Told agents on the team that they had to get her.

- the House GOP has thoroughly beclowned themselves in exposing the fact that people in the FBI were concerned that the GOP presidential nominee was maybe a Russian asset based on Page's description of the "insurance policy"

- There were "Herculean efforts were taken to try to prove and — or disprove or corroborate in any way the statements contained in the Steele report." She can't go into details.

-Lisa Page says the FBI is an extraordinarily "conservative organization" and so "the notion that there's a deep state conspiracy about anything is laughable."

Here who Trump has begrimed and removed from the FBI thus far:

-Ohr: 30years at DOJ taking down Russian mafia
-McCabe: Former NY FBI supervisory special agent Eurasian Org Crime Task Force
-Lisa Page: Russian mafia expert, particularly Mogilevich -Strzok: Lead agent on 2010 bust of 'illegals' Russian spy ring


Exactly

Good reminder that they were all Russia and organized crime experts

The dossier that McCain hand delivered to Comey? That one?



The one that was paid for by whom again? Yah this declas is going to be fun- all right before the 2020 election.


A lot of people paid for the dossier. One of the few recent bipartisan efforts.

Have you read Ohr's testimony?


No. The dossier was funded by Clinton/DNC:

Ohr went further, saying he disclosed to FBI agents that his wife and Steele were working for the same firm and that it was conducting the Trump-Russia research project at the behest of Trump’s Democratic rival, the Clinton campaign.

“These guys were hired by somebody relating to, who’s related to the Clinton campaign and be aware,” Ohr told Congress, explaining what he warned the bureau.

Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented both the DNC and the Clinton campaign during the 2016 election, belatedly admitted it paid Fusion GPS for Steele’s work on behalf of the candidate and party and disguised the payments as legal bills when, in fact, it was opposition research.

ADVERTISEMENT
When asked if he knew of any connection between the Steele dossier and the DNC, Ohr responded that he believed the project was really connected to the Clinton campaign.

“I didn’t know they were employed by the DNC but I certainly said yes that they were working for, you know, they were somehow working, associated with the Clinton campaign,” he answered.

“I also told the FBI that my wife worked for Fusion GPS or was a contractor for GPS, Fusion GPS.”

This! My dad had a 35 yr career with DoJ and knew hundreds of FBI big wigs personally. They were overwhelmingly conservative. Conservatives seem to be bending over backwards to find justification that Trump isn’t dirty. He is! Just accept it and let’s move on for the sake of our country.

Opinion articles can still contain facts. No part of the dossier was funded by republicans. The republicans dropped Fusion GPS before they hired Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier.

Sick of liberals spreading lies. Over and over and over again. They are either totally ignorant or purposely dishonest. Pick one.

1. Prosecutors are not necessarily "higher up" than the FBI.
2. FBI is tasked with investigating potential bad acts; prosecutors are charged with legally determining if there is a basis to charge someone with a crime based on the evidence uncovered by the FBI. There are many cases where the FBI believes there is a crime, but legally, the actions/evidence do not meet that threshold.

He did not pay for it. McCain was given the dossier by his aide, Kramer, who received it from its alleged author, Christopher Steele.

And Steel was known enough and trusted enough to believe it. To date, nothing in the dossier has been disproven. Some is unprovable.

You sound like Comey trying to justify your actions. There was plenty of evidence to meet the threshold. Comey actually should have recused himself from anything dealing with the Clintons.

Fun Fact: Comey's brother worked for the firm that audited the Clinton Foundation books.

Now it so happens that James Comey has a brother, Peter Comey, who had an executive position with the Washington law firm that did the audit of the Clinton foundation in 2015. Peter Comey was officially DLA Piper “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas,” in 2015 when the Clinton Foundation scandals first broke and Hillary was preparing her Presidential campaign. Not only was DLA Piper, the firm where Comey’s brother worked, involved in the audit of the Clinton Foundation. According to the foundation’s donor records, DLA Piper has given between $50,000 and $100,000 to the foundation.

There are other “coincidences” such as James Comey’s role before becoming FBI head as Vice President for top defense contractor Lockheed Martin, which became a corporate donor to the Clinton Foundation.

Peter Comey, working for the law firm that did the audit of the Clinton Foundation, at the time his brother headed the FBI and led the whitewash of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton matters a heck of a lot. Even the mere hint of such conflict of interest ought to have led to FBI director Comey recusing himself from any contact with the 2016 Clinton email server investigation.

Steele has said, repeatedly, that the dossier was unverified.
And, I suppose when his deposition is released tomorrow, we will hear that - AGAIN.
