So Schiff didn't push the issue of the dossier's origin very hard. He allowed Goldfarb to get away with declining to answer a couple of times.
Contrast that with how he handle Eric Prince when Prince refused to answer questions posed to him.
When David Kramer's attorney objected to the request from a Republican congressman to name the sources for the dossier shown to him by Steele, Schiff took a different tone.
'Let's all agree not to press the witness, ok?'
If the President does declassify more documents related to Danchenko, and the dossier is even further discredited, will Dems then pivot to accusing Republicans of helping fund and disseminate the dossier?
Interesting note about Woolsey's publicist: a deleted tweet of his was included in one of my threads. I can no longer find any trace of that tweet on the internet, save my thread. He made an explosive claim, that Woolsey was helping to obtain "recorded" evidence, and a threat.
Christopher Steele admitted in court testimony that it was his hope John McCain would pass the dossier to fellow members of Congress, like, um, Marco Rubio. 🤨

The party line from David Kramer and Glen Simpson has been that the goal was always for McCain to pass the dossier to Comey.
But when confronted by texts in court, Steele admits he didn't want it to go back to the FBI.

Had the dossier made it to Rubio, that would have been am impressive laundering of intel that began as oppo research on his primary opponent.
But we don't know what Steele's motive was for passing it to McCain. It may have been to dirty up as many Republicans as possible.
The most glaring omission from Peter Strzok’s book “Compromised” is any mention of the FARA investigation into George Papadopoulos for his ties to Israel.
Why is this lack of discussion important?
Let’s take a closer look. 🧐

There are 14 mentions of Carter Page compared to 114 mentions of George Papadopoulos in Strzok’s book.
That disparity makes sense when we consider how the Crossfire Hurricane cases were divided up.

We learned from the Strzok/Page texts there were two sides of the house: one side was the PapaD & Flynn investigations supervised by Peter Strzok; the other side, the Carter Page investigation supervised by Jennifer Boone.
