Christopher Steele agrees to be questioned by US officials over his relationship with FBI
Report: Christopher Steele agrees to be questioned by US officials over his relationship with FBI
06/04/19 ~ By Tal Axelrod
Christopher Steele, the former MI6 operative infamous for collecting a dossier alleging ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow, among other sordid details, has agreed to be questioned by U.S. officials about his relationship with the FBI.... A source close to Steele told The Times he will meet with investigators in London in the coming weeks. Republicans have long alleged it was Steele’s dossier that improperly led to an FBI inquiry, which ultimately morphed into special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible coordination between the Trump and campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.... The Justice Department’s internal watchdog is investigating aspects of the Mueller probe, including whether officials abused their power when they ordered surveillance of a former campaign aide partially based on information from Steele’s dossier.
The source told The Times that while Steele was initially reluctant to be questioned as part of the Justice Department’s inquiry, he reconsidered after reports said the investigation could ultimately criticize him and throw his credibility into question.

As a refresher in this witch hunt, Hillary's campaign hired the law firm Perkins-Coie to finance Fusion GPS who hired Christopher Steele to create the "Dossier". . The dossier was used to obtain warrants from the FISA court to justify spying on the Trump and the Republican campaign. Then they saved it as an "insurance policy" in case Trump won. There were rumors of it during the campaign and allegations of Russian "hacking".
The FISA warrant, which was verified as per Comey, wasn't verified, because Steele, the author, couldn't verify it. That is the Russian Hoax, CNN and MSNBC, along with all the other liberal media, sold their soul to the devil and are paying dearly for it now. In fact even the NYT has labeled it "Russian disinformation".
The Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats need to read more carefully. The scope of the interview is limited to FBI interactions with Steele. Not about the merits of his disabused dossier.
What Barr is investigating is the collection of lies that the FBI told the FISA court. One of them was that they knew Steele was not talking to the media. It was a crucial lie. Without it, the FISA court would have rejected their warrant request. Barr is going to prosecute those who lied about it. He couldn't care less about Steeles material.
