Prosecutor to Investigate Origins of FBI Trump-Russia Probe

[Anonymous]

According to the above OPINION writer, ninety per cent of the dossier is false. You people are desperate. Trumps’s campaign had over 100 undisclosed meetings with Russians according to the Mueller report. Trump accepted help from foreign sources and we have a traitor and a racist in the White House. You Trumpsters are complicit.

Some in the news media have tried in recent days to rekindle their long-lost love affair with former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and his now infamous dossier.

The main trigger was a lengthy interview in June with the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general, which some news outlets suggested meant U.S. officials have found Steele, the former Hillary Clinton-backed political muckraker, to be believable.

“Investigators ultimately found Steele’s testimony credible and even surprising,” Politico crowed. The Washington Post went even further, suggesting Steele’s assistance to the inspector general might “undermine Trumpworld’s alt-narrative” that the Russia-collusion investigation was flawed.

There is evidence Steele told the DOJ in July, and the State Department in October, about all of these flaws in his work, and that State officials even detected blatant inaccuracies in his intelligence. If so, all of that information should have been flagged by the FBI as potentially derogatory information weighing against Steele’s use as a source for the FISA warrant.

But lest anyone be tempted to think Steele’s 2016 dossier is about to be mysteriously revived as credible, consider this: Over months of work, FBI agents painstakingly researched every claim Steele made about Trump’s possible collusion with Russia, and assembled their findings into a spreadsheet-like document.

The over-under isn’t flattering to Steele.

Multiple sources familiar with the FBI spreadsheet tell me the vast majority of Steele’s claims were deemed to be wrong, or could not be corroborated even with the most awesome tools available to the U.S. intelligence community. One source estimated the spreadsheet found upward of 90 percent of the dossier’s claims to be either wrong, nonverifiable or open-source intelligence found with a Google search.

In other words, it was mostly useless.

That's not how any of this works, Mr. Solomon, which you know.

Dishonest.

Yeah, we'll see how accurate your statement is in coming weeks.
We know that the Mueller report stated he did not conspire with Russia.

And, this report that the FBI found 90% of the dossier either false, unverifiable, or found doing simple google searches goes to the credibility of its author.
This wasn't his opinion, my friend. It was information passed to him.

More should come out soon.

So, what percentage was just false? Not unverifiable, not found with a Google search, just false?

Even John Solomon is panicking. He knows his narrative is in trouble here.

The report didn't say it didn't happen, it said they couldn't prove it because of all of the obstruction of justice, lying, fifth amendment and flat out refusal to testify, as well as destruction of evidence.

There is a difference.

Exactly nowhere does the “Mueller Report state that he did not conspire with Russia.”

The investigation “did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple efforts from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.”

And none of that matters. Dems want to restart the investigation and keep it going, just to keep the noise ratio high.

Mueller found nothing. Pelosi killed Impeachment. They’re scrambling for something. Anything.

Well, now. This is an interesting development.......Wonder if this will be included in the line of questioning of Mueller.

The ink was still drying on special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment papers when his chief deputy, the famously aggressive and occasionally controversial prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, made a bold but secret overture in early June 2017.

Weissmann quietly reached out to the American lawyers for Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash with a tempting offer: Give us some dirt on Donald Trump in the Russia case, and Team Mueller might make his 2014 U.S. criminal charges go away.
-
Two years later, Weissmann’s overture may have far-reaching consequences for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), here and abroad. His former boss, Mueller, is slated to testify Wednesday before Congress.

The DOJ, Mueller’s office and Weissmann did not immediately respond to emails requesting comment on Monday.

At first blush, one might ask, “What’s the big deal?” It’s not unusual for federal prosecutors to steal a page from Monty Hall’s “Let’s Make a Deal” script during plea negotiations.
But Weissmann’s overture was wrapped with complexity and intrigue far beyond the normal federal case, my sources indicate.

At the time, pressure was building inside the DOJ and the FBI to find smoking-gun evidence against Trump in the Russia case because the Steele dossier — upon which the early surveillance warrants were based — was turning out to be an uncorroborated mess. (“There’s no big there there,” lead FBI agent Pete Strzok texted a few days before Weissmann’s overture.)

Likewise, key evidence that the DOJ used to indict Firtash on corruption charges in 2014 was falling apart. Two central witnesses were in the process of recanting testimony, and a document the FBI portrayed as bribery evidence inside Firtash’s company was exposed as a hypothetical slide from an American consultant’s PowerPoint presentation, according to court records I reviewed.

That's interesting but not very exciting.

And won't be a topic of the hearing, since Barr (aka Trump) has limited Mueller to his report only and nothing else.
