Republican senators lying when they said Christopher Steele would not meet with them
BUSTED: Maddow reveals senators were lying when they said British ‘dossier’ spy refused to meet with them
The infamous dossier gathered by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele got even closer investigation by Robert Mueller’s team after it was revealed the two met.
In her opening report Thursday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow explained that the vast majority of the things in the dossier have been proven correct. What is left to be proven, obviously, are the more salacious personal details. Her example was that the dossier claimed Russia was behind the hack of the DNC, which was eventually proven correct. Similarly, months before it was proven that President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization sought to build a Trump Tower Moscow project, the dossier revealed it. Long before there was proof that Russian government sources offered derogatory information about Hillary Clinton to the Trump campaign directly, Steele had the information in his dossier.
“So, a lot of this he did dead right,” Maddow said. “A lot of this that seemed nuts when we read this published in January. Since then it has been reported out and proven.”
Wednesday, it was reported that Muller has now taken over the FBI investigation to corroborate the dossier. Thursday the story broke that Mueller’s team met with Steele. The report revealed that the FBI and the intelligence community took the dossier far more seriously than it was reported.
