Peter Strzok says Steele dossier led FBI on 'wild goose chase'
Fox News ^ | September 08 2020 | Vandana Rambaran

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok, ousted from his position after the discovery of text messages containing anti-Trump comments, admitted a dossier on collusion between the president's campaign and Russia during the 2016 election contained information that led officials on a "wild goose chase."

Strzok told The Atlantic magazine that the dossier, written by former British spy Christopher Steele – one of the agency's key informants in the Russia probe – "was very typical of information that the FBI often receives."

"It comes from several sources, including some suspect sources. Some of it is bull----, and some of it is rumor, and some of it is disinformation," Strzok said. "From our perspective, some of it was a distraction."

Sure it’s loaded with BS, but the FISA court will still fix them up with warrants.

OK...so this obviously is what his criminal defense lawyer is telling him to say.But then we must accept that they all are gonna mount a coordinated defense where all the lawyers settle on one story...kinda like BillyBob’s Whitewater and Impeachment deals.

He’s certainly singing a different song of excuses now isn’t he?

He was in charge of counter intelligence and he ran on a wild goose chase after disinformation and rumors?

After all why would you expect the FBI to be careful about one of the major presidential candidates? Just follow those gooses!

He’s a Liar.

He made up the connection of Papadopolous to Russia when there was none. It was the Get Trump Op. They had to get Trump.

Halper, Mifsud, Ohr and his whoa Nellie, McCabe’s wife. Yates.

They terminated Steele as an informant - and they went back to him because they had to get Trump.

They only kept going back to their failed and desperate boy - because they felt they had to Get Trump.

The Podestas literally made Billions doing what Manafort did - and they weren’t registered as Foreign agents - yet they’re good. No problem.

One has to remember Strzok was the Fixer in the Hillary case before the Dossier.

Maybe Strzok can explain this?

How about all the Immunity handed out like candy for absolutely nothing in return for all of Hillary’s peeps?

No, it did not. They created and used it as intended. They were not ‘victims’ of it as he is trying to claim. Remember, he called it the ‘insurance policy’.

Exactly. They knew it was garbage, but garbage was enough to get them a warrant, and then they were certain that once they could wiretap Trump, they would find the real dirt.

The only problem with the plan was that Trump was clean and there wasn’t any dirt to be found!

No Pete, it did not "lead" to anything.

It was the knowingly fraudulent basis for your false charges to tarnish Trump.

No, Peter Strzok sent the FBI on a wild goose chase with the baseless accusations.
