We previously discussed former Clinton aide Brian Fallon calling the Steele Dossier "money well spent"-a dossier that the IG believed may have been used for Russian intelligence for disinformation. There is however one thing money is "not well spent" on... jonathanturley.org/2017/10/25/cli…

Notably in 2016, Fallon attacked Sanders and declared "Bernie Sanders represents that caricature that Republicans like to put forward." The former DOJ Director of Public Affairs is now calling to defund of all police.That is not a caricature. That is crazy thenation.com/article/archiv…

Rosenstein just testified that he would not have signed the warrant application in 2017 on Carter Page because of the misconduct of FBI agents and the lack of evidence. He said he did not know that the Steele dossier was discredited by that time. He said McCabe particularly...
