FBI had Multiple Versions of Steele Dossier
Timothy Birdnow
Apparently the FBI was playing with not one but three different versions of the "Golden Shower" Mike Steele dossier.
According to The Hill: "Now, memos the FBI is turning over to Congress show the bureau possessed at least three versions of the dossier and its mostly unverified allegations of collusion.
Each arrived from a different messenger: McCain, Mother Jones reporter David Corn, Fusion GPS founder (and Steele boss) Glenn Simpson.
That revelation is in an email that disgraced FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok wrote to FBI executives around the time BuzzFeed published a version of the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017.
"Our internal system is blocking the site,†Strzok wrote of the document posted on BuzzFeed. "I have the PDF via iPhone but it’s 25.6MB. Comparing now. The set is only identical to what McCain had. (it has differences from what was given to us by Corn and Simpson.)â€
The significance of Strzok’s email is obvious to investigators who reviewed it in recent days. The FBI is supposed to be immune to manipulation by circular information flows, especially with sensitive investigations such as evaluating whether a foreign power tampered with an American election.
Yet, in this case, the generally same information kept walking through the FBI’s door for months — recycled each time by a new character with ties to Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonFormer FBI lawyer Lisa Page gets closed-door grilling from House Republicans Ignore the spin — still no evidence of Trump collusion Bombshell indictments reinforce significance of midterm elections MORE or hatred for Trump — until someone decided they had to act.
That someone was Strzok, whose own anti-Trump bias was laid bare by his personal text messages. He first opened a case on Russia-Trump collusion on July 31, 2016 after the first flow of information, then escalated to get a warrant targeting a former Trump adviser in October after a second flurry of allegations."
End excerpt.
In other words, someone really, really, really wanted this thing to be made public - and that to destroy Donald J. Trump.
And despite this only being verifiable by the other copies of the dossier, the FBI failed to follow up on this and James Comey went ahead and briefed Trump, opening the door to it being "newsworthy" and thus allowing Buzzfeed to publish a version. It was a setup.
And with every version the trail leads back to the same place - the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Apparently Jim Jordan tried to ask Peter Strzok about this and the Democrats had a stroke; see the video here. They successfully blocked the question from being answered and diverted the discussion away from this.
Why is this important? Because it means someone set out to get Trump, not just report certain salacious allegations.
