NEW: Andrew McCabe's recent defenses of FBI and Steele dossier crumbled under weight of IG report.

For example, McCabe told Carl Bernstein on Oct. 3 that FBI had previously used Steele info for warrants and indictments.

But IG flatly disputed that. dailycaller.com/2019/12/17/and…
IG report said that Steele's handling agent (Michael Gaeta) expressed frustration that Crossfire Hurricane team was falsely claiming that Steele's info was used in indictments/warrants.
McCabe also told Bernstein on Oct. 3 that FBI was unable to disprove much of Steele dossier by the time he was fired.

McCabe *didn't* disclose that Steele's source repudiated the dossier, and that the Cohen-Prague claim had been debunked.
It's been a pattern of the McCabe/Comey crowd -- they've hyped whatever they can to try to bolster Steele and the dossier while completely ignoring everything else that's undermined him.

I for one think it's great that Chuck Todd is going to shine a light on Chuck Todd's role in spreading disinformation about Trump-Russia collusion. apnews.com/4dc780dd84d744…
Hope this makes the disinformation special:

It's worth rewatching Jane Mayer's interview with Morning Joe about her Chris Steele profile from last year in light of the IG report which undercut the thesis of the whole article.
I'd forgotten this part -- Mayer wrote that Comey told Obama in a briefing about dossier that FBI was confident in it b/c FBI had worked in the past with Steele's sources and sub-sources.

“He’s proven credible in the past, and so has his network,” Comey said, per Mayer.
That doesn't square with the IG report. By the time Comey briefed Obama, Steele had told the FBI several months earlier that he thought one of the dossier's main sub-sources was a "boaster" and "embellisher."

GRAHAM asks if @comey is vindicated by IG report, as he's claiming.
HOROWITZ: "The activities we found here don't vindicate anybody who touched this."
@Comey Horowitz tells Graham he is unable to say if political bias did or didn't motivate FBI agents to withhold information that undercut Steele dossier.
@Comey Horowitz is now highlighting one of the craziest deceptions in FISA applications

FBI said that Steele's main source was deemed "credible," but did *not* say that the source repudiated Steele's claims in dossier

Thread: Harold Finch Reads James Clapper’s Body Language (and it’s glorious!)

1. Intrepid independent researcher NameRedacted was suspended multiple times here on Tw@tter for what amounts to hurting the feelings of leftists and challenging their blatant lies.
2. In his last resurrection as “Harold Finch,” he was subsequently suspended and has since moved to Telegram where he runs a repository consisting of important factoids, links, and personal commentary. He can be found here:
web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@The_Li…
3. In that capacity, he posts important threads from time to time that deserve a wider audience. In this instance, he dissected a recent appearance by James Clapper (Obama’s DNI) on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN.

Andrew McCarthy Makes Key Point About FBI Investigation: "they used the Steele Dossier; the dossier was only about Trump"... theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/01/13/and… via @thelastrefuge2
The NYT wrote their article about the FBI opening an investigation on President Trump ‘as if‘ that was some big revelation; however, McCarthy points out the FBI believed the Steele Dossier and used it as evidence in their FISA applications.
The Steele Dossier was only about Donald Trump, no-one else. The fact that the FBI would believe and use the Steele Dossier is proof alone their investigation was always and only about Donald Trump.

"McCabe called [Flynn] to arrange the interview and explained that the FBI needed to talk to him in light of the “media coverage and public discussion about his recent contacts with Russian representatives." Is that not a lie? Didn't FBI itself leak to press as part of #SoftCoup?
"[Flynn] said he did not remember something [FBI] knew he said." How did FBI know? How did press know? They were spying on #Flynn as part of #SoftCoup #FlynnEntrapment. First Flynn, then @realDonaldTrump : #InsurancePolicy
3. This is how the perjury trap works: #DeepStateSwamp holdovers spy on the new National Security Advisor, then give him a memory test on ways to misconstrue his statements. cbsnews.com/news/special-c…

Andrew McCabe, the corrupt little weasel who was deputy FBI Director from the Comey days was running scared. So scared in fact he cancelled a House Intellgence Commiettee testimony.
/2
He was scared because it’s been discovered that Bruce Ohr’s wife was working with Fusion GPS.

McCabe’s wife got three quarters of a million dollars for a failed congressional campaign as a Democrat.

Remember the Feb 28 “unity” dinner between AG Jeff Sessions, Deputy AG Director Rod Rosenstein, and Inspector General, Noel Francisco? In light of #McCabe’s firing - this gets a second look.

1/
axios.com/scoop-jeff-ses…
The dinner made headlines for 2 reasons: for appearing to show the top 3 DOJ official in an open display of unity against Trump and because it occurred on the same day as Trump tweeted an “attack” against Jeff Sessions

2/
This followed a previous Trump tweet in another “attack” on Sessions a few days earlier - appearing to blame Sessions for the ongoing investigations into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.
