If I have to rely on someone to tell me what to believe .... well .... I must have dementia. WTF is BB?
How bout those recent revelations of the Steele dossier?
Let's see
1. one atty lied about documents to a judge ... I think that is a crime. There was no impact on SD.
2. one atty who provided info to FBI was indicted for lying about his status. There was no impact on SD.
3. one Russian indicted for lying to FBI regarding intel provided to Steele. Durham's indictment reads like it came from Trump lawyers. I'll have to wait to see the evidence. My guess is, it will be murky. But regardless, the SD was raw intel, just like any received in a war zone. Some is good and some is not so good. I don't pass judgement on the quality of intel, only that there is intel. And in spite of this, the SD still had no impact on opening an investigation into the possibility the Trump campaign was involved with Russians.
I think AG Barr was protecting himself. He saw the evidence. The investigation was legitimately predicated and conducted without bias. What was he going to report? O there was nothing to report.
I only have one opinion about the SD. There is an item which anti-SD people say proves it is all lies, is Cohen was in Prague. Cohen says he wasn't. Steele believes he was. What does the dossier say? It says the Russians BELIEVED the phone used in Prague belonged to Cohen. {Speculation: if the sourcing was good, could it be the Russians were told by the campaign that number was from high ranking member of Trump's inner circle, maybe Cohen's. Is that possible? Who knows. I find the item interesting since no one has mentioned this speculation as a possible explanation ... if it is accurate.}
