"The Trump-Russia collusion investigation narrative continued to collapse in spectacular fashion, as Hillary Clinton's leading role in the scandal came into sharper focus..."

Huh?

When was this reported?

Well it is something that came out in the interview of FBI General Counsel (at the time) James Baker by the House. But because it was literally the same day as the Kavanaugh hearing it got zero traction in the news.

Here though is Fox New's super-reporter Catherine Herridge report from last week:

Top FBI lawyer Baker offers 'explosive' testimony on 'abnormal' handling of Russia probe into Trump campaign: lawmakers

Former top FBI lawyer James Baker gave "explosive" closed-door testimony on Wednesday detailing for congressional investigators how the Russia probe was handled in an "abnormal fashion" reflecting "political bias," according to two Republican lawmakers present for the deposition.

"Some of the things that were shared were explosive in nature," Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., told Fox News. "This witness confirmed that things were done in an abnormal fashion. That's extremely troubling."

...

"During the time that the FBI was putting -- that DOJ and FBI were putting together the FISA (surveillance warrant) during the time prior to the election -- there was another source giving information directly to the FBI, which we found the source to be pretty explosive," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.

Meadows and Jordan would not elaborate on the source, or answer questions about whether the source was a reporter. They did stress that the source who provided information to the FBI’s Russia case was not previously known to congressional investigators.

Since then we have found out what that was, that a Perkins Coie lawyer was giving the Russia Dossier information directly to Baker (the top lawyer at the FBI) prior to the FISA investigation being started.


Perkins Coie political operative and Russian-intel cut-out Michael Sussman.
