They got them from BRUCE OHR & there’s documentary proof
THREAD
1) Bruce Ohr of DOJ met with Steele in D.C @ 9am Sat Jul 30
2) Steele’s name was on 3 key memos by the time he met Ohr:
—Trump “compromized” by Putin
—Page secretly meeting Russians
—Manafort-led “extensive conspiracy” to hack DNC
3) Steele gave this info to Ohr
4) Ohr then met with McCabe & Page with the purpose of “passing on” Steele’s info to them
5) They met in McCabe’s Office, on the same day Ohr met Steele
6) Ohr gave Steele’s info to McCabe/Page in that meeting
7) Investigation opened the next day, Sun Jul 31
(This isn’t “sources familiar” or “officials”, like those spinning to the media that @GeorgePapa19 was the “spark” for the investigation into Trump being opened in the first place)
From an email FOIA’d by @JudicialWatch. This meeting was at the Mayflower Hotel in D.C
TRIVIA: That’s also the same hotel anon “officials” accused Jeff Sessions of secretly meeting Russian ambassador Kislyak
@RepAdamSchiff: “the FBI’s closely held investigative team only received Steele’s reporting in mid-Sep...7 weeks [after July 31]”
DOJ OIG: Page was part of that “closely held investigative team” on Russia
UH: Page received Steele’s reporting from Ohr Jul 30
And that’s before we factor in that Strzok and Page were illicit lovers who texted each other dozens of times a day
Maybe Page didn’t mention the Ohr/Steele bombshell info to her lover?
—Documentary proof that Deputy FBI Director MCCABE & his legal counsel PAGE were in possession of the core Steele dossier allegations on Sat Jul 30 2016
—One day *before* the FBI opened an investigation into Trump on Sun Jul 31 2016
—Schiff’s memo wrong. AGAIN
