Media Worried About Leaking of Dossier Sources After Leaking Dossier Sources

[Weatherman2020]

The declassification meltdown continues.

Obama administration officials along with their media wet nurses and a motley crew of partisans are worked up. They are troubled over President Trump’s directive to his wing man, AG William Barr to declassify the documents surrounding the investigations into the Trump’s involvement in the RUSSIA! collusion investigation.

The spin coming from these malefactors and conspirators focus around the ‘danger’ of releasing classified information. Does this sound familiar? It should, we heard the same clap trap when the Nunes-run House Intel Committee wanted to release their report on the RUSSIA! collusion scandal. Once the report was released, we all saw there was no national security risk and the concern was not about classified information it was just a trick to keep the report from seeing the light of day because the report was favorable to Trump.


Dossier Architects Claimed They Wanted To Protect Identity Of Sources. One Was Unmasked Anyway

The Financial Times and the Daily Beast also wrote stories. Did any of these characters show such concern when Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn was illegally unmasked?

Expect these righteous cries about endangering sources to continue and increase as Barr continues his investigation.

A so called Russian Dossier appears not to be Russian at all: it's British/Ukrainian/American.

Dimitri Simes on a Russian political TV show “The Great Game”: The second adversary of the President Trump is Christopher Steele who put together the famous dossier. Many believe that he’s a former UK intelligence officer, he headed the investigation of a Litvinenko case. Christopher Steele prepared his Trump dossier without coming to Moscow even once. He said he had his own sources. It’s becoming increasingly clear now that these sources were provided by the people we’ve just mentioned: originally they came from Russia and now settled in Ukraine, UK, London and USA. So, this attack on Donald Trump was if not directly inspired by London but London at least directly participated in it.

The problem they libs have right now is that the jig is up.

President Trump has all the cards. The general public doesn't know exactly who did what in regards to getting the Mueller Witch Hunt underway.

However, Mr. Trump and Mr. Barr know everything. They have the documents sitting on their desks right now. They know who has been implicated, and for what, who has been naughty and who has been nice. And they will expose it all in good time, when it is to the President's best advantage in their estimation.

If I were advising Comey, or Brennan or Clapper or President Obama for that matter, I'd tell them to get ahead of the story and preempt President Trump. Come clean, and if they have to, throw their co-conspirators under the bus.

It might not work out well for them- however right now they are heading for catastrophe. They are Traitors in the Hands of an Angry President, to paraphrase a great American theologian.

Those that are against declassification are concerned about liberty.

Their own.

Two former top FBI officials whom Democrats brought in as congressional witnesses for a hearing Wednesday on counterintelligence lessons to be learned from the Mueller report both admitted they’d never read the Steele dossier.

The two also testified that they had never heard of political opposition research being used in an FBI counterintelligence investigation prior to the Steele dossier.

Both were invited by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

The third witness, Andrew McCarthy, quipped “I’ve read it!” to some laughter from the assembled.

McCarthy, a former assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York who had been invited by committee Republicans, has written about it at length.

The now-infamous series of reports put together by British ex-spy Christopher Steele was compiled during 2016 and Steele had pushed it not just to the FBI but throughout the U.S. government, and had made efforts to provide it to a number of journalists as well.

BuzzFeed published the Steele dossier in January 2017 following reports that the intelligence community had briefed Trump, then president-elect, on its existence.

Steele created his dossier after he was hired by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which itself was receiving funding through the Clinton campaign and the DNC via the Perkins Coie law firm.

Many of the allegations found within the salacious dossier remain unverified, and some of them, such as accusations that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen was in Prague in the summer of 2016 to meet with shady foreign hackers, seem to have been proven false in the report.

The dossier was used in four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications and renewals targeting former Trump campaign associate Carter Page beginning in October 2016.

Stewart pressed the former government officials on whether it was typical for this sort of potentially politically motivated information to find its way into an FBI probe.

“Has the FBI ever used political opposition research funded by a U.S. political campaign — and including information for foreign agents — in a counterintelligence investigation? Are you aware of that ever happening before?” he asked.

The two former FBI officials said they’d never heard of something like that happening before the Steele dossier.

Former top FBI officials such as FBI Director James Comey, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and FBI General Counsel James Baker have all defended the FBI’s handling of the Steele dossier and its use in FISA applications.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has been looking into alleged FISA abuse, with a specific focus on Steele and the FBI, since March 2018. And Attorney General William Barr, along with his right-hand man U.S. Attorney John Durham, recently launched a broader investigation of the investigators, with a focus on the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia probe.

McCarthy said the problem wasn’t the source of the information but rather whether there had been an effort to assess its truthfulness.

“I’ve taken information from the worst people on the planet. I’ve taken information from terrorists, from murderers, from swindlers. When you do this kind of work, the people that you get information from tend not to be great people,” McCarthy said. “The question is, what do you do with the information when you get it? The more suspect the source of the information is, the higher your obligation is to verify it before you use it in any way that’s going to intrude on anyone’s rights.”​

McCarthy said that it seemed like the FBI had treated Steele like a source, but that in his view Steele was acting more as an “accumulator” of information from other sources, saying that “in this equation he’s much more like a case agent than a source.”

“Generally speaking, for prosecutors in courts in any warrant situation, whether it’s a FISA warrant or not, the source information are the people who see and hear and make the observations that the court is being asked to rely on for purposes of probable cause,” McCarthy said. “It generally doesn’t matter if your case agent is credible, it’s whether your source information is.”​

Badger should have looked that up instead of making a fool of himself. Must be he just isn't well read and he doesn't know what paraphrasing means. Not surprising probably has a College ed. though
