Trumps Dossier Conspiracy Collapses As DOJ Finds Steele Credible

Politico reported:
The extensive, two-day interview took place in London while Trump was in Britain for a state visit, the sources said, and delved into Steeles extensive work on Russian interference efforts globally, his intelligence-collection methods and his findings about Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who the FBI ultimately surveilled. The FBIs decision to seek a surveillance warrant against Page a warrant they applied for and obtained after Page had already left the campaign is the chief focus of the probe by Horowitz.
The interview was contentious at first, the sources added, but investigators ultimately found Steeles testimony credible and even surprising. The takeaway has irked some U.S. officials interviewed as part of the probe they argue that it shouldnt have taken a foreign national to convince the inspector general that the FBI acted properly in 2016. Steeles American lawyer was present for the conversation.
Trumps Steele Dossier Conspiracy Has Collapsed
Attorney General William Barr launched an internal investigation into the FBIs conduct during the Russia investigation to help Trump prove his witch hunt theory that the FBI was out to get him. The finding by the internal investigation that Steele is credible is a crippling blow to the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump has been trying to use to muddy the waters on the Russia investigation.
Trumps investigate the investigators abuse of power is falling apart. There is nothing to the conspiracy that the FBI was out to get Trump during the 2016 campaign. Christopher Steeles dossier was not the reason why the FBI launched an investigation into the Trump campaign. The FBI never spied on Donald Trump. It is a disgrace that William Barr would conduct this internal investigation. There is no evidence that the FBI did anything wrong in investigating the Trump campaign.

(9,291 posts)Please leave Christopher Steele alone. He's gone above and beyond his call of duty.
Wish our FBI did.

(16,254 posts)We'll probably never know, but I'd think you could add this confirmation that Steele was mainly correct to the failures Trump has suffered from various courts.
When Trump tries to draw attention from his screw-ups (no pun intended), he seems to sue somebody or demand ridiculous investigations as easily as pointing a scepter at his barrister. He sure keeps Barr running.

Did some small part of him think it WAS a conspiracy?
I knew this would happen - their investigation would prove everything they doubted.

Does anyone believe that Bill Barr, a jurist with above average intelligence, actually thought there was merit to Trump's accusation that the FBI was "out to get him"? Of course he knew better, but he went through the motions on Trump's behest. I'd bet there's a secret Hillary investigation afoot as well.
