Steele's stunning pre-FISA confession: Informant needed to air Trump dirt before election

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.


And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s ties to Russia.

Steele’s client “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8,” the date of the 2016 election...

The report is NOT discredited. If you were looking for dirt on someone and it was discovered that they were a serial killer, should they not be prosecuted just because you were looking for dirt? It would have been wrong NOT to look into it. If anything, the dems should have turned over the info voluntarily before McCain ever got the chance.

If you're investigating a series of murders, you need probable cause for search warrants. This is totally different.

In this case, the Clinton campaign was not investigating wrongdoing. They fabricated fake wrongdoing and used it (by lying to the court) as a basis to get warrants to spy on the Trump campaign to try to find something to use against Trump.

That part is under dispute, there was a thread yesterday stating CIA spying was he trigger. You say it was the Steele dossier, FBI day it was Popadopulus loose lips to a diplomat, Director Ray stayed yesterday he has no evidence of “spying”.

All this is as clear as mud, no one has put together a time line of ALL parts to determine how they line up. And apparently no one wants Congress to find out either since The Executive is blocking witnesses that could clear it up some.

Steele himself said it wasn't true.

The Steele Dossier, Hillary Clinton’s Malignant Gift to America

...The answer is complex, but at its heart is a set of documents compiled into a collection known as the “Steele dossier.” The dossier, characterized by James Comey under oath as “salacious and unverified,” consisted of opposition research compiled by a former British intelligence officer and commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Taken as whole, it undermined the credibility of American intelligence agencies, corrupted elements of the media, and distorted the public debate. It may well be one of the most malignant documents in modern American history.

This entire thing is the scandal of the century or even more. So much for the "scandal-less" Obama admin narrative.

Let's see. The FBI, accused of being biased and getting a FISA warrant under false pretenses says it did not get a warrant under false pretenses. Yeah, I believe them.

That is a statement of opinion, no factual information is provided in the statement hence the lack of quotes provided other than Comey’s.

And make up your mind about Comey already. Is he truthful or not? You quote him here and take his word, yet I also see that you don’t trust him. Which is it?
