TREASON: FBI and DOJ told Congress they did NOT verify Trump dossier before requesting FISA spy warrant
FBI and Justice Department officials have told congressional
investigators in recent days that they have not been able to verify or
corroborate the substantive allegations of collusion between Russia and
the Trump campaign outlined in the Trump dossier.
The FBI received the first installment of the dossier in July 2016.
It received later installments as they were written at the height of
the presidential campaign, which means the bureau has had more than a
year to investigate the allegations in the document. The dossier was
financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign and compiled by former British
spy Christopher Steele.
Intelligence Committee to the FBI and Justice Department asked for
information on the bureau’s efforts to validate the dossier.
Specifically, the subpoena demanded “any documents, if they exist, that
memorialize DOJ and/or FBI efforts to corroborate, validate, or evaluate
information provided by Mr. Steele and/or sub-sources and/or contained
in the ‘Trump Dossier.'”
According to sources familiar with the matter, neither the FBI nor
the Justice Department has provided documents in response to that part
of the committee’s subpoena. But in face-to-face briefings with
congressional staff, according to those sources, FBI and DOJ officials
have said they cannot verify the dossier’s charges of a conspiracy
between the Russian government and the Trump campaign.
The news appears to contradict recent statements from some top
Democrats. “A lot of it has turned out to be true,” Rep. Adam Schiff,
ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence panel, told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
