2017 that FISA Judge Contreras had "recused himself" when in fact he was recused by John Roberts.
Contrears was also the presiding judge in the Michael Flynn case.
Be well ....
Good eye.
Thanks bitt.
