The more I read about the dossier the trashier it gets. The guy - a self proclaimed Trump hater - basically compiled all of his material from unverified third party sources, including HRC's own campaign reps. I don't think that is even debatable anymore. The dems wanted a conspiracy so badly that it looks like they created one. I'd love to see the DNC memo but there would have to be some serious stuff in it to sway my take.

Wait til he has to testify in court. Fusion GPS is being sued by three Russian billionaires and Trump. They'll have to come clean on the information they put in the dossier.

The only reason its been "debatable" to this point is because Adam Schiff has gone to court to prevent the american people from finding this out.

Steele has been referred for criminal investigation.

Doesn't that make ya scratch your head and ask, how would people in the State Department know that Steele was working on such a dossier?

That would be a legitimate question.

If the answer wasn’t so readily apparent...

Memo on the state department investigation is due by Friday.

This means that we may get both the criminal referral from Grassley AND the state department memo prior to Schiffs butthurt memo.

Btw, Schiffs memo supposedly doesnt deny anything about the original memo, other than to say the fisa judge was supposedly informed of the "slant" of the dossier buried in a footnote. That, of course, would still be irrelevant. It would still violate the Wood Act fo rutilizing non verified material, AND it ommitted that the DNC and Hillary paid for the dossier.

So,

when does Fransicko Nan start moaning about Schiffty stepping down as minority leader of House Intel committee for releasing this memo?

Wasn't Nunes revealing sources and methods, only nothing of the sort ever happened? Schit peddlers. The lot of them.
