The FBI briefing of the Senate Intelligence Committee was just declassified. It states that the sub-source for Steele confirmed that the information was not fabricated in the Report. By that point, the FBI knew the sub-source ridiculed the Report and the use of his information...
...The document at best is misleading by omission. At worst, it is untrue by design. The question is who was the briefer and who signed off on the briefing. By 2017, the FBI had already heard from both the CIA and the sub source that the Steele Report was unreliable.
...By the time of this briefing, Congress was already looking into allegations that the Steele dossier funding by the Clinton campaign was based on false information. That raises the question of whether Congress was given false information...
There is no mention that agents flagged the possible use of Steele by Russian intelligence to spread false information. It does not mention that in 2017 the information was discredited by both the sub-source and investigators. This reaffirms the need for the Durham investigation.
Notably, most of the media has yet to mention the report, let alone address the implications of this new information. It is precisely the willful blindness that I previously discussed. jonathanturley.org/2020/07/27/wil… Here is the release of the Senate Committee. judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…
