“Is there a damn thing in this “report” that was not in Bongino’s book two years ago? In Andrew McCarhty’s book last year?”
We knew that the Dossier was very, very, unverified, but did we know that the FBI had actually verified it was bogus with the primary source (and reported him as open and honest without including that he was open and honest that it was bartalk, gossip, and jests)?
“I think the IG found out about the forgery by Clinesmith - though we already knew that Pages contacts with the Russians were being mischaracterized.”
It seems that Carter Page may have been a CIA-asset or ‘contractor’ who Team Obama decided to sacrifice in an effort to create the Trump-Russia narrative. Think about that. Look how the Media cried & pleaded about the dastardly Republican who “outted” Valerie Plame. That was factually false then, but likely true in this case.
Scooter Libby did time for a false charge. Team Obama would have been pleased if they could have rolled up Carter Page along with Flynn & Manafort. That’s how Team Obama rolls. They are criminals.
