Bad news for Chris Steele, Kathy Kavalec and especially Victoria Nuland

The IG report confirms at least one of you is lying about your meeting at the State Dept. in Oct 2016.

THREAD

Nuland testified under oath to the Senate Intelligence Committee that she was "not aware of" an Oct 2016 meeting with Steele at the State Dept. "until afterwards"

(Of course that never made any sense because directly before that Nuland said she "actively chose not to be a part of the" Steele briefing. You can't actively not go to a meeting you don't know is happening....)

Steele told the IG that Nuland *was meant to be at the meeting*, but he arrived late from the airport, and so Nuland departed before he got there 🤔

Kavalec told the IG that Nuland specifically directed her to attend the meeting with Steele. Yep, the meeting Nuland said under oath she wasn't even aware of until afterwards, she specifically directed a subordinate to attend🤔

The IG report fails to clear up these mutually contradictory accounts and the IG appears not to have challenged Steele/Kavalec/Nuland about who was telling the truth about a key meeting right before the election

And of course no criminal referrals for lying, heaven forbid
